Lost ability to edit on 2003 terminal server

Not sure when exactly it happened, but for some reason the ability
for Zen to manage the desktops on 2003 terminal server is gone.
Additionally when I open console one and try to edit the policy or
even create a new one and edit the group policies, the all is
greyed out. No button available for User, security or computer
configuration. I can select the path to where the policy is or
should be created, but clicking the edit button results in the
following error:
The policy that you are attempting to edit is being edited by
another user. I'm the only admin and no one else is editing it
for certain. I get the same message if I even attempt to create a
new policy from the terminal server desktop.
Suggestions? Thanks a bunch.

  • Windows 2003 Terminal Server, ZEN 7, and WSUS

    Hi,
    We're having a problem getting a group policy to "Stick" in Windows 2003
    terminal server. The server(s) have the ZEN 7.01 agent installed per
    the TID's for a terminal server. We believe we've set all the Group
    Policies of the users that login to these systems, yet once they are
    rebooted, the WSUS update server location resets to the default
    (update.microsoft.com). This is set in gpedit in:
    \computer configuration\administrative templates\Windows
    Components\Windows Update
    Is this settable in a user package, or should this be done in a
    workstation package? If so, could we "force" the workstation package to
    override the Windows Update settings for all users, regardless of what
    user policy package they have?
    Thanks for any ideas!
    Greg

    In the Properties of the WS Group Policy, there is an option to set "Loop
    Back" so that the Computer GPO is set last.

  • I dream of running Dreamweaver on a Windows 2003 Terminal Server

    I have a "volume" license and attempted to install Dreamweaver CS4 on a Windows 2003 Terminal Server.  I get an error message right away indicating that the system does not meet the minimum install requirements, ie XP/Vista.
    Adobe volume licensing team verified that it is the correct license for installing on a terminal server, but after one hour of what would a bad nightmare with adobe "no" support (Outsourcing issue, failure to grasp and process the basic error message) I got no where and am having to resort to the forums.  I have googled on this and got no where and nothing on the search efforts on this site.
    If anyone has an idea of what is going on, bug, wrong install media, please clue me in.
    Thanks!

    pziecina
    Thanks for the information.  We do have AppV here and tried that approach.  While this gets us past the install minimum requirements, it does not resolve the issue of running of more than one instance at a time, per terminal server, even though our volume license allows for it.

  • 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

  • How to set default max cache size in win 2003 terminal server

    Hi! I have a win 2003 terminal server, with 50+ user accounts, the problem is that the cache for firefox is never cleared, how do I set a apropriate (ie 50MB) max cache size for all users? As it is today, I have certain users with several millions of cahe files, which slows everything down.
    firefox is 8.01 English version.

    Hey Macdaddy,
    This happens all the time with our server at work. The server window never opens in the same place twice, and it can be annoying.
    There are third-party window management tools out there, but what I did was use a macro program called Keyboard Maestro (since I already owned it).
    Among the many things Keyboard Maestro can do is manipulate a window. I created a macro that moves it to a specific point (in my case, the upper left corner of the screen) and then resizes it to a specific width and height in pixels. I then assigned the macro a keyboard shortcut.
    Now, when I mount the server, I can use the keyboard shortcut and the window is right where I want it.
    There are other programs that just move windows, and I tried a couple. But Keyboard Maestro is more elegant in my opinion, and it does a whole lot more if you choose to go that route.
    Hope this helps.

  • New create desktop shortcut GPO is causing 1030 and 1058 errors on a Windows 2003 terminal server

    Primary DC: Win2012.  BDC: Win2008. Clients: Win7, Win8.1.  Maintaining an old Win2003 terminal server to run legacy software.
    Everything works fine for a look time until I added a new GPO to create a desktop shortcut on the client machines, Windows 2003 runs into Error 1030 (Cannot query list of GPO) and Error 1058 (Cannot access the file gpt.ini for GPO, The system cannot find
    the path specified) GP processing aborted).
    Tried changing the GPO to target Win7 and 8.1 only.  Tried creating shortcut using Computer Config settings only as well as User Config settings only.  Deleting the GPO and creating it from scratch.  Nothing works, as soon as GPO is in place,
    it disables the Win2003 from processing any other GPO. 
    No issue with the client machines or other Windows servers. 
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    Roget Luo

    Hi Roget,
    Thanks for posting here.
    Error 1030 and 1058 could be caused by many aspects.
    Firstly, please run the command dcdiag on the command prompt of a DC to check if there are any error.
    Secondly, make sure the DFS service is started on the domain controller, and set the Startup type to automatic.
    What's more, make sure the TCP/IP Helper service  is started on the domain co, set it to Automatic and started it.

