Multiple RDS Device CALs Issued through Windows 2003 RDS Hosts

Environment
Windows 2012 R2 RDS license server issuing device CALs
5 Citrix farms (PS4, PS4.5, XA5, XA6, and XA6.5)
Symptoms
- RDS device CALs issued through the PS4/Windows 2003 R2 and PS4.5/Windows 2003 R2 servers show the Citrix server name in the Window 2012 R2 RD license manager console instead of the workstation name (See below).
- The PS4/Windows 2003 R2 and PS4.5/Windows 2003 R2 servers are issuing a large number of device CALs to workstations. For example, we have two PS4/Windows 2003 R2 servers that publish a single application. There are 20 users
of the applications with dedicated workstations that should all have a device CAL, but everyday I see device CALs being issued from these servers (See below).
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi Scott,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Have you find any Error\Event Id for this case?
From the description it appears that there is some misconfiguration for redirecting the server during load balancing the device CAL among the server and that’s why device is getting misplaced. You can please relook at configuration for License server with following
article.

Essbase 11.1.1.3 Perormance Issue on windows 2003 64bit

When I run a calculation script on the essbase 11.1.1.3 which installed on windows 2003 64bit, it takes me 100 seconds to finish it. But when I run the same calculation script with the same data, same database OTL and same database configuration on essbase 9.3.1 which installed on window 2003 32 bit, it only takes me 50 seconds to finish it. It means essbase 11.1.1.3 have some Perormance Issue on windows 2003 64bit? or can anybody help me to make the essbase 11.1.1.3 intalled on windows 2003 64bit as fast as the essbase 9.3.1 installed on window 2003 32 bit?

If you set all of the configurations the same as your 32-bit server, you may not be properly optimized. There are a couple of ODTUG Kaleidoscope presentations that talk about 64-bit optimization:

You have to be at least a (free) Associate Member of ODTUG to download these presentations but, if you are serious about Essbase, you should be a (full) ODTUG member anyway.

MAC (10.6.8) users having permission issues with windows 2003 AD and NetApp SAN environment.

I have created a cifs share that is being accessed by Mac users that are part of a windows 2003 AD. When the user edit data and save it back to the share, the security permission are reset and none of the other users can see the new data unless the permissions are refreshed on the windows server. I have found following links that talk about a similar issue but with an older MAC OS. I am using 10.6.8.

This is a 'known problem' as discussed on the MacWindows site, see http://www.macwindows.com/More-on-OS-X-conflicts-with-Windows-Server-Deduplicati on.html
It appears to still affect Mavericks 10.9.5 at least from the lack of any positive reports to the contrary. It is perhaps a bit late but it would have been worth signing up for the public beta of Yosemite and testing that and if needed reporting it as an issue for Yosemite as this will be getting more bug fix attention than Mavericks now.
I would agree turning off de-duplication is not a desirable solution, however other possibilities to consider are installing the standard Samba software on a Mac and using that instead of Apple's SMBx software. This is done by using the SMBup installer See http://eduo.info/2013/07/13/smbup-faq it does not officially list Mavericks but I did see at least one report that it still worked. A second possibility is to install ExtremeZ-IP which installs an AFP server on to your Windows Server and also gives the bonus of supporting Spotlight searches.
Note: You should only try SMBup on a test setup first.

Printing through Windows 2003 server

I'm the only Mac in the house and have been printing through our Windows 2003 server just fine until this week after my last Apple Update. When printing to any printer on our system, (I have reset printers with no change to results), I get a heading with my name, plus (RE: my job), and a bold underscore with the following message below the line:
%%[Error: undefined; OffendingCommand: languagelevel]%%
%%[Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ingnored]%%
This has only become a problem in the last week. I first noticed the problem on my G5, but I just plugged my Powerbook G4 into our Ethernet system with the same results.
Power Mac7,3 (G5) Mac OS X (10.4.7) Windows Server 2003

I am not aware of what drivers were used before or if there has been a change. I used the standard print utility and it identified all printers on the system and I just added them. Printing was no problem until this last week.

Installation issues on Windows 2003, Xeon processor and Oracle 9.2 (64 bit)

Hi all,
I am using a xeon 4 CPU machine with Windows 2003 (64 bit). I just downloaded Oracle 9.2 (64 bit) and found that it needs Itanium processor. Is this an absolute requirement? Can I still run it on xeon? What are the problems?

