Changing the IP and the Name of TS
by Guest Luiz- 1 reply
- 172 views
Hi, I intend to migrate a W2K TS, that is also File Server, to W2K3 TS new hardware, but I want the migration doesn´t cause any impact in the process. First, I will install the new W2K3 TS with a different name and IP from the W2K existent. Then, after everything is configured (licencing server, profiles) in new W2K3 TS, I will change the IP and server name to the same IP and server name old W2KT TS, and deactive the old W2K TS. Is there any problem to do that? Is the correct way? Thanks. Luiz

OU GPO - Problem setting TS Profile Path for users under a specifi
by Guest dudeDad- 8 replies
- 661 views
Here is what I am trying to accomplish: I have 3 different OUs : OU1, OU2, OU3 each with its own set of users. I want all users in OU1 to use the same Mandatory Profile. I want all users in OU2 to use a mandatory profile that is configured just for OU2, ...etc... I try to accomplish this by using a GPO at the OU level to set the TS Roaming profile. Unfortunately, it is not working. When i log in for the first time with one of the child users, it just creates a local account off the default user. Here is the setup: Each of these OUs has several user account defined under them: OU1 --> User11, User12, User13 OU2 --> User21, User22, User…

[W2003] Automatic connection + file downloading?
by Guest Gilles Ganault- 2 replies
- 212 views
Hello Currently, to download files from a Windows 2003 server running Terminal Services, I need to log on and run a utility to download files from my home directory to my client host. I was wondering if some utility was available that could automate the process: 1. Connect to the TS server 2. Zip files from my home directory, possibly using a .BAT file 3. Upload this zip file to an FTP server 4. Download the zip file from the FTP server Thank you.

Office 2007 on TS - which version?
by Guest Ole- 6 replies
- 272 views
Hello Everybody, I have read the licensing issues on this board and I think, not all of our customers will be amused... Nevertheless, we will continue to set up our lab environment consisting of Fileserver and TS. We have installed Server 2008. I have tried to install Office 2007 Enterprise on this server, but the system tells me that this version of Office is no good for use in TS environment. Which version should I use? (I have a bunch of opportunities in Technet Keys, but don't know which is best). Thank you Ole

Profile Issues
by Guest teenzbutler- 13 replies

I am fairly new to profiles and have been reading a lot of information to educate myself. We run two terminal servers (Citrix Farm) on Windows Server 2003. UPHClean is installed. I've been seeing the following error: Event ID 1525: Windows has detected that Offline Caching is enabled on the Roaming Profile share - to avoid potential profile corruption, Offline Caching must be disabled on shares where roaming user profiles are stored. Our profiles are stored on our Fileserver. Everytime a user logs on, it also creates a local profile, which tends to take up a lot of disk space. In addition to the error 1525, I received the following: Windows w…

Sessions getting disconnected
by Guest RandyH- 8 replies
- 356 views
Users are complaining that they are getting kicked off our TS, a message pops up, I think it's the RDP client, but it says, The connection has been lost - Attempting to Reconnect Session. The session reconnects, and the user is back where at the screen where they lost connection. What is causing lost connections? Should we be tweaking something on the TS? Like this, HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp\KeepAliveTimeout? Tia, RandyH

Terminal Server Login Times
by Guest John R- 3 replies
- 226 views
Hello all. Hopefully, someone here can answer my question. I am having issues with extreamly long log in times on terminal servers (2003). I am being told that sometimes (not always) it takes almost 10 minutes to get to a desktop. Our customers access a cluster of terminal servers. For example, one particular customer has 22 terminal servers in a cluster that only they access. I enabled the USERENV logging. I have verified that subnets are defined in Active Directory Sites, and that local domain controllers are being accessed. I can explain some of the delays such as when a new profile needs to be created, etc. However, there are certain places…

One more serial port redirection question
by Guest Brad- 5 replies
- 278 views
This question actually comes from a post from Vera Noest: The local (or a domain) policy should contain this settings tree: "Computer Configuration - Administrative Templates - Windows Components - Terminal Services - Client/Server data redirection" I checked our local policy and under Terminal Services - Client/Server data redirection, the only thing listed is Allow Audio Redirection. For serial redirection, should there be something else? And if so, what and how do I add it? Thanks,

