 Installing Applications on a Terminal Server

Terminal Services is an optional component of the Microsoft® Windows® 2000


Server family that is ideal for making applications available to mobile users,
branch offices, or Windows-based terminals. Because all application and data
processing takes place on the server, clients do not require significant amounts
of random access memory (RAM) or processing power. Therefore, Terminal
Services can help an organization reduce the total cost of ownership (TCO) by
using existing client hardware and lower-cost equipment, such as Windows-
based terminals or handheld personal computers. Additionally, you can
configure Terminal Services to perform remote administration on servers
running Windows 2000.
At the end of this module, you will be able to:

 Introduction to Terminal Services


Slide Objective
To identify topics relevant to
Terminal Services for
Windows 2000.  How Terminal Services Works
Lead-in  Features and Benefits
This introduction provides
an understanding of the
many purposes and uses of
Terminal Services in an
organization.

Terminal Services enables multiuser access to the Windows 2000 operating


system, allowing several people to run sessions simultaneously from a single
computer. Administrators can install Windows-based applications on a server
running Terminal Services. These applications are available to all clients who
connect to the server desktop. Although users may have different hardware and
operating systems, the Terminal session that opens on the client desktop looks
and runs the same way on each device.
Terminal Services also allows you to open sessions on a remote server and
administer the server from another computer.

Start 12:00 PM

The multiuser system environment of Terminal Services consists of three parts:


 Terminal Services server. The server manages the computing resources for
each client session and provides all users who are logged on with their own
unique environment. The server receives and processes all keystrokes and
mouse actions that the remote client performs and directs all display output
for both the operating system and applications to the appropriate client.
 Client. The Terminal session opens as a window on the desktop of the client
computer. Running within that window is the remote desktop of the
Terminal server. The client computer needs only the minimum amount of
software that is necessary to establish a connection to the server and present
the user interface.
 RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol). RDP supports communication between
the client and the server. RDP is optimized to move graphic interface
elements to the client. RDP is an application-layer protocol that relies on
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to carry it across
the network. RDP is based on the International Telecommunication Union
(ITU) T.120 standard for multi-channel conferencing.

Note Many network-based applications, such as Microsoft NetMeeting™,


employ the ITU T.120 standard. For more information about the T.120
standard, see the International Multimedia Teleconferencing Consortium
Web site at http://www.imtc.org.

Features and Benefits


Slide Objective
To identify the features and
benefits of Terminal
Services.  Access to Windows 2000 Desktop and Applications
Lead-in  Increased Security and Reliability
Terminal Services provides
several features and  Enhanced Administration and Support
benefits to meet a broad
range of business needs.  Centralized Deployment of Line-of-Business
Applications

The features of Terminal Services provide several benefits that an organization


can use for a range of business purposes.

Access to Windows 2000 Desktop and Applications


Terminal Services can be used to extend the Windows 2000 operating system
and Windows-based applications to a variety of clients. The following list
describes some of the advantages of extending access:
 Run Windows applications. Windows-based applications can be made
available to a wide range of clients with little or no modification. You do
not need to rewrite applications to run on different operating systems and
hardware.

Note With the Citrix MetaFrame add-on installed, non-Windows clients


can also connect to Terminal Services.

 Extend the use of older equipment. Terminal Services can be implemented


as a transitional technology to bridge older operating systems and desktop
environments to Windows 2000 and 32-bit Windows-based applications.
 Replace text-based terminals. Because many Windows-based terminals also
natively support terminal emulation on the same device, organizations can
replace text-based terminals with Windows-based terminals. Windows-
based terminals enable users who work with data from host systems to have
access to newer Windows-based applications.
Module 10: Installing and Configuring Terminal Services 5

Increased Security and Reliability


Because no application or user data ever resides on the client, Terminal
Services provides more control for security. Terminal Services also provides
multilevel encryption support, which you can enable whenever there is a risk of
unauthorized transmission interception on the link between the server and the
client. There are three levels of encryption available: low, medium, and high.
All levels of encryption use standard RSA RC4 encryption (a public-key
encryption technology).

Enhanced Administration and Support


Terminal Services has several features that are useful for administrative and
support tasks, which can also help reduce administration and support costs:
 Remote administration. Administrators can manage Windows 2000 servers
from a single desktop. Administrators have access to system management
tools and can perform all administrative tasks, including software
installation, as if they were performing them locally at the server.
 Remote control. Using remote control, administrators can monitor the
actions of a user who is logged on to a Terminal server from another client
session. Remote control allows an administrator to either observe or actively
control a client session. When actively controlling a client session, keyboard
and mouse actions are input directly to the client session. A client session
cannot remotely control the system console and the system console cannot
remotely control a client session. Also, the system being used to remotely
control a client session must be capable of supporting the video resolution
that is being used at the remotely controlled client session. Remote control
is useful for remote troubleshooting and when training remote users on new
applications.

Centralized Deployment of Line-of-Business Applications


Terminal Services has the lowest TCO for a single application device running a
line of business application, such as a reservation system or a call center.
Organizations can deploy line of business applications in a fully server-centric
mode, where applications run entirely on the server. Terminal Services provides
the following benefits:
 Less expensive hardware. Employees who perform jobs that only require
access to one line of business application can be equipped with less-
expensive terminals or computers.
 Easy access to new or upgraded software. When Terminal Services is
enabled on Windows 2000 Server, administrators do not have to install
applications on each desktop computer. Instead, the application is installed
once on the server, and the clients automatically have access to the new or
upgraded software package.

The key to successful Terminal Services installation is proper planning.


Perform the following tasks before you install Terminal Services:
 Identify the client applications that you need to install on the server.
 Identify the hardware requirements for clients.
 Determine the server configuration that is required to support clients.
 Identify the license server and client licenses that are required for Terminal
Services operation.

Slide Objective
To identify issues that are
associated with client
applications in a Terminal  Windows-based Applications
Services environment.
 MS-DOS-based Applications
Lead-in
There are issues that are  Other Application Issues
related to client applications
that should be considered
when planning a Terminal
Services installation.

Before you install Terminal Services, identify the applications that you intend
to deploy to client desktops. Most applications that run properly on
Windows 2000 will run on a Terminal server. Some applications may require
minor modification to run successfully in a Terminal Services environment.
Install applications on a test server before you deploy these applications in your
production environment to ensure compatibility with your existing applications.

Windows-based Applications
Applications that you install on a server running Terminal Services must be
compatible with Windows 2000. If an application does not run on
Windows 2000, it will not run in the multiuser environment on a Terminal
server.
Windows-based, 32-bit applications operate more efficiently than 16-bit
applications by taking full advantage of 32-bit hardware and operating systems.
Running 16-bit applications on a Terminal server can reduce the number of
users that a processor can support by as much as 40 percent and increase the
memory required per user by 50 percent.
8 Module 10: Installing and Configuring Terminal Services

MS-DOS-based Applications
Because Microsoft MS-DOS®-based applications were never designed for a
multitasking environment, applications can slow the performance of a system
with idle processes. You may need to adjust settings to increase performance.

Caution Microsoft does not specifically test or support any MS-DOS-based


applications for use with Terminal Services. It is recommended that you replace
MS-DOS-based applications with 32-bit Windows-based applications.

Other Application Issues


Some applications have features that may prevent them from working with
Terminal Services or cause them to perform poorly. The following types of
applications need careful consideration:
 Single-user applications. Some applications, such as older text-based
applications, were designed to run in a single-user or single-desktop
environment and may not install or function properly in a Terminal Services
environment.
 Applications that require special hardware. Devices such as bar code
scanners or smart card readers can be used with a Terminal Services client
only if:
• The devices are connected to the computer or terminal in such a way that
the peripheral device is recognized as a keyboard-type device.
• The connecting software and hardware support the connection to the
client.
 Custom applications. Custom applications may need to be modified to run
in the Terminal Services environment.

