Windows 2008 R2 Terminal Server.

Hi,
I was wondering about running Adobe Acrobat Std X (10) on a Windows 2008 R2 Terminal Server for two users. Anyone else that have any experience with this? Best solution?
Best regards
Vegard

Although Server 2008 R2 is a supported install platform, you'll have to be extremely careful about licensing - Acrobat is not a server product, so the only person who would be legally permitted to connect to it would be the one who owns the copy of Acrobat in question. Sharing a copy between multiple users is not an option; for that there are dedicated server-based solutions such as LiveCycle.

How to add Windows 2012 R2 RDS to Existing Windows 2008 R2 Terminal Server

I currently have a Windows 2008 R2 Terminal Server running and I am looking to add a Windows Server 2012 R2 server to it. All I see when I google the setup is only for Windows Server 2012 R2 RDS, cant find anything to integrate with a current 2008 R2 Terminal
Server.
Can anyone help with this or point me to a blog I possibly missed?
Thanks.

Hi,
Thanks for your comment.
Yeah, agree with diramoh; as already commented. If you want user session from RDS Server 2012 R2 then you need to install RDS License role on server 2012 R2, purchase and install RDS CAL (per user or per device) according your requirement and then you
can use user session for server 2012 R2 and also for lower version.
But as you already have Server 2008 R2 RDS CAL, then with that you can simply access lower version but can’t manage Server 2012\R2.
For more information, you can refer following document.

Hope it helps!

Installing Adobe Acrobat 9.0 on a windows 2008 R2 terminal server

We have had Adobe Acrobat 9.0 with our volume license installed on a Windows Server 2008 r2 acting as a terminal server and when clients remote into the server they cannot create pdf's. The box is also a domain controller which is not suggested by microsoft but we inherited it like this. I have tried uninstalling the product and reinstalling it. I ran all updates and still did not work. I also removed everything and then re-installed Adobe Acrobat 9.0 using the "Install Application on Remote Desktop Server" and that did not work (it actually assigned the printer port to a COMM Port instead of the Documents\*.pdf normal port)
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

BSOD Error Windows 2008 R2 Terminal Server

Hi guys
I have a unique issue on a Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise Terminal Server where it keeps blue screening every so often (from every 2 or 3 days to some times once a week) with the exact same BSOD error. After countless hours Googling and researching I am simply
at a dead end and desperately require some guidance if possible. I have ran malware bytes and other tools and the TS does not have any malware or viruses. I have ran a chkdsk and everything is also okay with that.
It has happened about 5 times now with the same errors every time:

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
The problem which you are facing seems to be due to ntoskrnl.exe. There might be some corruption in ntoskrnl.exe file.It’s responsible for various system services such as hardware virtualization, process and memory management, thus making it a fundamental part
of the system. It contains the cache manager, the executive, the kernel, the security reference monitor, the memory manager, and the scheduler.
Please check below articles to fix the issue of ntoskrnl.exe.

Java 1.6 u38 stopps working on Windows 2008 R2 Terminal Server

Hello,
I have got a strange behavior on our Terminal Server Farm. We have updated our Servers to Windows 2008 R2. Java 1.6 u38 runs fine, but it stops working suddenly.
Reinstall solves the Problem, but only for several hours. Then some users are not able to use Java from Internet Explorer or direct starting JNLP Applications.
Java starts, but nothing happens. You can see the Java6 Startup Windows with the dots running and thats all.
Admin Users are ables to use Java and some "normal" Users are able, too. After reinstall all user are able to use Java. Next day all servers from our RDS Farm are falling out again.
No eventlog entries or anti-virus entires are present.
Does anybody have an idea whats going on here?
best regards,
Björn

Time Zone Redirect Doesn't work on Windows 2008 R2 Terminal Server

Hello All,
A client has two Windows 2003 and two Win 2008 R2 Terminal servers.
When users from a different time zone login to the Win 2003 server, the time zone of the server changes to reflect their own time zone.　 However when they login to the Win 2008 R2 servers, the time zone on the server doesn’t change.
I already enabled the "Allow time zone redirection" on both Win 2008 R2 Terminal Servers in :
Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Terminal Services\Terminal Server\Device and Resource Redirection
Yet when the clients login to the 2008 server and checks the time on the server, it still shows local/server time and not their own time zone.
Any input will be appreciated.

