Terminal Services and Interactive Services

[a***@gmail.com]

Hello there,
One of the my service runs under SYSTEM account. This service is
interactive and shows one dialog box. I can see the dialog box when I
run the service on local computer. But when I run the service from
remote computer ( USING terminal services ) I can't see the dialog on
remote desktop. The dialog pops up on active desktop. The service is
interactive andt it runs under Local SYSTEM account.
Can anyone shed some light on it and tell me why it happens?

That means that the dialog box is only visible in the console
session.
If your Terminal server runs 2003, you can connect to the console
session with "mstsc /console".
If you run W2K on the TS, you cannot connect to the console session,
and you would need something like pcAnywhere or VNC.