10 Module 10: Installing and Configuring Terminal Services

Extending Terminal Services for Non-Windows Clients


Citrix MetaFrame for Windows 2000 Server extends Windows NT Server 4.0,
Terminal Server Edition and Windows 2000 Terminal Services with additional
client- and server-side functionality through Citrix’s Independent Computing
Architecture (ICA) in the following key areas:
 Heterogeneous Computing Environments
MetaFrame delivers Windows-based application access to virtually all types
of client hardware, operating platforms, network connections and local area
network (LAN) protocols. As a result, organizations can keep their existing
infrastructure, and deploy the most advanced, 32-bit Windows-based
applications across the network.
 Enterprise Scale Management
Organizations building enterprise computing solutions around Terminal
Services will benefit from the powerful management tools of MetaFrame,
including increased system scalability and simplified support of multiple
applications for thousands of users enterprise-wide. Citrix Program
Neighborhood allows administrators to quickly and easily provide access to
new or updated server-based applications directly to the user without
concern for client configuration. Citrix Load Balancing Services allow
multiple MetaFrame servers to be grouped into a unified “server farm” to
meet the needs of a growing user base. Citrix Resource Management
Services provides extensive audit trail, comprehensive system monitoring,
and the ability to construct detailed billing reports; and Citrix Installation
Management Services automates the application installation process so that
applications may be quickly and easily replicated to Citrix servers across the
enterprise.
 Seamless Desktop Integration
MetaFrame offers an enhanced user experience by providing complete
access to all local system resources such as full 16-bit stereo audio, local
drives, COM ports and local printers. Although applications run remotely
from the server, they look and perform as though they are running locally.
By providing this level of comfort for users, MetaFrame increases user
productivity.

Determining Server Configuration


Slide Objective
To identify factors that affect
server capacity in a
Terminal Services  Evaluating User Characteristics
environment.
 Examining Server System Configurations
Lead-in
There are several factors  Examining Peripheral Devices That Affect Performance
that impact the performance
of a server running Terminal
Services.

Because all application processing takes place on the server, Terminal Services
normally requires more server resources per user than other services such as the
Domain Name System (DNS) and Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP). Ensuring that your server can accommodate your user base is crucial.
To determine the hardware configuration a Terminal server requires to support
users, consider the following factors: user characteristics, server system
configurations, and peripheral devices.

Evaluating User Characteristics


The usage patterns of users can have a significant impact on the performance of
Terminal Services. Most users can be placed in one of three categories:
 Light users. Light users typically run a single application that they use for
data entry (for example, business applications written in Microsoft Visual
Basic®).
 Structured task users. Structured task users run one or two applications at a
time. Structured task users run applications whose data processing demands
on the system are not heavy (for example, a word processor and a browser).
 Advanced users. Advanced users run three or more applications
simultaneously. Advanced users may run applications whose data
processing demands on the system are heavy (for example, detailed queries
on large databases).
12 Module 10: Installing and Configuring Terminal Services

Examining Server System Configurations


Before you install Terminal Services, consider the following system
recommendations:
 File system. It is recommended that you install Terminal Services on a
partition that is formatted with the NTFS file system. NTFS provides
security for users in a multiple session environment who access the same
data structures.
 Server type. It is recommended that you install Terminal Services on a
member server but not on a domain controller. Installing Terminal Services
on a domain controller can hamper the performance of the server because of
the additional memory, network traffic, and processor time that it requires to
perform the tasks of a domain controller.

Generally, a server running Terminal Services requires an additional 10


megabytes (MB) of RAM for each light user and up to 21 MB of RAM for each
power user. Also, processor and memory requirements typically scale linearly.
Doubling the number of processors and doubling the amount of RAM will
allow a Terminal server to support double the number of users.

