Terminal services suddenly have stopped working..
by Guest averied- 7 replies

Hi.. There is a problem in only one of our servers.. The thing is that everything was working fine.. I had some users in the terminal server users group and they were connecting to this server.. But today, I don't know what happened, everytime I try to connect to this server, I get an error: To log on to this remote computer, you must have Terminal Server User Access permissions on this computer. By default members of the Remote Desktop Users group have these permissions. If you are not a member of the Remote Desktop Users group or another group another group that has these permissions, you must be granted these permissions manually. Also I went t…

Are there any issues between Windows Vista and Terminal Server on Windows 2003? We have 2 computers that were originally assigned Device CALs. They were originally Windows 2000 and Windows XP computers. They were lease replaced by new Windows Vista computers and now when they login remotely thru Terminal Services they get disconnected from their session every 5-10 minutes.

Desktop in Remote Desktop

Hello all in the MS world. I have a client that swears that at one point he was able to drag and drop files from his desktop PC (host machine) to his win 2k3 server's desktop while using RDP. The thing is i think he is right, i could have sworn that i've done that at some point. Alas, now i have no luck I know that it is possible to access drives from the my computer console of the server, yet this would involve to many steps I've been through all the settings in the Terminal server settings on the host machine, and i've taken a look at the registry keys that are in the "Current Control Set->Terminal Server" tree. Does anyone know h…

Clipboard is Breaking
by Guest Will- 1 reply
- 331 views
I have an ongoing problem connecting from a Windows XP client to a terminal server in administration mode on a Windows 2000 server where the clipboard works after I connect the RDP client, but after a few minutes the clipboard stops working. I try to copy something from the Windows XP client and it no longer is transferred to the Windows 2000 TS Host's clipboard. I can simply disconnect, reconnect, and the clipboard works again. Three to 10 minutes later, it breaks again. The pattern is infinitely repeatable. Is there some setting on either client or host that would keep the clipboard intact? Is there a third party application that might act as a clipboa…

I have purchased 100 Terminal Server Per User CAL Tokens. My two Winsows 2003 Terminal Servers are set to Per User licensing mode. However the CALS are currently being issued as Tempory Licenses for Windows Server 2003 - Terminal Server Per Device CAL Token. They are all set to expire beginning next week. My licensing server is a DC running Windows 2003 Standard w/ SP2. What do I need to do to correct this issue?

Rookie questions
by Guest sjs- 1 reply
- 305 views
Be prepared, I have NO idea what I'm doing here...I have a server which I've installed 10 TS CAL's. I have users that I want to hit this server over our VPN to access an Access database. All these users belong to the domain and I've added them to the Remote Access Security Group. Here are a few rookie questions: 1. Do I have to install Access any difference on the server than normally since it's being used via TS? 2. How to I customize the Desktop users see when they log in to the server via TS? 3. How do I restrict the use of other apps installed on this server? 4. On the user's local pc, do I have them run "mstsc.exe" to initiate the TS connection…

Remote Desktop Connection fails on Win98SE
by Guest Ciofegates- 1 reply
- 287 views
Since some days, I receive the following message when I try to access to my W2003 terminal server from a Win98SE pc: Remote Desktop Disconnected The remote connection has timed out. Please try connecting to the remote computer again. [ok] [?] I have searched with google a solution of my problem, but without success. I have tried to connect using either the server name or the server IP. Same bad result. It is not a lan traffic problem: when i boot from the same pc in Linux mode, I can access the terminal server regularly. Can anyone who has experienced the same problem suggests to me something to do? Many thanks.

DFS replication and TS profiles
by Guest Jeff- 1 reply
- 307 views
If I am only allowing one terminal session, is there an easy way to setup DFS replication of our roaming profiles for backup purposes? And if this is possible is it not a good idea to point roaming profile locations to an Active Directory share setup as a DFS namespace instead of to a direct server share. If this is possible, on the event that the server housing the roaming profiles goes down I could redirect to a server that was part of the replication. Any articles or ideas on this?

New to TS
by Guest RogerS- 2 replies
- 343 views
I am running a peer-to-peer network (mixed OS from XP Home, XP Professional to Vista Basic and Vista Basic Premium) at the moment but my company has opened a new office in a different state. The office is connected via VPN to our main office and I have an access based database application that is used over the VPN. The application runs very slow in the existing environment (it is installed on a XP Pro computer) and it was suggested to me to use Terminal Services. Here are my questions as a newbie to TS: - Do I need Windows Server 2003 or can I purchase just Windows Server 2003 Terminal Services? (I've read that in order to use TS I will need TS Cals, bu…

Question about new GPO policy
by Guest Avari- 1 reply

As Per Document: How to lock down a Windows Server 2003 or Windows 2000 Terminal Server session - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/278295 I have created a new OU and placed all TS/Citrix servers in this OU. I have Block Inheritance in this OU. Following instructions on the above document I have created and linked the GPO to the OU where the users reside, I have implemented a loopback policy to lockdown user sessions on Terminal Server/Citrix. Using a test user the GPO works great as I wanted on the TS/Citrix server, however I've just logged onto Windows XP PC and the GPO/policy is being applied to desktops I only want the GPO/policy applied to Termina…

Hi, There, Last time we found the network printer with RJ-45 interface and build-in print server can not be mapped on the TS when login to remote Terminal server, we checked and got the document from MS as following: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/302361/en-us It instructed to change client registry then it will work, I did the test, yes, it worked fine after the changes.

