Hello,

I know that most of you guys are waiting for the remote desktop test accounts, which are in the queue of my system.

I am having a small issue of installing the terminal server on my windows 2003 it keeps failing all the time, can anyone help me in this case.

This is what i get after installation:


Please assist on what the problem would be.

If the person does this for me i will give him free remote desktop

The Terminal Services service should already be installed and
running *before* you install Terminal Services, because it is
needed for remote Desktop for Administration, which comes pre-
installed with the Base OS.
So can you test this: when TS is uninstalled, can you enable Remote
Desktop for Administration (in System - properties - Remote) and
actually use it and make a connection to the server with an rdp
client?
If that isn't possible either, then you know at least that there is
something wrong with the Base OS. But I don't know what, nor what
to do about it, other than blowing the current OS away and install
from scratch.

Also are you running a security suite like Norton? If so disable it and try to install and load the terminal service. Security settings may be foobar.

nop no security suite aswell.

I can access remote desktop without any issues, i am trying to activate the terminal server licencing aswell so i can have many number of clients using remote desktop at a given time.

But i guess i am getting a new server now.
