2003 terminal server. Clients log in , see their desktop and then it changes to a fake windows desktop.
I figured this was a virus or malware, and have scanned the server but have not found the virus/malware.
Because of the delay of the fake screen popping up, I figured it was in the startup folder, but it is not.
Malware Bytes only detected a possible threat in a download forlder, but that was eliminated.
Any clues where to look?
Hi,
You've posted in the wrong forum, this is a PowerShell forum.

Windows 2003 Terminal Server, ZEN 7, and WSUS
Hi,
We're having a problem getting a group policy to "Stick" in Windows 2003
terminal server. The server(s) have the ZEN 7.01 agent installed per
the TID's for a terminal server. We believe we've set all the Group
Policies of the users that login to these systems, yet once they are
rebooted, the WSUS update server location resets to the default
(update.microsoft.com). This is set in gpedit in:
\computer configuration\administrative templates\Windows
Components\Windows Update
Is this settable in a user package, or should this be done in a
workstation package? If so, could we "force" the workstation package to
override the Windows Update settings for all users, regardless of what
user policy package they have?
Thanks for any ideas!
GregIn the Properties of the WS Group Policy, there is an option to set "Loop
Back" so that the Computer GPO is set last.

Lost ability to edit on 2003 terminal server
Not sure when exactly it happened, but for some reason the ability
for Zen to manage the desktops on 2003 terminal server is gone.
Additionally when I open console one and try to edit the policy or
even create a new one and edit the group policies, the all is
greyed out. No button available for User, security or computer
configuration. I can select the path to where the policy is or
should be created, but clicking the edit button results in the
following error:
The policy that you are attempting to edit is being edited by
another user. I'm the only admin and no one else is editing it
for certain. I get the same message if I even attempt to create a
new policy from the terminal server desktop.

I dream of running Dreamweaver on a Windows 2003 Terminal Server
I have a "volume" license and attempted to install Dreamweaver CS4 on a Windows 2003 Terminal Server. I get an error message right away indicating that the system does not meet the minimum install requirements, ie XP/Vista.
Adobe volume licensing team verified that it is the correct license for installing on a terminal server, but after one hour of what would a bad nightmare with adobe "no" support (Outsourcing issue, failure to grasp and process the basic error message) I got no where and am having to resort to the forums. I have googled on this and got no where and nothing on the search efforts on this site.
If anyone has an idea of what is going on, bug, wrong install media, please clue me in.
Thanks!pziecina
Thanks for the information. We do have AppV here and tried that approach. While this gets us past the install minimum requirements, it does not resolve the issue of running of more than one instance at a time, per terminal server, even though our volume license allows for it. -
2003 Terminal Server Session Directory Clustering
Hi everybody ;
I have question about clustering TS Session Directory Service.
In my environment I have four terminal server which running Windows Server 2003 R2. Now we bought two new servers and we are planning to use them for File Server with Windows Server 2008 R2. I installed Windows Server 2008 R2 to this new servers
and i configured them for file server and clustered this two server. But i want to cluster the my terminal servers session directory service in this cluster environment. My terminal server WS2003 but cluster environment is WS2008. Is there a problem about
this version difference ?
Thanks.i don't believe so. 2003 terminal services requires at least 2x 2003 servers with the session directory service running on them to be clustered in MSCS. 2008 has a whole new session directory which will not serve 2003 remote desktop hosts

How to set default max cache size in win 2003 terminal server
Hi! I have a win 2003 terminal server, with 50+ user accounts, the problem is that the cache for firefox is never cleared, how do I set a apropriate (ie 50MB) max cache size for all users? As it is today, I have certain users with several millions of cahe files, which slows everything down.
firefox is 8.01 English version.Hey Macdaddy,
This happens all the time with our server at work. The server window never opens in the same place twice, and it can be annoying.
There are third-party window management tools out there, but what I did was use a macro program called Keyboard Maestro (since I already owned it).
Among the many things Keyboard Maestro can do is manipulate a window. I created a macro that moves it to a specific point (in my case, the upper left corner of the screen) and then resizes it to a specific width and height in pixels. I then assigned the macro a keyboard shortcut.
Now, when I mount the server, I can use the keyboard shortcut and the window is right where I want it.
There are other programs that just move windows, and I tried a couple. But Keyboard Maestro is more elegant in my opinion, and it does a whole lot more if you choose to go that route.
Hope this helps.

