Windows Terminal Server Session Directory

Anybody know when Session Directory will be supported?
We have a TS farm that uses session directory. Our Sun Rays with uttsc work fine and will redirect the users to their active session.
No such luck with SGD pointed at the farm. The user will open a new session and not get redirected to their existing session.
As one can imagine, this causes all sorts of problems when users leave their desks and then go home and can no longer access their existing session on the terminal server.

Currently SGD does not support the Terminal Server Session Directory. It is however on the roadmap of SGD, but I don't know if it will be in the next release yet.

2003 Terminal Server Session Directory Clustering

Hi everybody ;
I have question about clustering TS Session Directory Service.
In my environment I have four terminal server which running Windows Server 2003 R2. Now we bought two new servers and we are planning to use them for File Server with Windows Server 2008 R2. I installed Windows Server 2008 R2 to this new servers
and i configured them for file server and clustered this two server. But i want to cluster the my terminal servers session directory service in this cluster environment. My terminal server WS2003 but cluster environment is WS2008. Is there a problem about
this version difference ?
Thanks.

i don't believe so. 2003 terminal services requires at least 2x 2003 servers with the session directory service running on them to be clustered in MSCS. 2008 has a whole new session directory which will not serve 2003 remote desktop hosts

you may want to consider upgrading your old 2003 terminal server environment to 2008 though.

Running LabVIEW applications on Windows Terminal Server

I have built a client application in LabVIEW that one of our users want to run on a Windows 2000 Terminal Server...the question is; how does Windows Terminal Server handle the different sessions; does is launch multiple copies of the application and if so how about support files? In my case the client application has a configuration and a temp file in it's directory...if multiple users use the application on the terminal server; does it or can it be set up to make one copy of the app directory for each session? If not - is there a way / what is the best way to get separate configurations and temp files for each session?

Cannot quit Visual FoxPro (Windows Terminal Server 2008 + Citrix XenApp 5 + VMWare vCenter 5.1)

Hi everybody:
This is not the typical question about this error, because the problem here is not about how to quit (CLEAR EVENTS then QUIT). The really and weird problem is that our application do no execute the error trapping routines (Try/Catch and ON ERROR) and tries
to directly Quit.
I have never seen something like this before, error trapping routines not executed.
I try to explain the problem better:
- The user click on the Citrix icon of our App
- Citrix shows the executed processes (establishing connection, applying user config, loading profile, etc)
- The Application (VFP 9 SP2) is started and in any moment, while loading, occurs an error that is not handled by error handlers, and it executes a "kind" of a Quit command, that we detect because have a ON SHUTDOWN to catch it, then the App shut
down and the user must click the Citrix icon and start all over again, up to 7 times, when the App really load and work.
- I think that it is useful to make clear that no QUIT command is really causing this, just the behaviour of the QUIT when an error occurs, but just while loading. If the App get completely loeaded, then everything works as expected
Infraestructure:
- Windows Terminal Server 2008 + Citrix XenApp 5 + VMWare vCenter 5.1
- There are up to 50 concurrent users max in every virtualized server
- More than 10 GB of free disk space / Up to 4 GB ram
- RAM Memory is never used to the max
- CPU (Intel Xeon) is never used to the max (up to 90% in some cases)
- Data (DBFs for temporal work) ar on local drive, not over network (to avoid network known problems with smb2-3)
- There are connection to a Oracle 11 database for permanently storing the data
About the errors:
- They are not always the same or in the same place. In example, in one execution could fail the query of SET("Printer",2), in other execution could fail a SET PROCEDURE TO xxx ADDITIVE (sometimes already loaded), in other could fail a "DO
WHILE .T." in a init event.... completely crazy, and in all cases the errors are not thrown, not a single error code, the App just try to quit, as if ALT+F4 where pressed.
- All this does not happen allways to everyone, but happens many times in the day to many many users as to be worried
- The same user can have this error many times a day, but not allways
- Some of the problems started when migrating to Windows Terminal Server 2008, but didn't notice nothing special in the beginning, but a year later (last 2014) problems tend to go worse
Tried solutions:
- For the "SET PROCEDURE TO xxx ADDITIVE" error, a "IF xxx $ SET('PROCEDURE')" check was added
- The "SET('Printer',2)" check was moved out of initialization code, so it executes when user want to print the first time. In this case was neccesary to talk with IT guys to map a default printer after the App runs, and not in background, as it
was.
- Other checks and modifications was made to minimize posibility of errors
- Adding a timeout of 5 secs in the start of the program, to force a wait
- Restart of virtual servers (not the phisical) every 3 weeks
What I suspect:
- Some Microsoft optimization (memory?, process execution?) in WTS-2008 may interfere?
- Some VMWare memory management may interfere with WTS-2008?
- Some Citrix management may interfere with both?
- Server degradation because of day to day use
Results until now:
- Apparently, adding the timeout to force 5 secs delay and the restart of the server have made a notable enhancement in App start and running
with far fewer
errors
Has
this happened to anyone?
Thanks! o_O

