Terminal Services Role and Oracle

Hi all,
In an unsupervised moment, Oracle 9i was installed on a Windows 2003 server with Terminal Services (application mode) installed.
Now I want to remove the TS role from the 2003 server but it warns that I have to reinstall all software. I can imagine this warning is certainly useful for Microsoft Office since it uses specific MST transform files for installing in this multi-user environment.
Is it possible to break my Oracle installation when removing the TS server role? Has anyone attempted this before?
Best Regards
Wim

Hi Tom,
Thanks for your post.
If I understand correctly, the current status is that you have added Domain Admins and Bosses groups to the local Administrators group on all Windows XP workstations, Windows Server 2003 terminal server, and the domain controllers. You can log onto the Windows XP workstations and the Terminal server via RDP with a user that is a member of the Bosses group. However, you cannot log onto the domain controllers with the same user. If there is anything I have misunderstood, please feel free to let me know.
To better understand the issue, I suggest that you perform the following steps to check if the permission is configured correctly:
1.    Please run rsop.msc to open the Resultant Set of Policy console on the domain controller.
2.    Navigate to Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\User Rights Assignment
3.    Verify that the Administrators group is added to the policy Allow log on through Terminal Services.
If the group is not added to the policy or the setting is not correct, please edit the Default Domain Controller Policy GPO to correct the settings.
Thanks.

  • Windows 2008 R2 Terminal Services, ODBC and Oracle 10.2.0.5 32-bit client

    Hi All,
    I am setting up an application to work under windows 2008 R2 terminal services/Citrix XenApp which is 32bit. This application uses ODBC connections and not relying directly on TNSName for connection resolution.
    I installed 10.2.0.3 and patched to 10.2.0.5, and when trying to create an ODBC connection I only see "junk" in the connections list for TNS Server Name without regard to what exists in the TNSNAME.ORA file.
    We have JDE on the same server which uses TNSNAMES and work fine, so I don't think it is Oracle client related directly, but I've not seen this before.
    Has anyone seen this before and know how to resolve?

  • Viewing "This PC" Devices and Drives when connected through a Terminal Services connection

    Greetings,  [long-time listener, first time caller]
    I am a service technician who remotely logs into customer servers using terminal services.  I am accessing systems around the globe.  I regularly need to move files from my local system to the customer system, so I always connect with my local
    (client) drives. 
    A feature of Windows Server 2012 R2 drives me insane.  I use the good old "[Windows] + e" Shortcut to bring up the file explorer.  It displays "This PC".  It displays both the server's local volumes and \\tsclient\
    volumes by name and also waits to display the information until it can get volume information from the terminal service drives.
    The end result is that:
    1) The Devices and Drives display is delayed by 5 to 10 seconds while it gets volume data for the network drives and
    2) The drives I care about, the customer's local drives, are displayed AFTER the The Terminal Services drives AND Server-side removable storage.
    Am I missing a way to display the networked devices separately?  This is extremely annoying.  It wastes my time and displays items illogically.
    I know there are third party apps that can help (OldNewExplorer).  But they are not an option for me.
    [Modified on 2014.11.07]  I have attached a screenshot of the way it looks in Windows Server 2012.
    Thank you

    Hi,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
    From your description it seems that local drive redirection is not working. For this please check whether drive redirection is enabled on server side and whether any group policy is not set to disallow the client drive redirection. Check on domain controller
    that the 'Default Domain policy" - 'Do not allow drive redirection' was disabled.
    Hope it helps!
    Thanks.

  • Problem Launching BPC for Excel in Terminal Services/Citrix Environment

    Hello.
    We are having an issue launching BPC in our terminal services/citrix environment. This is not the main way that users will be accessing BPC, but we plan to have it available for off-hours/off-site use.
    Here are details on our environment.
    1) BPC version: 5.0.502 (5.1, SP3, patch 4)
    2) Env: 1 web/app server, 1 database server
    3) SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition, SP2
    4) Problem occurs sporadically for any user.
    In some instances, launching BPC for Excel does not bring up the connection wizard, instead, an error message displays saying "Object Variable is not set". We then logoff, delete the terminal services profile, and logon again, forcing the creation of a new terminal services profile, and BPC for Excel will launch the connection wizard as expected. So it seems that the terminal services profile sometimes gets corrupted. Does someone know which Windows registry key would cause this situation so we can determine the root problem? Deleting the profile is not a practical permanent solution. This is only an issue in terminal services/citrix, no other environment.
    I opened this with support, but they said it's my problem. I'd appreciate any ideas to solve this. Thanks, Nancy

    Hello,
    I have exactly the same problem too (Citrix / BPC 7.0M SP6 Client).
    Do you have a solution regarding this issue ?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Help removing Distributed Scan Server Service/Role

