Remote Access to Windows 2008 ?
by Guest Patrick- 5 replies
- 425 views
We just install our first Windows 2008 Server. We find that when we use RDP to access it, it works as remote access (we haven't used /admin option). From the web, we learn that Windows 2008 supports 2 active session if TS is not installed. If it is true, we wonder why RDP session is a Console Session. Your advice is sought.

The server failed to retrieve the SID of Session BRoker
by Guest Kristin L. Griffin- 7 replies

Hi Folks, I have a weird issue. Even through the session broker server says my terminal servers joined ok, the terminal server system logs say differently. I get this message: The server failed to retrieve the security identifier (SID) of the TS Session Broker server. Win32 error code: 0x534. All terminal services connections go to only one server - they are not dispersed. Here are some network details and things I have ruled out: This is a Win2k8 environment. I have a farm of terminal servers (obviously) This is a completely virtual server environment, using HyperV I am not having network, dhcp, dns issues. Everything is running fine in that…

Disable remote desktop connection security warning
by Guest Guy Yardeni- 3 replies
- 423 views
Hi, I'm deploying a TS solution and automatic client machines so that they auto login and then launch the RDP client and connect to the TS farm. On first connection, they get the security warning because the client drives are redirected to the server. There is a checkbox on the warning to never warn you again for this server, I'd like to pre-deploy this to all client machines - it is stores in a registry key or another place that can be accessed with a script? My servers are Windows 2003 and clients are Windows 2000, XP and XPe. Thanks, Guy

Enable Remote Desktop via group policy
by Guest Joe Murphy- 8 replies
- 423 views
I know that I can enable this throughout our organization using group policy, but what I want to be sure of is that the end-user has control over whether or not to allow the remote desktop session. I want to avoid any IT "big brother" perception. They already think we sit around reading their emails. ;) Thanks, JM

Terminal server Profile folders
by Guest SPP-IT- 2 replies
- 422 views
When a new user is created we add under terminla server profile in AD the path to the location we store all are users profiles. \\Servername\profiles\username what is happening, when the folder for the user is created it is not inherating permisions from the parent folder. This is not a problem for the domain admins, but we have Help Desk Techs who are a member of a Group and we have added them to the profiles folder with modify permisions, since the folders do not inherat the perminsion we need to go in manually and check this option. I have two questions. 1) is this because the System Account is creating the folder and by design does not check the opti…

We host our applications on terminal server and implement a customized html page that uses the MSRDP ActiveX control. The problem that we have is with clients complaining that when they open another link on their workstation, the IE window with our TS session surrenders control and allows navigation away. I know the recommended solution is to uncheck the "reuse windows for launching shortcuts" or the similar settings for tabbed browsers. The problems with this is at some larger clients their domain Group Policies restore the settings so the clients have to repeat it every day and sometimes multiple times throughout the day. We looked into handling t…

Always ask for login information AND RDP client 6.0
by Guest George Valkov- 2 replies
- 421 views
I have configured my server to always ask for login information. The server is 2003 EE SP2. ( [Administrative tools --> Terminal services configuration --> Connections --> RDP-Tcp --> Logon Settings] Always use the following logon information: user name:{blank} domain:{blank} [x] Always prompt for password ) 1. How do I tell the Remote desktop connection client v6.0.6000 not to ask me for user name and password? (it will be ignored anyway) 2. I don't understand what is the use of that dialog, when the server offers a standard logon screen, so is there at least one advantage in using it? Thank You for any advices and answers! Geo…

Restrict to 1 program
by Guest Joe Letter- 9 replies
- 421 views
Hello, I have a win2k3 server setup as a terminal server. I have one application I would like the users to have access to. I've heard that it is possible to restrict TS so that an application starts automatically when the users login. They only have access to that program during the session and if they close the program, the TS session ends. How can this be done? Is there something step-by-step I could follow? Also, how can the be done so that I can still login remotely with the admin account and not have this restriction on my account. Thanks much! Joe.

Hello, I am in the process of setting up a new Terminal Services server. Currently we use 2003 Server with TS installed on a backup server. I have the new server in and was wondering if it would be better to just install Windows 2008 and use the new Terminal services? Currently, 2003 TS has been working well but are limited to printing to a local usb printer. We have one user that was successful in printing to his USB 1022 HP printer. This printer is no longer manufactured so it seems I am running to a dead end on getting local printers to work. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

Processor utilization on Multi Processor Servers
by Guest Riaan de Bruyn- 0 replies
- 418 views
Hi All I've noticed that processes which would normally fully utilizes processors like winzip or winrar etc. only utilizes the capacity of one (1) CPU in a Multi Processor environment via Terminal Services. If you log on to the console of a Terminal Services server, the process will use all CPU's to almost 100% utilization. But through a terminal services session it seems to be limited to use only one CPU. Is this by design or is there a workaround / configuration to all a single process to use more CPU power if available in terminal services? Kind Regards

Adding Users to Local Administrators Group

Hi Everyone, I am relatively inexperienced in TS though I have 20 years experience in Network systems for small business. I am implementing ACT by Sage on W2003R2 TS and the complete functionality/integration with Outlook2003 works only if Users/Domain Users are members of the Local Administrators Group (LAG). I have been using Process Monitor but cannot locate any Access Denied messages when Users are not members of the the LAG. Anyone have ideas on how to identify the 'offending' rights so that I can implement this application without completely eroding security on the TS Regards Piloo

Can not access Terminal Server via Remote Desktop

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…

The strange case of the Excel add-in

Hello, I have a strange situation for which I don't have all the information I would like, but I am posting here anyway in the hopes that the symptoms ring a bell in somebody's mind. I have a Windows 2003 server running Terminal Services. The users connect to it and run a home-made application (written in Visual FoxPro). The server also has Microsoft Office installed. The home-made application can generate a bunch of data that is passed onto Excel, where an add-in (written by an external developer) will massage the data with several pivots and generate a report (all done in Excel within the TS session). The user ends up with two windows open: the FoxPro app…
