"Terminal + Remote Desktop Connection", this is mainly used for network administrators on their own fixed workstations to manage the server a way, fast, secure, and sitting in front of the server almost no difference. The implementation method is as follows:

1 in Windows Server 2003, enter Add/Remove Programs from Control Panel, click the Add/Remove Windows Components button, add Terminal Server and Terminal Server Licensing from the Windows Components Wizard dialog box, and install by default. After the installation is complete, restart the server.

2 run the Terminal Server Licensing program from the Administrative Tools, right-click the computer name, select Activate server from the menu that appears, and follow the steps to activate the Terminal server.

Tip: If an administrator uses the computer's operating system as Windows XP Professional, you can proceed to step 5th without having to do the 3rd, 4 steps below.

3 Copy the Remote Desktop Connection Setup program in the%systemroot%\system32\clients\tsclient\win32 directory of Windows Server 2003 computers to your network administrator's workstation. or run Setup directly from a shared way. Where%systemroot% is the system directory where Windows Server 2003 is installed, and Windows is the default.

4 If you are installing the Remote Desktop Connection program on a Windows 98 computer, you will need to restart it before the formal installation. If you are using a Windows XP Professional computer for administration, you do not have to install it.

Then, when you choose to go to the Display tab, at the slider under Remote Desktop size, you can change the size of the managed window, recommending "full screen" or "800x600" (if the current resolution is 1024x768).
