Terminal Service Plus

Hi all

I have a very well speced Windows 7 PC and I am having an issue with mapped drives.

Once I hit about 15 users the mapped network drives fail.

If I disconnect the drives and attempt to reconnect I get the below message...
Can anybody suggest a solution and a reason for the problem?

Thanks to all

Doesn't your event log give more details? How many connections does each user have?
Seems like there's some limits on the number of connections a share can has (when it's not a Windows Server):

Clearly one would think that the TSplus system is catering for more that 5 or 6 users???

Event Logs are offering no further insight.

After recommended changes the issue restriction is still persisting. This is a limitation of Windows 7 and or the TSplus install.

I am running your desired Windows 7 Pro.
It is a i7 3.20GHZ 8 core, 64 Bit OS with 16GB of RAM.

There are no massive resource drains, minimal CPU usage and physical memory in use is only pushing just above 20% when all users in. The largest usage is the HTML5Service / Java Platform.

The issue creeps in at 5 or 6 users.

From their local PCs, they can no longer browse any network connections to that TSplus PC. They soon reach a point when attempting a local PC browse via a UNC Path to the TSplus machine, that it is also refused?

In creating clients EXEs I have reduced Local devices to just C:\ Drive for printing.

Your supplied information is interesting but not applicable. All is already done and is running very lean.


*Does the TSplus system not cater for this total number of users???

To date I have not needed to exceed 5 users. This is very strange. Can you not thinks of a resource of change that perhaps that has not been implemented and causing this restriction?
They must have other sites with more users on like setups.?

Just so that you are all clear on the situation, the local PCs cannot browse to mapped shares on the TSplus machine.

I only have 2 PCs attempting to do this out of all the users.

When all the users are in, these 2 TSplus sessions, are also being refused connections to that same local share. Again, there is only 2 people attempting to do this...​​​​

I am attempting to setup a location that the Local PC can view that also exists with the TSplus session.

It is not consuming that many connections.

What else is at issue here?

EG: Both within the TSplus session and on the workstation PC, they are both mapping to PC and SHARE \\GEEDEE\
​​​​​​- Drive -\​​​​

Okay, that's a very strange problem. It's not a limitation of TSplus, since I got one server running with 70 users with local shares on 2012R2.
What's the event log ID when this happens? Maybe a useful tool: www.nirsoft.net/utils/full_event_log_view.html

Hello,

If you are using shared folder on the TSplus server which is hosted on a Windows 7 operating system then it is a normal behavior as it is related to a windows limitation. On Windows 2012 you do not have this limitation because of users Cal's allows you to do network sharing on the number of cals purchased. This limitation is active for shared drive accessible with net use command.

To overcome this limit you can either purchase a NAS based on Linux or use the subst command instead of the net use. For example if you publish a logon script with command :

subst T: C:\Shared folder

All your users will then be able to display a T: drive in their session with the content of the C:\Shared folder.

You can also publish this shared folder using the folder application, more information about this can be found here : http://www.terminalserviceplus.com/docs/folder

If your goal is to publish the content of a folder with an exclusive access to each users then follow this procedure :

http://support.tsplus.net/kb/faq.php?id=25
and in the generated script type in the path of your application subst Y: C:\Users\%USERNAME%\your folder

Doing so your user will be able to have access to this drive letter Y:, which will be pointing to their exclusive profile folder. Of course this is only an example.
If you would prefer to redirect their local "My documents" folder or any other specific folder then type in :

subst Y: \\tsclient\c\Users\%USERNAME%\Documents

The final step is to publish an application that will secure the Y: of each users, preventing them from accessing the whole server. To do so, open an admin tool, go to the application tile and click on "Application publishing". Add the folder application located in C:\Program Files (x86)\TSplus\UserDesktop\files.
In the command line option, set the path of your application (Y: in the example above). The last step is to publish this application to your users / groups. Doing so your users will only have access to the content of this folder.

This may help you determine your issue:

It may be the combination of types of connections used.
