Demonstration: Configuring Start Program on Connection Restricting Remote Connection Sessions

Configuring Other TS Settings

Demonstration: Configuring Start Program on Connection

In this demonstration, you will see how to configure a program to display as the first program when a TS session starts

Restricting Remote Connection Sessions

Restricting the number of simultaneous connections:
Conserves system resources and ensures system performance Minimizes the number of sessions to be created on the TS

Configuring Other TS Settings

You can: Delete or retain temporary folders Modify default permissions for built-in accounts Configure session broker settings Specify the TS licensing mode

Lab Scenario
Overarching Scenario You are the Windows Application Platform Services technology specialist for Woodgrove Bank, which has a presence in America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa (EMEA), and Asia. Woodgrove Bank's information technology (IT) department is responsible for maintaining the database, application, user authentication, Group Policy, and permissions. It is also responsible for the performance of the server and enterprise infrastructure.

Currently, you are using simple RDP or any third party utility to control the remote console. You install all programs on all client computers, which is time consuming. It is also difficult to maintain and upgrade all the applications on every individual machine. Therefore, the management has advised you to implement the Windows Server 2008 TS environment. Installing TS would increase productivity and ensure optimal utilization of the network bandwidth to access remote applications. As a technology specialist in Woodgrove Banks IT department, you have been tasked with installing and configuring the TS environment.

Lab Review
When installing a new server role, you notice that the

Terminal Services check box is selected and dimmed in the Server Manager. Which option will enable you to add the new server role on TS? programs are still running, what steps will you take to finish the installation process? will enable you to make a drive available for redirection later?

During installation, if you get a message that other

You have configured PnP devices redirection. Which option
