Chapter 10: Windows Terminal Services

Shadow

Views the display for another user’s session. You must run this over a Terminal

Services connection to the host machine. See earlier in this chapter for detailed

information on this command.

Tscon

Connects to another session running on a server. See earlier in this chapter for

detailed information on this command.

Tsdiscon

Disconnects from another session running on a server. See earlier in this chapter

for detailed information on this command.

Tskill

Kills a certain process. Use tskill processid or tskill processname. To specify a

server, use the

/server switch, and to specify a certain session under which a

process is running, use

/ID:sessionid. To end a process running under all ses-

sions, issue the

/a switch.

Tsprof

Configures profiles for users connecting to a terminal server. See earlier in this

chapter for detailed information on this command.

Tsshutdn

Shuts down a terminal server. You can specify an amount of time to wait before

shutting down the machine by adding the number as an argument after the com-

mand name (i.e.,

tsshutdn 120 to wait two minutes). You also can specify

whether to simply restart the machine by using the

/reboot switch, or to power it

down completely with the

/powerdown switch.

The Last Word

Windows Terminal Services is a useful inclusion to Windows Server 2003, allowing

administrators to manage their servers without having to be directly in front of the

console, and also allowing corporations to centrally host applications to reduce total

cost of ownership and management and administrative requirements. In this chap-

ter, I explored both the user and the administrator side of TS and how it can add

value to your Windows infrastructure.
