Establishing a Server Environment

 you use the information in this section to configure your RDP session services, be 

sure you have read "Understanding Session Services." 
RDP session services can be made available on the network to allow you to connect 

remotely to a desktop computer running Microsoft Windows NT

®

, Windows 2000, 

Windows 2003, Windows XP Professional, supported versions of Windows Vista, and 

supported versions of Windows 7 or a server running Microsoft

 Server 

4.0, Terminal Server Edition, Windows 2000 Server, Windows 2003 Server, and Windows 

2008 Server. The Remote Desktop Protocol allows a thin client to execute Windows 

applications within a Windows GUI environment, even though they are actually being 

executed on the server.
Use the instructions accompanying these products to install them and make sessions and 

applications available to the thin clients sharing the server environment.

If a Windows 2003/2008 Server is used, a Terminal Services Client Access 

License (TSCAL) server must also reside somewhere accessible on the 

network. The server will grant a temporary (120-day) license on an individual 

device basis. Beyond the temporary (120-day) license, you must purchase 

TSCALs and install them on the TSCAL server (you will not be able to make 

a connection without a temporary or permanent license).

 View Manager is a desktop management solution that enables system 

administrators to provision desktops and control user access. Client software securely 

connects users to centralized virtual desktops, back-end physical systems, or terminal 

servers.

Information on installing and configuring View Manager can be found on the 

VMware Web site at: 

.

View Manager consists of the following major components:
• View Connection Server - a software service that acts as a broker for client 

connections by authenticating and then directing incoming remote desktop user 

requests to the appropriate virtual desktop, physical desktop, or terminal server.

• View Agent - a software service that is installed on all guest virtual machines, physical 

systems, or terminal servers in order to allow them to be managed by View Manager. 

The agent provides features such as RDP connection monitoring, virtual printing, 

remote USB support, and single sign on.

• View Client - a locally installed software application that communicates with View 

Connection Server in order to allow users to connect to their desktops using Microsoft 

Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP).

• View Client with Offline Desktop (experimental) - a version of View Client that is 

extended to support the Offline Desktop feature which allows users to download virtual 

machines and use them on their local systems.
