Group Policy For 2008 Terminal Server Users Default Open With Not Working

I'm trying to change the default open with behavior for jpg files on my terminal server. I created a Group Policy that changed it to MS Paint to Office 2010 Picture Manager. The policy appears to apply correctly but jpg files still open in
Paint. When a user is logged on, if they look at the properties of a jpg, it shows Photo Gallery as the program to open it but when opened, it opens in Paint.
Has anyone seen this behavior before?

Users changing 'open with:' not working/permanent

We have an issue with 'open with:' (within get info options) not permanently remembering any changes.
We have Lion Server set up as OD and when users login any PDF or EPS files are set to open using Preview, users then change this via 'get info' to 'open with:' (change all) Acrobat and iIlustrator. But, this only works for the present session. If they move to another mac or a mac is restarted, the options revert back to Preview, not a permanently change to Acrobat and illustrator.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

We have now changed to a new Server running ML Server and still having the same problems, is there no-one who knows how to solve this???

Hi,
According to the error message, please use performance monitor to diagnose if it is a memory-related bottleneck and you can use the counters of the memory part in the article below:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/2008.08.pulse.aspx
In addition, it may be due to thousands of open connections to the server are in a TIME_WAIT state. You can run "netstat -an" command on the affected server and client. If you see mutiple connections in the TIME_WAIT state, you can follow the article
to increase the number of TCP/IP connections:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee377084(v=bts.70).aspx
Furthermore, if you are running windows server 2003, please make sure that you have installed the KB 948496 and stop all services that you don't need.

Windows 2008 Terminal Server "user must change password at next logon" problem with Windows 7 client.

Hi,
I have a fully patched Windows 2008 SP2 Terminal Server and a fully patched Windows 7 client.
I have logged into the Windows 2008 SP2 Terminal Server server with a test account via RDC before.
When I try to log in via RDC to the 2008 TS with a test account which has been marked with the setting "User must change password at next logon" I get the RDC message "You must change your password before logging on the first time. For assistance, contact your system administrator or technical support." I need to force the user to change their password once it has been issued, any ideas on how this can be done?
Thanks,
Dan

This does not resolve my issue all the way. I'm having the same problem; When i'm "deploying" users, i always want the users to set their own passwords. Ok, so I then set the auth mode to "RDP Security layer". It seemed to work fine, and it does for that
special purpose.
Just like Daniel, my clients are connecting to our terminal server from several/different "customer-domains" So, they can't logon locally(on their local computer) and change their password, it has to be done THROUGH the terminal server.
But if I turn on RDP Security Layer, users can't use remoteapp through tsgw they only get: "Your Remote Desktop Connection Failed because the remote computer cannot be authenticated" Any ideas?
Also, our terminal servers is round robin based in a farm. So users connect to: tsfarm.domain.com(yes, public a-record which resolves to two internal adresses) This is because, we're using a wilcard *.domain.com as SSL certificate.
But, when i'm using this, our clients sometimes get double auth when they login. I only get the double auth when tsfarm.domain.com resolves to server A, but the session broker wants the user to be on server B.(load balancing)
This does not occur when SSL is enforced, any ideas?

Configuring group policy for user profiles in Windows Server 2012 R2 Domain

Requesting some experts advise on configuring group policy for user profiles.
We will be building new Windows Server 2012 R2 Domain Controllers (Domain of 400 users).
The settings which I am concerned:
1. Folder Redirection: Desktop, Documents, Favorites.
2. Quota for Folder Redirection - 1 GB per user.
3. Map a networked drive - 1 GB per user.
4. Roaming profile - (Will ignore if it does not suit our requirement).
The question is how outlook profile will be retained / automatically moved if the users move from once computer to other?
FYI, E-mails hosted on MS Office365 and OST file size of few users more than 25GB. So, in case the user moves from one computer to other, the entire mailbox will be downloaded via internet. This consumes high bandwidth if more than 3-4 users shift per day.
Thanks a lot for your valuable time and efforts.

Hi,
>>The question is how outlook profile will be retained / automatically moved if the users move from once computer to other?
This depends on where our outlook data files are stored. If these data files are stored under
drive:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local, then these files can’t be redirected, for folder redirection can’t redirect appdata local or locallow.
However, regarding your question, we can refer to the following thread to find the solution.
Roam outlook profiles without roaming profiles

In addition, regarding how to configure folder redirection, the following article can be referred to for more information.

Group Policy - Computer Startup Scripts - Add/Set Default printer

Good Morning.
Let's say we have 2 offices, A and B, and only 1 user. The user is using Roaming Profiles. Each office has its own printer.
What I am trying to do, is make a Startup script that is specific to the COMPUTER being logged into so when any user logs into that computer, they get the printer in that office defined and set as default.
I am able to do this successfully with my script but ONLY if i have the script be on the USER side of GP (i.e. in the Logon script section)
That is great that that is working however, when my user goes to Office B, they still get mapped to Office A's printer if I use that method.
So I figured I could just modify my GP and run the same script from the STARTUP section of the computer, rather than the LOGON section of the user. It does not work.
Here is my script:
Set WRFCUNetwork = CreateObject("Wscript.Network")
PrinterPath = "\\fileserver\MAINTELLER"
PrinterDriver = "PrinterDriver"
WRFCUNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection PrinterPath, PrinterDriver
WRFCUNetwork.SetDefaultPrinter "\\fileserver\MAINTELLER"
This is where I Have the script placed:
     Computer Configuration -> Windows Settings -> Scripts(Startup/Shutdown)
Once i'm in there, I double click Startup, click Add, and select my script which is named:
     MainPrinterSetup.vbs
I have this GP applied to ONE OU, and that OU has ONE computer in it (my test computer)
I login with a brand new user called "testuser" (creative, huh?) and basically nothing happens
except they log in and have some Microsoft Document Image Writer printer set as default (which by the way sure does slow the PC down to the point of it almost being broke if anyone actually tries to print to that by accident)
No Main Teller Printer, no anything.
The strangest part about this is, if i apply this script to the user LOGON scripts, it works fine, the printer is there, and is set as default. (but see above why that wont work for my situation)
So obviously the script works fine, but I guess i'm missing something when it comes to applying GP's to Computers rather than Users.
Can anyone shed some light as to why the script is not running (i'm guessing the script isn't even attempting to run, rather than failing, but i have no way to know that)
Thank you in advance!!
Derek Conlon

EDIT: Here are the PC's info that i'm working on:
     Server: Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition (where my GP's are created and managed with AD)
     Target PC: Windows XP Professional SP3
EDIT #2: I manually navigated to the Script file after logging in and "opened" it and it added and set the default printer no problem. the issue is definately with the script running at startup.

I wanted to clarify a few things:
1. While it is true that printer connections are usually per user, it is definitely possible to create "global printers". There are a number of ways to do this, but two methods that come to mind are using:
a. "Rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry" option with the "/ga" switch. The "/ga" switch is the key here since it allows you to deploy printers "per machine" instead of "per user". More information
about this is available at:
http://members.shaw.ca/bsanders/NetPrinterAllUsers.htm
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee624057%28WS.10%29.aspx
http://www.computerperformance.co.uk/Logon/logon_printer_computer.htm
http://www.robvanderwoude.com/2kprintcontrol.php
b. The Print Management console that is available in Windows 2003 R2 and higher can help you deploy printers "per machine" in addition to "per user". More information about this is available at:
http://www.czsolution.com/print-management/print-management/print-management-console.htm#DeployingPrintersByGroupPolicy
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753109%28WS.10%29.aspx
2. As Guy mentioned, Group Policy Preferences can help set the default printer. But there is another way to accomplish this. The problem with the computer startup portion is that it runs before the user logs in. And applying this script
in the login script section would not work per computer unless you used loopback processing. So another way to do this is to place a script that sets the default printer into the "All Users" startup folder. Items in the "All Users"
startup folder run for any user that logs into the computer, but it runs in the user's context. So, this script would effectively set the default printer on a "per machine" basis. The script method is a cruder way to approach the problem,
but it will help get the job done. Here are some resources on setting the default printer via script:

Acrobat 9 Reader with Windows 2008 Terminal Server

I am setting up a Windows 2008 Terminal Server and i need to have the Adobe Acrobat Reader installed. I downloaded and installed the Vista version and it worked from the console but when i try to access it via a terminal server session the application just crashes. If i try and run it as administrator in the same terminal server session it launches fine.
Any suggestions????

