terminal service connection problem

[BigJimbo]

im runing 2k server....installed the terminal service patch cuz im making this a file server in the office...and well room for another keyboard mouse and monitor is pointless and kinda hard in the tiny room.

anyway i took out the agp card and booted..i see the computer on the network and through the remote assistance on XP yet i cant connect? any ideas?

is it set to administrative mode or user mode?

 

[BigJimbo]

admin mode....now i cant see it in the domain or through remote desktop...

i put the video card back in the system and it works fine....i have heard of pcs without a video card installed and they work fine.....why isnt this? could it be the motherboard?

 

[buleyb]

could be. The question is, which is easier, fiddling around until you get it to work without a vid card, or just leaving the vid card in and moving on

Check your BIOS.. Most mainboards need to be set for "headless" operation, otherwise they throw up a hardware error at POST...

agree'd... I usually just find a cheap pci card to throw in, always a pain when you need to get to the terminal on a windows mahcine and noe video card exists....
