How to disable logging of failed printer installation
by Guest Brian- 7 replies
- 411 views
Various client stations of my terminal servers have virtual printers (CutePDFWriter, etc.) that do not exist on the TS. I would actually prefer that clients disable printer connections, but that does not always get done, and so it fills up the TS event log with pairs of 1106/1111 errors. (printer could not be installed / Driver... is unknown) What is the registry entry for disabling logging of printer installation-related events on the TS?

Greetings all, I'm having some issues trying to manage Internet Explorer 6 through Group Policy. I've setup a new GPO and associated it with the OU I want.

Thin Clients vs Win XP / PE
by Guest Marcus Cotey- 8 replies
- 409 views
We have several users using thin clients to connect to Win 2003 Terminal Services. We also have several users using WinXP and MSTSC to connect. We even have a few that use Win PE2.0 and MSTSC to connect to the TermServ farm. The WinXP and the WinPE clients have keyboard delays when connecting. The thin clients do not. What would cause this delay? Before someone suggests this article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/324446 I have already read it. We cannot enable those advance features on our RAID array (Thanks Dell) and so that is not an option. How would I even test for that anyway? I mean, if that really is the issue I could probably lobby to g…

Automate Login to TS from RDP
by Guest ponga- 3 replies

Hey gang, I just got tasked to login to 100+ XP boxes via RDP - so I am searching for a way to ease the pain, so far no luck. At first I was looking for a way to make a connectoid that stores the un/pass (they are all the same) - but the XP boxes are set to disallow such a thing in GP. So, my next though was just to find a way that I can Ctrl- V the password in so I don't have to type it everytime, but simply cannot find a way to do it. I've tried so-called keystroke emulators, etc - but nothing works. Any tips would be much appreciated here, Thanks!! -ponga

Send Message - Admin Rights
by Guest JohnB- 4 replies
- 408 views
Our users work exclusively through RDP. For some reason a handful of users were given local admin rights, so that they could send each other messages using Task Manager. I found this article: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc786099.aspx Which says "You must have Message permission in order to send messages". And I looked at what rights Remote Desktop Users has, and it includes the Send Message right. But... our users that don't have local admin rights still can't send a message using this method. Can anyone else use this Send Message option, without having local admin rights? TIA

Adding an 2nd TSS (2003)
by Guest David- 8 replies

Hi, I need to split off (not really load balancing) half our our organization from our existing TS, which houses an application (a real drag) to a new TSS( 2003 Standard R2) to relieve some of the burden from the Application/TS server. This is a medium term fix. I'm in a real bind, given the current application and Hardware resources i'm supprised its working at all. So, how do I have an additional TSS share resources from an Application server (again, the new TSS will not have the application loaded)? Thanks, David

Limit _Minimum_ Color Depth
by Guest Morten Frederiksen- 8 replies
- 406 views
Is it possible to limit the minimum color depth allowed for terminal service sessions on a Windows 2003 server? (An application running on the server will crash if users connect with anything less than 24 bit color depth.) I know that it is possible to limit the maximum color depth by using group policies, but this is unfortunately the opposite of what is required. Regards, Morten

- 405 views
I have a Terminal Server running in a domain. All the User Profiles are roaming profiles which were set via an Active Directory Group Policy. In fact the same group policy deletes the locally cached profile on logout. The problem is the boot drive is running out of disk space during the workday when usres are logged in becasue the locally cached profiles are saved to this boot drive. I have another drive partition that has plenty of space and I need to know how to have the Terminal Server save the local profiles to this new drive, as opposed to the default c:\Documents and Settings.... please help -mike

tsshutdn command
by Guest Brad Pears- 4 replies
- 405 views
In a power fail situation (we seem to have them often where we are located) I want to run a script on our terminal server to notify the users of an imminent shutdown and then actually shut the terminal server down. To do this I thought I would use the "tsshutdn 120" command to shut the terminal server down in 2 minutes. The actual script this command is embedded in will not have run until after having already been on UPS battery power for 5 minutes so that should give users plenty of time to get off the system. However, I want to ensure that the server can be powered back up unattended by the attached Smart UPS once power is restored. I ahve my UPS config…
