How To Configure Terminal Services for Remote Administration Mode in Windows 2000

Installing Terminal Services
You can install Terminal Services in two modes: Application Server mode and Remote Administration mode. Application Server mode is used for thin-client environments in which users have lightweight PCs and run programs remotely on the server instead of locally. Application Server mode requires a license for each connected user.

Remote Administration mode allows two low-resource simultaneous connections that are ideally suited for remote administration. No additional licenses are necessary, and the limit cannot be increased. This document describes Remote Administration mode.

To Install Terminal Services
Insert the Windows 2000 Server CD-ROM into the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive.
If a dialog box appears automatically after you insert the CD-ROM, click Install Add-on Components. If no dialog box appears, click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel. Double-click Add/Remove Programs, and then click Add/Remove Windows Components.
In the list of components, click to select the Terminal Services check box.
Click to clear the Terminal Services Licensing check box if it is selected. You do not need this service for Remote Administration mode. Click Next.
Click Remote Administration Mode, and then click Next.
The Terminal Services Wizard runs and installs Terminal Services. Close the wizard when it is finished, and then reboot your computer if you are prompted to do so.
