A new Windows Terminal Server will be in place between the Wednesday and Thursday. An exact time of the update is not available as it depends on the internet provider of the end-user. The new Terminal Server will offer several innovations including:

  • 16 CPU Cores
  • 64GB of RAM
  • Windows 2008
  • 64bit mathematical applications (Maple, Mathematica, Matlab)
  • Updated software for everyday use, as it is available on the new Windows desktops.
  • Visual Studio 2008

You will automatically be redirected to the new terminal server if you connect to

wts.maths.ox.ac.uk 

The old Windows Terminal Server (pandora) will still be available as a backup for a short period of time on

wts1.maths.ox.ac.uk

Please note, that due to a limitation in the current version of the Linux Terminal Server Client (rdesktop) you need to select a normal RDP (as opposed to RDPv5) session when connecting to the new Terminal Server. We hope to resolve this issue in the near future.