Tip Purchasing a system that supports multiple processors, even if you initially
purchase only one processor, allows you to add capacity easily as your
requirements grow.

Examining Peripheral Devices That Affect Performance


Peripheral devices can also affect the performance of a server running Terminal
Services:
 Hard disks. Disk speed is critical for Terminal server performance. Small
Key Point computer system interface (SCSI) disk drives have significantly better

throughput than other types of drives. For highest disk performance,
Services must be on the consider using a SCSI RAID controller. RAID (Redundant Array of
Hardware Compatibility List Independent Disks) controllers automatically place data on multiple disks to
(HCL) for Windows 2000. increase disk performance and improve data reliability.
 Network adapter. A high-performance network adapter is recommended,
especially if users require access to data that is stored on network servers.
Using multiple adapters can significantly increase network throughput.
 Multiport asynchronous communication adapter. If a multiport
asynchronous communication adapter is installed for supporting dial-up
users, be sure to use an intelligent (microprocessor-based) adapter to both
reduce interrupt overhead and increase throughput.

Terminal Services requires each device that initiates a Terminal Services


session to be licensed, either with a Windows 2000 license or a Terminal
Services Client Access License. Terminal Services also requires a license
server, which is a computer on which the Terminal Services Licensing service
is enabled.

Guidelines for a License Server


A license server stores all Terminal Services licenses that have been installed
for a group of Terminal servers and tracks the licenses that have been issued.
Terminal Services Licensing allows Terminal Services to obtain and manage its
Client Access Licenses, thus simplifying the task of license management for the
system administrator.
The Terminal Services Licensing service is a component service of Windows
2000 Server, Windows 2000 Advanced Server, and Microsoft Windows 2000
Datacenter Server, and is a separate entity from Terminal Services. Terminal
Services Licensing is used only with Terminal Services in Application Server
mode.
The license server must be discoverable by the Terminal servers. For a
Windows 2000 domain, this means the license server must be deployed on a
domain controller. The Terminal server will discover the license server by
enumerating its domain controllers and checking for Terminal Services
Licensing. For a workgroup, or a Windows NT 4.0 domain, the license server
may be deployed on the Terminal server or any member server. In this scenario,
Terminal servers will locate the available license server through broadcast.
It is also possible to deploy a License server in a Windows 2000 network on a
site basis. This approach, known as the enterprise licensing configuration, can
be selected at installation. It will allow any Terminal servers in the same
physical site to discover the Licensing service, even across domain boundaries.
This configuration does not support discovery from remote sites within the
network.
14 Module 10: Installing and Configuring Terminal Services

There are no hardware requirements for a license server other than those
required to install Windows 2000 Server. Terminal Services Licensing requires
approximately 5 MB of hard disk space per 6000 client licenses issued.
Memory usage is under 10 MB of RAM, whether idle or active.

Note For more information on Terminal Services Licensing, see “Microsoft


Windows 2000 Terminal Services Licensing” under Additional Reading on
the Student Materials compact disc.

Client License Types


The license server manages the following license types:
 Terminal Services Client Access Licenses. These licenses are purchased for
known, non-Windows 2000 devices connecting to a Terminal Server.
 Terminal Services Internet Connector Licenses. This license is used to allow
anonymous use of a Terminal server by non-employees across the Internet
on a concurrent basis.
 Built-in licenses. Clients that are running the Windows 2000 operating
system are automatically licensed as Terminal Services Clients.
 Temporary licenses. When a Terminal server requests a license and the
license server has none to give, it will issue a temporary license. The license
server will track the issuance and expiration of these.

Each client requires one of these licenses to gain access to the Terminal server.
Note that this is in addition to other licenses that might be needed, such as
application licenses, operating system licenses, and any Windows 2000 Server
or Microsoft BackOffice® Client Access Licenses.