Twist - Resolved all driver, WiFi, touch screen, version and battery issues through Windows Refresh

I would like to report that I also had many of the issues mentioned in several other posts and solved them all by doing a Windows Refresh.
In particular, the following issues were resolved:
- Missing driver for WAN miniport device
- Intermittent connectivity on WiFi
- Unresponsive touch screen (charm-swipe was not working anymore)
- Version mismatch of Lenovo Settings
The computer is now absolutely stable and faster than before. Furthermore, first impressions seem to indicate that the battery life has also been significantly increased by the refresh.
What I did:
- Performed Windows 8 Refresh
- Installed all Windows updates (several rounds of updates and restarts)
- Reinstalled all non-Windows 8 applications (Windows Refresh keeps/restores only your data and Windows 8 apps)
- Performed disk cleanup (including system files) and disk optimization
The whole process took me a good half day but was well worth it. Twist runs like a charm now, without any issues.

Windows Refresh generates a detailed list of all desktop apps that were removed during refresh. That list includes links to the manufacturer of each app and makes it quite easy to reinstall them.

Voting disk issue in Windows 2003 server

I installed oracle RAC 10g with ASM on windows server 2003 R2. I was able to successfully install clusterware as well as ASM with database. Prior to the install, I ran diskpart and then set automount enable. I was able to configure the ocr, ocrmirror and votedisk without any problem. After completion of the installation and then restarting both the nodes, looking at the Disk Management from the Computer Management, my first node is showing the partition for votedisk as raw disk but on the second node, I am seeing drive letters configured for the votedisks. I ran crsctl query css votedisk on both the nodes and both the nodes are pointing to the same location, \\.\votedsk1, \\.\votedsk2 and \\.\votedsk3.
Now my question is why am I seeing the drive letter(s) (G:) for the drives that were configured to votedsk from the second node and not seeing the drive letters from the first node?
Can I change the drive letter that were configured for voting disks from the second node?
I did take a backup of the votedsk using ocopy, but can this be a valid backup if I clear the drive letter on second node and then restore from the backup? I appreciate any help to correct this problem. Thanks

I can perform delete and add another voting disk, But what about the drive letter that is showing on the second node and not on the first? Do I need to remove the drive letter showing on node 2 while the voting disk is still showing up prior to performing the delete and add of another voting disk? Thanks for your help.

Windows 2012 RDS CALs - OLP NL downgrade to Windows 2003 TS CALs

Hi,
Hope someone can shed some light on this inquiry
I plans to purchase the following:
2x Windows 2014 SQL STD 2 Core License OLP NL
30 Windows 2012 RDS CALs (User or Device) OLP NL
           Breakdown example
            Site A = 10
            Site B = 5
            Site C = 15
Existing servers are Windows 2003 R2 STD running Terminal Services
Tried setting up a Windows 2003 R2 TS Server and install TS Roles & Licensing Manager
Questions.
1. When I tried to add Windows 2003 TS CALs - OLP NL, the activation screen requires to enter the Authorization & License numbers.
Can I use the Authorization and License number of the newly purchased Windows 2012 RDS CALs on the Windows 2003 TS Server?
2. Should I get a separate Authorization & License number per site? (In the example above 3x Authorization & License numbers). Or can we use a single Authorization & License number for all sites? Each site is independent from each
other.
3. As I understand, SQL 2014 can be downgraded to any prior previous version at the same editions. (as far as SQL 2000, provided he has the installer), If client has an existing SQL 2003 STD activated already, does he need to change the license key?
Thanks,
Paul

Hi Paul,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server forum.
Yes, you can use newly purchased server 2012 RDS CAL on server 2003 terminal server.
RDS and TS CAL Interoperability Matrix
For detail regarding the licensee issue I suggest you to contact MS Volume Licensing.
As per my research, I think you don’t have to change the old license key if client already have the key. And in regards to SQL server you can have a look over beneath article.
SQL Server 2014
Hope it helps!
Thanks.

Specific Clients Taking up Multiple RDS CALs

We use per device CALs on our Windows 2012 License server. We have 150 device CALs installed. We have about 45 thin clients logging into Windows 2012 server to get to their point of sale software. Our problem here is not the thin clients taking multiple
licenses but it's the administrator's computers taking multiple licenses. I use RDC Manager to attach to the terminal servers on Windows 8. Other Admins here don't use RDC Manager, just the RDP app. They are using Windows 7. We are all getting multiple
RDP CALs assigned to them.
My computer has over 30 permanent CALs assigned to it. There are days when my computer will take up 7 or 8 licenses. I have over 100 temporary licenses assigned to my computer!!
If a user calls and their terminal is getting a license error, I can go in and revoke one of the licenses for my computer, they get logged in fine. Do a refresh of the RD License Manager and I can see the terminal that user was having license problems on
has a license from a week ago and the only new license handed out at that time is issued BACK to my computer!!!
If I install more licenses, our computers start eating them up. We had MS look into this about 2 months ago and they rebuilt the server and now we are back where we were at 2 months ago. Tried to re-contact MS on this but I have been waiting for 2 weeks
for them to call back.