  • Problems upgrading to Flash player v11 on Windows 2003 Terminal Server

    Hello
    I am trying to upgrade several Windows 2003 32-bit terminal servers, v5.2 to Flash IE plugin version 11.1.102.63.  This has not worked on the first two servers that I tried, and subsequently I have been concentrating my testing on just one of them.  The version on the servers prior to the attempted upgrade was 10.3.181.14. 
    On each occasion that I attempt the upgrade, the executable initially runs, but then does nothing.  The running process is visible in Task Manager, using no processing resource, and around 18MB of memory.  Unless I kill the process manually, it will sit like this indefinitely.  If I attempt the install again, I get a message informing me that only one instance of the process can run.
    I have tried rebooting the server, I have tried running the install in terminal server install mode, I have tried uninstalling the previous version, I have tried re-installing the previous version (which works fine).  For some reason, this particular version will not run.
    Any suggestions as to the next step would be very gratefully received.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Cannot Install CR 2011 on Win Server 2003 Terminal Server

    I am trying to instlal BuildVersion=14.0.2.364 on a 2003 windows server and it takes hours and then stops with no error message when it is nearing completion.  Is there a proper place to post or send my install log?
    Thanks,
    Adrian

    Hi Adrian,
    If you have checked that you are meeting all of the minimum requirements in terms of OS patches, memory, hardware etc then I would suggest it's probably a good idea to log a message with SAP Support, attach the installation log and any additional information for the investigation.
    The required component would be BI-RA-CR.
    I hope this is a helpful answer to you.
    Kind regards,

  • Is SBS 2011 the right choice for replacing Server 2003 Terminal Server?

    Reading license options has done my head in so going to ask for recommendations here if SBS is best option, as every option seems to have pros/cons.
    Need to upgrade a 2003 Server which has 2 local users and average of 10 remote users (max 15 users).  They use remote desktop to connect with everything on a single server (on its last legs now).  Server acts as DC, runs SQL Server 2008 R2 Express
    (need to upgrade from Express to SQL server Std shortly due to size), Microsoft Office, Myob, and a couple of proprietary applications.
    I'm thinking SBS 2011 is best option as with premium add-on will include SQL Server licenses, so it's looking the most cost effective?
    So the questions;
    In an ideal world what would you suggest as a replacement for the current setup?  (As is, with apps installed on server and remote users using Remote Desktop, or can SBS 2011 offer better solution?)
    Can you install Microsoft Office 2003 under SBS 2011 for all users to use with existing licenses?  Cost of upgrading server and O/S will probably rule out upgrading Office as well at the moment (though that's the long term plan).
    or.. Best way of running Office and app for SQL Server on local PC's with VPN link?  (may have issues with response times for some locations).  I gather DirectAccess won't be an option as needs multiple servers and clients are Windows 7, but just
    Win 7 Pro, not Enterprise.
    Appreciate any advice....  this is for a small business with a few locations that is just getting big enough to require an upgrade, but small enough that funds as always are limited.  Realise what I'm asking about maintaining current setup using
    Remote Desktop is probably not best practice, but is it most cost effective given the small size?

    Hi:
    There is no easy answer, and a lot depends on what you do with your email.  SBS made email very easy, but without it, the decisions are harder and more costly.  O365 and other hosted email systems are low cost of entry but they add up over time. 
    Pop3 is cheap, but not very robust or convenient.
    SQL introduces another wrinkle.  SQL express is free and is good for databases up to 10 GB.  If you are well within that limit I would do that and not incur the expense of SQL Server.  If you need SQL server, the PAO is the best way to
    acquire it, but you will need a physical box to install it, unless you do Hyper V as below.
    SBS does not allow for remote access to itself to run programs.  Only for admin purposes.  Full stop.
    In an ideal world I would suggest SBS 2011 and Server 2012 running as VM's on one beefy server.  Install Server 2012 in HyperV role only, then install SBS 2011 as VM1 and Server 2012 again as VM2.  The license for Server 2012 allows 3 installs
    of the same license, one as host and two guests.  If you need a third server you can install the same copy of Server 2012 again as a second VM.  Not that all three installs must be on the same box.  This third VM could also be the Server 2008
    from the PAO, but iirc the SQL version that comes with the PAO only checks that there is a SBS in the domain, not what OS it is being installed on.
    So, for the cost of one pretty beefy server, one copy of SBS 2011, one copy of the Server 2012 and, if needed the PAO and RDS CALs and Office CALs you should be covered. 
    Don't forget a robust firewall to protect all of this.

