Remote Desktop Services (formerly known as Terminal Services) provides functionality similar to a terminal-based, centralized host, or mainframe, environment in which multiple terminals connect to a host computer. Each terminal provides a conduit for input & output between a user & the host computer. A user can log on at a terminal, & then run applications on the host computer, accessing files, databases, network resources, & so on. Each terminal session is independent, with the host operating system managing conflicts between multiple users contending for shared resources. The primary difference between Remote Desktop Services & the traditional mainframe environment is that the dumb terminals in a mainframe environment only provide character-based input & output. A Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) client or emulator provides a complete graphical user interface including a Windows operating system desktop & support for a variety of input devices, such as a keyboard & mouse. In the Remote Desktop Services environment, an application runs entirely on the Remote Desktop Session Host (RD Session Host) server (formerly known as a terminal server). The RDC client performs no local processing of application software. The server transmits the graphical user interface to the client. The client transmits the users input back to the server. ...
