Terminal server with license server move to another domain (disjoin and rejoin a domain)

I've to migrate an a terminal server windows 2008R2 with is licence server, installed on the same machine, from a domain let's call DOMAINA to a new domain DOMAINB, what will happen to TS licence server, i've to reinstall and authorise again and add
again licence or it will bring all licence with hm?
Ts licensing server and the terminal server are on the some machine. (it's offer service to only 5 users)
Thanks
Luigi

Hi Luigi,
You should be fine moving from one domain to another. Regardless I recommend you gather the original licensing paperwork, authorization number, license number, agreement number, emails, etc., as appropriate for the type of licensing program you purchased
them through. If for whatever reason you need to reinstall the RDS CALs you will be fine if you have the license documentation.
After moving the server you should test by connecting to the server via Remote Desktop and then verify that there are no warnings/errors related to licensing in the server's log. You may also want to create a RDS Per User CAL Usage report in RD Licensing
Manager, export it to .csv, and then examine it in Notepad. You should see in the file where the server has issued licenses to users in the new domain.

Terminal server move to another server

Hello,
I have 2 windows server 2003 standart (terminal server) and I want to move these servers to another Windows server 2008 r2.
how I can migrate user profiles and folders? I look for USMT but usmt does not support windows server 2003. also I checked robocopy, it take error. I need advice. How I can do this goal with min. effort?

Hi,
The 2003 Terminal Server uses v1 user profile structure. The 2008 R2 Terminal Server uses v2 user profile structure.
Based on my experience, if they are local profiles, there is no out-of-box way to support the automatic migration. You may need to manually migrate the data into the new profile locations.
The following thread is discussing on the similar requirement:
Term Server 2003(32bit) migration to new Term Server 2008(64bit) box
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winserverTS/thread/73268ddf-82fe-4274-abf5-3539670c7468
If they are roaming profiles, you can try the steps in the article below.
Support guidelines for migrating roaming user profiles data to Windows Vista or to Windows Server 2008

Users not showing in Terminal Server Under Remote desktop services manager and Task Manager

Hi All,
I have a problem here in Terminal Server. I can not see the users logged in to Server but i know users are accessing the files and currently working.
1. From the Task Manager-- Show processes from all users displayed all the processes accessing by users.
2. From the Task Manager-- From Users Tab--No users list at all
3. From the Command Prompt- Query users-- No information
4. From the Remote desktop services Manager-- used with IP/Host name-- Still can not see the users list and processes. So i can not kill the session if needed.
Enviroment:
TS CALS 20 currently accessing 15 users
VM-WARE GUEST: 2008 RS Terminal Services/Remote Desktop services installed
Windows up to date-- Just updated last month
Problem is here for long time. Just couldn't find the time to trouble shoot.
UMESH DEUJA MCP,MCTS,MCSA,CCNA

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
As you have tried many steps, I suggest you to try below command line and power shell command if successful in your case. Please try below command with Admin access:
qwinsta /server:<servername>
To kill a session use rwinsta to delete the session specifying the ID number:
rwinsta /server:computer01 3
Here's the list of command line tools for Remote Desktop Or, you can use PowerShell:
Get-RDUserSession and Disconnect-RDUser
Please check the list of Power Shell command from
this link.
Hope it helps!
Thanks,

