When Terminal Services is activated on a windows server, users can connect to a virtual desktop on the server and all applications are executed on the server, instead of the client device.Ĭonceptually, the design is similar to using PCAnywhere, VNC or any other remote control product. These devices can be Windows, Macintosh or Linux workstations as well as wireless devices, laptops, set top boxes or potentially any device with a network connection.

The terminal server component of Windows Server allows remote clients and devices to access and use Windows Server desktops and applications. The findings of this white paper are already helping to shape the future direction for SEP functionality on Citrix and Terminal servers.

The aim of this whitepaper is to show that Symantec Endpoint Protection can function correctly on terminal servers and where necessary document any changes required to the Symantec Endpoint Protection architecture in order to improve performance or reliability on those terminal servers. This article does not cover deploying Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1 or 14 to workstation, other more general administration concerns or Citrix server best practice in general for guidance on these topics, please refer to the relevant product documentation. It also provides guidance on recovering from potential issues that may arise during the deployment and a list of useful online resources. This article focuses strictly on providing guidance on how to successfully deploy the Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1 or 14 protection components to a Microsoft Terminal Server or Citrix Presentation Server.
