How to restrict terminal client by build number?

[Yuri Palagin]

Hello everybody,

A win2k+sp4 terminal server in a win2k domain environment.

Can I somehow restrict my terminal clients to use only the XP version of the
client (build 2600), not previous versions? My testing shows that the w2k
version of the client (build 2195) in many cases does not delete user
printers from the server, resulting in many orphaned printers with the
session numbers already acquired by other sessions, which I think causes the
Print Spooler service to hang or stop. It is very important for my users to
have their printers in their terminal sessions to get to work correctly!

If w2k does not allow for that, maybe w2003 does?

Thank you for any links and ideas,

ypal

Hi,

use TSVER from
http://terminal.servebeer.com

download the Terminal services client version limiter
http://terminal.servebeer.com/php/links.php

it looks tricky but it is not:

make your own client version number:
http://terminal.servebeer.com/php/change_client_build.php

disable the "X" to prevent users from disconnecting:
