Difference between Remote Desktop and Remote Desktop for Admin

Duh--I am so used to logging onto the console session on Server 2003 that I
use the console switch on XP without thinking about it.
I never even thought to check if a standard RD session would allow me to use
my running apps on XP pro.

I login via VPN from home to my desktop using remote desktop--makes your
desktop somewhat 'portable' especially if you start a script before you
leave the office and need to check the status from home.

It sounds to me like what you guys are referring to is Remote Desktop, not
Remote Desktop for administration. From what I understand there is a
difference. Unless this (tsmmc.msc /s) is what is referred to as Remote
Desktop For Administration. I know that there is the tsmmc.msc /s type as
well as the mstsc type. Which one of these is considered Remote Desktop for
Admin. I don't think that tsmmc.msc /s is in Windows XP. To be honest you
you I thought that tsmmc.msc /s was the same thing as mstsc but console
based. Does one of these allow for multiple connections but the other
doesn't?

I am studying the Microsoft Press 70-290 and I just want to make sure I
fully understand this subject for the MSCE test and because I want to
actually learn and understand it.

Thanks,
Dave Marden

You use tsmmc.msc so you can simply click the server name in the left
pane--this is available when you install the administrative tools for
windows server 2003 (KB309375). You can use mstsc to connect to only one
server at a time. Check out page 2-12 in your training kit--it's explained
there.

Hi Dave,

Remote Desktop in XP pro is simply a lite version of Remote Desktop for
Administration in Server 2003 that does not allow concurrent connections.


Remote Desktop for Administration overview
Remote Desktop for Administration (formerly known as Terminal Services in
Remote Administration mode) provides remote access to the desktop of
computers running any Microsoft® Windows® Server 2003 family operating
system, allowing you to administer your server from virtually any computer
on your network. For detailed information about using Remote Desktop for
Administration for remote server administration, see Using Remote Desktop
for Administration for remote server administration.

Important

a.. Be aware of the security implications of remote logons. Users who log
on remotely can perform tasks as though they were sitting at the console.
For this reason, you should ensure that the server is behind a firewall. For
more information, see VPN servers and firewall configuration and IPSec
security considerations.
b.. You should require all users who make remote connections to use strong
passwords.
To use Remote Desktop for Administration, you must enable remote connections
at the server you plan to connect to. For more information, see To enable or
disable remote connections.

To connect to Remote Desktop for Administration from a remote computer, use
Remote Desktop Connection. For more information, see Remote Desktop
Connection.

Notes

a.. Remote Desktop for Administration is disabled by default in Windows
Server 2003 family operating systems.
b.. By default, the Remote Desktop Users group is not populated. You must
decide which users and groups you want to have permission to log on
remotely, and then manually add them to the group. For more information, see
Add users to the Remote Desktop Users group.
c.. Remote administration of servers with Remote Desktop for
Administration is available on any computer running a Windows Server 2003
family operating system. A simpler version of Remote Desktop is also
available on Microsoft Microsoft® Windows® XP Professional. For information
on installing and configuring Terminal Server, see Terminal Server.

That page still doesn't tell me which is which, will (tsmmc.msc /s) take me
to remote desktop for administration, or will (mstsc)? I will however say
that using the mstsc seems to let me log on to my server with 2 instances
where I think that the only way of hooking up to tsmmc.msc /s only allow 1
connection and it is from 2003, not XP. I really just need to know which is
which.
