Windows 2000 Terminal Services is a technology that lets you remotely execute applications on a Windows 2000-based server from a wide range of devices over virtually any type of network connection. With the integration of Windows 2000 Terminal Services into the core server operating system, you can choose to deploy the latest Windows-based applications in a fully server-centric mode, where applications run entirely on the server. When Terminal Services is enabled on Windows 2000 Server, administrators do not have to install Windows-based 32-bit applications on each desktop computer. Instead, the application is installed once on the server, and the clients automatically have access to the new or upgraded software package through Terminal Services Client software.
