Description
The Terminal Services Management Pack helps you manage your computers running Terminal Services on Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2003, or Windows 2000 Server by monitoring the health of the Terminal Services with the help of server role services.
Feature Summary
Terminal servers running Windows 2000 Server use the following role services:
- Terminal Server: With the Terminal Server role service, a server can host Microsoft Windows–based programs or the full Windows desktop. Users can connect to a terminal server to run programs, to save files, and to use network resources on that server.
- TS Licensing: Terminal Services Licensing (TS Licensing) manages the Terminal Services client access licenses (TS CALs) that are required for each device or user to connect to a terminal server. You use TS Licensing to install, issue, and monitor the availability of TS CALs on a Terminal Services license server.
Windows Server 2003 adds the following role service:
- Session Directory: The Terminal Services Session Directory service tracks sessions on terminal servers running Windows Server 2003 and ensures that client computers connect to their existing sessions.
The following additional role services are used in conjunction with Windows Server 2008:
- TS Web Access: With Terminal Services Web Access (TS Web Access), users can access RemoteApp programs and a Remote Desktop connection to the terminal server through a Web site. TS Web Access also includes Remote Desktop Web Connection, with which users can remotely connect to any computer where they have Remote Desktop access.
- TS Gateway: With Terminal Services Gateway (TS Gateway), authorized remote users can connect to resources on an internal corporate network from any Internet-connected device that can run the Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) client.
- TS Session Broker: Terminal Services Session Broker (TS Session Broker) supports session load balancing between terminal servers in a farm and reconnection to an existing session in a load-balanced terminal server farm.
Note:
- In Windows Server 2008, the name of the Terminal Services Session Directory feature was changed to Terminal Services Session Broker (TS Session Broker).
- When there is problem with the availability or performance of one of these components, Microsoft System Center Operations Manager 2007 uses the Terminal Services Management Pack to detect the issue and alert you so that you can diagnose the problem and fix it.
