I have remote desktop session hosts setup using 2008R2 and I seem to have an issue with the qappsrv command. When I run it just qappsrv it returns "no remote desktop session host server was found". If I supply a server name qappsrv ts1 then it returns "know remote desktop session host servers, ts1". It only return know host with a server name suppied, not domains. Any ideas?Anonymous

Interesting. But what if you need to create a script using tsshutdn to shutdown a remote Windows 2000 or 2003 Terminal server?
