Have anyone managed to copy the Terminal Services files into Windows 2000 Professional? :pinch:

How do you mean? There is a client for Windows 2000 and a Web TS service. I don't understand what you mean though, copied from Windows XP?

I think he means the terminal services functionality present in the server versions of Windows, that allow you to have almost unlimited simultaneous client sessions. Which in that case, I don't think it can be added to the client versions of Windows.

Why shouldn't it be possible?

Terminal Services is a seperate component, so it must have stand alone files.

Why should it be possible? Component or not, some things will only install on servers. Workstations are limited to a certain number of connections, this would play a part in any terminal session. Some essential services may not be available or even run in XP.

Yes... Terminal Services. :ninja:

I want to copy Terminal Services server FROM Windows 2000 Server to Windows 2000 Professional... understand? :huh:

Terminal Server is more then just a component, if you install TS on a Window 2K server it reconfigures alot of services and modify alot of different files. Even alot of the security patches will have TS only fixes. The main reason, though is that your 2K Pro box is not meant to be a server. Then is no if ands or buts about that. It is just not meant be to a server.

How about if you installed 2000 Server?

Would that not solve the problem?

Well...

There's no option to put the computer in suspended mode in the server version.

And, I will not buy Windows XP Professioanl just because of this.

I give up now, no need to reply.

Well, I don't think this is a very stupid question. I've tried to do what this guy is trying to do for years... as it is often times possible to take parts from one Microsoft OS and put them in another (regardless of legality). We don't all have access to whatever OS we need, when we need it, and sometimes there is some strange rare purpose for doing something abnormal with an OS, like backwards engineering it into doing what it isn't supposed to do. For example, I have ripped the remote desktop client from Windows 7 out of Windows 7 and put it into windows XP, for no other reason than to satisfy my curiousity. Nothing else from Windows 7 worked out that way. That same RDP client swap was CRUCIAL for having remote desktop client with sound support on windows 2000, in an era when I could not use windows XP for reasons unexplained. I'm glad the guy asked this question and to add to the answer, I've tried to get Terminal Services running on XP home once, transplanted from XP Pro, and that didn't work... and I've used TweakNT (a more modern version of NTSwitch) to try the same thing for windows 2000 and in the case of windows 2000 the problem is really just the title of the OS. If you change the OS from Pro to Server using a tool or a registry hack, and then install the services from a legit Windows 2000 Server CD I think it has a decent chance of working. Though decent chances for an OS hack is like 20% by my experience. I know the guy gave up, but I found the question useful and wanted to pat him on the back for asking it. These posts answer more peoples questions than just the first guy posting it, after all.

    • Valve finally confirms Steam Machine prices, starts at $1049 for 512GB option

      By matthiew · Posted

      Huh? You're delusional calling the Steam Deck dead. It is so successful that it has sold out multiple times. Even after the price hike this year it sold out again with 24 hours of being back in stock. The demand is real and has not died down even after four years.
