Terminal Services, Part 3

In Part 1 and Part 2 of this article, I described some of the options for securing Windows 2000 Server Terminal Services. Here, in Part 3, I'll continue the tour by looking at some of the properties for Terminal Services connection objects.

Remote Control
Terminal Services security is controlled primarily through properties on Terminal Services connection objects using the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) Terminal Services Configuration snap-in. To begin, select the connection object, right-click, and select Properties. The Remote Control tab sets the properties that let administrators and support personnel take remote control of a session. Although this functionality is very useful in an application server scenario, you don’t want someone viewing your Terminal Services session while you are administering a server—much less taking control of it. . . .
