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.

Remote Desktop local printer redirection problem - Server 2012 Foundation

Hi,
I am trying to print from Windows Server 2012 Foundation to my local printer hosted on Windows 7.
When I enable local resources in the RDP client, I can see my printers on the server like redirected. All seems like no problem occured. But only print does not work. ;-)
I can see the document name in the queue with Error status.
I tried set up GP with disabling Easy print, the drivers are identical on both machines, event logs are clear.
The server is freshly installed, running only File server role. No Domain controller role is set. No Terminal Service is set (i think in Foundation is it not possible), only allowed RDP.
RDP client is the newest. I have not any problem to print from other servers (WS2003, WS2008R2) using this printer. Everytime is the printer automatically redirected to TS*** port and works.
I spent few hours searching solution with no effect.
Any idea? Many thanks!

Hi,
Did you find any error message during this issue?
Please check you have enabled necessary port for printer redirection on server side. You can check “Do not allow client print redirection” is disable under GPO setting. Also the user must have enough permission to print the document. Please check below link
for more information.

we are running server 2008 r2 on our head office, and we have opened two different branch offices one in the same city but 4 kilometer away from our head office and one branch office is in another city 300 kilometer away from our head office. our requirement
is to connect both branch offices with head office. am i right that our requirements are as below......?
------a wan connection from our first branch office to head office.
------another wan connection from 2nd branch office to head office.

Hi,
You can deploy the site-to-site VPN, then all your branch office can access your head office as in the head office.

32bit windows client PC not able to print from TS server 2008 64bit

I had a HP M1216NFH printer install at branch office. The branch user will need to remote connect to Terminal Server to access the stock program and print the order back to M1216NFH printer. But none of the branch user are able to print remotely.
The Terminal Server is running on Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard 64bit version, and all the branch users are using 32bit Windows 7 and XP version. The printer redirection is created during remote session, and user is able to select the printer to print, but is nothing come out from the printer.
I had install x86 printer driver, but is still not working. Server is auto using remote desktop easy print driver when printer redirection in remote session.
I did try connect branch user PC to another Terminal Server running on WIndows Server 2003 R2 Standard 32bit version, and tested is no problem to print.
Can anyone guide me what is the step that i was miss out for Windows Server 64bit configuration in order to allow 32bit windows client to print?
Thank you.

I believe the only way to print client side from a web app would be to use the ActiveX print control off of the viewer (disregarding the ugly way of using the browsers print button).
If there is another way I am sure someone will correct me

GPP Delete policy not working on Windows Server 2008 R2 RDS when deleting shared printers with status access denied.

Hi!
I Have one AD Security group for each shared printer, I have one GPP that map the printer if the user is in the security group that belong to the printer. And one GPP to delete the printer if the user is NOT member of the security group. The security group
is also applied in “Security” tab on the printsrv with PRINT rights and “everyone” is removed. This works 100 % on Windows 7 clients and Windows 2003 Terminal Servers. But on Windows 2008 R2 RDS this dont work.The Delete Policy will not delete the shared
printer. No warning in any logs, and the gpresult shows that the gpo setting applyed sucessfully. The only way I can make the Delete policy work is if i give the user print rights on the printer on the printsrv. Looks like for the policy to work on 2008
R2 the user must have print rights on the printer object on the printserver. The GPP Delete Policy will not delete printers that have status : access denied. Anyone else had this problem?

Hi,
Based on your description, it seems that we need to give users appropriate permissions, for the error
Access is denied is more or less related to permissions.
However, we can avoid deploying the GPP printer delete policy. As far as I know, we can use Item-Lvel Targeting of GPP to push the shared printers
to the targeted users or groups.
Regarding ILT, the following articles can be referred to for more information.

Installing x64 and x86 drivers for a HP Laserjet p1505n printer on Windows Server 2008

How do you install both x64 and x86 drivers for a p1505n on a 2008 server? I have now managed to install 64 bit drivers but can't install x86 drivers in the normal way using Additional Drivers from the Sharing tab. I am also trying to do similar for a laserjet 1022n printer.

