Disable user cache on terminal servers

When users start reader XI on terminal server, it generates files in %appdata%\adobe\acrobat\11.0\cache, about 15 MB. It seems to be som fonts and other stuff??
As our user profiles are limited in size to 30 MB, it gives us some troubles. Is there any means of stopping reader from using cache?
See screenshot below.
Best regards
Bent Lauritsen

Max is set by group policy, it not possible to set it to more than 30 MB (it's per. user..)
Yes my language is Danish. Terminal server is Windows 2k3 with language pack installed.
You are right about the plugins. When I check plugin names, they are the same as file names. I can see alle plugins are approved, but not installed in reader|about|plugins

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?

Samba - disabling access for certain users on domain member servers

Hi all!
I'm running a small network that has domain logons for windows clients and I want to have single sign on (samba shares and shell accounts) on those three servers I'm running. The problem is, I don't want to allow all users to access all servers.
I have the samba running tdbsam password backend. Do I have to use ldap backend to achieve this or is it possible to do using tdbsam backend? I'd prefer to have all configuration concerning windows domain and passwords in one place...

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?

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

OIM-DBAT ...ERROR during Disabling user

Hi,
I am using database app tables connector with OIM, wherein the user is being provisioned to a database table. When user is Disabled, the assosciated database resource does not gets Disabled, Disable User is rejected and It gives following error:
GCPROV.ProvTransportProvider.DBProvisioningTransport.DB_STATUS_FIELD_LOOKUP_ERROR" does not correspond to a known Response Code. Using "UNKNOWN
The table has some attributes viz. Username, user id, fname, lname, Status(can be 0 or 1), email.
The requirement is: when user id terminated in OIM, the respective database resource should get Disabled, that is the status should be updated to 0.

Hi Sunny,
When I disable OIM user , Disable User process of the database account is invoked but it gets rejected giving the above stated error. And the status field in process form is not updated. In the GTC configuration, I have mentioned the table column name(ENABLED,which can take values 0 or 1) that will be acting as status ,and also provided the Lookup code name that contains the status mappings as follows:
Code Decode
Active 0
Disabled 1

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.

Disable Inbox Rules for Disable Users

I have found that when our helpdesk disables an AD user account (terminated employee) that has an Outlook inbox rule to forward the email to an email address outside the organization, emails sent to the former employee are still forwarded to that outside
email address. I would like to run a script each day that queries AD for all disabled accounts, removes any forwarding SMTP adresses, then removes all mailbox inbox rules. I have been trying to use get-aduser against a DC and export the list of
disabled users, this works fine. I then take that csv, import it and use -foreach-object to set the forwarding smtp address to null. I would then like to use the same csv file to run the -removeinbox rule command against the list. I am having
a hard time time combining the commands I need into a PS script that works against both AD and Exchange.
Anyone have some powershell kung fu to assist me? Thank you!
~Eric

Hi Eric,
According to your description, I understand that you want a script to get a list of disabled AD user, then removes any forwarding SMTP addresses, then removes all mailbox inbox rules.
We can run following command to get a list of disabled AD user in PowerShell:
Get-ADUser -Filter 'Enabled -eq "false"' | select name,userprincipalname
More details about “How Can I Get a List of All the Disabled User Accounts in Active Directory? “, for your reference:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/heyscriptingguy/archive/2005/05/12/how-can-i-get-a-list-of-all-the-disabled-user-accounts-in-active-directory.aspx
Also, run below command to disable forwarding SMTP address and inbox rule:
Get-Mailbox -Identity xxxx | Set-Mailbox -DeliverToMailboxAndForward $false
Get-InboxRule –Mailbox xxxx | remove-InboxRule
However, we recommend use this disable AD user to disable mailbox.
By the way, this question will related to the script of Exchange server, please contact relevant team so that you can get more professional suggestions. For your convenience:

Disable IP caching

I'm attempting to disable IP caching for my Web Start application. I would like to do this automatically so the end user does not need to manually modify a properties file.
In the application, I have the line:
java.security.Security.setProperty("networkaddress.cache.ttl" , "0");When I run this as a standalone application, it works fine. But if I include this in a jar and launch as a Web Start application, it no longer works. The property is set as expected, but the initial IP address is still cached.
I have attempted to set this property in other ways too, such as:
- Setting the property in the jnlp file. For example:
    <resources>
        <j2se version="1.4+" href="http://java.sun.com/products/autodl/j2se"/>
        <jar href="DnsTest.jar"/>
        <property name="networkaddress.cache.ttl" value="0"/>
    </resources>- Setting the analogous Sun-specific property (sun.net.inetaddr.ttl) in the jnlp file
- Prepending "java.security." to the names of these properties
- Setting the property in the code using System.setProperty()
- Setting the property as a jvm argument in the jnlp. For example:
<j2se version="1.4+" href="http://java.sun.com/products/autodl/j2se" java-vm-args="-Dnetworkaddress.cache.ttl=0"/>- Setting this property on the javaws command-line
- Using the command-line:
"javaws -userConfig deployment.javaws.secure.properties networkaddress.cache.ttl"
with networkaddress.cache.ttl specified in the jnlp
Please let me know if you have any recommendations.
Thank you.

I tried that and it seems like my arguments that I put into my JNLP file are not being passed to the JVM. I tried a few things, none of which seem to show up in the pop up box that is displayed. I tried:
<j2se version="1.5.0+" href="http://java.sun.com/products/auto\
dl/j2se" java-vm-args="-Xms77m -Xmx256m -Dsun.net.inetaddr.ttl=10 -Dnetworkaddress.cache.ttl=10 "/>and also
<property name="sun.net.inetaddr.ttl" value="10"/>
<property name="networkaddress.cache.ttl" value="10"/>I know you only need to set one of these, but I was just trying both just in case.
Neither of these show up in the arguments to the JVM.
I found one way to make this work, but it is quite ugly. If I define the JAVAWS_VM_ARGS environment variable on my local machine to have the timeout, then everything works as expected. However, this is not a very attractive option. I can't tell all the users to manually add this environment variable.
There has to be a better way. Does anyone have any ideas?

Disabling InfoPath Caching

I've been asked to disable InfoPath caching via Group Policy. Is there a way to do this or a reason to not do this? I believe some users encountered an issue with a form and this is a heavy handed approach to prevent it from happening again. I'm not a
big InfoPath guy, so I'm curious if there's a way to do it and if it's advisable.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to clear the cache in
Citrix.
As the article of Citrix said, you can clear the cache as below.
On the computer where you want to clear the cache, type the following at a command prompt:
radecache [-i] [-if] [-ir] [-u] [-uf] [–ur]
[/flush:GUID]
radecache [/flushall]
radecache [/?]
where GUID is the unique GUID for the application streamed to user devices.
GUIDs must not include spaces.
As this issue is related to the Citrix, I recommend you can post your question to the forum for
Citrix:
http://discussions.citrix.com/
More experts will assist you, then you will get more information relation to
Citrix.
Thank you for your understanding and support.
Thanks & Regards,

Disabled users still on Lync and client contact list

Any way I could cleanup disabled users in Lync? I also realized such users are still on contact list of users. Any process to automatically clean users up when they are disabled in Active Directory. Am seeing terminated users in the Lync systems.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks!
Alert from TechNet Posting

You need to disable users for Lync Server, as the address book updates, the contact information updates, then non-existing contacts disappear automatically.

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.

HI I am facing problem to disable user in LDAP thru SIM

Hi,I have configured LDAP directory server in sun IDM.
after creating the user in IDM & LDAP I am trying to disable the user both in SIM as well as LDAP,in the IDM repository it is showing as the user in LDAP got disabled but actually in LDAP the user account is in active state.
I am not understanding why this problem is coming.Earlier when I tried to diable the user in LDAP thru IDM it was working fine but it is not working now.It is very urgent for me.Can anyone tell the reason.?Any advices will be helpfule.

There are two ways of disabling ANY account on ANY resource through resourc adapter.
1) use native method, if it exists.
2) change password to some value which matches password policy AND completely forget this password.
The first method is used for some adapters, Oracle for example.
The second method is used more widely, for Solaris, Redhat Linux, LDAP... and many other resource.
I believe that they made LDAPResourceAdapter using DisableUser this way so that it can be used for comunicating with non-sun directory servers as well.
So, disabling user from Identity Manager does not disable the user through setting any native flag on JES Directory Server, but by changing and forgetting password AND marking that account as "disabled" in the Identity Manager instead.
The user cannot log on anymore, so the "disable" is ok. Although you cannot see that the user is disabled using common ldaptools.

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.

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.
