Setting up a terminal server in Windows operating systems has its own characteristics and differences from the installation process in Linux or MacOs. Please note that it is better not to perform self-configuration for the first time.
Necessary
- - Windows 2003 OS;
- - a network of terminals.
Instructions
Step 1
Log into the computer with an account that has system administrator rights. It is worth setting up a terminal network before installing any other software.
Step 2
Start managing this server, in the menu that opens, select create a new role. Select Terminal Server in the dialog box, and then proceed to install Windows 2003 by inserting the disc into the drive and performing the necessary operations. Wait for your computer to restart.
Step 3
Install the licensing server. It is best to do this right away, since 120 days are given to complete this operation, users simply forget about this aspect. In the Windows Components Installation menu in Add or Remove Programs, run the Component Wizard, in which select the Terminal Server Licensing check box.
Step 4
Through the control panel menu, go to "Administration", select the "Terminal Server Licensing" menu, and in it go to the "Actions" item. Select activation, and after completing the actions required by the system, click Next. Specify the license type and details in the next configuration window that appears. Also, do not forget to indicate the number of licenses. Proceed to configuring the server you installed.
Step 5
In the "Configure Terminal Services" menu in Computer Administration, open the properties of the RDP-tcp connection. In the window that opens, go to general settings and set the security level. If you are going to change it, use also the item "Coordination".
Step 6
On the remote control tab, uncheck the option to request user permission, and then select interact with this session. On the permissions tab, define the access rights and create user groups.
