Time: 14:27 EST/19:27 GMT | News Source: Microsoft | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum

Welcome to Day Fifteen of our series on Windows Server 2008. There's only twelve more days until Launch Day. Today we will be continuing on with Terminal Services, specifically the Management and Administration components.

There are several tools and methods that can be used to configure Terminal Services configuration, user settings, connections and sessions - you may already be familiar with some of them:

Terminal Services Manager
Terminal Services Configuration Tool
Terminal Services Command Line Tools
Terminal Services Group Policies
Terminal Services WMI Provider
Terminal Services extension to Local Users and Groups
Active Directory Users and Computers

Additionally, connections settings that are not configured at the group, computer or user level can be set in the Remote Desktop Client application on a per-session basis.
