Opening PDF in Browser when running in Server 2008 R2 RemoteApp (Terminal Services)

We are running a RemoteApp server that allows users to access an intranet page, through this can can click and open a number of PDF documents.
When connecting and running locally (RDP) the PDFs open in the browser as required, but when running through remoteApp its forcing the PDF to open into Adobe Reader.
Im getting this on all versions of IE 9-11 and Reader 9-11, ive enabled view in PDF and also the IE add-ons but it still forces the file to open in the full application.
Group polciy isnt an issue as Ive tested this on a live users, and also a clean slate test account. Ive even moved the RemoteApp server out of the domain and tried as a local system (with local accounts) and the same behaviour happens.
This is the same if I try and open PDF documents from the internet.
Any Advice would be good
Steve.

Hi Uber,
This is a known issue that error occurs when running report "Count of instances of specific software registered with Add or Remove Programs" due to non-printable characters for XML. Based on internal research, the hotfix for this issue will be
included in the System Center 2012 Configuration Manager Service Pack 1.
As a workaround, you can remove the nonprintable character populated into the report parameter by referring to the following KB article:
http://support.microsoft.com/KB/914159
Hope this helps.

Open PDF in browser - but cant control/close window from javascript

Hi
I hope I picked the correct forum
Basically I have a site in asp classic. From a button I opens 2
windows via javascript.
One contains info, one shows a related file ( could be tiff or pdf ).
When user closes info-window, I also close the file window via javascript, so that user only hav to click once.
That works with tiff, but not with pdf, '!file.closed' returns that window are already closed.
Somehow I simply loose contact to that window when I open pdf.
My Adobe is set with "open pdf in browser", version 10.1.2
Any Ideas ?
Overview what I do:
function openTwoWindows(jnr,vikar,hvorfra){
          var left, top,vikar;
          width = (window.screen.availWidth/2)+80;
          width2 = (window.screen.availWidth/2)-80;
          height = (window.screen.availHeight);
          info = window.open('info.asp'','top=0,left=0,height='+height+',width='+width+',resizable=yes,scr ollbars=yes,status=yes');
          var settings= 'toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,'+
          'status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=yes, top=0, left='+width+', height='+height+',width='+width2;
          file = window.open('showfile.asp?strJnr='+jnr+'&print=false','file',settings);
          info.focus();
function closeFileWindow(){
            if(file && !file.closed){
                         file.close();

Cannot open PDFs in browser in IE from Search Center

[SYSTEM]
SharePoint 2013 Enterprise, 2WFE, 2App, 1SQL
[ISSUE]
We have a problem with opening PDF files from search results in IE. I can open PDFs in the browser with Chrome and Firefox in all site collections as well as search results. If using IE10, I can open PDFs in browser everywhere except
the Search results page. Also, if I right click on a document in search results, and click "Open in new tab" or "Open in new window", then the pdf opens up in browser just fine. If I copy the URL and paste it into the address
box, the document will also open in browser with no problem.
The only way that the browser tries to open a pdf document in the client is when you click on the document directly in Search results. All other ways of opening the file yield the right result.
We really need PDFs to open in browser in IE. Please help.
[TROUBLESHOOTING DONE]
I set the Web Application Browser File Handling to Permissive from Central Administration.
I specified for files to open in the browser in Search Center preferences accessible from the bottom of the search results page.
I verified that "application/pdf" is an AllowedInlineDownloadedMimeType
The Office Web Apps settings were modified to open PDFs in the default PDF reader rather than OWA.

Disable 'open PDF in browser'

Hi,
I'm trying to disable the open PDF in browser option in a corporate enviroment. The Adobe knowledge base said that this can be done by disabling the addon called 'Adobe PDF Reader'
I've set a policy to disable this addon, but the PDF still open in the browser. Any ideas?
Also is there a registry key to disable instead? We are using IE11 as a browser.
Thanks
Dave

Hello,
Please try the below reg.

Can't open PDFs in browser

Hello!
My Mac can't open PDFs in the browser window anymore, but just offers a download dialogue.
I already read in the forum, that it may help, to open the Acrobat Reader prefs and uncheck the "open PDF in browser window" option. The problem is though, that this option is greyed out, so I can' t uncheck it.
And: As for me I don't need to open the PDFs using the Adobe plug in.
I just want to see the PDFs quick and simple.
Any ideas gladly appreciated!

