Printing Problems

$
0
0

Our server has developed a strange printing problem, i have researched and tried various suggestions however none work

The Server is Windows 2008 SP 2 - 64bit running terminal services

Printing from IE V9 (64bit) works fine

Printing from all Microsoft applications work fine

Trying to Print from IE V9 32bit - Printer dialogue window opens and versions printers are listed, including "Add Printer" option, also a Print error dialogue opens "Before you can print, you need to select a printer If you need to install a printer, either double-click the Add Printer icon or click the find Printer...button located on the general tab of this dialog"

Print and Apply are both greyed out, Add Printer, and find printer has no effect

Trying to Print from Adobe Reader appears to work but no print is produced, and no print shows in the print queue - Print seems to go into a black hole

Trying to Print from Firefox V50 - Unable to change printer properties, and printing produces the same error from the 2 dialogs "Printer Error and  Print Preview Error"

- Error shows - "An error occurred while printing"

The problem seems to exist for some users only

I have created a new user / profile and the problem still exists

The problem is also visible from the Administrators account

Any suggestions would be welcome

RemoteFX USB Serial Device redirection (Honeywell 1900 scanner)

Hi All

I've been trying to get a USB to Serial device working over RDP on a HyperV VM without using 3rd party tools (USB over Network).
RemoteFX seems the way forward but do I really need a dedicated GPU for RemoteFX if I only need the USB redirection?
I am ready to buy the ATI/NVIDIA  cards if required but I would prefer to save the money.

There must be a way of redirecting USB to Serial devices without new hardware.?!?!?

Kind regards

Windows Server 2008 R2 trouble with explorer.exe

Hi,

after the installation of the update KB3205402 when I log-in via RDP with my user on our server, explorer.exe does not start.
My Account have administrator pemission level.
The only element inside of my desktop is a window opened on "Computer".
Application bar is not shown, if i try to make right click on descktop the menu doesn't appear.
If I try with another user or brand new user, nothing change.
I've allready tried with the following command and hotfix:

  1. with the Powershell i've tryed to use Dism command but in win 2k8R2 DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth and DISM /online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup are not implemented command.
  2. I've checked HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Windows NT/CurrentVersion/Winlogon "shell" is correctly set on explorer.exe; I've also compared other parameters with an other server and are the same, obviously the other server is a 2k8R2 too. 
  3. I've installed Manually Hotfix for Windows (KB947821) and .Net Framework 4.5.2 but nothing change

I'm trying to execute manually update from Windows Update and I get allways an error.

Any suggestion to fix this annoyng problem?

Best regards,

Multipoint intro / FAQ

I'm at a public library with twenty publicly accessible PCs, for which we use secondhand terminals that have been donated by business. I suspect that the long term best route for us is to install thin or zero clients which load profiles from a server, but I don't really know where to start. We have a server running WS2008, not robust enough to handle it, but I'm wondering whether I could install a single remote profile as proof of concept.

In short, looking for whatever you think is the best resource for a relative novice.


RDS deployment misconfiguration

$

0

Hello all,

I deployed a 2012 R2 RDS server a few months ago, and it's just now getting its first users. However, I realize now looking at it that I made a mistake in the deployment process and I'm trying to recover it. Instead of doing the RDS deployment (quick start or standard) and installing all roles at once, I just selected the session host by itself in the standard add roles wizard. As such, I can't manage the deployment via server manager because it states there is no deployment present.

To try to correct this, I added the gateway, broker, and web access roles to have them all present for a deployment, but that doesn't appear to have rectified the issue. It's curious, though, because using Server Manager to try to manage the RDS deployment, it states that a deployment does not exist. If I go through the wizard to add a deployment, it states a deploymentdoes already exist, and even finds the broker automatically. 

So, here are my main questions:

  • As I have all roles installed, is there a way to make them understand all the pieces for a deployment are available for management? 
  • If I re-run the wizard and select the same server for deployment, will it redo the installations, or update them? 
  • If the installations are re-done, what happens to my existing applications that are already available on the host? 

I know this is a gray area, but if I can avoid re-doing the deployment entirely, that'd be ideal. 

Thanks.

Can not rdp to servername - rdp to ipv4 address works fine. Ping and nslookup are ok.

