We have an old VB application running on windows 2000 terminal server that
will not run on a machine with 1 gig of ram or more. The server has 2 gig,
so we use the maxmem switch in boot.ini to make the ram look like 997 meg.
It would be nice to do this on the RDP session, so the session only sees 997
meg, but the server itself uses the entire 2 gig.
Is there a way to do that?
Thank you.

No, that's not possible, at least not with native Windows TS.
There are 3rd party add-ons which can do this, I believe. Check out
