Terminal Services in Windows Server 2008 is the biggest release of Terminal Services since Windows NT. Although I did not get to attend in depth sessions at Launch, here are the bullet points:
Emphasizes
- Remote Worker Efficiency
- Secure Data Applications (RDP is more Secure than VPN’s which allow connection to the internal network)
- Application Deployment can be accelerated (all apps instantly available to all users)
Applications now launch as though local to the user. The UI experience is vastly improved.
Printing now uses Universal Print, a new print component of Terminal Services.
- click Print
- document rendered as XPS
- sent to Server as XPS
- Printed and returned to Client as XPS
- converted (at client) back to Print for local printing