Issues with WebDav over SSL via Terminal Server when Accessing SharePoint 2013

Hi All,
We have deployed a terminal server from which multiple users access and heavily use SharePoint 2013 (hosted on a separate server). The SharePoint site is published to the internet and is operating over an SSL certificate. Over the last few months we have
been encountering a randomly occurring issue where all the users become unable to use Open with Explorer or mapped drives to access the site. During this time they can still access the site through the browser OK and download files etc. This issue sometimes
reoccurs every few days, although at points it hasn't occurred for a couple of weeks before resurfacing.
Current Terminal Server Config
TS 2008 R2 Enterprise
Site added to Trusted Sites. (have checked during broken time and still recognized as trusted)
Using IE 11, site added as compatibility view
Registries updated as below
reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WebClient\Parameters /v AuthForwardServerList /t REG_MULTI_SZ /d "*.clientsite.com"
reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WebClient\Parameters /v BasicAuthLevel /t REG_DWORD /d 2 /f
reg add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Common\Internet /v BasicAuthLevel /t REG_DWORD /d 2 /f
registry added for tabprocgrowth added to 2
My test result are below:
Restarting the SharePoint server or the terminal server will resolve the behaviour
until the issue occurs again.
Users on the terminal server can still open the
ttps://clientsite2.harrierhc.com
URL (this url is bound to the same UCC cert) with open with explorer during this time.
While users are unable to access the ttps://clientsite.harrierhc.com
URL, if they access the same site from WebDAV with a separate binding (e.g. ttp://clientsite the behaviour works fine.
All other users not on the terminal server can still use the open with explorer behaviour during this time.
IIS reset on the SP Server & restarting the web client service on the terminal server have no impact
Reimporting the IIS certs have no impact
There are numerous errors in both server’s event logs but none at the time of the issue instigation.
Clearing the IE cached certificates has no impact
Going to IE properties for the site and clicking the ‘Install Certificate’ has no impact
Any ideas or suggestions would be much appreciated. If you need any more info let me know. (sorry for the ttps:// links cant be posted until my account is verified?
Thanks again

Hiya,
are there any load balancers involved?

IPad in terminal server with mouse

I have to use my iPad in terminal server connection, I need a keyboard and a mouse, keyboard is not a problem, I would know if iPad could support mouse for this kind of connection.

It's amazing how clever some people are. Check out:

A docking station merges your mouse actions with the remote desktop. I'm not sure if it is in production yet.

RDP to a Terminal Server via TTPT not working through routers.

I am having problems using RDP to a terminal server through a user home router and DSL connection.
User has a Linksys WRT5G v3 (Firmware 4.21.1) connected to a Cisco 678 DSL Modem.
If I direct connect the home computer to the Cisco DSL Modem everything works fine. When I try to go through the Linksys, I can get the PPTP authenticated but the RDP client just times out.
It would seem like this is a port forwarding issue, but I have tried to use the port forwarding to the IP address of the home computer(statically assigned) by forwarding ports 47, 1723 for the PPTP and port 3389 for RDP.
I have seen the same issue on my home Broadband cable setup with a NetGear Router. Having spent over an hour with the NetGear technical support without resolution. I swapped in a old Linksys Wireless Router BEFW11S4 v4 (firmware 1.52.02) and it fixed the issue.
What is the issue with some home routers letting RDP out? Is there a known model that it will work on?

I believe I have found what my issue is. The older Linksys BEFW11S4 model has a “hard coded” DHCP Server Start IP Address range of 192.168.0.X you can only change the last octet. The newer Linksys WRT5G and WRT54Gs have a “hard coded” DHCP Server Start IP Address range of 192.168.1.X.
Apparently this is their “dumb downed” solution for home routers. They do not allow you to select a different subnet to hand out with DHCP but interestingly they do allow you to fully configure the LAN IP address.
How this affected me is that my target server/network uses the same 192.168.1.X addressing scheme.
I was able to use the newer router by configuring the LAN address to like 192.168.0.200 and turning off the DHCP server. Then I assigned a static IP address to the computer in the home network to something like 192.168.0.250. Then I could successfully use PPTP and RDP to connect to a terminal server.

Terminal Server Session Management: why do we need a rdp session to take control of a terminal session?

Hi all,
As title, I have this question: why do we need a rdp session to take remote control of a terminal server session?
I copied tsadmin and related file to a windows 8.1 pc and I'm able to see for every terminal server the list of users logged in, but the option "take control" is greyed out... why? is not possible to avoid this block?
Thanks in advance
Davide

Hello, Davide_ita.
Also tried to use RDSM to "Remote Control" user's sessions, but in this thread
Remote Control
with Remote Desktop Services Manager - error Access is denied (Windows Server 2012 R2)
I get the recommendation to use RDP or Remote Assistance.
The quote of
TP []:
Hi,
You cannot remote control a session on a 2012 R2 RDSH server using Remote Desktop Services Manager. You need to use the RDP 8.1 mstsc.exe or the RDS gui in Server Manager on 2012 R2. The command you would use with the RDP 8.1 client would be
this:
mstsc /shadow:<sessionid> /control

Outlook 2013 on terminal server Search failes for all users

we have a small comany with a new Windows 2012 Fileserver and Terminal Server.
Office 2013 is installed and we use Office 365 - Exchange Online as our mailserver.
We use Outlook with the Cached Exchange Mode ON. We have shared our mailboxes with our collegues.
Indexstatus is complete for all the users.
So far the information i have.
I suspect wrong permissions on the Windows Search Folders are the cause of my problems but where can i find the Windows Search Folders which are indexed (and shoot be accesable for the users).

