I have a Windows 2003 Server that we use for development. The built in 2 user limit is becoming a problem, our developers are stepping on each other. I would like to increase to 4 users to be comfortable. The developers are usually in and out of there in a matter of minutes to configure something in IIS, copy a file, create a directory, etc. No heavy-duty apps are being run. Problem is when I go to Add/Remove Programs > Windows Components and select Terminal Server and Terminal Server License Manager, I am prompted with a warning that includes: "Program Installation: If you continue with this installation, programs that are already installed on…

Hi ... please help. I have a terminal server that students log into for Microsoft applications. The problem that I am running into is that all 25 of them log in at the same time, and when they do, several of them freeze and the TS stops responding. I have to end the task and have them log in again. Does anyone have any suggestions on this?

Hello, I am in the process of setting up a new Terminal Services server. Currently we use 2003 Server with TS installed on a backup server. I have the new server in and was wondering if it would be better to just install Windows 2008 and use the new Terminal services? Currently, 2003 TS has been working well but are limited to printing to a local usb printer. We have one user that was successful in printing to his USB 1022 HP printer. This printer is no longer manufactured so it seems I am running to a dead end on getting local printers to work. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

Terminal Services w/ printers

I log onto a terminal server with a Roaming Profile. There 3 computers people log onto to access this one program. There is a policy set so the user can't do basically anything but run the program and go into the printer settings. My question is when i'm in the terminal server and delete this printer, once I log off and then log back into the terminal server the printer is back. The printer that i'm deleting is no longer on the network nor installed on the computer it was locally hooked up to. I deleted the registry key which holds the printer setting and it comes back, once I log off and log back on. Basically any change that I make with in the terminal s…

User CALs installed as Device CALs?!?!
by Guest Gareth Hughes- 9 replies

Help! I have recently taken over support of a client with the following scenario: 1 x SBS2003 box running PDC, Exchange & SQL 1 x Server 2003 Std box running Terminal Services to 6 users The customer has an open licence for all the software including 6 USER TS CALs On replacing a Thin Client, I am informed that I cannot connect to RDP as there are no licences available. Odd I thought... Looking at TS Licencing, it is set to "Per Device" and has 2 sets of licenses installed: 4 x TS Device CALS, 5 x TS Device CALs, all of which are allocated to a mixture of new and old hardware. My questions are: 1, How can I change the system to Per User and…

Prevent Window Popup
by Guest Webbert- 9 replies
- 499 views
I just got involved in a production issue and believe that there is a popup window that is preventing the system from running until someone presses "OK". The only indication that I have at this point is a screen shot of an event log that shows Source: Application Popup Category: None Type: Information Event ID: 26 User: N/A No other information is available. I thought that there was a way with Dr. Watson to prevent any and all popups from displaying on a server that expects no UI. Can anyone point me in the right direction to prevent the popups from occuring? Thanks, Dave

Management of disconnected sessions
by Guest Toine- 9 replies
- 439 views
Hello, I have a problem with the management of disconnected sessions on my Server 2003 SP2. When a TSE session is opened from a network station and I close it with the cross or with Start/Disconnect session, the session is still available on the server and I can get connected back to it. On the other hand, if a network failure or a station reboot occurs, the session is killed after about 1 minute. How to keep theses disconnected sessions available for reconnection? In the Terminal Services Configuration, the protocol is configured as follows: - End of a disconnected session: Never - Active session limit: Never - Inactive session limit: 1 day -…

Terminal Services Setup/Flaw

I'm a new hire to a company and I've never used TS before. I was given my domain admin priviledges and went to work last week. I was probing and testing the network for any flaws and I found a big one I'd like to fix. I am able to .rdp into the terminal server and from there I'm able to use .rdp into any other server in the network. The problem lies not with my login but with a normal user's login, I'm able to do this. What can I do to prevent normal user's from logging into any machine they want? Server '03 SP2 Best Regards, Matt

how to Restrict multiple sessions for a single user
by Guest Muhammad Essa- 9 replies

Hi; Since i have installed SP3 for win XP while using RDP for servers with single user each time multiple sessions are opened for a single user, not only from one PC if the RDP (RDP console in administration tool pack sp2) is used at another workstation and the same server is accessed with the same user, another session is provided by the server which was not the case in SP2. If any user from any workstation used to get connected to server the session of another user on another workstation with same server user used to get disconnected. Please help me to solve this issue. Note; I have used the terminal configuration policy (GPO) and set the restriction …

Hi, I have a 32bit 2008 Enterprise TS running and I'm having issues with Easy print. The clients are XP SP3 with .NET 3.5, or Vista SP1 with .NET 3.5. When a user logs on, he sees the redirected printers without me having to install any driver. Great... Now when someone prints something, the text comes out garbled. (pictures are ok) I uploaded a few examples I scanned to my personal webpage @ http://users.telenet.be/obsession2001/easyprint.zip (348kb) * Mail1.jpg = Printout Outlook 2007. Headers appear fine.

