When I try to print using Windows 2008 print server I have to use the generic print drivers supplied. If I use the OEM driver the printer locks up. I have tried a HP 4 plus and a Canon Copier.

A number of vendor drivers written for OS X cannot be used when connecting via SMB to a printer that is shared by Windows. This is due to limitations of the driver.
In some cases, if you were to enable the LPD Print Service in Windows, you can connect to the share using the same syntax as SMB but on the Mac you would use the LPD as the protocol.
If you can reply with the brand and model of printer you have then we may be able to provide more information.

Slowness when connecting to RemoteApp configured in Windows 2008 R2 Server using RDP file

Dear All,
When connecting to a RemoteApp configured in Windows 2008 R2 with less privileged user it takes ~20 seconds to connect.
Initial connection to
application takes about 20-30 seconds and once loaded, subsequent RemoteApp connection takes
2-3 seconds. i.e. if there is a disconnected session available in the server it connects quickly otherwise it takes long time.
I am seeing this issue with Windows 2008 Server, when I connect to a Windows 2012 Server RemoteApp gets
connected quickly. Also if I try with higher privileged user (like RemoteAdmin) connection is quick. The user I am trying is having lot of group policies set to limit user access to file system, desktop and registries.
If I keep UAC settings to minimal level connection happens quickly(i.e. solves this issue). But I am
not supposed to change the server UAC setting. It seems this has something to do with the list of group policies set for the user.
Any suggestion to avoid this first time connection delay for less privileged users for connecting to RemoteApp (in Windows 2008 Server).
Thanks

Hi Bachu,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
First of all, if you are using RD Gateway serve then I would like you to
uncheck the “Bypass RD Gateway server for local address” under RemoteApp Manager Checkbox and notify the result.
Configure Remote Desktop Gateway Settings
Also like you to update the RDP client version to RDP 8.1 and then check the result. In addition,
I will suggest you to check that you have proper certificate in place. You can enable certificate revocation checking on RD Gateway client. Might due to this, you are facing issue. Please notify that you find any certificate related warning. Refer below article
for information.
How to Enable Certificate Revocation Checking on a Remote Desktop Gateway Client
Hope it helps!
Thanks.

Wyse Thin client not connecting to Windows 2008 R2 server

Configuration
SBS 2011 Server
Windows 2008 R2 server with Remote Desktop Services installed, License Manager installed.
WYSE WT3125SE thin clients with Windows CE 5
I setup the Windows 2008 with Remote Desktop Services and was able to successfully connect the Thin client. Then I installed the License Manger and applied my Open license using User Cals. Was able to login. Next day I get the following
error-"Because of a security error, the client could not connect to the remote computer. Verify that you are logged onto the network and then try connecting again" I still can connect fine from other machines even Windows Home Ed.
I remove license server and still was unable to connect. Built a second Windows 2008 R2 server with RDS on it. Was able to connect without issue. Pointed it to the first RDS server license manager and have still been able to connect with
the Thin Client. The thin client can rdp to the SBS server without issue in admin mode, can connect to RDS2 server but not RDS1 with the license manger. So my issue is with the license and so my question is what is it with the license server
running on that server that is keeping thin client from connecting. I even did a reload of RDS1 and tested connecting throughout the process and it worked up until I applied the license and then it stops. And then if I uninstall the license, rds, remove
from domain still not able to connect. Any help would be appreciated.

We had the same problem with older terminals after cloning a 2008R2 rds server and sysprep it.
The original rds server worked fine but when the old terminals connect to the new 1 they come up with the error : Because
of a security error, the client could not connect to the remote computer. Verify that you are logged onto the network and then try connecting again"
After reading all of the postings about this issue and tried the reactivate solution of the license server,
I was sure that it had something to do with the x509 certificates that are generated the first time you connect to a valid license server.
What I did, I installed a new license server activate it but did not install licenses on it.
I pointed the defective rds server to the newly installed license server and deleted the following registry keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\RCM
Certificate
X509 Certificate
X509 Certificate ID
X509 Certificate2
Then reboot.
After the reboot all old terminals can connect fine again. As final step I pointed the rds server to the same license server as the other ones,
reboot and all worked fine.
So conclusion is that when you pont a rds server to a license server that has the new type of licenses on it it will generate the wrong x509 certificates
that are not supported by the older clients, by pointing it first to 1 without any rds calls on it, it generates the older x509 certificates which are compatible with the older rdp clients then the switch to new license server will then not regenerate the
x509 certs so it keeps working.
I hope this helps someone
This issue was driving me crazy so very happy that it is resolved now

