Enabling the Terminal Services Pass-Through option

By default, the Terminal Services pass-through feature is disabled and must be enabled in Global Settings. Until the Terminal Services pass-through feature is enabled, the Remote Console has the Terminal Services button deactivated, and the console session error message Remote Session already in use by another user is misleading.

Use of the Terminal Services pass-through feature requires installation of the latest Lights-Out Management Interface Driver and Terminal Services pass-through Service for Microsoft® Windows® on the server. The interface driver must be installed before installing the service.

When the Terminal Services pass-through option is set to Enabled or Automatic on the Global Settings page and the Terminal Services Client is installed on the Windows® client (installs by default on Windows® XP), the Terminal Services button is enabled. When the Terminal Services button is clicked, the applet tries to launch the Terminal Services, even if the server is not running a Windows® operating system.

You must comply with Microsoft® license requirements which are the same as connecting through the server's NIC. For instance, when set for administrative access, Terminal Services does not allow more than two connections, regardless of whether the connections are through the server's NIC or RILOE II or both.

Terminal Services Pass-Through status

The RILOE II Status page displays the status of the Terminal Services pass-through feature, as follows:

Server software not detected

Available for use

In use

The UID light flashes whenever a Terminal Services connection is active through the RILOE II. It flashes at the same frequency and duty cycle as when the Remote Console is active.

Terminal Services warning message

Terminals Services users operating on Windows® 2003 Server might notice the following when using the Terminal Services pass-through feature of RILOE II. If a Terminal Services session is established through RILOE II and a second Terminal Services session is established by a Windows® administrator (Console mode), the first Terminal Services session is disconnected. However, the first Terminal Services session does not receive the warning message indicating the disconnection until approximately one minute later. During this one-minute period, the first Terminal Services session is available or active. This is normal behavior, but it is different than the behavior observed when both Terminal Services sessions are established by Windows® administrators. In that case, the warning message is received by the first Terminal Services session immediately.
