Users must not connect to active session
by Guest Count Blackula- 5 replies
- 638 views
Hi everybody! I have following scenario/problem: W2003 TS running in a school. To avoid too many dead sessions, the session count per user is restricted to 1 session only. Also the "reconnect only from same client" hook is set. In the logon script there is a logoff session that compares username and clientname to a ini-file so that the students can only logon with e.g User01 on Terminal01 User02 on Terminal02 and so on. The problem now is, that some "funny" students discovered, that they can take over a active session from their neighbour by logging on at their trm with the neighbours credentials. Since it is a school there are no passwords set so if user01…

Hi! I am running Windows Terminal Services in Application Mode on a Windows Server 2003 machine. The users at the office premises are gettting access to the server from their desktop with the Remote Desktop Protocol client, through the LAN. Currently they are also able to log on remotely from their home through the Internet. I wish to block this access for some of them. Is there a way to do that? Help appreciated Nicolas

TS keeping printers from old sessions
by Guest Kobus- 2 replies
- 409 views
Good Day Please can someone help, i have a Windows 2003 server with around 50 users connecting to it, sometimes the TS will keep their printers from previous sessions, so it will show two printers eg: HP1018 in session 10 and HP1018 in session 12 , i think this maybe from the users being disconnected if the line drops, or maybe if they close the terminal sever session by clicking on the cross at the top of the screen instead of logging off correctly by going, start - logoff. Another problem that happens is that quite often it will show all the printers on the server instead of just the users printers. So i was wandering if there was a way to stop th…

VPN connections on TS server

Terminal Server 2003. I have routing and remote access configured. I see the users connect to the server. But when I try to make a remote access connection back to their machine the entire connection including the client (remote) machine gets hung. I disconnect the session from the routing and remote access console, but the remote machine gets hung. The remote machine is running Vista SP1. The problem is only on this 1 remote access server (TermServer). My old TS running windows 2003 sp2 can make the connection fine. Any idea? I am trying to look through group policy to see if something is blocking this connection from working properly Thanks, SJM…

Licensing Questions
by Guest Hemmy- 3 replies
- 467 views
Hi; Either Terminal Server licensing can be a little confusing or I'm not as bright as I think I am (no comments necessary). Q. Is it correct to say that that a Win2003 TS can either be in USER or DEVICE cal licensing mode? Q. If I use USER cals, that means a single user can logon to the TS from any machine (office PC, home PC, laptop, etc) and only consume one cal? Q. If I use USER cals, and a user logins in 2 times concurrently, I assume that consumes TWO cals? Q. Can DEVICE cals be converted to USER cals? Q. Scenario: A user has a machine with dual monitors and has TWO TS sessions going (one on each monitor). Does that consume 2 USER …

Windows Desktop Search on Terminal Servers

Good morning! I wanted to ask what the general consensus is with respect to deploying the 'latest and greatest' Windows Desktop Search software running on Terminal Server. Just to be clear - my opinion is that it really affects performance (in a negative way). Assuming that others have the same opinion is there anything that can be done (outside of removing it...). Thanks, Cary

Good evening! Okay - this question is a bit involved: I will try to keep it to the facts! Physical Locations: Co-lo: two WIN2003 SP2 ENTERPRISE Terminal Servers; Exchange 2003 Server; WIN2003 SP2 File Server HQ: 25 users, one Member Server / Print Server....six shared Printers ORD1: seven users, one Printer (shared on HQ server) ATL1: four users, one Printer (shared on HQ server) five various sites....three or four users per site There is a SonicWall Firewall-to-Firewall VPN between each of the locations and "HQ" as well as between each of the locations and "Co-Lo". So, getting from "A" to "B" is not a problem. Sample situation: There a…

My issue is that we recently had our Server SBS 2003 rebuilt and the IT guy now tels me that we have to rebuild the Server 2000 which we used as a Terminal Server rebuilt but we do not have the paperwork for the CALS. The company we purchased from has no idea where they are and the company which installed the Server 2000 Terminal Server is no longer in business. So, I know we have 5 Cals but I cannot prove it and I have lost patience trying to get sense pout of the Microsoft people on 132058. Can anyone help or am I up the creek? Thank you, Les

folder redirection and doubing up of folders in user folder
by Guest anthonyx26- 1 reply
- 428 views
Server: TS Windows Server 2008 I set GPOs for folder redirection but when the user logs in and opens up his user folder, it shows all the folders in double. E.g., there are two "documents" folders. One has the regular folder look (it points to c:\users\%username%\documents) and the other has the green windows standard folder...and it points to the redirected folder location on the network (ie \\server\redirects\%username%\documents). I've added a "rmdir" to the login script to automatically delete the local C: drive fodlers, but it seems odd that I should have to do this. Is there a more official way to make this happen without resorting to my "dele…

I have just taken over a 25 node network that is set up with Windows 2000 SBS, and Windows 2000 Terminal Server on 2 boxes. the main server runs the applications needed for the local group, and the Terminal server facilitates remote users who access the same program and data structure set up as a terminal service via vpn connections. they have a firewall set to administer dhcp address to the remote hosts. my question is this, i have noticed that the Terminal Server is set to run in Remote Administration mode, yet it was set up in Application Server mode almost 2 years ago when it was set up. my understanding is this... in RA mode, the server should not …

Windows 2008 Network Level Authentication
by Guest Doug Murphy- 2 replies
- 453 views
Ok, I have read all the threads about CredSSP and XP clients, and have even tested the change sucessfully. My issue is a little broader, however: I have 4,000+ users, with a mix of XP and Vista (probably) that need to access , consistently, a 4 server farm that consists of 2 physical servers and 2 VMs under Hyper-V (these are on another server). All 4 are Windows Server 2008. This is working just fine using a CoyotePoint Equalizer as a hardware load balancer. However, these servers are in a Windows 2003 domain, and we have no plans to change that in the near future. I have no control over the bulk of the remote users, as they are home systems or belo…