I never had this type of problems, but somewhat similar start up problems. I'd say it indicates resource problems. Low RAM can cause many unpredictable things. In my case loading much data at the begin of an application caused out of memory errors, which
were reported and logged normally, though.
I made a small tool using Windows API functions GetPerformanceInfo and GetProcessMemoryInfo, you'll find declaration and usage like usual at the News2News site. It's a bit lengthy and cluttered, but pretty much what you find there anyway, so I'll not post
my utility code.
I could quite clearly see how many users degraded available memory per session and at some time no further instance of the application was possible on the server. In my case RDP was used to start the app, Citrix will be quite the same, in the end the application
runs on some server and users see the remote running application.

Terminal Server Session Management: why do we need a rdp session to take control of a terminal session?

Hi all,
As title, I have this question: why do we need a rdp session to take remote control of a terminal server session?
I copied tsadmin and related file to a windows 8.1 pc and I'm able to see for every terminal server the list of users logged in, but the option "take control" is greyed out... why? is not possible to avoid this block?
Thanks in advance
Davide

Hello, Davide_ita.
Also tried to use RDSM to "Remote Control" user's sessions, but in this thread
Remote Control
with Remote Desktop Services Manager - error Access is denied (Windows Server 2012 R2)
I get the recommendation to use RDP or Remote Assistance.
The quote of
TP []:
Hi,
You cannot remote control a session on a 2012 R2 RDSH server using Remote Desktop Services Manager. You need to use the RDP 8.1 mstsc.exe or the RDS gui in Server Manager on 2012 R2. The command you would use with the RDP 8.1 client would be
this:
mstsc /shadow:<sessionid> /control

Compile problem running jdev on Windows Terminal Server

I am experiencing problems compiling java source files in jdev 9.0.3.1035
Sometimes the class file is not created if i make (compile) only one source file.
The jdev is running on a Windows Terminal Server 2000.
The sources are on the same Terminal Server.
The classes should be compiled to the Terminal Server as well.
I am working on a Terminal session elsewhere.
Anyone had this problem before ?

Georg:
Q1) What you mean with 'the class file is not
created'? Is the .class file not overwritten? Is the
class file for a new file not written? Did you delete
the class file before compiling?I deleted the class file before compiling!
Q2) I guess that sources and classes are used by you
exclusively. Is this right?That is right!
Q3) In the project settings under Common | Input
Paths is the option 'Scan Source Path' enabled or
disabled?Both options have the same effect!
Q4) When the problem occurs: what is the active
window (code editor or Navigator)? What node is
selected in the Navigator?Tried following combinations:
- Having selected the Project node in the Navigator and the code editor is active window
- Having selected the class node in the Navigator and the code editor is active window
- Having selected the Project node in the Navigator and the Navigator is active window
- Having selected the class node in the Navigator and the Navigator is active window
Q5) What are the exact steps you took when it
happens? Do you use mouse or keyboard hotkeys? What
buttons or menus do you use?- right click in code editor and choose Make from popup menu

Flash Player hangs users entire Terminal server session

Hi all, Firstly many thanks for reading this.
We're running Windows Terminal Server 2008 r2 using Flash Player 11.1.102.62
Whenever one of our users hits a flash enabled site they experience heavy session lags and even sometimes cause the session to hang until the server times out the session via group policy. This is regardless of the size of the Flash content being played (full screen content or a little ad in the corner).
To give an Idea of the layout, the Terminal Server is situated locally to the clients (not at a remote location) which eliminates it being a broadband issue for the clients. The Terminal server is a fresh install with a single install of flash( Flash 11.1.102.62 64-bit)
I've read through the administration guide and created a mms.cfg file. Presently it has the following entries:
AutoUpdateDisable = 1
FullScreenDisable = 1
OverrideGPUValidation = 0 (this was previously set to 1 to see if it would increase performance but it didnt.)
I dont see any options in the guide to tweak performance as such - just security related. Are there any other references to values that can be changed to increase performance?
Any thoughts/insights would be greatly appreciated as this is causing a real headache.
Kind Regards,
Jon

