Hi !

How to enable terminal services W2K via DOS command ???

For automatic starting i've put the start key to 2

But after i can't lunch the service like this : NET START "Terminal Services"

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TermService]
"Start"=dword:00000002

To all over W2KSRV the services "Terminal server" are " ON " but they are not ACTIVED.

For activate this you must select in Add / Remove programs --> Add/Remove Windows Components --> Terminal Services --> Details --> ( Check only ) Enable Terminal Services and Reboot.

That's all , I want do it by Command Line ! ( sorry for my english ... )

Maybe you should try with Sysocmgr.exe :

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?...b;en-us;Q222444

I think it's very good idea , and it's The solution !

I test It , and if it's Ok , i post the complete command to do this.

Thanks DarkAgony

I have the solution ! but i write little script to do that ( and other ... )

Ex : Terminal services Enable + Telnet Enable ( Disable Event Connection, no default port, Reactive Guest, etc ... )

Very Soon !!!

But if you want test .

Do that by echo command to batch file and lunch IT !!!



# [1] - " AUTO START SERVICES"

echo Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00> c:\TS.reg
echo [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TermService]>> c:\TS.reg

REGEDIT /S C:\TS.REG

# [3] - " DEL TMP FILES "

DEL /Q c:\TS.REG
DEL /Q c:\bootlog~.txt

# Ps: Add " /r " at the end of line if you to disable reboot ( work fine only after reboot )




EXEMPLE BATCH FILE NAMED : TS.BAT

You can compile this batch to Program, for exemle like this tool :

BAT2EXE ( 6.1 Kb )

ex: bat2exe <name of batch file>

Thats'all ! ( Thx to DarkAgony )

Great work both of you, sorry Nikscap that I didn't get back to answer this post on Astalavista.net

can i ask what this service does - and what for you use it ?

But what if WIn was installed from CD? Then how will you install the service with this batch file?

You will have to upload the needed files if the server was installed via cd.

Copy the files that begin with TSCxxxx.xx_ from the I386 directory of the win2k cd and place them in winnt\inf\i386.

They total just under 5MB.

Then run the commands specified in this post, reboot and Wala!


It's even easier for Win2k3, change one registry setting and boom! No additional files or reboot needed. The key is..

---snip------
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Terminal Server]
"fDenyTSConnections"=dword:00000000
"TSEnabled"=dword:00000001

---snip-------

oh yeah, this also enables TS in XP.

damn that was straight ripped from coromcomputers

You mean, there is no need to install or upload any additional files on XP too??? Will the victim notice that Terminal services have been activated and in that case, how will he notice?

WHy is reboot neccessary?? Can't we just start TS.exe manually???

I know this isnt the thread for it, but lack of permission to create a new thread.

Sorta kinda on a long strech is related.


But where are the vpn settings,I run a vpn connection on this pc(xphome) and would like to see where my vpn settings are at.

thnx Nikscap for you´re great post

Very interesting post m8,

Gonna check this one out!

Extreme.. The reboot is needed to get the service to run right (On Win2k Server only). No reboot is needed for XP or Windows 2003.

If you enable TS(aka remote desktop) on XP, accessing via tsc.exe will log the current user out.

Accessing Win2k or WIn2k3 server can be seen if the admin looks at terminal server manager, otherwise you have a separate desktop.

On windows XP and Windows server 2003 you do not need to upload any additional files or reboot, only have to do it on Windows 2000.

