I'll nail all this daon and get back to you this weekend, for the short answer:
1. System was rebuilt from an AD to domain controller. 2. Terminal services was already installed from AD. 3. Win SP2 with all security patches. 4. Nothing in the event log. 5. This I will reply to on the weekend, but, on the surface I've done all that. eugene -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Alex K.

This seems to be an occasional problem and it would be nice if we could start tying down a set of criteria for producing the problem. Under (1) there is a possibility that VNC might be affected; with (2), none of those should really matter but there might be a secondary effect. Questions - (1) Any recent changes in the system role - e.g., change from domain member to actual server, AD installed, or system policies applied? (2) Did you add or remove any of the following in recent memory: Windows Terminal Services (Admin or Apps mode), pcAnywhere, or any alternate remote control tool. (3) What service pack level are you running, and did you change it recently? (4) Any other services failing to start and/or any records in the event log that could be related? (5) Finally, if the following procedure works, we really want to know... :-)) FLOYD RUSSELL'S GENERIC WIN2K VNC CONFIG PROCEDURE Floyd Russell posted this a few days back as a procedure he figured out for installing VNC on Win2K over a Win2K TS connection. Interestingly enough, it seems to be the perfect answer for installing VNC on Win2K under any conditions at all. 1. Install VNC 2. Install VNC Service 3. Start->Programs->VNC->Run WinVNC(AppMode) 4. Enter your password, this is for the current user. 5. Start->Programs->VNC->Administrative Tools->Show Default Settings 6. Enter your password, this is for the local machine 7. Close WinVNC 8. Start WinVNC Service You may need to start the service helper if you want to modify settings of the winvnc instance running. This problem is due to the way Terminal Services operates, since you are working in a virtual desktop. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Eugene Beckett" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, 2002-05-04 23:44 Subject: Strange problem > I've been using vnc for some time now and have come across a strange > problem. > > I installed it on my win2k server (not advanced) and it won't install as a > service, I can't start it manually from services either.
