Enterprise Terminal Design Template (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)
1/6/2010
You can use the Enterprise Terminal design template as a starting point for many different types of enterprise devices. The following list shows examples of some enterprise devices:
- Self-service kiosks
- Retail point-of-sale (POS) terminals
- Electronic payment terminals
- Windows Embedded CE powered thin clients
Overview
With the Windows Embedded CE OS Design Wizard in Platform Builder, you can select the Enterprise Terminal design template as a starting point for an enterprise device with a Remote Desktop Connection client enabled by Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP).
After you create the initial form of the operating system (OS) design, you can customize the design to fit your needs. Because of the variety of devices supported by this design template, the Catalog items that you use to configure your OS design may vary.
For more information about how to develop a thin client, see Developing a Thin Client.
Security Issues
For information about security issues that can affect an Enterprise Terminal OS design, see the following topics:
- Authentication Services Security
- COM and DCOM Security
- Cryptography Security
- Developing Secure ActiveX Controls
- Internet Explorer Embedded Security
- MSMQ Security
- OBEX Security
- SOAP Security
- Windows Media Player Control Security
- Windows Networking API/Redirector Security
Enterprise Terminal Catalog Items
The Enterprise Terminal design template is in the Thin Client category in the Windows Embedded CE OS Design Wizard.
By default, Platform Builder includes a specific set of Catalog items in an OS design when you create the OS design based on the Enterprise Terminal design template.
After you finish the initial OS design by using the Windows Embedded CE OS Design Wizard, you can add other Catalog items to your OS design. For more information, see Adding an Item from the Catalog.

Included Catalog Items
The following components are included in the Enterprise Terminal design template created by using the Windows Embedded CE OS Design Wizard.
Default Catalog items that are included in the design template do not appear in the wizard. Recommended Catalog items appear as selected in the wizard. You can remove these default recommendations by clearing the associated check boxes in the wizard, if it is necessary.
