Re: Remote Desktop

Hi,

Windows 2003 does not allow you to enable Remote Desktop, if you are using
Offline files. It will also no allow you to enable Offline files, if you are
using Remote Desktop or Terminal Server. Run gpedit.msc on the server again
and navigate to the following key:

Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Network\Offline Files

Setting: Allow or Disallow use of the Offline Files Feature

Setting Options:

Not Configured

Enabled

Disabled

If this setting is set to either Enabled or Disabled the option to configure

Offline Folder is grayed out. I suggested RSoP because it generates group
policy that is applied to your computer (domain or local). I was also able
to find a registry key that disables Offline files and enables you RDC:

HKEY LOCAL MACHINE/SYSTEM/CURRENT CONTROL SET/TERMINAL SERVER. Open and
modify the key fDenyTSConnections to >0<.

Anton Pegan

Thanks Anton,

I have run the RSOP with the server which i cannot configure for RD, and a
member server which is working fine. The only difference i can see is an
entry in the Extra Registry Settings, No Active Desktop, which is set to
'1',
apparently set in the local group policy on the working server. Would this
have an affect??

It is very strange...

Andy,

Discard my previous post, because I misunderstood your question and the
changes won't help. Run Resultant Set of Group Policy instead to see if
there are any changes for the Offline files.

1.. Start / Run, type mmc
2.. Click File and Add/Remove Snap-in
3.. Click Add
4.. Scroll down to Resultant Set of Group Policy and click Add
5.. From the Action menu choose Generate RSoP
6.. Open Computer Configuration \ Administrative Templates \ Network \
Offline Files
7.. See if there are any settings
Export and the delete all the values, except the default value, in the
following registry key:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Netcache

Sorry for the mistake. Hope this will help.

Anton Pegan

Hi,

I am trying to enable Remote Desktop on my Windows 2003 Standard member
server. It says that to enable i must disable Offline Files.

On attempting this, the "Enable Offline Files" is greyed out so that i
cannot deselect it.

Any ideas how i can sort this out so that i can disable offline files
