Terminal Services is built into the Windows operating system so that users can access company data that exists in a remote location. Essentially, Terminal Services makes it so that most, if not all, of your company's data exists in one location that can be accessed by users wherever they are, saving Windows administrators from the headaches that come with managing dozens, hundreds or even thousands of fat client network endpoints floating around.
Built in conjunction with the IT Knowledge Exchange, this Terminal Services tutorial is designed to make data and server management easier for you and your staff. Learn how to troubleshoot Terminal Services, manage end users and roaming network endpoints, Terminal Services licensing and more.
