I have a user that needs to reset sessions on a terminal server. The problem
is that when he runs tsadmin.exe on his workstation it just puts the
program on the taskbar but does nothing else. The client is windows XP Pro,
the server is win 2003. It had been working. Then it started doing this
thing with just putting the icon on the taskbar. I wiped out his profile on
the workstation and then tsadmin worked for about 2 weeks with no problem
and now it is back to doing the same thing.

I know I can wipe out his profile and fix the problem but that is a big pain
as he has alot of other settings that it wipes out when you do that.

Thanks

Does it work if he right-clicks he icon on the taskbar and selects
"Restore"? I see now that the tsadmin saves window settings so if you
minimize tsadmin and the close it the windows will be minimized on
taskbar when you start it again.

Logged in as the user, go to this registry key:

HKCU\\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Terminal Server
\TSADMIN

Delete the "Placement" value and exit Regedit.

Now run the Terminal Services Manager and you should be able to
see it.

The problem is that at some point the TSM window position settings
were saved in a high-resolution session; with it running in a low-
resolution session, those values position it off the viewable
screen.