Terminal Server and Microsoft Access
by Guest Lisa Moody- 3 replies

I have a client who is running : The server is running MS Windows Server 2003 R2, Standard Edition, SP2 The MS Terminal Services licensing is Version 5.2 R2 We have a software app that uses SQL Anywhere for the backend and Microsoft Access for the front end. We use UserDSN ODBC connections on this and on our other terminal services installations and have not had any issues. With this client, the data retrieval is behaving oddly, with sporadic data returns. For example, there is a list of billing amounts and when they first pull the screen, the whole list will show and then later when they go to that screen, only some of the data will pull in and then…

TS farm i/f
by Guest Mike K- 1 reply
- 199 views
Hi all, I'm in the process of building Windows 2008 TS Farm. All services will be based off site at a data centre and I am planning to use branch office VPN's to securely connect in the sites... although I am also looking at access in other ways. I need to make the decision on whether to purchase Standard or Enterprise versions for the Terminal Servers. Looking at the MS docs it's telling me that there is a limit of 250 Terminal Services Gateway? What does this mean? Also, has anyone used the Session Broker under standard? I have implemented 2003 session directory but that was using Enterprise. The whole infrastructure will be around 400 device…

Is there anyway to free up TS License CALs beside releasing the licenses and re-installing the LS? A vendor set up our test environment and set everything up "Active" instead of using the trial period.

Hi. I am running SBS2003 Premium as my domain controller. I have an application server running Server 2003. This server is just running QB Enterprise and holds the Excel files that 5 remote stores log into and modify every day. The Excel files reside on the server. THe users log in using "Connect to Small Business Server". They then just open their folder that is located on their desktop. This folder is just a shortcut to their folder on the server. They usually can just double click on the file ( daily sales, etc.) that they need to update. Lately the need to open Excel and then browse to the file to open it. If you try to use the shortcut, Excel op…

Clients Disconnect
by Guest Mike- 3 replies
- 247 views
My clients using RDP seem to disconnect after 30 minutes of no activity. As best as I can tell, I have disabled all of the policies dealing with activity, however, they still disconnect. I have checked the Windows Component Policies on the A/D server as well as the Terminal Server itself. and all seem to say Disabled. What other settings could be causing this? I don't seem to have the problem when I'm connected to the server. As a test, I have left the session up all day without touching it and it stayed connected, I just had to use CTRL-ALT-DEL to get back to the session. Any ideas would be appreciated.

According to documentation it says it works with 5.2 or later however when I try to create a new connection, the drop down box for connection type is grayed out and only 6.1 is an option. Any ideas how I can change that? Thanks, Richard

I have a w2k3 sp1 with Terminal Server service installed. The same machine also are the only DC that domain (yes I know it's not the very best solution but it's a small process site) and it's also Terminal service license server. We remotely connect to that server from another domain. Now som of the users get "The client could not establish a connection to the remote computer" The most likely cause of this error are 1. Remote connection are not enabled ... but they are 2. The maximum number of connections are exceeded at the remote computer ... there are at least 3 more available license, if it's that it mean ? 3. A network error ... it works for others …

Terminal Services with Citrix or no?
by Guest Edward- 0 replies
- 362 views
Hi All, We have built a small TS farm of 5 servers running AdvServer 2003, with 50 CALS a peice, and a hardware load balancer in front to spread out the RDP sessions among the 5 servers. The server are 'serving' one application and IE to a max of 200 users, usually about 100 on. From three different geographic locations, we see horrible RDC disconnects (the blue box). I've read through Vera Noest's site and some of the links regarding Citrix vs. just Terminal services, and I believe that since we are serving only one application to so few users (comparitively) TS should be able to handle it? Since everyone connects across Lan-to-Lan VPN's vi…

Generate report on RDP connection status on multiple Win2003 servers

Hi, I'm asking all our DBAs to login to a central terminal servcie box running Windows 2003. From this server, they can RDP to our database servers(windows 2003) to do their work. There's a firewall here only allow RDP session from the central terminal server to reach our database servers. The database server only has "remote desktop for administration" turned on, so only two rdp sessions and I have to grant them local admin rights on each box they can logon to. This is fine with our need. Here's my question. Is it possible to generate a RDP connection status report regarding database server RDP session when DBA first login to the central te…
