1. Terminal Services

2.  Allows end user application to be used on different clients connected via a network applications are executed on the server  Terminal server is a computer on which several users can work simultaneously while their screen can be displayed remotely  A technology that enables remote users to establish interactive sessions—both desktop sessions and application sessions—on a computer running Windows Server 2008.  Benefits  Time and Money

3. Development of Terminal Services  Edward Lacobucci had been working with IBM trying to develop a multi-user version of OS/2  Ed Founded Citrix during late 80’s  The First version of Windows NT was launched in May 1993  Windows NT was not based on DOS, it was completely new 32 bit operating system  Microsoft was not interested in equipping its high-end OS with multiple user features like UNIX  In 1994 Microsoft granted Citrix access to the NT source code to develop and market a multi user expansion  The expansion was named WinFrame and quite successful  Microsoft launched Windows NT4.0 Server, Terminal Server Edition code name HYDRA  Windows 2000 Terminal services included the option of using the clients printer and clipboards from the server

4. Terminal Services  How it works?  Applications run on the server and render their output there  Server composes the screen  Instead of being sent to the physical display adapter, the server routes the screen to the Terminal Services subsystem  The screen pixel data is broken apart, wrapped in RDP or ICA, compressed, encrypted, and sent to the client device.

5. A Single server behaves like multiple workstations Terminal Services

6. Terminal Service Benefits  Providing a virtual desktop experience  Terminal Services clients are available for many different desktop platforms including Microsoft MS-DOS, Windows-based terminals, Macintosh  A Web-based version of the Terminal Services client (Remote Desktop Web Connection) provides Terminal Services connectivity to computers with Web access and an Internet Explorer browser.  Centralized deployment of programs - all program execution, data processing, and data storage occur on the server, centralizing the deployment of programs.  Ensures that all clients can access the same version of a program

TS RemoteApp Enhancing the application experience Enables Terminal Services applications to run seamlessly on the end-user desktop  Enables Terminal Services applications to run in individual windows on the user’s desktop  Includes notification icons in the notification area on the client computer

10. Current Environment Accessing terminal servers—challenges Terminal servers can be accessed only from within the internal corporate network Remote users must first establish a virtual private network (VPN) connection to the internal network  VPN connection requires an appropriately configured computer

11. Terminal Services Gateway A Web server component Provides the following functionalities  Acts as the endpoint of an SSL connection  Performs authentication and authorization of the connecting user  Forwards the user’s connection to a resource by using Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) Requires Terminal Services client (TSClient) version 6.0

17. Connection Authorization Policies - TS CAP TS Gateway provides access to RDP resources from outside the corporate network, and includes the following new features to simplify administration and enhance security. TS CAPs Terminal Services connection authorization policies (TS CAPs) allow you to specify user groups, and optionally client computer groups, that can access a TS Gateway server.

18. TS CAP Why are TS CAPs important? TS CAPs allow you to specify who can connect to a TS Gateway server. You can specify a user group that exists on the local TS Gateway server or in Active Directory Domain Services. You can also specify other conditions that users must meet to access a TS Gateway server. You can list specific conditions. For example, you might require a user to use a smart card to connect through TS Gateway. Users are granted access to a TS Gateway server if they meet the conditions specified in the TS CAP.

19. Resource Authorization Policy (TS RAP) A TS RAP allows you to specify the internal network resources that users can connect to through TS Gateway. Until you create both a TS CAP and a TS RAP, users cannot connect to internal network resources through this TS Gateway server.

20. RemoteApp programs  RemoteApp programs are programs that are accessed remotely through Terminal Services and appear as if they are running on the end user's local  In Windows Server 2008, users can access RemoteApp programs in several ways  Access a link to the program on a Web site by using TS Web Access.  Double-click a Remote Desktop Protocol (.rdp) file that has been created and distributed by their administrator.  Double-click a program icon on their desktop or Start menu that has been created and distributed by their administrator with a Windows Installer (.msi) package.

22. The Distributed File System (DFS) In Windows Server® 2008, DFS is implemented as a role service of the File Services role. The Distributed File System role service consists of two child role services:  DFS Namespaces  DFS Replication

23. DFS Namespace DFS Namespaces enables you to group shared folders located on different servers by transparently connecting them to one or more namespaces. A namespace is a virtual view of shared folders in an organization

24. DFS Namespace server.  A namespace server hosts a namespace.  The namespace server can be a member server or a domain controller. Namespace root.  The root is the starting point of the namespace.  In the previous figure, the name of the root is Public, and the namespace path is \\Contoso\Public.\\Contoso\Public  This type of namespace is known as a domain-based namespace, because it begins with a domain name Folder.  Folders help build the namespace hierarchy.  Folders can optionally have folder targets Folder targets.  A folder target is a UNC path of a shared folder
