WMS 2011 on Ncomputing L300

Hi,
I am setting up a test center using a Host PC with WMS 2011 and Ncomputing L300 devices as my access points. Downloaded WMS 2011 evaluation copy and purchased the product key and 50 CAL through Volume Licensing.
My troubles are:
I get a message telling me to update the display drivers for the hardware. Where do i get display drivers for WMS 2011. My Host PC/Server is HP pavilion Elite e9250t and the HO website has no drivers for this OS.
Second Message is for me to have a usb hub with a keyboard and mouse attached to it be connected to the computer. I am using a LAN setup, so cant figure out why i am being asked for USB station/hub.
Thirdly and more confusing is another message telling me there is a keyboard and mouse attched to the root hub that i should unplug.
License- i have purchased the product key(WMS 2011 Premium) and CAL licenses. Unable to activate the software online and the number +22520310500 given for Rwanda is not going through.
Any help in resolving the above issues will be highly appreciated.

Thanks for bringing this over to the forums - I'll start by asking a few questions to clarify some things.
1. The display driver update is by far the most tricky part of setup. It looks like your host PC has a variety of options for graphics cards - do you know which one is in your server? These drivers (they have to be the 64-bit versions and support extended
desktop) are typically available through the manufacturer's webpage; that is, the graphics card manufacturer, not the PC manufacturer.
2 & 3 I believe are related. For your host PC, do you have a keyboard/mouse plugged directly into the computer? WMS 2011 doesn't support locally directly connected USB stations by default, because often a PC will have multiple ports and
it is usually impossible to tell which ports are connected to each root hub. The reason it would be asking for a USB station, even in a lan environment, is because it expects that even the primary station where you are going though setup will be connected
to a station hub. Before setup initially runs, the keyboard/mouse plugged into the computer would be okay, but after OOBE runs it will give the error message that you are describing.
If you don't have a USB hub that you can use to get around this, you CAN plug in a PS/2 mouse/keyboard in, and that will work.
4. Have you tried activating MultiPoint through the normal activation process? You shouldn't have to activate it online. If you open the start menu and right click "Computer", you should be able to activate Windows MultiPoint Server at the bottom of that
screen like you would a normal Windows activation. If that is what you did, I'm not sure what the issue could be, and will look into more possible causes.
I hope this helps for starting to address some of the issues you are having - please continue to ask any questions that may come up so we can work to get you through the setup process.

USB Hubs and WMS 2011

Hi All,
I wonder if someone can advise me please/
I am trying to configure a promethean IWB in windows multipoint 2011.
Now the system lets me install IWB drivers and also sees the Promethean board and the Board is interactiv
however when i either switch from maintenance mode to user mode the IWB stops working and audio disappears.
this also happens during a Pc reboot and the IWB stops working.
Do USB Hubs Sleep, could this be the cause?

I know you posted this a few months ago but I'm afraid it's not going to work for you.
When in maintenance mode the host is acting a single user machine and will function as you expect any single use win7 machine etc.... once you switch to normal mode the multi user mode comes in to play and only certain devices will be able to be used such
as usb hubs, usb memory sticks, usb audio devices.
Not even scanners work when in normal mode which is a pain.

Hi Ben,
My name is Gino, from the Philippines. I am currently working on the same project as a community service to the less-privileged elementary students here. I too have the same problem with the promethean board connected to the multipoint server 2011.
Any updates, thanks

