Guest ThomasAJ Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 I want to test a third party software and need to 'Turn Off' TS temporarily. Can it be turned off/on without having to reconfigure, enter licence info again etc. Of course there would be no users using TS at the time. -- Regards Tom
Guest Vera Noest [MVP] Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 Re: Can TS be Turned Off/On on W2003 - easily. No, you can't toggle Terminal Services, you have to install / uninstall it. And with TS, all user applications. _________________________________________________________ Vera Noest MCSE, CCEA, Microsoft MVP - Terminal Server TS troubleshooting: http://ts.veranoest.net *----------- Please reply in newsgroup -------------* =?Utf-8?B?VGhvbWFzQUo=?= <ThomasAJ@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote on 12 aug 2008: > I want to test a third party software and need to 'Turn Off' TS > temporarily. > > Can it be turned off/on without having to reconfigure, enter > licence info again etc. > > Of course there would be no users using TS at the time.
Guest Soo Kuan Teo [MSFT] Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 Re: Can TS be Turned Off/On on W2003 - easily. If you just want to prevent user login remotely, then you can disable remote desktop connection, run sysdm.cpl in a command shell, its in the Remote Tab. -- This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

Guest jolteroli Posted August 17, 2008 Posted August 17, 2008 Re: Can TS be Turned Off/On on W2003 - easily. Hey Jeff. As far as we know, the TSAppCompat boolean value correlates directly to the VER_SUITE_TERMINAL bit in OSVERSIONINFOEX.wSuiteMask. At startup the TSAppCompat value is read from the registry by ntoskrnl and gets mapped via the KUSER_SHARED_DATA page to every user process. However, the word at +02D0 in the page 7FFE0000 is stuffed into OSVERSIONINFOEX.wSuiteMask by ntdll!RtlGetVersion. We sometimes use this fact, to install balky apps that won't install in terminal sessions, though they can run in a TS environment. By the way: tsappcmp.dll calls kernel32!VerifyVersionInfo which ends in a call to ntdll!RtlGetVersion to determine the licensing-mode. *choke* *caught* Nevertheless you'll be right Jeff, things often are more wired in the Windows-World. But may be it's worth a try... Cheers -jolt "Jeff Pitsch" <jeff@jeffpitschconsulting.com> schrieb im Newsbeitrag news:ecs5qUU$IHA.3380@TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... > Unfortunately it's not that simple.

Guest Jeff Pitsch Posted August 17, 2008 Posted August 17, 2008 Re: Can TS be Turned Off/On on W2003 - easily. Ok So your including a reboot into this? I dont think that was mentioned last time. It may be that simple then as the reboot would take care of reconfiguration (or at least should). I hope your right cause that would be much simpler than going through the wizard every time to enable/disable TS. :) -- Jeff Pitsch Microsoft MVP - Terminal Services "jolteroli" <jolt1976@gmx.net> wrote in message news:%238oAKjFAJHA.4992@TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl... > Hey Jeff. > > As far as we know, the TSAppCompat boolean value correlates directly to > the VER_SUITE_TERMINAL bit in OSVERSIONINFOEX.wSuiteMask.
