Terminal Service session won't Do Norton System Scan?

I cannot do a system scan or any scan at all on a Windows 2000 Server Box thru Terminal Services. This Server has no monitor, keyboard, or mouse. Can anyone help? When I hook up a monitor I see the norton Shield in the tray, but I can't in a Terminal Service Session.

How about using VNC when you need to initiate a manual scan? Here's a url, if you need more info, http://www.realvnc.com.

Thanks for the link, checking that out now... Also heard that TightVNC is another good VNC port.

What version of Norton do you have on the server?

I got NAV Corp both 7 & 8 on different servers and I can open the application by running it from the startmenu and from there do a full scan.

The shield is not in the systray but the realtime protection is still active.
I downloaded a "testvirus" just to make sure.

i agree with toby
my main server for nat and antivirus is accessible by monitor mouse and kb but i never use it that way. The sheild doesn't show up with TS but i just load the porgram off the start menu.

and toby where do you get a test virus from
i like that idea
allways good to test and make sure it is all working properly.
