TS Web Access and Local Drives
by Guest Dennis B- 1 reply
- 305 views
I just set up TS Gateway and TS Web Access in Win2008. When I use RDC to access a PC and enable showing local disk drives, I can see both local and remote drives. When I log in to TS Web Access and click the Remote Desktop in the Bar (not the icon in the remote apps box), the disk and plug and play device icons under the options settings (where you specify the computer you want to connect to) are grayed out. When I connect to the same PC using the same login using Web Access as I do with RDC my client local drives are not mapped. All the group policies I can find that relate to it are set to Not Configured for showing local drives. How can I get the disk d…

Windows 2008 TS locking problem
by Guest Erik Kristoffersen- 2 replies
- 307 views
At the local school I have got the following problem with a brand new installation af Windows 2008 TS: Suddenly every session is halted when accessing the file server. When the problem arises, client sessions may be able to continue working, however when they access the file server, they will be halted. Problem can be cured by restarting the file server (which by the way is fully functional). Setup: HP ML350 G5p, 4 GB RAM, 2 x 146 GB HD is running Windows 2008 x64 (terminal server) HP DL320 G5, 4 GB RAM, 4 x 250 GB HD is running Windows 2008 x64 (domain controller, file server, TS license server etc.) Home folders stored on the file server, redir…

Add regkey to TS users HKCU
by Guest Al Williams- 15 replies
- 997 views
Windows Server 2003 SP2 TS. I need to add a simple registry key to all my TS users HKCU hive. I googled and found an old post from Vera and tried adding "regedit newreg.reg" command to my login scripts but the users get a permission error - "Cannot import newreg.reg: Error accessing the registry." . It seems they aren't allowed to add new keys to their HKCU hive (it doesn't work manually either unless they are admins). Short of giving them all admin permissions until it's done is there another way? I know this must be simple but I can't find a solution that works. I'd rather not get into GPO's or VBscript if I can help it... Thanks -- Alla…

How can I script (in VBScript, C#.NET, or PowerShell) the following. I'm looking for the total sessions created (since the last reboot). Thus far, I have only been able to get this number by running QWINSTA /COUNTER and checking the "Total Sessions Created" value. NOTE: this number is not equal to the total number of active and inactive sessions

Setting up first TS Server - Have I Done it right?
by Guest Chavvy- 7 replies
- 486 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 …

I have a someone that bought a new x64 vista PC they have an Brother Intellifax 2820 printer. I have downloaded the WHQL certified driver for this and installed it on our Windows 2003 TS.

Remote Access to Windows 2008 ?
by Guest Patrick- 5 replies

We just install our first Windows 2008 Server. We find that when we use RDP to access it, it works as remote access (we haven't used /admin option). From the web, we learn that Windows 2008 supports 2 active session if TS is not installed. If it is true, we wonder why RDP session is a Console Session. Your advice is sought.

After doing some Windows updates (Auguest 08 updates), I have an issue with users no longer having their printer available in the TS. The event viewer showed the Kernel Mode Printer blocking policy is enabled error.. I have disabled the following policy - Disallow installation of printers using kernel-mode drivers. Now I no longer get the error message, but the printer is still not present. Checking the event log now simply showes the printer is marked for deletion - Printer xxx in on yyy in session 2 was deleted. That is the only mention of the printer. All was working fine before the latest updates were installed. Terminal Server 2003 R2 SP2, with Office…

Please help. It is a user profile error.

It embarrasses it very much because it doesn't understand. Please help someone. It is an application error of the event viewer of "Windows server 2003". The environment is used as DB server of Oracle. The error of "Userenv" fires it in rapid succession. A big problem wants to make it not generated though it might not be. However, it was suddenly generated though the environment had not been changed. Is it a foundation solution that use UPHClean for TECHNET of Microsoft though is? I want to examine grounds of the cause of the error. I want to know because of which application to have liberated the registry. The error doesn't occur why while it logs i…

Hi: Everything was working perfectly, but not now. I am recieving an error message for all current users (the client window interface) of: To log on to this remote computer, you must have Terminal Server User Access on this computer. By default, members of the Remote Desktop Users group have these permissions. etc. My people were loging in fine, then the project got put on the back burner for 3 weeks with no one loging in or touching the machine and now no one can logon. I checked the settings and they look good. When I try and login, in the Terminal Services Manager window it shows a RDP-Tcp #xx but I can not loging with the above message o…

