How to install Terminal Services On Small Business Server (SBS) 2003


I've found this document that explains how to install Terminal Services in application mode on a Windows Small Business Server (SBS) 2003: http://www.bagsolutions.orconhosting.net.nz/

Before you start you have to had finished the small business server setup!!!!

This will show you how to do what M$ said you could in the pre release versions of SBS 2003 but can't in the final release. This does not crack nor get you to edit any of Microsoft's code. It just does what the install would have done. We have tested this as much as we could we cannot guarantee that it will work or be held liable for any errors, unforeseen or otherwise, that might occur.

WARNING - People have Reported Problems with MMC after doing this. We found that it worked O.k. with only one console (window) open at a time.

Comments and Queries can be directed to BAG_Solutions@hotmail.com, but we aren't able to spend much time on this issue, so you might not get a reply.

  • Run the Following Command: (all on one line)
    %systemroot%\system32\rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection TerminalServices.AppServer.x86 128 %systemroot%\inf\tsoc.inf

  • Reboot Computer after executing above command it will not show any sign that it has been completed
  • OPTIONAL: Reinstall Administration Tools from %systemroot%\system32\adminpak.msi - You only need to do this if you have problems with MMC. This won't fix the problem with multiple consoles not working, but can restore completely dead ones.
  • Set Permissions For Users In Local Security Policy, to allow logon through Terminal Services.
  • Turn On Tick Allow users to connect remotely to your computer in System Properties / Remote
  • Add Everyone Group To Permissions:
  • Reboot to finish installation

  1. Hi,

    I too had the same issue with my2003 server. When checked with Microsoft they said they stopped selling RDP licenses for 2003 Server.

    I managed to find the solution for the above problem. Once done running the command. Reinstall windows 2003 Service Pack 2.0. This solved mine I hope will solve your's.

    Thanks
