Re: Terminal Server & CLI clients

[Pat Barber <mboceanside@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I understand the thin clients don't have much in the way of
installed software or even a hard drive, so what does
terminal server give you that regular old Windows Server
doesn't ?

I guess the question is, "why one instead of the other" ???

Even from their web site(CLI), I don't get the impression
that it is really required.

I "assume" you only need Terminal Server if you plan on
letting the users access "any" windows apps while using
the thin client.
