Prevent redirected printer from roaming in RDS

Whenever users logon on remotely from home their default home printer is redirected which allows them to print which is fine. The only issue is that when they get back to the office, their default printer is now lost and the first one on the list of
printers (Adobe PDF is now chosen as the default. It seems that the default printer reg. key from the remote session is being saved in their roaming profile. We also use Citrix to logon remotely and this is not an issue because Citrix has their
own printer policy that prevents his from happening. Is there a log off script or a GP setting that can be used to fix the issue that I am having?
Thanks

RDS - server 2008 R2

Hi GSsystems,
Based on my understanding, the GPO which configured default printer works well when users logon on remotely, however the default printer is lost when users get back to the office. Right?
Accoding to my knowledge, the behavior of changing Default
Printer after RDP-in/out is shown as below:
Logon, client RDP into the server, Remote Desktop service will query the
default printer from Registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows\Device
RDPCLIP.exe would save the Default
Printer settings to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Terminal Server Client\DefaultPrinter
Remote Desktop service will edit the Default
Printer registry, and then will call Print Spooler service to set
Default Printer to the one redirected.
Logoff
Remote Desktop service will query and call Print Spooler service to delete the redirected
default printer.
RDPCLIP.exe will load the Default
Printer settings from HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Terminal Server Client\DefaultPrinter
RDPCLIP.exe will restore the Default
Printer registry key based on the one it previously stored
Call Print Spooler service to update the Default
Printer
In this case, I would suggest to set the option “Always use the same printer as my default printer”. You can set this option via GUI or registry key. For your information, please refer to the following links:

Hope that helps!

Now really can't print from Officejet Pro 8600 Plus

This is my second attempt to get help. The first help made it worse. I had been unable to print from my wireless printer from my MacBook Pro, iPad, or iPhone. After about 20 hours I got it to print from a cable (it sees my network but none of my devices can see it). So I posted here asking for help and was told to uninstall the software, repair disc permissions, and reinstall the software. But when I downloaded the new software my computer would not install it because it says it is for Mac System 10.7 or less and I have 10.10. So now I can't print anything at all. I need this for work. Please help me fix it for real. I can't take this any more.
This question was solved.

Thanks for providing that information JeanneS1. I have provided some more information that should help us resolve this issue. I know you have already spent a lot of time on this, but I am willing to continue trying to get this working properly over the wireless network.
Power cycle the router, restart the Mac and the printer.
I would print off a Configuration Page to see if the printer still has a valid IP address.
Try to access the printer's Embedded Web Server. If it connects then the printer is still on the network.
If you don't have a valid IP address, once more run the Wireless Setup Wizard on the printer.
Setup a Static IP address for the printer, this way the router will always assign the same IP address to the printer. Which should stop the disconnection.
Here is a document on this issue. But for now just follow Solution two: Assign the printer an automatic static IP address under Mac. Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection.
Click the Apple menu and then click System Preferences. Click Printers & Scanners, highlight the printer name on the left side and delete the old driver, click the + sign to add the driver, you might have to click the drop down to select the printer's name to add it in. (Officejet Pro 8600 Plus)
Here is a screen shot.
Then test the printer.
You might need to update the printer's firmware if you haven't already.
How far is the printer from the router?
Here a few causes of why the printer can lose the wireless connection:
The recommended distance between the printer and the router is 1.0 meter to 1.5 meters (3 ft to 5 ft).
A nearby device that emits radio signals (such as a microwave or cordless telephone) might interfere with the wireless connection.
A virtual private network (VPN) prevents the printer from accessing the computer and wireless network.
The network connection is no longer active, or has low signal strength.
The printer goes into sleep mode or standby mode.
A firewall prevents the printer from accessing the computer and wireless network.
What kind of router are you using?
What kind of security are you using? (WPA2/WPA, WPA Personal, WEP)
What band is the router set to? (2ghz or 5ghz)
I believe by changing these settings on the router will help with this issue if it continues. You might need to contact the router company to make those changes.
Make sure that on your wireless modem, the channels for 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz are fixed and are not set to automatic !!
Select channel 6 for 2.4Ghz and channel 36 for 5Ghz frequency.
Hope this helps get you up and running again.

AFter the latest download, my e-mail service keeps getting a bar at the top "Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page". I have to keep hitting the "Allow" link? How do I get rid of this?

Ever since the last update, I'm having problem accessing my e-mail account. I keep getting an annoying bar at the top of the screen "Firebox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page." I have to keep hitting the allow button, sometimes twice. And when I do get into the accounts the bar jumps in and out every time I open a new e-mail, or delete and old one.
How do I get rid of this. I've had this account for years, with a very reputable private e-mail provider. This is nuts.

See:
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > General : Accessibility : [ ] "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page"
The setting in "Tools > Options > Advanced > General" is meant as an accessibility feature, as you can see by the label of that section, so that people with disabilities or people who use screen readers do not get confused and is not meant as a safety protection to stop redirecting.

I'm using Firefox 3.6.3 on Mac OS 10.6.3. It's not reported as a generalised problem in Dashboard.

No I'm not using NoScript, but I'm pleased to report that the problem got resolved by deleting the original bookmark, logging in again, opening Google calendar, then bookmarking it again.

How do I turn off the "firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page" dialogue ?

I am a mac user. I tried to access my bank account, but firefox 3.6.8 prevents me by telling me: "firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page". This is NOT a dialogue which I can click a button. Instead, nothing happens when I type my bank's URL while a small message appears below the URL field bar. I do not have the OPTIONS under the Tools menu (like on Windows version) and my preferences does not give me any option to turn this thing off. Can any one HELP me as I cannot have access to my bank website?

