Terminal Server Client for Windows XP

[Guest]

I am a tech support worker configuring a new laptop with Windows XP. I am suppoed to install the Terminal Server Client, but cannot find it. XP doesn't bring the option in the Control Panel. Is this service compatible and instalable on Windows XP?

Use the Remote Desktop Connection (under Accessories | Communications). It
comes with XP and takes the place of the Terminal Server Client that had to
be separately installed with Windows 2000.

Is there a way to migrate the links from TSC 2000 to XP?

I am also trying to install Terminal Services on a Windows XP machine but can't find it also. I am aware of Remote Desktop but I am trying to login to a the Windows XP machine from a Windows 2000 Server machine which doesn't have Remote Desktop so I need to install the client on Windows XP. How would I go about doing that since I can't use adminpak.msi on Windows XP?

I am also trying to install Terminal Services on an XP machine but not able to. I am aware of Remote Desktop but that doesn't help me in my situation. I need to install the client on the XP machine in order for my Windows 2000 server to login. How would I go about installing the client on the XP since adminpak doesn't work on XP?

What links? Shortcuts? The file name is different.

Your terminology is confusing.

You've said that you wish to connect to a Windows XP machine from a Windows
2000 Server machine.

The Windows XP machine must be Windows XP Professional. In the remote tab,
in properties of My Computer, enable Remote Desktop.

On the Windows 2000 Server machine, you need an RDP client. I don't recall
what came with Windows 2000--something did, and if you are really worried
about adding code to the server you can use that.

You could also download the latest Remote Desktop client piece for Windows
Server 2003, and run that on the Windows 2000 server. In this usage, the
server is the "client" and the XP machine is the "host."

Terminal services = remote desktop.

The TS/RD client is already installed on XP. Go to start | run | mstsc
<enter> and you'll see it.

I don't know what you mean by that....

You already have the TS client - you can get the latest Remote Desktop
Client from microsoft.com/downloads.

Yes, the shortcuts. The filename is actually the same its just in different location, but the shortcuts seem to be calling information stored within the program, for exampe:
"C:\Archivos de programa\Terminal Server Client\MSTSC.EXE" "San Salvador"
Is there a way to migrate them from the TSC 2000 format to the XP Remote Desktop?

Don't think so, but you can save .rdp files and just send them to users
(with the server name, connection info,etc. preconfigured therein).
