Description of Remote Desktop for Administrator &NTFS inhancement

Remote Desktop for Administrator

It provides remote access to most configuration settings, to diagnose a problem and test multiple solutions quickly. Remote desktop for Administration allows access to servers from anywhere in the work!. You can perform time- consuming batch administrative ‘such as tape backup’s remotely.Using remote desktop you can upgrade server applications and operating systems remotely.

NTFS Enhancement

i) Default Root Security on NTFS Partitions

With Windows 2000, the default root directory permissions on NTFS partitions gave everyone full control. For Windows Server, the root directory permissions have been tightened such that non-Administrators cannot write into the roof directory nor can non-Administrators modify files created by other users off of the root. Users will not be able to accidentally or maliciously place Trojans in the roof directory for subsequent invocation by administrators.

ii) NTFS Read-Only Volumes

This feature provides the ability to indicate an NT File System (NTFS) volume as read-only. An administrator occasionally requires the need to indicate an NTFS volume as read-only during backup operations. This enables the backup utility to mount the NTFS volume shadow copy as read- only.

iii) NTFS SetShortName for Backup

Windows NT File System (NTFS) allows both short and long filenames. The short filenames are implicitly created by NTFS when an application creates the file, subject to the tunnel cache state. Currently, when files are copied, backed up or restored, the short filenames are not preserved. There are also applications that use these short filenames to refer to files and they are not correctly backed up or restored. This feature enables the use of short file names to be preserved and correctly copied, backed up, restored. A user backs up a file server that includes registry entries that refer to short filenames and later needs to restore the files. All file names will be correctly preserved and restored.

Terminal Services Enhancements

desktop protocol you get following enhancements:

• Remote access to Console / Session 0

• Audio redirection

• Serial/parallel port mapping

• PnP remote printer drivers

• Local drive mapping

• Session mapping

• Video enhancements include

• Full screen connection bar

• Increased resolution 1600 x 1200
