SBS2003 + Terminal server 2003

We have a SBS 2003 with a Terminal server licensing (TS per user call) / manager / configuration role installed. We want to remove the sbs and use the TS in a workgroup.
Can somebody plz explain me the steps.
Thanks

Hi,
Thank you for your posting in Windows Server Forum.
There is step by step guide for demoting and removing server from the network. Please go through below article for more information.
Demote and Remove the Server Running Windows SBS 2003 from the Network
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee523227(v=ws.10).aspx
To work TS server 2003 in workgroup mode, you need to check some basic things. You need to locate the terminal service license server. Please check below article for more information.
Best practices for setting up Remote Desktop Licensing (Terminal Server Licensing) across Active Directory Domains/Forests or Workgroup
A Windows Server 2003-based terminal server cannot locate the Terminal Services license server
Hope it helps!
Thanks,

Tips to install Sap Gui On Windows Terminal Server 2003

Does anybody know any method to install SapGui on Windows Terminal Server 2003 to share it to many users ?
The problem is: when I try to install Sap Gui 6.40 via Control Panel-Add/Remove Programs it tells me that I must change the mode with "change user /install". I dont know the reason why it reports me that if I do it via Control Panel. And if I do that and then I launch the installation again it reports me the warning again.
What should I do ?
Thanks in advance for your help.

We have SAP R3 4.6C.
We want to optimize the bandwidth in a 802.11b radio. Because of that we dont want to run any application in the hand-held.
We'll intend to launch a remote desktop on a dozen hand-helds connecting the Windows 2003 Terminal Services server. In this server we could run SAP GUI, WebSapconsole or the browser.
Its important to note that the hand-held computers must only show the designed windows (sized to 16x20), removing title bars, transaction bar, menu bars, tool bars, status bars, etc. For this purpouse I think we can use WebSapconsole.
With this method we have noticed that when a error or warning is displayed it hides some part of the screen instead of presenting in the status bar.
I hope you all your doubts are clear now, if not just tell me.
Thank you.
PS. Sorry for my english.

Terminal server 2003 and window7 printer

we have a terminal server 2003 and now added a windows 7 workstation running rdp. all printers except the new hp2025n show in session by loading the printdriver 2020 on the server. How ever on the windows 7 desktop I had to load the 2020 driver for windows 7. The win7 driver will not load on the server, error this platform not supported. I understand that the 2 drivers have to match for the printer to be used in rdp. The other printer that come across is a black dell printer with no problems. so the driver is what I suspect is the issue.

Windows terminal server 2003 cluster

We have a FOG with three Solaris 10 x86 servers, SRSS 4.2, SRWC 2.3 with the latest SRSS 4.2 patches. All Sunrays have the latest firmware.
Kiosk settings points to a windows 2003 terminal server cluster. The two nodes in the windows cluster have latest SRWC 2.0.
The cluster entitles, two terminal servers and a session manager server, we use roaming profiles.
When pointing kiosk settings to the cluster FQDN the sunray sessions are routed to just one server in the windows cluster. But if we RDP to Cluster's FQDN from a regular desktop the windows cluster load balances properly.
I do need help understanding how SRSS handles sessions? specifically if nodes are behind a cluster with session manager. Could it be that the session manager it's incompatible with SRSS in kiosk mode since it tries to route sessions at the mean time SRSS is doing the same task?
Thanks,

