SYMPTOMS
You create a generic application resource type in a group, and you select the Allow application to interact with the desktop option. This option lets the program run as a viewable foreground program. However, the program may not be viewable if you use a Windows Terminal Server-based client to remotely connect to the cluster node.



CAUSE
This problem may occur because generic programs and generic services on a clustered server are set to run in session 0 (the console session). Although the Allow application to interact with the desktop option makes the program or service viewable from session 0, the program or service is not viewable during additional sessions.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, use the /console switch to connect to session 0. This method displays the generic programs.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the &quot;Applies to&quot; section.
