  • 1. Thin client?
    I have implemented a TS at a school and am now trying to evaluate whether we should purchase thin clients for the new classrooms going in. The students in these classrooms use Microsoft Office and Internet Explorer, so have no need to access the local drive (My Documents is redirected). Is thin client the best way to go, or are others of you just building scaled-down computers without floppy, CD drive, and a small hard drive? Then, you can use the computer for something else if needed? If you are using thin client, which manufacturer is recommended, and what is the price range? Thanks so much for any input...
  • 2. Temporary license expiring
    Situation: Windows XP Home client connecting to Windows 2000 Terminal Server using a Windows 2003 Small Business Server as the license server for Terminal Services. A temporary license is handed out instead of a installed CAL from the activated license server. Related Microsoft Articles: 837321, 837211, 887443, 201371, 273566, 822134, 323597 Ugly workaround: Similar to article #201371, I stopped TSLicensing service and renamed TLSLic.edb to TLSLic.old. Starting the service resulted in the removal of all client information including valid installed CALs. The client is granted a 90 day license. Anyone with a solution is invited to respond Thanks, :Damian
  • 3. RDP blocked when VPN established 2003 Server
    Hi, I have a hosted 2003 server (web edition) and use RDP to control it. Works fine. Just tried to establish a VPN connection (using the network connection wizard etc.) from the server to an external router. The VPN establishes and immediately RDP drops, reconnect tries all fail. If I use my remote hardware console, disconnect the VPN connection, my RDP comes back again. NB I believe that all network access has been blocked when the VPN connects (web sites became inaccessible). This is very difficult to debug remotely - as the hardware interface is CR*P ;-). Any ideas why establishing a VPN shoulf kill RDP and other traffic. NB Sorry if this is posted in the wrong forum - as it may be a more generic networking fault I guess - and not just RDP. Thanks Graham
  • 4. Terminal Server Licensing
    How can I check what license server my Terminal server is using? How can I change it if I need to? Thanks! Keith
  • 5. connecting a client to terminal services
    I configured terminal services on a 2003 server, it is in testing mode. Tried connecting thru RDP on a client and i receive a message that I need to be a member of the remote desktop users group, which I am. I cannot connect.

A working printer keeps going offline

We have a networked Brother printer that can be accessed and printed
to by anyone and everything except via the terminal server. It says
offline and when we try to bring it online it says Operation could not
be completed.

All other printers are just fine, and the web interface to the printer
says everything is goow. Help!

Please. It's the owners printer.

Hi,

How did you install the printer on the TS?

Is it being auto-created or did you install it locally on the TS?

Which printer driver are you using?  Is the printer driver 
compatible with TS?

Which model Brother printer is this?

1.Printer Keeps Going Offline

I have an HP OfficeJet 7210 All-In-One Printer connected to my router 
It has always worked fine.

I recently replaced my old XP laptop with a new laptop running Vista
Home 32 bit and since that time, I have an issue with the printer
constantly going "offline" at seeming random times.

When this occurs, if I attempt to print anything, it shows as "pending"
in the print que but does not print until the laptop is rebooted.

I thought it may have something to do with the laptop going into sleep
mode (as I saw others post about that problem), however, that is not the
case with mine ---this morning, I printed a document, then a few minutes
later, attempted to print another one and the printer was now "offline".

Any ideas?

2.Printer Driver keeps going offline

My printer's driver seems be set at " offline " at times.

I turn the computer off when not in use, & I don't think the setting
goes to "offline" while the computer is on, only if I turn the
computer off.  

& I cannot say if it always happens when the computer is turned off
either.

It should always say " ready " right?

It's not a real big deal, as I can always access the control panel &
set it to " ready ", but it is a pain in the butt, especially of I am
on the Interent & want to print something.

I don't think it matters, but it is a Brother MFC 5100C USB driver.
(Could it be the driver's fault somehow?)

3.Printers keep going offline for no reason

All 4 of the printers in our offline on the network keep going offline. 
Sometimes if we delete all items in the queue and recycle the power they 
come back online.  It is a completely random occurrence, I have checked the 
network cables, I can ping the printers, but sometimes they bring themselves 
back online, other times they don't!  They are all different brands or 
models but it happens to any of them.  Three are over five years old and 
never had this problem until recently.

What else can I check?


4.Printers keep going offline

We have three printers on our network that are shared by everyone.  They are 
different brands and different ages.
Randomly any one of them will stop printing and if you look at the 
properties it will say that printer is offline.  Sometimes removing 
everything from the print queue and restarting it works.  Sometimes you have 
to power if off completely.  Sometimes nothing works.  The print spooler on 
the server and PC never seems to be stopped, and stopping and starting it 
doesn't change anything.
But, a few hours, or days later, all of a sudden it is online again as 
though nothing happened.  This happens at least once a week, to a random 
printer.

What would cause this?



5.Printer keeps going offline

I have 2 networked computers, one XP and one Vista, sharing a printer through 
a wireless router. The printer is always online with the XP, but regularly 
drops offline with the Vista. I've found no way to get the printer back 
online execpt to reinstall it. How can I prevent this, or at least to get the 
printer back online without reinstalling?
