Terminal Services
Terminal Services
The following assumes that you have Windows XP (preferably sp3). If you don't have XP, ignore the rest
of the post and respond by identifying what version of Windows you have, including service pack.
What exactly happened when you tried the sc create command? Please provide the complete error
message.
In the Services applet, what is the status of "DCOM Service Process Launcher"?
Is termsrv.dll present in C:\Windows\system32?
Is perfts.dll present in C:\Windows\system32?
Open regedit and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services
Is a sub-key named TermService present? TermService should have 3 sub-keys: Enum, Parameters, and
Performance.
The following is for Windows XP sp3. Before altering the registry, it's a good idea to make a backup first. At
least make a System Restore point. Or use ERUNT.
If the TermService key and its subkeys are not present (but the 2 dll files above are present) copy the
material between the *********** into a Notepad window. Set the "Save as type" to "All Files" and save the
file as TS.reg. Then right click on the file and select Merge.
