Security Exception required to run the TSPDRW

[Guest SteveM]

I am running Server 2003 as a Terminal Server.

 

In order to resolve some printing issues I am trying to run the Terminal

Server Printer Driver Redirection Wizard (TSPDRW).

 

After launching the tspdrw.exe I get a dialogue box saying 'The application

attempted to perform an operation not allowed by the security policy. The

operation required the SecurityException.'

 

I would like to know how to grant the application the required permission or

alternatively how to use the Microsoft .NET security policy administration

tool. (Both of these being suggested as ways forward by the dialogue box).

 

Full details of the error thrown up by the dialogue box are copied below.

 

Thanks in advance for any help or pointers.

To enable just in time (JIT) debugging, the config file for this

The application must also be compiled with debugging

enabled.

 

For example:

 

<configuration>

<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />

</configuration>

 

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception

will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the machine

rather than being handled by this dialog.

Are you running the tool in a console session, and as

Administrator?

Re: Security Exception required to run the TSPDRW

 

Seems like you have modified the default user rights in the

security policy. You could modify the security policy again, but

I'd simply forget about the wizard (assuming that you had a valid

reason to configure your security policy as it is).

All the wizard does is to search for Events 1111, 1105 and 1106 and

create a custom ntprintsubs.inf file.

I'd rather do that manually, gives you more control.

 

239088 - Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003 Terminal Services

server logs events 1111, 1105, and 1106

Re: Security Exception required to run the TSPDRW

 

It seems that I have a choice of investing time to either master the creation

of the inf files or to master the vagaries of the security policy.

 

I would prefer to get on top of the security policy issue as I don't

understand what aspect of this is causing a problem and this learning will be

more helpful to me in the long run.

 

The error message alludes to a SecurityException being required. Where/how

can I get one?

Re: Security Exception required to run the TSPDRW

 

Im sorry, but I have no idea.

You'll probably receive more help in another newsgroup.

 

Or why not use google? A search for

"The operation required the SecurityException"

 

gives lots of hits with possible solutions, which all seems to boil

down to modifying the .NET Framework security settings. Many give

detailed instructions on how to do that.

Re: Security Exception required to run the TSPDRW

 

The issue was that I had stored the tspdrw.exe file on a mapped drive. The

security settings for this were those under 'local intranet' rather than 'my

computer', even though the actual storage location was the hard drive of the

local machine.

 

The security settings are changed as follows

Use the Microsft.NET security policy administration tool as follows:

control panel | administrative tools | Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Wizards

| Adjust .NET Security | Make changes to this computer | Next | My Computer |

click Default Level | Next | Finish

 

The wizard now works fine. Thanks for your help
