I don't really know, but theorizing (i.e., talking out of my a**): If it does unbind all protocols, a momentary network glitch or false positive would cause everyone to loose their session connection. By not doing that, users would just have a momentary stall. So I can see why disabling it might be a good idea, on a Term Server. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
