Click to add a user or group to the Name box. Once added, the user or group will have permission to use the connection.


Displays the permissions available for the name selected in the Name box.


Displays the users and groups who have been granted permission to use the connection.


Click to remove the selected user or group from the Name box. Once removed, the user or group will no longer have permission to use the connection.


Specifies whether client connection settings are retrieved from the Local User Manager.


Specifies whether to automatically reconnect to mapped client drives.


Specifies whether to automatically reconnect to mapped client printers.


Specifies whether to automatically print to the client's default printer.


Specifies whether the client's drive mapping is disabled.


Specifies whether the client's Windows printer mapping is disabled.


Specifies whether the client's LPT port mapping is disabled.


Specifies whether the client's COM port mapping is disabled.


Specifies whether the client's clipboard mapping is disabled.


Specifies whether the client's audio mapping is disabled.


Specifies whether initial program settings are retrieved from the Local User Manager and the Client Connection Manager.


Specifies the path and the file name of the application that you want to start when the user logs on to the server.


Specifies the working directory path for the application that you want to start when the user logs on to the server.


Specifies whether to disable the display of Windows desktop wallpaper. This saves system resources by decreasing the time required to repaint the screen.


Identifies the connection. The connection name cannot be changed from this dialog box. To change the name of an existing connection, right-click the connection and click Rename.


Identifies the type of protocol used to provide the connection.


Identifies the transport used for the connection.


Provides a space for you to type information about the connection.


Identifies the network adapter through which the connection communicates. The list contains all network adapters on your computer that can be configured with the transport.


Specifies the maximum number of sessions that the connection can have. Enter a number in Maximum connections. Restricting the number of sessions improves performance since fewer sessions are demanding system resources.


Specifies that an unrestricted number of sessions can connect to the server using the connection.


Specifies the level of encryption for data sent between the server and the client. The Low level uses the standard 40-bit RSA RC4 encryption which secures all data sent from the client to the server. The Medium level also uses the standard 40-bit RSA RC4 encryption, but encrypts data in both directions. If you are located in the United States or Canada, you have the option to select the High level and use strong 128-bit encryption.

When using Medium or High levels, you should be aware that this will affect system performance since both the server and the client must encrypt and then decrypt data.


Specifies whether the connection will default to Windows NT logon authentication when a third-party authentication package has been installed on the server.


Specifies whether timeout settings are retrieved from the Local User Manager.


Sets the maximum duration for the connection. If you specify a duration, the session is disconnected or terminated after the time elapses. Select No Timeout to allow the connection to continue for an unlimited period.

You can either select the length of time or type the number of minutes, hours, or days in the Connection box. Specify the units of time using m for minutes, h for hours, and d for days. The maximum length of time you can specify is 47 days.


Sets the maximum duration that a disconnected session remains active on the server. If you specify a duration of time, a disconnected session is terminated after the time elapses. Select No Timeout to allow disconnected sessions to remain active indefinitely.

You can either select the length of time or type the number of minutes, hours, or days in the Disconnection box. Specify the units of time using m for minutes, h for hours, and d for days. The maximum length of time you can specify is 47 days.


Sets the maximum idle time (time without client activity) allowed before the session is disconnected or terminated. If you specify a duration, the session is disconnected or terminated after there has been no client activity for that period of time. Select No Timeout to allow clients to remain idle indefinitely.

You can either select the length of time or type the number of minutes, hours, or days in the Idle box. Specify the units of time using m for minutes, h for hours, and d for days. The maximum length of time you can specify is 47 days.


Specifies whether settings are retrieved from the Local User Manager.


Click to place a client session in the disconnected state when the connection to the server is broken for any reason, including a request, a connection error, an idle timeout, or a connection timeout.


Click to terminate a client session when the connection to the server is broken for any reason, including a request, a connection error, an idle timeout, or a connection timeout.


Specifies whether settings are retrieved from the Local User Manager.


By default, Terminal server allows you to reconnect to a disconnected session from any computer.


Click to only allow a user to reconnect to a disconnected session from the computer where the session originated.

This option is supported only for Citrix ICA-based clients that provide a serial number when connecting.


Specifies whether logon settings are retrieved from the Client Connection Manager.


Provides a space for you to enter the name of the user you want to allow to logon to the server automatically.


Provides a space for you to enter the domain to which the user's computer belongs.


Provides a space to enter the user's password.


Provides a space for you to verify the word you entered in Password .


Specifies whether the user will be prompted for a password before logging on to the server.


Specifies whether remote control settings are retrieved from the Terminal Services extension to Local User Manager.


By default, Terminal server does not allow remote observation or control of a user's session.


Specifies whether to enable remote observation or control of the user's session.


Specifies whether to display a message on the client that asks permission to view or take part in the session.


Click to monitor the user's session.


Click to actively control the user's session with your keyboard and mouse.


Enables Internet Connector licensing. The Internet Connector license allows 200 concurrent connections to a Terminal server over the Internet. All users must be non-employees.


Disables Internet Connector licensing.


Select the type of security required for all connections on the Terminal server. Remote Administration Access provides Full Control permission to SYSTEM and Administrator groups. Application Server provides Users Access permission to the Users group. Anonymous Access provides Logon Access permission to the EVERYONE and Guest groups. Remote Administration Access is the default setting.


Select Yes to delete temporary directories when exiting Terminal Services.


Select No to retain temporary directories when exiting Terminal Services.


Select Yes to use a separate temporary directory for each user's session.


Select No to not use separate directories for each user's session.


Select the network adapter for the connection from the list of available adapters on your computer.


Specifies that an unrestricted number of sessions can connect to the server using the connection.


Specifies the maximum number of sessions that the connection can have. Enter a number in Maximum connections. Restricting the number of sessions improves performance since fewer sessions are demanding system resources.
