Microsoft Server 2003 Terminal Services 5-Pack

Terminal Services in Windows Server 2003 provides new options for application deployment, more efficient access to data over low bandwidth, reuse of older hardware, remote management, and other tasks.

Terminal Server lets you deliver Windows-based applications or the Windows desktop itself, to virtually any computing device - including those that cannot run Windows. For example, a user can access a virtual Windows XP Professional desktop and x86-based Windows applications from hardware that cannot run the software locally. Terminal Server provides this capability for both Windows and non-Windows-based client devices.

Terminal Server can enhance an enterprise's software deployment capabilities for a variety of scenarios that remain difficult to solve using traditional application distribution technologies. When users run an application on Terminal Server, the application ution takes place on the server, and only keyboard, mouse and display information is transmitted over the network. Users see only their own individual sessions, which are managed transparently by the server operating system, and remain independent of any other client session.

Windows 2000 Terminal Services remote administration mode is called ",Remote Desktop for Administration", in Windows Server 2003, and supports the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) 5.1 feature set. It also has the ability to remote the actual console session of the server. Note: Terminal Server mode is not included on computers running the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Web Edition. However, Remote Desktop for Administration is available on Windows Server 2003 Web Edition.

Authorize more users to access your Windows Server 2003! Now you have the choice of licensing users or devices.

A User client will cover a particular user's access to the server software from work PCs and laptops, as well as from home PCs, PDAs, Internet kiosks, and other devices.

A Device client will cover multiple users' access to Windows Server software from a single, shared device.

Per-User vs. per-Device: purchasing a Windows User client might make more sense if your company has a need for employees to have roaming access using multiple devices. Windows Device clients may make more sense if your company has multiple-shift workers who share devices. Note: Client Access Licenses must have the same or a later version number than the corresponding version number of the Server Software being used.
