TS Licensing Issues
by Guest Rosewood- 6 replies
- 1.1k views
I'm very green to TS and this is my first TS deployment. I thought everything was good to go. I added our 10 licenses as per user CALs since we have 6 users that may jump between 12 different computers. The CALs are installed and I thought everything was good to go since everyone was connecting w/o a problem. Today I was told they are getting a message when they login that their license expires in 4 days. So I went to the Terminal Service Licensing window. Sure enough it shows a bunch of Temporary Licenses issued and 10 User CALs available. So how do I get these user CALs tied to a specific user and get them off the temp licenses?

help: ts gateway keeps rejecting user credential
by Guest shimh- 9 replies
- 1.2k views
I am setting up a terminal service gateway in Windows 2008 domain in our lab. I followed the step-by-step tutorial. I had this problem: the ts gateway keeps rejecting user credential (The logon attempt failed). I enter the credential in this format: domain_name\username, and password. Occasionally the ts gateway works, usually after the server is restart . With unknown reason, it does not work sometime later. Any idea on the cause and diagnostic steps? Thanks a lot.

by Guest Luiz- 2 replies

Hi, I would like a help, please: - I have configured 2 server with TS and they are in NLB. I have published the 2 TS through my ISA 2004 to external access. In my LAN the NLB works very well but when an external user access the node he/she is direct to onlye one TS. It seems that ISA 2004 is filtering something. Anyone knows if that is a ISA problem? Thanks. Luiz

Terminal Services Basics
by Guest Anwar Mahmood- 6 replies

Hi All, Hope someone can help with a basic question. It's probably been covered many times, but I can't find anything substantial or definitive... Looking at Terminal Services on Windows Server 2003/Citrix Presentation Server 4.5 for the first time. I'm uncertain of the correct sequence of actions to build a farm. There will be multiple servers, but only running Office and one or two other (low intensity) applications. The most logical sequence to *me* is - establish "infrastructure" (licensing, data store, etc) - install Windows Server 2003 SP2 - install and customise the applications - test the applications (eg with a standard user account…

high cpu utilization of IE for one TS user
by Guest om- 2 replies
- 724 views
Hi, One of the terminal users is experiencing slowness with his IE. I ran Process Explorer on the terminal server and noticed that his IE instance did take more CPU resource than other TS users. I checked and they all seem to have the same IE settings. I deleted all IE temp. files as well as reduced the disk space size for the particular user but it didn't help either. Can you some suggest how i can identify the problem? Thanks

Slow Performance issue
by Guest David G. Hoch- 7 replies
- 1.1k views
I'm running Terminal Sevices on a Windows 2003 Standard server. Fairly powerful box (1xQuad-Core Proc; 4GB RAM; plenty of fast HD storage space available) Users are seeing poor performance at times, even when only one or two users are connected to the box. Some of the performance issues reported include: - Slow opening of data files (.PDF, .DOC, etc.) - Once opened, slow and/or choppy scrolling from page to page in documents - Choppy and broken up video streaming In order to fix the video streaming problem I've upgraded the server's built-in video card to a card that has 256MB of RAM onboard. It made a very small improvement, but not enough to make the…

We have a program that uses the FlexLM key locks to prevent more than one person running the program. Even when you try to fire up a second instance of the program you are denied a license. Since only one instance on the computer can run at a time we have had this installed on the Terminal Server and not violated the license agreement because even when 10 people are using the TS for whatever, only one can use the program using the FlexLM key lock. I baggered out of a developer that they put in the restriction on the program (no details on how) but Sales and Management of the software company deny it is there because they know we and other customers will…

Good morning! Okay, Okay......I know that several of you in here will kill me for this! Vera, Patrick, Jeff,.....sorry...but I did not do this!!!! I am simply trying to fix some things and want to make sure that I do not break things in the process.... Anyway, a client has a small Terminal Server farm (two servers). A Terminal Server Profile was not implemented. Yikes! I know! Anyway, most are using a Thin Client but some still use a PC / Laptop to access the Terminal Server. Some of the of these good people are Sales Folks who are almost never in the office and log on to their laptops locally (read: the "log on to:" part is populated with "myma…

I have a terminal server setup and configured, when logged in as the administrator on the domain and trying to install software from a shared drive I get the following error " Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file.

