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 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?

Word 2010 - "Connecting to printer" message when opening documents at Server 2008 R2 Terminal server

Our users experience sometimes the message "connecting to printer" while they open a document in Word 2010 (32-bit) on our Server 2008 R2 Terminal Server. This is behavior
isn't consequent but random. The default printer in this environment is a Net2Printer-printerdriver (1.16) which redirects the print jobs (in PDF-format) to the local client's default printer. This feature works well. We don't want to change the default printer
because this is the right one to use by our users.
After a long seeking trip on the internet I've found the Microsoft hotfix KB974991 which can fix this issue for Word 2007. My question is, is this also usable for Word
2010 (32-bit) and if not, is there maybe another fix for the 2010 version available?
Any other suggestions or workarounds are welcome!

Hi,
Please change following options test if it works:
Ÿ
Print proofs quickly
Enable the Draft output option. When you use this option, the document prints with minimal formatting. Therefore, the document
may print faster. This option is ideal for printing proofs.
To enable the Draft output option, follow these steps.
Note Some printers may not support this option.
Start Word.
Click File, and then click
Word Options.
In the Word Options dialog box, click Advanced, and then scroll down to the Printing
section.
Click to select the Use draft quality check box, and then click OK.
Ÿ
Use the background printing option that best fits your requirements
When background printing is enabled, you can continue to work in Word while your document prints in the background. Background printing uses additional
memory, and your document may print more slowly.
When background printing is disabled, your document prints faster. However you cannot work in Word until the print job is completed. If you do not have
to continue to work in Word while your document prints, disable background printing to speed up printing.
To do this, follow these steps:
Start Word.
Click File, and then click
Word Options.
In the Word Options dialog box, click Advanced, and then scroll down to the Printing
section.
Click to clear the Print in background check box, and then click OK.

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.

Explorer folder update issues Server 2008 R2 Terminal Server

Hi Folks,
We are having a few issues here. We have a cluster of 5 Server 2008 X64 R2 SP1 Terminal Servers running Citrix Xenapp 6. Our file server is a Server 2008 R2 SP1 server also. All servers are virtualised on ESX vSphere 4.0 and are connected to an EMC
FC SAN.
The users have an application which references a mapped drive (K in this example). This mapped drive is populated with contents from a network scanner. The file extensions change from PDF, JPEG, JPG and GIF. The files are stored on the 2K8 X64 R2 file server.
This all works fine, however the users are getting intermittent 'refresh' problems if you will. Sometimes after the user scans to the folder they will not see the item which was scanned however another user on the _same_ server will be able to see the item
that has just been scanned to file. If I login to the server via remote desktop I can also see the files also. It can take from 2minutes to 30minutes before the users explorer will actually refresh and be able to see the files. During this time if the user
creates a folder in the my documents which is also redirected/hosted on the 2K8 R2 file server they see the changes immediately. If the user logs in and logs out of the Terminal Server the file which was scanned is immediately available to the user.
**NOTE** this problem does not occur every time
Below is a list of the things that I have tried
Changing the Icon size and layout under explorer
Changing the layout from thumbnails to list etc
Disabled SMB 2.0
Completed SMB tuning for Xenapp and Explorer on the limit of concurrent connections etc
Disabled Windows Search
Disabled Indexing
Changed the folder to be both offline and online
Index offline and online folders
Disabled "Client for Microsoft Networks" on the network card
Disabled IPV6 on both Terminal Servers and File server
Ran filemon in compatibility mode on the file server (I can see the file being created)
I have changed the scanning location on the 2K8 R2 file server to no avail
I have checked the file share and it is indeed set to Maximum allow concurrent connections
Checked Perfmon and the disk queue is running about 0.4
I'm now at a loss.. any advise would be great! thanks folks.

Hi,
Does this issue happen on a Windows client? Like the Windows 7 and Windows XP.
Meanwhile, I would give you the following suggestions for your reference:
1.
By default, Windows Explorer generates a lot of SMB traffic - which can result in poor file server performance in some circumstances.
However, some of this traffic is superfluous and can be reduced - for example:
•Searches for Desktop.ini files used for folder customization
•Periodic refreshes of folder contents
•Searches for supporting library (.dll) files
•Individual file details and attributes pulled for each file
•Thumbnail extraction
There are some registry changes you can implement to optimize the SMB traffic being generated.
Import the settings below on client machines.
Terminal Servers running in Application Mode should be considered client machines in this scenario.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\Explorer]
"UseDesktopIniCache"=dword:00000001
"NoRemoteRecursiveEvents"=dword:00000001

2.
Please try to temporarily disable all firewall and anti-virus software to check whether this issue can be fixed.
3.
Please check if the problematic user is still on one switch. If so, I would guess there is an issue on switch.
In this case, you’re using Citrix when this issue happens. I suggest you contact Citrix engineer to particularly ask whether they saw the
similar issue running on Citrix and how to fix it.
Thanks.

