Converting PC to Winterm

Hi all,

I am working with a school that has a bunch of old PCs (5-8 years old), running Win98 and even Win95. Like everyone else, their budget is tight so replacing them is a tough battle.

I was thinking however, that I have a server that I can use as a terminal server and perhaps I can find a way to turn those clunkers into winterm, or thin clients.

Does anyone have suggestions if this is possible and how to do it? I simply want to use the PCs to run off the terminal server...

thanks

Nate

it's possible.
I am running a server farm my self.

here's how to start:

but you need to make sure that or application can be run on a TS basicly they need to have a windows 2000 and 2003 certify logo. or contact the software vendors to see if they support the software on a TS or have tools available like regmon and regfile (or others) to be able to adjust the programs to a TS environment accordingly.
