Thanks, that does help. I get confused because there is terminal server and
settings and administration within that.
Wish they would just call it remote desktop protocol and keep it uniform. I
was so confused when I was reading about questions for terminal services. I
do have a little server set up on virtual pc and installed the remote admin
tools, I will need to take a look at that mmc more.
Thanks for the clarification.