    Hey,
    I have this Role/Service enabled on one of our DC's that acting as a Printer Management Server, There's always a red X under Mange my Server under Print and Document Services.
    I figured it be a no brainer, and I would just remove it since the red X indicates that the service is down, and we never use it so I don't see why its even installed. However when I goto remove the role, it asks for a reboot and then says it fails and reverts
    the changes, and then reboots and then it auto tries again, and does the loop till the third time and windows noticed that it failed to remove the service and finally go back to normal boot.
    Whats causing this, and what can I do to trouble shoot this issue? I have no idea where to start on this one? I couldn't find anything from googling "remove distributed Scan Server service" just kept bringing up how to install.. hahah
    Thoughts? Thanks

    Kool, Havin to clean up the old systems admins bazar setup is challenging. So Here's my latest findings.
    No related logs under event viewer system logs...
    Can specify domain account when configuring the scan service and can get it to start.
    dism states removing feature then requires reboot, as does using server manager..
    after reboot ... Configuring Windows Features ... 100%
    Failed configuring features, reverting changes...
    ALT + CTRL + Del to log in
    system does a reboot (can't even log in)
    and the process repeats... over n over 3 time stops tryin to configure feature and allows me to log in. Feature disabled and still installed.
    The best thing I found I could do is select preferences beside the services roles, and uncheck the monitor checkbox and that removes the red warning X when the service is stopped. So my only option now is to let it sit and linger in the DC for the rest of
    its life until I build a new DC sometime in the future.
    Thanks for all your help it was worth a shot. I still never found out how to open/look through CBS.log
    Just Note don't ever remove a feature through server manager, and before the restart run the dism remove command... it went into a repeated configure routine, and just got stuck saying configuring of windows feature failed, attempting to retry... which I never
    seen before, and since I didn't have all night for this server to come back, I forced it for a reset, and it went through the normal failure routine and I was able to log in.... scary....

  • Redirect Printer is not working in windows 2008 R2 Server( Server Running as AD and Terminal Service(both role in single server))

    What Microsoft can say about the issue;
    Thanks & Regards,

    Have you checked the Print Service log in event viewer?
    Here's How.
    I have the Microsoft XPS driver on my clients, so I use that fact to my advantage below.
    Click Start Button/Administrative Tools/Remote Desktop Services/Remote Desktop Services Manager on the RDSH server
    Click the Sessions tab.  PC’s are listed Under Client Name by their computer name.  Take Note of the corresponding
    ID.  We will use this to locate the Printer information in the Event Log.  
    In the Event Log open Application and Services Logs/Microsoft/Windows/Print Service/Admin/ and Find the Event ID 823 entry that has the corresponding ID from the sessions tab you previously noted.  
    This Event Log Entry is created at Logon and you can only get the session ID when they are logged in.
    This tells you what client printer was mapped for the client.  The name that appears is the name of the Printer that was set on the client when the printer was installed.
    See if you see any errors here.
    If you see Event Id 823 with the following message “The default printer was changed to Microsoft XPS Document Writer,winspool,Ne00:. See the event user data for context information.”  Twice in a row with no other messages in between, and the first occurs
    at the time the user logged in, then their printer was not properly redirected.
    You see the Microsoft XPS driver mapped for each session prior to Easy Print redirecting the client machine’s Default Printer.
    Since your printer is the HP 1020 I would bet the driver on the client does not work with Easyprint.  I would try the  the HP Universal Print Driver or the driver for a printer that is very close, like the HP 1018.
    Thanks,

  • Role based oracle adf security and filtering data

    while oracle adf security looks great its only role based... does anyone know of any resources describing an architecture where this is used in addition to filtering of data based on say, organization?
    it seems that oracle adf security is not really geared towards a self service app where administrative users have a security interface as part of the application where they can assign roles and associate users to entities for the further filtering of data...

    Hi,
    it seems that oracle adf security is not really geared towards a self service app where administrative users have a security interface as part of the application where they can assign roles and associate users to entities for the further filtering of data...
    ADF Security is a JAAS based security implementation to protect resources (like entities). It is nota security provider like OPSS or OID which you can use for user provisioning and self service (if you code against the IDM APIs). ADF Security only checks for whether a user is authenticated and if the user has the permission to perform a task.
    However, you can use groovy to access the security context from Groovy, which allows you to add the authenticated username to a query - for example to filter recrds out that match the username in one of its attributes.
    For example, you could create a ViewCriteria that for example filters the query by a specific attribute. Say that managers can see data starting from department 10 whereas employees can see data starting from department 100. The ViewCriteria would reference a bind variable with the following default setting
    adf.context.securityContext.isUserInRole('manager')? 10 : 100

  • Crystal Report and Terminal Service 2008 (registry trouble ?)

