Windows RDP passthrough service
To use the iLO 2 Terminal Services Passthrough feature, you must install a passthrough service on the host
system. This service displays the name of the iLO 2 Proxy in the host list of available services. The service
utilizes Microsoft® .NET framework security and reliability. After the service is started, the service polls
iLO 2 to detect if an RDP connection with the client is established. If an RDP connection with the client is
established, the service establishes a TCP connection with local host and begins exchanging packets. The
port used to communicate with the local host is read from the Windows® registry at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\TerminalServer\Wds\r
dpwd\Tds\tcp\PortNumber
The port is typically port 3389.
Terminal Services pass-through installation
The following section describes how to install Terminal Services pass-through on Windows Server® 2008,
Windows Server® 2003, and Microsoft® Windows® XP.
• Windows Server® 2003 and Windows Server® 2008
Windows® servers require Microsoft® .NET Framework to support the use of iLO 2 Terminal
Services. The Terminal Services pass-through service and the iLO 2 Management Interface driver for
Windows Server® 2008 and Windows Server® 2003 must be installed on the server that has the
iLO 2.
a. Install the iLO 2 Management Interface driver.
b. Install the pass-through service. To install the service, launch the component installer and follow
the directions in the installation wizard.
If the service is already installed, then you must manually restart or reboot the server when the
driver is installed.
c. Activate the Terminal Services client.
On Windows Server® 2003 and Windows Server® 2008, you can activate Remote Desktop
sharing by clicking the Remote tab under My Computer and Properties.
If the iLO 2 installation is complete, and if iLO 2 Terminal Services Pass-through option is set to
automatic, then Terminal Services launches when the installation is complete.
• Microsoft® Windows® XP
On Windows® XP, the Remote Desktop Connection is built-in and has no other installation
requirements.