On the 2008 Server x64 I installed the FULL driver package 163mb.
I installed the HP P1505n on Server 2008 and made sure that was working.
Then I went back in and did the Additional Driver thing and when it asked for the driver for x86 I went to the
C:\hp_P1000_P1500_Full_Solution folder and scrolled to the bottom and there was the x86 XP driver.
I hope this helps someone.

Printer redirection using RDP ActiveX on Windows 8.1

I am using RDP ActiveX to connect to RDP server. Printer redirection is not happening with Windows 8.1 using RDP ActiveX.
Using MSTSC application printer redirection happens properly.
It works fine with all OS except Windows 8.1.
Windows 8.1 uses ActiveX 6.3.9600.
This happens with Windows 7 also when ActiveX is upgraded to 6.3.9600
Server is not installing Easy print when RDP ActiveX is used but works fine with MSTSC application.
I tired to use the interfaces, IMsRdpClient5, IMsRdpClient7, IMsRdpClient8 and IMsRdpClient9 but did not find any success.
Any help on this will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Albin

Server 2008 R2 RDS HA Licensing configuration best practices

Hello
What is the best practice for setting up and HA licensing environment for RDS? I'm using a mixture of RDS CALs for my internal/AD users and External Connector license for my external/Internet users.
Daddio

Hi,
To ensure high availability you want to have a fallback License Server in your environment. The recommended method to configure Terminal Service
Licensing servers for high availability is to install at least two Terminal Services Licensing servers in Enterprise Mode with available Terminal Services CALs. Each server will then advertise in Active Directory as enterprise license servers with regard to
the following Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) path: //CN=TS-Enterprise-License-Server,CN=site name,CN=sites,CN=configuration-container.
To get more details on how to setup your License Server environment for redundancy and fallback, go over the "Configuring License Servers for High Availability"
section in the Windows Server 2003 Terminal Server Licensing whitepaper

How to create a Web Authentication Meathod using Server 2008 r2 ?

HI, i am a NewBee in Server Managment. am using windows server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition, with 2 NiC One is Connected to modem other one connected to Lan , using ICS for internet . i have 80 client computers , all clients have access to unlimited internet,
i want to control them without 3rd part application, or Create a Web authentication username and Password for users , is there any possible way to create a web authentication server in server 2008 r2 ? plz give me a proper guideline.....

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to configure web authentication that allow the client to connect to Internet by password and user name.
I am afraid that no function within Windows Server 2008 R2 may fulfill your requirement.
For better control of your clients, I would recommend you to configure the Windows Server 2008 R2 as an RRAS (dial-up) router(use NAT to assign private IP address for the internal network), and connect to the clients with intermediate device, such as hub,
switch. Cooperate with NPS to provide authentication for network connection.
3rd party software/device should be needed for configuring web authentication. Here is a deployment scenario just for your reference:

Default D:\i386 When Adding 86 Print Driver To Server 2008 R2 64

This has happened several times with a printer that i have installed on the server.
Printer works fine, but in sharing, additional drivers, when adding a 86 driver, i get the box "PLEASE PROVIDE PATH.....COPY FILES FROM ........D:\i386.
I have the proper driver, i installed it on my 32 bit xp computer, and printed fine by adding the printer by tcp on my computer.
I am trying to add this driver, so when i share the printer on the server, an xp machine can receive the drivers and install .
Any ideas
Thanks

Check once again whether you are configured printer properly or not?

