Re: Oracle 8.1.6 and Terminal Services on Windows 2000

Niall:

Thank you for this message. I never understood why I always had problems with some processes under Terminal Services, such as svrmgrl and Peoplesoft's psamdin.exe.

But I would like to propose a better solution than installing PCAnywhere (which defeats the elegance of TS) or using the console: simply use telnet.

Start the telnet service on the server (which is secure since by default it only connect's w/ MS's NTLM/Kerberos enhanced client). Then use Terminal Services and you normally would, but instead of executing commands from the command prompt, connect via telnet by issuing a 'telnet localhost' command...

This will give you the best of both worlds.
