This article discusses the Remote Desktop Connection (RDC)
6.1 client update that helps you use the new Terminal Services features. These
features are introduced in Windows Vista and in Windows Server 2008 and are
available from a computer that is running Windows XP Service Pack 2
(SP2).
The RDC 6.1 client can be used to connect to legacy terminal
servers or to remote desktops as before. However, the new features that are
mentioned in this article are available only when the client connects to a
remote computer is running Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008.

The RDC 6.1 client update contains the following features.
Back to the top
Terminal Services Web Access
Terminal Services Web Access (TS Web Access) is a service in
Terminal Services that lets you make Windows Server 2008 Terminal Services
RemoteApp (TS RemoteApp) programs available to users from a Web browser. You
can also use TS Web Access to make a link to the terminal server desktop
available. Additionally, TS Web Access enables users to open a connection from
a Web browser to the remote desktop of any server or of any client computer to
which the users have the appropriate access.
Back to the top
Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) Signing
RDP signing lets users sign RDP files and connections that are
opened from TS Web Access. This feature helps users make sure that they are not
using malicious RDP files to connect to potentially hostile terminal servers.
You can also use Group Policy settings to specify that a user can only open
signed files. This feature lets administrators make sure that users only
connect to known resources.

Terminal Services EasyPrint
Terminal Services Easy Print (TS Easy Print) is the new printer
redirection solution that was introduced in Windows Server 2008. TS Easy Print
makes sure that client printers are always installed in remote sessions and
that you do not have to install the printer drivers on the terminal server.
Additionally, TS Easy Print addresses several other printer redirection issues
that have been problematic in the past. Print queues are now scoped per
session, all printer properties are available in the remote session, and
terminal server administrators can use a policy setting to redirect only the
default printer. Terminal Services Easy Print is now the default printer
redirection mechanism in Terminal Services. Therefore, no configuration is
required to use this feature.
Back to the top
What is required to use TS Easy Print
To use Terminal Services Easy Print Windows, Server 2008 Server
must be installed on the Terminal Services server. No additional drivers have
to be installed, and no additional configuration has to occur. On the Terminal
Services client, the user must be running Terminal Services client 6.1 and the
Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 Service Pack 1.

Server authentication
In RDC 6.1, server authentication verifies that you are connecting
to the correct remote computer or remote server. This security feature helps
prevent you from connecting to a computer or to a server to which you did not
intend to connect. This feature also prevents you from unintentionally exposing
confidential information.
By default, server authentication is
enabled for the connection. However, if you want to change server
authentication settings, follow these steps:
| 1. | Click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, click Communication, and then click Remote Desktop Connection. |
| 2. | Click Options, and then click the Advanced tab. |
The following three authentication options are available:
| • | Always connect, even if authentication fails
If you enable this option, you can connect even if RDC |
| • | Warn me if authentication fails
If you enable this option, RDC 6.1 tells you if it |
| • | Do not connect if authentication fails
If you enable this option, you cannot connect if RDC 6.1 |