  • Adobe Reader 9 - Runtime Error on Win Server 2003 terminal server

    One of my clients has a Citrix farm utilizing 3 Windows 2003 Servers. I have 1 user out of about 20 that receive this error message when opening up PDFs. Last week I had updated the servers from 9.1 to 9.4.5 thinking that it was just a result of an outdate or corrupted install of 9.1. User is still getting the error after update though. No other users have an issue opening PDFs. The error message looks like:
    I added the domain users group the the NTFS permissions on the root folder of user redirected folders with the "read/list folder contents", as outlined in similar articles, but this issue seems to be different because it's only 1 user getting the error. I did see something odd in the user's App Data\Adobe\Acrobat\ folder, it was missing a folder named 9.0. Almost like it didn't get installed for his profile. Anyone have any ideas?

    Oops forgot to upload pic in last post. Here is the error:

  • 2003 terminal server. Clients log in , see their desktop and then it changes to a fake windows desktop.

    I figured this was a virus or malware, and have scanned the server but have not found the virus/malware.
    Because of the delay of the fake screen popping up, I figured it was in the startup folder, but it is not.
    Malware Bytes only detected a possible threat in  a download forlder, but that was eliminated.
    Any clues where to look?

  • Lost ability to edit photos after latest update

    Hi,  I have just applied the latest update to my installation of Aperture.  Upon opening it also upgraded my library to the newer version.  Was this was completed I am able to browse and view all the photos in my library however if I try to do anything with any of them I am unable to.  For example I am unable to duplicate a photo graph as the option in the menu to do this is greyed out.  Like wise if I try to adjust the photo again all the adjustment panel options are greyed out.  This is very frustrating and any help would be much appreciated.
    Many Thanks
    BV

    You may be in "Preview" mode. Then all edits are disabled. Type "P"; that toggles quick preview mode on and off.
    Or press the "Quick Preview" icon, the "hurried rectangle" as Kirby Krieger once called it
    Or do you see broken arrows, indicating missing original master files, on your image thumbnails? In that case you need to use the "File > Locate Referenced Files" menu command to reconnect the image versions to their original (master image) files.
    Regards
    Léonie
    BTW:
    I have just applied the latest update
    I assume you are working with Aperture 3.3.1. In that case the MacOS X in your signature canot be correct.

  • Windows terminal server 2003 cluster

    We have a FOG with three Solaris 10 x86 servers, SRSS 4.2, SRWC 2.3 with the latest SRSS 4.2 patches. All Sunrays have the latest firmware.
    Kiosk settings points to a windows 2003 terminal server cluster. The two nodes in the windows cluster have latest SRWC 2.0.
    The cluster entitles, two terminal servers and a session manager server, we use roaming profiles.
    When pointing kiosk settings to the cluster FQDN the sunray sessions are routed to just one server in the windows cluster. But if we RDP to Cluster's FQDN from a regular desktop the windows cluster load balances properly.
    I do need help understanding how SRSS handles sessions? specifically if nodes are behind a cluster with session manager. Could it be that the session manager it's incompatible with SRSS in kiosk mode since it tries to route sessions at the mean time SRSS is doing the same task?
    Thanks,

