Access GPU on PHYSICAL terminal servers

Hello,
How can i get access to GPU on PHYSICAL terminal servers (2008R2/2012R2)?
GPU is required for D3D/OGL apps in remote sessions.
Two variants are acceptable:
1) access to server GPU
2) access to client GPU

Hi,
Currently there is no option to give access to physical GPU under RDSH. For DirectX applications under Server 2012 R2, you
may see a benefit by having a physical GPU in the server, with RDSH running on physical, and Enabling Use the hardware default graphics adapter for all Remote Desktop Services sessions group policy setting.
You will need to test the specific DirectX application(s) to see if there is any benefit to the scenario described above.

Office 2007 Licencing on 2008 R2 Terminal Servers

Hi All,
Is Office on terminal server licenced per user accessing Office? or per user accessing the terminal server?
I am in the process of moving to terminal servers and thinclient rollout.
There are currently around 200 users, connecting to 4 Windows 2008 Terminal servers and all is looking good.
Exactly half of these users will not have access to Office at all, I currently restrict those users by software restriction policies.
I currently have 200 licences for office, 100 of which are being used.
As the rollout continues, eventually there will be 400 users on the terminal servers, 200 of which will use office.
Do I need a total of 400 licences for office? Or will the 200 we currently own suffice?

Client Side Rendering on Terminal Servers

I’m having horrible printer issues on my Terminal Servers such as slow printing, slow to add printers, some applications load slowly because they are enumerating the list of printer (thanks Procmon), slow logons, etc. I'm trying to get Client Side Rendering
(CSR) disabled. From what I can tell it still appears to be on. Terminal Server are Windows Server 2008 SP2 x86.
On my print servers I have verified that all printers have Render print jobs on client computer unchecked. I have a Group Policy linked to the OU that the Terminal Servers are in that has
Always render print jobs on the server set to enabled. Per
http://blogs.technet.com/b/askperf/archive/2008/02/10/ws2008-client-side-rendering.aspx I have verified that on each Terminal Server in
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Printers the
ForceCSREMFDespooling value is present & set to 1 so the GP is being applied.
However I still have tons of entries in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Print\Providers\Client Side Rendering Print Provider\Servers\<SERVERNAME>\Printers.
I have found KB958656 which seems to describe my problem that CSR is not being disabled. However one of the files it updates is older than a file that I have (win32spl.dll) & one is newer (printcom.dll).
Printcom.dll in hotfix is 6.0.6001.22288 mine is 6.0.6001.18000
Win32spl.dll in hotfix is 6.0.6001.22288 mine is 6.0.6002.18005
Has anyone else seen this behavior & been able to get CSR disabled?
Has anyone else had success with the KB hotfix mentioned or know whether or not installing it would causing any issues (since it has that older file)?
Thanks in an advance to any input.

