Yeah, but its doesn't work all the time. Also this isn't a permanent fix more of a workaround (thanks though) Mike

Some of my users (randomly) experience a black screen at logon The setup up consists of 3 node cluster of server 2012 R2 remote desktop server (remote desktop session hosts in new money!!!) these are virtual hosted on hyperV, users connect through a gateway if coming in externally or straight via the connection brokers if connecting internally). Clients are W7 RDP version 8.1 I have tried numerous fixes such as enable \ disabling certain features with the RDP file enablecredsspsupport:i:0 bitmapcachepersistenable:i:0 Installing various patches including KB2887595 Deleting users profiles and starting a fresh profile CTRL ALT END killing windows explorer and starting fresh windows explorer (this doesn't always work for all users) Basically all the possible fixes listed here: Windows 2012: Rdp black screen on Windows Server - Grishbi Servers get rebooted every night Memory and CPU adequate Has anybody else got any fresh ideas on this one? Ta Mike

Used it before, sometimes servers that do work suddenly stop updating...its one of the many things I try to get updates working again Mike

try netsh winhttp import proxy source=ie Then run windows update Just had the same error myself, this fixed it :-) Cheers Mike

I have this working correctly in my environment, if you want we can set up a remote session and I can show you how I have done it (pm me if interested) Mike

Save your self the hassle, inform the users that you are creating a new standard corporate desktop (we have this in our place, different ones for different users) Just redirect the desktop to a share (give them read and execute rights) Create GPO as below and assign to the user group. Result = no files on desktop, no lost work, no long log on :-) Mike

Microsoft SyncToy is a good tool to sync /migrate files Download SyncToy 2.1 from Official Microsoft Download Center

As Michael says, you should be looking to create a .txt file looking something like this with all your users listed, then copy it all into a cmd prompt and run iCACLS F:\Students\yearof09\cowansrb01 /grant:r DOMAIN\bloggsf01:(OI)(CI)F /T /C

Besides the settings in your RDP file ref printers create a GPO Computer\Policies\Administrative Templates\Printers\Point and print Restrictions ENABLED That should let the users install drivers Also do you use a gateway server? might be worth checking that you have no connection policies blocking device redirection Mike

Looks like a different error to the windows 7 one and deffo related to internet explorer...cant remember the exact error off the top of my head. But the fix used in windows 7 was to edit the unattatended.xml find false and change to Reload the deployment share and bobs your uncle Mike

Hi These are the cmds I use to bulk create mailboxes for existing users (I use a spread sheet and create massive list of the same cmds with the different user names), I hide these users form the address book (only staff use the address book) I also give them a cu tdown version of outlook web access (don't want them faffing about stuff) CMD TO CREATE MAIL BOXES Enable-Mailbox -Identity DOMAIN_NAME\BLOGGS01 -Database EXDB01 CMD TO HIDE FROM ADDRESS LIST Set-Mailbox -Identity BLOGGS01 -HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled $true CMD TO APPLY CUT DOWN OUTLOOK POLICY Set-CASMailbox -Identity BLOGGS01 -OwaMailboxPolicy:STUDENTS_OWA Hope this helps Mike

GPO User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Explorer\Hide these drives in My Computer [Restrict all drivers] User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Explorer\Prevent access to drives from My Computer [Restrict A, B, C and D drivers only] The above settings are what we use in our environment achieves the restriction that require. Cheers Mike

For what its worth ours is a similar setup to yours FN-GM, users here also experience slow first login to OWA Mike

The reg key for running the updater on start up is here [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run] "SunJavaUpdateSched"="\"C:\\Program Files\\Common Files\\Java\\Java Update\\jusched.exe\" Create a GPO /reg delete to delete this key, then it can't run Mike
