Hi, I'm using TS on a 2003 Server and I've got a user logging on and what not. I've installed a program with the Admin account and I can install and run it just fine but when I try to run the program under the other user account I'm getting a permission error. I can't seem to find where I change the permissions for a TS user so I can run the program. Thanks Craig

by Guest Brad Pears- 3 replies

We have a win2K3 windows terminal server where we allow our dealers to connect to run various applications. Most of them have had no difficulties printing since I made mods to the server to configure a "Fallback Printer" driver when the proper driver is not available on the term server. (driver for the printer they actually have installed locally) However, today one of them called me complaining they were unable to print. They have an all-in-one printer with a USB connection. The printer is an HP Deskjet F2100 series printer. WHen this user logs on, I am wathcing teh event viewer and I am seeing that it does set up the PCL Fallback Printer driver - and this is …

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…

Users can only login to one TS server

Hi, We have 3 terminal servers running windows 2003 SP2 R2. One is working correctly. When the same user tries to access another server they get this error: "you must be granted the Allow logon through terminal services right. Members of the remote desktop users have this right." I don't know if it makes a difference but the one working server ix x64 and the other 2 aren't. I tried changing the group policy to allow logon through terminal services but this didn't help. Any other suggestions? Thanks

Print job still spooling
by Guest crackie- 7 replies

Hi, I have one unit of HP Laserjet P1006 setup and connected to my PC USB port. Printing from my PC to the printer is all alright without any issue. Somehow, whenever I login to our application server via RDP (Win XP Pro - remote desktop) and to attempt any printing, the print job will be pending at the spooler for an indefinite amount of time. Eventually it will just stuck there and does not print at all. I had checked on both the server properties and printer properties in the remote desktop environment, the TS has correctly mapped and assigned the port to the printer. I wonder what is wrong here and what causes the print job is still spooling in T…

Setting up first TS Server - Have I Done it right?
by Guest Chavvy- 7 replies
- 505 views
Guys, I have set up my first 2003 Terminal Server for a friend using TS user cals. This is a single server/domain and I had a few issues with remote sessions being able to connect. This turned out to be default security settings for the DC which I have now resolved. When I purchased the CALS I was told that these had to be installed against named AD users. After setting up the licence service and installing the cals throught internet/Microsoft, I can see no way of doing this. The licence server shows the 5 cals installed though and the installation was pretty smooth. What is worrying me is that the licences in use count does not go down as connections …

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.

Screen goes black
by Guest Bob- 10 replies
- 503 views
Hi, I notice that Remote Desktop sessions will blacken their screens after a period of inactivity. Why is this and how can it be controlled? I believe my Power Schemes are set to never turn off the monitors and the screen saver is set to none. Also, when it does happen, how can I wake up the RDP session in a non-destructive way? The only thing that works for me is to click the screen. Shift-key or CTRL+ALT+END doesn't help. Thanks! --- Bob

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.

What's the latest word on virtualizing Windows 2003 Terminal Server? The last thing I heard ...it wasn't a good idea....no net gain from doing it and you limit yourself to around 20 users before it starts to suffer performance issues. True?

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

RDP Connections - Freeze or Reconnect
by Guest Sarah Kingswell- 13 replies
- 499 views
I am having a really frustrating issue with RDP connecting to a Windows 2003 SP2 Server. For several years the Terminal Server has been working well but just recently remote users have been complaining that the RDP session frequently lock up or reconnects with a big red x in the top right hand corner of the screen. It is happening so frequently that accessing the terminal server remotely is becoming unusable. I have seen this before and it happens very occassionally. LAN users access the terminal server with RDP without issue. This makes me believe it has something to do with the Router or ADSL Line. I have upgraded the router firmware to the lates…

- 496 views
Hi I'm having this wierd problem with my TS Win2003 Std Ed Some but not all clients triggers 1, 2 or 3 processes of msiexec.exe when login in with remote desktop (mstsc.exe). This might be a completely normally behaivour, but the pattern I have makes it a problem, and I've never seen this before. 1. The msiexec.exe locks up 50-70% of the resources,making it into a severe lagging situation for all. 2. It never stops, the same host machine (client) will trigger the same set of msiexec.exe running for identical period of time every *** time it's login in, it doesn't matter if I'm login in using a domain account or a local account, it's the client mac…

Restoring Terminal Server licenses
by Guest JK in Nebraska- 1 reply
- 493 views
My SBS 2003 server crashed the other day. When I restored system state, several key applications would not run. In order to get the system back up and running, I ended up with a new installation then restored AD and Exchange. One of my remaining problems is that this server also acted as a terminal services license server. Unfortunately, all of the terminal server license ducumentation was misplaced during a recent move and I have yet to locate them. Is there a way to recover the terminal server licenses from backup without restoring the system state?
