KeepAlive does what the description says, it puts a heartbeat on

the connection to detect if the connection is still alive. Without

this mechanism, a session may not transition to a disconnected

state and may remain active even though the client is physically

disconnected from the Terminal Server. And that would mean that you

cannot reconnect to the session, because the server thinks that it

is still an active session.

If your session disconnects because of a network problem, and the

server detects this in time because of the KeepAlive meachanism,

the session will exist on the server for the time specified in the

setting "Set time limit for disconnected sessions (2 hours)". When

you connect to the server again, you will be reconnected to the

disconnected session.

Yes, by all means!

Note that this will still create a local copy of the roaming

profile in C:\Documents and Settings. But you can use this GPO

settings to get rid of them again:

 

Computer Configuration - Administrative Templates - System - User

profiles

"Delete cached copies of roaming profiles"

 

so your server will never store more cached profiles than the

number of concurrent users connecting to it.

I've never used delprof, but as I understand it, it does more or

less the same as the GPO setting mentioned above.

 

Using a roaming profile can (but doesn't have to) cause slightly

longer logon times, because the centrally stored profile on the

file server has to be copied to the locally cached profile on the

terminal Server. You can and should therefore minimize the size of

the profile by using Folder redirection settings in the GPO. At the

minimum, redirect the My Documents folder to the users home

directory.

The TS home directory is the folder in which the \windows subfolder

is created. In this \windows subfolder, user-specific settings are

stored (like ini files), which would reside in %systemroot% on a

workstation.

Don't do this!

That would mean that there's only a single password between your

domain, mailserver, and TS and the rest of the world.

Even if you enforce strong passwords on all of your users, I would

*not* recommend it.

 

Running TS on a DC is not recommended either, for both security and

performance reasons, but is sometimes the only way in a very small

business.

Hello. Meinolf. Thank you for your prompt response. Since typing my

original request I installed the Terminal Server Licensing on the

Windows 2003 domain controller and

the windows 2000 terminal server can see that windows 2003 server and

the terminal server licensing on it. I was able to connect into my

terminal server via my vpn gateway where before installing the

licensing server I was unable to do this. My fear is my current Windows

2000 Terminal server cals will not install on the windows 2003 terminal

server licensing without purchasing upgraded licenses. The windows 2003

terminal server licensing is currently running in the "not activated"

state. I assume I have 60 days before I have to active this?

 

Thank you.

The 120 day grace period of 2003 is *not* applicable in this

situation!

A grace period (which is the period in which a newly installed

Terminal Server can function without the need to contact a TS

Licensing Server) is a feature of a *terminal Server*, not of a TS

Licensing Server.

The W2K Terminal Server has long past used up its grace period.

Changing to a new TS LS on a 2003 server will *not* gibe the W2K TS

a second grace period.

 

Doug, your initial problem occurred when you demoted the W2K DC to

a member server, because a W2K TS LS must run on a Domain

Controller. If you look in the EventLog of the W2K TS, you will

find:

Event ID 29

"Terminal Services Licensing can only be run on Domain Controllers

or Server in a Workgroup." and

Event ID 7024

"The Terminal Services Licensing service terminated with service-

specific error 29."

 

Your decision to install the TS Licensing Service on the 2003

server was the right decision. Now you have to activate it as well.

 

About your licenses: you do *not* have to upgrade your W2K TS CALs!

As long as your Terminal Server runs W2K, W2K TS CALs are all you

need (+ 2003 server CALs, but you should already have those, since

you have a 2003 DC).

 

If all of your clients run W2K Pro, XP Pro or Vista Business, then

they are issued the free "Existing Windows 2000 Per Device TS

CALs", which are also present on a 2003 TS Licensing Server.

Only if you have down-level clients (XP Home Edition, thin clients,

unix, Macintosh), then you need purchased W2K TS CALs.

 

You are correct that you cannot install them on the 2003 TS

Licensing Server, because you only can install a License Pack once.

