Unable to remove WS 2008 RDS 5 User CAL from WS2012 RDS Server

Hi All,
I'm hoping you can assist with this as it's causing me a headache... :(
My client has installed a WS2008 5 user RDS CAL into his 2012 server (im unsure why) and converted it to a 5 device CAL.
He's since sold the licence to a third party as it was a retail package and has asked me to remove the license from the 2012 server.
I've tried the usual methods of removing the RDS role and re-installing and uninstalling the license through the powershell (the command executes successfully but the licenses remain).
Does you know how this can be uninstalled without having to re-install the OS?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I'm assuming there are no other RDS CALs installed on this RD Licensing server. If my assumption is incorrect please let me know before continuing. The below procedure will
delete all installed RDS CALs so only complete the steps if you have the information (authorization number, agreement number, emails, paperwork, etc) on the installed licenses.
In RD Licensing Manager, right-click on the server name and choose Advanced -- Deactivate. After it is finished deactivating close RD Licensing Manager. Open Services.msc and stop Remote Desktop Licensing service. Open windows explorer
and remove all contents that are in the following folder:
C:\Windows\System32\lserver
Back in services.msc, Start Remote Desktop Licensing. Open RD Licensing Manager and Activate/Install RDS CALs if needed.

Possible workaround for: Launch Debugger Error "Unable to connect to the RDS server"

I do not yet have a reproducible case for this. *Sometimes* ColdFusion Builder throws the "Unable to connect to the RDS server" error, when attempting to start a debug session against a remote server. However, "RDS Dataview" and "RDS Fileview" views correctly list the servers and their related data/file, and testing RDS connection result is "Test connection was successful". The workaround is:
1. Login to the ColdFusion Administrator
2. Navigate to "Debugger Settings" page (beneath "Debugging & Logging")
3. Click on "Stop Debugger Server" -or- "Restart Debugger Server"
4. Restart ColdFusion Application Server
Notes:
a) Step #3 must be done via ColdFusion Administrator, not via ColdFusion Admin API (stopLineDebugger()|restartLineDebugger())
b) Step #4 can be done via ColdFusion Administrator -or- ColdFusion Builder
c) Note that there is a CF9 Release Note for Bug #78488: "When a server having "Windows service option" ENABLED is added as a remote server, then Start-Stop-Restart operation cannot be done on it." However, I've found that "Restarting" a remote server, that is running as a Windows service, is possible in ColdFusion Builder (at least this is so on standalone developer edition). Like Bug #78488 says, I am unable to "Stop|Start" a remote server that is running as a Windows service. I'm just mentioning all of this, due to my suggestion in "b", that CF can also be restarted via ColdFusion Builder.
It is interesting that attempts to stop|restart the debugger server, via CF Admin API, do not resolve the issue. So, it seems that the "Stop Debugger Server" and "Restart Debugger Server" buttons, in CF Admin, are doing more than calling the corresponding CF Admin API methods.
Attached is an image of the error.
Just posting all of this as an FYI, in case it helps anyone.
Thanks!,

(OH.. I'm unable to attach images at this time *DOH!* ..well, I'll try to remember to update this post w/ the image, once I see that attachments are allowed.)
I'll try to describe the error message window:
- It is 494x452 pixels
- Title of the window is "Error occurred while launching the Debugger"
- Body content of the window is as follows:
Unable to connect to the RDS server 'ServerNameHere'
Ensure that the server is currently running and that line debugging and RDS are enabled. You may also need to check your RDS connection settings in Eclipse to ensure that they are correct.
Error Message:
-1:Error connecting to JVM for debugging at localhost:5005. Could not attach to the VM at port 5005. You must specify this debugger port in the JVM settings of your application server, for example: -Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=5005. You will also need to make sure that another debugger is not currently connected to the CF JVM at the same port (5005).

How to uninstall RDS user cals from RD licensing manager?

I have installed to many RDS user cals on our RD licens manager by accident.

