XP/VS Terminal Server
What XP/VS Terminal Server is
XP/VS Terminal Server turns a Windows system into an RDP server for simultaneous remote access to Windows desktops and applications. Thinstuff describes it as suitable for small and medium enterprises. RemoteApps let users open server applications through a client, while sessions can redirect printers, clipboard, smart cards, ports, and drives. Standard and Professional editions offer domain authentication when the XP/VS system belongs to a Windows Server domain. Professional includes Thincast RD Gateway Shield, which wraps RDP in HTTPS and provides two-factor authentication. Its TSX USB feature supports client-attached USB 2.0 devices but not USB 3.0. Listed server support spans Windows Server 2003 through 2025. A 14-day trial is available, and importing a license afterward requires no reinstall. Plans are paid, with monthly USD options and one-time EUR licenses; stated prices exclude VAT.
