The amazing Warren Simondson of Ctrl-Alt-Del IT Consultancy just released a new Citrix / Terminal Services related free application, TSTaskman.
TSTaskman is a standalone Windows GUI tool designed to show a user the list of processes running in their Terminal Server session only. Processes can then be terminated by the user by selecting the process and pressing the terminate button.
This utility was written for the purpose of allowing users to terminate frozen programs or processes that exist only in the Terminal Server Session of the currently logged in user. The GUI lists all the running processes in the Terminal Session of the logged on user, and does not display any other user or system processes. This allows TSTaskman to be presented as an application on the user desktop or as a published application, giving the user the ability to manage frozen applications within a Terminal Server session, should they occur. After correct user training of TSTaskman, help desk calls can be significantly reduced by allowing users to terminate unresponsive applications, without the concerns that the user can terminate other processes not running in their session.
Although written for Terminal Server and Citrix environments, this application will function on non-TS/Citrix workstations and servers. This application has been tested on the following platforms:
- Windows 2003 Server SP1
- Windows 2003 Server SP1 w/ Citrix PS 4.0
- Windows 2003 Server SP1 (Terminal Server Application Mode)
- Windows 2000 Server SP4
- Windows 2000 Server SP4 w/ Citrix MF XP
- Windows 2000 Server SP4 (Terminal Server Application Mode)
- Windows 2000 Server SP4 w/ Citrix MF 1.8
- Windows XP Professional (domain member)
