Application load balancing & failover
by Guest Calen Slezash- 2 replies
- 276 views
Hello group: I would like to find out what it would take in order to load balance applications on a Windows 2003 Server Ent. Edition/SQL Server 2000 server farm. I recall that this was not possible a couple of years ago, unless one looked at a Citrix solution. I would like users' applications to fail-over to either node in the event that they lose connection to one of the nodes. Another issue is the creation of new user profiles. Currently I am manually setting up a profile twice (once on each server node). I would like to find out if there is a way to create a profile once and have it replicate to all nodes in the farm. Any help or ideas would be m…

Bypassing Application Check for Terminal Services
by Guest langelgjm- 5 replies
- 392 views
I work for a small business, and I have been using Remote Desktop to work from home and school quite happily for the past 3 years. We recently purchased an upgrade to one of our manufacturing software packages (this is high-priced CAD/CAM stuff, complete with hardware security dongles), and I just discovered that the "upgrade" no longer allows the application to be run over Remote Desktop. This wasn't disclosed anywhere. I called the distributor, and was told that my options are to buy a network key and another license for the software, which will cost several thousand dollars, or to use a service like GoToMyPC or VNC. Frankly, I'm at a loss; I don't understand: …

Hi Here is the description of the problem: Installed MS office 2003 on Terminal Server using MST designed to allow auto-generation of the outlook profile whenever new user logs on.

We have an application on the TS that uses access 2000 runtime. the server is windows 2003 server standard. A process access.exe keeps running at large CPU percentages causing the TS to lock up. The user can log off and the process keeps running. I can't kill the process and have to restart the server to stop it. Does any one know of problems running access runtime through TS?

Hi, I want to give one TS user rights to see process information under tsadmin connections so that he can remote control and close open programs if necessary. Does he have to be a local admin or is there another group/rights assignment I can make? As a regular user he can't see processes listed under other users. TIA

Hi all, I have a Windows Server 2003 R2 configured as a standalone Terminal Services server, and a few Windows XP Professional desktops part of an Active Directory domain. I want to create an Active Directory account that users can log in to in the desktops, but that will automatically open a Remote Desktop session to the Terminal Services server (they will then log in to the server using a non-Active Directory account). The account must NOT allow users to do anything on the desktops save automatically opening the RD session, and when the users disconnect or log out of the RD session, the desktops must log out automatically from the Active Directory …

On my other 2003 Terminal servers this link works: \\servername\...\Online_Manuals.CHM::/UGAP30.pdf This opens this pdf in adobe reader without issue. My new terminal server, same OS same everything except for Adobe reader version and IE version, will not open it at all. It has "Done" at the bottom and a blank page. What am I missing? Is there a registry fix or what do I need to do for this to work on my new server. Jeff

Redireted AppData
by Guest ms-dog1- 4 replies
- 357 views
Hi, Currentlyt we are redirecting our AppData (via a Group Policy) to users H drive which is housed on a MS 2003 Cluster. We have seen a few instances of the cluster node is failing. Failover is also failing to happen, as well. There is no clues in the event logs. Could this be due to the Appdata redirection? Too many files open??? Is it time to do some SMB tuning on the cluster and TS servers involved? I realize I have omitted pertinent info such as amount of users, etc but just a possible confirmation this investigation is heading in the right directon as to the possibilites for this issue. Thanks, Andie

Hi, Is there any way to identify the connection and disconnection of a user to a console session, at the server level? Were I work several users have to connect from time to time to the console of a Win2003 server. I'd like to write something that will notify the users if they snatched the console session while it was in use by another user. For that, I need somehow to get the connection and disconnection events, if there's such a thing. Any Ideas?

