Thanks for mentioning it, I have never looked into it. I assume it requires more server or networking infrastructure than we have. We have Win7 Pro main machine and XP laptops right now. And very normal residential type router.
That's all you need. Windows 7 Pro and a basic residential router. Just need to open port 3389 for Remote Desktop or use a higher port for more security.
The main advantage of RDP over LMI is what? I've used RDP and LMI and VNC in my own work and considered them all pretty similar, they all present the remote screen. Are you saying RDP lets you set your screen resolution independently of the host machine's resolution? Like in my example above, a 1280x800 laptop could drive a 2560x1440 screen? Seems like black magic.
That's exactly what it does. I have no monitors hooked up to my server yet I use it as 5760x1080 through RDP. The desktop adjusts to the resolution of your computer. LMI is also capable of changing the resolution but it doesn't work as well as RDP. Also a lot of the pro features of LMI are standard on RDP. VNC/LMI are "dumb" protocols in the sense they just update the screen. RDP is an "aware" protcol which knows only to update certain regions that are being used. It's more efficient than LMI.
