Guest CLJones Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 Hello everyone, I'm new here & have found Microsoft forums are the best place to get help with problems that really stump me. Basically, we have a TS set up on server 2003 (sorry, I know this is a 2008 forum), but the principles should generally be the same. Our users, when they log in, have a clock program that sometimes disappears off the screen & is no longer visible, yet is still running. This program is only displayed in the system tray as there is nothing in the task bar. When you right click on the program, you are given no move option (nor when you right click on the system tray icon). My thoughts on solving this problem were to write a batch file that kills the process & re-opens it (therefore ensuring it is displayed on screen at the beginning of a session). The problem with this solution is that I know no way of executing a script without resetting the session (which would make this solution pointless as the program would be restarted anyway). If anyone can think of a better solution to this problem, or if anyone knows if it is possible to run a script at the beginning of a continuation of a remote session, please share! I really appreciate your help, Charles Jones
Guest Ramasamy Pullappan [MSFT] Posted October 11, 2008 Posted October 11, 2008 Re: TS 2003 Window Display Issue If you know the frequency at which the clock disappearing problem occurs, then, may be you can write a service that will simply restart the application according to the expected time period of failure, instead of tearing down and recreating the entire session...

Guest CLJones Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 Re: TS 2003 Window Display Issue Ah, yes, good call. The problem is that the clocks disappear at seemingly random intervals, though a service to restart the application every couple of hours is not a bad idea at all. Thank you for the thought Ramasamy!