But you can simply call the Microsoft Clearinghouse and they will

re-issue your License Pack for installation on the new 2003 TS LS.

Make sure that you have the paperwork ready when you call them.

Hi Vera

 

1. The Licensing Server is running on the DC

2. Yes, it is running.

3. I did found some errors in the event log :

 

Event Type: Warning

Event Source: TermServLicensing

Event Category: None

Event ID: 22

Date: 19-09-2007

Time: 09:25:57

User: N/A

Computer: BIWEB

Description:

The Terminal Services Licensing server BIWEB has no license pack registered

for product 'Windows 2000 Terminal Services Client Access License'. Use

Terminal Services Licensing administrative tool to register the licenses pack.

 

 

Event Type: Warning

Event Source: TermService

Event Category: None

Event ID: 1013

Date: 15-02-2007

Time: 11:39:28

User: N/A

Computer: BIWEB

Description:

The terminal server has exceeded the maximum number of allowed connections.

 

4. About "loosing" the Terminal Servers, I am convinced that the "Terminal

Service Licensing Manager" once could see the Terminal Servers, but I am not

sure.

 

5. Yes - At the Terminal Service Licensing Manager I can see the licenses

tha are issued.

 

Existing Win 2000 license - Buil-in - Unlimited - 45 Issued

Temp license for existing win 2000 license - Temp - 2 Issued

Temp license Win 2000 term service Client Access - Temp - 6 Issued

 

6. I Implementet the q239107 only at one of my terminal servers, just to

see if it worked, but it did´nt.

 

Do I have to try to deactivate / reactivate the Terminal Licensing Server ??

 

Best Regards

 

Anders

OK, that explains your issue.

You simply have to purchase and install TS CALs for your down-level

clients.

Seems you need 6 of them, one for each client who has been issued a

"Temporary license Win 2000 term service Client Access"

OK - maybe it is a stupid question, but I believe that my Win XP and Intermec

terminals had a license for free at Terminal Service 2000, it is the main

reason why I choose the TS2000. I am aware of that I have to pay for all

licenses to a Terminal Server 2003, but also TS 2000 ??

Only W2K Pro, XP Pro and Vista Business clients receive a free TS

CAL from the built-in pool of licenses on the Licensing Server (the

licenses that are called "Existing Win 2000 license - Built-in -

Unlimited").

 

All downlevel clients (thin clients, linux, Macintosh, XP Home,

etc) need a purchased TS CAL.

So it's probably your Intermec clients that need a purchased TS

CAL. You can verify that when you check which clients have received

an temporary W2K Per Device CAL.

Hi again

 

It is`nt easy !!

 

The Activation Status of the TS license server is ACTIVATED.

The Temp lic for W2K TS CAL are identified, and are not the Intermec Clients.

When I`m trying to add more Licenses, I got this info :

 

The license server`s activation has expired. To use this license server, you

must reactivate it. Do you want to reactivate the server now?

 

I have`nt reactivated the server yet, because I`m not sure what is going to

happen with my existing and OK clients. As I have mentiont, I have newer

installed any CAL at my licensing server. I have been told that my Intermec

terminals have a CAL for free, and it seems to be correct, it have worked for

about 2½ year, until now.

 

It seems that I have to reactivate the license server, but what will happen

with my existing Clients ??

 

Best Regards

 

Anders

Not shadowing (at least I don't think so). I mean when a user calls me for

help and I want to remotely control their desktop. I'd like them to get a

prompt when I try to establish the remote session so they don't freak out,

like some users do.

Do you mean Remote Assistance? So that you and the user see and can

interact with the same screen at the same time? That can be

configured so that the user must initiate it (invite you to give

Remote Assistance, and allow you to connect).

 

Or do you mean that you rdp into the client? Thereby effectively

logging out and shutting out the users? I wouldn't do that when

they call you, meaning they are present in front of their

workstation. Remote Assistance is ideal for this. You can teach the

user while you fix the problem, and they can see what you do.

