I have been looking all around on the internet to find a solution to this problem I’m writing you about. ISSUE: - This is an example: When a user is using Word and then their internet line cuts out for some reason. They logon to the system again. Open word to recover their document. But no recovery information is shown. I think this must be because the recovery info is not saved to the roaming profile. This means that whenever a user have a connection loss or something that happens so that the user is thrown of our system. They cannot get the auto recover info. This is quite annoying. Is there a way to solve this. So that office auto rec…

New Twist (and problem) with TS...
by Guest NewMan- 9 replies

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…

Current setup: Domain X that serves the main office for our small company. Domain Y which is a client's server we are setting up for them. While the client's server is at our site, we would like to allow them to remote into it, and use liscences from the liscencing server we have in domain X. Both servers are 2003. I would be ok setting up a trust between the domains only if I could lock them down. Looking for Suggestions :)

Event IDs 1500 and 1508
by Guest Allan- 14 replies
- 490 views
W2K3 Standard Terminal Server with 4Gb Ram. Recently upgraded the accounting system. There are approximately 50 users. After the upgrade, aproximately the first 30 people can log in and the rest can not. Event ID 1500 and Event 1508 multiple times. "Windows cannot log you on because your profile cannot be loaded..." I suspect that the 4Gb of RAM is not sufficient for 50 users. Does this sound right, or is something corrupted or hardware failure? If the problem is insufficent RAM, no hardware failure, or system corruption, can I upgrade the existing server to W2K3 Enterprise and add more RAM? If so, can I put the W2K3 Enterprise CD in and "Load on Top" …

License Issued 0

Hi, I’ve installed Terminal Server Licensing on two Domain Controller’s. The servers are activated and TS User CAL’s are installed. (MPLS agreement) When I start the Terminal Server Licensing Tool on the Terminal Server it discover the two DC’s. Only the column Issued is 0 I didn’t expect that because yours are logged on. I’ve checked: - license mode on the TS and it is Per User - no errors in the TS event viewer when users log on - no errors in de DC event viewer when users log on - I’m using auto discovery mode (and it works, because the TS automatically shows me the two DC’s) I found this article: http://blogs.msdn.com/ts/archive/2008/02/01/li…

I have problem in controlling which devices are allowed to be enabled and disabled by users on Remote Desktop Tab of TS Web Access. I have set "true" to XClipboard and xDriverRedirection, and "false" to other redirection options in Application Settings of ts website. But the ts web page does not honor such changes (Printers option is still enabled and Drives option is disabled). Any one knows the fix? Thanks.

I have a windows server 2003 terminal server so i told my group policy to use fallback pcl driver and then deleted printer drivers from terminal server. and indeed it fallsback to deskjet 500, but when clients print some reports they dont come out right. so i manually changed driver to 4/4m ps and it prints out fine. so i said okay, and told my group policy to fallback to ps driver, all printers are hp and support ps, gpupdated ts server, rebooted. and this morning they all use 500 pcl driver again. so how do i make them use ps instead of pcl fallback driver.

Aero - cannot get it run
by Guest Thorsten Butz- 6 replies
- 488 views
Has anyone ever tried to get Aero run from a TS-client? I do not speak about "theory" - I mean: did you see it yourself? From my point of view it should be possible to view Aero-style-seamless-windows (or remoteapps) if you fullfill the following requirements: - Desktop Experience + Themes-service + Vista-Style at the Terminal Server - Allow 32-bit color depth in the TS-Settings at the server - Have aero enabled at the client and choose "Desktop composition" and "Font smooting". I tried it several times and never succeeded. I have an aero-capaple (and of course enabled) WS 2008-Client, I see Vista-style-windows but no transparency. Did you get it r…

Restrict WAN access
by Guest Rodrigo_live- 6 replies

Hi. In my company there’s a Windows 2003 Terminal Server that users access to work every day. W e need to restrict access to LAN only TS for some users and LAN & WAN access to others. I’ve managed to get TS Console to identify the two NICs in the server (LAN and WAN) by duplicating the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp Key in the registry (renaming each one of them after). This way I can distinct the LAN and WAN connection and set access port (LAN uses default 3389 and WAN uses another port) and color depth etc etc. On the WAN adapter I’ve set only the group who should get access outside the net…

Hi everyone, We are looking for a way to have the server get the client PC name from the terminal session (the PC connecting thorough Remote Desktop). Can anyone help me with a WMI Filter for this? We have set up a policy so that when the user starts a new terminal session 1 of 2 things happen. They see the full desktop or they see an application that automatically loads up. This is dependant on the computer the user is calling in with from Remote Desktop. Thanks

Disable sound in RDP not working
by Guest Chris- 4 replies
- 485 views
OK I have a TS 2008 server setup. GPEDIT I disable sound in TS. In terminal services config I disable redirection of sound. On the clients I disable redirection of sound. The server doesn't even have a sound card in it. What I get is the old PC speaker BEEP whenever a user clicks on confirmations like when they are printing. I even disabled PC speaker in the server and the remote workstation, it still beeps. Anyone have any ideas? Second question is printing from the server. IF they select extra copies of a print job they get multiples. Like if they was 2 copies, they get 4. Or if they want 3 copies they get 6. Any printer, any software. Seems like the T…

Hi! I've installed 10 TS User CAL Tokens in our customer's Windows 2003 Server. The server is using Temporary Licenses yet, and these licenses will espire on 20th of January. The 10 TS User CAL Tokens are installed but not issued, so they're ready to be used. However, they're not issued and I don't know if it will work fine on 20th of January. I want to check if they will work before the expiration date of temporary licenses. The TS Licenses looks like this: SERVER |--- Temp W2003 per device CALS - temp- "-" - 19 issued |--- Exisiting W2000 TS token CALs (per device) - built in - unlimited - 0 issued |--- W2003 - TS per User CAL Token - open - 1…

Disabling a GPO logon Script
by Guest Alex Anderson- 8 replies
- 484 views
Hello Everyone, We have a GPO logon script that users get when they log into their computer or TS. Our goal is disable the logon script when users log into the TS server. I found the KB article (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/924034/en-us) that explains the process however the script still runs when a user logs in. I'm not sure if it's because the script is tagged to a GPO or if the KB article is meant for entirely something else? I did get help from the VB script people on how to exclude certain computers from running however I thought it would be much easier to just disable the logon script feature on the TS server. Any help would be much appr…

IE security on 2008 TS

Hi, I have 2x 2008 Enterprise TS member servers running. All domain users have problems browsing the web. ActiveX controls cannot be installed (flash, java etc) because they need admin priviliges. Ok I can live with that, but even browsing the web is hard. When they go to a flash based site, they get a yellow message bar at the top "Your security setting do not allow websites to use ActiveX controls installed on your computer. This page may not display correctly. Click here for options". When they click it, they only have a "more information" button, no "enable this content for this site" or something like that. I can't explain to all them that they ha…

Bootable thin client

- 483 views
I am new to learning and getting involved with Terminal Services. I'm trying to learn this on my own. I have a few older PCs that in order to run Windows, they need a lot of upgrading which takes money and I do not want to have to deal with the basic windows maintenance, licenseing, etc. I would like to know if anyone knows of a bootable, probably linux based and free, OS that will turn an older PC into a thin client? thanks, ~alan
