a180a41bba1d50822df23fff0099e90b86638b89vboxsyncSimply run::

a180a41bba1d50822df23fff0099e90b86638b89vboxsyncwhere server is the name of the Terminal Services machine. (If you receive
a180a41bba1d50822df23fff0099e90b86638b89vboxsync"Connection refused", this probably means that the server does not have
a180a41bba1d50822df23fff0099e90b86638b89vboxsyncTerminal Services enabled, or there is a firewall blocking access.)