Deploying Applications with SCCM 2012 R2 to Server 2008 R2 RDS servers

I'm having some trouble finding some concrete information from Microsoft regarding the deployment of applications to RDS servers using SCCM 2012 R2. There seems to be a lot of conjecture, old information and old wives tales floating around and I was hoping
I could get some information confirmed!
1. MSI installs automatically switch to install mode on RDS servers?
I've seen this mentioned a few times. I've also seen it mentioned that it is only true when running the MSI from the console session manually (i.e clicking the MSI file) not running as SYSTEM as SCCM would usually do. Can someone confirm if they do this
themselves or not?
2. Users still logged in when deploying applications?
Is it possible to deploy an application while users are still logged in? Is this only related to going into 'install' mode and taking the chance that a user will do something that will cause issues? Or is it known to cause issues?
I guess those are the main ones, I'm experienced in SCCM but not with deploying to RDS servers, I cant seem to find any straight answers!
Anyway, thanks in advance!

I've never had large enough RDS environment to use SCCM for app push, but from my experience in managing 2012/R2 RDS and local installs, I never bother with switching to install mode anymore and it works fine. Now if you're skeptical, you can
easily build this into a script that runs as a pre-req to your .MSI as part of the software package in SCCM so it's not a big deal.
As for installing apps while users are logged in, shouldn't be a problem if you're installing a new app., if however you're updating an existing application or uninstalling it, then it may be best to drain that RDS host first of all user sessions then do
the work just to be safe. this also helps avoid reboots.

Event ID's 4005, 50 and 56 on Server 2008 R2 RDS

My event log's are being hammered with Event 4005 The Windows logon process has unexpectedly terminated,
Event 50 The Terminal Server security layer detected an error in the protocol stream and has disconnected the client
and Event 56 The RDP protocol component <component> detected an error in the protocol stream and has disconnected the client.
I have followed the suggestions in
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc734097(v=ws.10).aspx and searched on this without finding a solution to make the events go away.
I also tried following this suggestion to remove two Windows Updates (even though I have Win 2008 Standard R2 and not SBS)
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/dd7157b8-8ecc-4a13-88ad-f4ca0d3b3249/error-the-windows-logon-process-has-unexpectedly-terminated?forum=smallbusinessserver
I have cross referenced the dates & times of these events with a login audit file I keep and hoping to find a pattern related to specific users but no luck.
Before I open a paid support ticket, I just want to find out if there is any common thread to these Event ID's.
Can these be caused by:
1) an RDP worm/malware?
2) Macintosh RDP clients?
3) Disconnected session being logged off after 2 hrs by policy?

Hi,
The error which you are facing, might occurs due to some network related issue or some RDP\disconnection related issue. You can try to configure TCP offload chimney, disable RSS Disable NetDMA for Eevent ID 50 & 56. For Event ID 4005, as you have provided
the link for article. Did you check whether registry is corrupted? Windows logon service is running.
Please check below article for more information:
1. How
to troubleshoot “The Terminal Server security layer detected an error in the protocol stream and has disconnected the client. Client IP:” and “The RDP protocol component X.224 detected an error in the protocol stream and has disconnected the client”err
2. How to resolve the issue “Remote Desktop Disconnected” or
“Unable to Connect to Remote Desktop (Terminal Server)”
Hope it helps!

Error using Server 2008 SDK

I am getting the following error when attempting to generate and display a report via the java sdk:
This field name is not known. Details: errorKind Error in File {24EF9C46-F999-4426-B5A2-5B9435BD5235}.rpt: Error in formula fProdDetDesc: '{pCovCanDetbyAcct;1.ProdDetDesc}' This field name is not known. Details: errorKind
This error does not happen when I manually run the report on the Central Management Console or via Developer 2008.
Is there something in the report that the SDK does not support? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey PaulMac,
Sorry I can't help, except in the "Misery loves company" department. There was one article in the SAP KnowledgeBase, but it was referring to DB2, which doesn't apply in my case.
I have just seen the "errorKind" string in a message when trying to print/preview a CR 10 report running against a MAS 90 version 4.20 database.
Here is my message:
Error in formula <Record_Selection>. |'|'|The remaining text does not appear to be part of the formula. |Details: errorKind.
