3 Microsoft Partner Conference 2004 3 What is it? Terminal Services provides a multi-session environment that allows client devices to access a virtual Windows Professional desktop session and Windows-based programs running on the server, even for devices without an operating system.

4 Microsoft Partner Conference 2004 4 How Does it Work? Uses RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol), relies on TCP/IP, and falls under the application layer of the ISO 7-layer model. RDP - is the client software used to communicate between device and terminal service, also available in browser form for remote internet usage (Advanced Client). A 128 bit, RC4 (stream cipher) bi-directional encryption method is used to secure the connection.

6 Microsoft Partner Conference 2004 6 What about Installation & Activation?

7 Microsoft Partner Conference 2004 7 Activation Windows Server 2003 Terminal Server requires that you install a license server before the terminal server can function. A license server is a computer on which Terminal Server Licensing is installed. For small deployments, it is acceptable to install both the Terminal Server and the Terminal Server Licensing service on the same physical computer. However, for larger deployments suggest that Terminal Server Licensing be installed on a separate server.

8 Microsoft Partner Conference 2004 8 Configuring a Terminal Server Open the ‘configure your server’ wizard from Administrative Tools and in the select a role section, choose Terminal Server and click Next twice to confirm your actions. The wizard will then start to install the required files. The installation will continue for a few minutes before the machine is restarted. After the machine has booted and you logon, you are presented with a confirmation screen that states the computer is now a terminal server.

9 Microsoft Partner Conference 2004 9 Activating Terminal Server Licensing A license server is not considered operational until it is activated. To activate Terminal Server Licensing: 1. On the computer running Terminal Server License Server, click Start, Programs, Administrative Tools, Terminal Server Licensing. 2. If the License Server has not been activated, in the console tree, right-click the Terminal Server License Server you want to activate. 3. Click Activate Server to start the Activation Wizard. 4. In the Activation method list, select Automatic connection (recommended), and then click Next. 5. Follow the instructions in the wizard.

10 Microsoft Partner Conference 2004 10 Deciding What Type of Client Access License (CAL) to Purchase Windows Server 2003 Terminal Server can operate in two licensing modes: Per Device (default factory setting) and Per User. A Per Device CAL gives each client computer or device the right to access a terminal server that is running Windows Server 2003. If you install Per Device CALs on your license server, you need to ensure that the licensing mode on Terminal Server is set to Per Device. Using Per User licensing, one user can access a terminal server from an unlimited number of devices and only one CAL is needed instead of a CAL for each device. If you purchase and install Per User CALs on your license server, you must set the licensing mode on to Per User. Note: Per User Licensing is not monitored by Terminal Server. This means that when you install Per User CALs, do not expect the number of available Per User CALs to be monitored.

11 Microsoft Partner Conference 2004 11 Installing Terminal Server CALs Terminal Server Licensing is of no value unless it has Terminal Server CAL tokens—an electronic representation of a Terminal Server CAL— which it can issue to various terminal servers. The terminal servers, in turn, can pass the tokens to the client devices connected to those terminal servers. After you purchase the appropriate type and quantity of Terminal Server CALs, you need to install them on the computer running Terminal Server Licensing. To install CALs: 1. On the computer running Terminal Server Licensing, click Start, Programs, Administrative Tools, Terminal Server Licensing. 2. Select the license server in the right pane, and then on the Action menu, Install, Licenses. 3. Follow the steps in the wizard for a successful installation of the CALs.

12 Microsoft Partner Conference 2004 12 Making Sure That Your Terminal Server Can Detect the License Server It is essential that a Windows Server 2003 Terminal Server is able to detect a computer running Terminal Server Licensing on Windows Server 2003 for correct operation within your computing network. A Microsoft Windows 2000 license server cannot provide licenses to a Windows Server 2003 Terminal Server. However, a Windows Server 2003 license server can provide licenses to both Windows Server 2003 and Windows 2000 Terminal Server and, therefore, can support a mixed environment consisting of both Windows 2000 Terminal Server and Windows Server 2003 Terminal Server. Although Terminal Server attempts to detect a license server automatically, you may want to explicitly specify the license server your Terminal Server connects to.

