Managed Entities Terminal Server less server, more sessions TS Licensing TS CALs that are required for each device or user to connect to a terminal server. You use TS Licensing to install, issue, and track the availability of TS CALs on a Terminal Services license server. TS Gateway Enables authorized remote users to connect to resources on an internal corporate or private network, from any Internet-connected device that can run the Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) client. The network resources can be terminal servers, terminal servers running Terminal Services RemoteApp programs, or computers with Remote Desktop enabled.

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: TS Session Broker was formerly called Terminal Services Session Directory. TS Web Access Users visit a Web site (internet or) to access a list of available TS RemoteApp programs. To start a RemoteApp program, users just click the program icon. When the RemoteApp program starts, a Terminal Services session is started on the terminal server that hosts the RemoteApp program.