Can't install LabVIEW Run-Time Engine 6.1 on Windows Terminal Server

With my system admin, we tried to install the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine 6.1 on our Windows Terminal Server NT4. And we get an error all the time:
-install using the plugin
-install using LVRTE.exe
-install after rebooting the server
But I remember that we could install the Run-Time Engine 6.0 on another Windows Terminal Server NT4.
Is there any compatibility issues with the new Run-Time Engine 6.1 ??
Thanks for your help
Cyrille

Cyrille,
What is the error that you get when trying to install the run-time engine?
Are you installing it from the LabVIEW CD, or did you download it from the web site?
To further troubleshoot this problem, it would be best if you send us an email to [email protected] and send the above information.
Also, try running the installer from the command prompt window, and use the following syntax:
setup.exe/l*v
This will save the error log to the file you specify. Send us also this file to help us troubleshoot.
Thanks

Swing app in JDK6 continues to rendering slow in Windows Terminal Server

Hi,
Because Swing apps create interfaces internally and not using default OS APIs,
when running into a Windows Terminal Server client, there is no way to optimize
rendering. Windows Terminal Server and Linux FreeNX use a mechanism to send
to client only commands to render the windows. But, because the way Swing works,
not totally integrated to OS APIs, it's not possible for terminal servers to do this,
and these servers render Swing like images, something like VNC do, very slower than.
I have tested native apps and AWT apps, and the difference is very significant,
something like 50-70% faster.
Is there some project in Swing APIs or java.net open-sources to better this?

We are also seeing this issue with a Compiere implementation. With 10 distributed sites across the US, our client wanted to use Windows Terminal Services to simplify the client desktop management of the Swing application.
But performance is terrible...and screen painting issues a real problem. We are also on JDK5 still, so I'm discouraged to see that JDK6 doesn't appear to offer much improvement?
Is there any project afoot to address this issue for installations using terminal services?
Thanks,
Peter

Is BPC 7.0 compatible with Windows Terminal Server 2008?

Is BPC 7.0 compatible with Windows Terminal Server 2008? We are having printing issues when on WTS 2003.

BPC 7.0M SP08 was released on September 1st and now supports the client install on both Server 2008 and Windows 7 so yes, you should be able to use terminal server in Windows 2008 if you install SP08. It also has limited support for Office 2010, full support will come with SP09. SAP Note 1490544 is the central SP08 note, and 1504400 is the download note.

Remote Access to a Windows Terminal Server

Hi,
I used to work on Windows XP at home and would use the Remote Desktop to access my Windows Terminal Server at work. Now we have a iMac 24". Is there a Remote Access software for iMac that I can use to still connect to my office's terminal server?

B1 pelo WTS (Windows Terminal Server)

Boa tarde a todos...
Estou com um problema aqui na empresa que trabalho, foi implantado o B1 na unidade central e agora estamos implantando na filial de Porto Alegre....
Os usuarios de Porto Alegre irão acessar a base de dados que fica na central em São Paulo via WTS (Windows Terminal Server )...
Acontece que estamos enfrentando um grande problema com velocidade, visto que o acesso de Porto Alegre ficou extremamente lento.
Alguem ja passou por uma situação parecida?
Saberiam como melhorar essa questão da velocidade?
Ou alguma outra sugestão para essa implantação?

Oi
Não existe uma forma de alterar o SAP B1 para melhorar limitações de conetividade remota.
O WTS possui os seus próprios requisitos mínimos de comunicação e consoante o tamanho dos documentos e a quantidade de usuários conetados a performance vai ser mais reduzida.
Caso a rede seja utilizada para outras atividades, como armazenamento de arquivos (Word, Excel, etc...) isso irá afetar ainda mais a performance da comunicação remota.
Normalmente os valores recomendos são:
Windows Terminal Services .
-Bandwidth per user = 20 - 40 Kb
-Memory per user = 50 - 70 MB
Nota: Estes valores são meramente indicativos e a documentação mais recente da Microsoft deve ser consultada relativamente a largura de banda recomendada tal como referido na nota SAP 675004.