14 Microsoft Partner Conference 2004 14 Changes to Windows Server 2003 Terminal Services Licensing The licensing of Terminal Server in Windows Server 2003 has changed from previous versions (Windows 2000 Server and NT 4.0). Three primary changes were made to the licensing of Terminal Server in Windows Server 2003: 1.User based licensing has been added to the historical Per-Device model. Customers will be able to purchase a TS CAL for a specific Device or a single User that accesses TS. 2.All devices or users will be required to be assigned a TS CAL, regardless of the OS running on the client access device. With previous versions of Terminal Server, devices that were running the most current version of the Windows Professional Client OS were granted access to Terminal Servers without TS CALs (Windows 2000 and Windows XP Pro). 3.The TS Internet Connector has been replaced by the TS External Connector. This license allows for an unlimited number of ‘External Users’ to access a single server (copy of the OS) and use TS.

15 Microsoft Partner Conference 2004 15 User CAL – Satisfying Roaming Use The addition of the User CAL for Terminal Server solves many of the problems with the current Terminal Server licensing model. Many customers wanted to give their users the flexibility to use TS from multiple devices, including devices that the company did not own or control, such as home PCs, PDAs or kiosks in airports or hotels. With Device based licensing, the customer was required to purchase a TS CAL for each device that a user connected to a terminal server from. This became cost prohibitive or was impossible if the company did not know how to track devices that it did not own. The User CAL will alleviate these problems because now a company only has to purchase a User CAL for each user and it is then licensed for any number of devices that he/she might connect to a Terminal Server with.

16 Microsoft Partner Conference 2004 16 Transition Plan – End of Operating System Equivalency All devices or users will be required to be assigned a TS CAL, regardless of the OS running on the client access device. With previous versions of Terminal Server, devices that were running the most current version of the Windows Professional Client OS were granted access to Terminal Servers without TS CALs (Windows 2000 and Windows XP Pro. Microsoft realizes that the removal of operating system equivalency will affect customers and is committed to accommodating existing Microsoft customers who would like to take advantage of Windows Server 2003 features. Every Windows XP Professional desktop license that a customer owned on the date of the public launch of Windows Server 2003 (April 24 2003) will be eligible for a complimentary Windows Server 2003 TS CAL.

18 Microsoft Partner Conference 2004 18 TS External Connector License A company has 2 choices when licensing Windows Server 2003 for external use: 1.Obtain TS CALs for each external user or device that will connect to a Terminal Server. 2.Obtain a TS External Connector for each copy of Windows Server 2003 that will be used by external users. Customers will make their purchasing decision based on economics and ease of management. Customers with a small number of external users may elect to purchase TS CALs for those users or devices. Customers with a large number of external Users or has users that are difficult to track may choose to purchase the External Connector.

22 Microsoft Partner Conference 2004 22 Application Licensing (e.g. Office in a Terminal Services Environment) When a user runs Office 2003 through Windows Terminal Services, all of the application execution takes place on the server — only the keyboard, mouse, and display information are transmitted over the network to the client computer. If you elect to deploy Office 2003 as a client on a Windows Terminal Services–enabled computer, you will need to acquire one license for each client computer that makes use of the Microsoft Office System.

If you purchase and install Per User CALs on your license server, you must set the licensing mode on to Per User. Note: Per User Licensing is not monitored by Terminal Server. This means that when you install Per User CALs, do not expect the number of available Per User CALs to be monitored.

However, a Windows Server 2003 license server can provide licenses to both Windows Server 2003 and Windows 2000 Terminal Server and, therefore, can support a mixed environment consisting of both Windows 2000 Terminal Server and Windows Server 2003 Terminal Server. Although Terminal Server attempts to detect a license server automatically, you may want to explicitly specify the license server your Terminal Server connects to.