Alan/Patrick,
Hi, sorry, went away on leave for a while so didn’t respond.
Alan – our case was REG:112081612189183.
For someone who has been dealing with MS support for about 20 years, this was the most disappointing of any support call I’ve ever had raised – to have the call shut
down, without a perfmon trace, process explorer analysis, or hang dump analysis (of spooler) – and simply blame “3<sup>rd</sup> party drivers” without any proof – is utterly deplorable.
Anyway, for anyone’s benefit who has similar problems – trying to do direct printing from RDS – I’ve managed to get a solution working.
Here are the details;
A nightly print spooler clean-up script that;
Stops the spooler
Deletes the entire key under “HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Print\Providers\Client Side Rendering Print Provider”
Re-creates the key (empty) and sets the value "RemovePrintersAtLogoff"=dword:00000000
Note, this was vital.
MS support had recommended we set this to 1, along with some other keys (InactiveGuidPrinterAge,
InactiveGuidPrinterTrim) with specific values. If we used these MS support recommended values, our RDS serer would not enumerate printers for more than 3-4 hours before requiring a restart of the spooler.
Restart the spooler
Map a printer (just to make sure it works)
Clean up the USERS\.DEFAULT\Printers key on all existing servers
There was heaps of crap here, the default user NTUSER.DAT was over 800MB in size
Modify the security on the registry, using GPO to deny SYSTEM write access as below, to stop the crap writing here again;
USERS\.DEFAULT\Printers
Deny Set value
Deny Create Subkey
Run NGREGOPT on all servers to compress the DEFAULT and SOFTWARE hives back down.
Even though we had deleted the crap from “Client Side Rendering Print Provider” and the DEFAULT user hive, the registry files were still large of course, and needed to be compressed to reduce
paged pool usage.
Note, make sure no users are on the server when this is run !
With the nightly spooler ‘refresh’ and the registry security changes, we are no longer seeing any problems.
In addition the paged pool has gone down from 5GB to 1GB – which I believe was related to the registry bloat that had occurred previously.
Cleaning up the keys and using NGREGOPT has fixed this.
In addition, I am running a spooler check script every 30 minutes on each of the 13 servers.
This script checks how long it takes to enumerate the printers for the specific test user.
If it takes more than 20 seconds, we get an alert.
Since I have made the changes above, we no longer have any printing problems… touch wood.. even using HPD 5.4 for most printers, and other (RICHO) 3<sup>rd</sup> party
drivers.
If anyone wants the scripts (the spooler refresh or the check script) let me know on david.frith<at>glfconsulting.com.au

SQL Compact 4 on Terminal Servers possible?

We want to use a SQL Server Compact 4 database for a local cached database.
We need this to work on Terminal Servers. It works fine but only for the first session which starts to use it. All newer session gets error messages like:
Error: There is a file sharing violation. A different process might be using the file.
We've tried all the available connection modes (like read or Shared Read) but nothing works. Does this sound familiair and is there a solution or good fast alternative?

Only the service has exclusive access to it.
If the database is open with "exclusive Access", then no other app can open the database file, even not for read-only.

LabVIEW license for terminal servers and thin clients (e.g. LTSP)

Does NI plan to provide a license agreement for terminal servers and thin
clients?
I've been told to purchase a multi-seat license. That doesn't make much
sense since the thin clients won't be accessing DAQ hardware. They're
just used for developing the LV source.
Comments/suggestions?

Yes, this is a very good point. Quite a unique situation when compared to
text based languages. Keep in mind I certainly don't mind paying for that
but I see no need to pay for much of the other features - like running it.
This is certainly one of the other features you pay for with LV. Since
we never plan to run the app on the thin client, why pay for that
feature?
What we do is crank out source code on the thin clients. We then send the
source code to this wireless mobile DAQ station running WindowsXP. From
there we can roll it up to our clients' target systems. That machine is
used for debugging then compilin
g so it has its own LV Prof Dev license
installed on it. Also, it can be operated locally or remotely via remote
desktop (one user at a time).
I know it may sound strange but it works great. And as the NI Software
License Agreement(NISLA) specifies, we have separate licenses on all
machines that load LV into local memory. The thin clients load nothing
into local memory, hence no need for a separate license.
> I express myself clearly in the hope of guidance. I am a one man shop
Yes, this is understandable. Installing one license on multiple machines
is a big no-no. However, that is not what I'm trying to do. Take a peek
at the "Grant of License" and "Single Seat License" sections of the NISLA.
> You say "That doesn't make much sense since ..." One of my clients has a
Ha! How about this scenario: As wireless hardware (bluetooth, wifi)
becomes more common, perhaps NI will have a peer scanner on all PCs with
LV installed. That way if you get within 100 feet of a P
C with the same
LV serial number, you get locked out and it sends a small message to the
NI batcave.
Thanks for the response. I'm hoping NI chimes in soon.

How to access proxy settings in terminal

I want to use git in the terminal, but unfortunately I'm sometimes (but not always) behind a firewall that requires me to use a proxy server.
I've successfully set up environments for all these locations, including the proxy settings that are relevant in each context, but I'm unable to access them in the terminal (i.e. there's no HTTP_PROXY environment variable). My idea is to 'inherit' the system wide proxy settings in the terminal and use them to configure git.
Is there any way to access the proxy settings in the terminal.