LOL!

But I actually thought that the OP was possibly referring to Remote

Assistance, i.e. interacting with the users *XP* desktop session,

not just the users *TS* desktop session.

Our helpdesk uses Remote Assistance all the time, since we run a

mixture of local applications and TS applications.

That's what is so nice about it--you can have your XP machines

listed in your tsadmin favorites just like your servers. When you

need to offer assistance you can right-click on the user's name

and choose Remote Control. Another nice thing is you can see

the list of processes the user has running.

 

If the user clicks yes you are connected to their XP desktop just

like PC Anywhere, VNC, etc.

You're kidding :-) I've never done that, will try it out!

Our helpdesk always uses Help and Support from the Start menu to

offer Remote Assistance, but this sounds easier!

Yes, you are talking about shadowing aka Remote Control.

 

Jeff's comment is correct--you can set the prompt option. I

have never used it for XP connections so I am not certain it

will work for them. By default it prompts the user so if you

have not set it already there is no need.

 

Note that with XP Pro SP2 you need to add the following

registry entry to each machine to do what you want:

 

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server

 

AllowRemoteRPC REG_DWORD 0x00000001

What is your OS and Service Pack level? Which TS client (5.0, 5.1 or 6.0)

are you using? Do you have any application installed that can effect mouse

pointer? For example, KVM over IP switches, etc. Are you using Virtual

Server/Client? Are you running the TS session in full screen or smaller

mode?

 

I have remember seeing this issue being reported before. The only update for

mouse pointer in TS that I can think of is

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/830209 for the 5.1 or later client. Give it

a try.

The Server OS is W2K3 with service pack 2, TS clients are 5.0 and later,

I don't have any software that could affcet the mouse pointer I think.

 

I don't use either Virtual Server or Client and the symptoms are

equivalent if I run the client in full screen or not.

 

I already tried the update you recommended but this doesn't work well

and did not cover my problem.

 

I searched during the past days in the registry about a value that can

affect the pointer display, but found nothing.

 

Thank you for your answer.

The reason I want to disable RDP encryption is because we are doing some RDP

Hi Guy,

 

If you set PinConnectionBar to 0 in each user's registry *and*

use disableconnectionbar:i:0 the bar will show initially but will

fade away after the first click. It will not return even if the user

bumps the mouse to the top of the screen.

 

It is not a perfect solution. If the user clicks the pushpin it will

stick for the entire session as well as change the registry back

to PinConnectionBar = 1.

This can be due to various reasons. First check would be to see TS service

and listener is up and running fine on the server. Though you might have

already done it, following are things to check:

- please run "qwinsta.exe" and see listener is running.

- run "netstat -a" and see if TCP port 3389 is being listened at.

 

Next would be to see if connection request is getting to the server or not.

You can take some "netmon" traces on the server and see if you find any

packets reaching port 3389. If connections are not getting to port 3389, one

of the common issue is DNS name resolution. Try using the ipaddress instead

and see if you can connect.

 

If nothing works, look for error entries in the event log.

There is no need to. The license will eventually expire and

return to the available pool. In the meantime the server will

issue the new replacement device a temporary CAL that will

be valid long enough for the old one to expire.

I'm having the same issue, My options are grayed out under Remote Control,

but thats because I have Use remote control with default user settings

selected (which is what I want and it doesn't matter, I've tried to change

this option). Anyway, I have another TS server that I am replacing with this

one, I have all the settings identical, policies identical etc, using the

same licensing server. The old server works just fine, but this server for

some reason will not work. If I try to remote control from the old server to

the new I get the same message.

 

The only notable differences are the new server is R2 with SP2 and the old

server is just SP1, but both have all other updates installed. This thread

is the only information I can find anywhere relating to this error. I really

don't want to completely redo the server yet again, any help would be

appreciated.

