You can use Windows Terminal Service to run Datareplicator. Doing so enables you to run Datareplicator on remote machines and on machines without a console. For details about Windows Terminal Service, see the OS documentation.
Windows Terminal Service supports console sessions and virtual sessions.
- Console session
A console session switches the input and output devices (such as display, keyboard, and mouse) of a server to the devices of a client on the terminal server. Please note the following in particular:
- Start the command for establishing remote desktop connection to the server with the /console option specified.
- Only one session can be created in the client and the server (the previous window is disabled (logged off)).
- Console sessions are not supported in Windows 2000, Windows Vista, or Windows Server 2008.
- Virtual session
A virtual session runs a server in the background (creates the windows for running a client in the background). Please note the following in particular:
- Start the command for establishing remote desktop connection to the server without any options specified.
- Multiple virtual sessions can be created.

(2) Notes about security
When Windows Terminal Service is used, the client's window might be logged in, even if the server's console is not logged in. For this reason, the following server and client settings and handling are required:
- Use a screen saver password for protection.
- Log off when operations from the client have been completed.
