1. Windows Server 2003 Terminal Server

2. Windows Terminal Server Rapid access to data and applications from anywhere LAN Data Wireless LAN VPN Applications xDSL/Cable Dial-up Thin Clients Windows 2000, XP UNIX/ Mac Smart Devices Windows NT, 9x Task Workers Knowledge Workers BusinessPartners Centralized access to Windows-based applications WANs Faster application performance over constrained network connections Experience Windows on virtually any computing device

3. Windows Terminal Server Benefits  Centralized access to Windows-based applications  Rapid Deployment  Centralized Updates and Support  Data Security  Faster performance over low bandwidth connections  Mobile Access  Faster Performance = Better User Experience  Minimize Networking Costs  Experience Windows on any computing device  Non-PC Desktops (WBT, Mac, UNIX etc)  Lightweight devices (PDA, Cell Phone etc)  Legacy desktops

4. Run Applications Locally or Remotely? Scenario Execute Application Locally Execute Application Remotely Offline access to data  Processor economy of scale  Resource- or processor-intensive applications  16-bit applications for Windows and MS-DOS  Self-installed applications  Access to diverse peripherals  Infrequently used/frequently updated applications  Low-bandwidth access  ‘PC-unfriendly’ environments  Non-Windows-based desktops  Applications in transition  External business partners and users 

5. Geographic Consolidation  Opportunity  Data consolidation and rapid deployment of LOB applications  Challenge  Bandwidth limitations, loosely managed or PC unfriendly environments  Solution  Centralize app execution on Windows Terminal Servers in the data center Data Center SQLTS

7. Improvements to Terminal Server in Windows Server 2003 Goal: A Better Out of the Box solution  New and Improved RDP Client: 5.2  Enhanced Manageability  Increased Scalability  Enhanced Security

8. Remote Desktop Connection – RDP 5.2  Full (.MSI), MMC and Web (ActiveX)  Full client included with Windows XP  Improved usability  Full screen connection bar  Save connection settings from same UI  Enhanced client error messages (40+ new messages)  High color (up to 24-bit), Hi-Res (1600x1200)  Resource redirection  Audio output, Windows key combos, Disk drives and printers (local and network), Serial devices, Smart card, Clipboard (+files)  Full desktop or specific application  Network and Performance Improvements  Increased network bandwidth savings over RDP 5.0  Remote ‘experience’ turns off wallpaper, visual styles etc depending on network connection  Auto-reconnect (new with XP SP1)  Enhanced security  128-bit bi-directional RC4  User prompted if redirections enabled  FIPS 140-1 Encryption Level

9. Terminal Server Management  Farm Management  TS configuration settings discoverable and settable via WMI  Group and Local Policy for most configuration option  ADSI interface for scripting TS user properties  Enhanced TS Admin and built-in TS client MMC snap-in  Connection to the Console via RDP  SMS and MOM for software distribution and monitoring/eventing  Print Management  Enhanced print driver matching in near-miss cases  Trusted Driver Path – Lets you specify other standard printer drivers  The print stream is compressed for better slow-link performance between a server and client

10. Terminal Server Management  License Management  Simplified License Server Activation  More intuitive to add licenses  Resource Management  WSRM: Windows System Resource Manager- manages CPU and RAM for applications or TS users.  Makes sure that all users get the best possible experience or that mission critical applications get priority.

11. Scalability:  Scale-up enhancements  Supports more processors and RAM per server  Alleviated kernel address space limitations in 32-bit server  64-bit has exponentially more kernel address space  Still tuning for maximum TS scalability  Focusing on 32-bit  32-bit applications on 64-bit not cost effective due to processor and RAM overhead  Whitepaper available  Scale-out support  Session Directory (Enterprise and DC Server only)  Routes users to disconnected session across farm  Enhanced Load Balancer Support. (support from F5 Labs, Radware, and WLBS)  Session Directory Service itself is cluster-aware (using MSCS)
