I recently added a terminal server to our office. Previously we used a SBS 2003 server and login time from password to desktop was less than 1 minute. The new server is Server 2003 64-bit, dual quad core 3.0, 4 Gb RAM with all current patches. The same user logins now take 30-45 seconds from password to desktop. Once login is complete, performance is fine. If however I log onto the new server as an administrator, the login is <1 second. What security issue or other issue would cause user logons to be slow? Thanks, Barry

Shared User Folders and printer setup
by Guest Jim K. - SGB- 8 replies

I hope the following makes sense. I have a 2003 standard server setup running as a Terminal Server to allow our other location (several miles away) to access our main SBS 2003 server and run our Mfg/accntg software. We have a program called 'Check Factory' that allows the printinf of forms and checks to blank stock. In order to get this software to work Trans-Micro (the makers of Check Factory) have a detailed procedure that allows multiple Terminal Server users to run the software at the same time. Here is the setup procedure that should allow the software to print to the correct client printer (which I have followed): 01: Install the Check Fa…

Group Policy TS User Home setting
by Guest Ragnar- 8 replies
- 435 views
Hi Is there a way using only Group Policy settings to configure multiple home directory shares when using the Computer Configuration setting "TS User Home"? The home directory is a top-level share with subfolder for each home directory. E.g. \\server\user share\%username%. I know it's possible to use variables for the "TS User Home" Group Policy setting and then use it together with Terminal Services Home Folder per user account, however I don't want to use any per-user account settings. Can't really see that this have changed with Windows Server 2008 either.. Thanks. /Ragnar

2008 Questions
by Guest Rob- 8 replies
- 365 views
I have a couple of questions: 1. I would like to set up an auto login link for terminal services. I have an app that I want to run but have the server locked down so that only the app can be run. I know I can set it up in TS Configuration but it prevents me from logging in under my own credentials for admin purposes. Is there another way I can set it up? I've also tried saving the credentials in the link but it doesn't stick. I would love to use RemoteApp but it just isn't feasible at this time. 2. When logging in with the restricted user, the various 2008 splash screens come up. Is there a way to eliminate them?

I have setup a new server 2000 advanced server as a terminal server. I have enabled the terminal server component and added the TS licensing server name in this new server's registry. As a test, I opened remote desktop connection and tried to connecting to itself and i get this error: "Because of a security error, the client could not connect to the remote computer..." I get the same error on any other machine trying to connect to this new terminal server. I have two other terminal servers that have been working fine for the longest time. I just wanted to add this third one but running into this error. Any ideas? Thanks. Asif Shah

by Guest HellslayeR- 8 replies

Hello. I'm having a problem with Windows 2008 TS and Thin Clients. When my thin clients are using rdp to connect to the 2008 TS it works ace and I get the screen where you are asked for username/password. Right after I've typed that in and hit enter the user will log off. I then have to repeate the prosess 2-3 times and then suddenly it logs on to the TS just fine. I can also be "lucky" and it will log on the TS on the first attempt. I have 3 Windows 2008 TS and they all behave like this. EventID only logs that there has been a log on and a log off from my test user, it says nothing about failed attempts. Does anyone have a idea? Will provide mor…

Hi, I'm just about to install my first Terminal Server to run SAP and have the following questions: 1. My disk is 120GB - what is the optimal partitioning scheme. It's a Dell box and is currently partitioned C= 12GB and D= 105GB. Is this Ok? 2. The OS is Server 2003.

If a users saves from an application to the c driver, is this the actual server C drive or is it redirected somewhere. If the server C Drive how does this impact on partitoning scheme above. 4.

Starting Terminal Services Sessions from the server
by Guest decksta- 8 replies
- 413 views
Is it possible to start terminal services sessions from the local server via startup scripts? I would like to have say 8 users on a server and when that server boots, a script starts a terminal services session for each user. Those user sessions would then have their own set of startup scripts to run applications (in this case for UI testing). Is this possible? Thanks in advance.

No servers visible in TS Licensing
by Guest Paul- 8 replies
- 385 views
I have a Windows 2003 Terminal Server, Standard Edition SP2, it is in a Workgroup, the only member, there is no Domain or AD. This is a replacement server, virtualised in XEN on SLES 10 SP1, on new hardware. Much faster than the old physical machine. TS Manager and TS Licensing are on the same server. Terminal Services is functional and has been for months. I thought now is a good time to install the licenses. Opening up Terminal Services Licensing I see no servers at all. Terminal Services Manager appears to be happy. Where should I be looking? Thanks, Paul.

Limit _Minimum_ Color Depth
by Guest Morten Frederiksen- 8 replies
- 406 views
Is it possible to limit the minimum color depth allowed for terminal service sessions on a Windows 2003 server? (An application running on the server will crash if users connect with anything less than 24 bit color depth.) I know that it is possible to limit the maximum color depth by using group policies, but this is unfortunately the opposite of what is required. Regards, Morten

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
