Remote desktop connection
-
Hello, I just installed a windows 2000 server. I want to be able to access this server using remote desktop connection. I saw on other server that there is a section "terminal services" in control panel, which i don't have. Should i install this from somewhere? is this what i need so that i can use then remote desktop connection? Thank you for your help!

No, remote desktop connection should always work (although just one user may be connected at a time, remote or local). You only need Terminal Services if you are using the computer as an Application Server. With TS, you AFAIK might need two licences of each use of the software: one per connection to the server and one for the client that is connecting. Terminal Services just means that the server is able to provide independent sessions for multiple connected users. Cheers, Sebastian -- Contra vim mortem non est medicamen in hortem.

Hi Sebastian, thank you for your answer. However, i asked because i was trying to connect to the server using remote desktop connection, and it doesn't work. In the error message is is written that one possible cause could be the fact te remote desktop is not enabled.

Windows 2000 do not have a remote desktop connection. Remote desktop connection is available only in windows xp and windows 2003. In windows 2000 you will need to purchase a separate product call terminal service for windows 2000. You might consider other available too such as RealVNC[^] but you need to read its document much more detail especially relate to security issue.

Install Terminal Services When asked, select Administrative mode. Then you can use Remote Desktop.

The install for Terminal Services should be on the CD, to install it, got to add / remove applications, select windows components toward the bottom is a check mark for Terminal Services. Do the install from there, once it has installed you will need to update the computer with MS, as memory serves there is important updates for it. On the client side you will need to install remote desktop, search Microsoft for remote desktop or msrdpcli.exe. You are limited to two people logged on to the box through Remote Desktop. Don’t forget to log off other wise it will leave that user connected. I have and use both Remote Desktop and VNC, Remote Desktop is by far faster and nicer to use (IMHO). Give it a whirl. BTW, I use an all Win2k environment (Win2k Clients and Server). It works...
I'd love to help, but unfortunatley I have prior commitments monitoring the length of my grass. :Andrew Bleakley:
