Deploying Terminal Services |
Terminal Services is available in Windows 2000 MultiLanguage Version. Windows 2000 MultiLanguage Version allows you to install and configure multiple user interface languages on your computers. This simplifies the deployment process and reduces hardware costs for multinational organizations. For example, a Swiss corporation which is required by law to provide the user interface in English, French, and German, can provide all three languages on one server.
Before enabling Terminal Services in the Windows 2000 MultiLanguage Version, determine which user interface languages you need. If the Terminal Services computers serve users around the world, but all the international users understand English, you might want to deploy the International English version of Terminal Services.
Administrators can set the user interface language using Group Policy. Users select their language from the General tab of Regional Options in Control Panel. When a user has a roaming profile that specifies a language that is not installed, the system defaults to English.
Terminal Services tracks the time according to the time zone in which it has been configured, rather than on an individual user basis. Users located in a different time zone than the server must make allowances for time differences.
