As far as I know its available in WIndows 2000 server edition only.

But its better to try it with WIndows 2003 Standard edition.

I have tried it with Windows 2003 and it works like a charm without any problems.

There is Citrix metaframe also which is another s/w similar to terminal services.

On Linux you have LTSP. visit www.ltsp.org

U can do following:

1.) You can install VNC. It will allow you to do most of the functions of terminal services. it will work with any other computer that has VNC installed.

Alternatively you can install PCAnywhere and set it up via TCP/IP.

2.) You can download msrdpcli.exe from microsoft. This is the XP version of Terminal services and will work on Win 2000.

Vishal i dont need any remote access service. i got better stuff of that

in pc anywhere and all when you access the server pc, the mouse and screen and everything is controlled by the client user

but in terminal services, the client user has a different, independent work area.

OK!

And what about my second !dea?

msrdpcli.exe is just the client for accessing another terminal server

It will work even on Windows 95.

Using terminal services a number of persons can access the server system and use it as their own desktop.

The client need not be a very fast machine. Even a Pentium 100 will do.

I have tried it with my P4 set up as a terminal server and an old P166 accessing it through LAN

There is one ebook available by the name below. I cannot upload it due to the size

Microsoft.Press.Microsoft.Windows.Server.2003.Terminal.Services.eBook-LiB.chm

This is very informative.

boss client is available everywhere.. no issues

its useless unless we got a satisfactory server..

I need to put the terminal services on windows 2000 professional.

if anybody got ideas on doing this or

any other soft which does exactly the same job, let me know.

I am afraid that you will not be able to do it on Windows 2000 Professional.

You can do it on a windows server operating systems only.

Get yourself a copy of WIndows 2003. Even a pirated copy will do...

AVG is a great antivirus and when compared with others like NAV or McAfee it takes less memory and finally its free for personal use!!
