Hi all,

I have written an application that will check whethet terminal server
is installed on machine and also cheks that whether terminal server is
in application mode. To check the application mode of terminal server
i check the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server
\TSAppCompat

But now when i run my application on server 2008 (Longhorn) i
can't find this key.
Therefore my program fails to check terminal server and it's mode.

Can any one guide me how to check the terminal server is installed
or not and it's mode on longhorn.

Any help will be appriciated.


Thanks
Amit
 
You could use servermanagercmd.exe with the parameter "-query" to get
the list of roles installed on a server.

I hope this helps.

Hi Helge,

Thanks for your reply.

I tried your solution but it just gives me whether terminal server is
installed or not. But i want the mode of terminal server. Is there any
key to check the mode of Termina server.

This should work:

Check for "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server
\fDenyTSConnections". If this is set to 0, Remote Desktop is enabled.
If the server role "Terminal Services -> Terminal Server" is also
installed then the system is in application server mode.

I hope this helps.
