Windows Server Forum / Windows NT / Terminal Server / May 2005Special Setup for an Application
I would like to setup an application to run in Terminal Services. I am able to get it to run fine by using RDP files.. However, I would like to accomplish the following - Restrict users to not be able to "disconnect" the application by clicking the X on the title bar. - Even better yet, I would like to not have a title bar. - Automatically use the Users current Windows Credentials and automatically sign in with their user/password. I don't want to have an RDP for each user that would need to be changed each time a user changes their password, nor do I want to require them to put in their password each time. Thanks! "Passthrough authentication" (using Windows credentials to logon to a TS session) is not a native feature of Windows TS. You will need Citrix for that. Getting rid of the title bar also means you need Citrix (this is called "seemless windows"). You cannot completely avoid that users disconnect (they can always just power off their workstation), but you can "hack" the client to get rid of the X-box: Disabling the X box on the Terminal Services client http://terminal.servebeer.com/php/x_box_disable.php -- Vera Noest MCSE,CCEA, Microsoft MVP - Terminal Server http://hem.fyristorg.com/vera/IT *----------- Please reply in newsgroup -------------* "ChrisNA662" <ChrisNA662@<NOBOTS>> wrote on 24 maj 2005: > I would like to setup an application to run in Terminal > Services.

What have others experienced with it? I am only using a specific application for 10 users, so the cost of a citrix setup isn't quite there yet (Although It does slowly push me in the right direction for long term) > "Passthrough authentication" (using Windows credentials to logon to a > TS session) is not a native feature of Windows TS.

There are quite a lot of 3th party add-ons which might provide some of the functionality that you want. Have a look at Patrick Rouse webside with an extensive list of 3th party add-ons. He has cool tooltips with a short description of each add-on: http://www.workthin.com/tsao.htm -- Vera Noest MCSE, CCEA, Microsoft MVP - Terminal Server http://hem.fyristorg.com/vera/IT --- please respond in newsgroup, NOT by private email --- "ChrisNA662" <ChrisNA662@<NOBOTS>> wrote on 24 maj 2005 in microsoft.public.windowsnt.terminalserver.applications: > Cool thanks for that.. > [quoted text clipped - 39 lines] >> > >> > Thanks! Thanks for the link! Basically I need an Application Launcher of some kind. I have an application that I want to run this way, and seems to work great, except when you close the application, it doesn't close the remote session. (It works properly with any other application). So I am thinking if I get the user to an "Application Launcher" that has an Exit or Quit option, when they click it on the launcher that'd fix the problem. Plus if I want to bundle more apps, I can easily on the one... Thanks!!! > I haven't used that myself, so I don't know.

Well after doing more research, doesn't look like this is going to be a problem.. I think I was closing too quick to test it. If I left the app open for a minute it will close immediatly... (Which in the real world, how many ppl are going to open, login, then close?) > I haven't used that myself, so I don't know.

Then you have run into this "feature" (described by Citrix, but applies to rdp as well): Published Application Sessions Take 60 Seconds to Log Off when Windows 2003, Service Pack 1 is Installed http://support.citrix.com/kb/entry.jspa?entryID=6034 -- Vera Noest MCSE, CCEA, Microsoft MVP - Terminal Server http://hem.fyristorg.com/vera/IT --- please respond in newsgroup, NOT by private email --- "ChrisNA662" <ChrisNA662@<NOBOTS>> wrote on 25 maj 2005 in microsoft.public.windowsnt.terminalserver.applications: > Well after doing more research, doesn't look like this is going > to be a problem..

Well like I said.. how many people will be doing this in the real world (hopefully not much when I deploy it!!!) Thanks!!!! > Aaah, I understand.
