Windows 2008 Network Level Authentication
by Guest Doug Murphy- 2 replies
- 441 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…

TS RAP - AD group & FQDN
by Guest Andrew Meinert- 4 replies
- 472 views
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc731435.aspx That indicates that with an AD security group, both FQDN and NetBios names will pass the connection policy. I have a bunch of desktops in a security grup and have selected it within TS Gateway. This is the only enabled policy. If I connect to a computer using the netbios name, fine. If it merely append the domain name, I am rejected by the RAP. If I switch to all network resources in the RAP, I can connect using both. Has anyone else encountred the same thing?

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…

Help with IE7 Tabs Server 2003x64 R2
by Guest rjcmi- 1 reply
- 362 views
I am running Terminal Server under Windows Server 2003x64 R2. The individual users are not able to used tabbed browsing in their sessions. I have looked though the GPO for the individual units but can not locate the setting to enable tabs. Do I need to install a separate administrative template? If I go into the individual user setting, tabs are enabled, but it makes no difference. I'm still pretty new to this system so any help would be appreciated.

Access error in Terminal Server
by Guest CCripe- 1 reply
- 424 views
In an Access 2003 database, there is a macro that captures the user's environ name and inserts it in a field. To make this work, the user must go into Macro=>Security and set the security level to low. This works fine everywhere but TS. If you set the macro security to low on TS, the function works for a day or so, then it stops working and you get this error: "The expression you entered has a function name that (database name) can't find." If they go in and tell it AGAIN to set the macro security to low in Access, it will work for awhile and then stops. It doesn't seem to matter what rights the person has; Administrator, Power User, etc. All …

VPN Connections to TS server
by Guest SJMP- 1 reply
- 403 views
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? Thanks, SJMP

Windows Desktop Search on Terminal Servers
by Guest Cary Shultz- 4 replies
- 555 views
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…

Licensing Questions
by Guest Hemmy- 3 replies
- 457 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 …

folder redirection and doubing up of folders in user folder
by Guest anthonyx26- 1 reply
- 418 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…

RDP Sound skipping
by Guest Gretchen Hembree- 3 replies
- 459 views
I have successfully set up sound through my RDP session. My problem now is that the sound is skipping. I have tried a few tests with sound through IE or sound actually stored on the server HD. Both skip. When you log into the RDP (and have Windows default sound activated) the start up sound does not appear to skip. I am wondering if this is a setting that can be worked on or if it is based on the physical internet connection. I am trying this from a remote site. I haven't gone to the physical location of the server to test an RDP connection from that office. IE has always been a bit slower through RDP than on your local desktop. Is there…

Problem with Win 2008 TS Easy Print
by Guest Trygve Lorentzen- 1 reply
- 388 views
Hi, we have serious issue with the new feature "Easy Print" in 2008 server. The problem is that the physical margins of the local/client printers are not carried over to the easy print driver on the TS. This is not a big issue with all software that has a proper page setup dialogue with settings for all 4 margins. The problem arises with software that depends on the physical margins set in the print driver to place the print correctly. Is there any settings for this? Like "Use physical margins from printer driver", somewhere in registry perhaps, or in a settings file. I have spent a few days trying to make this work and I'm running out of ideas... Mayb…

On connection, I receive the following error: "This computer can't connect to the remote computer. Try connecting again.

After receiving the message, we logon to the server from the console and run a netstat and see that 3389 is not listening. Also, if we run tsadmin and go to sessions, we do not see an RDP-Tcp session listed. I do not always receive this message, sometime…

Thin client support for TS Gateway
by Guest lamaslany- 10 replies
- 621 views
We have been using Terminal Services for our desktop provision to staff for many years now and as a result we have many dozens of HP thin clients out in the field (and by field I mean teleworking locations and in the homes of our staff). 80% of our users are able to work remotely in this fashion and the remaining 20% work on the terminal servers using thin clients on site. We are looking to move to Windows Server 2008 and one of the main features we are looking to implement is the TS Gateway. Unfortunately while users with access to PCs and laptops (~20%) should have no problems I am growing concerned for the thin client users. Is there a list of sup…

- 494 views
Have a problem with TS logon. 2003 server, I can RDC into the server with any account other than the built in Administrator account. When I RDC into server with this account, it allows me to log in, then get a blank desktop. This will stay this way for a little while and then auto log me out. I have tried logging with a second connection to no avail. I can use Ctrl-Shift-End and bring up Taskmgr, nothing else is running. Cannot see the taskbar or any icons? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Question regarding HP compatibility doc
by Guest Gregg Hill- 1 reply
- 395 views
Hello! While on hold with HP, I am looking at page 7 of this document http://h71028.www7.hp.com/ERC/downloads/4AA0-8465ENW.pdf to see if an HP Color LaserJet 3600n is compatible on a 2003 TS. It shows as supported in Citrix and mentions an HP driver under the Host-based column. It does not support PCL or PS, so I cannot map it to a built-in driver. The introduction to the doc seems to indicate that it is specific to Citrix environments and it is not clear (to me) if this doc is applicable to TS **without** Citrix. Is this document specific to Citrix, or if a printer is Citrix compatible it means it is also TS 2003 compatible? I think the latter may b…

Multiple Terminal services Servers Licencing split
by Guest astronomer2002- 3 replies
- 416 views
I have two Terminal Servers (Windows 2003) one of them controlling the licences. The second server has just been added to run a specific application. I want each server to have its own licence pool as each caters for a different set of remote users within the same active directory. I cannot see how to do this. I have a 25 pack of licences for one server and a new 10 pack for the other. I do not want to simply top-up the 25 as this will inevitably lead to one group of users hogging the licences. The licencing mode is per user and one server has been in operation for 3 years. Can anyone suggest a way to ration ts cals in this way?
