How do I Install Terminal Services?

IMPORTANT NOTE: Before starting task 1, you should verify that your computer is connected to a peer-to-peer network. Setup a Client-Server network (Domain) as you do.

Introduction to Terminal Services:

Terminal Services enables multi-user access to Windows 2000, allowing several people to run sessions from a single computer simultaneously. Administrators can install Windows-based applications on a Terminal server and make these applications available to all clients who connect to the server. Although users may have different hardware and operating systems, the Terminal session that opens on the client desktop looks and runs the same on each device. Administrators can also remotely administer servers. There are two types of Terminal Services Mode:

1. Remote Administration Mode: Allows a limited number of administrators to remotely manage a server.
Remote Administration does not require licensing and only allows two remote connections at a time.

2. Application Server Mode: Allows users to remotely run one or more applications.

To use this option, you must set up a Terminal Service Licensing Server in the domain or workgroup within 90 days.



Benefits of Terminal Services:
º Allow Administrators to remotely administer servers.
º Offices can be equipped with less-expensive terminals or computers.
º Easy access to new or upgraded software. When Terminal Services is enabled on Windows 2000 Server in Application Server Mode, administrators do not have to install applications on each desktop computer. As the application is installed on the server, clients automatically have access to the new or upgraded software package.
