Sharing my Hard disk on Win2000pro and terminal service log on

[Owotuyi Adeyinka Yemi]

Hi,

I would appreciate if somebody can tell me what's wrong!

(1) I can't see the sharing option when I right clicked
to share the hard on a machine and to my utter
conternation, I shared another HDD on another machine
running thasame OS(win2000pro). why I the sharing option
missing in the one I cannot Share?

(2)I have configured two of my client for terminal service
by installing the terminal service client on their
machine. However, I want to log on to those machine from
the server to manage their desktop without running the
stairs. Is it that the server cannot be used for my remote
connection? I have gone to the terminal service manager on
the Server, Clicked on the action menu but found out that
the subsequent options were not highligted( the remote
control, disconnected, send message, status,connect to all
server,end process)were not activated

Somebody must respond to this. And I bless that person in
advance?
Cheers

The terminal services client works in the opposite way you
are trying to work. It allows those client machines to
connect to your server. It does _not_ allow you to
connect to those clients to control those computers. If
those computers are Windows XP, you can use Remote Desktop
to connect to manage those computers in the way you trying.

Hello Yemi, Harris is right...Terminal Services client is used to logon to TS Server,you can control all the clients who are logged on to the TS Server from TS manager...but client machines should have current RDP connection for Remote control and you have to logon to respective server either by TS Client or on Console to remote control all the RDP Connections to that particular TS Server.(information on question 2...i cannot understand question no.1...if you can explain it to me..may be i can help you in that also).
have fun......sunny
