Could this problem also apply to Delphi applications running on Terminal Servers? As the MSDN article " An Office 2007 or Office 2003 application that is running on an RD Session Host server may close unexpectedly in Windows Server 2008 R2 " explains This issue occurs because of the Tsappcmd.dll component. This component makes changes to the Import Address Table (IAT) for applications that are not Terminal Server aware in order to prevent viruses or malware from maliciously hooking the application. Because of this, the application may experience temporary memory corruption because of the order

While investigating external exception C0000006 errors reported by some users running a Delphi 7 application on a Windows 2008 terminal server, I found several questions on this and related issues already. I'm wondering if anyone has a definitive list of these settings that would be appropriate for a standard Delphi 7 database application running on a terminal server. The questions I've looked at include: External exception C0000006 Delphi - invalid stream format errors on run Are there risks associated with IMAGE_FILE_REMOVABLE_RUN_FROM_SWAP or IMAGE_FILE_NET_RUN_FROM_SWAP? Delphi TOpenDialog

For simplicity, let's say the user Administrator is logged in in terminal session 2 . Another user Boda is logged in terminal session 3 . Is it possible to runas a program in session 3 from session 2 ? For simplicity, let's say I want to start calc.exe in session 3 (in Boda's session). How do I do that? Can it be done with runas ? Like Harry Johnston suggested in a comment you can do this using the psexec tool available on TechNet . I've tried it using a Windows 2008 Server running Terminal Services and managed to start various applications in another users session (although not calc.exe - it

Is there a way my program can determine when it's running on a Remote Desktop (Terminal Services)? I'd like to enable an "inactivity timeout" on the program when it's running on a Remote Desktop session. Since users are notorious for leaving Remote Desktop sessions open, I want my program to terminate after a specified period of inactivity. But, I don't want the inactivity timeout enabled for non-RD users. GetSystemMetrics(SM_REMOTESESSION) (as described in http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa380798.aspx ) Here's the C# managed code i use: /// <summary> /// Indicates if we're running in

I need to get the underlying client PC name from a user's terminal server session. I know it lives in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Volatile Environment\CLIENTNAME but is there another (preferably native .net) method of getting it? I didn't see a managed API for this. The only API-based ways I could see for getting at this information would be through WMI or the native Terminal Services API in Windows. Here is an example that returns the client name using the WTSQuerySessionInformation API: namespace com.stackoverflow { using System; using System.Runtime.InteropServices; public class Program { static void
