Editorials
From Barnes & Noble
The Barnes & Noble ReviewTodd Mathers has written the book on implementing and managing Windows terminal services, in any flavor: Win2K Server, NT 4.0 Terminal Server, and/or Citrix Metaframe. Whether you're deploying Windows terminal services to lower your TCO, or to provide Windows applications to older or non-Windows computers, you need this book — now.
The book shines when it comes to planning, the key to success in any terminal services implementation. You'll find real-world guidance on sizing servers and projecting network usage for Terminal Services environments; how your policies and procedures are likely to change; what Terminal Services will mean to your help desk; and how to plan for security.
Chapter after chapter, you'll find the working details only an expert can provide. Todd Mathers shows you which server registry and performance settings you'll need to tweak. Which HP LaserJets routinely bluescreen NT 4.0 Terminal Server. How MetaFrame and firewalls interact.
There's also a full chapter on application integration — one of the toughest challenges associated with deploying Terminal Server. You'll find detailed guidance on using Microsoft's arcane Application Compatibility Scripts and Program Compatibility Flags, plus handy notes on installing Office 2000 and Acrobat Reader for use by terminal clients. If you're running terminal services, we doubt there's a page in this book you won't find useful, or a day you won't refer to it.
