Hi everyone
I use on a Vista PC the server admin pack to locally administrate some of the funtions of the server 2003 machine. The "remote desktops" snap-in allows me to specifiy multiple connections on the left, and when clicking on one, open the related remote desktop on the right. All of it works fine, until I want to access one of the machines that uses a custom remote desktop port. typically it would just be the IP address or server name with a ":" and the port number (server01:4000) and would then use port 4000 for that connection. However in this remote desktops snaip in my custom mmc, it tells me I cannot put a colon....... anyone have any idea how I can use this snap-in and specifiy a port number ? Thanks |

It was available in the Win2K3 Adminpak, which isn't "available" for
Vista.. --- Jeffrey Randow Windows Networking MVP 2001-2006 http://www.networkblog.net On Tue, 16 Oct 2007 07:05:02 -0700, Kelly Armitage wrote: Hi everyone I use on a Vista PC the server admin pack to locally administrate some of the funtions of the server 2003 machine.

Sorry, posted that on the wrong thread. It was a part of the Windows
2003 Server Adminpack which isn't supported on Vista. --- Jeffrey Randow Windows Networking MVP 2001-2006 http://www.networkblog.net On Tue, 16 Oct 2007 21:06:07 +0530, squeakstar wrote: can't help but you can tell me where i can get the pack you're using please???? |

not sure what your talkign about "not available" i use it daily and it works
perfectly, with a couple minor exceptions..... ie: cant use custom port numbers..... but i use it for remote desktops, AD users and computers, and a Printers snap-in all to administer things i would otherwise have to remote desktop into 10 different servers............

I put not "available" in quotes because it doesn't work without a bit
of hacking to make it completely compatible.. It can be installed, but you have to know what works and what doesn't. --- Jeffrey Randow Windows Networking MVP 2001-2006 http://www.networkblog.net On Thu, 18 Oct 2007 20:41:03 -0700, Kelly Armitage wrote: not sure what your talkign about "not available" i use it daily and it works perfectly, with a couple minor exceptions..... ie: cant use custom port numbers..... but i use it for remote desktops, AD users and computers, and a Printers snap-in all to administer things i would otherwise have to remote desktop into 10 different servers............