Group Policy TS User Home setting
by Guest Ragnar- 8 replies
- 428 views
Hi Is there a way using only Group Policy settings to configure multiple home directory shares when using the Computer Configuration setting "TS User Home"? The home directory is a top-level share with subfolder for each home directory. E.g. \\server\user share\%username%. I know it's possible to use variables for the "TS User Home" Group Policy setting and then use it together with Terminal Services Home Folder per user account, however I don't want to use any per-user account settings. Can't really see that this have changed with Windows Server 2008 either.. Thanks. /Ragnar

I have a small network with a Windows SBS 2003 DC. I currently run roaming profiles with the profiles directed to a separate partition on the SBS box. I purchase a second server to run as a terminal server. TS is installed and I can remote to it with RDC. My staff can remote to it using RDC as well but it pulls there current user profile. I want to direct TS users to a separate folder to store their TS Profiles. On a separate partition, I created a folder called TS Profile. I enabled sharing on it. I created a test user in AD, and on its TS Profiles tab, I entered the path to the TS Profile folder. When I test logging on the the TS as test user, it cannot loca…

unable to print to locally attached printer
by Guest Buddy- 2 replies
- 351 views
I have a client that recently experienced a power outage. Since that power outage, they are no longer able to print to their locally attached printers. A variety of printers are affected - laser printers, ink jet printers, parallel printers, usb printers. None are able to print to their attached printer. The printers all print fine locally from the PC. If their printer is shared from their PC, and then within terminal services if it is added as a network printer, printing is successful. In fact, all network defined printers have no problems being printed to within terminal services sessions. They are running Windows Server 2003 as their terminal serve…

Problems With WatchGuard SSL VPN Firewall LDAP Authentication Using Windows Server 2003 Active Directory Log-in Credentials
by Guest NIV Consulting- 0 replies

Problems With WatchGuard SSL VPN Firewall LDAP Authentication Using Windows Server 2003 Active Directory Log-in Credentials I have a WatchGuard SSL VPN firewall, in which the VPN login's were linked using LDAP to the Windows 2000 Active Directory (AD) accounts. With this configuration, the users could login to the VPN using their Windows 2000 AD credentials. When the Windows 2000 Server was upgraded to Windows Server 2003, the AD no longer works with the WatchGuard SSL VPN using LDAP. No configurations to the WatchGuard SSL VPN firewall were changed prior to upgrading to Windows Server 2003. I have heard that this problem may be caused by Windows Server 2003…

Nightmare with saved credentials
by Guest JJ- 3 replies

I'm using Remote Desktop Connection (mstsc.exe 6.0.6000.16386) on XP Pro for remote administration of a number of Windows 2000 Server (SP2 and all the latest patches) and Windows Server 2003 machines. I'm trying to get the client to remember credentials and passwords for the remote connections so that I can simply click a shortcut to connect to any one of the servers. I'm having mixed luck at doing this. One of the odd things is that connections where it once successfully remembered the credentials, it now no longer does. For the Windows 2003 Servers, when I load a RDP file, or even just type in the host name, I see: -------------------------------------…

I've got an interesting question. I currently have a citrix/terminal services server that publishes applications to 6 branch locations. And to get around the horrid printer management of citrix, I disabled the printer autocreation option and setup IP connected printers locally on the citrix server. So these printers are setup so that they will point to the physical printer at each of the branch locations using that print server's IP address. Recently I've had a monkey wrench thrown at me in the form of staff rotation at a few of the branches. My goal now is to create a script that I can place in the startup folder of each user profile that is housed o…

Dual Nics for video and data
by Guest Rename my folders- 5 replies
- 317 views
I have several Terminal Services servers and I want the video traffic for rdp to flow thru 1 nic and the network data to flow thru the other nic. I thought I saw this somewhere online but can't seem to find it again. It's supposed to improve performance. I have users that are complaining about using a certain application on Terminal services that uses images and it is really slow. The cpu and ram are ok and people who are accessing this app from their local machines in the office have no performance issue. So I narrowed it down to the video card on the server and the rdp video traffic that transmitts the video to the user is colliding with the data on…
