Overview of Terminal Services Manager

You can use Terminal Services Manager to view information about and monitor users, sessions, and processes on terminal servers running Windows Server® 2008 or Windows Server® 2003. You can also perform certain administrative tasks; for example, you can disconnect or log off users from their Terminal Services sessions.

Terminal Services Manager is only available in Server Manager if the Terminal Services role is installed on the computer. In addition, when you use Terminal Services Manager in Server Manager, you can only monitor the terminal server on which you are running Server Manager; you cannot monitor additional terminal servers, and terminal server groups are not available.