Winnie, thank you for your answer.
1. Make sure indexing is complete. ==> Index is complete
2. Make sure Indexing Options are configured correctly ==> Indexing Options are configured correctly for the administrator, Outlook
isn't configured in de Indexing options for the users (that might be the problem i guess)
3. Make sure Outlook data is included in indexing==>
Outlook Data is included in indexing
See screenshots below:
First screenshot are the Indexing Options as configured for the users, the seconde one are the indexing options for the administrator. I suspect there is my problem, but can't find the solution the solve this for the users.

Microsoft Terminal Server needs Cisco layer of authentication

We are running Microsoft terminal services. We connect to our main office using the Microsoft remote desktop client. We insert the fixed public IP address of our server in the remote desktop client. That remote desktop client then connects to terminal services and the user is queried for a user name and password. We would like to add a Cisco solution that would put an additional query for a Cisco device authenticated username and password before the Microsoft Terminal Server authentication box for user name and passwords appears...Seeking guidance on which Cisco hardware we could purchase for this purchase and what feature of that purchase would be configured to allow for accomplishment of security goal.
thankyou.

Lew: I suggest you post same question in Microsoft Forums.
I am not fully aware how microsoft server will query cisco auth server (ACS for example). But in microsoft forums they might be able to help better.
If they reply with something please share it with us here for general knowledge.

Hi
I think the Network Admin should create an account in Active Directory as well and then adding it to the host server... Otherwise , connect with SQL Authentication.

Move Terminal server licenses to another server

We have one terminal server VM hosted in hyper v server. currently there is a problem with the hyper v server hdd and we might need to rebuild the whole server. We would like to setup a new terminal server on a new server. The existing terminal server is
windows server 2003. After I fresh setup the Windows server 2003 VM in a new server, how do I move the terminal server license to a new server? FYI, we would like to decommission the old terminal server. But we would like to do it in parallel as there are
many users are still accessing to the old terminal server.
Thanks so much.
Regards,
Henry

Hi Henry,
First you need to gather your licensing paperwork, authorization number(s), license number(s), etc. for your existing licenses. This step is critical.
Next install RD Licensing on the replacement 2003 server, Activate it using Terminal Server Licensing (licmgr.exe), then install the TS CALs. If you receive an error when installing the old TS CALs please contact the Clearinghouse and explain
to them you need to install the TS CALs on a new server because the old one is being decommissioned.
How to locate a telephone number for the Microsoft Clearinghouse
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/291795
Once you have confirmed that the old TS CALs are installed on the replacement 2003 TS then make sure your 2003 TS is set to the correct Licensing mode (to match the type of TS CALs) and you have Specified the name of the new RD Licensing server.
You do this in Terminal Services Configuration (tscc.msc) on the replacement terminal server.
As an alternative you could install the existing TS CALs on a newer RD Licensing server such as Server 2008 R2, Server 2012, etc. You still will need to have the authorization number(s), license number(s), etc. for the existing 2003 TS CALs.

Terminal Server Licensing Problems with GPO Security Group License Server

Hello,
I have two fresh installs of W2K12R2.
One is RD Session Host and the other one is the License Server. Everything is fine until I active the GPO Security Group License Server. After that the License Server gives no licenses
to die clients (we have User und Device CALs). TS Licensing Diagnostic’s shows no errors, the number of available licenses is displayed correctly, even the state of GPO Security Group License Server is correctly shown as "active" and die
Membership in the Group "RDS-Endpointserver" is "Yes". Eventlog shows no Errors. Log in on the session host is even possible, maybe because the RDS-Service is in evaluation time.
If the GPO Security Group License Server is disabled again, the server starts to serve licenses as expected.
I don’t know what I can do anymore, never had problems with exact the same setup under W2K8, but with W2K12 is the second time I notice this issue.
Thanks for your ideas,
Andreas

