Change Terminal Services Mode

[bwgreen]

I have a Windows 2003 backup Domain Controller and someone switched the terminal Services mode from Remote Administration to Application mode, and I can't find a way to switch it back.

Does anyone know how this can be done?

Thanks,

Brian

Uninstall TS.

Can this be done through the Add/Remove Programs item, and without having to rebuild the server?

Yes.

You may need a reboot after the uninstall though... also uninstall TS Licensing if that is installed as well

OK, I uninstalled, rebooted, reinstalled, and rebooted - same problem. Looking at my other servers, Terminal Server is not installed at all.

Any other ideas?

Thanks,

Brian

When you go through windows compnents in aDD/remove programs it should prompt you for apllication server or remote adminitration mode. Make sure to use remote administration and that is all there is to it.

hi,
probably I have not understood,
and I am saying trivial things, but I read:
"uninstalled, rebooted, reinstalled"
what have you reinstalled ?

In Ws2003 Remote administration is already installed
when you setup server, you have just to enable remote
desktop in System Properties, Remote.

If in ws2k3 you install TS in system component,
(dislike from W2K), you install (and enable)
the application mode.

If you have installed TS, the setup, did not ask you
(as in W2K): want you administration or application?

I hope to have understood your situation.

bye

I uninstalled and reinstalled Terminal Services. I can try to remove it and see if I can connect, checking the settings in System -> Remote.

The thing is, if all you need it to be able to manage it remotely; you do not need to install anything.

The only thing you need is to check the box on the Remote tab in Computer Properties to allow remote administration.

I tried that - it worked! I can now get to the server from my desk, without having to go into the server room where the A/C is on high!
