Author GemStone & remote desktop

Has anyone noticed that if you're using Terminal Server 2003 & Gemstone 5,
if you logon as an Administrator with full permissions you still can't
connect to the database or run Topaz, etc. Must be some sort of weird
windows permissions problem, wrt Remote Desktop.

Anyone know why this might be or how to work around it?

Thanks, Ian

GemStone does not officially support windows terminal server. However there
is an unsupported workaround that may do what you need.
You need to set the following environment variable such that it is seen by
all GemStone processes:

GS_MAKE_EVENTS_GLOBAL=1

This worked with Windows 2000 Term server, I don't know about 2003.

Note this only works with GemStone 6.1.x. GemStone 5.1 is several years old
and no patch for term server is available.

P.S. Wouldn't you really be running GemStone on Linux anyway? Several
customers have made the switch with positive results.
