What is the Windows Terminal Server?
The two Windows Terminal Servers, called ts1.lpl.arizona.edu and
ts3.lpl.arizona.edu, are computers running the Microsoft Windows
operating system. These servers are available for use from remote machines.
This allows users who may have another machine on their desktop the ability to run
applications which are only available on Windows machines.

How do I connect to the Windows Terminal Servers?
rdesktop -a 16 -g 1024x768 -r sound:local ts1.lpl.arizona.edu or rdesktop -a 16 -g 1024x768 -r sound:local ts3.lpl.arizona.edu
Select Start Select All Programs Select Accessories Select Communications Select Remote Desktop ConnectionThe program will ask for the name of the remote machine to which to connect; here it would be ts1.lpl.arizona.edu or ts3.lpl.arizona.edu. When you log into the terminal servers, under any enviroment, it will prompt you for a user name and password. Make sure you are on the AD domain and proceed to enter your AD Username/Password combination. In addition, the Options button can be use to set options such as the display size and sound control.
Control of the volume is primarily done on the local machine, but some
control is also done on the remote machine. For instance, to select
the audio to come from the headphone jack on a SunRay, use the Solaris
Audio Control option under CDE Applications and select
Headphones.
On a PC or Mac, use the normal audio controls.
