What is the TsInternetUser?

Created on 2003-02-25 by Rainer Gerhards.

This is a user account used by Terminal Services.

It is used by the Terminal Services Internet Connector License. When Internet Connector Licensing is enabled, a Windows 2000-based server accepts 200 anonymous-only connections. Terminal Services clients are not prompted with a logon dialog box; they are logged on automatically with the TsInternetUser account.

If you do not run a Terminal Server Internet connector, you can savely disable this account.
