Book Description
This book is not authorized or approved by
Microsoft, Citrix, or anyone else! Instead of vendor marketing speak, this book tells you how Terminal Server actually works. This book is not an administrators guide. Rather, its written for IT consultants, system engineers, and architects who must plan, design, implement, and optimize Windows 2003-based Terminal Server systems. It's filled with real-world, proven strategies created specifically for Windows Server 2003. See how some of the world's largest companies are using pure Terminal Server 2003 environments.
- Are you thinking about using Windows Server 2003's Terminal Services capabilities?
- Do you want to use it for a few users, or do you want to use it on a greater scale?
- Are you wondering whether you need to use Citrix MetaFrame or Tarantella New Moon, or if you can use Terminal Server by itself?
- If youre wondering whether Terminal Services will work for you, spend 50 bucks on this book before spending thousands of dollars on licenses.

Reader Reviews
I have found this book to be very informative and helpful. It goes quite in depth on subjects related to terminal services and terminal server licensing. It also gives great ideas on how to make everything "work together". The one major flaw with the book is the editing and proofing. I don't recall ever reading a book, technical or not, and finding so many obvious spelling errors, sometimes 4 and 5 errors in a single paragraph. In a technical book spelling should not be an issue - it undermines the feeling of trust for a book. I cross-checked much of the content where I wanted to be sure and found it to be quite accurate, but it is still disturbing to see that frequency of errors and my 3 star rating reflects this.