You can install Terminal Services on the server during Windows 2000 Server
Setup, or you can install Terminal Services or Terminal Services Licensing
after Setup by using Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel.
When you install Terminal Services by using Add/Remove Programs, you
select either Application server mode or Remote administration mode. The two
main differences between the modes are that there are no licensing requirements
for Remote administration mode, and Remote administration mode only allows
two concurrent connections.
You can install Terminal Services Licensing with Terminal Services or you can
install it by itself on a different computer. When you install Terminal Services
licensing, you specify whether the license server will serve the domain or
workgroup, or the entire forest. Choosing enterprise licensing allows any
Terminal server in the same physical site to use the license server, even across
domain boundaries.

 Use an installation disk or disk set to install Terminal Services Client on the
client.
 Use a shared folder to install Terminal Services Client across the network.

Creating Client Installation Disks


When you install Terminal Services, Windows 2000 includes the Terminal
Services Client Creator administrative tool with which you can create
installation disks for the client software. After the software is installed on the
client, the client will be able to connect to a server running Terminal Services.
To create client installation disks, perform the following steps:
1. In the Administrative Tools menu, open Terminal Services Client Creator.
2. Select the type of Terminal Services Client software that you want to create.
There are two options:
Terminal Services for 16-bit windows (requires 4 disks)
Terminal Services for 32-bit x86 windows (requires 2 disks)
3. Insert a disk into the destination drive.
4. After copying the files to the disks, close the Create Installation Disk
dialog box, or click OK to create more disks.
18 Module 10: Installing and Configuring Terminal Services

Installing Client Software over a Network


The source files for Terminal Services Client are stored in the
systemroot\System32\Clients\Tsclient folder on the Terminal server. The
Tsclient folder contains the Net, Win16, and Win32 subfolders. To enable users
to access Terminal Services Client over the network and install it on their
computers, share the folders for the appropriate platforms. Users can then run
Setup.exe from one of the shared folders.

Installing Terminal Services Client


Before installing Terminal Services Client, ensure that the client computer is
properly configured and connected to the network. To install Terminal Services
Client, perform the following steps:
1. Run Setup.exe.
2. Specify and confirm the user name and the organization.
3. Accept the license agreement.
4. Accept the default folder or specify another destination folder.
5. Specify whether to install client software for all users of the computer or for
only the current user.
Setup copies the appropriate files from the disk or shared folder to the
specified folder on the client.

Establishing a Terminal Session


Slide Objective
To identify the procedures
for establishing and ending
Terminal sessions.  Connecting to a Terminal Server
Lead-in  Ending a Terminal Session
Users begin using Terminal
Services by creating a new
connection.

After the server and client configuration is complete, a user can establish a
Terminal session. The user can access the network and local resources,
including the hard disks and printers, from the client. When ending a session,
the user can either disconnect to rejoin the session later or log off to close the
session completely.

Connecting to a Terminal Server


When users connect to a Terminal server, they can select options to
accommodate slow networks and improve the performance of the session. To
connect to a Terminal server, perform the following steps:
1. Start Terminal Services Client.
The Terminal Services Client dialog box appears. The following table
describes what to do with each option in the dialog box.
For this option Do this

Server Enter the name of a Terminal server or a TCP/IP


address.
Screen area Select a screen resolution. This setting is not
dependent on the screen resolution of the server.
Available servers Select a server from a list of available servers.
Low-speed connection Click Low-speed connection if using a modem, or
if you have a slow network.
Cache bitmaps to disk Click Cache bitmaps to disk to save desktop
display elements to the local cache. This option
will cause the screen to refresh from the local
cache and improve performance.

2. Click Connect.
3. Log on to the Terminal server.
Module 10: Installing and Configuring Terminal Services 23

When a user connects to the Terminal server, the user environment on the client
looks the same as the Windows 2000 Server and Windows 2000 Professional
environments. The fact that the application is not running locally is transparent
to the user. All application processing takes place on the server running
Terminal Services, and the server sends the display to the client.