Hi Estrar,
Short answer: 2003 Session Directory does not do load balancing.
Long answer (to the above and your other questions):
The Sun Ray Server doesn't do anything with regards to load balancing the windows sessions. To the Sun Ray Server, or more appropriately the windows connector, it's just making the connection you tell it to.
With regards to the windows client "working", am I correct in guessing that you ran subsequent instances of MS-RDC to "prove" that it worked?
Most likely what happened there is that the PC, thus MS-RDC, received different IP addresses back from DNS for the FQDN with each launch. This is basically round robin, not load balancing. But I'd have to understand how you've done the FQDN of the cluster in DNS.
The most common initial reaction is that the DNS server is setup incorrectly (I'll plead guilty that I've had the same reaction). It is true that some DNS servers can be configured will return the same IP on the first dns query. This is called a cyclic ordering and results in the IP address of the resolved name every client to be identical. For example, if a DNS server is set for cyclic ordering, every first request for the IP of server A for xyz.com will be the same on all clients. The second query from the same client should result in server B being resolved, if not, then you do have a DNS problem.. However, in the case of Sun Ray Server, the "second query from the same client" would be the second session coming up, since, as far as the DNS server is concerned, all the Sun Ray session are coming from the same client. Therefore, even with cyclic ordering, round robin should work even better in a Sun Ray environment then a "fat" client environment. You can check the documentation for specific DNS servers on how to set a random order for round robin (which should be the default), but chasing down cyclic ordering of RR entries as a cause to this "issue" is basically a red herring in a Sun Ray environment.
More than likely the same IP being returned everytime is a side effect of the name service caching daemon (nscd). The job of nscd is to speed up name resolution. However, ncsd will break any round robin scheme as it caches the first server returned by the first query from the caller (i.e. the host doing the name lookup, aka the Sun Ray server) and all applications on the caller will use that address for the lifetime of the cache. The default lifetime of the nscd cache is 3600 seconds (an hour). To disable the name service caching daemon, run the following command on every Sun Ray server in the host group (aka FOG): svcadm disable system/name-service-cache
An über smart colleague mentioned the possibility of another problem that could exist even if nscd is disabled and the hosts are on the same subnet as the caller . This has to do with default behavior of the Solaris resolver library putting servers that reside on the same subnet as the caller at the top of the sort order. You can read the notes in the man page for "gethostbyname" and also the man page for nss(4) for more information, but both reference how this behavior can break round robin. The fix is to edit /etc/default/nss and uncomment (or add) the statement SORT_ADDRS=FALSE
While those two things will allow a Solaris based Sun Ray server (or any Solaris client) to properly recognize round robin entries, it still holds true that 2003 Session Directory does not do load balancing. The only role of session directory is to ensure that you don't get routed to a different terminal server in case you have an existing session on another server. Round Robin + Session Directory may be all you need, but bear in mind that it is not "load balancing". Users could still connect directly to one of the IP addresses vs the round robin DNS name and that would defeat the round robin scheme in place.
Load balancing is a separate component in 2003, either using an external device like F5's BigIP or using Windows Network Load Balancing (NLB) service.
The type of load balancing solution that can be used depends on what is meant when you use the term "cluster". If the cluster is a real implementation of Windows 2003 Clustering (i.e.the type of cluster you'd use for SQL, Exchange, etc) then you can't use NLB and would have to use an external load balancer. Sun Ray Windows Connector supports either IP based or token based load balancers, though we don't certify any third party products in this regard.
"Cluster confusion" occurs because Session Directory itself is supported by Windows 2003 Clustering in order to provide a highly available directory service. Easy to see how this would be desirable with a large number of terminal servers. However, NLB does not work, nor is it supported on Windows 2003 Cluster.
To further the confusion, when NLB is enabled on the NIC that is handling RDP traffic, one of the configuration tabs is "Cluster Parameters". But it is important to realize that this has nothing to do with Windows 2003 Clustering and is in fact incompatible with it. NLB makes use of independent servers (i.e. not clustered), which the primary requirement of those servers is that they are on the same subnet.
Finally, it is easy to get confused between 2003 and 2008 session directory when it comes to load balancing, but they are very different. 2008 "session directory" does do load balancing. In fact, to underscore this distinction/feature, Microsoft has renamed Session Directory to TS Session Broker. (See http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc772418%28WS.10%29.aspx)
To summarize, with Windows 2003 you have two choices when it comes to load balancing and session directory.
1) Have a HA implementation of Session Directory and use an external load balancer
2) Have non-HA implementation of session directory and use NLB to do load balancing.

Reader 8.1.2 and Terminal Server (2003)

I have Adobe reader 8.1.2 loaded on a terminal server. Program has been fine until today. When some (not all) users open some (not necessarily all) PDF files, the program terminates without an error being shown.
The server log shows:
Faulting application AcroRd32.exe, version 8.1.0.137, faulting module ADMPlugin.apl, version 3.16.128.32, fault address 0x000a7bf1.
I tried upgrading to Reader 9. But it seemed to do the same thing. Removed Reader, tried to make sure all traces were gone (went through the manual removal), and then reinstalled 8. Still doing this. Any ideas?

Hi jhousen1,
Please provide more information for better analyzation:
1. What error message do you receive in Internet Explorer?
2. Do we have any proxy settings configured in group policy?
Please Check the proxy settings through Internet Options in Windows 8.1, also take a look at the article below:

SAP GUI Memory issues on Windows Terminal Server 2003!!

Hi All
We are currently experiencing serious issues with our terminal servers and SAP GUI. It appears that SAP GUI is consuming a large amount of memory inorder to run, which in term is causing our terminal servers to page more.
I am not sure where to start with this issue so any help would be great!
Thanks
Phil
Loads of points if someone helps me solve this!!!

Citrix won´t help much, it´s "just" a different protocol between the client and the server, Citrix itself will use even more memory.
Why are you sure, that the reason for this is the SAPGUI and not any other Office program?
Let´s calculate:
I´m writing this message on a TS too. My Outlook (2003) consumes ~ 32 MB memory (incl. virtual), I have 4 SAPGUI windows open which consume 64 MB and some telnet sessions (no Word, Excel etc.)
Let say roughly 128 MB all in all.
If you have 2000 users with 20 servers, means, 100 users on one server, that would be 12,8 GB memory - not caclulated other services running on that box (printserver etc.) including the operating system itself.
If your users have Internet Explorer (or other browsers) open too, you will need to add that amount too. 128 MB per user is the minimum.
If users use BEx (or other .NET based BI developer tools), that amount will doubled (at least).
SAP recommends a PC with at least 256 MB memory to run a SAPGUI with acceptable performance, do you have that much per users? How big are your single servers?

Report Builder 9.0.4 and Terminal Server 2003

Is anyone running this config? I'm getting intermittent crashes, and wondering if anyone else has seen the same. We are primarily using Report Builder for non-English reports, but the server's base language is English. Prior to launching Builder, we set the NLS_LANG varaible to the target language, then launch. Most crashes seem to occur in the layout editor.

You need to set TNS_ADMIN to the director that contains the tnsnames.ora

Running Windows Terminal Server 2003 with old version of Adobe. got the message it was no longer supported and it stopped working. Trying to install XI and it gets about 70% done and stops. Ran the cleaner on the 9.3 version to remove it. We use this

Installing Adobe Reader XI and it is stopping at about 70%. No error, it just stops. If I hit cancel and try it again, I get the 2203 error.

You are right: CS5 installs Flash Player 10.1 beta. You cannot install an older version of Flash Player unless you completely uninstall the beta version first:
download the 10.1 uninstaller from http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html#uninstallers and save it to disk;
from a Command Prompt, run the downloaded uninstaller with the -force option.

Terminal Server Licensing 2003 to 2012 mixed environment - issue

We have 1 2003 Terminal Server and 1 2012 RDSH. We recently
migrated 2003 Terminal License Server to new 2012 RD Licensing Server.
On 2012 RD Licensing Server we have been instaled 20 - 2012 RDS Per Device Cal and 20 - 2003 TS Per Device Cal.
I sometimes works on Terminal
Server 2003 or 2012. And here is a problem with issued Terminal license for Device. When I Logoff from
2003 TS and then I log in to 2012 RDS - the 2012 RD Licensing Server issued new license for my computer on this same name. When I do the same in the reverse order - the 2012
RD Licensing Server issued next new license for my computer. I do this several times and now I have 10 permanent 2012 RDS license issued for this same computer with this same name, and 5 temporary 2012 RDS license issued for this same computer and 1 temporary
2003 TS for this same computer.
I have no idea how resolve this problem.
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide.

