I have a client who is using a Hosted Terminal Server Solution, the hosted server is running SBS2003 and client is connecting to TS via Remote Desktop, client is running XP Professional on local machines.<br />
<br />
In the office there is a Laser Printer that is attached to one PC and is shared so other office PC's can use. When connecting to the Terminal Server the printer maps across OK but sometimes after a period of time the printer port in Terminal Services is showing the port as Inactive TS port, even though the correct port is available from the list. And therefore I have to manual assign the printer port, causing a time delay for my client.<br />
<br />
Does anyone know how to stop Terminal Services from changing the port to which the printer is allocated<br />
<br />
For your information the 'Hosted Terminal Server' is a server that we rent from a larger company and is out of office in remote location.<br />
<br />
If any further information is required then please let me know

Changing Printer Ports and Terminal Server

The Microsoft Server topic includes all of the legacy versions of the operating system, including the Windows NT 3.1, NT 3.5, NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 and Windows Home Server versions.

Microsoft Server OS

The Windows operating systems have distinct methodologies for designing and implementing networks, and have specific systems to accomplish various networking processes, such as Exchange for email, Sharepoint for shared files and programs, and IIS for delivery of web pages. Microsoft also produces server technologies for networked database use, security and virtualization.

Windows Networking

Small Business Server (SBS) is a line of server operating systems targeted at small businesses by bundling the operating system with a number of other Microsoft products that would normally need to be purchased or licensed separately. The most notable inclusions are Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint and ISA/TMG (Microsoft's firewall and proxy server).
