cound not start terminal services service on local computer

[Guest royngai]

After migrated from microsoft win 2000 sbs to win 2003 sbs, I can found a

terminal service existed on the system services but it cannot be started.

When I try to force it start, it showed an error message, "Could not start

terminal services service on local computer, Error 2, the system cannot find

the Specified." Also I cannot found any option for me to install the

terminal services on the setup program of win 2003 sbs CD. Can anybody help

me on this issues? Thank you very much.

Ah....you cannot run TS on SBS2003. All you can use is Remote Desktop, for

admin purposes only.

 

Frankly, it was always a really bad idea to have TS running on your sole

domain controller/DNS server/Exchange server. This is why most IT people are

pleased that the "feature" has been removed in this version. If you want

TS, you'll need to buy another server for it & TS CALs.

 

Note however that SBS2003 comes with Remote Web Workplace, which may help

your users out if you don't want to buy another server, if you have XP Pro

workstations.

 

Note that the best place for SBS questions is

microsoft.public.windows.server.sbs.
