Re: Remote Web Workspace.....

Hi Dave,

There are 3 remote sessions available on the SBS computer. They are known as
session 0, 1, and 2. If they are all in use, then another session cannot be
initiated. But session 0 can be 'taken over'.

Here's best practice:

a) The most important administrator should use session 0 (the console
session).
b) You log into session 0 in RWW by clicking the 'options' link prior to
clicking 'connect', and select the the option for this.
c) If, when you log onto session 0 for an adminsitrative task, and there are
other sessions running (but disconnected), then close those sessions by
logging them off. You do this from Terminal Services Manager (you start menu
on the SBS). Otherwise, strange things can happen if the other sessions have
management consoles open.
c) When you're done with your session, do not disconnect. Make sure you log
off.

If you're using TS (RDP) to log onto the server directly (as opposed to
going through RWW), then use this: mstsc /console from the Run box.

Hello Les,

Good advice!! I just changed his template, he'll probably never notice.

One other thing that frustrates me from time to time is that I was just
disconnected (by a network issue) from remote desktop and now I cannot log
in again to the Terminal server because it has 'exceeded the maximum
number
of allowed connections'

This is fair enough but is there a way of resetting this remotely or must
I
trudge down and sort it out locally.

Thanks again,

Dave

Hi Dave,

Explain to the boss that using an Administrator level account is used
only
for administration tasks, not for everyday use. If he want's the User
experience, then he needs a user level account.

Change his every-day account to User level by applying the User template
to
his account using the wizard in the Users pane of standard management.
Then,
create a new account, applying the Administrator template. He can then
use
his user account for every-day work, and log in with the administrative
account for those occassions where he wants to be powerful enough to
unwittingly make changes that will earn you more money ;-).

A compromise might be Power User level for his every-day account. This
will
enable him to log onto the server remotely and do things like create new
users, shares, reset passwords, sniff around in users folders, etc. That
should satisfy him (other than the politics of not having the word
Administrator attached to his account).