Hi,

 

Is this registry path correct as well for each user:

 

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders

 

Favorites REG_SZ

 

Log on as an administrator, run Process Monitor, and then have

a normal user attempt to add a favorite. Look for any ACCESS

DENIED or other errors.

 

Process Monitor

Thanks for the reply

 

I ran Process Monitor but there are no such errors when the user attempts to

add to Favorites. They also cannot Organise Favorites.

 

Regarding

 

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders

 

Favorites REG_SZ

 

That path is C:\Docouments and Setttings \ Administrator \ Favorites

Are you saying that when you log on as each individual

user (not administrator) and check their HKCU you

see C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Favorites

as the path?

 

That is not correct, each user normally should point to

their own unique location.

Sorry - when i log on as the users there is no entry for that !

 

That is clearly the problem

 

If I manually add it - doesn't make any difference. When the user logs off

and on - the entry is still blank

 

I need to find a way of getting the correct path in their for all users !

Home Premium - no RDP. Period.

 

Business - enable in Remote Tab, System Properties. AND make sure to check

the box that allows unsecured, downlevel connections.

Well, the exact tab which I used was

 

COMPUTER properties --> REMOTE SETTING --> REMOTE tab and checked the

following :

1. allow remote assitant connect to this computer

2. in the ADVANCE button allow this computer to be controlled remotely

 

Update on after posting the first message.

From NETWORK --> click on the network name (which is a wireless

connection) --> Properties --> SHARE tab, checked the following

1. Allow other network user to connect throught this computer's internet

connection.

2. This already checked and grey out before the 1 was checked. Allow other

netwrok user to control or disable the selected internet connection.

 

When the later was checked and rpd in from xp machine or sbs 2003 or windows

2003 server, the following error 'The remote connection has time out' other

then this error keep coming up, nothing else happened - just cannot connect.

 

Any thought ?

In the first case your mixing Remote Assistance with Remote Desktop. As

noted by other Vista Home Premium or Basic can *NOT* act as a Remote Desktop

host. You might look at using UltraVNC as an alternative.

 

As far as Vista Business is concerned if your trying to connect from XP or

earlier make sure you have the Vista host configured like this...

 

http://theillustratednetwork.mvps.org/ScreenShots/XP/RDP6-XPClienttoVistaServerConfig.jpg

 

...and the XP or earlier client configured like this...

 

http://theillustratednetwork.mvps.org/ScreenShots/XP/RDP6-XPClientSettings.jpg

 

It sounds like your trying to connect through a VPN? Is that true? Can you

ping the Vista host when you connected to the VPN? Perhaps you should

describe the network the Vista Business host computer is on, ie. in a

domain, behind a firewall, etc...etc...

A couple of groups you might want to try:

 

microsoft.public.windows.vista.networking_sharing

microsoft.public.windows.vista.general

 

I assume you aren't using Small Business Server. 3389 isn't necessary to

open on the Firewall if you enable Remote Desktop. The exception is being

added by default and you should be able to see it under 'Exceptions'. As far

as Vista Home Premium goes, if I'm not mistaken, it doesn't support inbound

RDP connections. For the Vista Business you should be able to connect to

it. Take a look at he following article and see if it helps

Scanner redirection is not natively supported. For this you

can use a third-party application, for example:

 

http://www.remote-scan.com/feature-list-connecting-scanner-to-network.php

 

Audio support is one-way (Output). This means that an audio

input device (such as a recorder) from the workstation is not

natively supported. Again a third-party app would be required.

 

USB memory sticks are supported via local drive redirection.