I am troubleshooting a problem where I can not rdp to 2 distinct Windows 2012 servers (B,C) from another Windows 2012 server (A). Both source and target Windows 2012 servers have ipv6 enabled (no active ipv6 inside the domain). I can ping and nslookup their respective ipv4 addresses fine. I can however no longer rdp to them by simply using their NetBIOS or fqdn. Rdp will challenge for the pwd but then hangs trying to secure the connection. I can rdp via ipv4 address fine. I can rdp to other servers from server A fine. I can reach both servers B & C via rdp from other servers without a problem.

Event Logs

I am troubleshooting connectivity issues between my 2016 hyper-v VDI solution and a few clients. I have been trying to examine logs on the connection broker, but I cannot seem to find anything useful. Is there a log that shows connections between RPD clients and the connection broker?

I tried checking the terminal services log in even viewer, but it is only recording RDP connections to the server itself. No connections to the virtual desktops are showing up, including successful connections.

Thank you in advance for your help

I am currently using RD gateway 2012 r2 to allow the connection.  Is there  a way to Publish the workstations using RD web Access? If so, is thee also a way to only display the workstation they are allowed to connect to on the web access page?

Thank you very much. 

RD Licensing Server is not able to issue any license

$

Hi,

I have set up a RDS per device licensing server.

1. In my RD Web Access Server > Remote Desktop Services > Overview, I can see the server with the RD Licensing role installed in the deployment server.

2. In the RD Licensing Server, I launch RD Licensing Manager > Review Configuration > I can see two green ticks "This license server is a member of the Terminal Server License Servers group in Active Directory Domain Services.." and "This license server is registered as a service connection point SCP) in Active Directory Domain Services.

3) In the session host server, I launch RD Licensing Diagnoser and I an see my RD Licensing Server and no errors. "RD Licensing Diagnoser did not identify any problems to report."

It seems that my RD License Server is setup probably but when I log in using a HP Thin Client, I do not see any license being issued. I tried again on another device (a Windows Notebook) with another username and again I can log in but the number of license issued is still zero.

I check the event logs (administrative events) of the RD Web Access Server, RD License Server and Session Host Server but I do not see any errors or warning.

Any advice is much appreciated.


No SSO when out of domain network

$

Hi, I have an RDS environment with GW+Broker, licensing, 2 SH. In deployment settings I configured "use rd gateway credentials for remote computers" and "bypass rd gateway server for local addresses". Now... I configure "remoteapp and desktop connection" on my client with my public name, I mark "remember password" and then I succesfully open remoteapps. Also if the remote session ends (logoff) I still can access remoteapps without entering password. This is when I am connected to domain network.

If I repeat the same configuration when I'm connected to another network, the problem is that I can't mark "remember" password, in this way every time the remote session ends I have to put the password (this happens also if I perform initial configuration connected to domain and then I open remoteapp on the go). Please notice that this happens only on domain-joined client (domain is the same of RDS environment domain), it never happens on non-joined client or with client joined to other domains.

Anyone have ideas?

Idle Time reset for all users at logon

$
0
0

When I run a 'query user' command to get the idle time for each user, I have noticed that it gets reset back to 0 when a new user logs in. This is a problem because our session timeouts never kick in, even if a user actually is idle. Every single time a user logs on it resets the counter for everyone.

Has anyone seen this behavior before or know how to prevent it? We have idle users who are never kicked off the server because the counter keeps getting reset.

Private vs Shared Program Direcroies

First of I know little of TS and am trying to advise a client who wants to deploy our app via TS. If anyone can point me in the right direction would greatly appreciate it.

Our App, which is self contained in it's own directory (no tmp files or ini's in home directories, etc...), has an auto updating capability per user and files within the program directory need to be writable per user, so the program directory can't be "shared" by each TS session (this is an assumption). 

My question is how to have each TS session have it's own copy of a program directory which also contains the app .exe?

Thanks,

Printers staying offline in terminal services Print Management

$

Hello,


I'm experiencing a problem on two terminal services with printers installed there via Print Management on a Windows Server 2008 R2.

Every day, at the end of the day, there are some printers that are turned off on the client site.

That next day, when they are turned on, they stay offline in the temrinal services.

I have desabled SNMP and they change the state to ready, and I can print, but if I turn it on they go offline again.

The only way they comunicate via SNMP is if I restart the print spooler service.


Already applied a hotfix 2713128 and the problem continues.


Has anyone experienced tha same that can give me a hint?


Thanks in advance,

Oz

Is this a supported solution? I haven't been able to find any guidance as of yet.

The customer does not yet have 2016 RDS CALs (has 2012 RDS CALs) but would like to future proof the solution as much as possible in the Interim.
