To initiate a Remote Control session: run a Terminal Server Client session to the Terminal Server. When the session is running, start Terminal Services Manager. Connect to the server on which the user is logged on. Right-click the user's name, and then click Remote Control. By default, the user is prompted to accept the Remote Control session. When the user accepts your request you can interact with the user's environment.

1. With Server 2003, you can setup a policy to prevent a single user from creating multiple sessions on the Terminal Server using a single user account.
2. If you are running 2000, create a shared folder allowing only one connection, and then create a batch file to logoff the second session.

How to Print to a Local Network Printer in TS

By design, the TS doesn't supports the autocreation of local network printers. However, you may redirect the local network printer by mapping it to LPT port, which you may have to do if you're using a computer rental.

By default, local printers with COM, LPT, or USB ports will be redirected when a TS RDP 5 client logs on to a TS session. However, when clients connect to a TS session and the clients have network printers configured, the client's network printers are not redirected. If TS users need to print to a network printer, they may have two options. 1) The client may set up the network printer on the TS computer through the Add Printer Wizard and enable users to select and print to that printer. 2) Map a local port (LPT#) on the client side to the network path and install a printer driver on the TS computer.

If TS doesn't redirect the client printers, check the following:
1. Make sure the TS has the printer driver. If not, install it.
2. If the server does not find a matching driver name from those drivers that are currently installed, you may need to add the drive name into ntprint.inf. ntprint.inf is located in the %systemroot%inf.
3. We find some multifunction printer can't be redirected, especially if it uses DOT4 port. In this case, you may try to keep the DOT4 printer and create another printer (load printer drive only) on LPT1.
4. If you want to redirect a network printer, you can map it by using net use lpt# \\servername\printername /persistent:yes command.

1) The TS should have the client's printer driver installed at the server.
2) The TS should have NetBIOS name resolution to the TS Client computer. If you have a domain network, you should use WINS for NetBIOS name resolution. If you cannot use WINS, then you may want to use a static IP address.
3) You need to share the local printer on the client computer.
