I am working on program that will monitor how much each user was loged on over the day. This way you can monitor your users how efficient they work, and how much time over the day they were inactive (idle). Program is in testing state and it is finished. I only have to make web page where I will present program and offer program. I worked on program because there is none software recording idle time on Microsoft Terminal Services. Contact me for more info.

I have added in TSUThin solution HOWTO configure windows 2003 server using TFTP to automatically supply image to thinclient, without FDD or CDROM image if NIC supports PXE boot, in short meaning your server will supply all required images and files via network.

I have looked at the pages with cracks for the Windows Terminal Server 2003 and 2000, but I haven't find anything valuable. The only thing I have find is a virus called Downloader.Win32.Small.cws. It was in file called MSLic1.exe and he infiltrated in my system32 in the file "msldr32.dll". Virus has caused any application that access internet to crush. I have problem with him a whole day. I am writing this to protect your servers from this problem, and if you download cracks get them through antivirus scanner first to protect your server and clients from this malicious software.

I have read little on the net about Longhorn licensing and find one interesting paragraph:
Alex Balcanquall MS (Expert):
Q: is the licensing model changing any?
A: No, we will have all the same licensing modes. We will be adding support for per user tracking in Beta 3.
According to this TS licensing is not changing and there is a high possibility that my solution can be used on Longhorn Terminal services.

Quote of the day:
Terminal services licensing is a support nightmare that has no direct benefits to the customer so it's doubly painful when it does not work.

News: TSUthin is a document and software for Windows Terminal Services Client diskless computer network clients. It is used to boot (diskless) workstations over a network using PXE boot but it is possible to boot PXE from a CDROM or hard disk if the network card or BIOS do not support PXE.