Ending a Terminal Session


Terminal Services provides two options for users to end a Terminal session:
 Disconnecting from a session. Disconnecting leaves the session running on
the server. The user can reconnect to the server and resume the session. For
example, if a user is performing a time-consuming task on the server, such
as running a query on a database, the user can start the task and disconnect
from the session. Later, the user can log on to the server again, resume the
session, and either resume the task or check results.
 Logging off from a session. Logging off from a session ends the session
running on the server. Any applications running within the session will be
closed and unsaved data will be lost. It is important for users to log off from
a session to make server resources available for new sessions.

30 Module 10: Installing and Configuring Terminal Services

Examining Installation Options


Slide Objective
To describe the issues
related to installing
applications and running  Using Add/Remove Programs
compatibility scripts.
 Using the change user Command
Lead-in
There are two methods for
installing applications on a
Terminal server.

To make an application available for multiple users, application files need to be


copied to a central location on the server.

Note For security purposes, all applications should be installed on an NTFS


partition.

There are two methods that you can use to install applications on a Terminal
server:
 Use Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel.
 Run the change user command at the command prompt before and after
installing the application.

Using Add/Remove Programs


Add/Remove Programs, which automatically runs the change user command,
is the preferred method for installing applications on a Terminal server. To
install a program by using Add/Remove Programs, log on to the Terminal
server as Administrator and close all programs. In Control Panel, double-click
Add/Remove Programs, and then follow the instructions in the wizard.
Module 10: Installing and Configuring Terminal Services 31

Using the change user Command


Use the change user command only when you install an application using a
method other than running a setup program. For example, when Microsoft
Internet Explorer prompts you to install an add-on application, run the change
user command to ensure that the add-on application is installed for multiuser
access.
The change user command performs the following actions:
 Before the application is installed, change user /install places the system in
install mode and turns off .ini file mapping. The system then records how
the Setup application programming interfaces (APIs) initially install the
application.
 After the application is installed, change user /execute returns the system to
execute mode, restores .ini file mapping, and redirects user-specific data to
the user’s home directory. When the user opens the application, user-
specific registry settings are automatically propagated as needed to the
user’s home directory.
32 Module 10: Installing and Configuring Terminal Services

Using Application Compatibility Scripts


Slide Objective
To identify the issues
associated with application
compatibility scripts.  Examining Application Compatibility Scripts
Lead-in  Running Application Compatibility Scripts
Terminal Services includes
application compatibility
scripts to modify popular
applications for use in
Terminal Services.

Terminal Services includes application compatibility scripts for some


applications. These scripts modify applications to function well in a multiuser
environment. The script modifies the global registry settings of the application
and disables functions that could negatively impact system performance. For
example, the Microsoft Office 97 compatibility script disables the FindFast
utility and sets a number of file attributes to read-only to ensure that multiple
users can open files simultaneously.

Examining Application Compatibility Scripts


Many commonly used applications have been tested for compatibility with
Terminal Services. For maximum application performance, some applications
require minor changes to the application installation. Scripts are available for
these applications and must be run after you complete the application
installation. The scripts are located in the systemroot\Application Compatibility
Scripts\Install folder.

Running Application Compatibility Scripts


To run application compatibility scripts, perform the following steps:
1. In the systemroot\Application Compatibility Scripts\Install folder, find the
script for the application that you are installing.
2. Open the file in a text editor such as Notepad.
3. Review the script. If path names and drive letters in the files differ from
those you used during application installation, edit the files to correct the
path information.
4. At a command prompt, run the script for the application.
Module 10: Installing and Configuring Terminal Services 33

