Installing additinal cals in existing 2008 R2 terminal server.

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Based on your description, it seems that you already have RDS License server & RDS per User CAL installed on server 2008 R2. And now you want to add other RDS User CAL. For this you can follow the same procedure when you add the CAL. Also suggest you to
contact MS Clearing house and explain him the whole scenario that you want to add the CAL to your existing environment and they will help you to achieve your goal.
Locate the Microsoft Clearinghouse Telephone Number for Your Country or Region

How to add Windows 2012 R2 RDS to Existing Windows 2008 R2 Terminal Server

I currently have a Windows 2008 R2 Terminal Server running and I am looking to add a Windows Server 2012 R2 server to it. All I see when I google the setup is only for Windows Server 2012 R2 RDS, cant find anything to integrate with a current 2008 R2 Terminal
Server.
Can anyone help with this or point me to a blog I possibly missed?
Thanks.

Hi,
Thanks for your comment.
Yeah, agree with diramoh; as already commented. If you want user session from RDS Server 2012 R2 then you need to install RDS License role on server 2012 R2, purchase and install RDS CAL (per user or per device) according your requirement and then you
can use user session for server 2012 R2 and also for lower version.
But as you already have Server 2008 R2 RDS CAL, then with that you can simply access lower version but can’t manage Server 2012\R2.
For more information, you can refer following document.

Hope it helps!

Windows Search Service failing to install on Windows Server 2008 R2 Terminal Server

Hi,
I am unable to install the Windows Search Service on a Server 2008 R2 Terminal Server. I want to install this to enable indexing options within Outlook 2013 for all users.
Server Manager > Add Roles > File Services > Select only Windows Search Service > Install.
The error I receive: "Attempt to configure Windows Search Service failed with error code 0x80070057. The parameter is incorrect."
Thanks,
Bjorn

Hi,
I did the test and could install the Windows Search Service without problem.
Which role did you installed on the terminal server?
Did you try to install it on another windows server?

Windows Server 2008 R2 Terminal Server and Outlook 2013 Profile

Really hoping someone can offer some advice on this one as I have wasted far to many cycles trying to figure this out.
Company I work for recent purchased another company and we are in the process of bringing them into our network. They currently run a a 2008 R2 terminal server where all users connect to for there day to day work. A number of applications
are installed including Office 2013.
All users have Outlook 2013 configured to access their exchange server for email and this works fine.
The first step in bringing them into our fold is to add an email account for Our Exchange server without removing their existing exchange configuration or Outlook Profile. So the one profile will have both exchange accounts listed and they can
continue to get email from their server but as well email from our domain.
I created a MSP file and tested pushing this out using PDQ Deploy to a few workstations here in our office and it works fine. I then started to work on deploying in their environment. PDQ Deploy will not work as they are all terminal Services
Clients. So I tried to push out via GPO. I created the GPO Initially wanting to use a package and apply that GPO to an AD group. However it will not let me deploy a MST as a package. So I then tried moving it to a script that would
run at logon. That too is not working.
I know I could enter install mode then run the MSIEXEC.EXE \config.MSP but that takes away the ability to control the role out.
Any other ideas on how to get this done.

Hi,
Your issue seems to be out of the scope of this forum. We only focus on issue about RDS/VDI deployment, management and operations. For Oultook related issue you can ask to our MS Office Forum:

Windows 2008 R2 Terminal Server.

Hi,
I was wondering about running Adobe Acrobat Std X (10) on a Windows 2008 R2 Terminal Server for two users. Anyone else that have any experience with this? Best solution?
Best regards
Vegard

Although Server 2008 R2 is a supported install platform, you'll have to be extremely careful about licensing - Acrobat is not a server product, so the only person who would be legally permitted to connect to it would be the one who owns the copy of Acrobat in question. Sharing a copy between multiple users is not an option; for that there are dedicated server-based solutions such as LiveCycle.

No Default Mail Client Error with Outlook 2010, Server 2008 R2 Terminal Server, and TAM

We are running a software package on a Windows 2008 R2 Terminal Server called TAM (The Agency Manager) along with Outlook 2010. The application uses a MAPI connection to retrieve mail data from Outlook to be able to send and receive messages inside
the application. On our individual PC's this works just fine, but on the Terminal Server users we get the message "Either there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request. Please run Microsoft Outlook
and set it as the default mail client."
I've tried the steps listed in KB 813745 which tells you to delete the registry keys and run a repair in Office, but that didn't resolve the issue. I've searched on this issue, but haven't found anything useful. Any suggestions would be much
appreciated.

Try to set DEP and add outlook.exe. I had outlook 2007 same problem. With DEP enabled and outlook, word en excel also added to the list it worked again.
You can find it under this computer, properties, then change settings. Click advanced tab and then select the first "settings" option.The click the "Data Execution Prevention" (DEP) and select the last option and add the office programs
there.
Hope this helps.