 

Make your local disk drives available in a session

 

http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver/en/library/91e5965b-386a-4da1-ac1d-7b8128c28c271033.mspx?mfr=true

 

Local printer redirection is supported if the drivers are TS

compatible or you can map to compatible printer driver. I

recommend you install the version of the Remote Desktop

Client located on your 2003 server's hard drive here:

 

C:\WINDOWS\system32\clients\tsclient\win32\msrdpcli.msi

 

Terminal Services and Printing

 

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/techinfo/overview/tsprint.mspx

 

Make your local printer available in a session

 

http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver/en/library/91e5965b-386a-4da1-ac1d-7b8128c28c271033.mspx?mfr=true

 

Serial port redirection is supported. You should test with your

specific application and device to see if they are compatible.

 

Make your local serial port available in a session

 

http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver/en/library/17d44d9a-cf4b-4a6a-94ec-093cb5f8b2b71033.mspx?mfr=true

http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver/en/library/17d44d9a-cf4b-4a6a-94ec-093cb5f8b2b71033.mspx?mfr=true

 

Support for local device redirection has been enhanced in

Windows Server 2008, see here:

No, TS doesn't recognize CD-ROM drives. The remapped drives are

recognized as network drives. This will not work.

You could potentially do this the question is do you want too. The

enormous amount of bandwidth that would be used and the enormous amount

of resources used on the server to play the CD's would have a huge

detrimental effect on your users sessions.

There's not much that you can do about it.

Audio quality in rdp is not configurable, and it's not very good.

It's OK for system sounds and beeps, but don't use it for streaming

video.

Audio quality in Citrix is configurable in 3 levels, with different

bandwidth usage, and the quality is much better.

I agree with Meinolf, using the same profile is most likely going

to cause problems.

 

You can still give users a central place to save their files by

redirecting their My Documents folder in both profiles to the same

home directory on a network share.

This is easiest done with a GPO:

 

User Configuration - Windows Settings - Folder Redirection

My Documents

Hello murras68,

 

I have no experience with Appsense. But is seems to be an additional tool

with a lot more functionalities as only managing profiles.

There are so many variables that go into the amount of users on a

system. No two systems are the same or are configured the same. You

can take two systems, same hardware, same software, and get two

different amount of users on them simply because they use the software

differently.

If I remember correctly, MS has done away with a classic console

connection. All sessions are now treated the same. Are you not able to

do something while connected? I may be wrong on this though I know it

was discussed but not sure it was truly implemented.

Thanks for your reply Jeff.

 

I haven't done extensive testing to see if there are things that cannot be

done, so I'll need to keep an eye out. The biggest issue so far is that the

terminal server is configured to "run the following program when the user

logs on", but this program is meant to be run when end-users log on and not

when administrators log on.

 

This wasn't an issue with Windows 2003 because administrators would log onto

the console. Since this program presents an application control panel that,

among other things, hides the underlying windows desktop it makes remote

management of the server a little difficult.

Then you have been relying on Administrators always connecting to

the console session to avoid the application.

 

Instead, configure a GPO with this starting application, and filter

the security for the GPO to exclude Administrators from it's

effects.

That's correct, no /console connections in 2008 anymore.

Session 0 still exists, but it hosts only services and is not an

interactive session anymore.

Does it happen only inside a TS session or on the local console as well? If

it is inside a TS session only, are you using any redirected printers

(printers that are on the client). Do you see any errors in the event log?

 

You might also want to try the Oracle forum (http://forums.oracle.com/).

It happens local or via a TS session. I've also tried printing the reports

local to a client. They work perfect with a 32 bit pc. When I try and print

them on xp 64 bit, same exact issue. I've been searching around the web. It

appears this is a problem everyone is seeing on x64 with Oracle Reports 6i.

 

The issue occurs between the splwow64 thunking spooler and the rwrbe60

process. The rwrbe60 process uses print drivers (of you default printer) to

generate the report. The splwow64 thunker spooler translates 64bit printer

drivers to 32bit application. For what ever reason, this system does not

work correctly. It just goes off into la la land.

 

With the tons of people out there still running forms and reports 6i, I

would think MS and/or Oracle would put out a fix for this. I don't see any

as of yet.

 

Any additional help is greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Paul
