When connected to a LogMeIn host that is a server running Terminal Server services or hosting an incoming Windows Remote Desktop session, you will see the “Console” session and all active connected Terminal Server sessions. It's important to note, however, that you can only view the screen of a terminal session when the local user (the person connected to the Server via remote desktop or Terminal Services Client) is viewing the host in full screen or windowed mode. If the Terminal user minimizes the session to system tray, Windows server turns off the display for the actual session. When you connect via LogMeIn and select a minimized Terminal session you will see the following message: This Terminal server display is inactive To resolve this, make sure the local user is viewing the host in full screen or windowed modeNote to Central subscribers: The host must be a pro host.Note: When you install LogMeIn on an actual Terminal Server, LogMeIn requires system reboot after installation. Otherwise, LogMeIn will fail to initialize. Tip: You cannot open a new Terminal session via LogMeIn – we only offer underlying Server level access to the Terminal server, not a native client. Any

The usefulness of this tool is in no small part to how accessible the software is (there is http://help.logmein.com/articles/en_US/FAQ/Does-LogMeIn-support-Terminal-Server-session-control a version on most major mobile operating systems) and that it's free. Indeed, here at Blogging Calwell we have written a number of times about Logmein over the years. Some good, some bad. One of the more unusual Windows-specific errors we've come across is the above pictured "This terminal server display is inactive". There are certain conditions where this error occurs and a way https://cwl.cc/2012/08/recover-from-logmein-error-this.html to recover from this remotely. Read on for more details. Why does this error happen? The answer to this is a little tricky to answer. Based on our experience, using Remote Desktop locally on a computer connecting to it's console and then disconnecting will result in this error. Let me run this down in more specifics.Remote Desktop is a remote control service enabled in your computer (or server's) system properties. Accessing the system is generally quick and easy using what's called the Remote Desktop Client (or mstsc.exe from the command line). When connecting to the console of a computer, the command: mstsc /console is run. This issue arises from the disconnection (or the use of the X at the top-right of the Remote Desktop session). When connecting to the console a couple things happen, you get to see the local screen (as Loigmein might display it), but you will also lock the local console.It appears as though that this special kind of disconnection from the console is what seems to cause Logmein a specific difficulty. In the cases where Logmein sees the conso
