RDS Session Random Keyboard Behaviour After Unlock

Hi,
I've got an issue which I'm pretty certain is related to the RDC client but I'm at a loss as to how to fix....
Server 2008 R2 running RDS, Desktops running Windows 7
- User has RDS session full screen, they lock PC with ctl-alt-del, then unlock, typing on the keyboard results in random characters. Disconnecting and reconnecting RDS session resolves issue.
I though I had the cause pinned down to bug in the RDC client, starting in Shell v.6.2.9200 and still present in Shell v6.3.9600. By removing these updates, rolling back to Shell v6.1.7601 the problem went away. But the users are now reporting the issue
again.
I could reproduce the problem on my laptop with Shell v6.2.9200 but after rolling back and forwards again the problem has gone. I'm aware there has been some RDP related updates over the last week or two but I haven't been able to confirm if they are relevant
yet.
I've spent a lot of time looking in to this but can't find anything related, such as other people reporting same issue.
Anyone have any ideas or info or anything?
Thanks, Jon.

Hi Jon,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Which are the different updates has been installed recently?
The issue might occur because the remote desktop ActiveX object does not deactivate the focus of the remote desktop session when the focus is lost. Because the focus is still activated, the remote desktop ActiveX object cannot set the focus of the remote desktop
session again when you change the focus back to the session. Please try to download and install hotfix and check the result.
A remote desktop session does not respond to keyboard input or mouse input after it loses the focus in Windows 7 or in Windows Server 2008 R2

in addition also suggest you to try with RDC 8.1 new version for Windows 7and check the result. Apart from this, also check beneath thread and article.
1. Windows Key "stuck"
2. Windows key "stuck" in Remote Desktop...
Hope it helps!
Thanks,
Dharmesh

Bizarre keyboard behaviour after 4.2 upgrade

Since upgrading to KDE 4.2 (from 4.1) as part of a system upgrade, my system has been practically unusable due to the bizarre keyboard behaviour within KDE.
Right from the KDM login screen, most of the keys do not work as normal. For most letters, the key has to be pressed twice in order to generate the letter. However, I cannot type anything with a "u" because it is interpreted as a shortcut to undo everything I have just entered! Letter "f" has to be typed 4 times. If I type "h" once it appears; if I type it again it disappears. Letter "l" produces a vertical division in the window. I could go on....
Since my password ends in "u" I even had to change the password in order to login to KDE because the "u" would delete the characters I'd already entered! But once logged in the problem is just the same.
I have tried setting a different keyboard layout within KDE but this made no difference.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling KDE.
The problem seems to be KDE related, because outside KDE, in a system console, the keyboard works absolutely normally. And it doesn't seem to be related to the individual KDE user, since as I said, the problem is present as soon as the KDM login screen appears.
Has anyone got any ideas please?

Thanks for the suggestions. Although they did not prove to be the answer, I have now overcome the problem. I suspect it was a one-off caused by corrupted data, probably in the xorg installation rather than KDE. I removed xorg then reinstalled it - some of the pkg files were corrupt and had to be replaced. Then I had trouble starting the X server at all, and had to reinstall several library packages. The system is running more normally now, though I think there are still some data corruptions in there and time will tell whether the installation is salvageable.

Tecra 8000: Strange keyboard behaviour after reassembling

Hi,
after reassembling the single keys to my keyboard from Tecra 8000 the keys have a strange behaviour. For example if i press the key 2 the display shows '82' or 'q'. if i hold the key longer, the display shows '2222222222222....', the right sign for the key.
Do you knwo, what i can do?
i had to reassemble the key because my little niece took all the keys off.
thanks for your answer,
Butch

Hi
I agree with Daniel. There is some technical problem and only thing you can do is try to clean the contacts. If there is no success you should replace the keyboard. This unit is older one and I am pretty sure that you can find a cheap used keyboard.

Random reboots mostly after unlocking, am I the only one getting them?

Sometimes I unlock my phone and the screen remains black, then the phone reboots but weirdly it doesn't ask for the SIM pin number. Other times I notice the phone reboots by itself and I notice it because obviously the screen lights up during the boot animation. This happens very rarely, so far it has happened about 3 to 5 times in a couple of months but it's still mega annoying when it happens.
Does it happen only to me? Is there any way to troubleshoot this issue?
And please don't tell me to factory reset, I already did that less than a month ago and it happened anyway. Factory resetting is just a huge waste of time 99% of the time especially if you are not rooted.

@MarkMRL
Have you ever rooted the phone? unlocked the bootloader? flashed a custom ROM?
Repair the phone with PCC and stay away from intrusive apps for a dsay or so, or even repair the phone with PCC and do not install apps for a day, just to narrow down the issue

Loosing Printer im RDS Session

Hi together,
we have a problem with printing in an Server 2012 RDS environment. The printer are mapped to the user through group policies and after a random of time the printer are unusable. When start printing e.g. with Word, the error is "handle is invalid".
We can delete the printer an map the same printer manual, so the user can continue with printing.
We tried to remove the group policy and map all the printer manually. In this case, the printer disappear from the enviroment of the user. After remapping the printer everything is fine.
Another effect is the follwing. If we delete the printer in one RDS-session, they disappear in other sessions, too? Why?
Has anyone similiar problems and has anyone a solution?
Thanks a lot!
Best regards

Keyboard issues after upgrading to Leopard

Seems there's been quite a bit of discussion about this topic already but it's been confined to laptops and I haven't seen a solution yet. I'm seeing the same problems on a desktop computer using either a wireless or USB keyboard.
After upgrading to Leopard, my keyboard would occasionally stop responding to keystrokes. I have seen this happen on both an Apple USB keyboard and my Logitech wireless keyboard. With either keyboard, the letter and number keys would stop responding but keys like the CapsLock and Delete keys would still work. I have seen this happen when using Mac Office 2004 (Excel and Word) and Safari. With Excel, when the keyboard stops responding, if I click on a different cell, the keyboard comes back. I did update to 10.5.2 and I do have the latest version of the Logitech software but the problems still persist.
Strangely, I have only seen this happen on my MacPro but NOT my MacBook. There is a difference on how each machine was upgraded to Leopard though. On my MacBook, I did a clean install of Leopard on a new hard drive and then migrated my docs and apps from the old drive. On my Mac Pro, I did an upgrade installation over Tiger. Fortunately, I cloned my hard drive prior to installing Leopard so going back is an option and so is doing a clean install followed by a migration which is what I did on my MacBook.
Is there a fix for the keyboard problems? Am I going to have to downgrade back to Tiger?

Thanks for posting this. I thought I was alone in the universe. I have the problem with my mini, which came with Leopard installed. The USB keyboard will stop working in Word or Entourage ('04) and I have to close and reopen the document to get the keyboard going again. Thankfully, my mouse still works when this happens, so I can use it to close and save.
It seems to sometimes be triggered when I switch between applications, but I haven't been able to replicate it consistently. It is particularly bad when using find in Word. The find window will go dead and I have to close it and reopen it to do another search. (Though interestingly, I don't have to close the Word doc.)
It's irritating.

HT201328 after unlocking from ATT and resetting iphone 3gs I keep getting the same error message "could not activate phone" neither Apple Store Tech or ATT were able to fix this . Any ideas?? TKS Sandro

after unlocking over the phone from ATT and resetting iphone 3gs I keep getting the same error message "could not activate phone" neither Apple Store Tech or ATT were able to fix this .
Itunes displays a message saying "there is no SIM installed in the phone you're trying to activate" even if there is the same SIM that was working minutes before.
The SIM works on a different phone I tested it.
Any ideas?? TKS Sandro

“Could Not Activate EDGE” error message Update ...
Well it’s going on day 6 and still sporadic to no EDGE on my iPhone. At one time, it was thought to be a defective iPhone – since my partner’s iPhone works just fine.
After over three hours on the land line with AT&T and Apple, I was sent to the local Apple store for a replacement. Of course, as soon as I walked into the Apple store my iPhone worked just fine. ;-( The local store replaced my iPhone and suggested I go home and activate the phone as a NEW iPhone, that way if there was a bug in my data it would not carry over to the new phone. Did that and well… still sporadic to no EDGE. By the way, I have the Big White “E” to the right of the 5 bars and AT&T .
AT&T said last week they has “Software” issues in my area, but the CSR I talked to did not know what the issues were or if they were the cause of my problems. He did say they would call me back today to see how my iPhone was doing, but alas, no call back.
When I’m next to my partner, trying to access the same feature, his iPhone is just so fast. Mine hangs up, draws out and finally I get the error message, “Could Not Activate EDGE”. I am updated to version “1.1.4(4A102)”. New (refurbished) iPhone direct from Apple.
I remember reading a while back about some problems others had when they upgraded to from 1.1.3 to 1.1.4. I never had those problems, but it sure looks like they may have started. Does anyone remember what the problems with 1.1.4 were, what was done if anything to correct them, and best of all any suggestions?
By the way, this is Seattle, not some small – out of the way place where connection and signal strength is expected to be second rate. Also, I had full function of my iPhone from the day I bought it in June 2007, all the way up to Thursday March 20, at 2120.
Thanks

I have an optical mouse that came with my Mac Pro plugged into the USB port on the keyboard. After a year of working normally, the trackball all of a sudden stopped scrolling down. It scrolls up just fine, but not down. Any thoughts?

I have an optical mouse that came with my Mac Pro, the only thing plugged into the USB port on the keyboard. After a year of working normally, the trackball all of a sudden stopped scrolling down. It scrolls up just fine, but not down. Any thoughts?

Well
I tried all of the suggestions, sort of. I did not have alcohol wipes, but I did take alcohol and pour some ona white paper towel and then rolled the mouse touch ball aroound and that finally cleared up the problem. Just inverting it on paper did not do the reick, it needed some help with the alcohol. Of course the probelm is the debris that gets inside and it really needs to come out.
This is a huge problem for RIM devices users too.

Don't want random keyboard & mouse events to wake from sleep

is there any way to prevent a random keyboard press or mouse movement from waking up the computer? a terminal setting or something? ideally, i'd just like to use the power button to do this--or at the very least to completely disable the mouse's ability to wake the machine, and specify a certain key or something.
seems like an obvious setting that's missing...or that i'm overlooking...?
thanks!

Thanks.
If it's a BlueTooth mouse you can uncheck the option in the Keyboard & Mouse preferences.

Same as mate. Not as bad but the keyboard can't keep up with me.

Windows 2012 RDS - Session Host servers High Availability

Hello Windows/Terminal server Champs,
I am new middle of implementing RDS environment for one of my customer, Hope you could help me out.
My customer has asked for HA for RDS session host where applications are published, and i have prepared below plan for server point of view.
2 Session Host server, 1 webaccess, 1 License/connection
Broker & 1 Gateway (DMZ).
In first Phase, we are planning to target internal user
who connect to Session host HA where these 2 servers will have application installed and internal user will use RDP to access these application.
In second Phase we will be dealing with external Party who connect from external network where we are planning to integrate with NetIQ => gateway
=> Webaccess/Session host
I have successfully installed and configured 2 Session
Host, 1 license/Broker. 1 webAccess & 1 Gateway. But my main concern to have session Host High Available as it is hosting the application and most of the internal user going to use it. to configure it i am following http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753891.aspx
However most of the Architecture is change in RDS 2012. can you please help me out to setup the Session Host HA.
Note: we can have only 1 Connection broker /Licensing server , 1 webacess server & 1 Gateway server, we cannot increase more server due to cost
factor.
thanks in advance.

Yes, absolutely no problem in just using one connection broker in your environment as long as your customer understands the SPOF.
the session hosts however aren't really what you would class HA - but to set them up so youhave reduancy you would use either Windows NLB, an external NLB device or windows dns round robin. My preferred option when using the connection broker is DNS round
robin - where you give each server in the farm the same farm name dns entry - the connection broker then decides which server to allocate the session too.
You must ensure your session host servers are identical in terms of software though - same software installed in the same paths on all the session host servers.
if you use the 2012 deployment wizard through server manager roles the majority of the config is done for you.

I have a 2007 MacBookPro. Ever since I installed Mountain Lion, I intermittently lose the keyboard backlight after the computer sits idol all night. A reboot resolves the problem.

I lose the keyboard lighting after the computer sits idol all night. This began with the Mountain Lion installation. A reboot resolves it.

I reset the SMC and it looks fine. I'm not sure if it resolved it, as this problem didn't reoccur every morning. I'll have to wait a few days to know for sure. Thanks for your advice.
