Connect to a Terminal Server

1.On your device, tap Start > Programs > Terminal Services Client.

2.Enter the server name.

3.You can also select a server name in Recent servers if you have recently connected to a server.

4.Select the Limit size of server desktop to fit on this screen check box if you want to use programs that have been specifically sized for use with your device.

5.Tap Connect.

The next time the device is turned on, you will be prompted to enter your password.

Navigate within Terminal Services Client

When connected to a remote server, you may notice that your device screen is displaying more than one horizontal and vertical scroll bar. Use these scroll bars to either scroll the contents on the PC, or to scroll the PC display through the Terminal Services Client window. To make sure you are scrolling the PC display through Terminal Services Client, use the five directional buttons at the bottom of the Terminal Services Client window. To better fit information on your device screen, select the Limit size of server desktop to fit on this screen check box. For best results, the programs on your desktop PC should be maximized.
