Not Best Practice

[Guest msumner]

Ok not best practice...

 

I am planning to set up TS on a domain controller - I think I did everything

correct - set up license server, activated it, but am unable to open TS

Manager. There is a window opened, but it is opened minimized and there is

no way to maximize/restore it.

 

In my License server listinging it shows "Existing Windows 2000 Server -

Terminal Services Cal Token" Do I need to uninstall TS and try again?

 

I want to test if TS is my best solution for a group of remote users to

access the network applications.

Do you have any other machine that you can use as atest box? Even a desktop

machine will do, just increase RAM to accomodate.

 

Anyway,

 

the 2000 tokens there are not yor issue - those are supposed to be there.

 

What version of Windows are you running? Anything show up in the event logs

when you launch TS Manager?

Does not solve your issue, but am curious if you can open TS Manager from

another box.

Have you tried access TS Manager from XP machine with admin tools installed?

Also, TS is not hard to install...have you tried installing it again? Did

you have antivirus on when you installed?

Check if this helps:

 

Terminal Services Administration tool starts minimized and can't be

maximized
