Server 2003 R2 Terinal server issues

[Guest spader]

Hi

 

I'm having some problems with Terminal services in windows 2003 standard R2

and Citrix.

Problem 1

The user policy is not applying to the created Citrtix users group and only

applies when they are added to the domain admins group. when logging in to

the server the TSprofiles and TShome GPO settings appear to work fine but the

folder redirection is not working. I have done heaps of looking around the Ms

site and also on google and everything I have tried does not seem to work.

the main error I see if unable to open HKCU registry with error 5 (Failed to

open HKEY_CURRENT_USER, error = 5), even though Domain users has full access

to this key and all subkeys, which seems to be the fix for this.

Problem 2

When the domain admin TS's into the servers with Citrix on them they cannot

log in at all. It starts the default program (IE) but if you close IE it will

kill the TS session.

 

From what i am thinking it seems to be a Group policy application problem

but i cannot think of where to look or what to do to figure out the problem.

I have done a RSOP which confirms the Folder redirection policy isnt working,

I've enabled logging for the userenv debugging, and the above error came from

there but I can fond anything to assist with fixing the redirection issue

 

If anyone has any idea where I could go next i would appreciate it greatly.

 

Thanks

Re: Server 2003 R2 Terinal server issues

 

Which folder are you trying to redirect, and where's the target

folder located? Have you checked NTFS permissions on the redirected

folder?

 

 

About IE starting automatically: where did you configure IE to be

the "default program"? On the TS, in a GPO, or on the client?

 

If you define a program as the Starting application, then it does

just what IE does now on your server: starts automatically when you

connect to the TS, and logs the session off when you close the

application.

And if you define a program as the Starting application in Terminal

Services Configuration, then it's a server-wide setting, meaning

that it applies to your Administrators as well.

But if you define the Starting application through a GPO, you can

use a User setting instead of a Computer setting, and then use

security filtering to exclude Administrators from applying the

policy.
