Connect to terminal servers

Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Server 2003 with SP1, Windows Server 2003 with SP2

To connect to terminal servers

  1. Open Terminal Services Manager.

  2. Expand the domain containing the servers to which you want to connect.

  3. Do one of the following:

    • To connect to a specific terminal server, right-click the server, and then click Connect.

    • To connect to a computer that is not displayed in the navigation pane of the Remote Desktops snap-in, right-click All Listed Servers, click Connect to Computer, specify a computer name, and then click OK.

Notes

  • To open Terminal Services Manager, click Start, click Control Panel, double-click Administrative Tools, and then double-click Terminal Services Manager.

  • You should connect to only one terminal server at a time. When a server is connected, Terminal Services Manager queries the server for information about its sessions and processes. Connecting to more than one server at a time can overload system resources.

Information about functional differences

  • Your server might function differently based on the version and edition of the operating system that is installed, your account permissions, and your menu settings. For more information, see Viewing Help on the Web.