Instant Search not working on local mailbox in Outlook 2007 on Windows Server 2008 R2 Terminal Server

Sometime last week Instant Search stopped working on a Terminal Server we have deployed. I don't use Outlook on the server so I didn't notice it myself but users started complaining several days ago. When I checked instant search settings everything was
grayed out. I noticed that the feature for Windows Search was disabled so I enabled that feature rebooted the server and now instant search is looking for email in archive folders and sharepoint lists. Local Mailbox mail however is not being indexed by instant
search. When I check data files it says that there is no file for the local mailbox. I checked and Cached Exchange Mode is disabled so no OST is being created and apparently there is no PST for it either.
Do I need an OST/PST to search the local mailbox?
Also I have added the Office GPO Templates and enabled the GPO for allowing Cached Exchange Mode but that doesn't seem to be helping either. Please help.

Have you had any luck with this?
One of our clients has reported that 5 different users, when RDP'd into 3 different RDS Servers, cannot use the Instant Search.
I haven't been able to find anything about this in my online searches.
Like you, the mailboxes aren't even appearing under Instant Search > Search Options. Also, it would appear that there are no locally-hosted .ost/.pst's for any of the users on this server; can the instant search function work on a .pst that's saved
somewhere else on the network?

Server 2008 R2 Terminal Server c0000005 and c0000006 errors with KERNELBASE.dll error in RDP sessions.

We installed a new Server 2008 R2 server this spring. It is configured as a Terminal Server with 16 Wyse t10 thin clients connecting with RDP. We are a small resort so we run Springer Miller Host and SpaSoft. Ever since moving from PCs to the thin clients
and TS we have been seeing SpaSoft randomly crash with KERNELBASE.dll errors and also a lot of c0000005 and c0000006 errors. Springer Miller support says its a Microsoft Networking issue so no help there. The company we worked with to install this has no clue
so I hope to reach out to this community to solve this. I can also open support case with Microsoft Support but I am not sure if they will be of any help. Here are some examples of the errors:
"Event 1000

There are no network specific errors in any of the logs. I am thinking that SpaSoft needs to be run as an administrator but I am not sure how to do that in this environment. We have disabled DEP for all but essential Windows processes. All of the firewall
and AV has been completely disabled, and still getting these errors. Is there a way to run these applications as admin without the user actually being an admin? Should I go ahead and open a Microsoft support case? Thanks

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Explanation
The indicated program stopped unexpectedly. The message contains details on which program and module stopped. A matching event with Event ID 1001 might also appear in the event log. This matching event displays information about the specific error that occurred.
User Action
If an error report was generated for this error, you might be able to obtain more information about the error by sending the report to Microsoft for analysis.
Yeah, you can open a support case with Microsoft as they will help and guide you for proper solution. You can go through
this source article.
Hope it helps!
Thanks.

Cannot connect to Exchange server (Small Business Server 2008) using Windows 8.1 and Outlook 2013

I am at my wits end. I have got a new PC running Windows 8.1 and Outlook 2013 simply WILL NOT connect to my work Exchange server. The REALLY annoying thing is that the Windows Mail client inbuilt to Windows 8.1 works perfectly! But I have to have Outlook
for the functionality. The issue appears to be that in Outlook 2013 on Windows 8.1, it tries to be clever and auto-detect the settings whereas Windows Mail allows you to input the server and domain names.
I have tried all the suggestions already on some of the boards - manual setup, etc - nothing works! Is it a compatibilityissue with SBS 2008 and Outlook 2013? Any help appreciated!

There's no issue with O'2013 connecting with Ex '2007. Also not clear about comments of "auto-detect" versus "....have tried all the suggestions ............ manual setup....". On the one hand your stating that only "auto-detect" is available and on the
other that you've tried "manual settings" (which definitely is an option in O'2013 for EX accounts).
This may have more to do with the fact that you're using a new computer trying to connect to the server which it may not be configured for - something your admin will need to address.
Given that your question is in reference to Exchange - you are likely to get a better/faster answer in the following forum which deals with Exchange server related questions:

Does Safari run in Windows Server 2008 R2 (Terminal Services)?

does Safari run in Windows Server 2008 R2 (Terminal Services)?

Hi Jess,
Here are two things I suggest you check:
The Monitoring interval is set to 900 minutes, would the profile size get reduced after 15 hours and run
gpupdate/force?
Since the Sessenv.dll version is higher than the ones described in KB 2575946, the issue is supposed to be fixed. I suggest you run System File Checker to scan all protected system files.
In addition, you can also collect Gpsvc.log to determine if policies are applied successfully.

