== What is Remote Desktop? ==
<google>ADSDAQBOX_FLOW</google>
Remote Desktop allows the graphical interface of a remote Windows system to be displayed on over a network onto a local system. In addition, keyboard and mouse events on the local system are transmitted to the remote system enabling the local user to perform tasks on the remote system as if they were physically sitting at the remote system. Conversely, resources (such as printers and disk drives) on the local system can be made available to the remote system for the duration of the connection. This remote control can be established in a number of ways, including over wide area networks (WAN), local area networks (LAN) or over the internet.
In the case of Windows Server 2008, this service is provided by ''Terminal Services'' running on the remote systems and the ''Remote Desktop Connection'' (RDC) client on the local system.
Note that users with administrative privileges do not need to be added to this list, ; by default they already have Remote Desktop access. To add additional users click on the ''Add...'' button to display the ''Select Users'' dialog. Enter the name of the user in the text box entitled ''Enter object names to select'' and click on ''Check names'' to list names that match the name entered. Select the appropriate name from the list. The following example shows user ''Bill'' on server ''winserver-2'':
* '''Programs''' - Allows specified programs to be automatically invoked each time a remote sessions is established.
* '''Experience''' - Controls which desktop features are enabled or disabled for the Remote Desktop session. For example, over a slow dial-up connection it is unwise to have the desktop background displayed and font smoothing enabled. Either select the connection type and speed to see recommended settings, or use ''Custom'' to configure you your own settings. This particular screen also provides the option to have the connection automatically re-established in the event that a session is dropped.
* '''Advanced''' - Enables and disables remote server verification. This ensures that the remote server to which you are connected is indeed the server you wanted. Also available are TS Gateway settings. By default the Remote Desktop Client is configured to automatically detect TS Gateway settings.
