Features:
Windows NT Server, Terminal Server Edition, consists of three components—the Windows NT Server multiuser core, the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), and the super-thin Windows-based client software. Specifically:
Terminal Server—A multiuser server core that provides the ability to host multiple, simultaneous client sessions on Windows NT Server 4.0 and on future versions of Windows NT Server. Terminal Server is capable of directly hosting compatible multiuser client desktops running on a variety of Windows-based and non–Windows-based hardware. Standard Windows-based applications do not need modification to run on the Terminal Server, and all standard Windows NT–based management infrastructure and technologies can be used to manage the client desktops. In this way, corporations can take advantage of the rich choice of applications and tools offered by todays Windows environment.
Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP)—A key component of Terminal Server is the protocol that allows a super-thin client to communicate with the Terminal Server over the network. This protocol is based on International Telecommunications Unions (ITU) T.120 protocol, an international, standard multichannel conferencing protocol currently used in the Microsoft NetMeeting® conferencing software product. It is tuned for high-bandwidth enterprise environments and will also support encrypted sessions.
Super-Thin Client—The client software that presents, or displays, the familiar 32-bit Windows user interface on a range of desktop hardware:
New Windows-based terminal devices.
System requirements: 32-bit x86 microprocessor (such as Intel Pentium or higher) or Alpha.
VGA or higher-resolution monitor.
One or more hard disks, with 128 MB minimum of free hard disk space on the partition that will contain the Terminal Server system files.
For x86-based computers, a high-density 3.5-inch disk drive plus a CD-ROM drive.
32 MB of RAM, plus 4-8 MB for each typical user who is connecting.
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
