Adding Terminal Service server

by bsit1 . Updated 17 years ago

I manage a SBS2003 system. They have been using RDP for a couple of remote connections using the built in 2 connections available. Now they need to expand. They have another server I will use and it has Server2003 and they have a 5 User Cal TS license from a previous life. I have never set one of these up. I need some tips.

The current SBS server has all the apps on it. I will install the TS licenses on this box. I will setup the Server 2003 box as a Terminal Services Server. The SBS server has two NICS so it connects to the internet and LAN.
1/ When I setup the TS server do I just put it on the LAN and the SBS server will direct remote connections to the TS box?
I plan to put Office on the TS box. The only other app required will remain on the SBS server but it can easily be setup for the TS server so I know about that part. Currently the RDP printing works fine on the SBS server.
2/ When I set up the TS server do I need to put the remote printer drivers on the TS server?
As you can see I don’t know much and the documents I have read don’t explain much about this. There is no info about the physical setup for LAN and Internet connections and other stuff, like about which servers connect to what etc.
Any extra practical info or references to practical setup manuals/documents etc would be greatly appreciated I need to try this this coming weekend, I’ll up late reading I think. Anything on security setups for both servers too.

All help appreciated greatly.

thanks in advance
Barry
