There is no problem running winvnc as a service on windows terminal server as long as you install it from the console. and for the first start, start it from the console. After that winvnc run's fine as a service, and anyone can connect to the service and log on to the console. Otherwise the ts connection must be active and winvnc needs to be ran as an app. As soon as the ts connection closes, the vnc connection closes, even if the ts didn't log off just disconnect.
We use vnc on ts all the time for training purposes.

That's the way VNC works with windows, it only attaches to an active 'screen'. If you can have a person login as root on the console and run vnc you would have the same sort of access as you are looking for i think. But running VNC as a service on TS wont really work as there isn't a 'screen' to connect too..( unless someone has made changes in Xvnc that I'm unaware of ) Unix is different of course.. As a side note I've done remote access to TS via dialup and not had any problems. i bet its not a TS 'bug' as you suggest but something more related to the RAS side of things.. > > Message: 1 > Date: Thu, 20 Jun 2002 16:58:08 +0530 > From: Girish <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Organization: Oracle Solution Services, India > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: VNC On Terminal Server - URGENT HELP Pl. > Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Hi, > > Am having trouble accessing one of the Windows Terminal Server via > VNC.We hv a customer request for installing Apps on a Terminal Server & > the > connectivity is by a dialup to that server.
