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.

Terminal Server Printing with OSX

We have a windows 2003 terminal server.
We have 10 remote powerbook users with OSX.
All the remote users have printers "without" postscript capabilities.
We want to remote access the terminal server, using RDP, and have the ability to print on the local users printers.
How can we achieve this. We can find no support for this anywhere on the web.
Need urgent assistance.
Thanks
shooshine

I'm not quite sure what you and your IT manager tried, so I'll try to restate myself.
If you don't have the ability to install printers "locally" on the server (many users are restricted to installing only "network" printers) then your IT manager should create a new local printer on the server and one of the default "ports" you can select is "Print to File". This is in the same dropdown list that includes LPT, USB, etc. As you continue through the printer configuration wizard you'll be asked to select a printer descirption. A "generic" Postscript description is fine for standard page sizes such as Letter, Legal, etc.
You would then (through RDC) open your document and print, selecting the "print to file" printer. You'll be asked where to save the .ps file. I suggest the Desktop so that it's easier to find.
Then you can open the "My Computer" icon where you'll see the C: drive, D: drive, etc., and (if you've configured your RDC client to share your Mac's local disk) a drive letter assigned to your Mac disk. Copy the .ps file to your Mac's disk, which will copy it to your Mac's hard drive.
The Preview application can open Postscript files and render them on-screen. Once you're this far, it's should be simplay a matter of printing to your locally attached printer or saving the file to a PDF or similar file format out of Preview.
Hope this helps! bill

CAL License for server 2012R2

Around $800 USD sounds right for Server itself (the Standard edition). In addition to that, you need user or device licenses, known as a CAL. Typically people buy user CALs but there are situations where device makes sense. The Server license does not include CALs, so you do need to buy them separately.

I ask a IT vendor company for a License for server 2012R2
He give me the price of 3000AED = 800+ USD
so at the time of delivery he ask for 4 CAL licenses he said that you have to purchase it.
Any Idea about licensing of server 2012R2

Application Server slowdown with multiple proxy servers ?

Our environment has our iAS boxes talking to iWS web servers which are front-ended with iPlanet Proxy servers (Proxy 3.53 I believe). We are seeing significant slowdown if we try and hit our web apps through the proxy as opposed to going directly to the web server (bypassing the proxy servers). One of our "proxy" guys recalls hearing that there is an issue with the app server's handling of sessions if requests from the same user come in to the web server (and by extension the app server) from multiple proxy servers with different ip's. Has any body ever encountered this or does any body know if the app server has an issue handling the same sessions whose requests come from different ip addresses (different proxies)?

The proxy work with HTTP 1.0 and the webserver with HTTP 1.1.
This difference could be the cause of your problems.

Running Windows Terminal Server 2003 with old version of Adobe. got the message it was no longer supported and it stopped working. Trying to install XI and it gets about 70% done and stops. Ran the cleaner on the 9.3 version to remove it. We use this

Installing Adobe Reader XI and it is stopping at about 70%. No error, it just stops. If I hit cancel and try it again, I get the 2203 error.

You are right: CS5 installs Flash Player 10.1 beta. You cannot install an older version of Flash Player unless you completely uninstall the beta version first:
download the 10.1 uninstaller from http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html#uninstallers and save it to disk;
from a Command Prompt, run the downloaded uninstaller with the -force option.

Prblem with iSCSI on Win Server 2012R2 with HyperV role

Hi all,
I have some problems with iSCSI on Win server. The problem is the following.
When I restart server it cannot find the path with VMs configuration and VMs can't start. After few minutes all problems are gone and HyperV can find everything but I must start VMs manually.
The server is DELL R710 with Broadcom NICs. I tried to configure LAN interfaces for iSCSI in two ways. First - from OS and second - from Broadcom BACS with disabled NDIS/Ethernet and enabled iSCSI. The results are the same.
I have two more servers connected to the storage in the same way and everything is fine there.
Events are following:
1. Source MSiSCSI. ID 108

Hi Sergey,
>>When I restart server it cannot find the path with VMs configuration and VMs can't start. After few minutes all problems are gone and HyperV can find everything but I must start VMs manually.
As a workaround you can set the "startup delay" for VMs .
>>Initiator failed to connect to the target. Target IP address and TCP Port number are given in dump data.
The possible cause may be the network stack is not fully prepared when the initiator was trying to connect to persistent targets. The initiator will try to connect. When the network stack is fully prepared, the connection should be successfully established.
If you receive this error when the iSCSI target device that is listed on the
Favorite Targets tab no longer exists, you can resolve this issue by removing the iSCSI target device from the list of favorite targets.
If you receive this error, and you cannot access an iSCSI target device that is still configured on the network, make sure that the client computer has network connectivity to the iSCSI target. Additionally, make sure that name resolution is working correctly.
If you have successfully connected to your iSCSI target device despite this error, it indicates that the connectivity issue was temporary. Therefore, you can safely ignore this Error event.

Could Oracle 10g (in a server) work with existing Oracle 9i client

Hello!
I am new in Oracle, and I was wondering if it’s possible to use Oracle 10g in a server with clients using Oracle 9i. Would that work? Are they compatible?.
Thanks!

my 9.2 client can not connect to 10g server,
It says that "this application requires that you have been granted to select any dictionary privelege".
my 10 g client connecting normally, but i have many terminal computers with 9 client.
Tell me how to connect to 10g server from 9 client please.

Problems setting up testing server CS5 with existing PhP site copied to hard drive

A couple of years ago I dabbled in CS3 & PhP, but haven't touched it since 2009. I still have WAMP loaded on my machines. I'm now in a work situation where I was asked to see if I could make some simple copy updates to sites written in PhP. I copied the entire sites over to my hard drive, and placed them in the WAMP www root folder, and followed instructions to setting up the site in CS5 (which is pretty close to the CS3 setup). I made sure WAMP was running, and I'm still unable to connect. I am using "localhost" as part of the URL for the web server designation. I continue to get an "internal server error" message on these pages. I am able to, from my browser, type in "http:localhost" and it appears that WAMP is running properly. And I do remember to start WAMP before I start a DW session.
So, I kept experimenting. If I define a new PhP site and create a test document with simple PhP code, the connection to the testing server works and renders the code. It's just the existing PhP site I've copied over generates the Internal server message.
Is there something basic I'm not understanding about viewing and manipulating a PhP site created by someone else using DW CS5?

The first question: on what platform? Windows - Mac?
I only succeeded in setting up a testing server on my Mac
with PHP and MySQL after reading a book of David Powers. On Leopard
I belief there still are problems connecting PHP to MySQL.

Trying to process cube on server erroring with No Logon servers available

I am trying to deploy my cube on a remote server for the first time.
I used the deployment wizard to build an XMLA script which I successfully ran on the server.
The datasource is set up to use my network credentials to login. This works fine when I run the cube locally.
However after running the XMLA script and I try to process the cube, I get the error :
There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request.
I don't know much about windows security, and am stumped as what to do next.
Not sure if I am doing anything right as this is my first BI project, is there a better way to deploy and update the cube?
Or recommended settings.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Jon

Hi,
Here are some troubleshooting steps. Take a look into the following screen.
In order for the cube to process, the data warehouse database used in Connection String (This is defined in cube's data source) should have data read access against the target Data Warehouse database. To troubleshoot this click on the Test Connection button.
It should return "Test Connection Succeeded" message. If the message is an error which means current windows log-in does not have access to the Data warehouse database. Normally in production environments there is a dedicated windows account to do
these kind of work.
1 - Create a windows User Account which has relevant access permissions.
2 - Grant permission to access the Data Warehouse database to that user (Read access would enough)
3 - In SSAS Server Add this account as Server Administrator. To do that follow the following screenshot.
4 - Once this is done browse the data source of the SSAS database (<Your SSAS Database>\Data Sources\<Your Data Source Name>) and click properties (This is also in the very first screenshot)
5 - Click on "Impersonation Info" under Security Settings (This is also in the very first screenshot)
6 - Out of four options in that screen choose "Use a specific Windows user name and password"
7 - Enter the User ID and password you created for this purpose and click OK.
8 - Perform the "Test Connection" procedure (mentioned in the very biging of the post) and you should be good now.
9 - Process the cube and you should be able to process it without any errors.

Problem with Adobe Pro and Reader on terminal server

Hi,
We have have a Terminal Server environment with Adobe Pro and Reader. We have security for Adobe Pro, so only certain user has access to Adobe Pro and all users has access to Adobe Reader.
Some users receive many email with pdf's attachments in Outlook and need to print these attachments. They use the Outlook function to print email and attachment automatically. The users who has access to Adobe Pro can print attachment automatically with no problem.
The problem is user who only have access to Adobe Reader. The user can't print attachment automatically with the email, only the email is printed. But, they can open attachment and print with Adobe Reader. But, it's impossible to open each attachment because there are so many.
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
So if I understand correctly,
1. You have installed Acrobat Pro & Reader on a Terminal server.
2. You have created a security group in your Active Directory Users & Computers for users having access to Acrobat
3. You have set permissions on C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe and C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\Acrobat\Acrotray.exe on the terminal server and provided access only to the security group created above.
4. Users are accessing the Terminal server through RDWeb or connecting remotely through MSTSC (RDP) or using a .RDP file
5. Users get emails with PDF attachments and print the mail directly without opening the PDF in Reader.
Users check the box to print the attachments with the mail (see snapshot below):
Some questions:
1. What is the OS and platform (x86 or x64) of the terminal server?
2. What are the versions of Acrobat & Reader on the terminal server?
Thanks,
Vinod

Phtoshop with Terminal Server

Hello.
We are using different products:
Photoshop
6.01
Photoshop CS
2.0
Photoshop CS
4.0
Photoshop   Elements
1.0
Photoshop   Elements
2.0
First question: Is it possible to run all of them with a terminal server? With terminal server I mean every user starts it's own session on the server when starting the programm. It doesn't matter on which kind of server (Windows, Citrix). We just want to know, if it is possible.
If we change our running systems to Windows 7 we have to change our products, too.
Adobe   Photoshop CS5
Adobe   Photoshop CS5
Adobe   Photoshop CS5
Adobe   Photoshop Elements 9
Adobe   Photoshop Elements 9
Can these programms be used with a terminal server?
Thanks a lot for the answer and the heldp.
David

I don't have Elements 1.0, so I can't answer for that version, though as I recall it was pretty closely related to Photoshop 6.0 or 7.0, so it should work.
For all other versions of Photoshop, I have brought them up over RDP and tested them, and they do run.
Note that OpenGL cannot be enabled over an RDP connection for Photoshop CS4 and CS5.x (not even with W7 SP1 and Server 2008 R2), so people expecting to use the several good features ONLY available when OpenGL is enabled may miss them. As with the other versions, the interactivity is generally diminished by remoting the relatively high bandwidth graphics operations across a link, because no matter how fast a link is it's nowhere near as direct as the PCIe buss to a local graphics card.
Generally speaking, Photoshop can be both extremely compute-intensive and put a lot of data out to the UI, so it's not a very good fit to running via Terminal Services. I certainly would prefer running it locally.
I do hope you have a good, responsive LAN between your terminal server and your clients, and a very healthy server.

Move Terminal server licenses to another server

We have one terminal server VM hosted in hyper v server. currently there is a problem with the hyper v server hdd and we might need to rebuild the whole server. We would like to setup a new terminal server on a new server. The existing terminal server is
windows server 2003. After I fresh setup the Windows server 2003 VM in a new server, how do I move the terminal server license to a new server? FYI, we would like to decommission the old terminal server. But we would like to do it in parallel as there are
many users are still accessing to the old terminal server.
Thanks so much.
Regards,
Henry

Hi Henry,
First you need to gather your licensing paperwork, authorization number(s), license number(s), etc. for your existing licenses. This step is critical.
Next install RD Licensing on the replacement 2003 server, Activate it using Terminal Server Licensing (licmgr.exe), then install the TS CALs. If you receive an error when installing the old TS CALs please contact the Clearinghouse and explain
to them you need to install the TS CALs on a new server because the old one is being decommissioned.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/291795
Once you have confirmed that the old TS CALs are installed on the replacement 2003 TS then make sure your 2003 TS is set to the correct Licensing mode (to match the type of TS CALs) and you have Specified the name of the new RD Licensing server.
You do this in Terminal Services Configuration (tscc.msc) on the replacement terminal server.
As an alternative you could install the existing TS CALs on a newer RD Licensing server such as Server 2008 R2, Server 2012, etc. You still will need to have the authorization number(s), license number(s), etc. for the existing 2003 TS CALs.