Installing Acrobat Pro 9.2 in a Terminal Server Environment

Hi everyone,
we're facing massive problems in our attempts to install Acrobat Pro 9.2 in a terminal server environment. It seems to be impossible to convert for example a .doc-file into a pdf via the adobe pdf-printer using a restricted user-account. It causes an "Access denied"-popup. We solved this subproblem by granting the user write-permission in the respective registry-key (HKLM\Software\Adobe). By now everytime we try, the application freezes after the "copy-status-bar" is filled. Using a power user instead of a normal user solves this problem. So the question is what's the relevant difference between the rights of those user groups.
Thanks for your help!

You can also try to update your Acrobat by applying patches one by one.
to update upto latest version of Acrobat i.e 9.5, you need to apply the following updates
9.3.0   download location: < http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4605 >
9.3.2   download location < http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4654 >
9.3.3   download location < http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4695 >
9.4      download location < http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4851 >
9.4.2   download location < http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4931 >
9.4.5   download location < http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5118 >
9.4.6   download location < http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5237 >
9.5     download location < http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5330 >
You can download the above mentioned patches from the corrosponding download link and apply one by one in same order as mentioned above.
This is a bit lengthy process, but I hope you will be able to update your Acrobat.
Thanks.

Word 2010 - "Connecting to printer" message when opening documents at Server 2008 R2 Terminal server

Our users experience sometimes the message "connecting to printer" while they open a document in Word 2010 (32-bit) on our Server 2008 R2 Terminal Server. This is behavior
isn't consequent but random. The default printer in this environment is a Net2Printer-printerdriver (1.16) which redirects the print jobs (in PDF-format) to the local client's default printer. This feature works well. We don't want to change the default printer
because this is the right one to use by our users.
After a long seeking trip on the internet I've found the Microsoft hotfix KB974991 which can fix this issue for Word 2007. My question is, is this also usable for Word
2010 (32-bit) and if not, is there maybe another fix for the 2010 version available?
Any other suggestions or workarounds are welcome!

Hi,
Please change following options test if it works:
Ÿ
Print proofs quickly
Enable the Draft output option. When you use this option, the document prints with minimal formatting. Therefore, the document
may print faster. This option is ideal for printing proofs.
To enable the Draft output option, follow these steps.
Note Some printers may not support this option.
Start Word.
Click File, and then click
Word Options.
In the Word Options dialog box, click Advanced, and then scroll down to the Printing
section.
Click to select the Use draft quality check box, and then click OK.
Ÿ
Use the background printing option that best fits your requirements
When background printing is enabled, you can continue to work in Word while your document prints in the background. Background printing uses additional
memory, and your document may print more slowly.
When background printing is disabled, your document prints faster. However you cannot work in Word until the print job is completed. If you do not have
to continue to work in Word while your document prints, disable background printing to speed up printing.
To do this, follow these steps:
Start Word.
Click File, and then click
Word Options.
In the Word Options dialog box, click Advanced, and then scroll down to the Printing
section.
Click to clear the Print in background check box, and then click OK.

Installing Adobe Acrobat 9.0 on a windows 2008 R2 terminal server

We have had Adobe Acrobat 9.0 with our volume license installed on a Windows Server 2008 r2 acting as a terminal server and when clients remote into the server they cannot create pdf's. The box is also a domain controller which is not suggested by microsoft but we inherited it like this. I have tried uninstalling the product and reinstalling it. I ran all updates and still did not work. I also removed everything and then re-installed Adobe Acrobat 9.0 using the "Install Application on Remote Desktop Server" and that did not work (it actually assigned the printer port to a COMM Port instead of the Documents\*.pdf normal port)
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hi bestteksupport1,
Please check if you meet the system requirements : http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/system-requirements-acrobat-family-produ cts.html#id_69342
Acrobat 9 has compatibility issues with 2008 R2 Server.
Support on 2008 R2 has been implemented from Acrobat 10.

2008 SR2 Terminal Server

We are currently converting from Quark 8.5 to In-Design CS5.5 volume license,. We have terminal servers a farm of 10. I installed In-Design CS5.5 on one of our terminal servers as a testing base. Had about 4 users remote into the terminal server, and launch In-Design CS5.5, they all started to compliant after a ten minute delay on startup that the application was taking extremely slow, in looking at the CPU it was at 100%, this is running 8GB of RAM, once In-Design CS5.5 was launched the CPU was at a normal rate, then had two additional user launch In-Design CS5.5 and again the CPU got to 100% to the point where all other 4 users went to a craw for about 8-10min till the 2 other users got In-Design CS5.5 up and running.
I have read that giving full privileges to:
C:\Program Files\Adobe 2. C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe
Gave users local admin privilages
and that did not help, I have spent countless hours trying to figure out why In-Design CS5.5 goes to a craw at start up, no matter how may plug ins I remove it sticks to 100%. I also did a registry key to disable to CSLive and no help.
I was hoping that someone out there has a similar environment as we do and could shed some advice:
Terminal server specs are:
Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise
Processor 2.40Ghz (2 processors)
Ram-8gb
Systems Type 64bit OS

Are you able to create a new report and select "a" printer?
If yes and you use the same printer in the existing report, can you print?

