Do Not Use Screen Savers with Terminal Server

• Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0, Terminal Server Edition

SUMMARY

Many screen savers monopolize system resources. In a Windows Terminal Server environment, a screen saver activated on the server or on a Terminal Server Client can monopolize server resources to an extent that makes it appear that other clients are hung. For this reason, Microsoft recommends that screen savers not be used on Windows Terminal Servers or within Terminal Server Client sessions. If a screen saver is required, choose the Blank Screen screen saver or another non-intensive screen saver that you have verified using Performance Monitor.
