How to add a Windows 2008 Terminal Server to "Connect to my company's application-sharing server"

I am trying to add a Windows 2008 Terminal Server to "Connect to my company's application-sharing server", but have not been able to.

In the past I have always ran the http://sbsservername/connectcomputer script on terminal servers to add them to the remote web workplace application-sharing server section, but with Windows 2008 you can not run this script. The script tell you that it does not support this version of Windows.

Does anyone know how I can get a windows 2008 terminal server to show up in the "Connect to my company's application-sharing server" section of a SBS 2003 server?

I had the same issue where we recently added a 2008 Terminal Server to our SBS 2003 network and it was not showing in the list of Application Sharing Servers in RWW.  While researching the issue on-line I found this thread which said it could not be done at this point in time.  Discouraged, I decided to continue searching to see if I could find another answer and I did.  I tried it and it worked so I thought I'd post what I found here

Rob Will's comment saying "I suspect the flag it is looking for is not present in 2008" was right on.  But I found you could add the flag manually to make SBS 2003 RWW detect the 2008 Terminal Server by adding the following registry key:

Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\TerminalServer\TSEnabled
Type: REG_DWORD
Data value: 0x1 Enabled
Data value: 0x0 Disabled

Here is a link where I got that information from:
http://forums.techarena.in/small-business-server/1015603.htm

I hope this helps.

Thanks very much productivetech for pointing this out. Good information to have. It appears to be very new information, 2 weeks ago. I was already able to make use of it in another thread:
