I will start off by saying that by no means am I a network or hardware professional. I have been given the daunting task (with no help of course) to figure out what is happening with a network that’s leaving me quite confused.
The network has 13workstations, all of which are Windows 2000. 7 of the workstations are Fujitsu pen-tablets while the other PCs are hard-wired. The “support” person that originally setup this network configured it as Terminal Services (have no idea why) and have been told that it was not configured properly. The site-wide software that must be used does not operate well on TS and the “support” person was told to turn TS off. He stated he did but upon my first visit to the site, I realized he never turned itoff and it was still running. I found an article on the Microsoft website and removed TS through the Control Panel on the server.
If I log onto one of the workstations as the network admin, I see the server screen and can access most of the features of the server (I’m assuming this is a feature of TS).
To add to this complication, the wireless portion of the network consistently runs slow and despite the access points being a mere 2 feet away, they drop from the network. These pen-tablets also report wireless registry errors if you log on to them with anything but an admin logon.
I don’t know how TS works but am wondering if many of the access errors on the network are being caused by the original configuration of TS on this network. Is there more to turning off TS than removing through the CP as the MS article suggests?
Thanks!
