Of all the changes that Microsoft implemented in SBS 2003, the one that met with the largest uproar from the SBS community was the removal of Terminal Services support from the SBS server. Not all of the responses were negative, however. A large portion of the SBS community celebrated the loss of Terminal Services in Application mode because it removed one of the most significant security threats from the server.

Still, small companies that had been using Terminal Services on their SBS 2000 installations need to provide Terminal Services in the SBS 2003 environment. This chapter explains the basics of setting up Terminal Services in an SBS 2003 network and touches on some of the more common issues that network administrators may face.
