Hi, I am looking for a method to restart a remote server as soon as the server is not accessible via port 3389 during a specific amount of time. How can I check right from the remote server: "is my port 3389 still reachable or not?". Or are there different, even more common tasks to get the same effect? Thanks for your input. Patrick

Hello, I am planning on moving to Terminal Service Server 2003. I currently use Windows 2000 and Windows 2003. We have different versions of MS Office for different staff. How can I launch the right version of office for the right person? Do I need to install every copy of MS Office on the Terminal Server or just one of every Edition? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Hi, I have been using Windows Server for storing Macintosh's files for years. Some day the Server 2000 failed, I installed Windows server 2000 on the another machine. and then restored the files. But I found that the InDesign with the linked graphic eps files has been broken, I have to re-link again, pretty annoying. Even I installed the Windows server 2003 with the same ip address, the same Server Name, the same shared paths as previous server, and then isolate that Server machine from the domain network by another network swith, and then restored the files. When I open the InDesign files, it prompt me to re-link the attached eps graphic files, but …

Hi When the user logs onto their PC, the script then logs them onto a Terminal Server session. I'd like to make sure there is nothing on the PC desktop, and only 'Printer' icon on the Start Menu. Any programs should be run via the Terminal Server. Is there a 'best way' to do this? Thanks Simoen

Hello, I just received an e-mail from the Partner's program about a "Call to Action" in respect with troublesome issues with Windows Server 2008 that concerns me as for a new client which is interested in buying a new Windows Server to conduct his business. As stated: "Windows Server 2008 has a mechanism to prevent or discourage legacy versions of software from installing and/or running that you do not want to support on this platform." There will be other issues as these workstations are presently operating on XP Professional, and are running Office 2003 application, and intends to operate a CRM application and Quick Book Accounting.

Hi - I can't boot up my XP Home today - it hangs after I click my User icon, and never reads "Loading ..." Yesterday it installed a Windows automatic update when I turned it off in the morning. Anyone had any similar problems? I"ve started up, pressing F8 to get in Safe Mode, and then I've tried "Last known good configuration", but think I tried that after too many restart attempts, because it made no difference. I"ve tried "System Restore Point" from 2 days ago, but that "failed". Next, I will try to remove yesterday's Update Any ideas?

I am a little confused by server terminalogy. With Terminal Sservices, you have to have TS CAL's and it provides the ability to run applications on the server. That's good and positive and I understand the reasoning and advantages. The other case is RemoteApps. RAs let you run applications and they appear to be running on the clients workstation. This also requires CALs. The distinction between TS and RA's is less clear. They seem the same. OK but what if the only requirement is access to files on the server. Execution is on the clients workstation, with his own application that accesses files on the server. In the intranet environment that is simp…

Re: Automated System Recovery [X-post to WinXP General] System Restore's Restore Points do NOT back-up any data; cf. http://bertk.mvps.org/html/filesfolders.html When SP3 (and most other updates) is installed, a Restore Point will be created automatically. However, it is not necessarily a wise idea to "undo" the install of SP3 via using that Restore Point.
