Guest yusuf@yeganeh.co.uk Posted July 14, 2007 Posted July 14, 2007 Hi all, Quick question as I cant find any info on this. Is there any way in which you can prevent a/any program detecting it's in a Terminal Server environment? Can't be specific at this stage but it would be extremely helpful to know if say there are only a few places within the OS that the program may look which could possibly be worked around?! Many thanks yus
Guest Vera Noest [MVP] Posted July 14, 2007 Posted July 14, 2007 Re: Stop Applications detecting TS Environment Let me guess: you have a program which refuses to start because it detects that it is running in a TS environment, correct? There are numerous ways for an application to find that out, the recommended technique is by calling the GetSystemMetrics() function, which returns TRUE if the application is running in a remote session and FALSE if the application is running on the console. I don't think you can do much about that. Your best bet is to contact the application vendor / developer and try to solve the issue with them. _________________________________________________________ Vera Noest MCSE, CCEA, Microsoft MVP - Terminal Server TS troubleshooting: http://ts.veranoest.net ___ please respond in newsgroup, NOT by private email ___ yusuf@yeganeh.co.uk wrote on 14 jul 2007 in microsoft.public.windows.terminal_services: > Hi all, > > Quick question as I cant find any info on this. > > Is there any way in which you can prevent a/any program > detecting it's in a Terminal Server environment?
