Title: What is Terminal Services?
Talking Points:
Windows Server® 2008 Terminal Services, a component of Microsoft Windows Server® 2008, enables organizations of all sizes to provide end-user access to Windows-based applications and data stored on a remote computer via a network. With Terminal Services, only the User Interface (UI) of an application is presented on the client system. Any input to it is redirected over the network to the server, where all application processing occurs.
Terminal Services functionality adds value to organizations large and small in many different situations, including overall improved resource allocation within the IT department. Each solution must take into account, among other things, the type of user population, the application characteristics, and client and environment management best practices. These factors will ultimately drive an organization’s application and data access strategy.
There are a number of key features in Windows Server 2008 Terminal Services, including Windows Server® Terminal Services RemoteApp, Terminal Services Gateway and Terminal Services Web Access that greatly enhance the solution. The functionality provided by these features is as follows;
Terminal Services RemoteApp™ applications appear no different than local applications. They work seamlessly with the task bar and new Windows Vista® features like 3-D flip. TS RemoteApp helps improve end-user productivity and reduces training requirements.
Terminal Services Gateway more securely connects applications and data to users outside the firewall and helps provide simple and highly secure delivery of critical applications and data to mobile employees without a VPN.
Terminal Services Web Access simplifies application deployment by making applications available from a web page or a SharePoint portal without installing them on the local PC. Speed application deployment by quickly connecting users
with the applications they need.
Terminal Services Session Broker delivers session-based load-balancing to a TS Farm. TS Session Broker helps bring better uptime and performance to your TS environment.
Terminal Services Easy Print leverages the client-side print driver (no server side driver needed) to enable fast and reliable printing to a local or network-attached printer. End users can more productively work from remote locations.
RD Easy Print
Removes need to install any printer drivers on terminal server
100% of printer functionality is available to user
Platform Investments
Improved management via new APIs, WMI & Improved Event Logs
Improved security & reliability, e.g. ability to patch TS without restart

Virtual Machine Management (SCVMM)
TS-based
Remote Desktop
Hyper-V-based
Remote Desktop
Remote Desktop Connection Broker
Hyper-V support for VDI - Providing a better virtualization platform for scalable and highly available VDI deployments
Live Migration of Virtual Machines – With Live Migration, there will be no perceived downtime in the desktop workloads running in the VM, and network connections from and to the VM being migrated will stay connected. This capability will be possible between hosts within a High Availability cluster.
The new Remote Desktop Connection Broker, which extends the Session Broker capabilities already found in Windows Server 2008, creates a unified admin experience for traditional session-based remote desktops and (new) virtual machine-based remote desktops. The two key deployment scenarios supported by the Remote Desktop Connection Broker, besides traditional TS, are persistent (permanent) VMs and pooled VMs. In either case, the in-box solution supports storage of the image(s) on the Hyper-V host.
SCVMM 2008 support provides intelligent placement of VMs during placement, fast and reliable P2V and V2V (VMware to Hyper-V) conversions as well monitoring of all virtual and physical assets from “one single pane of glass”.

Remote Desktop Gateway  - RDG securely provides access to these resources from Internet without the need for opening additional ports or the use of a VPN. RDG provides this by tunneling RDP over HTTPS and incorporating may security conscious features; in addition to the features from previous releases we have added:
Silent Session Re-authentication - The Gateway administrator can now configure the TS Gateway to run periodic user authentication & authorization on all live connections. This ensures that any changes to users profiles are enforced. For users whose profiles haven’t changed, the experience is seamless.
Secure device redirection - The Gateway Administrator can be assured that his device redirection settings are always enforced even from unmanaged clients like kiosks
Pluggable Authentication – For corporations that have specific need to implement their own authentication & authorization technologies, now have the flexibility to plug-in their preferred authentication/authorization mechanisms on the Gateway.

Completing the Remote Desktop Services toolset addressing customer  needs. Remote Desktops Services in Windows Server R2 focuses on improving management for all the existing scenarios delivered previously in Terminal Services and the exciting new scenarios in Remote Desktop Services; additionally we have added features to help improve application compatibility and ensure system stability by protecting against runway applications.
Microsoft Installer (MSI) compatibility – We have fixed multiple MSI related issues with Remote Desktop Server to ensure that MSI install packages can be installed normally, that per-user install settings are correctly propagated and removed the need to put the server in ‘install mode’, meaning users no longer need to be logged off.
RDS Powershell Provider – Easily manage multiple sever and repetitive tasks - almost all Remote Desktop Services administrative tasks can now be scripted; view and edit configuration settings for RD Gateway, Remote Desktop Server and more.
Profile Improvements – The user profile cache quota removes the need to delete profiles at logoff speeding up user logon and prevents server downtime caused by disk space exhaustion due to user profile bloat. Group policy caching can now be performed across a TS Farm to speed up group policy processing during logon
Providing a better platform for partner innovation  
Session broker extensibility - The session broker offers broad extensibility to enable customers and ISV to take advantage of the built in RDP redirection features whilst providing significant additional unique value through the various types of plug-ins; for example:
Policy (policy plug-in) – determining proper farm or VM for a connection
Load Balancing (filter plug-in) – Choosing the proper endpoint based on load
Orchestration (filter plug-in) – Preparing a VM to Accept RDP connections
Placement (resource plug-in) – Locating the proper VM and placing it on the proper VM Hos
RemoteApp& Desktop Web Access Customization – it is now possible to easily extend the look and feel of web access by both customers and partners using support for cascading style sheets. It is possible to host the the webpart sharepoint .. It is also possible to create custom websites that consume the RemoteApp & Desktop Connection XML feed and transform these with XSLT.
RemoteApp & Desktop Connection – Whilst RAD connections are currently only used for Remote Desktop Services is it is possible to extend both the server side infrastructure and Windows 7 client shell to add support for any type of applications or service – even ones that don’t use RDP or remoting protocols. This provides a single UI and point of discoverability for any service.
Connection Broker Extensibility
Orchestration plug-ins – e.g. VM preparation, VM placement
Policy plug-ins – e.g. load balancing, security etc
