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?

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
- 1k views
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
- 731 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

Single server scenario workable?
by Guest anthonyx26- 6 replies
- 809 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

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…

How to display Remote Apps in TS WEB Access based on AD Group memberskip?
by Guest John Myren- 2 replies
- 756 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?

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

TSAdvertise Feature - how exactly does it work ...
by Guest anonymous- 1 reply

Hi group, does anyone know or have some documents, links, ressources how the tsadvertise feature exactly works? I was wondering because I enabled the registry key (according to KB281307) on all of our servers that we access using RDP and now I am able to see all servers in my RDP-client. Of course that's what I wanted. But for interesst I'd like to know why I also see servers in other network segments. So it is for sure no broadcast mechanism. But how does it work instead? tia for your help Greetings, Marco

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…

IE 6 settings in a TS environment
by Guest Nancy R- 0 replies
- 470 views
Hi folks, I apologize if this is the wrong forum but I have an unusual issue that only occurs on our TS servers, it does not happen on our client workstations. We are running 2 Citrix PS 4.0 servers on Windows Server 2003 SP1. What is happening is every 1-2 days the Internet Explorer settings get changed so that Outlook Express is the default mail client instead of Outlook. Our end users then run into problems when trying to send e-mail from within MS Office and other programs. We have a very limited group of users (6) who have the ability to even view the IE Programs tab, let along change it. I have spoken with all of them and they assure me the…

Lexmark X5270 on 2003 TS
by Guest Gregg Hill- 7 replies
- 699 views
Hello! I called Lexmark and asked if the X5270 had terminal server compatible drivers for Windows Server 2003. I got a tech who seemed confused when I mentioned terminal server, but he did find a 2003 driver. When pressed to tell me if it was TS-compatible, he hesitated, asked someone else, and then said it was compatible. Due to the nature of the conversation and the hesitancy in his voice, I decided to ask here for real-world experience. So, does anyone know if the drivers for the Lexmark X5270 are really compatible with TS 2003, or perhaps which printer map I can use safely? Some Google searches have said to try an HP LaserJet 4 driver, but this …
