Is Terminal Services available in Windows Small Business Server 2003

  • Article

 

On a Microsoft Windows Small Business Server 2003-based computer, Terminal Services is only configured to use the Remote Desktop for Administration mode.

Terminal Server is available on the Standard, Enterprise, and Datacenter editions of Windows Server 2003. Unfortunately this is not the case for Windows Small Business Server 2003, just the Remote Desktop for Administration mode is available. Only this mode is available because Windows Small Business Server 2003 always runs on a domain controller, and if you run Terminal Server on a domain controller, you may risk the safety of the server and the safety of your organisation's sensitive data.

To deploy Terminal Server on your Windows Small Business Server 2003-based network, you must install an additional Windows Server 2003-based computer.