DCOM error "1260" on Windows 2008 R2 terminal server when SAP exports data into Office 2007 (Excel or Word)

Hi all,
We are experiencing an issue which happens at random whenever a user tries to export data from SAP into Excel or Word. Excel or Word is started but remain empty. We then see the below errors in the event log. And the problem is very random
as sometimes all they have to do is wait 10 minutes and the next try will be successful. Not even log off/on. Could someone tell me what the error "1260" is saying?     thanks for your help.

Hi,
Based on my research, please try the following:
Click Start, click Run, type regedit in the Open box, and then click OK.
Locate the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Notify\termsrv
Under this subkey, add the following registry entries:
Name
Type
Value data
Logoff
REG_SZ
TSEventLogoff
Logon
REG_SZ
TSEventLogon
Restart the Terminal Server computer.
Note: Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry
before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, please refer to
How to back up and restore the registry in Windows.
Hope this helps.

Windows 2008 R2 Terminal Server clients lose remote printer queues after logoff

There are similar issues to this already on the forums but not precisely like this as far as I can tell, and I have tried all the fixes mentioned in those other threads.
Windows 2008R2 terminal server connecting to a 2008R2 print server. A script maps a connection to the print server on login. Users can browse the print server, connect to print queues to add them, and the queues work OK at first. As soon as they logoff/login
again, the queues still appear in their list of printers but cannot be selected for printing ('Print' button is greyed out).
Domain administrator users can print OK always; this is only affecting regular-user accounts, so it is probably a security/permissions issue. Print queues configured on the terminal server itself are OK, this only affects the queues on the
print server.
No errors are generated in the Event Logs. No failures seen for the print spooler or anything else.
I have added Everyone with Full Control to C:\windows\system32\spool on the terminal server. Tried giving full permissions to all in the printer properties. Cleaned out all registry keys in Client Side Rendering Print Provider as mentioned in some other
threads. In group policy, client printer redirection and LPT port redirection is allowed, use Easy Print driver first, and the print server is in the Intranet zone for low security. The issue happens for all print queues on the print server with a variety
of drivers so I don't think it is driver-related.

A bad GPO being applied ??
If you isolate a user, remove all GPO (even loopback's one), connect manually to a printqueue to make him install's one. Logoff and reconnect and check again if the printqueue work good. The only right that could block you is the driver's installation, but
I really sure that you don't have that issue (as it would be logged anyway)
The admin. account often have less GPO that apply to him.

Error with HP LaserJet Professional M1212nf print driver on Windows 2008 (32bits) Terminal Server

We got a lot of LaserJet m1212nf printers, installed the SAME driver version on server and desktops and nothing is printed using Easy Print. No errors, no messages but nothing is printed, only when a test page is printed the server show an alert: "No test page can be printed".
After that we try to use the HP driver instead of the TS Easy Print, forcing the group policy to use the Hp driver first. But the terminal server always use the Easy Print driver so we are in the same way.
So we try another thing... THE XPS DRIVER... but it doesn't works on the desktop PC, we try to print a test page from the printer desktop properties but "No test page can be printed" is shown... my god!!!
WHAT CAN WE DO??

You are in an environment that was never tested with Acrobat 9 and it's a product that is no longer supported by Adobe either.
All of that being said, it appears you may have had it working and now you need to ask the questions:
- Did it ever work? If yes, then you go to the next question...
- What changed?
- Was there an OS Update or product update that was applied?
- Was there a third party software update (i.e. antivirus software, graphic card, etc...)?
- Does it work in Safe Mode or in a modified startup mode?

No Default Mail Client Error with Outlook 2010, Server 2008 R2 Terminal Server, and TAM

We are running a software package on a Windows 2008 R2 Terminal Server called TAM (The Agency Manager) along with Outlook 2010. The application uses a MAPI connection to retrieve mail data from Outlook to be able to send and receive messages inside
the application. On our individual PC's this works just fine, but on the Terminal Server users we get the message "Either there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request. Please run Microsoft Outlook
and set it as the default mail client."
I've tried the steps listed in KB 813745 which tells you to delete the registry keys and run a repair in Office, but that didn't resolve the issue. I've searched on this issue, but haven't found anything useful. Any suggestions would be much
appreciated.