Installing CR VS2010 on Windows 2008 Core Server

Hello,
We are attempting to re-build our web servers and reduce their footprint. In this effort we have chosen to use Windows 2008 Core Server with all of the web server installation features. In addition we upgraded our application to CR for VS2010 after finding that it supported Windows Server 2008. However, while trying to deploy the MSI packages to the server we are encountering the following error.

Do we need to run the full version of Windows Server 2008 for this to work? I have installed the required VC++ run-time dependencies and still no luck.

Can't open Firefox. When I try to open, a window pops saying "Close Firefox" and "A copy of Firefox is already open. Only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time.", and doesn't allow the application to open.

Came home to find computer restarted, which I assume is an automatic Firefox update.

I'm unable to open the program at this time, lots of critical work info stored there - please help. Thx.

How to set up fax solution using Windows 2008 R2 Fax server role and Exchange 2007

Hello,
I don't know if this is the right forum to post this but since it is related to Exchange I thought it might be. If this is not the right place, please direct me to the forum where my post would be more appropriate.
I'm looking to set up a Fax solution for the company that I work for as we are moving away from analog phone lines to VoIP using SIP. My original thought was to set up a Windows 2008 R2 server with Fax server role installed and have it route the fax message
to Exchange 2007 SP3 so the fax message can be delivered to each user's inbox. I was reading a little bit on the Windows Fax server role and from what I saw it looks like it can only route fax messages to one email address. This not ideal for my company. Is
there a way to have the fax server role route the email to each user's inbox? If so, how can I achieve this?
How can implement this for this sending outgoing faxes as well?
I don't know if this releveant or not but I will be using Asterisk as a media gateway between our SIP trunks and the Windows Fax server.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Slow network printing on Windows 2008 Server

Hi,
We are just testing/configuring a Windows 2008 (x64) server to replace an aging Windows 2000 file & print server.
I have added the print services role and added a network TCP/IP printer (a HP Laserjet 2200).
When I print to this printer from either the server (via print test page) or from a client, it takes around 30 seconds before the print will start to print. On our Windows 2000 server, this would print immediately.
I have insalled the HP 2200 driver that came with Windows 2008.
Anyone any ideas where to find the problem causing the delay?
Thanks,
Kenny

Hello,
I have done some research and I find firewall component of the antivirus software such as Mcafee might cause similar network delay issues.
If you have installed AV softwares on Windows Server 2008, please try uninstalling it temperately and test whether this will make any difference.
Moreover, You could also try disabling TCP Chimney Offload, RSS, Receive Window Auto-Tuning Level on Windows Server 2008 one by one to see whether it makes any difference.
To disable TCP Chimney Offload, follow these steps:
a. Use administrative credentials to open a command prompt.
b. At the command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:
       netsh int tcp set global chimney=disabled
To disable RSS, follow these steps:
a. Use administrative credentials to open a command prompt.
b. At the command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:
       netsh int tcp set global RSS=disabled
To disable 'Receive Window Auto-Tuning Level', follow these steps: :
a. Use administrative credentials to open a command prompt.
b. At the command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:
       netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled
I hope this helps. Thanks.