The following error pop's up as an [OK] dialogue box after logging in the iMac,
There was a problem connecting to the server "Time Capsule".
The share does not exist on the server. Please check the share name, and then try again."
As it happens, a connection to the Time Capsule is established usually, anyway. On occasion it doesn't.
I have a Volume, Data, on the capsule, which similarly, usually mounts, but occassionally doesn't, with access permissions denied.
Any suggestions on how begin to work out how to achieve networking seamlesness?First, restart the Time Capsule by disconnecting the power adapter and reconnecting it. If other devices on the network can see it, you can skip this step.
From the menu bar, select
▹ System Preferences ▹ Network
Click the lock icon in the lower left corner of the window and authenticate to unlock the settings, if necessary. Click the Advanced button, then select the TCP/IP tab in the sheet that drops down. Click Renew DHCP lease.
Try again to back up.
If you still can't, open the Time Machine preference pane and delete the TC from the list of backup destinations. You may have to unlock the settings by clicking the lock icon in order to do this. Then add it back. -
What happened to the option to see all your purchased movies alphabetically? I can only see recent purchases and then I have to look by movie type. With over 500 movies purchased, this is a huge pain. For instance the movie Airport 77 is classified as Drama not action? But it is action? I have to look at both types to find the film. I will stop buying films via AppleTV if this is the way it is going to stay. I am not searching for films in this crazy manner.
Same issue here. Might have to do with size of library. I too have over 300 purchased movies. "ALL PURCHASED" folder disappeared yesterday on all my AppleTV's. My son only has 20+ purchased movies and his still shows "ALL" folder. However, I had him log in under my account and "ALL" folder is missing??? I hope Apple gets this resolved quickly. I too do not want to flip through various Genres looking for movies.

Since updating to OS X Yosemite, I am unable to save files into another computer or server. I have to save it on my desktop and then drag it into the server. How do i correct this?
Ok this worked to solve the error.
Use cmd prompt in windows 7 or 8 and run as admin:
sc config lanmanworkstation depend= bowser/mrxsmb10/nsi
sc config mrxsmb20 start= disabled
No need for all that power shell nonsense as shown elsewhere for windows 8.
That's it. Also force smb2 disabling on the apple side for good measure.
With the above I was able to network mavericks and windows 8.1 pro flawlessly. He issues I had before where I could not read video, ISO and audio files (but could open documents and pictures from the windows machine connected to an apple network share folder went away. -

When I sign in to my online banking it allows me to see my profile and then kicks me out. When I sign in again it is fine. This is happening every time I open a new FireFox window. It is only happening with Firefox. I have deleted add-ons and browsing history.

I understand that when you visit your banking website and you login that the session times out.

Windows 2008 R2 Terminal Server clients lose remote printer queues after logoff
There are similar issues to this already on the forums but not precisely like this as far as I can tell, and I have tried all the fixes mentioned in those other threads.
Windows 2008R2 terminal server connecting to a 2008R2 print server. A script maps a connection to the print server on login. Users can browse the print server, connect to print queues to add them, and the queues work OK at first. As soon as they logoff/login
again, the queues still appear in their list of printers but cannot be selected for printing ('Print' button is greyed out).
Domain administrator users can print OK always; this is only affecting regular-user accounts, so it is probably a security/permissions issue. Print queues configured on the terminal server itself are OK, this only affects the queues on the
print server.
No errors are generated in the Event Logs. No failures seen for the print spooler or anything else.
I have added Everyone with Full Control to C:\windows\system32\spool on the terminal server. Tried giving full permissions to all in the printer properties. Cleaned out all registry keys in Client Side Rendering Print Provider as mentioned in some other
threads. In group policy, client printer redirection and LPT port redirection is allowed, use Easy Print driver first, and the print server is in the Intranet zone for low security. The issue happens for all print queues on the print server with a variety
of drivers so I don't think it is driver-related.A bad GPO being applied ??
If you isolate a user, remove all GPO (even loopback's one), connect manually to a printqueue to make him install's one. Logoff and reconnect and check again if the printqueue work good. The only right that could block you is the driver's installation, but
I really sure that you don't have that issue (as it would be logged anyway)
The admin. account often have less GPO that apply to him.