    Hi to everyone,
    I develop an account software that use Crystal Report to obtain reporting capabilities. My software supports three runtimes of Crystal Reports: release 8, release 9 and release XI.
    The user can configure the application and choose which to use.
    Some installations (of our customers) use Terminal Server features: the application is installed on the host pc (usually Windows Server 2003), and the clients (running XP) connect to the host and use the software via Terminal Service, and all works fine.
    Recently one customer of ours has set up a Windows Server 2008, and troubles began ! ... the Crystal Reports runtime failed to function. Let me try to explain the scenarioes:
    - Host PC with Terminal Service 2008
    - User A on a PC with Windows XP
    - User B on a PC with Windows XP
    scenario 1, my application uses Cristal Report Runtimes XI
    User A and B can correctly install the runtimes.
    Both of the user cannot print reports due to a failure instantiatìing the COM components of Crystal Report.
    scenario 2, my application uses Cristal Report Runtimes 9 ... the most funny
    User A connect to the host, install the runtimes and start to use the application. All works fine.
    User B connect to the host, install the runtimes and start to use the application. User B can use the application (and print reports) but suddenly the User A failed to print (failure instantiatìing the COM components of Crystal Report).
    Well ... User A reinstall Crystal Reports library and newly register COM components, and the application newly works fine (and print reports correctly) ... but User B suddenly stop printing reports (the same error).
    User B reinstall Crystal Reports library and newly register COM components, and the application newly works fine (and print reports correctly) ... but User A suddenly stop printing reports (the same error) ... and so on.
    scenario 3, my application uses Cristal Report Runtimes 8
    User A and User B can correctly install the runtimes and the software works fine !
    Very funny beacuse ver. 8 of Crystal Reports Runtime are quite old, but they works properly instead of rel. XI (more recent) that doesn't work at all !
    Crystal Report runtimes use heavily Windows Registry, and setting up those runtimes require a lot of registry update (due to COM interfaces); maybe there is some registry issue/trouble that scramble Crystal Report runtimes configuration ... the scenario 2 is quite bizarre and counfuse me !
    Shall I need to configure some setting on Terminal Service 2008 ?
    any idea ? thank you very much.

  • Windows 2012 R2 Active Directory Domain Services and Remote Desktop services Role on the same server.

    Findings: 
    Currently, Windows 2012 R2   AD DS role and RDS With Broker services can only seem to coexist properly in a new domain not an existing domain. Any attempt to add to an existing domain causes internal database user access denied issues and any attempt to
    adjust rights and circumvent is dubious at best.
    The escalation technician said it best. Out of 50 clients that want to do this, they end up not being able to help 5 right off the bat for whatever reason. As for the other 40 they might be able to help by running reports, adjusting rights and trying to add
    the roles until it works.  This can end up being a 20 day process. Basically they are playing whack-a-mole with user rights and permissions until something sticks.
    We tried creating an OU where any other domain policies would not be inherited to see if that was the issue, a fresh install with different sequence of adding the Roles, no effect.
    Given the errors I witnessed when running procmon and then trying to add the roles, the NT System and the Windows Internal database user had access denied issues on 100+ registry keys when trying to add the roles. After that the system is not behaving normally.
    The errors displayed almost mirror the errors that would occur on Windows 2012 when those two roles would be added which of course is officially NOT supported on that system.
    This blog needs serious revision:
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/rds/archive/2013/07/09/what-s-new-in-remote-desktop-services-for-windows-server-2012-r2.aspx
    This is the excerpt from that blog: Single server RDS deployment including Active Directory. We now support running our RD Connection Broker role service on the same physical instance as an Active Directory Domain Controller.  In addition, we published
    guidelines for how RD Session Host could be used without the RD Connection Broker.
    Microsoft Support was curteous and helpful and they were the ones who advised cutting our losses, which mirrored my hunch after seeing what was transpiring in the system.  They refunded my money for the support call. 
    For me, it was an opportunity to find out if there was any way to configure Windows 2012 R2 in the Same manner that it was setup as Windows 2008 R2 and lay that to rest. The coexistence is poorly implemented. It is as if there was a reaction from all the deprecation
    of bread and butter features such as shadowing in TS and the coexistence of AD DS and RDS to where those features were re-added haphazardly. (I have no complaints on shadowing on Windows 2012 R2 it works, just do not like having to go to server manager to
    use it).
    I opted for virtualizing the Domain controller to eliminate the incompatibility issues and that is what I will be doing from now on. I found free solutions for backing up and reporting for virtual machines as well as the suggested procedures for configruing
    a Domain controller as a virtual machine on a Hyper-V environment and I will be sticking to those. Thus far the setup has been operational.
    I am not allergic to virtualization, but for really small setups it adds additional time and considerations but if that is how it has to be done, so be it. Windows 2008 R2 days are numbered and since we can usually squeeze 5-7 years on quality server equipment,
    buying a Windows 2008 R2 setup now is a borderline disservice in my opinion.
    Hopefully someone finds this useful and saves some time.