Hi Andreas,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Sorry to inform but there is no official document for server 2012 related to this event, you can go through below article for reference.
You cannot use a security group to add computer accounts to the Terminal Server Computers group. You must add each computer account explicitly. To verify whether an RD Session Host server is allowed to request RDS CALs from the Remote Desktop license server,
you can use the IsSecureAccessAllowed method of Win32_TSLicenseServer class. For more details about this method, click here.
1. License Diagnosis tool returns error "License server <computer name> cannot issue RDS CALs to the Remote Desktop Session Host Server because the 'License server security group' Group
Policy setting is enabled."
2.Control the Issuance of RDS CALs
Note: You should only enable this policy setting when the license server is a member of a domain. You can only add computer accounts for RD Session Host servers to the RDS Endpoint Servers group when the license server is a member of a domain.
Hope it helps!
Thanks,
Dharmesh

Problem with Photoshop hangs/freezing for users on a terminal server

Dear Forum!
I'm having some trouble with Photoshop freezing over a period of ~20 minutes when you (1.) user the eraser with special brushes and (2.) copy and paste material from a PDF to Photoshop. As you might notice by the size of this post i'm getting quite depserate over here and need some help.
A Little background information...
Photoshop CS6 is installed on a terminal server with ~25 Active users where 3 of them are using Photoshop.
The operating system on the server is Windows Server 2012 R2.
There are no additional add-ons just a plain installation of Photoshop in that matter.
The server uses 40-60% of the memory most of the time (mostly a bit less, some times a bit more but never 100%) and 40% of the CPU.
There's enough space free on the disc.
The problem in detail...
There are two occasions where the freezing has occured most of the time. After it hangs for the first time, it will happen everytime you do any of the operations over a period of ~20 minutes and it's Mutual for all users. When it freezes, the whole terminal session freezes but the program i still responding (it's not getting set to "not responding") when viewed from Another user through the task manager. Ending the process as an administrator sometimes work, although from the moment i end he proces it takes about 10-60 seconds Before the program actually Closes and the user gets back Control. The easiest thing to do most of the time is if an administrator forces them to log out.
1. The first occasion is when you use the eraser with a brush that's not standard but manually added. The names of the brush packages used are:
Extacy__Elemental
KKC_Fractal
Kornkid's_Grunge_Set
and the problem is with all brushes inside those packages. The way i evoke the problem is the following:
     1. Start Photoshop
     2. Create new
     3. Fill the background with any color
     4. Select the eraser tool
     5. Change the brush to one of the ones mentioned above
     6. Program freezes
2. The second scenario when the problem occurs is when the users copy something from a PDF to Photoshop. The way i evoke this is:
     1. Open a PDF
     2. Select area and copy it
     3. Open Photoshop
     4. Create new
     5. Paste into Photoshop
     6. Program freezes
Solutions we have tried so far...
I've been working on this for several round now and i'm not entirely sure on what exactly i have done. I will try and do the following solutions once more but i'm pretty sure that i have tried most of them.
Update graphic card drivers.
Resetting all Tools:
     1. Select options for a tool
     2. choose "Reset all Tools"
Resetting presets:
     1. Hold ctrl + shift + alt while Photoshop is starting
     2. select "yes"
Tested if it matters if i have a pen connected or not, which it doesn't.
Removed the special brushes (but it still freezes when copy/paste from PDF)
Removed "save in background" and "automatically save recovery information" options
Updated to latest version.
Turned off OpenGL
Solutions i haven't, but will try...
Reinstall Photoshop
Change font preview size
     1. Go to "type"
     2. select "Font prview size"
     3. select "none"
Delete system font cache
Close all Adobe applications including the Creative Cloud desktop app (if installed).
Navigate to \Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\Appdata\Local
Delete the *FNTCACHE*.DAT or *FontCache*.dat files.

Delete Photoshop font cache
Exit Photoshop and the Creative Cloud desktop app (if installed).
Navigate to the appropriate folder

Hi Mylenium!
Thanks for your reply but since the users work on the terminal server via remote dektop the only data sent through the network is a "Picture" of what is happening on the server. All the operations are handled on and by the server and nothing is executed on the users local machine. Also all files are stored on the server therefore the load on the network is minimum.
We are not the first in the World to run this setup and i know that this is possible to do since i've read about others running PS like this.
Kind Regards,
J. Alm
