A look at TSConSec

Thursday, 03 August 2006 by Michel Roth

My collegue Wilco van Bragt has put up an article on TSConSec: If you have a big Terminal Server infrastructure environment you probably like to configure all settings at one place and settings are propagated to all the servers in your environment in stead of configure those settings manually. If you take a look at Citrix many settings can be configured using Citrix Management Console and since Windows 2003 you can configure a lot of settings using GPO's (but read this article if you would like to configure RDP settings on a server where also Citrix is installed).

One of things that is not fully implemented in the Citrix Management Consoles (via policies) are the settings within the Citrix Connection Configuration. My colleagues at Login Consultants developed a ADM template where most of these settings can be configured using GPO's like client mapping, timeouts for disconnection, etcetera.

But for settings the permissions on the protocols itself could only be done via manual intervention. Therefore Bas Blauw developed the tool TSConSec to solve this problem.
