Remote Desktop w/ audio
Ok I am running a 2003 Standard Edition and trying to make it so I can open up my music player(or just any of the songs but seems to have same prob if I open alone or in player) but everytime I do says its missing the right audio drivers. Anyone know why this is? Any help appreciated in fixing so I can listen to nice good music whenever I want.
thanks

I don't think your going to have much luck for several reasons. First, 2k3 is designed for as a Network operating system, not something intended for home use, as such, many features you get in other os's are not used in 2k3.
Secondly, remote desktop is a *Very* restricted version of the main desktop that loads custom drivers for everything that get's forwarded, Sound included. You'll notice that there is no 3d support for the video in terminal server. You may also notice that you can get 16 bit color support in terminal server even if you have no video drivers installed on the console. I would say that the codecs for the sound that are required for your music are among the things that do not get loaded in TS.
You would be better off setting up a broadcast server for media player or winamp to alllow you to listen to your music remotly

Thanks Mat but I've got no idea on how to do that. Happen to know any good tutorials on setting that up? and also how secure would that be?
thanks

no clue on how to set it up. I don't even have an MP3 on my computer.

something like this. Shoutcast is another.
Never, ever approach a computer saying or even thinking "I will just do this quickly."

The protocol used by Terminal Services (RDP) does not encapsolate (sp?) audio. If you need audio you will need to look at a Citrix solution, or a streaming media server. However audio / video through Citrix is going to place a heavy load on your server and you may not get adequate performance.