Is that any other solution to solve the problem, like any patches from Ms. Because for windows vista, it does not need the changes…

Environmental Variables ini file
by Guest slawrie- 1 reply
- 301 views
I have a program that normally installs on a workstation and has an ini file that sets user specific variables within the program. The problem is that when it is installed on a teminal server all users are accessing the same ini file. I was told that I could create a directory for each user and place the ini file in the individual directory. Then delete the original ini file. I was also told I would need to set an environmental variable that would find each users ini file. I am unsure how to do that and could use some advice. Thanks, Steve

TS, GPO, diffent users
by Guest Hugh O'Donnell- 5 replies
- 457 views
I have: 1. Set up a server for Remote Desktop access. 2. Created a Security Group (acct_users) and only allow them to access this TS. 3. Created OU for server (term_server) and linked GPO with loopback on it. 4. Set default application for TS via the GPO. 5. Set Domain Admin's "Apply this Policy" to Denied in the GPO. My problem is, 1. When a Domain Admin TS's into this machine, they still run the default app. (I'm sure this is because the loopback doesn't look at what user is being run... but how do I implement this?) 2. Users can still jack around with the local drives from the application's "Save As" dialog. Is there a way to keep them out of the l…

Configuring Terminal Services in a test lab just for the practice of installation and configuration. Using Eval copy of 03 from the MSPRESS self-paced training kit. Set up three servers-- one DC, two member servers. Configured both severs as Term Servers. Installed Term Serv Licensing on SRV1. From SRV2- I can terminal into SRV1 without issue. From SRV1- I cannot terminal into SRV2. I receive a lengthy logon message relating to permissions and RDP membership. RDP membership is fine, rights are fine, etc. If I install another Term Serv Licensing server also on SRV2- error goes away. Did it again- one way. TSL was on SRV1, TS on SRV2. Could n…

TS Licensing Server now not Fuctioning?
by Guest Andrew- 2 replies
- 310 views
I have a Windows 2003 R2 box setup as our Terminal Service Licensing Server. The server was for a long time functioning properly. However recently I removed the server as a Domain Controller, it is still a member of the domain. My other W2K3 Enterprise server is now complaining that it can not find a TS Licensing Server in the domain. When I run TS Licensing "snap-in" on the server which is supposed to be the TS Licensing server, it states it can't find a TS License Server either. If I hit ok, and then select connect and enter the machines own name, it finds the activated Licenses server. Close and open the "snap-in" and it throws the error again.…

Hosting Applications on Redundant Terminal Servers

Hello, I have two redundant TS on which I am going to be running some HMI application. I am curious as to how this system will act if the user is connected to Server A and then Server A fails how can I assure that when the user reconnects to B that they will have the same application running. Is it as simple as having the application running on both servers all the time, doesnt seem this simple since the user may have specific items open in their session. Please advise...

Your terminal services temporary client license will expire in * days. Please contact your system administrator to get a permanent license. Hi, Our users are getting this message when logging into one of our windows 2003 servers through mstsc. We have 5 per user licenses available but even though the licensing mode is set to per user, it still only issues temporary licenses. I've been searching for a while and I found this quote on the microsoft site: "Currently, Windows Server 2003 does not manage User CALs. This means that even though there is a User CAL in the license server database, the User CAL will not be decremented when it is used. This does not r…

Redundant Terminal Server Licensing Issues
by Guest Terminal Servers Licensing Issues- 3 replies
- 353 views
Hello All, I am new to this forum and I am in dire need of some help. Here is my situation. Two Windows Server 2003 (standard) servers that I want to run redundantly. Windows XP (SP 2) clients. I think I want the servers setup to be each both a terminal server and a licensing server in case one fails. I have implemented NLB with these servers but I am not sure if this is going to act the way I want. I have 10 TS CALS on each machine and each is registered as a licensing server. I think I also need to setup Session Directory for these servers. I essentially want the client to be able to connect and get a TS CAL (per device) no matter if either ser…

Disabling Windows Printer Mappings
by Guest Alex Anderson- 2 replies
- 313 views
Hello Everyone, I have TS 5.0 and I know you can disable windows printer mappings however does this setting apply to mapped printers via login script? The login script has to run so they get their networked drives, however the printers (because of the application being used on the TS server) need to be disabled from being run from the login script since we setup the printers manually on this TS server instead. Right now the TS server has a check mark next to Windows Printer Mappings, and I'm assuming it's disabled. I guess I need a clarification what this setting means and if there's a way to disable printers being mapped over via login script.
