    Same here

    I just promoted one of our TS servers to the backup server role in our 2X environment. Apparently that also deletes the memshell.exe file from system32 folder. Copying it back from the primary 2x server into backup one got the server back on line. This is an easy fix.


    Thanks for the info.
