Terminal Services configuration

[WhippingBoy]

I am in need of documentation for a windows 2000 server setup with terminal services. I need to remove the "configure your server" splash screen when a user logs on the first time. Also, I have disabled the internet connection wizard. However, the application I run on the TS box requires IE. How do I set the clients up so that the wizard isnt necessary but access to IE is granted. If I havent been clear enough please let me know.

There is no policy available under Windows 2000 for this (although there is in Win2K3), but you can use the following technique provided by the JSI Faq (Tip no:3495)

Hope this helps

I think you can bypass the Configuration Wizard by setting the connection via GPO. Set a fictitious proxy address so the users cannot access the Internet but can still access sites in your intranet.

I normally like the advice on JSI, but the referenced tip above is way confusing to me. Hope you find it more palatable.

I hope you find this post helpful.
