Microsoft Windows 2000 Terminal Server

Windows 2000 Terminal Services is an integral part of Windows 2000 technology that delivers the Windows graphical user interface through a server-based computing model. Windows 2000 Terminal Services is a strategic technology that can lower total cost of ownership and provide access to Windows-based applications to desktops that cannot run the Windows 2000 operating system. With the integration of Windows 2000 Terminal Services into the core server operating system, customers can now choose to deploy the latest Windows-based applications in a fully server-centric mode, where applications run entirely on the server. When Terminal Services is enabled on Windows 2000 Server, administrators do not have to install Windows-based 32-bit applications on each desktop computer. Instead, the application is installed once on the server, and the clients automatically have access to the new or upgraded software package through terminal emulation.
