After looking at how to use Remote desktop connection web interfac

[Guest]

I was trying to resolve a problem with RDC and stumbled upon web interface
rdc.

I have a question about the following instruction:

Open Internet Explorer, and enter the URL http://ipaddress:port/tsweb/. For
example, if your IP address is 192.168.1.120, and you chose the TCP Port
1374, you would enter the URL http://192.168.1.120:1374/tsweb/.

I was wondering why the example was using a port other than 3386? Isn't 3386
the port we are trying to reach when rdc is at the default setting?

And I was wondering about the tsweb/ part appended to the ip and port
address. What is that to signify, the computer name?

This seems nice, does it still work today? I haven't seen any dates on the
info I read to know if this is an up to date tool or whether it has been
weeded out.

No - 3389 is the default port.

tsweb stands for Terminal Services Web.. Because you have setup the TSWEB
component - for access to TS clients without having a client installed (a
non-issue if you are using Windows XP or newer Windows OSes.)

You have to have IIS (which you have access to from your earlier post where
you state you have Windows 2003 Server installed) installed and running. It
is merely a component of IIS really.
