Windows Terminal Server Policy

The Windows Terminal Server policy option is available on the WinNT Terminal Server, Win2000 Terminal Server, and the WinXP Terminal Server platforms.

For a greater compatibility between ZENworks for Desktops 4 and other systems, ZENworks has included a new policy that allows you to administer your user's interaction and the behavior of terminal server available on Microsoft servers.

The NDS Rights, Other, and Rights to Files and Folders pages are described in the "Creating a User Policy Package" section, earlier in this chapter.

Figure 8.13 displays a sample page of this policy.

In this policy, you can administer the various aspects of the terminal server, as follows:

• Allow Login to Terminal Server This allows associated users the capability to log into the terminal server system.

• Broken or Timed-Out Connections You can cause the system to disconnect these broken connections or choose to reset the connection.

• Reconnect From This allows you to choose whether the reconnection should be done from any available client on the terminal server or from the previous client (the one that timed out).

• Timeout Settings Here, you can set the time in minutes for each of the connection times, disconnect timeout, and idle timeout times.

• Shadowing These fields allow you to enable or disable shadowing on the terminal server along with the options to allow input and to notify the client when shadowing is enabled.

• Modem Callback This allows you to enable modem callback and administer the phone numbers to use.

Login Page

From the login page, you can specify the initial client configuration, including the workstation directory on the terminal server. Additionally you can specify whether to connect client printers at login and indicate the Terminal Server Home directory and profile paths.
