Web based Terminal Applications/Client

[samuel berry]

I am looking to teach myself how Terminal Services works
on a Windows 2000 Server. I found an Active X control
from the Windows 2003 Admin pak that is a web based
control. My question is:

Can somebody point me in the right direction on how to
setup and deploy Terminal Services so that the clients
will be using a web browser as a client?

Thanks in advance

Go to Microsoft web site and search for "tsweb" on their download page.
Download and setup the tsweb on your web server (any web server). Note that
it only work with Microsoft Internet Explorer running in Windows OS. If you
need cross platform solution, Citrix maybe the answer.

Thanks for your answer. Question now is: Can you use the
Citrix client (which is free) for connecting to a Windows
Terminal Server?

Thanks,

Thanks for the imput. I looked at the webpage and it says
that it can only be used with Windows XP. I am trying to
do this in a Windows 2000 Server/Professional environment.
Anymore suggestions?

Thanks,

Nope...it can be used with any OS.

"This software package will install the client portion of
Remote Desktop on any of the following operating systems:
Windows 95, Windows 98 and 98 Second Edition, Windows Me,
Windows NT® 4.0, or Windows 2000"