In you home directory, create a file called .bash_profile (notice the leading dot)
nano .bash_profile
add to that file
export HTTP_PROXY="http://your.proxy.information:nnn"
Save the file
Restart the Terminal session.
Command line Git should work via the environment variable you just created.
NOTE: you will need to use
ls -a
to see the .bash_profile in a Terminal session, and because the leading dot makes it an invisible file, the Finder will not show it without some magic Finder Foo

No Sound on virtual Windows 2008 R2 terminal servers

Hello. I have a hyper-v server with 3 terminal servers (in fact there are two hyper-v with a totall of 6 terminal servers).
Hyper-V server is W2K8R2 and so are the terminal servers.
Users connect to the terminal servers using RDP and are unable to play sounds locally on their thin and fat clients.
I installed Desktop Experience and offcourse done the steps below.
Win2008
Start -> Run -> services.msc
Change the Windows Audio service from 'Disabled' to 'Automatic' - and start it.
Lauch the Remote Desktop Session Host Configuration utility by going to START -> RUN/SEARCH -> and typing entering the following command: tsconfig.msc <ENTER>
On the right-hand pane, double click on 'RDP-TCP'
Select the 'Client Settings' tab
Clear/Uncheck the Audio and video playback check box
Log off the system and launch your RDP client.
Before you connect to the system, click the Options button/arrow to expand the RDP session options.
Click the ‘Local Resources Tab’ and under ‘Remote audio’ click the ‘Settings’ button.
On the window that pops-up, under ‘Remote audio playback’ click ‘Play on this computer’ and click OK.
Connect to the virtual machine and you now have sound!
(quick test, you can use START -> RUN -> c:\windows\media\tada.wav (it may prompt you to configure Media Player for first usage).
After this, the users are still unable to play audio in their terminal session.
They have boxes or headphones connected to their devices and are able to play audio local on their fat clients. (Windows pc's)
Does anyone has more idea's?

Java is very slow on terminal servers

Hi, we have several terminal servers for clients. But running Java (JRE) on a bank website, is very slow to load the Java plugin. So the whole login takes around 1-2mins to complete.
We run Windows Server 2008 R2 which is virtualized with VMWare, we run the latest Java client v7 Update 17. Java has always been slow on these servers, is there a way to teak it somewho, so it loads faster?

WoOber wrote:
Its me who have setup the whole server, but users experience really that Java starts really slow when they try to login on their bank on the web.And how is that login done? In an applet? Because then the performance issue is on their own computer in their own private installations of browsers and Java runtimes, not your terminal. Applets tend to load 'slowly', especially on older versions of Java. The feeling of slowness tends to be because people compare the loading time to Flash, a completely different beast.

Quicktime 7.04, Windows Terminal servers, and no sound

Hi all,
I suspect this is related to all those posts I've already read here about sound problems with QT 7.04...
I look after a number of Windows 2003 terminal servers in schools. They used to have QuickTime 6.52 and played sound just fine. However, when I upgraded them to 7.04, the video played but no sound. Testing is easy; I just open up the SAMPLE.MOV in the QuickTime folder! On a terminal server with 6.52, it plays video AND audio just fine. But when I upgrade that same box to 7.04, the sound is then gone!
I suppose the quick solution is to revert back to 6.52. Our concern of course was all the talk about 6.52 having various security vulnerabilities--the fix was to upgrade to 7.04.
So now I have a secure version of QuickTime, but it doesn't play audio anymore. Not much of a solution!!!
Thoughts? Am I stuck waiting for a 7.05 fix? On the terminal servers, the safe mode (wave out only) was already the default option for QT 7.04, and I've tried making various adjustments to no avail.
Thanks for any help,
Sir Timbit

Sir Timbit,
We are experiencing the exact same issue at our school. Most of our classrooms are thin client PCs connecting to a Win2003 terminal server. When we decided to go thin client, we tested all multimedia applications that we could think of. With the upgrade to QT 7, we now have stuttering audio. I certainly hope that Apple is woking on a fix for this as it is negatively impacting our instructors as well as creating a perception that Quicktime is not a good multi-media application.
So, while I don't have a solution... I hope that someone at Apple will address our needs.

