XP as a terminal server

[Harrison Midkiff]

Hello:

I was told that you could run Terminal Server on a XP client much like you
can run XP on a W2K server for remote administration. Does anyone know how
to install this?

Thanks.

You may remotely use the console on a Windows XP machine.
see the Help and Support for Remote Desktop

It does not provide multi user functionality like a real Windows Server 2003
or Windows 2000 Server running with Terminal Services installed.

You can install it on XP Pro. http://support.microsoft.com/?id=315328 It's
not like Terminal Services on a server though, in that you cannot have
multiple sessions - not even the five for administration. It only allows
one session. If you are currently logged on to your computer and you remote
desktop onto it, you have to either log in as yourself to pick up your
active session, or log on as someone else at which time your active session
will be terminated.
