The Desktop Files: Getting to Know RDP | |
|
||
| Time: 14:12 EST/19:12 GMT | News Source: Microsoft | Posted By: Robert Stein | ||

The Remote Desktop Protocol, or RDP, allows you to access machines remotely. It's a very useful piece of technology that has undoubtedly saved more than a few system admins over the years. RDP has a long history of providing better and better remote access support. It was introduced in 1998 for Windows NT 4.0 Terminal Server Edition (TSE) and has evolved in almost every release of Windows® since. Beginning with Windows 2000, almost anyone could easily access a server system remotely because Terminal Services was introduced as an optional Windows component and could be configured so you could use the system either as an actual Terminal Server or for what we call Remote Desktop today. Windows Server® 2003 and Windows XP delivered native Remote Desktop functionality, allowing you to control the system as if you were there locally. Today, I use Remote Desktop every day to access my home PC and server remotely, and to use my Media Center Extender. | ||