OS X Leopard and Windows 2008 file server mount_smbfs

Hello
I am unable to use the command mount_smbfs to mount a share on a Windows 2008 file server in OS X 10.5.8 Leopard.
Here is what I am trying to do:
I have a Mac Mini running OS X 10.5.8 that is joined to a Windows 2003 Active Directory domain. I also have a stand alone Windows file server running Windows Server 2008.
I want to mount a share on the Windows 2008 file Server using the command line and not Finder. I do have a reason for wanting to do this which I wont bore you with.
On the Mac Mini, I log in with an Domain account that has permission to access the file shares on the Windows 2008 file server. In Terminal I do the following:
cd /Users/username
mkdir mountpoint
mount_smbfs //windows2008server/fileshare /Users/username/mountpoint
This command should mount the share "fileshare" hosted on server "windows2008server" in the folder "mountpoint" on the Mac Mini.
Here is the problem:
When I execute this command, I get:
Password: so I put in my password
then I get:
mount_smbfs: mount error: /Users/username/mountpoint: Broken pipe
Analysis of the problem:
I tried exactly the same commands to mount a share on a Windows 2003 file server. I am not asked for my password and the share mounts perfectly. I also tried the same command in OS X 10.6 to mount a share on a Windows 2008 file server, again, I was not asked for my password and the share mounted perfectly.
So the problem is only mounting Windows 2008 file shares using mount_smbfs in OS X 10.5.8. I am not sure quite what is going wrong here, as the Mac is joined to the domain, it is granted a Kerberos ticket so should not be asking for my password. Is this a known bug in OS X 10.5? Is there a fix/workaround for it?
Many thanks
Richard.

Not sure what user the mount command defaults to. You may want to specify your user name in the mount command (you can also specify the password). Try using this:
mount_smbfs //username@windows2008server/fileshare /User/username/mountpoint
Of course substituting the Windows 2008 account name you are mounting with for the username.
Cheers,
Dave

Windows 2008 R2 Server not showing update history and not detecting new updates

Hi Sirs,
We have a Windows 2008 R2 server which is showing an empty windows update history, and is not detecting new updates from the WSUS server. It says that the windows is up to date, no error when trying to detect new updates, but I doubt it because when I checked
the installed updates menu, it shows that that the most recent update date installed was last 2013, it just stop detecting and installing updates. I've already tried the ff workarounds but to no avail:
1. restart wuauserv and bits service
2. rename/delete the software distribution folder
3. reinstalled the update agent/restarted the server
4. deleted the susclientid on the registry
Thanks in advanced for your help.
here's the windowsupdate.log:

No Service Pack 1 installed. Does this mean that no updates will be detected if SP1 is not installed? thanks
That's exactly what that means!
Updates have not been available for Windows Server 2008 R2 *RTM* systems since April, 2013.

I bought and downloaded some music off of the internet on my laptop that uses Windows 8. How can I get my music to open automatically in my itunes instead of opening in the music app (the orange sqaure with headphones)? Currently I have had to often downloads and sift through all my files to find the ones I want to open into itunes, and it's irritating.

Media is only where the user puts it.
Installing iTunes does not and has never caused media to magically appear on the computer.
Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer (or backup of the old computer) to the new computer.

Using Windows 2008 R2 RD Session Hosts in Windows 2012 RD Deployments

Just a couple of observations from our attempt to deploy Windows 2008 R2 RD Session Hosts as part of a Windows 2012 RD Deployment. Hopefully these save someone the angst of not finding answers in other documentation.
1. Our first hurdle was trying to add a Windows 2008 R2 server (RD02) as a Session Host in the Remote Desktop Services area in Server Manager on our Windows 2012 RD Deployment server (RDCB01), which had the Connection Broker, Web Access and Session
Host role services installed. After some side-tracking through AD issues, we eventually discovered that we had to manually add RD02 to the list of servers to manage in Server Manager on RDCB01. Then it was visible and could be selected.
2. Now that we could, we tried to actually add the RD02 Windows 2008 R2 Session Host to the 2012 Deployment. This failed the previously unheard of compatibility tests with the error "Compatibility check failed" "The server is not running at least {0}". A
list of requirements is shown:
You will not be able to proceed with the installation unless ALL the following criteria are met:
The server must be available by using Windows PowerShell remotely.
The server must be running at least Windows Server 2012.
The currently logged on user must be a member of the local Administrators group on the server.
The server must not have a pending start.
We were also concerned that we could not change many of the properties of Published Applications on our 2012 Publishing server. In our case changing an icon was critical for user acceptance to distinguish between application functions.
It seems RDS is an all or nothing approach between 208 R2 and 2012 versions. The only thing we were able to get going in time was some limited Published Application capability.
I agree with other posters in their assessments of wholesale changes to RDS in 2012, and a lack of readily available definitive information.