Accessing Exchange 2013 Mailboxes from Terminal Server hosted on Server 2003 Std - Cert Issues

We are in the midst of deploying an Exchange 2013 SP1 CU5 environment and have run into some issues. Currently there is a good coexistence between a single Exchange 2007 server and the 5 2013 servers. Mail is flowing through 2013 and then being
relayed to 2007 when necessary.
We have a number of Server 2003 Terminal Servers. On two separate machines, both running the lastest rollups of Outlook 2010, any user with a 2013 mailbox receives a password prompt after launching Outlook. It is trying to connect to one of the
two CAS, fills in the user's account, and will not accept any password. In addition, a window pops up behind stating "There is a problem with the proxy server's security certificate. the name on the security certificate is invalid or does
not match the name of the target site mail.pvschemicals.com. Outlook is unable to connect to the proxy server. (error code 0)." 2007 mailboxes are not affected.
We have checked pretty much everything that we can think of. Virtual Directories are good, certificate is good, etc. The strange thing is that only happens on 2003 TS machines, so I have to think that it's related. Our 2008 TS' are just
find.
We have applied the 2003 SHA2 certificate hotfix.

Hi,
According to your description, the configurations of Outlook Anywhere are proper. And based on my research, the issue can be related to the version of the terminal server 2003. Thus, please check if your terminal 2003 server is 2003 R2 SP2 or later.

How can I redirect USB from Sun ray to Win2003 terminal server

Hi
I am running Sun Ray 4.2 in Solaris with SRWC 2.2 in a Kiosk mod to Windows terminal server 2003 , how can I allow users to use their USB divices from Sun Ray and appear automatically in their Windows desktop ..I try adding the following line to mikioskhdlr_win script
UTTSCPARMS="-m -b -A 24 -r sound:high" - r disk:M=/tmp/SUNWut/mnt/$USER
but it did not work .. please help

If you are using the USB Drive Daemon or manually specifying the mount then there are no issues with user access. That's only an issue with the the built in USB pass through included with SRSS 5 which is connecting directly to Windows and in essence the physical machine. The former is just mounting a network drive which is user specific.

Bug: CR XI on Windows Terminal Server 2008

We have a problem when printing a report for example with 2 columns, where the 1st column's content is larger than the width of that column, then the content is printed through colum 2.
But only when:
working on remote on Terminal Server 2008
when printing on a remote printer (redirected)
There's no problem:
in the preview window
when printing to a local printer of the server
on Terminal Server 2003
Any ideas?
Tx
Patrick

You mentioned it worked fine in the preview window, so does the issue only show up when not printing with data?

Slow printing with rdp Terminal server 2012

Hi,
we've got some problems with slow printing on a wan link with RDP to server 2012, i tried several solutions like:
Disable easy print service ( it shoud be to increase performance but it doesn't work)
option: Send the print job directly to the Printer
I'm out of my options, there are no connection problems with the remote branch office and before using server 2012 they had terminal server 2003 and printing works fine over rdp.
Thanks for your advice

Did you monitor the spooling size of the print jobs?
Depending from the drivers and the software used there may flow a serious amount of data, since both hardware and software makers no longer care about efficient programming, if it comes to bandwidth and storage occupation sizes. Slow WAN connections do not
fit in to their picture any more ...
This was still different in the Server 2003 era.

Windows 2003 Terminal Server, ZEN 7, and WSUS

Hi,
We're having a problem getting a group policy to "Stick" in Windows 2003
terminal server. The server(s) have the ZEN 7.01 agent installed per
the TID's for a terminal server. We believe we've set all the Group
Policies of the users that login to these systems, yet once they are
rebooted, the WSUS update server location resets to the default
(update.microsoft.com). This is set in gpedit in:
\computer configuration\administrative templates\Windows
Components\Windows Update
Is this settable in a user package, or should this be done in a
workstation package? If so, could we "force" the workstation package to
override the Windows Update settings for all users, regardless of what
user policy package they have?
Thanks for any ideas!
Greg

In the Properties of the WS Group Policy, there is an option to set "Loop
Back" so that the Computer GPO is set last.

Lost ability to edit on 2003 terminal server

Not sure when exactly it happened, but for some reason the ability
for Zen to manage the desktops on 2003 terminal server is gone.
Additionally when I open console one and try to edit the policy or
even create a new one and edit the group policies, the all is
greyed out. No button available for User, security or computer
configuration. I can select the path to where the policy is or
should be created, but clicking the edit button results in the
following error:
The policy that you are attempting to edit is being edited by
another user. I'm the only admin and no one else is editing it
for certain. I get the same message if I even attempt to create a
new policy from the terminal server desktop.
Suggestions? Thanks a bunch.