    Hi,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
    Do you need any other assistance?
    Based on your description, you are describing your story of successfully implementing RDS server with AD role and more regarding all RDS related scenario. For shadowing feature, you can use with command also. Below is the syntax to shadow a session.
    mstsc /v:<ServerName> /shadow:<SessionID>
    Hope it helps!
    Thanks.

  • Windows 2000 Advanced Server Service Pack 2 and Oracle 8.1

    Hy,
    I've got Oracle 8.1.6 instaled over an Windows 2000 Advanced Server user as a web server. Yesterday I updated it with the service pack 2 for windows 2000.
    When I restarted the server after the install, the Oracle database services didn't start. They stay "Starting" but didn't finish to start. I tried to start them again but they were locked. I couldn't stop/restart them.
    I had to uninstall the SP2. Then it works OK.
    Is there any known problem with Oracle 8.1.6 and the SP2?
    Thanks

    When Oracle installs itself, it usually replaces one or more Windows system files with its own versions. Your SP2 installation probably replaced those files with originals and Oracle got confused.
    The only solution I can think of is to install all the necessary SPs first and then Oracle (when possible).

  • Oracle JAAS with roles from database tables and Oracle SSO integration

    I have the following requirement for user authentication and authorization. The applications are build using ADF Faces and BC4J. User authentication should be done using Oracle SSO. User roles and functions will be stored in custom tables. These roles will be used on ADF application pages to restrict access to the UI components on a page. Example: User will "Employee" role cannot create a new employee; however, user with "HR" role can create a new employee.
    In this case, "Create" button will be visible on the ADF page.
    1. How can we use Oracle JAAS to use custom tables for roles instead of using flat XML files?
    2. How does ADF applications use these roles to restrict components on a page?
    3. For authentication, I guess we should be able to use SSO and integrate with Oracle JAAS?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    I can give you the answers to 1 and 2 but haven't tried 3.
    1) Oracle OC4J since 10.1.3.1 has a database LoginModule that is explained in the OC4J security guide.
    I have a how-to document in review that will be published probaby next week and that explains how to set this LogiNModule up for JDeveloper and stand alone OC4J, though the OC4J documentation is pretty good as well
    http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B32110_01/web.1013/b28957/loginmod.htm#BABCDDAI
    2) Create a managed bean with boolan methods like isUserManager, isUserEmployee, isUserTechnician etc. In this methods check for the security role on teh request object's isUserInRole() method. Then access this methods from the disabled or rendered property using ExpressionLanguage
    A custom Login ModuleDoesn't use Oracle JAAS but plugs into it. So I am not sure if SSO would work with this because the custom LoginModule wouldn't get a username password pair but only a username that it has to trust.

  • Microsoft SQL 2005, Terminal Services and Tiger

    We found a great application we need to use at work. Unfortunately, it runs only on Windows. We will need to run it on a Windows server, running SQL Server 2005, and Macs interacting with it using MS Terminal Server. At least that is what someone at Dell said. This ends up being a huge and complicated purchase for us.
    All this is totally foreign to me. I set up our Mac network, using OSX Server 10.2, migrating up to 10.4. We have 16 computers on the network, and it runs reasonably well. I did not need months of training to set it up. There are many things I do not understand and features that I have zero idea about...but for email, web, ftp and application serving, it works well.
    We have 13 Macs, 2 Windows boxes and one UNIX box on the network.
    Has anyone used SQL 2005? Has anyone had to connect thru Terminal Services to a Windows Server?

    Hi John!
    Using Terminal Services on a Windows server is common in corporate environments and solves a lot of issues where Macs can't run Windows-only software.
    Since the Windows server will be the only Windows machine on your network and you only need it for a specialized purpose, you can probably get by with purchasing Windows Small Business Server Premium, which comes with a SQL Server. You'll have to ask the vendor if this version will work with their product. See this link on Microsoft's website http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/sbs/default.mspx.
    Many third party database applications will facilitate the setup of the datbase with the SQL server, but they won't support the SQL software and its security. I'd advise hiring a contractor to help with the installation and setting up a backup (preferably someone that can become familiar with your environment and provide ongoing support).
    Hope this helps! bill
