Best way to log on with Terminal Server 2008 and SBS 2003.
Hi, currently we have 7 users, the PC is getting old. THey log on SBS 2003. What i want to do is setup Terminal Server 2008 and use the TS server as their desktop. Runnign accounting and outlook.
Their documents is on the SBS server as well.
How would i go about when it comes to login on. Do they log onto the SBS and TS or log on to TS and from there log onto SBS? How would I go about doing the second option?
Thanks in advance.

You need to install terminal sevices on the 2008 machine. You clients will then connect to the 2008 TS Server and access the 2003 domain from there.

How do they access 2003 domain?? Through RDP? Is there a link that i can go to. Done some search and haven't really found anything i want.
They run a session on the Terminal Server and the session accesses the domain in the same way as any other machine on the domain. They are effectivly using connecting from the terminal server think of it as a virtual machine on the domain thst connects th the domain as any local machine would. Their own machine is simply replicating the screen/keyboard.
As your in a server enviroment, the terminal server will be connected to the sbs server over the domain. You will need to have network shares etc in place to connect over to the SBS server. Using group policy to apply the setting etc.

Sorry guys, this is my first time setting up a TS server and a big newbie.
Can you guys explain in more details?

When you set up Terminal server it effectivly mimics a number of workstations on your domian.
A remote users connects to the Terminal Server
When they log on, then the termianlk server opens up a session and logs onto the domain.
Its just like the user has logged on to any workstation in the domain, the users machine simply replicates the screen/keyboard/mouse so that the user can conect remotely to the Terminal Server

Would i need to disconnect all the PC from the domain and get them to log on their PC localy and from there on log onto the TS server??

This is my second question and first time giving points. I would like to give points to RobWill and KCTS. I would like to be fair on the points.
What would be recommended points?? Be honest =D

Hi Mistah_K. That is your decision. The points really have little value as they are worth $0 on any market :-)
It is always nice to be recognized, but how you split them is of little importance. Whatever suggestions you feel helped your situation the most should determine how you assign the points.
