1. James O’Neill : Microsoft UK http://blogs.technet.com/jamesone Windows Server 2008 Terminal Services

2. What are we going to cover ? Because Terminal Services isn’t new, is it ? Device Support Display Changes True Type Single Sign-on Server Roles Remote App TS Web- Access TS Gateway Session Broker

3. Windows Server Virtualization Server Virtualization Presentation Virtualization Application Virtualization Desktop Virtualization Management Server 2008 Virtualization Technologies

4. Making Terminal Services a first class citizen Support for Client side improvements

5. Device support Can use client’s AudioPrinterClipboard Smart Card Serial port Drives Camera / MP3 player

6. RDC display changes Display improvements Display was 4:3 and capped at 1600x1200 Now can be any size, including spanned monitors ClearType supported Vista-style desktop experience supported Display prioritization Print jobs don’t affect user experience

7. Experience options (off vs. on)

8. Single sign-on Requires Vista or Server 2008 as the client Group Policy setting /Computer Configuration /Administrative Templates /System /Credentials Delegation. In “Allow Delegating Default Credentials” Add termsrv/Servername

9. Server Changes

10. Terminal Services Roles

11. TS Remote App

12. Client sees an application not a desktop Applications identified at the server Published in one of 3 ways.MSI file.RDP file TS Web access

13. TS Remote App Manage Apps Manage Config Manage Sessions Add app. Connection settings Copy apps Create Install files

14. TS Remote App Demo

15. Making available apps browsable TS Web access

16. TS Web Access Can embed TS client object on web page Since NT 4.0 !! Now have ability to launch apps or desktop Pull down RDP file from web page Run normal client

17. TS Web Access Demo

19. Moving from servers to farms TS Session broker

20. TS Session Broker Load balances sessions to terminal servers Basic operation User connects to a terminal server Server knows it is in a farm Server asks broker “where should this go ?” User session is re-directed

21. Broker’s decision process Does this user have a session ? Reconnecting an open session Second TS App session If so connect to the same server Does the server participate in load balancing ? If not let it have the session Otherwise, which servers allow new sessions ? Calculate sessions / relative weight Connect to server with lowest relative load

22. Server roles in a farm Broker Tracks sessions Redirector All servers which users initially connect to Connection might be round robin DNS or more sophisticated Terminal server Runs the user’s workload

23. Configuring Farm membership Group Policy Or TS configuration

24. Or “VPN considered harmful” TS Gateway

25. Tunnel RDP using “RPC over HTTP” technology Allow client to connect from anywhere

26. Adds Additional roles...

27. ConfigurationClient Setting in Group policy, or per connection Server Install role Choose a Certificate Set a Connection Access policy Who and How Set a Resource Access Policy What Multiple Servers can form farms Publish with ISA...

28. TS Gateway Demo

29. Combining Web Access with gateway The Apps on offer in Web access can specify the gateway (And can specify the TS Farm) (And can specify the TS Farm) So publish the Web Access page and publish the gateway.... Users get a portal of published LOB apps Accessible from wherever they are

30. Conclusions Publish Apps: not desktops Better client experience Multiple publication options Anywhere Access Access Mail, IM anywhere, why not L.o.B apps ? Scale with server farms Third parties (e.g. Citrix) still add value
