Re: Windows XP Pro RDC executable name? For use w/ MSProxy 2.0

Hi Al,

Thank you for your quick reply.

mstsc.exe appears to be the Remote Desktop Client. I'm trying to get
the name of the Remote Desktop server executable, so the Winsock Proxy
Client can map the port it listens on to the external interface of the
proxy server. (It's a little backwards, but this should allow the
'client' machine to accept connections to its RD server, via the proxy
server.)

The properties for the Terminal Services service list "svchost -k
DComLaunch" as the executable. Is this the service that actually
listens on port 3389?

If so, do you know if there is any way to control when this service
starts? The usual Start and Stop buttons on the service's property
page are disabled. I ask because multiple services are launched using
svchost.exe. If I use wspcfg.ini to allow svchost.exe to accept
connections forwarded from port 3389 on the proxy server, there is no
way to control which instance of svchost.exe is bound. Stopping and
restarting the apropriate Terminal Services service would force it to
bind since it was started most recently.

I know this may be hard to follow, but in essence all I'm asking is for
the name of the process that actually listens on port 3389 for incoming
connections from Remote Desktop clients.

Thanks!
