I'm not sure what that means. If you *have* AD already on your network, it

would absolutely be recommended practice to join this server to the

domain.....and then use group policy.

 

That said, if you don't currently use AD at all on your network, check out

the thread entitled "Lockdown desktop without Group Policy" begun by Pearl

on 9/7/07.

I have an identical issue. In my case, an administrator connected to the

terminal server using the RDP Client for Mac (not sure which version).

Subsequently all terminal server sessions that opt to connect local drives

have that user's Mac's computer name displayed within their session (e.g. "C

on Applexxx" instead of "C on PCxxx"). I can see that global CLSID entries

are registered for client connections with the Mac computer name tattooed

into the key description. (e.g. the CLSID {xxxx-xxxx-xxx...} key has the

data "C on Applex", followed by the value InfoTip with data "Disk from Remote

Desktop Connection"). Normally only CLSID entries for client computer local

device connections are created and stored in the HKCU hive.

We've not encountered this problem before, however I believe this would be

the first time that an admin has connected using a Mac. Is this a known

issue with the RDP Mac client?

Not that I know of.

Please find out if the admin connected with the current version of

the Mac RDC client (1.0.3) or if he used the beta version of Mac

RDC 2.0.

If this is a problem which is introduced in Mac RDC 2.0, it is

important to report this as a bug:

It turns out the admin person did log in using the RDC 2 Beta client. Also

she did not log in using her admin account but with a standard domain user

account. I will report this as a bug to the Beta program.

You can share out the driver files in a shared folder that can the client

can access. When client is asked to install driver, it can point to that

share.

Hi Don,

 

Configure your Terminal Servers so that they always prompt

for the username/password. Open up Terminal Services

Configuration (tscc.msc), double-click RDP-Tcp. On the

Logon Settings tab, choose "Always use the following logon

information" and check "Always prompt for password".

 

Leave the User name field blank and enter your domain name

in the Domain field.

 

Thanks.

I don't know if it is supported, but I've run a virtual application server on

VMWare ESX server, VMWare Workstation, and also Virtual PC. They all seem to

perform quite well, and I've never run into any issues on any of the

virtualization platforms.

 

Hope that helps

Date: 09/29/2007 11:59:46

 

 

Hi,

 

I have seen cases in the past where the registry permissions

are set wrong and thus prevent flash from installing and/or

working correctly. If I remember correctly it usually is a

handful of flash-related keys under HKCR.

 

I usually just check through the entries by hand using regedit

but if you are unsure of which keys to check it would be

easier to use Process Monitor to direct you. Run the flash

install with PM running and then look for errors that occurred

with keys under HKCR.

I tried about 100000 things and finally found a Active-X installer on

Adobe's site. Strange thing is that it doesn't work with the local admin

account logon, but all Remote connections now have Flash :)

Yes I'm aware of this.

What do other admins do?

This must be a common issue when defining "TS users profile path " through

GPO.

I could of course set this individually on all users in AD but I would

prefer not to...

It's a trade-off of convenience. I guess I don't really see a problem

though since administrators would want their settings following them too.

Hi,

 

Click on the RDP-Tcp# session in the left hand pane, then click

the Information tab on the right. The client's *local* ip address

will be shown. If you want the client's *real* ip address

(which may be the same as the local), view your security audit log.

 

Thanks.

There is no direct way (GP, TS settings, etc) to do that. You can set the

permission on the desktop folders for the users such that they have only

read permission. That way they cannot add anything to it. You can also deny

read permission on specific folders.

Hi,

 

The command for New-->Shortcut is stored here in the registry:

 

HKCR\.lnk\ShellNew

 

Below is one technique you can use:

 

1. Create a file using Notepad with the following contents:

 

>>> Begin file contents below this line

@echo off

del %1

exit

>>> End file contents above this line

 

2. Save it in C:\WINDOWS\system32 as dellnk.cmd

 

3. Right-click on your desktop and choose New-->Shortcut,

enter dellnk.cmd, click Next, click Finish.

 

4. Right-click on the new shortcut and choose Properties.

Change the Run setting to Minimized and then click OK.

 

5. *Copy* the new shortcut to the C:\WINDOWS\system32 folder

 

6. Open up regedit and navigate to the following key:

 

HKCR\.lnk\ShellNew

 

7. Right-click on the Command REG_SZ value and choose

Rename. Change the name to Command.backup

 

8. Right-click on the right-hand pane and choose New-->String

Value, enter Command for the name

 

9. Double-click the new Command value you just created

and enter the following:

 

dellnk.cmd.lnk "%1"

 

10. Click OK to save your changes. Test by right-clicking on

your desktop and choosing New-->Shortcut. If it is working

properly a New Shortcut file should appear momentarily but

quickly disappear.

 

11. If you want to restore the default shortcut behavior you can

restore the original value that you saved as Command.backup

 

If you want to disable shortcuts *only* for non-admins then you

could use a logon script or similar to create the above registry

entry in each non-admin user's HKCU\Software\Classes

*instead* of modifying HKCR.

What sort of changes are you looking to make? There are ADM's available

so settings can be changed through GPO.

Thanks for your respons,

 

All sort of changes witch also can be made in the option menu's. By exampel

a like to set the time for the warning messages (new mail) in outlook for 30

seconds, in Word set standard safe in .docx, set the categories in outlook,

set standard "print styles" (afdrukstijlen) and so on.

 

When i understand corectly, when i do this with GPO users can't make

chanches and that is not what i want. I want to make defaults wich can be

changed by the user.

Hi,

 

Did it prompt you to install the Activex component when you

browsed to the web page? You need local administrator

rights on your workstation for the install.

 

Please reference the Intelligent Application Gateway User

Guide starting at page 150 for more information:
