I have this unfortunate experience with Windows 7. My company ordered a rack PC with Windows 7 Pro installed. The intentions were to use Remote Desktop Services (formally Terminal Services) to host an application and allow a Linux Suse thinclient to access the hosted application. The unfortunate side is it appears that Windows 7 cannot host a RD Host Service and only Windows Server can.
I have a two questions:
1. Assuming Windows Server is purchased (RDS License and User CALs) and a server is set up (I've read how to setup a service/application), what do I need to do to connect to it from on the Linux box?
What I've read: From what I understand, I first have to have a shared file to store a RDP file. Then I use Server Manager to add Roles and add what applications to be shared. All I have to do is access the shared RDP on the Linux OS and I'm golden?
2. Are they any good alternative software that I can use on Windows 7 that create a Terminal Service accessible on a Linux OS?