Downloading RD user cal from Microsoft Volume site

Hello,
I am running across Microsoft Volume site for past 30 mins, but cannot find anything like RD User CAL license.
only thing closet I can see is "WinRemote Desktop SrvsCAL 4.5 w/Application Virt for Term" , is that the same?
I have build a traditional Win 2008R2 terminal server (session host) and no remote app.
What exactly the RD user cal name should look like?
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
You need the authorization number and license number (in the case of Open license) or agreement number for other volume programs like Select, Enterprise, etc. When using the Install Licenses wizard in RD Licensing Manager you will need to
enter these number(s).
If you purchased 2012 RDS CALs and want to install them on a 2008 R2 RD Licensing server then you will need to downgrade them first by contacting the Clearinghouse. Alternatively you may install the 2012 RDS CALs on a 2012 RD Licensing server
(if you have one) and point your 2008 R2 server to it. The 2012 RD Licensing server will automatically handle the downgrading as needed.

Imported User accounts from 10.6 Server not usable

Hello,
I have exported Users and Groups from 10.6 Server and import them using WGM to Lion Server. These users are not usable (for example if you try to login to Webmail or create an e-mail account to Apple Mail), in logs we get:
Mar 29 15:48:02 email dovecot[4311]: auth: Error: od(USERNAME,192.168.11.8): validate response: lookup failed for user: USERNAME
Any solution?
Best regards
Kostas

Hi
You've not said whether the Mail Service is running on your 10.7 Server but did you reset your users' passwords after importing and did you set the appropriate SACLs for those imported users using the Server.App?
WGM is not as effective in 10.7 as it was in 10.6. This is because Apple deprecated it in readiness for Profile Manager. They had to re-introduce it a short time later in a slightly modified form because of the outcry from the US education sector. What this means is you can't really use it confidenctly like before.
FWIW I've found using WGM in conjunction with Server.App and Server Admin works fairly reliably rather than using WGM alone. So what does that mean? Try clearing the users out of WGM and re-import them into the Server.App instead. Define access to services from there and hopefully things should start to work again?
HTH?

Unable to remove Inbox toolbar w/ ctrl panel or from the browser. Help.

Inbox toolbar not listed in add/remove programs so can't uninstall it that way. Also not listed in the tools/add-ons section of the browser so can't uninstall it there either. Google says it can be deleted from the start menu/programs, unbable to find it there either. Are there any utilities I can download to make this toolbar go away? How about the programs that say they can uninstall anything? Any good?

Thanks for the suggestion. I have tried all that - but it makes no difference. Will see if speaking to apple support can help.

Remove Powershell Pinned Item from taskbar for all users in 2008 R2 RDS server

Im trying to remove the Powershell Pinned Item from the taskbar on a 2008 RDS server. I have setup a mandatory porfile from a 2008 SP2 server (because you cannot do this in R2 any more), Check the default user pinned items folder, check the registry for powershell.exe, loaded up the NTUSER.DAT file for default to see if any thing obious was there, tried some logon scripts that are suppose to remove pinned items and posted on several forums. This has to be one of the simplest dumb things i have ever worked on , and its been about a week. So how do i remove it?
P.S.
having the user click un pinn is not a solution
yes i have checked C:\Users\Default\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch

Hi Jeramy,
The default pinned items are created the first time a user logs in. Modifying the default user profile won’t help here.
The easiest option is to set the “Remove pinned programs from the Taskbar” to disable taskbar pinned items altogether. The default pinned items won’t show up, but the user won’t be able to pin anything else either.
If you don't want to disable pinning altogether the solution is a little more complicated. One option is to remove the shortcuts “Accessories\Windows PowerShell\Windows PowerShell.lnk” and “Administrative Tools\Server Manager.lnk” from the common start menu folder. These shortcuts are copied to create the pinned items. If they aren’t present they can’t be pinned. This is not a supported option but it may work.
Another option is to use IStartMenuPinnedList::RemoveFromList in a first run script to remove the pinned items. Not sure how reliable this would be due to the timing of when the default items are added compared to when the script would run.
One other option is to use shell scripting to invoke the pin & unpin verbs on items:
http://blogs.technet.com/deploymentguys/archive/2009/04/08/pin-items-to-the-start-menu-or-windows-7-taskbar-via-script.aspx
This would need to be done when the user first logs in (since unpinning default items in the default user profile won't affect each new user account), but it also need to be timed after Explorer sets up the default pinned items as explained above.
Hope one of these options work for you!

