How to set up administrator term services on W2k3?

C

charles kuchar

I am setting a new server up and i remotely manage my servers from outside
the ISA server by going into the ISA server which is a licenced terminal
server and then bring up term service client on there and administer the
local network. Works great because i have the administrative terminal
services on the other W2k servers. However, when i went to install terminal
services on my W2k3 server i was never given the option of installing the
administrative type. All it did was installed a licenced version that said
it would quit in 120 days. Or was that what it meant when it said i would
get reduced functionallity in 120 days? all it would do then is the
administrative portion? So i need to just go back and re install it?
Help!!! charlie

Terminology has changed in 2003:

What was called TS in Remote Administration mode in W2K is now
called Remote Desktop for Administration. You don't have to
install it, but you must enable it (in Control Panel - System).
What was called TS in Application mode in W2K is now called
Terminal Services in 2003. That is obviously what you have
installed.

So: uninstall TS, enable RD, and you're all set.

Terminal server admin mode has a different name in server 2003, it is now called Remote Desktop for Administration and it is installed by default. It is, however, disabled. To enable it go to the remote tab of the systmes properties screen and from there select Allow Users to Connect Remotely to This Compueter. I believe that you will have to uninstall terminal server in applicaiton mode (this is now just called Terminal Server) through Add/ Remove Programs before you can enable Remote Desktop for Administration.
