A server-client system is configured to automatically detect and install peripheral devices, such as printers, scanners, etc. that are attached to a client. The server is configured to detect the peripheral device and install a driver that is compatible with the peripheral device. The I/O queue created for the peripheral device is redirected to the port to which the peripheral device is connected.

Automatic detection and installation of client peripheral devices by a server

Techniques relating to managing terminal services scenarios are described. In one instance, a process establishes a new terminal services session having a session configuration consistent with a permitted terminal services session configuration. The process also monitors whether the new terminal services session configuration remains consistent with the permitted terminal services session configuration.

In a multi-user server-client environment, a printer can be attached to a client computer. The server selects a corresponding printer driver to install on the server in order to allow applications executing on the server to print to the printer attached to the remote client computer. The selection process allows the server to intelligently identify closely matching printer drivers in the event that a particular printer driver that the server is notified of is not available for installation.