Transferring network user files from Windows Server 2003 to Mac OSX 10.5.8

I'm wondering if any network admins out there have a suggested method of transferring network user files from a Windows Server 2003 to an XServe running 10.5.8?
When we did the file transfer, clicking and dragging, there were a myriad permissions issues that subsequently arose. Surely there is a way to strip permissions off files PRIOR to the transfer?? Maybe not, but I'm wondering how you folks have done it.
We have had nothing but persistent permissions issues since the transfer (i.e. folks who should have access to files, being denied access, including the local server admin!!). This also translates to synch errors for network mobile accounts.
Thanks,

Unable to add or remove iView to role in user interface

Hi,
from last fews days, i am having problem with creation and deletion of ivIews on portal.
I created one iView and added it to the role which already had some iViews before... But the new iView i had added is not shown to user.. it shows me in content administrator that iView is been added..
After which i had restarted my server...after restart it shown the iView to user...now i tried to add one more new iView..but still it shown me the same problem..
I am also unable to remove iView from portal.. i deleted the iView from content administrator..it shows the iView removed from role.... but on user interface this iView link is still seen in detail navigation..
although on clicking it does not show any content for the removed iView..but link is still present...
Hve any one faced this issue before...!!!
regards,
Jigar Oza.

Hi,
did u added the iviews as delta link or copy.
This sometimes happens if you add as direct copy intstead of delata link.
Delete the view and save. After that add as delta link and save.
This may solve your problem.

Unable to remove unused user variables (Captivate 6)

Even after removing all Advanced Actions, and every object on a slide, and every asset in the project Library, I'm still unable to remove any user variables. CPT prompts me that the variable is still in use; it's not.
Is this a known issue? What's going on here? Any workarounds?
Copying-and-pasting slides to a new project loses all the Advanced Actions and in-use user variables, so that's not an option.
For now, I'm just living with a cluttered collection of unused variables, but this is of course less than optimal.

Thank you, Lily. Your tip got me part way there -- I was able to remove some of the variables. There are still some legacy user variables that I'm unable to remove -- CPT still thinks they are in use; they aren't. Bah! I suspect there is some sort of file corruption at work.
Per your thought, I'm going to put in a feature request for a Usage function for variables. Great idea.

Unable to remove mozilla folder from C:\Users\Username\Appdata\

We're trying to remove Firefox as its messing with the roaming profiles on the server,
we're unable to remove the following folders
c:\program files (x86)\mozilla firefox
c:\users\username\appdata\mozilla,
error message says need permission from administrators (we're logged in as full domain administrator)

The problem lies in the administration patches. Somewhere one or more of the security updates was missed or ignored. The admin pointers to the permissions on the stack in the HAL layer are pointing to a NULL field. This is a common problem with MS(c) based OS's. Solutions: (1) Remove and Re-apply security updates in order. (2) reload and allow the OS' to catch all the updates. (3) Scream at MS(c) until they tell you what update you missed.

2008 RDS user cal License moving to 2012 server

Hello ,
We have moved the 2008 RDS User Cal Volume License to the 2012 server .
In the RDS license Manager it is showing usage is showing as Zero even though users are using the service.
It is issuing the temporary license.
Does anyone have document how to follow the migrations process from 2008 RDS User Cal Volume License to the 2012 server.
please provide the resolutions.

Hi,
Please describe in more detail you current server configuration and what steps you have performed so far.
1. Are the users logging on to a Server 2008 R2 Remote Desktop Session Host (RDSH) server, or Server 2012/2012 R2 RDSH server? If the RDSH server is 2012/2012 R2 then 2012 RDS CALs are required. Additionally you need to configure the
licensing mode of the 2012 RDSH server to be Per User. From your description it sounds like it is set to Per Device. The licensing mode is set in the RDS deployment properties: Server Manager -- RDS -- Overview -- Deployment Overview -- Tasks --
Edit Deployment Properties -- RD Licensing tab.
2. If the users are logging on to a Server 2008 R2 RDSH server, did you set its licensing mode to Per User and point it to the new 2012 RD Licensing server? You can do this by logging on to the RDSH as an admin and opening RD Session Host Configuration
(tsconfig.msc) or by setting the appropriate group policy.
Thanks.