Single server scenario workable?
by Guest anthonyx26- 6 replies
- 800 views
I have some clients who, for budgetary reasons, only have a single server (WS2008) in their office but would still like to have the benefits and security of using TS for their employees. Is it possible to configure a single server as a locked down TS (using GPOs) for use by multiple remote users? It's currently not configured as a domain controller, but I suppose could be. I realize a single server is not ideal...in fact I always recommend and have always configured scenarios with at least a separate TS and DC and file server. - anthonyx26

How to display Remote Apps in TS WEB Access based on AD Group memberskip?
by Guest John Myren- 2 replies
- 747 views
Is it possible to offer access to Remote Apps based on membership in AD Security Groups? Lets say if you are a member of the App_Office group, you will se only the Office programs, and if you also are a member off the App_Admin group, you will also se some extra Remote Apps, just for the administrators. So basicly the AD group membership should decide which Remote Apps you have access to. How can we accomplish this with TS 2008, TS Web Access and TS Gateway?

Users cant access Share
by Guest John F Kappler- 2 replies
- 744 views
I'm not sure if this is a Terminal Server issue or an SBS issue but I'll start here.... We have a Terminal Server (2003) connected on to a Domain controlled by an SBServer 2003 R2. The SBServer has, on its C drive, a folder which is cleared for sharing by "Everyone" with Full Control. Users on their PCs can access this folder, open files, run programs, etc. On the Terminal Server, we can also do all these things if we log in as an Administrator, but if we log in as a Domain user, then we get an error message "Your current security settings do not allow this action" I've checked all the sharing settings on the folder, but given they can get there fro…

Is there a way to make the user's desktop read-only upon login? Is this even a good idea? I just hate when users start saving all their docs to the desktop...so I figure if they can't save to the desktop this will force them save to their my docs or public folder. - anthonyx26

virtual channel implementation
by Guest v.mont- 2 replies
- 697 views
I'm trying to implement a pair of components to handle communication over a virtual channel. I believe I have the client component done okay, and it sends a string on the virtual channel. On the server side, the second component is waiting for the read. But it never receives anything. All calls on both sides (open/write on client, and open on server side pass ok... ) So I have a few general questions, hopefully someone can help: 1. Is it okay to activate the server component manually (for test purposes)? It is currently implemented as a console app. 2. the client sends data right after VirtualChannelOpen returns okay. I do see the event coming back a…

Hi folks, I have used the MMC Terminal Services snap-in (%SystemRoot%\system32\tscmmc.msc /s) on my XP Pro machine to access several of our servers for administrative functions. It was very handy to have a list of servers down the left side of the MMC. When I would click on one of the entries it would connect to that server and open up that desktop in the right MMC panel. However, after installing XP SP3 the MMC now gives me an error (see attachment). If I accept the "Ignore Error" option it opens up the MMC, my servers are still listed on the left but clickon them has not effect. Any ideas or suggestions? By the way this has happened to two XP …

RDP sessions disconnected after server rejoins nlb cluster
by Guest AndiK- 5 replies
- 719 views
Each time a node joins (after reboot or new node) our nlb cluster, some (about 10 or twenty out of 200-300 in total) active rdp sessions to other cluster members are disconnected. The nlb cluster consists of 8 servers serving 300 rdp clients, most of them wyse thin clients. Balanced traffic is only TCP 3389. All servers are Windows Server 2003 Entrise Edition with SP2. Session redirection is achieved via windows session directory. Did anyone else notice this effect or is there a known solution? Best regards Andi

IE7 and UNC Paths from the address bar
by Guest Larryw- 8 replies
- 737 views
I am having issues with several Windows Server 2003 servers running sp2. Currently we have IE7 installed on 3 test servers, and things appear ok when you RDP to the server or the console. The issue arrises when you use an RDP published app, or publish IE7 on citrix. It will launch seamlessly on the users desktop, and they can work like normal, except when they type in a UNC path in the address bar. now this can be, \\server\share or c:\ or d:\ or a mapped drive like n:\ or u:\. when they do this they get an error. Address Bar c:\(or what ever the path is) is currently unavailable. the odd thing is it pops the path you typed in, in a windows explorer win…

Hi, I'm testing with a ts 2008 server and remote app. A customer uses an online (internet) application (via local pc)in which he can select a ms-word document. If it is selected than the contents of the document must be displayed in the remote app ms-word application. Is this possible? I did read something about making this connection via a msi file but don't know if this is correct. Thx. Ramon