Running Forms on oracle Application 10g(9.0.4) on terminal Server

oracle application Server Installation guide for windows states that
Oracle Application Server is not supported on Windows operating systems that
include Terminal Services (for example, Windows NT Terminal Server Edition and
Windows 2000 with Terminal Services are not supported).
My Remarks : It means Oracle Application server cannot be installed on the Windows server on which Windows Terminal Services are on.
Please consider the following deployment scenario
Server 1
OS : Windows 2000
Software Installed : Oracle Database 10g
Server 2
OS : Windows 2000
Software Installed : Oracle Application Server 10g(9.0.4) on which Forms and Reports are deployed
Server 3
OS : Windows 2000 as Terminal Server
Software Installed : IE 6.0 , that will act as Client Machine.
I have following Queries
1. Oracle does not allow OAS installed on Terminal Server, will it allow Terminal Server( Server 3) to act as Client and to run web base forms and reports on it.
2.
In case It allow to run forms and reports on Terminal Server ( Server 3) does it means thin client machines connected to Terminal Sever can access Forms and Reports.
Thanks and Regards,
Ankur Diwan

The bottom line is that we don't certify running Forms using the features of a terminal server to serve up any part of those Forms. That doesn't mean it does not work, but its not certified or supported.

Flash player terminal server Nomachine very slow firefox 3.0.3

Hello all,
I have a serious problem which i cannot reolve by myself.
When using firefox 3.0.3 and flash 9.0.124 and 10 in a
terminal server environment with bandwidth limit to 320k firefox is
slowing down because of the limit in bandwidth.
The terminal server software caps the bandwidth usage because
we run an controlled internet environment for our business safety
and there are more then 3000 users logged in so the bandwith should
be capped for performance reasons.
When i play a flash movie from youtube or visiting sites like
http://www.derbauer.de then the
terminal server software just tels the software that it cannot
process that much bandwidth so the application slows down.
Now i have off course multiple options:
1 disabling flash (not very nice to users)
2 raise the limit (less users in our environment or more
costs for extra hardware)
3 asking Nomachine to drop frames are do something fancy with
it.
4 make an option in the flash plugin to say play this video
with only 1 frame per second
The last isn't very nice for people either but flash
applications still work only viewing flash video's is not as good
as people want.
What are your thoughts on this?
With kind regards
William van de Velde

EDIT: Oh, and you have very little free RAM and lots of Page Outs. So, in fact, first thing to do is to simply restart and only have FF open and test.
First thing to do is to start FF in Safe Mode and see how it's working. This will temporarily disable all Add-ons and use a clean Profile. If it's running OK there, then it's time to look at your Add-ons to find a culprit, or start with a new clean Profile.
Hold down the Option (alt) key when opening FF.
You should also get rid of the steam clean thing. Those cleaning programs, if that's what this thing is, are dangerous and not needed.

WSA S160 Support for Terminal Servers (How are terminal server connections handled?)

We have a terminal server environment with a mixture of computers and laptops. Currently we have multiple proxy servers and would like to considate down to one. Our current solution does not work well in a terminal server environment. We are looking for a way to integrate all equipment with one soluton and I was curious as to how the S160 handled users connecting via a terminal server.

Edadios thanks for the response. I was reading over this document (see attached), and it looks to me like the connection would be tracked via a cookie surrogate. My bigger concern is that we are looking to be able to track usage per user even though they are on a terminal server. Our current solution (Barracuda) is not able to perform this function. I am hoping to have a S160 on site this week to do some testing but was hoping to gather some intel in the forums prior to implementation.
The response helps clear up what protocols are in use but I am still wondering how terminal server connections are handled by the WSA and if they are truly handled and tracked per user instead of by the device they are connecing to.