Hi Danny,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
As suggested by TP earlier, have you tried to rebuild the RD License server with its database?
In addition, you can refer following article for information.
RD Licensing Configuration on Windows Server 2012
http://blogs.technet.com/b/askperf/archive/2013/09/20/rd-licensing-configuration-on-windows-server-2012.aspx
Apart suggest you to still contact MS clearing house for further help as they are best person for license related information.
Hope it helps!
Thanks.

SQL Server Management 6.5.1.0 and 6.5.4.0 does not discovery SQL 2008 databases on Windows 2003

SQL Server Management 6.5.1.0 and 6.5.4.0 does not discovery SQL 2008 databases on a custom instance name or when multiple SQL instances are installed on Windows 2003.
OS Version: Windows 2203 x64 with SP2
Database Version: 10.3.5869.0
The instance in this case: I01 is running on port 49168.
SQL Server Network Configuration | Protocols for I01 | IP Addresses | IPAll | TCP Port = 49168
The DB Engine class is discovered but not the "Tcp Port" property.
The database discovery script then fails as it is missing the 8th parameter; The Port.
Looking at the discovery script DiscoverSQL2008DBEngineDiscovery.vbs i see the following WMI query.
Set oWMI = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & computerName & "\root\Microsoft\SqlServer\" & SQL_WMI_NAMESPACE)
Set oQuery = oWMI.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM ServerNetworkProtocolProperty
Using WMI Explorer if I connect to namespace: root\Microsoft\SqlServer\ComputerManagement10
and query "SELECT * FROM ServerNetworkProtocolProperty". There are no instances.
What am I missing or doing wrong?

Windows 2003 supp

For MuVo TX FM 52mb, creative doesn't support Windows 2003. I am just wondering is there any known issue for windows 2003. if user use it to transfer files, is it gonna corrupt the mp3 player?

It shouldn't corrupt at all, because it should just detect the device as a removeable storage device. I'm sure you can drag and drop your MP3 files without any problems. I'll try it at work Monday to see if it detects as an removeable dri've. What does Windows 2003 detect your MuVo as or have you tried it yet? Good luck.

Windows 2003 and windows 7 access compability

Hi,
I am now using IBM server with windows 2003 32 bit operating system and clients are windows xp and windows 7. I want to know that if I convert all clients to windows 7. Is there any connectivity/accessing issues to server.
Is there any compability / accessing issues within windows 2003 and windows 7?
Thanks in advance

Hello,
Windows Server 2003 is going out of support 2015.
Windows 7 works together with it without problems.
If this is a domain you have to be aware that GPO settings for Windows 7 should be configured from a Windows 7 machine with RSAT installed, otherwise lot of settings are not available within Windows Server 2003.
Also you have to think about server stored profiles, if used, as the .V2 profiles are used with Windows 7 and the older profiles will not work for users logging on to the Windows 7 machines.
Maybe there is more to consider but therefore the information you have provided is too less.

Possible to point Windows 2003 server to Windows 2012 R2 WSUS?

Hello Community,
I have deployed Windows 2012 R2 WSUS in my organisation. I have no issues with Windows 7, 2008 R2 pointing to the WSUS server.
However, I am having issues pointing Windows 2003 R2 and Windows XP to the WSUS server.
On the Windows 2003 client, I have also ran wuauclt /detectnow and the GPO settings is set to:
In Windows 2008 R2, I know that I am getting updates from the WSUS because I can see the option
below (circled in red)
Questions:
1. In Windows 2003, how do I know that I am actually getting the updates from the WSUS and not from the
internet?
2. Are Windows 2003/XP clients compatible to pull updates from a Windows 2012 WSUS server?
3. If Windows 2003/XP clients are able to get updates from Windows 2012 WSUS server, how do I do it? Is
there any 'interface' for me to use?

In Windows 2003, there isnt an interface for administrators to "Check for Windows Updates managed by your system administrator" unlike in Windows 2008. (See screenshot on my first post)
In Windows 2003, I go to Tools > Windows Update and it is pointing me to microsoft's website.
Correct, In Windows 2003 you use the WUAUCLT.EXE command line utility, to perform client actions.
But that has *nothing* to do with how you *configure* the client, nor how you check the client's configuration. That is done exactly the same way regardless of which operating system is being used.
So when I say you know you're getting updates from WSUS by using the same method, that method is NOT looking at the WUApp applet in Control Panel, because that applet does NOT tell you that the client is getting updates from WSUS. It merely tells you that
some policy is in place that presumably tells the client to get updates from a WSUS server.
If you *really* want to know.... check the appropriate registry keys, or read the WindowsUpdate.log.... and that's done exactly the same way on every operating system.
