Re: Win 2003 server, Remote Desktop and HA apps

["Warren" <warren@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

How about running your apps as services instead?

There used to be some utilities around that would let you convert apps

Plan B would be to use VNC for remote admin instead...


Alternatively find a better TTS that works without the machine being
unlocked
