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…

doesn't work: "Start the following program at logon"
by Guest SubnetJO- 0 replies
- 282 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…

W2K8 printing
by Guest anthonyx26- 1 reply
- 327 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…

Desktop (read-only)
by Guest Chris- 1 reply
- 332 views
Community, I have a terminal server, each uses the Default User to create their standard profile locally. Once the user is created, I move custom icons to their desktop as they are needed. A TS shared profile will not work in this scenario, since desktop's may be different. I want to make the Desktop read-only, so they cannot use the context-menu to create new documents or save any material to their desktop. Forcing all saving to done to the network share. Termianl Server is a member server, using GP Loopback with replace to keep their settings unique for desktop/TS. I have tried to implement a login script at the GPO level for this group tha…

We have a win 2003 server which is accessed by multiple clients (around 10) by RDP. The machine has 4GB memory. When we start a SAS sort, the performance monitor shows a lot of page faults, but the machine has still 2GB memory available. Why does a process experience page faults when there is plenty of memory free? Martin

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

Home directiories and folder redirection
by Guest Phil- 6 replies
- 429 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…

Send Message - Admin Rights
by Guest JohnB- 4 replies
- 408 views
Our users work exclusively through RDP. For some reason a handful of users were given local admin rights, so that they could send each other messages using Task Manager. I found this article: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc786099.aspx Which says "You must have Message permission in order to send messages". And I looked at what rights Remote Desktop Users has, and it includes the Send Message right. But... our users that don't have local admin rights still can't send a message using this method. Can anyone else use this Send Message option, without having local admin rights? TIA

Massive Problems with Terminal Services
by Guest Alex O'Hara- 2 replies
- 321 views
I've been trying to get my computer back up and running several times now. I'm running a Dell XPS2010 and I've had many, many problems. I've recently reverted back to XP after many many months of crappy drivers for Vista causing all kinds of headaches. I try to install the new Windows search program only to have it tell me I need to enable terminal services. I go to services....and it's not there. Nor, as far as I can tell, is it anywhere on my computer. I reinstalled from a regular Media Center edition disk (with valid key) and many things are missing, including Media Center. However, I'd really like to figure out to install terminal services since …

Client login on TS triggers msiexec.exe problem
by Guest Kjell- 6 replies
- 497 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…

RDP from LAN but not from external addresses
by Guest Roger Vicker- 8 replies
- 482 views
We had set up a W2K8 server (the only server in the organization) with User CALs and everything was working fine inside and outside. Just as we were rolling it out to the remote and roaming users it stopped working. Users on the local, to the server, network can still fully use RDP. Outside users get to the server's full screen logon but no matter what user/password they use they get a "The user name or password is invalid." error. Same user/password works via the local network. The event log was showing a 1004 id but a hot fix stopped that as MS indicated it was a false event that led to useless investigation. This started right in the middle of …

I have recently just deployed my first 2008 terminal server. (Windows Server 2008 STD.) I noticed today that, when logged in as a user, I do not have tabs in Internet Explorer. I also noticed that the "New Tab" functions in the pull down menus is greyed out. I checkd the settings for tabbed browsing and it is enabled. I have also noticed that the administrator does not have this problem. Any ideas?

Termianl Server Implementation Question

Good Day Community, I'm going to outline a scenario I have, and just want get some feedback on what would be the best method to implement it. Scenario Server: Windows 2003 SBS Standard (DC) Server: Windows 2003 Standard R2 - Terminal Server Goal: I need to implement the terminal server for our remote sales staff. We recently did a big push on our accounting software - which requires the workstations to have amounts of RAM and atleast 2.0ghz. Most of remote sales agents have laptops that do not qualify for the upgrade. Instead of replacing 5 laptops, we purchased the hardware to make a terminal server (Dual Quad Core, 4gigs RAM etc). This will allo…

Exporting/Saving GPO for TS moving to new domain
by Guest melickas@yahoo.com- 4 replies
- 371 views
We have a Windows 2003 R2 Server that is a Terminal Server in a SBS2000 domain. We are replacing the SBS2000 Server with a SBS2003 Server. In the SBS2000 domain/AD, we created an OU for the TS and created a GPO to lock it down for the TS Clients. We are going to move this TS into the SBS2003 domain (which has a different server & domain name from SBS2000) but we want to keep the GP we created for the TS. How can we do that? Thanks

RDP not working after Sept. patching
by Guest SG_Dan- 4 replies
- 360 views
I have a series of windows 2003 SP2 servers in a small domain, 3 are real hardware, and 3 on MS virtual server. During and after applying the latest patches to all of these servers, I'm noticing that in all cases I can no longer access my hardware based servers using RDP, or even Remote desktops. The error I receive on RDP is simply that "This computer can't connect to the remote computer." My primary workstation is Vista, but I get the same error running from a fully patched XP workstation as well, both are joined to the same domain. Has anyone else seen this behavior and hopefully found a resolution?

Add regkey to TS users HKCU
by Guest Al Williams- 15 replies

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…
