The Terminal Services Client of Windows 2000 used to connect to Terminal Services back before XP or Server2003 came out is compatible with it and will work, but you can also download the RD client as well.

Remote Desktop is actually "Terminal Services" in "Administration Mode". This is present on Windows 2000 Server (NOT Pro), WinXP (not Home), Windows 2003. For those that don't have Terminal Services or Remote Desktop, VNC should work splendidly! Good Luck, HTH Smooter On Thu, 17 Feb 2005 22:33:46 +0100, LarsW***@email.com (Lars Willich) wrote:

It's on the MS website - you just need to search for it.Windows 2000 Server can use Terminal Services in Remote Administration
mode. Windows 2000 Professional does not have that capability. You can install the RDP client on anything (www.microsoft.com/rdp). Windows Server 2003 also has TS capabilities but you don't have to install TS, you only need to enable RDP just like you do in XP, under System Properties. Dig? You can install the CLIENT on older windows, get it here:
Download Remote Desktop Connection Software (Allows Older Windows to Connect with Windows XP) http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/tools/rdclientdl.mspx (or go to microsoft.com and search for "remote desktop",client) I don't know about running the server on older windows. I wouldn't think so since it needs terminal services under it to run.

However, Windows 2000
Server does have Terminal Services in Remote Administration mode, which acts much like Remote Desktop. --- Jeffrey Randow (Network MVP) Remote Networking Technology FAQ - http://www.remotenetworktechnology.com My Networking Blog: http://www.networkblog.net MS Network Community - http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/community/centers/networking/default.mspx MS Home Networking Community - http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/communities/wireless.mspx On Thu, 17 Feb 2005 22:33:46 +0100, LarsW***@email.com (Lars Willich) wrote: Show quote >As far as I know the Remote Desktop feature is only built-in in WinXP. >But can I add the Remote Desktop feature/tool for Windows 2000 as well >(either as a client or as a server)? >Where can I download it? > >Lars Just as an addition to my last post, you could use a tool like VNC

I posted this yesterday....but it didn't show up! In any case, "remote desktop" is actually included with Windows 200 server, but it is called "Terminal Services in Administration Mode". Add a new Windows Component, select Terminal Services. When the install continues, it will pop up and as you if you want "Administration Mode, or Application Server mode. You want the former. It will support 2 simultaneous connections to the desktop (console is counted as one if it is logged in). Remote Desktop is NOT available in Win2000 Pro. HTH, Smooter Lars Willich wrote:

I can then manipulate their computer just like I was sitting in front of it. I do have to run a version of the program in the background on each computer, but for me that is not an issue. I currently have 19 computers on my home network.  |
