Permissions issues on a 2003 Terminal Server

[Guest Tim]

I have a couple of applications that run fine on workstations and even on

other Terminal servers, but regular domain users cannot run them properly on

this one terminal server. One of the applications is Windows Messenger; as a

domain admin, I can run Messenger on any machine that has it installed, and

the domain user I will use as an example here can access Messenger from his

desktop and from other Terminal servers, but from this one server, he is

unable to run it. Is there a permissions trick I need to know when setting

up Messenger or Live Communications on a Terminal server to make sure that

all users are able to access the application?

 

 

Thanks in advance for your help.

Without knowing what the problems are when users try to access these apps,

e.g. what are the errors they see? I cannot recommend a specific solution.

But since this issue exists only on one specific machine, have you tried to

uninstall and reinstall the role?

 

Thx. Alice

It's not that they even see an error; when they attempt to sign in, it keeps

returning them to the sign-in screen. nothing specific shows up in the event

logs either.

 

And please pardon my ignorance, but what do you mean by uninstalling and

reinstalling the role?

You can go to Server Manager and remove Terminal Services - Terminal Server

from the machine, and re-install it again with the default settings. Unless

you don't want to use other custom settings, but it might help with this

specific one.

I thought Server Manager was a Server 2008 component...

That could require re-installing the apps, wouldn't it?

Re: Permissions issues on a 2003 Terminal Server

 

Yes, you are right, Server Manager is a 2008 component. In 2003 there is

only the "Configure this server" dialog that shows up when you logon. But

from there you should be able to do the same thing. You shouldn't have to

reinstall the apps, but if Messenger is the app in question, it shouldn't be

too much trouble to do it.
