SMCLIENT.DOC Incorrectly References SpyHydra Application and Documentation

The SMCLIENT.DOC file that is included in the Windows 2000 Resource Kits listed above contains several references to the SpyHydra application and documentation. All references to SpyHydra should be changed to Spy++.

The Spy++ application and corresponding documentation is not included with the Windows 2000 Resource Kits. Spy++ is a utility that is included with Visual C++ and Visual Studio. The Spy++ tool produces output in hex, which can then be converted to signed decimal to be used in the SMClient scripts.

In the Overview section of the SMCLIENT.DOC the second paragraph titled "How it works" should be changed to read:

"Terminal Server Client Simulation" application runs as a stand-alone command-line application. The simulation would create a connection with Terminal Server and issue appropriate commands to load/unload remote sessions, run iostress, ntstress or the "Spy++" application to simulate keyboard/mouse events. (For more information about the "Spy++" application, see the "Spy++" documentation included with Visual C++ or Visual Studio.)

Similarly, Section 2.2: The Scripting Language, outlines identifiers that are reserved for use as Client Simulation keywords. The following items that reference SpyHydra should be changed to reference the Spy++ application and documentation. These items include sections 2.2.4 Start, 2.2.5 Sendoutput, 2.2.6 Senddata, 2.2.13 Job.

In Section 3: Validation, the paragraph in example 1 should read:

"This job opens a connection with a Terminal Server, starts the "Spy++" application in Spy mode and after that sends keyboard/mouse events to the Terminal Server. Because "Spy++" is started in Spy mode, it verifies that all inputs are received in the right order and none of these inputs are lost, and also it creates a log file on the Terminal Server. This scenario can be used to verify that the client-server connection works OK. Of course this is true if and only if the Client Simulation will use the same code to connect with a Terminal Server as the real Client."

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