Is it possible to install and run Windows Server 2008 on a Mac Mini Server in a Virtual Machine software like Parallels

I am wondering if it is possible to install and run Windows Server 2008 on a Mac Mini Server as a VM as my main application uses Windows VisualBasic and Fox Pro and requires a Static IP to connect to it, My other offices connects to Windows Server via RDP.
Basically I am researching a Server for the same purpose and since Mac Mini and OsX both are robust in nature it can fit the bill if every thing work fine.
Thanks

From the Parallels website:
32-bit Operating Systems
Windows 8 with: Windows 8, 8.1 (when available)
Windows 7 SP1
Windows Vista SP0, SP1, SP2
Windows Server 2008 R2, SP2, SP1, SP0
64-bit Operating Systems
Windows 8
Windows 7 SP1
Windows Vista SP0, SP1, SP2
Windows Server 2012
Windows Server 2008 R2, SP2, SP1, SP0
I do suggest that you upgrade RAM to at least 8gig
if you haven't already.
FWIW, I currently use Win8/64 bit with Parallels on a 2011 Mini Server
using the windows environment for engineering applications and have
had no issues. I am running Mountain Lion but do not have the
Server app installed.

If you are trying to create a Tuxedo service in Java using WTC you need to develop an EJB that implements the TuxedoService interface and register its home in JNDI so WTC can look it up. Once that is done you can then export the service to a remote domain in the WTC configuration.

Things to consider when removing from AD domain a SQL Server 2008 which includes Reporting Services

Do any one have a link to a list of things to consider when removing from AD domain a SQL Server 2008 which includes Reporting Services, Analysis Services and Integration Services?
I am taking from an Active Directory domain several servers with SQL 2008 and Reporting Services, Analysis Services and Integration Services. The server will stay on its own without association to any domain, the server will keep its IP address and
the server will not change names.
I have done some research and I got the basic steps including, removing the user accounts from the domain, changing the services accounts, changing jobs and databases from being owned by users from the domain. But...
Are there other things in Reporting Services, Analysis Services and Integration Services internal databases that have an association with the domain AND that will fail after no longer being in the domain?
I've heard of Reporting Services subscriptions failing when the domain user account is no longer there...Are there any other got ya's that any one has encountered?
Please advice.
Note: I am posting in this forum basically because of what I heard on Reporting Services, but it may be a better idea to post into a more broad forum such as SQL Server Migration section.
Thanks beforehand

What is the proper way to demote a Win 2003 Domain Controller running SQL Server 2008 WorkGroup Edition?

Hi,
What is the proper way to demote a Windows 2003 Domain Controller running SQL Server 2008 WorkGroup Edition?
I will be migrating AD from Win 2003 to 2012....
Thanks in advanced.

Running SQL on a domain controller is highly not recommended for performance reasons and for complexities it introduces in the management of both systems (You are already facing this situation now).
I would recommend proceeding like the following before demoting your domain controller:
Install a new SQL server on a member server
Migrate your databases to the new SQL server
Once done, you can safely demote your DC.

Is it okay to run (windows server 2008) on a thinkpad t41

so do you think its okay to run (windows server 2008) on a thinkpad t41

Hello,
Microsoift Windows Server 2008 (not R2, just the original release) is based on the same kernel as Microsoft Windows Vista. I would expect it to run about as well as (or as poorly as) Vista does on a ThinkPad T41.

Only administrators have permission to add, remove, or configure server software during a terminal service remote session.

Hello
I have been trying to install Office 2010 Pro Plus onto a Server 2003 Terminal Services server. We have an OVS license and I have followed all the procedures (and variations) noted in
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff506201.aspx . However, we still get the error message 'Only administrators have permission to add, remove, or configure server software
during a terminal service remote session.' when users logon via an RDP session. If they logon locally, the applications start without problem. I have tried the manual and .msp setup, installed via the 'Add\Remove Programs, install using the command line with
'Change User /install' and then 'Change User /execute'. None of this stops the message and allows the users to use Office via TS.
Is there a step missing from the Technet site that I need to get the users working?
Any ideas would be really appreciated.
Thank you

This has not fixed my issue. I still get the message "Only administrators have permission to add, remove, or configure server software during a terminal service remote session". If I add the user into the local admins group. When I login as the
user in question or any user onto the server in question the message above appears.
When I run Lync from the shortcut on the remote drive it works. But when I run it from the desktop and start menu it displays the above error. I spoke to Ctrix who have said that it is a permissions issue. I have checked and all permissions seem to be the
same.
Please can you help?
Kind Regards, PenDraKon
