hbg-tst doesn't show up on hbg-sql session manager, because hbg-sql is
running windows 2000, and hbg-tst is windows 2003. For some reason, win2k
can't see sessions on win2k3. I'm looking into a way to resolve that.

I'm also looking into a way to automatically log users off if they've been
idle for an extended amount of time.

Do both servers join to domain?

What user account do you use to run Terminal Services Manager (I assume
session manager you're referring to is Terminal Services Manager)?

on the Windows 2000 server, run
qwinsta.exe /server:hbg-tst
what output do you get?

It is also possible that you're affected by the windows 2003 firewall. Try
to temporary turn it off to see if it helps.

To set idle time limit on windows 2003, run tscc.msc, goto RDP-Tcp->Sessions
tab.

Thanks
Soo Kuan

ok I found the fix it is as follows:
1. Start Registry Editor (Regedit.exe).
2. Locate and then click the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Terminal Server
3. Change the value of the TSAdvertise DWORD value from 0 to 1.
4. Quit Registry Editor.
5. Restart the computer.

OK, so your hbg-tst server is not a Terminal Server, it has only
Remote Desktop for Administration enabled. That explains it, those
(and XP clients) don't advertise themselves, otherwise you would see
every 2003 server and every XP client on the network in the terminal
Services Manager.