Question regarding CRM (v3 - I believe) on Terminal Server (WIN2003)
by Guest Cary W. Shultz- 2 replies
- 315 views
Good morning! I have posted this question to both the CRM and to the Terminal Server newgroups. Have a client who runs Windows 2003 Enterprise Terminal Server and has the CRM Client installed. Something like 45 users use this config. Someone (not me!!!!!!!) made the Domain Users group a member of the local Administrators group on the TS box. So, yes, anyone can technically shut down this TS box! Not good. I found this out yesterday while dealing with a printer issue. Anyway, I can not make any changes to this as - it is suspected - the reason for doing this (Domain Users - local Administrators group) was to be able to manage the CRM client (r…

Termnal Services and convergence
by Guest Jeff Syring- 0 replies
- 256 views
A colleage of minee added a monitoring program that when one of my terminal servers out of a farm of 8 using Windows NLB reaches 40 connections the monitor will drainstop the server until the active sesion level falls below 40 again. this causes the entire farm to converge each time a server is drained. My concern with this is (With supporting evidence,please) Does this affect the performance of the servers or the stabilty of them.

printers in TS Sessions

Good morning! Okay - Vera N, Patrick R, Jeff P, Lan W - do not jump on me for this....this is not something that I set up...I am simply trying to clean up a mess! We have a client in a WIN2003 AD environment with one TS (running on WIN2003 SP2 Enterprise w/12GB RAM) and - for whatever reason - the security group "Domain Users" was added to the local Administrators group on the TS box. At the moment I can not remove this (I know! I know! I know!). Anyway - question is about printing. All of the users naturally see all of the printers. Question Number 1 - is there a limit as to how many printers can actually show up? I ask because for al…

Log Off, Disconnect, but no Shutdown
by Guest JBradshaw- 11 replies
- 583 views
A previous admin created a GPO setting that removed the shutdown option from the start menu of machines in various OUs. I am trying to do some testing on a machine using RDP, and for some reason, it, also, does not have a shut down option on the start menu. I need to be able to shutdown via RDP. I have scoured our GPO looking for where I can add this option. I have move the machine to its own OU and verified that User Configuration / Administrative Templates / Start Menu and Taskbar does NOT have the "Remove and Prevent Shut Down" option enabled. I have also used gpedit on the local machine to set this option to Disabled. I have rebooted the machin…

Hi, I've some quick questions. I've read alot about this, and couldnt find an exact answer. We running 2008 terminalservices in 2003 domain. I created a central store for my admx templates. I've copied english template from ts and swedish from a vista computer. Nothing crazy with that, right? Created one OU with my TS, and one gpo on that. Apply permissions is for me(for testing) and for the TS server. I use loopback policy. 2 questions. 1. When we us loopback with replace. How does it work?

My windows key combinations (alt-Tab; Winkey-R; etc) are not working in my remote desktop sessions to Win2003 servers. I have selectedthe option to Apply Windows Key Combinations within the client / Option / Local resources, but the setting never seems to take. The option is remembered between sessions or even reboots, and is saved in the default.rdp file, but it just never works. Any ideas?

Home directiories and folder redirection
by Guest Phil- 6 replies
- 411 views
hope someone can enlighten me here as i'm quite new to Terminal servers Is rootdrv2.cmd still valid in Citrix. If so do you still have to set it on every TS. I thought that TS home drive Group policy setting would now be the preferred opion. Leading on with the next question If users have their home drives mapped in ADUC say to H drive, is there a point in setting up TS home drive as the users would surely have 2 locations to keep their documents in??. My take is if they used pure TS then use the TS home drive If I mixture of 2 then Bothe ADUC home drives and TS Home drives but redirect theTS Home drive to the Users Home Directory Finally AppDa…

W2K8 printing
by Guest anthonyx26- 1 reply
- 311 views
This question obviously comes up a lot in this forum, having searched. And while I'm pretty experienced in TS using Win2003, I've always implemented Tricerat's Screwdrivers software. I've had to do this because of the umpteen million different printers out there, and their lack of a built-in native Win2003 driver...while costly, it sure as heck beats attempting to install all the various drivers for the end user's printers (with only scattered success). But I'm interested in whether Win2008 has improved in this area. I have an environment in which all users are now using Windows Vista based PCs. I heard something about how TS in Win2008 can now auto…

doesn't work: "Start the following program at logon"
by Guest SubnetJO- 0 replies
- 266 views
Hi all. I have a Windows2003 terminal server, joined to my domain. This machine works great for many RDP users. I recently added a new domain user configuring the option "Start the following program at logon". The user logs on the machine, but he gains access to the standard desktop, the program I configure doesn't start at logon. I tried the same configuration of some other users who work fine, I tried to start the "notepad.exe" or the "CMD.exe"... nothing. The user always experience a standard logon. The setting on the "enviroment" tab seems to be ignored. The user is "clean". No particular policies or other settings are applied. I don't think t…
