Guest robin4767 Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 I want to use an application under Windows 2008 Server (64-bit) that uses the computer name as a unique identifier. To have this unique identifier under TS I need to return the username rather than the computername. This is explained under KB190159, but it seems that this is not working for the 64-bit OS. Does this KB article also apply to the 64-bit OS or is there another way to get this to work?
Guest Oliver Schröder Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 Re: Returning username rather than computername in 2008 server Robin, this should work, but for an 32-bit app on 64-bit OS you have to set the flag also in the hive HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\... Put in in both!

Guest robin4767 Posted September 19, 2008 Posted September 19, 2008 Re: Returning username rather than computername in 2008 server Hello Oliver, Thanks for your help, but unfortunately this is not working for me. I have set the flags DWORD to 1f in both hives, but the application still receives the real name of the computer instead of the username that is connected to the terminal.
