Installing Terminal Server

This section covers information about installing Terminal Server:

• Before Installing Terminal Server

• Choosing the security mode for a terminal server

• Switching Terminal Services on and off

• Managing Terminal Services from the command line

When you install one of the Windows Server 2003 family operating systems, Remote Desktop for Administration is installed automatically. With Remote Desktop for Administration, you can create up to two concurrent remote connections to your server for remote administration and other tasks. To use Remote Desktop for Administration, you must first enable remote connections. For more information, see Enable or disable Remote Desktop.

To use Terminal Services for multiuser application hosting, you must install the Terminal Server component using the Configure Your Server Wizard. (Terminal Server is not included in Windows Server 2003, Web Edition.)