How do I make Foxfire quit giving me the message Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page?

When I am on some sites Firefox gives me the message Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page? and then I have to click Allow. This happens on every single page on certain sites. How can I make this stop all together?

* [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Menu_differences Firefox > Preferences] > Advanced > General : Accessibility : [ ] "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page"

Tab closes with no error msg when I click on "Allow". Msg: Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page. I had to uncheck the Advance/General/Accessibility option for it to work. Why?

Msg: Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page. When I click on "Allow", The 2nd tab closes with no error msg This was Home Depot redirecting to CitiGroup.
When I unchecked the Advance/General/Accessibility option to be notified of a "redirect" then things worked.
Why did clicking on "Allow" not work?
I posted step by step detail in the Trouble Shooting box below.

Thank you for your answer. It does stop the redirection notices, but now I have no idea if potentially unsafe sites are redirecting me. I cannot figure out why it has only recently started to happen on my home page though, when nothing has changed on there and I've had it set to show redirections, ever since I set up Firefox.
I guess I'll just have to make the decision as to whether I want to risk redirections or put up with the semi permanent notice.
Thanks again mha007

Migration from Roaming Profiles to User Profile Disks - RDS 2012 (R2)

Hi, I'm currently in the process of tweaking our RDS 2012 environment and have a question I hope someone can help me with....
The users who log onto the Collection are currently using roaming profiles stored on a 2008 R2 file server, but I'd like to move them onto User Profile Disks (looks to be a lot of pro's to it). Is there a way to migrate users profiles from roaming profiles
to User Profile Disks? We already have a lot of users on the farm with roaming profiles and I'm guessing if UPD is enabled, it will only take effect with new users? I need to do this without too much hassle if possible
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

Hi Paul,
Thank you for your posting in Windows Server Forum.
Sorry to disappoint you, but you cannot able to move\migrate the roaming user profile to new User profile disk on server 2012\R2. You need to move them manually. Please refer below thread.
Is it possible to migrate local profiles to user profile disks?

I get a message Fire Fox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page, everytime I log into a bank or credit card web site?

When I log into my bank or credit cards websites I get a message that says "Fire Fox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page." It says "Allow" or an X. Sometimes I can click Allow and it goes but then other times if I click Allow on it kicks me out. If I click "X" it goes but I have to click X every page. How can i stop this?

Printer redirection using Server 2008 R2 RDS

Hi
I have a server 2008 R2 (not a domain controller) running as a remote desktop session host with 2 remote XP SP3 client PCs connecting to it. Up until Friday last week these client PCs could successfully print via the redirected printer using the RD Easy
Print Driver. As from this week though all printing has ceased! No updates have been installed on either server or clients in the interim. When I try to send a test print from the server (logged on using RD 7 for XP) it tells me that the test print has failed,
do I want to run the troubleshooter? If I say yes then the troubleshooter fails with an unexpected error, the details of which include error code 0x80070057. If i try to print from the server using notepad I get the error "the parameter is incorrect". If I
print from wordpad the document appears briefly in the queue but nothing prints. If I manually add a printer (using specific printer driver - not easy print driver) and choose the correct redirected port and then print using this printer, the print job appears
briefly in the queue and then disappears - nothing appears in the print queue on the client PC and nothing prints. Initially printing like this caused the client TsWpfWrp.exe to fail but upgrading the version of TsWpfWrp.exe stopped this problem. I have tried
updating to .net 4.0 on the client PC, upgrading from RD 6.1 to 7.0, XP SP2 to SP3 all to no avail.
Does anyone know the solution to this problem? I am at a complete loss as to the way forward. I have checked all group policies and set all the correct permissions on the spool and PRINTERS folder in system32 on the server and nothing seems to help.
Thanks for your help!

Hi,
Please try to check the following items.
1.
Remove the Remote desktop easy print from Print Management console.
2.
Remove the complete package.
3.
Then install the Remote desktop easy print driver again.
Please also check if the
fenableRDR key still exists in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\Wds\rdpwd.

Firefox prevented this page from auto redirecting to another page

firefox prevented this page from auto redirecting to another page
I get this message every time I go to new search page. I am so F-ING tired of pressing the key allow it's not funny. Can't Fire fox remember the dam pages I go to? Every freaking time I go to a new page that props up and I have to click allow. I would like to get rid of that for good so if you can help me that's cool if not then good bye. I go to explorer for browser. I can't take it anymore. Plus when I'm reading that page moves up again and I have to click allow again.

PCL3/PCL3GUI Compatibility With MS RDS Redirected Printing

Attempting to determine if PCL3, PCL3 Enhanced, and PCL3 GUI are compatible with Microsoft Remote Destop Services/Terminal Services redirected printing. Part of this is to determine the differences between PCL3, PCL3 Ehanced and PCL3 GUI. While I have not found anything official, based on references I have found on other websites it appears as if PCL3 and PCL3 Enhanced are "true" PCL but that PCL3 GUI is host-based.
We have used some printers in the past that had some form of PCL3 (did not distinguish a difference between enhanced/GUI, etc.. until recently) and seem to have had mixed luck where sometimes it seems to work and sometimes it does not. One issue I did notice is that, like host based printers, they can produce very large spooler files which often causes problems.
I have attempted to find a definitive answer in HP documentation, but have had no luck. Would appreciate assistance in locating HP documetation that explains the differences between PCL3, PCL3 Enhanced and PCL3 GUI, as well as definitive documentation regarding compatibility with Microsoft RDS Redirected Printing.

Hi IT_DAN,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I am sorry, but to get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it, in the commercial forums since this is a commercial product. You can do this at HP Enterprise Business Community.
