Using the RILOE II 42

On Windows® XP servers, the Terminal Services client and RDP connection is built in. The client is
an integral part of the operating system and is executed by selecting
Start>Programs>Accessories>Communications>Remote Desktop. The Terminal Services
client in Windows® XP provides command line options and seamless launches from the Remote
Console applet.

Windows® RDP Pass-Through service

To use the RILOE II Terminal Services Pass-Through feature, a service must be installed on the host system.
This service will show the name of RILOE II Proxy in the host's list of available services. The service utilizes
the Microsoft® .NET framework's security and reliability. After the service has started, the service polls the
RILOE II to find out if a an RDP connection with the client has been established. If an RDP connection with
the client has been established, it then establishes a TCP connection with localhost and begins
exchanging packets. The port used to communicate with localhost is read from the Windows® registry at

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TerminalServer\Wds\rdpwd\Tds\tcp\P

ortNumber

This is typically port 3389.

Terminal Services pass-through installation

Microsoft® Windows® 2000 and Windows® 2003 require Microsoft® .NET Framework to support
the use of Terminal Services. The Terminal Services pass-through service and the RILOE II
Management Interface Driver for Microsoft® Windows® 2000 and Microsoft® Windows Server™
2003 must be installed on the server that has the RILOE II. The service and RILOE II driver are
available as Smart Components on the HP website and on the HP SmartStart CD. They are also part
of the ProLiant Support Pack for Microsoft® Windows® Server 2003 and Microsoft® Windows®.

a.

Install the RILOE II Management Interface driver.

b.

Install the service. To install the service, launch the component installer and follow the directions
in the installation wizard.
If the service is already installed, then it must be manually restarted or the server rebooted when
the driver is installed.

c.

Install or activate the Terminal Services client.
Microsoft® Windows® 2000 servers require the installation of Microsoft® .NET Framework to
support the use of Terminal Services. After .NET Framework is installed, the Terminal Services
client must be installed from diskettes created by the Terminal Services server or by downloading
the client from the Microsoft® website and installed through the Control Panel using Add or
Remove Programs. Consult your Windows® operating guides or help files for instructions. When
installing the Terminal Services client on Windows® 2000, use the default installation location.
On Microsoft® Windows Server™ 2003, you can activate Remote Desktop sharing by selecting
the Remote tab under My Computer and Properties.

If the RILOE II installation is complete and if Terminal Services Pass-through is set to automatic, then
Terminal Services launches when the installation is complete.

Microsoft® Windows® XP clients have the Remote Desktop Connection built in and no other
installation is required.

Errors during installation and during execution of the pass-through service are logged in the server's
Application Event Log. The pass-through service can be removed using Add or Remove Programs in the
Control Panel.

Windows® 2000 Terminal Services port change

If the Terminal Services port is changed, Windows® 2000 client must manually configure the Terminal
Services Client Connection Manager.
