Hi, I'm a .net developer.In my machine terminal services is not starting automatically as well as manually.When i tried to start it,it showed me following error as: "Could not start the terminal services service on local computer.Error2:The system cannot find the file specified." Then i checked for the files "termsrv.exe " in the path c:\windows\system32 .But the file is missing.. B'coz of this issue,dot net debugging has failed when i tried to debug my code. is it possible to install terminal services alone? or any soution for this?

You probably havent installed the components yet.There are various components of Terminal Services (now called Remote Desktop Services [RDS] in 2008) depending on which operating system the server is running on. In addition, Terminal Services can be installed in Remote Administration mode or in Application mode (the terminology has changed over the years between NT 4 through 2008), but the idea has remained about the same.If you install Terminal Services in anything above "Remote Administration" mode, such as Application Mode, you will be required to set up a Terminal Services Licensing Server and will need to purchase the required licenses from Microsoft to support the various clients that will be connecting to this server.Remote Adminstration mode (again, I am trying to use terminology you are probably familiar with but this has changed) does allow for up to three connections, 1 console connection and two remote connections). This mode is not really meant for "publishing" applications.You may want to read more about RDS: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/en/us/rds-product-home.aspx Visit my blog: anITKB.com, an IT Knowledge Base.
