Terminal Services Facts By default, Windows 2003 comes with Remote Desktop enabled. Using Remote Desktop, you can connect to a server and manage it remotely just as you would if you were sitting at the server console. Remote Desktop uses Terminal Services technology. Terminal Services can also be used by end users to connect to the server and run applications. For example, users can connect to a server to run an application that is not supported on the client system. Keep in mind the following details regarding Remote Desktop.

Remote Desktop is the same as running Terminal Services in administration mode on previous Windows versions. Remote Desktop is limited to two concurrent connections. When using Remote Desktop, the user account used to connect to the server must be assigned a password, and must be given explicit permission for Remote Desktop. Allow users for Remote Desktop through the System applet. Client computers require client software to make the connection. This software is included with Windows XP or Windows Server 2003, but must be installed separately on other Windows versions (Windows 2000, for example).

Keep in mind the following details regarding Terminal Services.

You can support many more clients by installing Terminal Services (also called installing application mode for Terminal Services). Use Add/Remove Windows components to install Terminal Services. Microsoft allows an evaluation period for Terminal Services of 120 days. You must install a licensing server prior to expiration or the server will stop accepting remote connections. Many settings on the RDP-Tcp properties Sessions tab can override individually configured user settings. Use the Msg command to send a message to all connected users of a particular terminal services server. You should know the following facts about Msg:
o

The syntax is {UserName | SessionName | SessionID} [/server:ServerName] [Message].

o o o

UserName is the name of the user you want to receive the message. SessionName is the name of the session you want to receive the message. SessionID is the numeric ID of the session whose user you want to receive a message. /server:ServerName specifies the terminal server whose session or user you want to receive the message. (If unspecified, /server uses the server to which you are currently logged on.) Message is the actual message you wish to send.

The Query user command-line tool displays the names of any currently logged on users or sessions with Terminal Services.
