Terminal Services lets users run Microsoft Windows–based applications on a remote server. When users run an application on a terminal server, the execution and processing take place on the server, and only the data from devices such as the display, keyboard, and mouse are transmitted over the network. A client logged on to a terminal server and running applications remotely is said to be using a virtual session. Although there may be dozens or hundreds of users simultaneously logged on to a terminal server, users see only their own virtual session.
