When connecting to our Windows Server 2008 R2 desktop via MS Rdp tool (latest version), occasionally the connection is closing after displaying "Please wait for the Local Session Manager". The result is that I am unable to get into Windows desktop.
Searching the web gives me a hotfix from Microsoft (https://support.microsoft.com/nl-nl/help/2661001/-please-wait-for-local-session-manager-message-remains-for-several-minutes-when-you-disconnect-from-a-computer-that-is-running-windows-server-2008-or-windows-server-2008-r2-during-the-logon-process) which doesn't seem to be downloadable any more.
Also the tip to delete some "usrclass.dat" files did not work (
https://discussions.citrix.com/topic/291092-please-wait-for-the-local-session-manager/?p=1624478) because the files can't be deleted since they're "in use".
Only solution is to reboot Windows, but that's highly impractical for a production web server.
Windows is running virtually on VMWare's Vsphere.
Deleting usrclass.dat DID the trick here. But of course you have to delete this file logged in with admin-account...

Running Windows 2019 servers in my lab.
An application has a SQL client. But the client cannot find an ODBC connection.
Created a "System DSN" via the ODBC Data Source administrator (32-bit). As I usually do in my lab. I found some articles on registry placement, all appear OK. I compare another server and that machine has no issue.
Both 2019 servers are on the latest MS hotfixes.
I'm found no specific articles that can help me isolate the fault. I see no errors in the Windows Event Logs.
ODBC System DSN passes testing in the configuration window.
Can anyone help?
The overall picture that I am trying to achieve is for me and three other people to connect remotely to a client's network and use Lotus Designer 8.5.3 FP6 to access the client's Domino servers. We will each have our own logons to the client's Citrix environment which runs a Windows 7 desktop, then using Remote Desktop concurrently connect to PC(s) within the client's network to run Lotus Designer from there. (Lotus Designer is not available on the Citrix desktop.)
The issue is that the client is wanting to avoid having four separate physical PCs set up waiting for us to log in. They have Windows Server 2012 Standard virtual machines available.
First question: Can the Lotus Designer client 8.5.3 FP6 run on Windows Server 2012 Standard VM? I know that it is not officially supported, but is there any reason why it wouldn't work?
If it can run, then the second question: Is it possible for all four people to use remote desktop to concurrently log in to one Windows Server 2012 Standard VM, which has a separate instance of Lotus Designer 8.5.3 FP6 installed per user? (and of course run the separate instances of Designer concurrently) Or would we need four separate Windows Server 2102 Standard VMs?
Thanks for any light that can be shed on these questions.
First of all: Designer 8.5.3FP6 will run on Windows Server 2012 although not officially supported.
To start the designer concurrently you need to "fake" a multiuser- installation:
Before installing create an extra drive, e.g. by using "subst".
You might need to do this twice, once for the user himself, once in an elevated prompt, so that installer can access it.
e.g. subst D: C:\NotesUserA
Then you install program and data directory into D:
After that you copy C:\NotesUserA\IBM\Notes to C:\NotesUserB\IBM\Notes, C:\NotesUserC\IBM\Notes, and so on.
In loginscript make sure, that for every user the right Folder is mapped as "D:".
That way it should be possible to start Notes concurrently in different sessions.
I have updated the server recently (only those recommended security update from the windows server), after installation i had to restart the windows server, however after restarting the server, all the port are closed and I have no access with RDP (no access to sql server database, no access to tfs ...) . currently i can access to the server only over the ssl and i have access only to the cmd consul on the server. can any body help?(the server is in the ISP and it is a dedicated server).
Cause:
installation first kb2667402 then the Sp 1 update
effect:
No RDP available
Windows blocks users right and give no right to start the services
e.x
The TFS Service uses TFSSERVICE USER, but win2008r2 block this user and say this user is not exist!
what we have done:
uninstall the kb2667402
after Uninstalling the kb2667402, i have exported the installed update and proved that the updated has been successfully removed.
delete and copy the old version of the rdpcorekmts.dll in system32
reconfiguration of the RDP and add a new port and rule for firewall
reset the firewall and add the new rule (we made a back up)
add the Teamviewer portable version with a fix password, but we cannot access to the TV, "Authentication rejected"
Installed RAdmin--> no access: the user name or password is wrong!
try to connect with Computer management from my pc to the server and get the error: RPC Sever is Unavailable
I have stop the firewall and had access from my pc Event Viewer to remote server and could follow the errors on the server.

I have tried all the thing but didnt solve the problem. an idea how to solve the problem?
I have done some research, based on the problem that my single server gives me when I try to open a document library in windows explorer from the ribbon menu item "Open in Windows Explorer".
The same problem occurs when I try to map sharepoint to a folder in windows explorer too.
The error is:
Your client does not support opening this list with Windows Explorer
From the net, suggestions are:
(Since I'm trying this operation from server itself) enable Desktop Experience
Install the KB907306 update.
Enable IIS webDav service (Some say, it's just for additional functions from the MS Whitepaper)
(Edit) Started webClient service
I've already done them. Nothing changed. Proper machine restart and iis too have done.
Need some serious advice.
Thanks in advance.
Not sure if we are having exactly the same problem BUT I have had similar problem while accessing SP via Windows Explorer in Windows Server 2k8.
What I done to fix it is following:
Install new server feature called Desktop Experience (it comes with WebDAV redirector, which allows you to connect to WebDAV) - Note: Server will need to be restarted.
In Services start WebClient service (go to properties and make sure it starts automatically)
You will now be able to access your sharepoint via entering network path such as \sharepointhost\application\myawesomeapplication\ etc.
Hope that helps.
If you are trying to do this from the server, test it from a server which is not on the SharePoint farm (or better yet, a client machine). Ensure all of your testing is done from machines which are not on the farm.
Do NOT enable the IIS WebDAV service, as SharePoint provides its own WebDAV service and the IIS one overrides it in the pipeline. Enabling this service is a sure path to breaking WebDAV.
If you have SSL enabled, you may be in for a rough time getting it to work. Start by understanding how to use the 'net use' command, and the #SSL suffix.
make sure your webdav is installed as feature
make the following registry fix (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/841215) :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WebClient\Parameters
Add a new DWORD "BasicAuthLevel" and change this to "2"
Restart your machine (and make sure it is enabled in IIS)
Make sure that WebClient windows service is running in the server. This shall appear in client operating systems like Windows 7, windows 8 however, on the server operating systems like Windows Server 2008, it shall be installed by enabling the server feature "Desktop experience" using Server Manager
This issue nearly killed me. I found that I was using a 64 bit version of my browser and that is'nt supported. I changed over to the 32 bit and it works.
Hello all I have a backed up about 30 servers using disk2vhd and now I have built my first of many hyper-v severs I did not realize this is all command line I did download CoreConfigurator and that does have some functionality I have been looking for. My question is how do I get the VHD files to run a Vitual Machines? its all command line I tried via vbs to mount the VHD's and I have not been able to any help on this would be great!
Thanks!
If you are using servercore, You maybe can do everything from the command line but I always prefer to have one computer running a Non server core version of windows 2008 to be the management server. You will load up Hyper-V manager on the non server core box and manage your Hyper-V server.
To have no "management" servers or desktops on your network will be a big pain IMO for management.
Using Hyper-V Manager you can quickly load the VHD's as VM's.
So load up Hyper-V Manager on a desktop PC on your localnet, and use its connect option to connect to your servercore. (Make sure your firewall settings are ok on servercore using coreconfig)
