Hi.

We're running a windows 2000 server with terminal server running, and are
using programs that require more than the default 256 colors that the users
get when connecting remotely. Is there a way for me to increase the color
depth to 24 or 32 bit true Color for all users connecting to the terminal
server?

Please send answers to eh$REMOVE$FOR$SPAM$***@log$REMOVE$FOR$SPAM$tek.no,

Citrix Presentation Server and their ICA client are the only solution to
provide > 8bit color on 2000 Terminal Services. Server 2003 supports 16 hand
24 bit color natively.

Hello again. Thank you for your response. We got 15 Windows 2003 terminal
licenses around. I havent installed Win2003 TS yet, since we're uncertain if
it will work with our current software. It's is this new software we're
testing that requires 16/24-bit color to be of any use. This information will
just be another reason to get a new server and upgrade to Win2003 :-)

With regards
Erling Hersyad
