I want to be able to get and set the default printer for users within Windows Terminal Services, but I don't see any relevant functions. (The closest I've seen is RDS User Config, but it doesn't appear to do what I need.) It can be done by name or by ID (however necessary). For example, something like this pseudocode: For each user, u: ...
Hi, We are having a problem deploying a VSTO 2005 Second Edition Add-In and would appreciate any help with this. We previously successfully deployed this add-in onto a 32bit Windows 2003 terminal service environment. By default VSTO installs on a per-user basis. But we got around this limitation by creating a custom CASPOL script which...

If my application starts, I check first if there is already an instance of the app and if yes, I give focus to the running instance and terminate the newly created process. I make this with a named pipe that is registered through WCF. That works fine so far. Now my app will also be used in a terminal server environment. Is it right that...
I have a web server that shows an application that in turn manages some networked devices. Previously, the application was used by "fat clients", and it was trivial to associate a fat client with the device - by means of the fat clients' IP address. Now, in a Terminal Server environment with "real" thin clients (Wyse Terminals, e.g.) sh...

If the user is running their browser inside a Remote Desktop (i.e. Terminal Services), i want to disable animations on the web-site.

The .bat lives on the server with the app. files and will run properly if executed manually on the server .Also if i run the app. locally and call the .bat file on the server it...
