Craig;
I have Terminal Services disabled, I have no need for it.
Since I have it disabled I can't answer your question about
[[....some sort of expandable list...]]
If you have no need for Remote Assistance, Fast User Switching or Remote
Desktop,
disable the Terminal Services service.
===========================
Start | Run | Type: services.msc | OK |
Scroll down to Terminal Services
Terminal Services
[[Allows multiple users to be connected interactively to a machine as well
as the display of desktops and applications to remote computers. The
underpinning of Remote Desktop (including RD for Administrators), Fast User
Switching, Remote Assistance, and Terminal Server.]]
[[The terminal server uses by default port 3389 to listen for incoming
remote control connections.]]
[[Allows remote login to the local computer. This service is required for
Fast User Switching, Remote Desktop Server and Remote Assistance. You will
not be able to view who is logged on to a particular computer by viewing the
"user" tab located in the Task Manager if this service is disabled. For
security reasons, disable this unless you specifically require its
functionality. For some reason, start this service to install Norton 2003.]]
[[*If you don't use any of these features, Disable this service. This
service could pose a security threat as well.*]]
[[Windows XP comes with Terminal Services, IIS, and RAS that can open holes
into your operating system. It's often convenient to enable Terminal
Services to allow remote control functions for the help desk or
administering servers, but you have to make sure it's configured correctly.
There are also several malicious programs that can run quietly as services
without anyone knowing. Be aware of all the services that all run on your
servers and audit them periodically.]]

Wes,
Thanks for the quick reply. What I am trying to understand is that under
My Network Places | Entire Network, there is Microsoft Terminal Services.
Is this suposed to be some sort of expandable list like "Microsoft
Windows Network" is? If so, how do members get added? Better yet, where
is there any specific info on it?