Resource redirection
The RDC 6.1 client helps you redirect Plug and Play devices that
support redirection.
To redirect a Plug and Play device, follow these
steps:
| 1. | Click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, click Communication, and then click Remote Desktop Connection. |
| 2. | Click Options, click the Local Resources tab, click More, and then select the Supported Plug and Play devices check box. |
Note A Windows XP-based client computer that is running RDP 6.1 only
supports Point of Service (POS) for .NET devices. A Windows XP-based client
computer that is running RDP 6.1 does not support Media Transfer Protocol (MTP)
devices such as digital cameras and media players.
Back to the top
Terminal Server Gateway servers
A Terminal Server Gateway (TS Gateway) server is a kind of gateway
that enables authorized users to connect to remote computers on a corporate
network. These authorized users can connect from any computer by using an
Internet connection. TS Gateway uses the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) together
with the HTTPS protocol to help create a more secure encrypted connection.
Earlier versions of RDC cannot connect to remote computers across
firewalls and across network address translators. This is because port 3389 is
typically blocked to improve network security. Port 3389 is the port that is
used for Remote Desktop connections. However, a TS Gateway server uses port
443. Port 443 transmits data through a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) tunnel.
A TS Gateway server has the following benefits:
| • | It enables Remote Desktop connections to a corporate network from the Internet. In this case, it does not require a virtual private network (VPN) connection. |
| • | It enables connections to remote computers across firewalls. |
| • | It helps you share a network connection with other programs that are running on the computer. This enables you to use the Internet service provider (ISP) connection instead of the corporate network to send and to receive data over the remote connection. |
To specify a TS Gateway server, follow these steps:
| 1. | Click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, click Communication, and then click Remote Desktop Connection. |
||||||
| 2. | Click Options, click the Advanced tab, and then click Settings. |
||||||
| 3. | Click Use these TS Gateway server settings, type the server name in the Server name box, and then select one of the following logon methods from the Logon methods list:
|
||||||
| 4. | Select or clear the Bypass TS Gateway server for local addresses check box. If you select this check box, you prevent the traffic that is moving to and from local network addresses from being routed through the TS Gateway server. This option makes the connection faster. |
Back to the top
Terminal Services RemoteApp
TS RemoteApp is a feature of Windows Server Terminal Services that
lets client computers connect to a remote computer to use programs that are
installed on the remote computer. For example, a workplace may have a remote
computer to which employees can connect and run Microsoft Word. An
administrator must publish the programs for end-users to access the programs.
The experience for end-users is the same as when they run a program that is
installed on the local computer.
TS RemoteApp makes system
administration easier because there is only one copy of a program to upgrade
and to maintain instead of many copies that are installed on individual
computers.
Back to the top
Monitor spanning
Remote Desktop Connection supports high-resolution displays that
can be spanned across multiple monitors. However, the total resolution on all
monitors must be under 4096 x 2048 pixels. The monitors must have the same
resolution. Additionally, the monitors must be aligned
side-by-side.
To have the desktop of the remote computer span multiple
monitors, type Mstsc /span at a command prompt.
Back to the top
Visual improvements
Remote Desktop Connection now supports both 32-bit color and font
smoothing.
To enable 32-bit color, follow these steps:
| 1. | Click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, click Communication, and then click Remote Desktop Connection. |
| 2. | Click Options, click the Display tab, and then click Highest Quality (32 bit) in the Colors list. |
To enable font smoothing, follow these steps:
| 1. | Click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, click Communication, and then click Remote Desktop Connection. |
| 2. | Click Options, click the Experience tab, and then select the Font smoothing check box. |

То, что вышел новый RDP6.1 — это не новость. Поддерживаются с клиентской стороны — Windows XP SP3/Vista SP1. При наличии Windows 2008 Server на серверной стороне — приятная вещь, как минимум, Easy Print — печать из терминальной сессии на клиентский принтер без необходимости установки принтерных драйверов на сервер. Ранее для этого приходилось пользоваться сторонними ThinPrint или Tarantella aka Sun Global Secure Desktop.
Ниже опыты с прикручиванием его к другим версиям винды.
Что нужно: .Net Framework 3.0 SP1 или 3.5 — линк на онлайн-инсталлер, линк на полную версию.
Что делать если:
Windows XP SP2 — путь классический: читать, или скачать.
Кратко — это официальный клиент для XP SP2, но через автообновления доступен не будет. Необходимо выкачать и поставить вручную. .NET так же необходим.
Windows XP (все версии) или Vista Clean (no SPs) — путь обходной. Необходимые файлы берем с XP SP3/Vista SP1:
1. %windir%\system32\mstsc.exe и %windir%\system32\mstscax.dll
2. %windir%\system32\en-US\mstsc.exe.mui и %windir%\system32\en-US\mstscax.dll.mui
Внимание! Для линейки ХР файлы можно сложить в одном каталоге, для Vista — файлы из п. 2 обязательно должны быть в каталоге en-US.
В принципе, можно скопировать файлы из %windir%\system32\ru-RU — это влияет только на тексты окна терминального клиента.
.NET так же необходим.
Если вы используете файлы RDP-подключения — после апгрейда вас будут предупреждать, что соединение не подписано — см. тут мои изыскания.
И, как обычно, отступление. В новой версии RDP клиента для OS X поменялся формат RDP-файла, теперь это не plain text, а XML. Тестировать буду завтра.
Может, будет полезно.
Удачи!
