Here is the situation:
A company has 4 remote office and some internal users using an Access97/VB6 application through terminal services. It's pure Terminal Services in Application mode (without Citrix) on only one server. Ocasionaly Access97 database needs to be reindixed/repared during the day.
BUT the stupid users keep connecting to the Terminal Server and tring to log on to the Application.This is really annoing since, I need to disconect them all the time, and when i disconnect one, someone else connects.
So is there a way of "Locking" Terminal services for the maintanence period? I know I can't stop the service :-(
Any sugestions?
Thanks,
Victor

I don't really know- I'm just throwing this out... Can't you just stop the Server service or the Netlogon service during that time?

I don't know terminal services- but I don't really see why not. :)

On the terminal Server. Go to Start > Run type CMD click OK
type 'change logon /disable' to disalbe, 'change logon /enable' to re-enable. Keep in mind that if you run this command from a TS Session you have to make sure that you don't disconnect before issueing the enable command, otherwise you will have to physicly walk over to the machine and re-enable it.
