What is Terminal Services?The
Terminal Services server role in Windows ServerŽ 2008 provides
technologies that enable users to access Windows-based programs that
are installed on a terminal server, or to access the full Windows
desktop. With Terminal Services, users can access a terminal server
from within a corporate network or from the Internet. Terminal
Services lets you efficiently deploy and maintain software in an
enterprise environment. You can easily deploy programs from a central
location. Because you install the programs on the terminal server and
not on the client computer, programs are easier to upgrade and to
maintain. When a user accesses a program on a terminal server,
the program execution occurs on the server. Only keyboard, mouse, and
display information is transmitted over the network. Each user sees
only their individual session. The session is managed transparently by
the server operating system and is independent of any other client
session.