I've been trying off and on to see if I could get all the parts of the server TERM Server program to run on XP, but have not had success yet or even know if it is possible

u can also add new user with the commands !

net user USERNAME PASS /add
net localgroup administrators admin /add



perhabs somebody want to know this cmd

can sombody upload the failes that you have to add in de directory winnt\inf\i386 please

put it in a zip or rar or somthing like that please i don't know where to find theses files

thanks

Thanks NicsCap, great and usefull info

Keep up the good work.

i have winxp running
but when i logged in here
and then on another computer connect with terminal service to this computer
i get an msg that the other user must log out...

how can i deactivate this?

thankz, ,very interesting

I plan to download additional files for TS with webdownloader.. So they must all be packed in one EXE file, so when it is executed, it unpacks all those packed files into appropriate directory.. And it all needs to be done silently..
So what tool should I pack these files with?

thx dude 4 great work & share

extreme: that can be done with winrar. just make a self extracting exe. You can make it run silent with the advanced options.

Thanks Skidoo32, it helped..
A friend told me that you would need to install Terminal services + Terminal Licence via components install so it would work properly..
So, with these commands for regedit we assume that TS is already installed, but disabled, correct??? So if TS is not installed, then running reg commands won't do anything...
Second.. By copying needed files into winnt\inf\i386 do we still need to install TS, or copying files is counted as "Install"...???

You don't need to install terminal service license server. Just use the bat file posted earlier and you will install it in remote admin mode which allows two concurrent connections.

Remember though, that you have to upload the needed files for windows 2000 server TS if that is the version of server you are attempting otherwise it will ask for the cd

I just checked... There are no TSC___ files on Win2k CD, only TSB__ and TSD_ etc.
I found right files on my Win2003 evaluation CD however... Will it mind if I copy these 2k3 files to Win2k or NT mashine?

These are the files I found, just tell me if that is all...
TSCC.CH_
TSCC.DL_
TSCC.HL_
TSCC.MS_
TSCFGWMI.DL_
TSCFGWMI.MF_
TSCFGWMI.MO_
TSCMMC.CH_
TSCMSI01.W3_
TSCMSI02.W3_
TSCMSI03.W3_
TSCON.EX_
TSCUPGRD.EX_

And files are total little over 800Kb, and you said sometihing below 5Mb?...

--- I found one more interesting stuff.. Care to comment anyone???

1. Here's the rundll32 command to install Windows 2000 Terminal Services in Remote Admin mode:

I'll upload the files that you need in the Download area.

I've tested it on Win2k many times and it does work. Just copy the compressed files to: winnt\inf\i386. You'll have to create the I386 folder. Run the .bat file from wherever, give the install a couple of minutes then reboot the remote server.

You may blue screen if you have a kernal mode rootkit installed. I have had that happen.

Connect to it using the ts client and all is well.

Here's a listing of the files that you need to put in the directory above in case my upload is denied:

These files are on the Win2k server CD, at least they were on the one I had.

I haven't tried the other methods to install TS that you listed, but I will.

great list of commands you have there, will try them out!

Thanks NicsCap, great and usefull info

Keep up the good work.

i only had one win2k box to test this remotely but i couldnt get it to work ..
anyhow i thought the bat file could be updated a little so here you go

yes ，the reg thingz not always works for me either

I am trying this one right now...lets see if it works...lots of great thought went into this post

Hey.
Terminal services have a very big minus. If the real USER is logged on remote computer, and you are trying to log there remotely by TS, the USER will log out. And this is very bad thing, becouse he can guess that somebody is trying to get to his computer. I need to log on remote computer, need to execute giu programs on his machine. The best would be the situation when two users will be logged at the same time (real USER and I(remotely)) and when there will be two independent desktops - one: real USER is working on his normal desktop, and two: i'm working on virtual desktop on his computer and i'm not disturbing him. Maybe this is possible when using TS and I don't know how? Someone had told something about "Remote Admin mode". But i don't understand how it works. Or maybe there is another tool which have the purposes i need. Please help me.

eloman, u need "TS Client (Export)" and log in with your own account

i am also intrested in what eloman asked.

@wesker: i don't understand what client you mean, up to now i used the remote desktop connection tool you can find under accessories / communicaton ...
did i understood you corectly that if you use another client (pls tell again which one exactly) you can logon in background without kicking the acutal logged on user?
