  1. Windows Server 2003Terminal Server

  2. Windows Terminal ServerRapid access to data and applications from anywhere Knowledge Workers Windows 2000, XP TaskWorkers Business Partners SmartDevices Windows NT, 9x VPN xDSL/Cable Dial-up Wireless LAN Applications ThinClients UNIX/Mac WANs LAN Data Faster application performance over constrained network connections Centralized access to Windows-based applications 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?

  5. TS Geographic Consolidation Data Center SQL • 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

  6. Summary: Comparison to previous versions New New New New New New New New

  7. Improvements to Terminal Server in Windows Server 2003Goal: 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)
