Hide Windows Updates reminders from users on Terminal server sessions

Windows 2008 Server - Users of the terminal server are getting reminders popping up on their sessions every 4 hours with a prompt to restart and update now, or postpone until later. How can I stop them from seeing these messages?

I would suggest that you create a GPO for your users, possiblty a loopback as its  a TS but your choice,  and include the following settings.
Computer Configuration – Policies – Administrative Template –Windows Components – Windows Update
Configure Automatic Updates: Enabled;
Allow non-administrators to receive update notifications: Disable;

  • Hide "Windows Updates Available" from domain users

    Hi,
    We're running 4 RDS 2012 servers in a load-balance pool. 
    All 4 servers have been scheduled to download and install updates at specific intervals (nightly) + reboot as well.
    I've noticed however that regular domain users also get the notification that there are "updates available" right after they log on. And they are given the option to install them. 
    Is there a way to hide/disable this notification window from domain users ?
    Kind Regards, Vincent

    In Group Policy Object Editor, expand Computer Configuration, expand
    Administrative Templates, expand Windows Components, and then click
    Windows Update.
    In the details pane, click Allow non-administrators to receive update notifications, and set this option.
    Click OK.

  • Flash Player hangs users entire Terminal server session

    Hi all, Firstly many thanks for reading this.
    We're running Windows Terminal Server 2008 r2 using Flash Player 11.1.102.62
    Whenever one of our users hits a flash enabled site they experience heavy session lags and even sometimes cause the session to hang until the server times out the session via group policy. This is regardless of the size of the Flash content being played (full screen content or a little ad in the corner).
    To give an Idea of the layout, the Terminal Server is situated locally to the clients (not at a remote location) which eliminates it being a broadband issue for the clients. The Terminal server is a fresh install with a single install of flash( Flash 11.1.102.62 64-bit)
    I've read through the administration guide and created a mms.cfg file. Presently it has the following entries:
    AutoUpdateDisable = 1
    FullScreenDisable = 1
    OverrideGPUValidation = 0 (this was previously set to 1 to see if it would increase performance but it didnt.)
    I dont see any options in the guide to tweak performance as such - just security related. Are there any other references to values that can be changed to increase performance?
    Any thoughts/insights would be greatly appreciated as this is causing a real headache.
    Kind Regards,
    Jon

  • Windows Terminal Server Session Directory

    Anybody know when Session Directory will be supported?
    We have a TS farm that uses session directory. Our Sun Rays with uttsc work fine and will redirect the users to their active session.
    No such luck with SGD pointed at the farm. The user will open a new session and not get redirected to their existing session.
    As one can imagine, this causes all sorts of problems when users leave their desks and then go home and can no longer access their existing session on the terminal server.

    Currently SGD does not support the Terminal Server Session Directory. It is however on the roadmap of SGD, but I don't know if it will be in the next release yet.

  • Terminal Server Session Management: why do we need a rdp session to take control of a terminal session?

    Hi all,
    As title, I have this question: why do we need a rdp session to take remote control of a terminal server session?
    I copied tsadmin and related file to a windows 8.1 pc and I'm able to see for every terminal server the list of users logged in, but the option "take control" is greyed out... why? is not possible to avoid this block?
    Thanks in advance
    Davide

    Hello, Davide_ita.
    Also tried to use RDSM to "Remote Control" user's sessions, but in this thread
    Remote Control
    with Remote Desktop Services Manager - error Access is denied (Windows Server 2012 R2)
    I get the recommendation to use RDP or Remote Assistance.
    The quote of
    TP []:
    Hi,
    You cannot remote control a session on a 2012 R2 RDSH server using Remote Desktop Services Manager.  You need to use the RDP 8.1 mstsc.exe or the RDS gui in Server Manager on 2012 R2.  The command you would use with the RDP 8.1 client would be
    this:
    mstsc /shadow:<sessionid> /control

  • Seeking Windows Update PowerShell Module user experience concerning failure to reboot automatically.

    I am currently using  Windows Update PowerShell Module to updates several machines. I notice that on identically configured windows 2003 and windows 2008 servers some nodes do not reboot on their own and wait for a user confirmation. This keeps them from finishing their update cycle and requires manual intervention. This happens even if no user is logged on.
    Is there a way to get reliable reboots upon reaching conclusion of a patch cycle? I notice that on windows 8 and windows 2012 there is additional support to force reboot http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2835627/en-usBut we have a lot of older platforms (thousands) and I am frustrated that I can't determine why some nodes do not complete their patch cycle by rebooting on their own while other identically built nodes do so.
    Thanks.
    Gautam

    some nodes do not reboot on their own and wait for a user confirmation.
    This happens even if no user is logged on.
    This is technologically impossible, so we need to find out what else is going on in this scenario. For starters, you'll need to show us the WindowsUpdate.log entries where this update was installed and the system restarted.

  • Has the latest Windows Update caused your users issues?

    Are the prompts you're referring to related to UAC? If so, that can be adjusted. Anyways, I haven't had a single issue with any of the machines that have been updated this week. This goes for Win 8.1 and Win 7 machines. :)

    Since Wednesday I've had 3 different Remote Salesmen (Surface Pro 2 users) report that their computers have either crashed or have been giving annoying prompts for any program they've tried to run. Probably not related but a Windows 7 Pro user randomly mentioned that their USB ports stopped working after an update. On the Surface users I noticed each had a Windows Update installed on 7/14.
    Has anyone experienced an uptick in Surface tablets or Windows 7 Pro workstations since the latest Windows update?

