16-bit colour in Win2K server Remote Desktop session?

rich_g85 · 17 Jul 2007 at 14:16

Hi,
Is it possible to have an RDP (Remote Desktop) session to a Windows 2000 server in more than 8-bit colour?

If so, how do I allow it? I've tried specifying 16-bit colour in the Remote Desktop client but I still only get an 8-bit session.

Thanks,
Richard

Nope, Win2k TS only supportd 256 colours (8bit).

Thanks, just one more question - if I have a 2000 Server CD and 5 CALs, what do I need to do to 'convert' those CALs to Server 2003 CALs?

Buy 5 Windows 2003 CAL's. Microsoft don't do upgrades for server products any more, only desktop opertaing systems...
