In server 2003 R2, what would Terminal Services be?  It says that you can give people on non-x86-based platform remote control it, but what does that really mean?  How would you do that? Just open a web browser ype in "TERMINAL SVC" and itll work?? (I know that would never work, just showing how  I have absolutely no Idea).

Thanks.

Terminal Services is a service that runs on the machine and allows remote connections.

you need a terminal client to access it such as Remote Desktop on windows machines but anything that uses the Remote Desktop Protocol can access it.

Goto Control Panel ->Administrative Tools->Services and check that Terminal Services is started.  If its not there then

Goto Control Panel ->Add/Remove Programs and click the windows component setup tab, you can install Terminal Services from here

What makes it any different than the Remote Desktop in WinXPPro?

Terminal Services can support multiple concurrent users.

Windows XP supports multiple cuncurrent users ("Fast User Switching"), it just allows more than one active session :)