Make Certain that you Had the Server In "TS-Install" Mode When you Installed Acrobat. It Is In your Control Panel. I Have Pasted the MS Help File Below.
Install Programs on a Terminal Server
You should install the Terminal Server role service on the computer before you install any programs that you want to make available to users. If you install the Terminal Server role service on a computer that already has programs installed, some of the existing programs may not work correctly in a multiple user environment. Uninstalling and then reinstalling the affected programs may resolve these issues.
To ensure that an application is installed correctly to work in a multiple user environment, you must put the terminal server into a special installation mode before you install the application on the terminal server. This special installation mode ensures that the correct registry entries and .ini files that are needed to support running the application in a multiple user environment are created during the installation process.
You can put a terminal server into this special installation mode by using either of the following:
Install Application on Terminal Server tool under Programs in Control Panel. This tool will run a wizard to help install the application.
Change user /install command at a command prompt. You will have to start the installation of the application manually.
After the application is installed, you must put the terminal server into execution mode before remote users begin using the application. The Install Application on Terminal Server tool will automatically put the terminal server into execution mode when it is finished running. To put the terminal server into execution mode from a command prompt, use the change user /execute command.
Additional considerations
Some programs may require minor setup modifications to run correctly on a terminal server.
If you have programs that are related to each other or have dependencies on each other, you should install the programs on the same terminal server. For example, you should install Microsoft Office as a suite on the same terminal server instead of installing individual Office programs on separate terminal servers.
You should consider installing individual programs on separate terminal servers in the following circumstances:
The program has compatibility issues that may affect other programs.
A single program and the number of associated users may fill server capacity.
For more information about the change user command-line tool, see the Terminal Services Command Reference (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=89674).
For more information about deploying programs on a terminal server, see the Terminal Server page on the Windows Server 2008 TechCenter (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=79608).

Cannot install Office 2010 on Windows Server 2008 terminal server

Hello
I have a Windows 2008 terminal server which has Office 2007 Professional Plus on it. We want to upgrade it to Office 2010 Professional Plus.
Following steps from Technet, I made sure all users were out of the terminal server, then selected "Install Application on Terminal Server", then ran the setup.exe file for Office 2010.
The splash screen comes up for Office 2010 but then disappears and the install does not progress, although the setup.exe is still running in Task Manager. The "install Application on Terminal Server" window is still open, waiting for me to click
Next, Finish or Cancel and nothing else happens.
I also tried putting the server into install mode from command prompt and rebooting the server and re-attempting but no good.
How can I go about troubleshooting this issue?
Many thanks
Luke Dunster

Hi Luke,
Are you using a volume license version of Office 2010 for Remote Desktop Services/Terminal
Services? I may be wrong but I think that only this version of Office 2010 will work on a Terminal
Server. The Retail Version will just not work in this case.
I had similar problem where I tried to upgrade from Office 2007 to Office 2010 on a Terminal Server (Windows
2008) but wasn't successful with the upgrade/installation.
Also take a look at this post:

Windows 2008 Terminal Server issue after swapping modem/router

Hi, I have a problem I just can't crack.
Windows 2008 Terminal Server, all patched and up to date. The IP Address is 192.168.1.11 (on a teamed intel controller). Terminal services enabled and working ok.
TP-Link Modem 192.168.1.1, RDP Port forwarded ok.
Set the Windows gateway to 192.168.1.1 and external access to RDP is not a problem.
We had some modem speed issues, so we got a much faster connection, but it can't be used for incoming RDP, so left the TP-Link in place. So added a 3G modem at 192.168.1.5 and set that as the gateway.
External RDP access still works perfectly, and now users have much faster internet.
The TP-Link is giving some reliability issues, so I swapped it over for another modem, a Billion modem. Same 192.168.1.1 IP address, same port forwarding. External RDP access is no longer possible.
Swap back to the TP-Link and everything is fine. Test the modem on another site, everything works as expected.
If I set the gateway on the terminal server to 192.168.1.1 with the Billion attached then external RDP access is no problem. If I set it to 192.168.1.5 then it stops working again.
I tried with a new TP-Link modem of the same model with exactly the same settings and this also had the same problem. External RDP access will only work the existing TP-Link modem, which is a problem as the modem appears to be faulty.
It's almost like it hasn't worked out that it's a new network, and when Windows does that it seems to lock down RDP. That is only my assumption from experience of moving computers to new networks and RDP won't work until windows prompts you with the new
network screen to select home, office or public.
Has anyone experienced anything like this before or can shed some light on the problem?
Thanks.

Cannot find m1212nf multifunction printer driver to install on w/2008 terminal server (64bit).

Cannot find m1212nf multifunction printer driver to install on w/2008 terminal server (64bit). The existing driver wants me to connect the printer using USB. The printer is in another facility I am trying to support.

Hi,
The HP M1212nf used the Host-Based printing language, such printing language is not recommended Citrix or Terminal Services envoirnment and not officially supported.. you may try using the Citrix UPD on the server by installing the basic driver for yor printer on the client:

(ii) HP does not recommend installing these host-based LaserJet drivers on the Citrix server; however, the devices may function by using the Citrix UPD on the Citrix server with the HP host-based driver installed on the client. Print drivers for your product may be available within the Windows 7 operating system.
