Guide for Secure communication between client and TS
by Guest Goku 316- 3 replies
- 330 views
We have 2 TS farms both containing 2003 sp2 servers. For the general part the clients are outsiders with windows xp and higher. Also Mac clients are connected with the old and new rdp software from mactopia website. Worried about secure communication between the server and the clients. Want to avoid DoS attacks, dictionary password cracking as well as man in the middle scenarios. As it stands the Encryption level (in RDP-TCP properties) is set to “Client Compatible”. Will setting the encryption level to high be enough to be safe? It is 128 bit encryption. (I am aware of the SSL cert setup but trying to avoid this since the clients are all outsider…

New Twist (and problem) with TS...
by Guest NewMan- 9 replies
- 486 views
We have receontly installed a Win 2008 Server. I added the Hyoer-V role, and installed a virtual instance of a Win2000 Server. I have no problem accessing the WIn2000 server via Remote Desktop / Terminal Services. Here is the twist.... Non-Admin users cannot log on locally. No problem, there is an option for that Right???? WRONG! You cannot access the "Allow logon through Terminal Services" element of Group Policy when you are accessing the group policy via a Terminal Services Session! ACK! With a virtualized machine, the ONLY kind of connection is a Terminal Services Session! I tried accessing via the Hypervisor console, but all it does is con…

KB/Q Search, no RDP sfter reboot
by Guest STWright- 0 replies
- 257 views
Hi I have found an article in the past that explained the difference between a User initiated shutdown and a System initiated shutdown. Many of the repsonses to similar questions about "no rdp after reboot" mention the use of shutdown.exe, and this is indeed the fix offered by the KB/Q article I am looking for. However, I would like to be able to qoute the article number in some documentation for some procedures I am putting together. I have searched high and low but I am now requesting your help...who ever might come along. 930045 is not what I am after as it suggests a hanging server and that's not what I get. The article I want centered arou…

adding W2k8 terminal server to sbs2k3 domain
by Guest TomMiami- 5 replies
- 371 views
Current situation: SBS2k3 domain, 5 users inhouse running a server based database. Future situation requires 5 users in-house plus 5-10 users in-field. Please let me know if I am on the right (best and economical) path with this scenario: New Windows Server 2008 5 user (+ 5 later if/when reqd) New Terminal Services Lic 5 user (+ 5 later if/when reqd) Continue to serve db on SBS2k3 to in-house users and in-field users through new TS (W2k8) server to sbs2k3. I believe RemoteApp will be a winner for us. Do we need 5 additional licences for the SBS2k3? Any suggestions would be greatley appreciated!

- 273 views
Currently we've setup our Terminal Server on Windows 2008 server. We have already 5 User CALs which is installed on a existing Terminal Server running on Windows 2003 Server (also the AD domain) My Questions are: How do I transfer the existing CALs to Windows 2008 Terminal Server? Is it possible? or Do I need to setup TS Licensing on Win2008 server and then move the CALs from Win2003 Server? or Do I need purchase fresh CALs for Windows 2008 Server? Any solutions would be appreciated Thanks Prakash

Can not access Terminal Server via Remote Desktop
by Guest Adam V.- 5 replies
- 409 views
Hello: I have a Windows Server 2003 R2 running Terminal Services. We have a second location that accesses this server via RDP over a VPN. Everything has worked fine for a couple of years. This morning, no one could connect to the server through RDP (either from the remote location or locally). When it fails to connect, it says "your Remote Desktop Session has ended possibly for one of the following reasons : network problem, admin ended the session, an error occurred . . ." I noticed under Terminal Server licensing that the activation status was "NOT ACTIVATED". I went ahead and reinstalled the terminal server CALs. Then, I noticed the C: drive…

TS session minor annoyances...that are making me crazy!
by Guest Gregg Hill- 6 replies
- 429 views
Hello! I have some minor appearance issues to which I cannot yet find an answer. I am posting here in the hope that some bored guru will stumble upon this post while I am off on Google looking for the answer. 1) I cannot turn off the "Stop USB Mass Storage Device" item in the system tray when restricted users are logged into a locked down 2000 TS. I have "Hide the notification area" checked under User Config > Admin Templates > Start Menu and Taskbar. I need to kill that so no end user can disable the USB backup drive on the TS. 2) Another thing I have Googled to death is trying to find a GPO setting to enable desktop icon auto arrange for all…

What obviously seemed like a simple task has turned into an issue. TS Web is installed and is functioning just fine. Since the default installation is a sub folder in the default web site, I am trying to do a redirect so users don't have to add the "/ts" when they type a url. I'd be much appreciated if anyone has any ideas why I can't this to work. thanks, Brian

Allowing users to see their own desktop and All Users desktop
by Guest Gregg Hill- 1 reply
- 305 views
Hello! I have a Win 2000 terminal server that I locked down a couple of years ago using the "Locking Down Windows Server 2003 Terminal Server Sessions" document. It is a member server in an SBS 2003 domain, with the GPO being on the SBS 2003 server and applied to a "Terminal Servers" OU that has only the TS in it. I had it set so that users could see only the All Users desktop and had their own Star Menu where they could have icons specific to particular users. Now I want them to be able to have their own desktop as well as the All Users desktop because some users want the ability to create shortcuts on the TS desktop to frequently used files that re…

- 355 views
I have a user that recently upgraded his home PC to vista. He has a brother intellifax 2820 printer. Apparently this printer worked on his old XP PC but does not work on the new one. I have 2 questions. the first is when you go to add a printer driver in server properties when it asks what driver you want to install Vista is not an option. Also because this is a multifunction device I would like to use a simple driver that would work in its place. Can someone recommend a replacement driver for it? TIA Thomas
