PPC Terminal Services takes over sound - don't want this

Spyro_the_Drago · 10-31-03, 07:55 AM

Situation:
server with XP Pro is accesible remotely

When accessing this server from a PC with Terminal Services client, the sound driver on the server-pc is disabled. I can circumvent this by choosing the option: "leave sound on remote PC".

I have the same problem when accessing the server from my PPC (2003, Dell X5). For this Terminal services client, I do not have the option to leave the sound at the remote PC

Any suggestions?

i used terminal service to control my server in the place i work...
There is no sound option for that... you should try out third party software.. i not sure which one....But keep look out..... :P

I also use VNC... but this is much slower.....

Can you work with command line's in PPC?
Like termserv -nosound ?

Found the solution... (or actually: someone posted this solution on another forum :) )

From the management console (start > run > mmc) i added snap-in "local comp policy". In "administrative templates" there is "windows components" and that has "terminal services".

Here you can manage everything you can think of regarding terminal service (logout if idle, max number of users, default working dirs). One of the settings is "allow audio redirection". Is disabled this and now I can connect with terminal services using my PPC w/o disabling the sound driver! Much faster than VNC!