Try to set DEP and add outlook.exe. I had outlook 2007 same problem. With DEP enabled and outlook, word en excel also added to the list it worked again.
You can find it under this computer, properties, then change settings. Click advanced tab and then select the first "settings" option.The click the "Data Execution Prevention" (DEP) and select the last option and add the office programs
there.
Hope this helps.

Windows Search Service failing to install on Windows Server 2008 R2 Terminal Server

Hi,
I am unable to install the Windows Search Service on a Server 2008 R2 Terminal Server. I want to install this to enable indexing options within Outlook 2013 for all users.
Server Manager > Add Roles > File Services > Select only Windows Search Service > Install.
The error I receive: "Attempt to configure Windows Search Service failed with error code 0x80070057. The parameter is incorrect."
Thanks,
Bjorn

Hi,
I did the test and could install the Windows Search Service without problem.
Which role did you installed on the terminal server?
Did you try to install it on another windows server?

Windows Server 2008 R2 Terminal Server and Outlook 2013 Profile

Really hoping someone can offer some advice on this one as I have wasted far to many cycles trying to figure this out.
Company I work for recent purchased another company and we are in the process of bringing them into our network. They currently run a a 2008 R2 terminal server where all users connect to for there day to day work. A number of applications
are installed including Office 2013.
All users have Outlook 2013 configured to access their exchange server for email and this works fine.
The first step in bringing them into our fold is to add an email account for Our Exchange server without removing their existing exchange configuration or Outlook Profile. So the one profile will have both exchange accounts listed and they can
continue to get email from their server but as well email from our domain.
I created a MSP file and tested pushing this out using PDQ Deploy to a few workstations here in our office and it works fine. I then started to work on deploying in their environment. PDQ Deploy will not work as they are all terminal Services
Clients. So I tried to push out via GPO. I created the GPO Initially wanting to use a package and apply that GPO to an AD group. However it will not let me deploy a MST as a package. So I then tried moving it to a script that would
run at logon. That too is not working.
I know I could enter install mode then run the MSIEXEC.EXE \config.MSP but that takes away the ability to control the role out.
Any other ideas on how to get this done.

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?
Geoff

Patches are only available to Oracle customers with valid support contracts. If you do have such a contract, pl contact the person in your team who has access to My Oracle Support to download the needed patch. Patches cannot be posted on public servers as this violates ones support contract

How to activate Windows 8.1 on a Windows 2008 R2 KMS server when I don't have Windows 2012 R2 kms host key

I only have windows 8.1 kms host key but I can't add a client OS kms key to Windows 2008 R2 kms server. And I don't have Windows 2012 R2 license either. Is there any way I can activate Windows 8.1 using my existing kms server? Thanks.

I would like a yes no clarification answer. So does this mean that EVEN WITH THE PATCH. My Server 2012 Standard edition that currently hosts KMS VA for clients running Win7, Win 8, Office15, Server 2008, Server 2012. Will not be able to host windows 8.1?
I will have to install 8.1 and use as a host?
if you have a KMShost product key for WS2012R2, you can patch a down=level Server and be fine.
(the OP didn't renew SA or otherwise has no KMShost pkey for WS2012R2)

I'm having similar issues and have a similar question that doesn't seem to be answered:
My KMS server is Windows 2008 R2 (Also is my domain controller). I want to activate Windows 2012 R2 and Windows 8.1 machines off this KMS server. I can install the 2012 R2 key just fine but receive error 0xC004F015 (The Software Licensing Service reported
that the license is not installed) when I try to install my 8.1 KMS key.
What I'm gathering from this thread is that I have to set up a Windows 8.1 host and set it up to be a KMS server exclusively for activating Windows 8.1. Is this correct? If so, Microsoft needs to fix that. I have a SERVER for activations for a reason: it
is a server, not a client. If I am mis-understanding, how do I get my Windows 2008 R2 server to accept the Windows 8.1 KMS key for activating 8.1 clients?
Thanks!
You don't need Windows 8.1 KMS key. Your 2012 R2 KMS key will be able to activate your Windows 8.1 machines. So your current set up is fine, no need to set up another Windows 8.1 KMS host.
My problem is I don't have 2012 R2 KMS key as I didn't buy any Windows 2012 R2 license. So I can't use 2012 R2 KMS key to activate my Windows 8.1.
Oh that's interesting. I guess I need to play around more because my 8.1 test machine isn't activating. I'll start a new thread for that if needed. Sorry for the confusion.
