Hi,

The built-in Terminal Server of windows 2000 Server has a limit of 256 Colors. With Windows 2003 Server that limit is no longer there. Can I install the Terminal Server Host of Windows 2003 on a Windows 2000 Server so that I can utilize the higher color depth (I don't want to use Windows 2003 Server itself)? If this is possible, which files of Windows 2003 Server do I need to install, and could someone provide me with those files, or direct me to a place where I can download these files?

Thanks, Markus

??, are you sure there is color limit on W2K terminal server? I used it all the time. Check your Video card setting, make sure the display setting is not set at 256 colors.

Yes of course, it is limited to 256 colors. If your using citrix, then your better off.

in w2k ts server, client ts connections are limited to 256 colors only. but check with ms if there is work around for this. I'm sure they will answer it a product design (speculations only.)

M$ wants to sell the new software, so they won't want to help tweak something old
