MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

1. Logon to the Terminal Server at the console (locally).



2. Make sure the CDONTS library is registered on the Terminal Server.



3. Create a Microsoft Visual Basic project and add a reference to the CDO for NTS 1.2 library from your project.



4. Verify that the library does indeed work, by running the following code:

   
   Private Sub Form_Load()
        Dim mycdonts As CDONTS.NewMail
   
        Set objCDOnts = CreateObject("CDONTS.newmail")
        objCDOnts.Send "Sender@Company.com", "Recip@Company.com", "Message Subject", "Message Body"
        Set objCDOnts = Nothing
   End Sub 

   This should run correctly.



5. Run the Terminal Server client from another machine and log on to the Terminal Server using the same Windows NT account that was used in the step one above.



6. Run the previous Microsoft Visual Basic code from the Terminal Server client machine.
