Windows 2012 Server Questions

Post by dcipher » Fri Jul 25, 2014 6:32 pm

Hi

I installed TSPlus ver 7.60.7.22 on a Windows 2012 server. I can access my custom database application from the browser but I get a readonly warning on my data tables when I try to run the application. The Windows User is setup with full control on that folder so where do I change the security settings to remove the read only issue.

Secondly if I try to access the server with the default Remote Desktop Connection client from my PC it reports that it stopped working. Before I installed TSPlus I could access the server with my remote desktop client. Can I have the ability to access the server from TSPlus and the remote desktop client. This server is hosted in a data centre and the data centre administrators access the server using Remote Desktop Client so I do not want to interfere with their access to the server.

Thirdly can I have separate upload folder for each user so that each users cannot see files from other users?

Thank-you
Simon

It appears that I have resolved issue #2 as I am able to access the server from either the browser or a remote desktop client. So now I just need to solve the read only problem and the upload folders.

I found that when the application was published it was setup to start in the wrong folder which resulted in the readonly access. So the only issues I have left are separate upload folders for each Windows Users and to find out if I can remote control or shadow a session as you can in Terminal Services.

The shadowing a session is important for training and technical support.

Shadowing Session in Windows 2012 Server

Once you set the group policy to allow Remote Control without user consent you can use the following batch file to shadow or remote control a session. The bottom part of this article shows you how to set the group policy in Windows Server 2012 R2.

Code: Select all

@echo off
set /p session="Enter the Session ID to shadow:"
mstsc.exe /shadow:%session% /control /noConsentPrompt
