Terminal Services Manager

TS Manager allows you to look at and manage the terminal servers within your trusted domains, including the users, processes, and sessions that are currently active on each server. As with TS Configuration, you can open TS Manager from Start and from the Server Manager.

NOTE: When you open TS Manager, you get a message that certain features, such as Remote Control And Connect, work only in a client session and are disabled in a console or server session. In other words, you must access the server and run TS Manager from a client in order to use Remote Control And Connect.

1. Open TS Manager by clicking Start | Administrative Tools | Terminal Services | Terminal Services Manager and click OK to close the message about Remote Control And Connect.
   Or, in the Server Manager, open Roles and Terminal Services, and click Terminal Services Manager.
   In either case, the TS Manager for the local server will open.
2. Click the Sessions tab in the middle pane, and the Server Manager window.
3. If you right-click a client session in the middle pane, for example, the Administrator, and open its context menu, you can disconnect it, reconnect if disconnected, send a message to the client, take control of the client if the client allows you, reset the client, and display the status of the session, which shows the incoming and outgoing bytes, frames, and errors.
   NOTE: Many of the context menu options just described are also available in the Actions pane on the right.
4. Clicking the Processes tab shows the programs that are currently running in the remote session.
5. When you are done looking at the TS Manager, close it.
