In this scenario, no one will ever wiggle a mouse or tap a key.
So how does this ever work? It can't be much of a script if it has to complete in 2 minutes. Or does MS expect that the maintainance will always be done by some kind of input services. I don't think you can count on your average bank teller machines to all run terminal servers ... > If this is already clear to all, sorry for covering old ground.No need to > apologize.
