Install SBS2008 with all default settings.
Provide
-computer name
-domain name
-make new forest (this is a PDC)
Install Windows (2003,2008..) server as standalone server and enable terminal service.
Add it into the domain (above defined)
To make available Terminal Services:
Add all users you need to access it as following:
-On 2003 server.
Open Terminal Services Configuration.
In the Connections folder, right-click RDP-Tcp.
Click Properties.
On the Permissions tab, click Add, and then add the desired users and groups by your own.
No need restart service or server.
Allow access from outside world to your terminal server only:
Add into your firewall NAT rules:
Inbound Port: 3389 (can be any port you consider , better over 5000)
Private (internal) port: 3389
Private (internal) address: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (the IP address where your server is located on your LAN)
Setup this entry for TCP and UDP protocols.
When is good RDP?
When you have applications which must run in terminal service.
Note:
It will create load on that server. If there are many users at the same time and many applications such us Myob, Outlook then a powerful machine must be considered. HDD and power processing are the main issues.
