Terminal Services

With Terminal Services technology you can execute Microsoft Windows-based applications on a remote server running Windows 2000 Server or Windows Server 2003 or Windows Server 2008. Terminal Services provides remote access to a server. By leveraging such resources on the server as storage, devices, computing capability, the client can be a PocketPC terminal, Smartphone terminal, or any Windows-based Terminal (WBT) with limited resources and capabilities.

You can gain access to Terminal Services over any TCP/IP connection, such as a dial-up, Ethernet, cable, LAN, wireless networking, or VPN (Virtual Private Networking) connection.

Terminal Services is a standard feature of the Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and Windows Server 2008 operating systems.
