Remote Desktop Connection for Windows 2000 Server

[rstroud]

Is there any way I can set up a remote desktop connection in Windows 2000 server? I need to be able to connect from Windows XP.

in short: yes

just remember to dont install the licensing server and choose that each client must have its own licens.

then you have set it in administration mode and two administrators can connect at the same time.

you add the terminal server true add remove windows components.

cant find my win 2000 server book and we just upgraded to win 2003 server ? i cant help you any more whit the spesific path

Not using a strong password?

Exactly what PsychCom said. This is what terminal servers administrator mode is exactly for.

i just rememberd. if you set up IIS on the server, you can use remote desktop true youre browser. as long as it supports active x..

other than active x, no other plugin or program is innstaled on youre computer..

I'm logging in using my WinXP Pro to the Terminal on Win2000 Server. It works just perfectly!
