 The Linux bonding driver provides a method for aggregating multiple network interfaces into a single logical bonded interface.The behavior of the bonded interfaces depends upon the mode; generally speaking, modes provide either hot standby or load balancing services. Additionally, link integrity monitoring may be performed. You have to install ifenslave, it is a tool to attach and detach slave network interfaces to a bonding device. sudo apt-get install ifenslave Configuring your network interfaces and modules You need to edit  /etc/network/interfaces  file and make it looks like sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces Add the following (This is just example enter you ip details) # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5). # The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback # The primary network interface auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static ad...

Multiple concurrent remote desktops can be run and managed within a single window using the MMC Remote Desktops snap-in. This may either be snapped into the MMC or launched from the command-line or a Run dialog by typing: tsmmc.msc Once launched, right click on the Remote desktops item in the tree in the left hand panel and select Add a new connection from the menu. Once selected the Add New Connection dialog will appear as follows: In this dialog enter the IP address or computer name of the remote system together with the User name and the name to be assigned to this connection (this is essentially the name by which this connection will be listed and administered inside the Remote Desktops snap-in). For an administrative session (as opposed to a virtual session) set the Connect with /admin box.  Click OK to add the session to the snap-in. Once added, the session will appear in the left hand panel under Remote Desktops. Repeat these steps to add connections to any addi...

When the Remote Desktop Client is exited by pressing the 'X' on the control panel the remote session continues to run on the server even though no client is connected.

This will close down the remote desktop session and close the remote desktop client.

With Remote Desktop access implemented it is often useful to find out at times who is logged into a system. This can be achieved using the quser command-line tool. To obtain details of logged in users on a local system simply run quser at a command prompt or in a Run dialog: C:\Users\Administrator> quser /server:winserver-2 C:\Users\Administrator> quser

The Options>> button displayed on the initial screen of the Remote Desktop Client provides six tabs, each containing a range of configuration options: General - Allows login credentials to be configured and session information to be saved. Display - Configures the resolution and color settings to be used when displaying the remote desktop on the local system. Local Resources - Specifies which local resources (sound, disk drives, printers etc) are to be made accessible to the remote system during the Remote Desktop session. This page also provides options to control the situations under which special key combinations such as Ctrl-Alt-Del are interpreted by the local or remote systems. Programs - Allows specified programs to be automatically invoked each time a remote sessions is established. Experience - Controls which desktop features are enabled or disabled for the Remote Desktop session. For example, over a slow dial-up connection it is unwise to have the desktop back...