The first time an application compatibility script is used, the script checks to see
whether Rootdrv.cmd has been edited. Rootdrv.cmd is a script that maps a drive
letter to the client's home directory. For example, if W:\ is specified as the drive
letter for mapping, W:\ is mapped to %homedrive%%homepath%. By using
this technique, you can specify what appears to be a shared path, such as
W:\mail\mailbox.dat. The drive mapping causes each user to get a unique copy
of the file in their home directory.
The application compatibility script launches Notepad and requires you to type
a drive letter and then save and close the file. The application compatibility
script resumes. Rootdrv.cmd is launched only if you have not already mapped a
drive letter. Rootdrv.cmd stores the final drive mapping information in
Rootdrv2.cmd. If you want to change the drive letter at a later time, you should
complete the following tasks:
 Open Rootdrv2.cmd in Notepad, edit the drive letter, and then save and
close the file.
 Update the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\
Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Terminal Server\RootDrive registry key
with the new drive letter.

Some applications may also require logon scripts. Logon scripts set custom
environmental variables for users. For example, the logon script for Microsoft
Internet Explorer establishes additional support files so users can have access to
personal bookmarks and address books. Logon scripts are located in the
systemroot\Application Compatibility Scripts\Logon folder.
Logon scripts are not executed for users who are logged on until they log off
and log back on again. Many applications do not behave correctly when they
are run before the logon script begins. For this reason, you should install
applications when no users are logged on to the system.
When you upgrade or add components to an existing installation of an
application that has an associated compatibility script, you should rerun the
script.

Note For information about specific script capabilities and how to modify
them for custom installations, refer to the notes within the script for the
application that you are installing.

taught in the module.
 Configuring Terminal Services for Clients
 Establishing a Terminal Session
 Installing Applications on a Terminal Server

1. Your management team does not want to spend the money that is necessary
to upgrade everyone’s desktop computers to new Pentium-class computers
immediately, but they want to install new equipment over the next two
years. They want all users to become familiar with the same user interface
and to be able to use the same suite of applications. They also want to
minimize the need for the technical support staff to visit individual users,
and to enable the staff to show users how to perform tasks in the new
interface. What can you tell the management team about Terminal Services
that would address these issues?
Terminal Services allows you to provide the Windows 2000 interface to
users with a variety of hardware, such as Windows-based terminals,
and older operating systems, such as Windows for Workgroups. Clients
running Terminal Services Client software can access many Windows-
based applications, and the technical support staff can use the remote
control capabilities of Terminal Services to view the Terminal sessions
and guide users through performing tasks with the new Windows 2000
user interface.
38 Module 10: Installing and Configuring Terminal Services

2. You support a network of 100 users with computers that have 386
processors, 486 processors, and Pentium processors. The management team
has decided to upgrade all of the computers to Pentium-class computers
running Windows 2000. Your management team wants to provide access to
the Windows 2000 user interface now so that users will be familiar with the
Windows 2000 desktop environment when Windows 2000 is installed on
their computers. If you were to suggest implementing Terminal Services,
what issues would be involved in planning the Terminal Services
deployment?
You would want to ensure that the management team knew that each
client had to meet the minimum hardware requirements, that the
necessary number of Client Access Licenses were purchased, and that
you identified the software packages that Terminal Services supports.
You would also need to ensure that the Terminal server had sufficient
hardware to support the number of users you expected to access the
server.

3. You have been asked to install Windows 2000 Terminal Services on a test
computer and create the Terminal Services Client software for the
Information Technology (IT) staff to install on their network computers for
testing purposes. How would you install Terminal Services, and what is the
easiest way to provide the IT staff with the client software?
You would install Windows 2000 Terminal Services by using the
Windows Components wizard. You would share the appropriate folders
in systemroot\System32\Clients\Tsclient on the Terminal server and
allow the IT staff to connect to the shared folders to install the Terminal
Services client software.

4. List two methods of making Terminal Services Client available to users.


You can create installation disks or share the folder that contains the
files on the Terminal server.

5. You have five users who are connecting to a Terminal server. All of them
are complaining that each time they connect to the server, the wallpaper and
screensaver settings have changed, and sometimes their data files have been
deleted. How can you resolve these problems?
You can configure the user account properties for each user to point to
a different Terminal Services profile and home directory.
