Manage Remote Desktop Services

Viele Programme lassen sich auf Terminalserver installieren und betreiben, oft sogar ohne separat Lizenzen aufzurufen. Microsoft bildet mit den Microsoft Office-Produkten eine Ausnahme: Wer Microsoft Office auf dem Terminal Server verwenden möchte, muss eine für Terminalserver geeignete Lizenz von Office erwerben.

Generell gilt: was sich auf einer Windows-Workstation installieren lässt läuft meistens auch auf einem Windows Terminal Server. Sobald allerdings Anwendungen installiert werden sollen, bei denen eine Datenbank benötigt wird, ist von der Installation der Datenbank auf dem Terminalserver abzuraten.

It is recommended that you use Server Manager to enable Remote Desktop Services [Terminal Services]. You must be logged in as an administrator.
