Blank Screen after RDP Logon
by Guest jama- 1 reply
- 248 views
After logging in using RDP, I get a blank screen for a while and then disconnect. Once it looked like the desktop would load but only flashed on the screen for a fraction of a second. I think I saw it say something like "hm sync window error" but it was literally a flash on the screen. VNC and LogMeIn both work fine, but I would prefer to use the RDP client only. I have tried disabling the bitmap caching, different resolutions and color depth, removing VNC, tried MTU 1300 and 1500, tried different user accounts, and am out of ideas. Thanks for your help.

How do you prevent the security warning "unknown publisher" for all users?
by Guest Saucer Man- 24 replies
- 915 views
When a user launches a RemoteAPP program, he gets an Open File - Security Warning. It says "The publisher could not be verified. Are you sure you want to run this software?" The dialog prompt refers to the drive letter mapping and the .exe in question. How can I set up the terminal server so these prompts do not happen to any user? -- Thanks!

Redirected Printer Disappears
by Guest Sarah Kingswell- 1 reply
- 265 views
One particular terminal server user on a Windows 2003 Terminal server uses printer redirection to map a local HP 1018 Laser Printer. This has been working for a year or so. Just recently the printer has been disappearing from the users profile. They are able to print to it and then it just suddenly disappears. Has anyone experienced this before? -- Solent Carpentry Services Ltd 3 Capel Ley Purbrook Hampshire PO7 5PU Tel: 02392 782875 Mobile: 07721 529512 Privileged/Confidential Information may be contained in this message.

SP2 on Windows 2003 Terminal Server getting "Low on Registry Space
by Guest Dennis_S- 17 replies

After installing SP2 on Windows 2003 Terminal Server I came in the next morning and saw on the server "Windows - Low on Registry Space - The system has reached the maximum size allowed for the system part of the registry. Additional storage requests will be ignored." Users logging onto TS get "Windows was unable to load the profile but has logged on with the default profile system. Default - Insufficiant system resources exist to complete the requested service." It appears that up to six-eight users are able to log on before a user gets the Unable to load profile. Log a couple users off and another is able to log on. If reboot the server and it i…

We want to give a user access to a server via Remote Desktop and only give them access to a single program. This works perfectly fine, howerver when the user (or us as Administrators) close the program, the program closes but their is no way to exist out of the session unless you disconnect. By no way I mean the screen is just blue, looks like explorer.exe didnt start or something. This seems to be common behaviour across many of our servers. Why is this and can we have it so when the program closes we can just go to the remote desktop sessions desktop?

Gurus, What is your position on remotely installing software via RDP/Terminal Services? In other words, sitting at your desk somewhere, logging into a remote server using the Remote Desktop protocol, and installing software. I believe ""shadow key corruption" could occur in this manner and advise against it. I am looking for other thoughts however. -- Spin

Terminal server connection temporarily hangs
by Guest steve- 0 replies
- 229 views
Hello We have just deployed an application to our users using Windows 2003 terminal services. As far as I can tell, all of our timeout values for idle/disconnected sessions seem to be working fine. The only problem is that when users work on other applications for a while and leave the terminal app idle (for maybe 30 minutes or more), the terminal app is frozen/hung for 30 seconds or so when they return to it. For instance, they will click a menu in the terminal application and nothing will happen. If they do nothing and wait for 20 seconds or so, all the sudden the menu appears and everything works as it should. No notification from the terminal server a…

We have a Server 2008 Terminal server on a Server 2003 AD. We have set the Session Timeout in GPO and attached it to the OU TSServer in which the server resides, but it appears to have no effect on the Session Timeout for the Clients. We have check that the GPO is being applied to the Terminal Server. Is there a difference on the GPO for Server 2008 Terminal Services. Thansk Jim

In a terminal services session, is the default printer set on a per session basis or per server basis? In other words, if user A sets the default printer on the terminal server and then user B sets the default printer to a different printer, do A and B now have the same default printer? Vincent

Screen Res
by Guest Mike K- 1 reply
- 296 views
Morning all, We have a TS 2003 Farm running very nicely with all thin clients / PCs using RDP to access a standardised desktop. A single application has to be run in 1024x768 120% fonts. The company that support the product tell me that we can make this work but I'm lost on how to do it. All of the users connect using their native screen resolution (1280x1024 for the most part) and simply login using RDP. I must be missing something here but I guess they are potentially talking about publishing the application or something? Can anyone shed some light on this for me please? Many thanks, Mike

TS licences not being issued
by Guest Rob S- 2 replies
- 286 views
Hi, A couple of months ago I installed a Windows 2003 server, with terminal services, and at that time I enabled TS but didn't have any licences installed, so it started issuing temporary ones. In the meantime I purchased and installed a retail pak 10 user licence (per user). It shows up in licencing as Total 10 Available 10. The temporary ones are still being used, and today I got a message saying they would expire in 0 days. Does this mean it will automatically start using the "real" ones, or do I need to do something? thanks in advance -Rob robatwork at mail dot com

TSGateway without SSL
by Guest Stuart Parker- 1 reply
- 277 views
Hi, I'm setting up TSGateway for my small home office. Is it possible to remove the requirement to use SSL?. I know it's not recommended, but I'm not fussed about the security side for this implementation. Another reason for this is that I have a single public static IP, and am using ISA server. I am already publishing OWA thru SSL, using forms authentication, and cant' have multiple web listeners for port 443 having only a single public IP address. Cheers.

My Windows 2008 terminal server is not on a domain. I would like to set mandatory profiles for the users connecting to terminal services.

I set up my user with the settings I wanted and then went to the User Profile dialog box where I Copied the desired profile assigning permissions to Everyone as outlined in the instructions.

KB951748 creates problems with USB printers
by Guest WDS- 0 replies
- 224 views
If a user has KB951748 installed, their USB printers will no longer connect properly to Terminal Services. Usually not even showing up as an available printer on the server. When they log off their PC will hang for several minutes. After logging off their printer will show on the server as still connected. While they are connected the printer does not show up. restarting the print spooler does clear out the old connections. If they untick printers under resources before doing the RDP connection then they logg off normally with no hang. If KB951748 is uninstalled the problem goes away until autoupdate puts it back in. Service Pack 3 appears to h…

I have just taken over support of an old W2000 (with SP4) server acting as a terminal server and a license server. Everything has been fine for about 4 or 5 years relating to external clients connecting via terminal services.

If i try and connect i get the error "The remote computer disconnected the session because of an error in the licensing protocol. Please try connecing to the remote computer again or contact your server administrtor." Event ID 1004 "The terminal server cannot issue a client l…

TS deployment & licenses
by Guest Russ Goodwin- 4 replies
- 343 views
My customer currently runs a small office in workgroup mode with 7 PC's. Her 8 employees remotely RDP to each desktop and work from home. (2 are part time and share a PC). We want to colsolidate the desktops by putting a Windows 2003 Terminal Server on the network. Questions: Can the Terminal Server stay as a member server, and use local user accounts for her employees - or does there have to be a true Active Directory domain controller on the network? The Terminal Server server can also be the Terminal Server Licensing Server (i.e. both roles on the same hardware), correct? She needs a Windows Server 2003 CAL and a TS 2003 CAL for each employee…
