Guest LVDave Posted August 18, 2007 Posted August 18, 2007 I have a service-like java app that I used to run on an XP system, but to consolidate machines, I've moved the java app to a Win2K3 server. The app tends to die quite a bit, so I need to be able to access it via TS/RDP thru a vpn OR from the server console to be able to restart it. Under XP, the app ran under an unpriv user account, and if I RDP'ed into the XP system as that user, I saw (or didnt see) the app on the taskbar, and could take action to restart it if necessary. Under Win2K3/TS, this has become a chore.. Assuming I started the app on the console, logged in as the unpriv user, if I logged in via RDP via the same unpriv user, it was obvious I was looking at another session, not the console session.. The TS on the server is configured for remote admin mode.. If possible, is there a setting that will configure TS like RDP on WinXP?? Thanks LVDave
Guest Vera Noest [MVP] Posted August 18, 2007 Posted August 18, 2007 Re: Svr2003 TS vs XP RDP.. Check the setting "Allow only a single session per user account" (this is the default), to be automatically connected to your existing session. _________________________________________________________ Vera Noest MCSE, CCEA, Microsoft MVP - Terminal Server TS troubleshooting: http://ts.veranoest.net ___ please respond in newsgroup, NOT by private email ___ =?Utf-8?B?TFZEYXZl?= <LVDave@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote on 18 aug 2007 in microsoft.public.windows.terminal_services: > I have a service-like java app that I used to run on an XP > system, but to consolidate machines, I've moved the java app to > a Win2K3 server.
