G Guest Jul 29, 2004 #1 Is there any way of upgrading the rdp 5.0 to 5.2 in windows 2000? and what are the diffeences?
V Vera Noest [MVP] Jul 30, 2004 #2 On the client, yes, Just download the latest client, version 5.2.3790 from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=a8255ffc- 4b4a-40e7-a706-cde7e9b57e79&DisplayLang=en On the server: no. The only way is to upgrade to Windows Server 2003. 5.2 gives a lot of new features, like redirection of local drives, COM ports, high colour, etc.

G Guest Jul 30, 2004 #3 ok, so can I use a 5.2.3790 client to connect to a rdp 5.0 2000 server or will it have to connect to the same version number - i.e 2003 server 5.2?

V Vera Noest [MVP] Jul 31, 2004 #4 The 5.2.3790 client is backwards compatible with all versions of Terminal Server. You can connect to Windows NT 4.0 TSE, W2K TS, XP and 2003 TS. But you will only get the full set of features when connecting to 2003 TS.