Local Profiles on Terminal Server
by Guest Sarah Kingswell- 9 replies
- 607 views
For obvious reasons I would like to change the location of the local user profiles on my Terminal Server. I have several user's connecting to the Terminal server from thin client terminals and I want to move the user profile to a different drive which has more space. I have tried to setup terminal server profiles against the user account but I cannot get this working. I am not be understanding exactly what this does but am I wrong in thinking that I can do away with the profiles in the default c\documents and settings\user.. folders. Any guidance appreciated. -- Solent Carpentry Services Ltd 3 Capel Ley Purbrook Hants PO7 5PU Tel: 02392 782875 Mo…

New Twist (and problem) with TS...
by Guest NewMan- 9 replies
- 493 views
We have receontly installed a Win 2008 Server. I added the Hyoer-V role, and installed a virtual instance of a Win2000 Server. I have no problem accessing the WIn2000 server via Remote Desktop / Terminal Services. Here is the twist.... Non-Admin users cannot log on locally. No problem, there is an option for that Right???? WRONG! You cannot access the "Allow logon through Terminal Services" element of Group Policy when you are accessing the group policy via a Terminal Services Session! ACK! With a virtualized machine, the ONLY kind of connection is a Terminal Services Session! I tried accessing via the Hypervisor console, but all it does is con…

When I right click and apply a new IPSec policy in group policy the policy is assigned. Then "to make sure that clients respond to the TS requests for security" I right click the Client (Respon Only) and assign it. But this changes the IPSec policy to NO for "Policy Assigned" it seems like I cannot have them both assigned. Can someone please explain this to me. I am following KB 816521 Thanks.

I logged in remotely and remotely performed the upgrade to SP2. After I rebooted server, the upgrade works fine but I can no longer use remote desktop connection to connect to my Windows 2003 Server. I cannot even use remote administration to this server when I'm on another computer on the same network. Any ideas of what may have caused this problem and a possible fix?

User licensing
by Guest Markus- 9 replies
- 393 views
I am planning to install Server 2003 and need some advice on licensing. My client needs a maximum of 10 concurrent users using an application. However, they have hundreds of employees, any one of which could be one of the 10 concurrent users. On the server side, I understand Server 2003 comes with 5 CALs, so I assume I will need 5 additional CALs. But am not sure what other licenses I need. I read about roaming users, and would assume I need per user licensing for 10 roaming users, since the 10 users on any one day could log in from different departments and so different devices. Could someone clarify just what licensing I would need for this conf…

with so many printing issues developing due to printers that Users have created on their local PCs, we've decided to disable the Local Resource Printers and manually create "shared" printers on the Terminal Server so that we can manage them and ensure that only approved printers are used. How can I do that?

help: ts gateway keeps rejecting user credential

- 1.2k views
I am setting up a terminal service gateway in Windows 2008 domain in our lab. I followed the step-by-step tutorial. I had this problem: the ts gateway keeps rejecting user credential (The logon attempt failed). I enter the credential in this format: domain_name\username, and password. Occasionally the ts gateway works, usually after the server is restart . With unknown reason, it does not work sometime later. Any idea on the cause and diagnostic steps? Thanks a lot.

Cannot logon to TS
by Guest Dale Miller- 9 replies
- 474 views
I have a Windows 2003 Server running Terminal Services. I want to add another user to be able to log onto the Terminal Server. Whenever she tries, she gets "To logon to this remote computer, you must be granted the Allow Logon Through Terminal Services right." error message. I go into GPEdit.msc, and find the "Allow Logon Through Terminal Services" property, and see the one user who currently has this right ... but the "Add" button is greyed out. I also go into Active Directory, and into the new user's properties. The "deny logon through terminal services" check box is NOT checked. Why can I not change the Group Policy? Any suggestions? Thanks. D…

Good morning! Okay, Okay......I know that several of you in here will kill me for this! Vera, Patrick, Jeff,.....sorry...but I did not do this!!!! I am simply trying to fix some things and want to make sure that I do not break things in the process.... Anyway, a client has a small Terminal Server farm (two servers). A Terminal Server Profile was not implemented. Yikes! I know! Anyway, most are using a Thin Client but some still use a PC / Laptop to access the Terminal Server. Some of the of these good people are Sales Folks who are almost never in the office and log on to their laptops locally (read: the "log on to:" part is populated with "myma…
