The Host Workstation ID is a unique identifier generated at installation time, which the
Gateway uses for reporting and reference purposes.
Manage Gateway order
The ability to control the order of the Gateway list allows the Master user to control the
order in which connections are attempted. The Host will automatically go down the list in
order to establish a connection and report to a Gateway. If a connection attempt fails, the
Host will automatically move to the next entry in the list; if a connection attempt
succeeds, the Host will ignore all other entries in the list to that same the Gateway and
will proceed to the next the Gateway entry.
Since connection attempts occur automatically (and without notice to the Master user)
and failures can take up to 30 seconds, it may be preferable to list the Gateway
connections most likely to be available at the top of the list.
For example, a typical the Gateway may have two entries in the Gateway tab: One with
the internal IP address or DNS name when the Host is in the same domain (regular
connection), and another with the external IP address or DNS name when the Host is
outside the domain (reverse connection).
If a Host computer (for example, a laptop) is routinely moved in and out of the domain
with the Gateway (for example, from office to home and back), you may want to list the
address which is used more often ahead of the one that is used less often.
Screen tab
For Terminal Services Hosts, only user-mode screen capture is available.
 Kernel-mode screen capture: For more information about kernel-mode screen
capture, see Screen tab for regular the Hosts.
 User-mode screen capture: Uses user-mode code to capture screen data. This is
the only option for Terminal Services Hosts.
 User Mode Screen Capture (UMSC): user-mode code supported on Windows XP,
Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, and Windows Server 2008. Runs as 32-bit
x86 user mode code, but can capture either x86 or x64 systems. Only supported
screen capture technology for Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008, and in
Terminal Services sessions (any OS).
When user-mode screen capture is selected, the amount of bandwidth used to capture
and transmit remote desktop screen can be restricted or "throttled" by reconfiguring a
user-mode screen capture profile. The default profile is "High Quality/High Bandwidth"
but other profiles corresponding to smaller bandwidth limits are available. See Bandwidth
throttling for more information.
