What Is a Remote Desktop Connection?

The Remote Desktop Connection component is provided by Microsoft Corporation from Windows 2000 Server. It is not installed by default in Windows 2000 Server.

Remote desktop is a remote control function provided by Windows 2000 server / 2003 / XP. (Called "Terminal Services" in Windows 2000 serverer / 2003), through which we can connect to a remote computer, access all its applications, files and Network resources for real-time operations, such as installing software, running programs, and troubleshooting. As if you were sitting in front of that computer. No matter how far the actual distance is. ^[1]

The working principle is that the client and the server communicate with the standard LAN architecture through the TCP / IP protocol. The client's mouse and keyboard input is passed to the server through the client terminal, and the server's display is passed back to the client. The application always runs on the server. The client does not need to have computing power. At most, it only needs to provide some caching capabilities. Many clients can log in to the server at the same time, as if working on the server at the same time. They are independent of each other as different session connections. If the server is in the public network. You must have a public IP address, or add a 3389 port mapping to the remote desktop server machine in the gateway.

Take advantage of this technology. We can use the personal PC as the master in the office. Manage multiple application servers in a remote computer room. Realize server remote management ^[2]