Multipoint 2011: Faulty application name WmsSvc.exe

Hi. I have a customer who uses WMS 2011 happily since 2011 and now I noticed they have errors and their system is unstable. The problem I noticed first is that on the console, it says MP2011 (that's the name of the server) "Unable to connect".
But user can work. Then, looking at the logs, I found lots of errors, see screenshot below.
I've been checking all I could but I am at a loss as to what is the cause of this. System hasn't changed, only system updates are run automatically, so I suspect something in this area.
I also noticed that one of the NIC is reporting "Unidentified network" which also wasn't appearing before. I could find some hints for this error and I am gonna try that tomorrow. I don't think both events are related but I wanted to mention this
for completeness. I would appreciate any help on the first error.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Brian,
Thanks for your help and advise.
Crystal has been running on the server for some time (over a year) but hasn't been 'managed' until now so am looking at all of the issues at present.
We haven't seen a pattern when the errors started though.
Unfortunately the only errors I think relating to CR are the ones in the original post. There are other errors, particularly to do with printing, but I think that they these are due to the TS sessions which wouldn't run Crystal. See below.
The print spooler failed to load a plug-in module C:\Windows\system32\spool\DRIVERS\x64\3\tsprint.dll, error code 0xc1. See the event user data for context information.
I am assuming the users are fine when they view the report then; scrolling through pages. Yes, I believe so.
Yes, there are no locally attached printers on the server so the users rely on their remote session sharing the printer.
Regards,
Don

WMS 2012 and Dell Wyse E01 zero clients

We have HP 6300 with Intel HD graphics. We are not able to start the server in normal mode. What graphic adapter can work together with Dell Wyse E01 ?

Yes we have used drivers version 12 and 13 but we can't trust them. Our solution is Radeon HD 6450 graphic adapter, Wyse driver version 11 on WMS 2011. This works very good.
So HP released a new computer. Deskpro 600 G1 with a new chipset. Then there is driverproblems again. We can put on 3 clients and it works, but when we connect the 4. or 5. client it won't work.
On WMS 2012 we have tried this:
Wyse driver version 13 for E01 and the built in graphic adapter Intel HD graphics 4600, but the screen resolution on the clients is wrong. On a screen like HP 2002LX we get a screen with 1024 X 768.

How to restrict non root users from changing proxy settings Ubuntu 12.04?

I have two Ubuntu 12.04 Desktops with Ncomputing vSpace software configured for remote terminal users of Ncomputing L300 thin clients. Both these desktops have Squid configured and connected to internet. So in a way users logging in to these machines can directly access internet without squid. Now users can remove the proxy and have unrestricted access anytime. Which is the reason I want to enforce proxy on users settings which they cannot change. I am fine if the settings makes it mandatory for root or sudo user of Ubuntu. Is this possible ?

Use a mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to lock prefs or specify new (default) values.
Place a local-settings.js file in the defaults\pref folder where also the channel-prefs.js file is located to specify using mozilla.cfg.
pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
These functions can be used in the mozilla.cfg file:
defaultPref(); // set new default value
pref(); // set pref, but allow changes in current session
lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes

Screen Saver Lock-out

Our WMS 2011 Premium server boots and then after the association of the mouse and keyboard the screen saver starts and then simply moves when the mouse moves or the keyboard is touched.
There is no way to get around the screen saver and the system is not accessible from any other station.
We can start the system in safe mode and log in, but not apply changes or update the system.

I had this happen to me and I ended up solving it by disassociating my LAN client, installing all of my USB stations, and then associating my LAN client again. Evidently, when the LAN client was connecting, my system would lock up. By adding all of my USB
stations first and then the LAN stations last, it solved the issue for me.
Also, I experience screensaver lockup when my Windows was set to put my monitors into sleep mode after a minute. I turned that off in the USB Power settings and the lockup went away. With this issue, I could turn off the client and turn it back on to jump
start the system.
Also, have you looked at this link to see if the SRCShell user account has been deleted?With WMS2010, at least, Microsoft says you'll have log-in issues if that account is deleted.

Multipoint Server 2012 - Display Sleep

I have several WMS 2012 boxes with Atrust m300 zero clients. I am having an issue since upgrading from WMS 2011 that my zero clients displays don't sleep. The direct connected ps/2 stations display will sleep, but all other clients won't.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn690048.aspx
Per this technet article it sounds like I would need to enable the SessionIdleTimeout regkey to disconnect the idle sessions. I have enabled this key, but it does not appear to be doing anything on my multipoint server.
I guess my question is does anyone with USB attached zero clients have display sleep working in some fashion?