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.

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.

Installing additinal cals in existing 2008 R2 terminal server.

<style type="text/css">P { margin-bottom: 0.08in; }</style>
Hi ,
we are using windows server 2008 R2 terminal licensing server which is having 10 user CALs
now we planned to purchase some more CALS for example additional 20 CALS per user
Note : This is the first time we are adding the CALs in existing cals server.
Kindly clarify my query below:
1. what is the procedure to add the CALS with existing CALs.?
2. while installing the new license do we need to deactivate the terminal server ?what will be the impact ?
3. whether we need to define the users per CALs ?
Regards,
Baki.

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Based on your description, it seems that you already have RDS License server & RDS per User CAL installed on server 2008 R2. And now you want to add other RDS User CAL. For this you can follow the same procedure when you add the CAL. Also suggest you to
contact MS Clearing house and explain him the whole scenario that you want to add the CAL to your existing environment and they will help you to achieve your goal.
Locate the Microsoft Clearinghouse Telephone Number for Your Country or Region

2008 R2 Terminal Server large Local User Profile Folder; C:\ drive size fluctuation

Hey Guys,
Have an interesting issue I'm currently working with and starting to scratch my head. I inherited this server so many things I'm still discovering.
This is TS 2008 R2 SP1, with very basic setup; Microsoft, Firefox, IE, and Adobe. I currently have many users, but only these two user profiles that have large folders. (all the space is taking out by C:\Users\%USER%\AppData\Local\Microsoft). Each folder orbiting
around 23.6GB taking 89% of the C:\ drive. Once I discovered it, I applied folder redirection policy to move all the content of the user folder's to the large drive; P:\TSProfiles\ottc01
However, the actual C:\Users\%USER%\AppData\Local\Microsoft folder still there and looks like it cannot be moved. It's almost like every instance of windows OS and Microsoft Office duplicated and resides on each user's local profile. Plus, the C:\ drive
space fluctuates and goes up and down, every time user logs on and off.
So, I'm curious is to how to correct this issue and why only these two users have such a large profiles? I can provide more info if needed, just let me know.
Thanks everyone for their time.

Hi,
On current situation, please refer to following articles and check if can help you.
User Profiles on Windows Server 2008
R2 Remote Desktop Services
Manage User Profiles for Remote Desktop Services
In addition, this issue seems to be more related to terminal service. I also suggest that you would post this question in
Remote Desktop Services (Terminal Services) Forum. I believe we will get a better assistance there.
If any update, please feel free to let me know.
Hope this helps.

Firefox 22 update crashes on startup in server 2008 R2 terminal environment. Downgrading back to 21 works fine though.

Firefox updated to version 22 and immediately started crashing on startup. Doing a completely clean reinstall does not solve the problem, as soon as the install finishes it immediately crashes. I have since installed version 21 from an old install file and it is working fine, so something with version 22 apparently does not like our Server 2008 R2 terminal environment. The server has the latest OS updates and AV/malware scans are performed routinely.

We're sorry to hear that your Firefox seems to be crashing when you open it. Please perform the following steps to give us a crash report ID that helps us find out more about the cause of the crash.
#Press the following shortcut to get a Run window: [Windows] + [R]. This should bring up a window that contains a text field.
#In that text field, enter %APPDATA% and press Enter. An explorer window should open.
#From that explorer window, double-click on the ''Mozilla'' folder, then double-click on ''Firefox'' and then on ''Crash reports''. Double-click on ''submitted''.
#Now, you should see a list of files that contain reports. Go to ''View'' > ''Arrange Icons by'' > ''Modified'' to get the most recent files at the top of the window.
#Open the most recent 5 files with a text editor and copy the IDs.
#Paste each ID with '''bp-''' into the reply window on the forums.
Thanks in advance!

Windows Server 2012 RDS CALS on Windows Server 2008 R2 Licensing Server

Hi,
at the moment we are installing the first couple of Windows Server 2012 in our infrastructure.
Some of them have installed RDS.
Now we are wondering whether it is possible to use our existing Windows Server 2008 R2 licensing server for serving the licenses we have (yes we to have new Windows Server 2012 RDS CALS) or whether we have to install a new host based on Windows Server 2012.
We tried to add the new license to the 2008 R2 licensing server, but it is not possible. The licensing manager's error message: "The license code contains invalid characters or not enough characters."
Is there any other way?
Thanks and regards
Matthias

Hi matt_will_fix_it,
How about Windows 2012 R2 ?
Will a Windows 2012 RD Licensing server provide licences to a Windows 2012 R2 server?
I have not tested it, but it should work. Server 2012 R2 requires the same RDS CAL version as Server 2012. If you try it and have an issue please reply back.