    Edited by: estrar on Dec 5, 2010 5:43 PM

    Hi Estrar,
    Short answer: 2003 Session Directory does not do load balancing.
    Long answer (to the above and your other questions):
    The Sun Ray Server doesn't do anything with regards to load balancing the windows sessions. To the Sun Ray Server, or more appropriately the windows connector, it's just making the connection you tell it to.
    With regards to the windows client "working", am I correct in guessing that you ran subsequent instances of MS-RDC to "prove" that it worked?
    Most likely what happened there is that the PC, thus MS-RDC, received different IP addresses back from DNS for the FQDN with each launch. This is basically round robin, not load balancing. But I'd have to understand how you've done the FQDN of the cluster in DNS.
    The most common initial reaction is that the DNS server is setup incorrectly (I'll plead guilty that I've had the same reaction). It is true that some DNS servers can be configured will return the same IP on the first dns query. This is called a cyclic ordering and results in the IP address of the resolved name every client to be identical. For example, if a DNS server is set for cyclic ordering, every first request for the IP of server A for xyz.com will be the same on all clients. The second query from the same client should result in server B being resolved, if not, then you do have a DNS problem.. However, in the case of Sun Ray Server, the "second query from the same client" would be the second session coming up, since, as far as the DNS server is concerned, all the Sun Ray session are coming from the same client. Therefore, even with cyclic ordering, round robin should work even better in a Sun Ray environment then a "fat" client environment. You can check the documentation for specific DNS servers on how to set a random order for round robin (which should be the default), but chasing down cyclic ordering of RR entries as a cause to this "issue" is basically a red herring in a Sun Ray environment.
    More than likely the same IP being returned everytime is a side effect of the name service caching daemon (nscd). The job of nscd is to speed up name resolution. However, ncsd will break any round robin scheme as it caches the first server returned by the first query from the caller (i.e. the host doing the name lookup, aka the Sun Ray server) and all applications on the caller will use that address for the lifetime of the cache. The default lifetime of the nscd cache is 3600 seconds (an hour). To disable the name service caching daemon, run the following command on every Sun Ray server in the host group (aka FOG): svcadm disable system/name-service-cache
    An über smart colleague mentioned the possibility of another problem that could exist even if nscd is disabled and the hosts are on the same subnet as the caller . This has to do with default behavior of the Solaris resolver library putting servers that reside on the same subnet as the caller at the top of the sort order. You can read the notes in the man page for "gethostbyname" and also the man page for nss(4) for more information, but both reference how this behavior can break round robin. The fix is to edit /etc/default/nss and uncomment (or add) the statement SORT_ADDRS=FALSE
    While those two things will allow a Solaris based Sun Ray server (or any Solaris client) to properly recognize round robin entries, it still holds true that 2003 Session Directory does not do load balancing. The only role of session directory is to ensure that you don't get routed to a different terminal server in case you have an existing session on another server. Round Robin + Session Directory may be all you need, but bear in mind that it is not "load balancing". Users could still connect directly to one of the IP addresses vs the round robin DNS name and that would defeat the round robin scheme in place.
    Load balancing is a separate component in 2003, either using an external device like F5's BigIP or using Windows Network Load Balancing (NLB) service.
    The type of load balancing solution that can be used depends on what is meant when you use the term "cluster". If the cluster is a real implementation of Windows 2003 Clustering (i.e.the type of cluster you'd use for SQL, Exchange, etc) then you can't use NLB and would have to use an external load balancer. Sun Ray Windows Connector supports either IP based or token based load balancers, though we don't certify any third party products in this regard.
    "Cluster confusion" occurs because Session Directory itself is supported by Windows 2003 Clustering in order to provide a highly available directory service. Easy to see how this would be desirable with a large number of terminal servers. However, NLB does not work, nor is it supported on Windows 2003 Cluster.
    To further the confusion, when NLB is enabled on the NIC that is handling RDP traffic, one of the configuration tabs is "Cluster Parameters". But it is important to realize that this has nothing to do with Windows 2003 Clustering and is in fact incompatible with it. NLB makes use of independent servers (i.e. not clustered), which the primary requirement of those servers is that they are on the same subnet.
    Finally, it is easy to get confused between 2003 and 2008 session directory when it comes to load balancing, but they are very different. 2008 "session directory" does do load balancing. In fact, to underscore this distinction/feature, Microsoft has renamed Session Directory to TS Session Broker. (See http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc772418%28WS.10%29.aspx)
    To summarize, with Windows 2003 you have two choices when it comes to load balancing and session directory.
    1) Have a HA implementation of Session Directory and use an external load balancer
    2) Have non-HA implementation of session directory and use NLB to do load balancing.
    Good how to article on setting NLB on 2003 with terminal services here:
