Terminal Server Client Taskbar Clock Not Enabled

• Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0, Terminal Server Edition

SUMMARY

Windows 95 and Windows NT desktops normally include a clock on the Taskbar. However, the Terminal Server Client (whether 16-bit or 32-bit) does not show the clock by default. The clock is turned off because screen updates occur every minute, resulting in network traffic.

If the clock is enabled on the Client, the Terminal Server computer will push a total frame of 113 bytes to the client. The client will acknowledge with a total frame of 60 bytes. Administrators wanting to enable the Taskbar clock function should factor an additional bandwidth usage of 173 bytes (1384 bits) for each minute for each client.

MORE INFORMATION

To enable the clock, perform the following steps:

1. Right-click on the Taskbar and select Properties.



2. Select the Show Clock check box.
