  • 1. XP - Restricting RD to home computer
    Hi. Is there a way to allow users to log into their home PC via remote desktop, but only if they have previously logged onto that machine? In other words, if they previously have a session open they can connect, if they don't they can't login.
  • 2. Locking Down Terminal Services
    Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew of any good articles that explain how to lock down terminal services? I'm setting up a user so that they can remote in to our server but I only want them to be able to access a few locally installed programs. Other than that, I don't want them to be able to access anything else like Administrative Tools etc. Thanks in advance!
  • 3. ts session turns black
    I am working here with Terminal Server 2003 and have the following problem. Sometimes after I have remotely controlled a session the session has turned black when the user gets back to his session.
  • 4. No Printer showing up for a TS user on new WS
    I replaced a workstation on my network and the user does not see ANY printers when she logs in. All users launch RDP to connect via TS to our financial software. I know that TS is picky about print drivers so I try to stick with HP LaserJets that are compliant. This user has made this connection for some time and has always seen her two printers: an OKI Data MicroLine and an HP LaserJet 2020P. For some reason, no printers are showing up at all! Any suggestions! P.S. I just had the user login to a different machine and the printers showed up. Thanks!

Default printer keeps changing

Postby TWF4IFNvdWxsYXJk » Fri, 18 Nov 2005 21:22:03 GMT 

Hi

I have several users using TS to connect to another site. I am having 
problems with the default printers changing for some users. When the users 
log on for the first time they select a printer as the default printer, they 
log off and back on and the default printer changes to a different printer. 
The printers are installed via a log on script, and the client local printers 
are also installed on their session. I cannot add on the script the line that 
sets a default printer, objPrinter.SetDefaultPrinter 
\\ServerName\PrinterName,since I have several users and they use different 
printers as their default. Any suggestion on how to make sure that once a 
default printer is selected by the user it remains when the user reconnects.

Thanks

default printer keeps changing

Postby Lenny » Tue, 19 Feb 2008 07:04:39 GMT 

Hi,
One of my users logs on via remote desktop but the default printer in the 
printer list keeps changing. I am able to change it back again but seem to 
have to do this everyday. At the moment the default seems to stay whilst 
logged on but changes after logging off. Not sure why this would be the case 
as the user is on a LAN with 20 other users and it is stable. Nobody else 
has ever had this problem.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Can you check if the user who is encountering the problem has local printers 
installed?

Thx. Alice

1.Default Printer Keeps Changing 

The default printer on my 2000 server keeps changing.  
This causes a problem because I am running scripts on the 
server to print to the default printer.  I cannot seem to 
find out when the change occurs.  I have downloaded the 
latest driver and re-installed the printer with no luck. 
No other users connect to this server it is used as an app 
server.

Thank you for any ideas.

2.Default printer keeps changing??? 

Users who log into a windows 2003 terminal server, every now and then their
default printer changes to another printer (we don't have any epson
printers).  This is not very consistent but starting to annoy some users!
I've checked through google and ms knowledge base - has anyone come across
this annoying problem???

TIA

3.default printers keep changing 

Hi I am running windows 2000 standard with about 40 users in a domain model.  
All users use terminal services and also print from terminal services.  The 
printers are all either installed on the terminal server or are mapped from 
the users local machine when the user logs in.  The problem is that the 
default printer is changing every morning regardless of what it was set to 
the day before.  Users authenticate from the active directory on a seperate 
server.

4.Default Printer keeps changing in TS profiles. 

My users set their default printer in their TS profile.  Then the next time 
they log in it has changed.  Sometimes it will change with a different 
application startup.

It typically resets to a remote site printer I have.

How do I get it to stop changing user profile default printers?

I am running Windows Terminal Server 2000 and Windows XP sp2 on the 
workstations.

5.Default Printer keeps changing. 

We are running Windows 2003 Terminal services.
We have several IP networked printers setup on the Terminal server itself, 
with security set on each so that only certain printers show up for certain 
users when they log on.  Some of our users complain that their default 
printer keeps getting changed to the Faxmaker printer, the one with the last 
letter in the alphabet.  These users don't log on from home, and our servers 
are setup to restart every night.  Any idea's?