  • Terminal Server Session Freezes/Hangs

    Hi,
    Just a little background info, I have a terminal server farm running Windows 2003 R2 Enterprise behind a hardware load balancer and I am utilizing the session directory service.
    The issue I am running into is users’ terminal sessions will freeze up when they reconnect to their existing session. There are two scenarios that this happens. When a user moves from one desk to another and they log into the terminal server and reconnect
    to their session or after a period of inactivity their session will lock them out and then they log in. All the user gets is usually only a partial display or just the desktop backgroup and the session doesn't respond. I used to just kill their session and
    have them log back in but now I have narrowed it down to the OUTLOOK.EXE process. If I log into the server they are on and kill their Outlook process their session starts to respond. I have noticed that Outlook will be utilizing 2% to 10% CPU when it is occurring.
    We are running Office 2010. It seems to be random and very frustrating.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Thanks for your posting.
    According to your issue, I can let you know some solutions but before that want information from your side.
    a. How many clients are logged in TS session at a time?
    b. Have you tried by disabling Offloads?
       Information regarding Offloads:
       http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/951037
    c. You check the performance of your server by using Performance Monitor tools and can capture logs.
       http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc749115.aspx
    Please install the required hotfixes available for the issue.
    1. Terminal Server and connected Terminal Services clients pause when a Terminal Services client logs on or logs off (KB 324446):
       http://support.microsoft.com/kb/324446
    2. A Windows Server 2003-based or Windows Server 2008-based terminal server stops accepting new connections, and existing connections stop responding (KB 956438):

  • 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

    you may want to consider upgrading your old 2003 terminal server environment to 2008 though.

  • DLU / app, windows updates / local standard user

    We're having issues with our users not being able to update apps (patches, etc.) due to being regular user for the local profile. Our config is as follows:
    - Zen11 SP1
    - eDir auth
    - Windows XP/Win7 PCs
    - Novell client
    - Most users are set to 'user' for local profile
    - Most users have their own machine
    Is there a way to get these updates (Acrobat, Windows, Java, etc.) installed without the user entering in an 'admin' password?

    Flash Player can update silently since version 11.2. It is working ok. Quarterly Updates will install after 30 days. Critical Fixes will be faster: There was the issue with Flash Player and Mozilla in June and i have seen the 11.3.300.262 update installing around 21 of june for the Plugin and not ActiveX.
    Mozilla announced Silent updates. But its still not working for standard Users. Currently it only prevents the UAC Prompt for Admin Users.
    So we still have to update Adobe Reader, JRE, Mozilla

    How that is done is unique to each app.
    They often put some type of app in on of the Run Keys or Startup folder
    than needs to be removed so they stop trying to do it themselves, which
    is bad because generally they can't for a number of reasons ranging from
    lack of user rights to proxy/internet access issues from a corporate site.

  • Acrobat Pro 9- turn of update for all users in terminal environment

    I have Adobe Pro 9 installed on several terminal servers. Everytime users login they are seeing an insufficient rights for updating Adobe. I don't want to give them rights but the Configuration Wizard isn't out yet. The sales department conveniently forgot to tell me it wasn't out but sold me on the fact it would fix some of our headaches. I need some kind of fix please.

    Hi eman_32,
    You've posted in the AIR forum.  Would you mind reposting this over on the Acrobat forums?

  • Update infotype from user exit

    Hi,
    My requirement is to update a infotype from a user exit. I have a internal table with some records created in the user exit pbas0001. Now i need to update these records in the infotype 2001(absences). I tried using HR
    INFOTYPEOPERATIONS directly from the user exit and it didn't work. If i create a include program and create a subroutine within the include program and call it in the user exit still i am getting a error message. How can update the infotype from the user exit.
    Can someone send the example code for how to export the internal table from the user exit and import it in another program and update the infotype from that prgm.

    Put the entire code in another Report & SUBMIT that report from the User exit.. this will isolate the two work processes & the Z table should get updated..

  • Update Formulas from user entries

    I'm creating an app for the IPad and want to create a model that generates numbers based on user inputs. I'm trying to get an editable formula that when you enter a number it updates another field. Formula will involve IF statements based on text they enter that will then do basic math functions (similar to formulas you would find in an excel sheet). I have some experience in coding, so if I had a way to code a text button it would be great, but haven't found a way yet. I'm working in Indesign CC 2014 and am admittedly fairly new to the software (have worked in Illustrator in the past). Any and all help would be much appreciated.

    Are you sure Indesign is the right tool for it? I doubt that. I'd rather use Flash or an app building kit.

  • How can I get  the iPhone Calendar to update reminders from Outlook?

    I have an iPhone 2g v2.0.2 with an Exchange account through work. Everything works flawlessly except one annoying problem: The iPhone calendar does not seem to recognize that I have dismissed or changed a reminder time in Outlook.
    Example: A reminder alert appears on my computer (Windows XP/Outlook 2007/Kerio mail server). I will "Dismiss" the alert only to have it pop up again 10 seconds later presumably because my iPhone didn't get the dismissed reminder message, then syncs back to Outlook that the reminder is still active. I have even opened the item in Outlook, changed or canceled the reminder, saved the item, only to have it pop up again seconds later after the iphone reverts to the original reminder.
    The only way I have found to stop this cycle is to open the item on the iPhone calendar and cancel the reminder.
    Any ideas on how to solve this would be appreciated.
    thanks

    Just so that you know you're not alone, I have a couple clients experiencing the same problem. Have yet to come up with a solution outside of what you've mentioned. Wish I had more to add to the topic.