Hi,
It seems that no official documents suggest that 2008 r2 could be involved with the 2012 rds infra.Even on the server 08 and 08r2,i don't suggest mixing them for potential incompatibility.
Any further discussions about this issue are welcomed here for all of you.

Two Asa Two Isp and Windows 2008 R2 Server

Hello Everybody ,
If you can support my issue , I do appreciate a lot.
First of all thanks a lot for your interest ..
Here is my issue :
I have two Isp Connection ( 1 metro Eth Connection and 1 Ghdsl Connection )
1) Asa 5505 (Version 8.0(5)) is for the 1.st Isp Connection
Windows 2008 R2 server is up and running as Web Server on this ASA 5505 config.
As:
(static (inside,outside) mywebsrv.mycompany.com 192.168.5.5 netmask 255.255.255.255
And Ipconfig of W2008Srv is 192.168.5.5 255.255.255.0 192.168.5.1 (Gateway ASA 5505)
2) Asa 5510 (Version 8.0(5)) is for the 2.nd Isp Connection
Windows 2003 R2 server is up and running as Ftp Server on this ASA 5510 config.
As:
(static (inside,outside) myftpsrv.mycompany.com 192.168.50.10 netmask 255.255.255.255
And Ipconfig of W2003Srv is 192.168.50.10 255.255.255.0 192.168.50.1 (Gateway ASA 5510)
Here is my question :
I need to move my Ftp server (due to old hardware + old server issues )
into the Windows 2008 R2 Server ( HP DL Server with 4 Nic).
If I conect my Asa 5510 to the second nic of Windows 2008 R2 Server.
and give an ip address as 192.168.50.10 255.255.255.0
what should be the gateway Ip address : ?
Before I go ahead and implement :
a) What do I need to do on the Windows 2008 R2 Server
as persistent route adds with different metrics
b) Any config adds or changes on Asa 5505 and ASA 5510 regarding static routes with
different metric and so on ...
Many thanks in advance for your support .

If you do that, the second interface will work as a failsafe for the first NIC.
As far as i know, you won't be able to route traffic based on the type of traffic nor do load-balancing between the interfaces.
I guess the best approach will be to get a newer server and use it as a replacement for the one running 2003 R2.

When I try to sync my mobile browser to my computer browser, It says my E-mail address is already in use. Then when I tried to sign in under that E-mail address, it says the password or user name is incorrect. I already reset the password and tried again, still with no success.

If you are trying to '''add a new device''' to your Sync account, see this: <br />

'''Pair a Device''' is usually the best way of adding a mobile device to a Firefox account.

Got exception when running CrystalReportViewer on 64 bit Windows 2008

We have a client/server app built with c#, .NET2, CR2008 .net runtime SP2, and VS2008. The smart client hosts a CrystalReportViewer, which consumes the ServerFileReportService.
The client on XP, 2003, Vista, and 32 bit Windows 2008 works fine with 32 bit Windows 2008/2003 server. But the client on 64 bit Windows 2008 throws the following exception,

Hi Jonathan,
Currently the .NET solution contains over 70 assemblies, and only one assembly has reference to CR2008 .Net runtime SP2. All the 70 projects for each assemblies are compiled with Platform Target set to Any CPU. We build an installer with InstallShield, which deploys the runtime by CRRuntime_12_2_mlb.msi.
If we resolve all the parameters, and donu2019t prompt user for the parameters, then the same report runs fine on 64-bit Window 2008. Otherwise we always get the error on prompting parameters.
We resolved the issue by recompiling the exe with Platform Target set to (x86). And all the 70 assemblies are still compiled with Any CPU.
Regards,
Frank

When I try to print using Windows 2008 print server I have to use the generic print drivers supplied. If I use the OEM driver the printer locks up. I have tried a HP 4 plus and a Canon Copier.
