Terminal Services Extends Multiuser Capabilities of Windows 2000 Server
In addition to providing a means to serve Windows-based applications to terminals and other thin client devices, Terminal Services extends the multiuser capacity of the Windows 2000 Server and Windows NT Server 4.0 operating system family. Of course, Windows 2000 Server and Windows NT Sever 4.0 are inherently multiuser-capable in the following ways:
User profiles stored on the server allow numerous users to see their own desktop preferences and settings and run various applications when they log on. Application features and behavior can be controlled by user profiles.
Security policies control file access rights and permissions for both local and remote client users.
Operating system interfaces allow simultaneous sessions in which users safely access common files and databases stored on file servers throughout a distributed network.
The Terminal Services technology goes beyond the client/server multiuser services listed above, which are an integral part of the Windows 2000 Server and Windows NT Server 4.0 operating system family. The Terminal Services architecture allows users and applications to share hardware and software resources commonly found on a Windows 2000 Professional or Windows NT-based clients in the traditional two or three-tiered client/server architecture. These resources, which instead are shared on the server, include use of a central CPU, memory, and storage, as well as operating system resources such as the registry and other data structures. Developers of applications written for Windows-based desktops can use the information in this white paper optimize their applications to run under Terminal Services.
