XPTS is now known as TerminalRDP with immediate effect. Now available for download and evaluation.
By seamlessly integrating TerminalRDP into your organisation you can ensure that you maximize the deployment of Microsoft Terminal Services into your organisation. Applications can be pushed directly onto your end users desktops or start menu's, they won't even be aware the application is installed on a remote machine. With TerminalRDP you can deliver seamless RDP applications to your users desktops quickly and easily.
TerminalRDP is the only seamless RDP application deployment solution you will need for your Windows(tm) Enterprise
Applications are published for either Everyone that uses the network or for specific NT Security Groups. Therefore, users only see the applications they are supposed to.
Using the full 32bit client on an NT platform also provides Start menu integration. All applications the user is permitted to use will be pushed onto a special Remote Applications folder on the users Start menu. This folder is automatically updated every 5 minutes so if a new application is published, the user does not need to logoff and back on again to get the new application.
Now with support for nested folders, enabling separation of common application groups.
With Load Balancing Support integrated within the core of TerminalRDP there is no need for a seperate product to do the job. Therefore, each client connection will be directed to the least busy server in the TerminalRDP network. With various configurations possible from simple session counting to more complex memory and pagefile usage monitoring the Load Balancer can be configured to suite your needs.
Each application can also have it's own unique set of parameters, file associations, printer/disk mapping and even be forced over SSL if required.
CPU Affinity & Priority Control
By allowing control over CPU Affinity and Process Priority you will have more flexability to control system response. An application that uses the CPU heavily can cause disruption if it's left to run either on all CPU's in the system or at Normal priority. Sometimes you need to change both.
For example, web browsers showing shockwave animations or web pages can sometimes cause high CPU load on a machine, which if it's a terminal server can lead to disruption of other users. With this module you can easily dedicate the web browser to run on only 1 CPU in the system. This has the added benefit of stopping processor swapping (normal NT operation in multi processor machines).
Single SignOn
With full 32bit NT desktop integration, in a domain environment your users only need to logon to the workstation once. When launching a remote TerminalRDP application there is no need for extra usernames and passwords, their local user credentials will be used on the remote system.
This option is enabled during installation of the client.
SSL/TLS encryption provides you with industry standard security for your RDP data. Normal RDP communication is not highly encrypted but by enabling a simple tick box in your published application profile you can secure the connection.
TerminalRDP has been designed with support for our other product TerminalRDP VPN in mind. Now you can publish applications in the normal way and not have to worry about users being on your local network or remote via the TerminalRDP VPN, the setup is exactly the same at the server side.
All you need do is install the TerminalRDP VPN server (a seperate product) on anything from a Windows XPpro machine to a Windows 2003 Server (note, the base OS must NOT have Terminal Services enabled unless it is listening port is changed from 3389), import the TerminalRDP servers from your network and perform a couple of configuration tasks and your users are good to go.
When a remote user logs onto their PC they will get a secondary logon prompt
in which they enter their normal network credentials, assuming authentication is ok then they will get their normal applications published to their start menu (as shown above).
3rd Party Printing Support
XPTS Client support 3rd party printing clients such as Tricerat Simplify Printing by allowing the use of the installed client DLL, much the same way as it integrates with the Microsoft(tm) RDP Client
