Hi, is there a way to display the desktop background when I run a
remote-desktop session to a Win2003 server? When I connect to a Win2000
server I do get the desktop background, but when I connect to a Win2003
server I don't. Any ideas? Is this by design? Thanks. -christos

My client is already setup to show the desktop background. However I only
get the background if I connect to a Win2000 Server not if I connect to a
Win2003 server. It looks like it is a configuration at the Server side. Any
other ideas?

well I figured out a fix for this:

1. go to the following registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal
Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp\UserOverride\Control Panel\Desktop
and delete the "wallpaper" entry

2. then go to the Terminal Services Configuration, go to RDP-Tcp properties,
toggle any setting/checkbox, and press OK so that the service re-reads the
info from the registry.