Windows Multipoint Server is not a supported platform at this time. See http://www.novell.com/support/kb/doc.php?id=7006589.

We have installed the Client 2 SP3 (IR2) on Windows Multipoint Server
2012. On startup the error "The domain name is not valid. Please try
again" appears. If we click past this error the windows login screen
appears. If you click on the icon of the most recent user the user name
WmsShell appears along with a populated password field. If you press
enter the WmsShell account logs in without problems and the multipoint
server continues to log in and the Novell login screen appears and users
can log in without any problem.
The issue we are having is that the WmsShell account should be logging
in automatically without any intervention. If we uninstall the client
the Multipoint Server logs in correctly but after installing the client
again it comes back. The only thing I can find is this TID 7008643. A
new release of the client seemed to take care of that issue.

Need to understand a possible solution for my customer

Hello Experts , I am into a situation... I want to sell my customers zero clients with windows server running in background so they can save cost. For this I have suggested Ncomputing L300 Zero client which they like upto an extent but the problem is they
have 50 locations (outlets) and they dont want 50 local servers to be deployed. Please provide me some guidance or suggestions with better available solutions. I know one alternate is citrix but its too expensive.
Help would be much appreciated as I am in client country and totally blank now.

USB Periperals on the Multipoint Server

My first post here.
I was wondering if anyone had difficulties using certain USB devices on the Multipoint hubs, such as DVD drives or graphics tablets? Even with the drivers installed on some of them, I seem to be unable to use them to any effect. I have had multiple third
parties enquire me about the graphics tablets, as their users require them for drawing/writing foreign languages. Any feedback, advice or solutions would be extremely helpful, and highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
JC

Not an expert but, take a peek at the following article, should still be relevant for WMS 2012

Problem with WMS themes & Oracle MapViewer Version 11.1.1.2

Hello, in my application I load the background raster from a external server using wms. With differents version of mapviewer 11 with a weblogic server (e.g: release 1, release 11.1.1.4) all it's allrigth, but when I change the mapviewer to release 11.1.1.2 I can't see the raster and I get the next error:
21-sep-2011 11:33:10 oracle.sdovis.theme.WMSMapThemeDefinition setSrs

SEVERE: MAPVIEWER-01048: Cannot load WMS map image.
21-sep-2011 11:33:10 oracle.sdovis.theme.DynGeomThemeProducer prepareData
I can understand why..., I don't know what's is the problem because differents versions of mapviewer work without problem on the same weblogic server (Weblogic 11 patchset R2).
Anyone know if mapviewer 11.1.1.2 has a problem with WMS?
Thanks for your answer!!

although with Oracle Fusion Middleware MapViewer Version 11g ps3 (11.1.1.4) and 11g ps4 (11.1.1.5.1) everything work ok in my WebLogic Server: 10.3.3.0, with Mapviewer Version 11.1.1.2 I get the next error:

Setting Default apps with minimal WMs (dwm, awesome, etc)

How are folks running WMs like awesome and dwm setting their default applications (I'm particularly interested in the web-browser setting)?
On past systems, I've had GNOME installed, and just used the preferred applications dialogue, but that's not the case in my current system.
Does anyone know where dwm/awesome look for default app settings, and how I'm able to change those settings?

For example, in your shell config:
export BROWSER="your-browser"
There's nothing like that in either Awesome or dwm. And I don't think one really needs it. In case you want to open certain file types in dedicated applications, you can e.g. define aliases to achieve this. (Everything depends on the shell you use, or the file manager. In my case Midnight Commander together with zsh does the job well.)
Edit: consider me slowww, always a couple of minutes slowwwer.

Licensing for NComputing

Hope we have the following senario
1. A PC with Windows 7.
2. 5 numbers of NComputing Desvices (LSeries) conneced to the PC.
What are all the Licenses we have to purchase?