Network printers on Terminal Servers

Hi,
We have 14 terminal servers (2008) that we work on and every time we add/remove a printer, I've been manually going onto each server and making the change (which is especially time consuming when adding network printers). I'm just wondering if anyone knows
a faster way to do this without going on to each TS and adding printer, etc? I know there is the Easy Print but we do not use it for various reasons. Also, all of our printers are on each TS, they are not user specific so it seems it should be easier. Any
ideas?

Hi,
Thanks for your posting in Windows Server Forum.
According to your comment, I can suggest you to try a script to add/remove printers. Go through beneath article for detail.

What's the recommended practice on logging errors from custom built applications hosted on Terminal Servers.

Hi,
We have custom built applications which are now hosted on Windows Terminal Servers.
We are looking for recommendation on logging. Is it
advisable to use a shared NAS folder or make use of event log on individual servers?
Thanks,
Raj

Hi Dharmesh,
Thanks for responding.
This is a large deployment involving hundreds of applications and servers. My responsibility is to come up with development guidelines for applications hosted on TS. I have gone through the guidelines
posted by Microsoft @
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa383490(v=vs.85).aspx. But it didn't cover the topic on logging.
Do you know whether Microsoft has published any other document on this topic.

Premiere cs6, Retina MBP (late 13) cant access GPU CUDA

Premiere cs6, Retina MBP (late 13) cant access GPU CUDA
About a month ago I got the new Macbook Pro Retina 15-inch with the i7 and Nvidia GT 750M graphics card for work. It has 16gb RAM and a 500gb SSD. Im using it to edit on the go.
PROBLEM:
Ive installed latest Premiere Update 6.0.5 and latest CUDA drivers from NVidia but when I check the renderer settings in Premiere 6 it only shows Mercury playpack in software mode only. Ive read up on last years model being fixed by a recent update by Adobe and thought this might have sorted this version out too. ive also disabled switching in Energy saver mode to ensure it only selects the high spec card but that appears to do nothing.
Any support ideas welcome

CAL's Terminal server 2012R2 with existing Terminal servers in 2008R2

Dear Everyone,
I'm installing a new terminal server 2012R2 for our dev team. I need to configure CAL's on this server to allow poeple to connect. The thing is we already have 2 servers in 2008R2 that are activated with CAL's (46).
My question is, may I add this new server in the same pool of CAL's ? I see in our volume licensing portal that they are already for 2012R2 BUT I don't want to kill the access to servers in 2008R2 !! (Production)
Regards,
Vincent

Hi Vincent,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
See with RD License server it’s like that you can access any lower version of RDS CAL (Such as 2003, 2008\R2) with Server 2012\R2 but the vice versa scenario is not possible. So you need to install and configure RD Licensing server 2012\R2 and then manage all
other lower version from there. You can check interoperability article for RD License server.

Using the App Server DAS to access "my" MBeans on cluster servers

I am wanting to use JMX to access some custom MBeans that are on server instances that are participating in app server clusters. I figured the way to do this is by connecting to the DAS, but the service groups don't show within the DAS (like when using JConsole), I can access other AMX services, but not my custom ones. I can access my MBeans if I directly connect to the app servers.
Any ideas? I am trying to keep my jmx client from having to know physical location of the clustered servers, and only knowing about the DAS.
Thanks,
Scott

Hi,
I am not an Application Server expert so I won't be able to answer your question
directly - but maybe the article 'Managing and Monitoring Web Services in
Project GlassFish' could be of help:
http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/appserver/reference/techart/ws_mgmt.html
There's also the doc on docs.sun.com which you may already know:
Chapter 20 Using the Application Server Management Extensions

If you still don't get your answer - you may also want to visit the glassfish project:

or The Aquarium: http://blogs.sun.com/theaquarium which has lots of interesting
