Windows 2000 Settings

To configure KVM target servers running Microsoft Windows 2000^® operating system:

1. Configure the mouse settings:
   1. Choose Start > Control Panel > Mouse.
   2. Click the Motion tab.
      • Set the acceleration to None.
      • Set the mouse motion speed setting to exactly the middle speed.
      • Click OK.
2. Disable transition effects:
   1. Select the Display option from the Control Panel.
   2. Click the Effects tab.
      • Deselect the "Use the following transition effect for menus and tooltips" option.
3. Click OK and close the Control Panel.

Note: For KVM target servers running Windows XP, Windows 2000 or Windows 2008, you may wish to create a user name that will be used only for remote connections through the Dominion KSX. This will enable you to keep the target server's slow mouse pointer motion/acceleration settings exclusive to the Dominion KSX connection.

Windows XP, 2000, and 2008 login pages revert to preset mouse parameters that differ from those suggested for optimal Dominion KSX performance. As a result, mouse synchronization may not be optimal for these screens.

WARNING! Proceed only if you are comfortable adjusting the registry on Windows KVM target servers. You can obtain better Dominion KSX mouse synchronization at the login pages by using the Windows registry editor to change the following settings: HKey_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Mouse: > MouseSpeed = 0;MouseThreshold 1=0;MouseThreshold 2=0.
