Re: Window Server 2003 RDP/DDE

Well we aren't using Vista and none of our users will be, so that's the
least of my concerns right now. As far as I know it's a standard Windows
2003 server install, with the exception that the 2 DDE services are turned
on. I'm sure there is just one setting somewhere that's not correct for RDP
(and Terminal Services) users. Just don't have a clue what it could be.
....Thanks for your help Paul.

You've got bigger problems than that.

NetDDE is no longer supported and is not available at all in Windows
Vista:

I have never tried it, but I tried to determine how its security works
from the documentation, and I couldn't find anything. Is there any
security? That could explain the disappearance.

Hopefully this is the right newsgroup...

I'm missing something and I'm not sure what. I hope you gurus out there
can help me. I'm having an application that runs on a 2003 server. If I
log in directly to the server it runs fine (I'm a local admin on the
box). If I run the app from a shared folder thru our network it runs
fine. If I log in via RDP as a normal user and run the app I get an
error "The Error message is: Unable to use the specified protocol system:
Unable to connect to DDE Server."

Hmmm...The user is in the power user group. Net DDE service is turned
on. The user has access to execute access to the file (actually at this
point he has everything).

I'm sure this is a privs related thing but for the life of me I can't
figure it out. Any thoughts/suggestions?

Regards - Jeff
