I want to test a third party software and need to 'Turn Off' TS temporarily.

Can it be turned off/on without having to reconfigure, enter licence info
again etc.

Of course there would be no users using TS at the time.

No, you can't toggle Terminal Services, you have to install /
uninstall it. And with TS, all user applications.

Re: Can TS be Turned Off/On on W2003 - easily.

If you just want to prevent user login remotely, then you can disable remote
desktop connection, run sysdm.cpl in a command shell, its in the Remote Tab.

Re: Can TS be Turned Off/On on W2003 - easily.

You can switch between remote-admin and application mode by the value

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal
Server]!"TSAppCompat"

0: Remote Admin
1: Application Mode

Unfortunately it's not that simple. The many other changes tot he OS are
not taken into affect when you do this. Sorry but it doesn't work like you
think it does.

Re: Can TS be Turned Off/On on W2003 - easily.

Hey Jeff.

As far as we know, the TSAppCompat boolean value correlates directly to the
VER_SUITE_TERMINAL bit in OSVERSIONINFOEX.wSuiteMask. At startup the
TSAppCompat value is read from the registry by ntoskrnl and gets mapped via
the KUSER_SHARED_DATA page to every user process. However, the word at +02D0
in the page 7FFE0000 is stuffed into OSVERSIONINFOEX.wSuiteMask by
ntdll!RtlGetVersion. We sometimes use this fact, to install balky apps that
won't install in terminal sessions, though they can run in a TS environment.

By the way: tsappcmp.dll calls kernel32!VerifyVersionInfo which ends in a
call to ntdll!RtlGetVersion to determine the licensing-mode. *choke*
*caught*

Nevertheless you'll be right Jeff, things often are more wired in the
Windows-World. But may be it's worth a try...

Cheers

-jolt

Re: Can TS be Turned Off/On on W2003 - easily.

Ok So your including a reboot into this? I dont think that was mentioned
last time. It may be that simple then as the reboot would take care of
reconfiguration (or at least should). I hope your right cause that would be
much simpler than going through the wizard every time to enable/disable TS.

0:1, I didn't mention ... ;) If Thomas had replied/complained, I had told
him. Guess he got it right.
