2008 Terminal Server

[Guest SimonBbk]

Hi,

When I create a new RDP Terminal Server connection using the Terminal

Service Connection Wizard, the drop down box for Connection Type is greyed

out, and only Microsoft RDP 6.1 is available.

I have some Linux thin-clients that support RDP 5 - how can I configure

TS2008 to work with these??

Have you tried the connection?

I think they should be able to connect, but without a lot of the new

features.

Hi, yes have already tried.

The thin-client Status changes briefly to Connected, but then drops back to

Not Connected.

Have tried :

Set "Computer Configuration->Administrative templates->Windows

Components->Terminal Services->Security->Require use of specific security

layer for remote (RDP) connection" to "RDP".

&

on Computer Properties Remote tab have selected "allow connections from

computers running any version of Remote Desktop",

but creating a new session is still forced to RDP 6.1 !

Any ideas anyone? I could do with being able to use these Linux thin-clients,

otherwise I'll need to stick with W2k3 or replace them with RDP6.1 compatible

devices :(

I know there's an RDP 6 compatible RDP client for Linux, I've

used one in Ubuntu Linux. Maybe it was "rdesktop", I can't remember.

Anyway, you should upgrade your Linux client.

Hi HP support have said a new firmware version for their thin-clients is

'imminent', which will support RDP 6.

I'm really disappointed that I can't use TS2008 for RDP 5.1 sessions using

rdesktop at the moment (when the drop-down box is there, just always greyed

out)!

 

If someone knows how I can un-grey this connection properties box that would

be great...
