Remote Desktop Protocol
« on: November 13, 2007, 12:13:55 PM »
Does Windows 2000 support remote desktop protocol? And if so, how do I enable a computer to accept it? For example, in Windows XP you right click "My Computer", select properties, remote tab and enable it.
Thanks!

    No, Windows 2000 does not support the server, that was an XP and forward technology.  What Patio provided was the client, which can be installed back to Win95, used to connect to computers that can run the server (XP Pro, Server 2003, Vista Business and above, Windows Home Server, etc.)

    You can however use other applications, such as VPN, to do practically the same thing.

      Or you can use RealVNC, which is a lot easier to set up than VPN (I usually would leave VPN for more business related networks).

        oops, I ment VNC.  Got my acronyms crossed. 

        Patio, I know you can install the CLIENT on earlier versions of Windows, but that's not the SERVER.  If you know how to install the server pre-xp, let me know how you did it.
