Configuring the Remote Desktop Connection session services

Remote Desktop Connection is a network protocol that provides a graphical interface to connect to another computer over a network connection.

To install the software, use the instructions accompanying them. Make sessions and applications available to the thin client devices sharing the server environment.

  • NOTE: If you use a Windows 2003/2008 Server or with Windows Server 2008, a Terminal Services Client Access License (TSCAL) server must also be accessible on the network. The server grants a temporary license, which expires after 120 days. After the temporary license expires, purchase and install the TSCALs on the server. You cannot make a connection without a temporary or permanent license.
To configure a Remote Desktop Connection:
  1. Log in as a user or administrator.
  2. From the Start menu, click Remote Desktop Connection , or double-click the Remote Desktop Connection icon on the desktop. The Remote Desktop Connection window is displayed.
  3. In the Computer box, enter the computer or the domain name.

      • Select the color quality of your preference for your remote desktop from the drop-down list.

      • Select or clear the Display the connection bar when I use the full screen check box to display or hide the connection bar in full screen mode.

    3. In the Local Resources tab configure audio, keyboard, or local devices and resources for your remote desktop.
      • In the Remote audio section, click Settings for advanced audio settings options.

      • NOTE:

        If you find that the Unified Write Filter cache is filling up, you can disable Bitmap caching in the Experience tab after clicking Show Options in the window.

    5. In the Advanced tab, select the action to be taken when the server authentication fails and configure settings for connection through Remote Gateway.

  4. Click Connect.
