Connection defaults to Either 256colors or 32M colors

[Guest Kieron Sykes]

We have an issue with connections to a TS running Windows 2003 SP2. If we

have the Wyse Client set to 16bit, the connection information within TS

connection manager always shows as 32M colors for the colour depth. If the

client is dropped to 8bit the colour depth drops to 256colours.

 

If we connect to a Windows 2003 Server which is identically configured but

only running Service Pack1, the colour depth when connecting at 16bit shows

as 64k colours. We are having problems with bandwidth at the moment and the

only issue we can see is the colour depth difference. The bandwidth issues

only appeared when we upgraded to SP2. Has anyone got any ideas or know of

any hotfixes to resolve this issue ? The ultimate aim is to get back to 64k

colours which in theory whould reduce overall bandwidth consumed.

Have you tried to limit the color depth from the TS group policy to 16-bit?

Instructions are here:

Thx. Alice