Server 2008 R2 Terminal Server c0000005 and c0000006 errors with KERNELBASE.dll error in RDP sessions.

We installed a new Server 2008 R2 server this spring. It is configured as a Terminal Server with 16 Wyse t10 thin clients connecting with RDP. We are a small resort so we run Springer Miller Host and SpaSoft. Ever since moving from PCs to the thin clients
and TS we have been seeing SpaSoft randomly crash with KERNELBASE.dll errors and also a lot of c0000005 and c0000006 errors. Springer Miller support says its a Microsoft Networking issue so no help there. The company we worked with to install this has no clue
so I hope to reach out to this community to solve this. I can also open support case with Microsoft Support but I am not sure if they will be of any help. Here are some examples of the errors:
"Event 1000

There are no network specific errors in any of the logs. I am thinking that SpaSoft needs to be run as an administrator but I am not sure how to do that in this environment. We have disabled DEP for all but essential Windows processes. All of the firewall
and AV has been completely disabled, and still getting these errors. Is there a way to run these applications as admin without the user actually being an admin? Should I go ahead and open a Microsoft support case? Thanks

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Explanation
The indicated program stopped unexpectedly. The message contains details on which program and module stopped. A matching event with Event ID 1001 might also appear in the event log. This matching event displays information about the specific error that occurred.
User Action
If an error report was generated for this error, you might be able to obtain more information about the error by sending the report to Microsoft for analysis.
Yeah, you can open a support case with Microsoft as they will help and guide you for proper solution. You can go through

CAL Licensing For 2008 R2 Standard Server

Hi All
I am upgrading a 2003 Domain Controller with 20 CALs to a 2008 Server R2 Domain Controller that comes with 5 CALs.
Firstly, can I use the existing 20 CALs with the new 2008 R2 server?
Secondly, for the life of me I cannot find anywhere that sells Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard CAL licenses. Which I would require 15 of to match my original 20.
Any help on this subject would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks!
Ashley Colton

Hi Ashley,
For Server 2008 R2 you need 2008 or later version of CALs. You cannot use your 2003 licenses. Typically what you would do is purchase the latest license version (2012) and they will cover the previous version. Below is sample pricing
for 2012 CALs only (no Software Assurance) for Open Business licensing program:
Windows Server 2012 User CAL Open Business Part# R18-04281 $29.47
http://www.provantage.com/microsoft-r1804281~1350612209.htm
Windows Server 2012 Device CAL Open Business Part# R18-04277 $25.63
http://www.provantage.com/microsoft-r1804277~1350612599.htm
I recommend you contact a major Microsoft reseller and ask to speak to a Microsoft Volume Licensing specialist. They can help you determine the correct licensing program for you, give you correct part#s, etc.

BSOD Error Windows 2008 R2 Terminal Server

Hi guys
I have a unique issue on a Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise Terminal Server where it keeps blue screening every so often (from every 2 or 3 days to some times once a week) with the exact same BSOD error. After countless hours Googling and researching I am simply
at a dead end and desperately require some guidance if possible. I have ran malware bytes and other tools and the TS does not have any malware or viruses. I have ran a chkdsk and everything is also okay with that.
It has happened about 5 times now with the same errors every time:

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
The problem which you are facing seems to be due to ntoskrnl.exe. There might be some corruption in ntoskrnl.exe file.It’s responsible for various system services such as hardware virtualization, process and memory management, thus making it a fundamental part
of the system. It contains the cache manager, the executive, the kernel, the security reference monitor, the memory manager, and the scheduler.
Please check below articles to fix the issue of ntoskrnl.exe.

Java 1.6 u38 stopps working on Windows 2008 R2 Terminal Server

Hello,
I have got a strange behavior on our Terminal Server Farm. We have updated our Servers to Windows 2008 R2. Java 1.6 u38 runs fine, but it stops working suddenly.
Reinstall solves the Problem, but only for several hours. Then some users are not able to use Java from Internet Explorer or direct starting JNLP Applications.
Java starts, but nothing happens. You can see the Java6 Startup Windows with the dots running and thats all.
Admin Users are ables to use Java and some "normal" Users are able, too. After reinstall all user are able to use Java. Next day all servers from our RDS Farm are falling out again.
No eventlog entries or anti-virus entires are present.
Does anybody have an idea whats going on here?
best regards,
Björn

Time Zone Redirect Doesn't work on Windows 2008 R2 Terminal Server

Hello All,
A client has two Windows 2003 and two Win 2008 R2 Terminal servers.
When users from a different time zone login to the Win 2003 server, the time zone of the server changes to reflect their own time zone.　 However when they login to the Win 2008 R2 servers, the time zone on the server doesn’t change.
I already enabled the "Allow time zone redirection" on both Win 2008 R2 Terminal Servers in :
Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Terminal Services\Terminal Server\Device and Resource Redirection
Yet when the clients login to the 2008 server and checks the time on the server, it still shows local/server time and not their own time zone.
Any input will be appreciated.
