Hello all,

Thanks in advance. I have installed Terminal Services on dozens of
servers without a problem, until now. I have installed terminal server
on a Windows 2003 standard edition server. The install completes.
Machine reboots but the Terminal Server Service fails to install. I
uninstall, reboot and reinstall again with the same affect. No matter
what I do, the actual service fails to load.

Suggestions??

Thanks

Bernard

Do you get any error messages when you reboot the system after
installation?
Is there anything in the EventLog on the server?
Is this a fresh installation of 2003, or an inplace upgrade from W2K?
Did you install from the physical console, or from within a remote
desktop connection?
Are you running SP1?

Thanks for the reply, here are the answers:

Fresh Install of 2003 standard. Machine is a DC
No errors, no eventlog messages. The standard what to do next after
installing TS comes up but the service is just not listed. I installed
TS logged in as the administrator with full access to the domain/box
(at the box itself, not remotely). SP1 is installed (I even reinstalled
SP1 to see if something went buggy). I have removed TS, cleared any TS
registry entries and tried again with no change.

I am at a loss

Bernard

OK, let's go back one step.
The Terminal Services service should already be installed and
running *before* you install Terminal Services, because it is
needed for remote Desktop for Administration, which comes pre-
installed with the Base OS.
So can you test this: when TS is uninstalled, can you enable Remote
Desktop for Administration (in System - properties - Remote) and
actually use it and make a connection to the server with an rdp
client?
If that isn't possible either, then you know at least that there is
something wrong with the Base OS. But I don't know what, nor what
to do about it, other than blowing the current OS away and install
from scratch.
