Re: [foxboro] remote DM's on multi-headed machine





GOPS

I am setting up a W2000 machine running "terminal services", and exceed 9.0
for terminal services.
This will enable us to remotely start a virtual PC on your PC (similar to
VNC).
Like VNC, for every terminal that is started up the display number is
incremented. :0, :1, :2, etc.

This works fine with DM's that are unassigned in dmcfg, I can get a DM on
:0, :1.:2 etc.
When I assign the machine name of the "terminal server", it can get a DM
only on :0.

The comments at the top of the dmcfg file show to use  the following:
      .0                for the primary (local) head
      .1                for second (local) head
      .-                for either local head
      xxx               Xserver name of remote terminal
      $screen_variable  user-defined SCREEN variable
      -                 any monitor (undedicated DM)

With $screen_variable configured with the SCREEN section properly
configured, only the primary head :0 works.
With "-" configured, *ALL* of the terminal sessions can call up DM's.
...I need to be able to call up specific DM's on this machine.

I tried to combine "screen_variable" and ".-" and used "screen_variable.-",
but with this config. the DM would not work on any machine.

Brian,

What are you using to emulate the X-Windows ? Exceed or VNC ? Or are you
justsharing X-Windows across WP's ?With VNC, this works in a different way,
because you can start several server sessions on the same machine and the
endusers can open  remote desktop instances :0 or :1 etc .

While using Exceed Emulation or other WP's to share DM's, you are actually
exporting the DM to that machine . You should have additional DM licenses
configured in the host machine . And the names of every DM has to be
defined
in the dmcfg file ( either floating or with a dedicated station alias name
).

Hope this helps.
