First the terminal server checks for license servers listed in the registry (see Q279561 How to Override the License Server Discovery Process in Windows Server 2003). If one of these license servers can be contacted, discovery ends. Otherwise, for a Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003 domain the terminal server will check with Active Directory for any licensing servers in Enterprise mode, found in the same site. If one is found, and can be contacted, discovery ends.

No. It is not possible to run Terminal Services in Application Server mode on Windows Small Business Server 2003. This is a change from Small Business Server 2000. Running Terminal Services in Application Server mode on a domain controller may present a security risk to your network.

The recommended method to configure Terminal Services Licensing servers for high availability is to install at least two Terminal Services Licensing servers with available Terminal Services CALs. Each server will then advertise in Active Directory as enterprise license servers with regard to the following Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP): Each Terminal Services Licensing server should contain 50 percent of your CALs for load balancing within your environment.

certain times, you may notice that the CSDE terminal servers slow down considerably. This is because of high resource utilization -- for example, a couple of users are running extremely CPU-intensive jobs, and the server's responsiveness is decreased for everyone else. One easy way to combat this problem is by assigning a lower priority to your long-running jobs.

This typically occurs if there is a device between the client and the server that is receiving packets but not passing them on. One way around this problem is to change the MTU size for the network adapter that is being used as a terminal server connection to clients. Ethernet uses a maximum MTU size of 1500. You can start with 500 and then slowly move up until you notice the problem to find the correct value to set

Print jobs created in a session are rendered entirely on the terminal server, using the server-installed printer driver, and raw print data is sent over the Remote Desktop connection to the client. Depending on what you are trying to print, the volume of raw data generated might be very large. How fast the data gets to the client is limited by the speed of the network between client and server. Over dial-up/WAN links, due to the limited amount of bandwidth available, printing might appear slow.

You should back up your Terminal Services Licensing server regularly by using the Windows Backup tool or something similar. Regular backups will help protect your licensing data from accidental loss if your system experiences hardware or storage failure. When backing up a Terminal Server Licensing server, back up both the system state data and the folder in which the Terminal Server Licensing server is installed.

If you are using an OpenWindows cmdtool as your terminal, any escape sequences (such as those produced by cursor keys) will be swallowed up and never reach zsh. Either use shelltool or avoid commands with escape sequences. You can also disable scrolling from the cmdtool pane menu (which effectively turns it into a shelltool). If you still want scrolling, try using an xterm with the scrollbar activated.

In the Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003 operating systems, you can choose one of two security modes: Relaxed Security mode gives users the level of access to system components that was allowed in Windows NT 4.0.

This message can appear because a user trying to log on is not in the Remote Desktop Users group, or because an account has no password. Starting with Windows XP, accessing network resources such as Remote Desktop and file shares requires that you have a password associated with an account. Yes. Terminal Server is working now for you because it is in the grace period.

If you enable auditing of security events, you will see all logon and logoff events in the Security tab of the EventLog on the TS. You can filter and export these events once a month to a tab-delimited textfile for further processing. Or you could make your own, very simple daily logon report by adding a line to your TS-specific login script: echo %username% %clientname% %date% %time% >> %date%_logon.log

There are many ways to retrieve this type of information, all giving slightly different results. If you only need this information on an ad hoc basis, the easiest is probably to type one of the following commands in a command window: query session /counter or query user | find "rdp-tcp#" | find /c " Active " If you are running Windows 2003 on your TS, you can also use the following script (save it as TSSessionCount.
