Full Version: Installing Terminal Server On Windows Xp?
how do i install terminal server on a windows xp mahcine hidden , also i wanting to know how to make a new account and hide it so it dosent apear ..thanks
WindowsXP Pro has Terminal Services out-of-the-box.... Just have to enable it. Only backdraw is only one user can connect to the desktop at a time. I haven't found a way to change that yet.
dmg it would of been nice if you put in your reply how to enable it?
i'm not sure but i think you go to the control panel > add & remove programs > windows component tab> check the box for terminal services > ok then restart.
not sure but i think thats it
good luck

When the TS component is installed, but DISABLED (in most cases) you can enable it (in windows XP):
Rightclick on My Computer -> Properties -> Remote -> Check the 2nd box
When you have a (remote) root box on a windows machine you can enable terminal services:
1) type "ver" and determinate this box uses windows xp. i just tested this on windows xp, when it works on other os's too, let me know.
2) Run these commands on the remote machine (you can copy into a .bat file and upload it, too of course):

3) Run the 'ts_on.bat'. Remote desktop should be enabled.
4) Optional: If you want to add a user with admin privileges to use with ts, you can do this by doing the following:
a) type "net localgroup" to find out how the adminstrative group is called on this system (needed because on different languages of win xp "adminstator" is typed in another way.)
type "net user peter pan /add" to add a user. Username now is 'peter' and password is 'pan'.c)type "net localgroup Administrators peter /Add" to add user 'peter' to the admin group. Remember: Replace "Administrators" by the name found out in step a.
Now you can connect to the viktim machine. (Start -> Run -> "mstsc"). Check the settings and connect.
You wonder why I wrote that much? The answer is spimple - i was bored
Got this off a post about a year ago from this site. Not sure if it's any diff than the previous post tho, maybe it'll help.

You could also throw it all together with nsis or something like that. Somethin simple like this should work.

You can't. Terminal Services doesn't allow multiple logins. I think your better option is something like Dameware or RealVNC.

You can indeed install Terminal Services from the commandline; and there are a few reasons why you might want to do such a thing. It can be faster and lower-maintenance if you have the command line handy. If you've screwed up and forgotten to add TS to a server that needs it and is now five hundred miles away, you can possibly give someone a command to run; much easier than a GUI walkthrough Same scenario, but if you have remote console access of some kind (such as telnet) then you can do it yourself. The technique involves careful use of rundll32's INF file install ability, the TSOC.INF file, and correct section calls. Possible Problems with Command Line Install It's not perfect; here are a few things to remember: You need to reboot after installing Terminal Services. The system needs to copy source files. Make sure it has them available and knows where they are if you don't have GUI access. Terminal Services will NOT show up as installed in Windows Components if you install it this way. Here's the rundll32 command to install Windows 2000 Terminal Services in Remote Admin mode: %SystemRoot%\System32\rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection TerminalServices.FreshInstall 128 %SystemRoot%\inf\tsoc.inf |

Let's say you're in a situation where you can't log into your XP machine because you forgot to click that checkbox. psexec to the rescue! psexec \\machinename reg add "hklm\system\currentcontrolset\control\terminal server" /f /v fDenyTSConnections /t REG_DWORD /d 0 I shouldn't have to say that this isn't in any way supported, or that it's not going to work if you're not already an admin on the machine that has RD access, or that a firewall will get in the way, or that there may be better ways to do it using script or WMI, but I've found it useful on a couple occasions. |
