Port redirection before logon
by Guest Tony Vabony- 1 reply
- 180 views
I'm developing custom GINA dll replacement, which communicates with proprietary authentication device connected to serial port. Everything's straight with local logons, but support of Terminal Services is required as well. Hence the question: Is port redirection possible only after user is logged on? Or it occurs right after initial connection to TS? TIA

Slow RDP Logon - CopyProfileDirectoryEx ?
by Guest Jeff Clegg- 1 reply
- 186 views
Hi there. I'm troubleshooting some problems we're seeing with slow logons to TS Servers over the WAN. I've enabled userenv logging and am focusing in on a delay during the logon regarding CopyProfileDirectoryEx. Snippet from userenv.log : USERENV(17c.a04) 08:05:20:466 FindTotalDiskSpaceNeeded: Largest 7 file size is 31323818 USERENV(17c.a04) 08:05:20:466 Available 693395968 USERENV(17c.a04) 08:05:20:466 Needed 128652920 USERENV(17c.a04) 08:05:20:466 Src size 85633382 USERENV(17c.a04) 08:05:20:466 Dest size 0 USERENV(17c.a04) 08:05:20:466 Largest hive file 2097152 USERENV(17c.a04) 08:05:20:528 CopyProfileDirectoryEx: Found hive file NTUSER.DAT…

RDP sound always muted
by Guest Antonio- 1 reply

Hi ! I have 4 Windows 2003 SP 2 terminal servers and on 2 of them the rdp sound is always muted (even if I unmute it, as soon as I click on apply it goes back to being muted). I checked everything (mstsc settings, group policy setting, rdp settings on the server) and all seems ok for the sound to be redirected. What else could I check ? Thanks, Antonio Saraca

I want a select group of users to be able to access an Terminal Server session with the ability to stop/start services and scheduled tasks but not make them server administrators. The server environment is Windows 2003 SP1. I have tried using Power Users but this does not provide access to the services or scheduled tasks.

Many printers appear when connected via TS
by Guest Thomas Kroljic- 2 replies
- 214 views
All, When my users connect to the Terminal Server, if they go into Printer and Faxes, they will see a large number of printer listed. Their printer is the default printer. And so far I really don't have any problems with redirecting print jobs back to the client PC. What I'd like to do if possible is eliminate the showing of so many printers when connected to the TS. Is this possible? Are will my users see everyone's printer if they are connected? Thank you, Thomas Kroljic

TS NLB Port Rules
by Guest rmth- 2 replies
- 204 views
The recommendation for NLB port rules for TS is to delete the default and set the port range from 3389 to 3389 and specify TCP as the protocol. It states that this will only load balance connections made by RDP. Does the NLB port setting rules effect other port and protocol connections, such as external automated backup solutions? -- rmth

Add to Remote Desktop History count
by Guest Venger- 2 replies
- 210 views
Hello - Just a question someone may have the answer to. Is it possible to increase the connection history stored by the RDP client? I find with my usage that 10 is far too few, and I was hoping there was a DWORD entry that could be added to the registry to increase the MRU count. Of course, this is pretty esoteric, so not alot of info around on it, I've looked. Any insider info? Typing mail.clientslongassdomain.com takes just a few seconds, but if I can save that every time, maybe over my lifetime I will have saved enough of my time to cure childhood cancer or something. So please, think of the children... Venger

Can I force a remote session to logoff?
by Guest Mack Jones- 6 replies
- 316 views
We frequently have users from oversees logging into workstations here in the U.S. using RDP. Sometimes these sessions lock up and the user needs to be force off so they can be reconnected normally. Is there a way for me from a command prompt using admin rights to connect to the workstation and force it to logoff the user. Or is there any other way. I know that I can force the machine to shutdown and reboot but I don't want to do that if it's a workstation that has multiple users connecting to it. Rebooting would kick them all off. I just want to kick off the one. Any advice would be appreciated.

Release of old licenses in TS
by Guest Enfield- 3 replies
- 245 views
It looks like that there are several devices which show as expired with the old date and a new license has been re-issued to the same device, but the old one has not been refreshed or released for others to use. I checked couple of settings on License Manager to release it but was unsuccessful as there is no option to either right click on that device and say release or disconnect. Any ideas guys! Thanks in advance!

Server 2008 Terminal Services Logon options Help!
by Guest Larry- 2 replies
- 228 views
I have a web that directs users to a Windows Server 2008 Terminal Server. This web app supplies the login name. In Server 2003 there is no problem. But, now with Server 2008 when the Terminal Server Login dialog comes up I get a button for the user the web page has provided, a button for Other User and a Cancel button. How do I change this logon to display the Server 2003 type of dialog with user name, password and Ok and Cancel?

I am running a Terminal Services environment with a single server running Windows Server 2003 R2 When a user logs off from their terminal services session I see the same three warnings in the system tab of the event viewer for each printer they had in their terminal services session – a sample follows with the user’s name xxx’d out Event code 8 - Printer Samsung ML-2510 Series (from xxx) in session 1 was purged.

Install but not use TS License Server?
by Guest Hank Arnold (MVP)- 4 replies
- 255 views
I'm in the process of planning for a new Citrix PS 4.5 farm. New hardware and OS. Current farm is W2K TS. License server is one of the W2K DCs (domain is all W2K until next year). I want to set up the new license server on a W2003 R2 server I have running. However, I only have 50 TSCALs. Ultimately, there will be up to 100-125 workstations logging into the new farm. Can I set up the new license server without impacting the current setup? I can't have the workstations checking into the new server until I get the additional TSCALs.... -- Regards, Hank Arnold Microsoft MVP Windows Server - Directory Services

Roaming Profiles not unloading
by Guest Steve Snyder- 3 replies
- 218 views
W2K3 R2, IE6SP2 - article 840378 describes the issue perfectly, except for the file dates & versions are newer than those listed for the hotfix. Basically, using roaming mandatory profiles with GPO to set the proxy settings and homepage URL - user logs off and three folders remian behind contaiing an index.dat file. Every time the user logs on a new profile folder is created - username.domainname.XXX. thanks.
