Windows NT, Terminal Server Edition (TSE) is an extension to NT Server that allows applications to run one centralized location while being presented on multiple client devices. Designed to decrease total cost of ownership, when used in conjunction with Citrix's MetaFrame product. TSE has also resulted in dramatic (500% or more) performance increase in standard NT administration tools and some database applications. A new edition is necessary to document this new functionality, and also the challenges that system architects will have to address as they design their W2K networks and then transition from Windows NT to W2K. Windows 2000 Thin Client Solutions follows the organization of the previous edition, but includes changes to discussions affected by W2K's release, including coverage of scalability and security. Additional chapters on installation of terminal services and MetaFrame on a W2K server, as well as chapters on TSE management, remote access, and application integration.

This will become THE bible on Metaframe & Win2k Terminal Svc,

This review is from: Windows NT/2000 Thin Client Solutions: Implementing Terminal Services and Citrix MetaFrame (2nd Edition) (Paperback)
I have been Managing a large Citrix environment for years and this is, by far, the best reference that I have read. There is no doubt that the author has actually used the product. It's not just a rehash of Citrix documentation. it is valuable information on necessary registry changes and policies that you need to use to make Metaframe the product it was intended to be. If you have used Metaframe you will love this book as a reference. If you have never used Metaframe you will learn how to proceed from the installation process all the way to some pretty advanced management techniques. This book is a must have for any Metaframe or Win2k Terminal Services administrator.

This review is from: Windows NT/2000 Thin Client Solutions: Implementing Terminal Services and Citrix MetaFrame (2nd Edition) (Paperback)
I don't think there's a single page in this book not packed with valuable information. I found this book near-perfect for someone experienced in the NT world but not in Citrix/TS. After finishing reading nearly the entire book in a single pass, I keep going back to it on a daily basis for reference. Few books can do that and even fewer on such a specialized area. I wish Todd would write a sequel covering application serving beyond the set up (he started doing so towards the end of this book). This guy can definitely write in a clear way. For example, reading his special tips after the discussion of a topic I felt as if he could read my mind and sure enough, there was the tip elaborating on a specific detail. Excellent.

What every IT/IS/MIS book should be like!,
By DOuG pRATt "DOuG pRATt" (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Windows NT/2000 Thin Client Solutions: Implementing Terminal Services and Citrix MetaFrame (2nd Edition) (Paperback)
This is simply an excellent piece of work. Terminal Server and MetaFrame are deceptively easy to install and connect to. They are, in fact, extremely complex. The issues surrounding global vs. user objects, NTFS file permissions, and user folder mapping can, and will, drive many -- if not most -- administrators crazy.Mr. Mathers has written a really useful book. If you're already familiar with the essentials of what's going on with the smoke-and-mirrors of this remote display technology, you might want to get started by going straight to the appendices. You absolutely must take his advice to heart that Terminal Server users must not have full access permissions, then you should follow his advice on what to do about all the problems that will be revealed by denying full access to users. Here is a stand-out reference among Windows-related books. As the saying goes, if you're going to have only one book this is the one.
