Interesting options in this new client..can't wait to be able to play
around with the server side of things... - Lan

 

Here's the KB - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/925876

 

Remote Desktop Connection 6.0 client update that helps you use the new
Terminal Services features. These features are introduced in Windows
Vista and in the Microsoft Windows Server Code Name "Longhorn" operating
system from a computer that is either running Microsoft Windows Server
2003 with Service Pack 1 (SP1) or Microsoft Windows XP with Service Pack
2 (SP2). 

 


Terminal Services Gateway (TS Gateway) servers


A Terminal Services Gateway (TS Gateway) server is a type of gateway
that enables authorized users to connect to remote computers on a
corporate network. These authorized users can connect from any computer
by using an Internet connection. TS Gateway uses the Remote Desktop
Protocol (RDP) together with the HTTPS protocol to help create a more
secure, encrypted connection. 

However, earlier versions of Remote Desktop Connection cannot connect to
remote computers across firewalls and network address translators. This
behavior occurs because port 3389 is typically blocked to enhance
network security. Port 3389 is the port that is used for Remote Desktop
connections. However, a TS Gateway server uses port 443. Port 443
transmits data through a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) tunnel. 

The advantages of using a TS Gateway server are as follows: 

*

It enables Remote Desktop connections to a corporate network from the
Internet without setting up a virtual private network (VPN) connection.

*

It enables connections to remote computers across firewalls.

*

It helps you share a network connection with other programs that are
running on the computer. This enables you to use the Internet service
provider (ISP) connection instead of the corporate network to send and
receive data over the remote connection. 

To specify a TS Gateway server, follow these steps: 

1.

Start Remote Desktop Connection.

2.

Click Options, click the Advanced tab, and then click Settings.

3.

Click Use these TS Gateway server settings, type the server name in the
Server name box, and then select one of the following logon methods that
are in the Logon methods list: 

*

Allow me to select later
This option lets you select a logon method when you connect.

*

Ask for password
This option prompts you for a password when you connect.

*

Smart card
This option prompts you to insert a smart card when you connect.

4.

Click to select or click to clear the Bypass TS Gateway server for local
addresses check box. By selecting this check box, you prevent the
traffic that is moving to and from local network addresses from being
routed through the TS Gateway server. This makes the connection faster.

TS Remote Programs


TS Remote Programs is a feature of Windows Server Terminal Services that
lets client computers connect to a remote computer and use programs that
are installed on it. For example, a workplace may have a remote computer
to which employees can connect and run Microsoft Word. An administrator
must first publish the programs for end-users to access them. The
experience is the same as running a program that is installed on the
computer. 

TS Remote Programs makes system administration easier because there is
only one copy of a program to upgrade or maintain instead of many copies
that are installed on individual computers.

Monitor spanning


Remote Desktop Connection supports high-resolution displays that can be
spanned across multiple monitors. However, the total resolution on all
monitors must be under 4,096 x 2,048. The monitors must have the same
resolution. Additionally, the monitors must be aligned side-by-side. 

To have the desktop of the remote computer span multiple monitors, type
Mstsc /span at a command prompt.
