If you run SA as a service and would like to maintain via Terminal Services, you can run RDP from the command line and enter using the console. Mstsc /v:servername /console. This will allow SA to show up on the task bar, and allow editing without stopping the service.

(I have too many helpers.) I prefer to run SA as a service. If you do so, make sure to setup an ID and password and enter them on the checks that need authentication. The service runs with the system account and desktop interaction. If you desire to perform maintenance remotely using Terminal Services, then you must stop the SA service, and then launch the application. Make your changes, and don't forget to save before you exit. After exiting, restart the SA service. One draw back to this approach is you lose history. All items that are down will Alert and you will no longer have your "running since" information. If you want to run as a service and use the desktop interaction feature, then you need to use a product like PCAnywhere instead of terminal services. If it is a COMPAQ server you can use the RILO card interface.

Dunigan Sent: Friday, May 21, 2004 8:51 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [SA-list] Service vs. Application I have SA v4.1.1591 installed on a Windows 2003 server. I am a little fuzzy about the difference between running as an application and as a service. I have seen this talked about on this maillist, but I am not understanding the difference. I do know that I made a small change to a check from a Terminal Services session, and the next time I was at the SA console, the change had not been made there. I can't find anything in the Administration Guide about the differences. Thanks, Mike =========================================================== Michael J.
