Re: Time zone redirection

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Well - I have FINALLY managed to fix that issue - and YES it is a licensing
issue.

I had to install a 'TS Licensing Server' (and activate it) - then change the
settings on my Terminal Server to 'Per User' mode.

Now - when I connect - my TimeZone is correctly implemented.

So - two issues remain :

1. WHY do the configuration tools (including RSOP) fail to point this out.
They incorrectly state that the policies are enabled etc. and make no
mention of the fact that as the TS is not licensed and activated, these
settings will be ignored. This has cost me a days work to get this far!!.

2. Will this setup work on a Windows 2003 Server (Web Edition) ?? - as per
my original posting. If not - then this whole exercise has been a complete
waste of time.

Many Thanks

Regards

Graham

Vera,

Is this simply a licensing issue ????.

I am trying to use the 2 included licenses, as my 'other' user (where I
need TZ control) requires access to administer a specific application and
not full admin rights to the box.

My TS mode is limited to 'Remote Desktop for Administration'.

NB I have a number of additional 2003 CAL's - should these be added, and
if so - will they provide better TS integration ??.

Thanks again...

Graham

Pass-through authentication (username and password for client logon
is passed through to the server) is not a feature of Windows 2003
TS. You would need Citrix for that.

But in your situation, no add-on product could do that for you,
since your local username on the PC has no meaning to the server.
You have to be authenticated on the server, which in your case
means that you have to log in with a username which is a local
account on the server.
Pass-through authentication is only possible with the server and
the PC in the same or trusted domains, and using a domain account
(and Citrix).

But I don't think this is the problem either, because this is a
normal situation (client and server not in same or trusted
domains).

I assume that there is nothing in the EventLog?
I think that my next step would be to enable verbose userenv
logging on the server.

Vera,

I have just tried a few more things....

Using 5.1 and 6

1. SET TZ=EST+05 in my user environment variables on the client

2. Create a server user with the same credentials as my desktop
user.

3. Changing TZ in the tasktray clock as well as the TZ
environment variable

All = same results.

Now here is a thought. The remote system asks for my
credentials, and never seems to be able to accept my Client PC
login ??? - ie the server is assuming that I am a local user,
and so possibly won't use my Client PC's settings ???. I have
yet to figure out how to make RDP try to use my client login
credentials - is this possible and could this be my problem ??.

Thanks

Graham

I don't think that the absense of a AD domain should have any
impact.
For the sake of troubleshooting, can you install the rdp 5.2
client and check if that works?

And you're not connecting to the console session, are you? The
console session always uses the server's time.

Hi,

This problem is driving me mad. Wasted about 5 hours yesterday
trying to get my RDP (V6) client to redirect its timezone to
two different 2003 servers. Neither will work :-( - and always
show the current server time, with admin and standard user
accounts.

Redirection is enabled in LGPO and shows as enabled using
RSOP.

Both 2003 servers are stand-alone no domain or AD in sight. I
guess this is why it doesn't work...

After enabling TZ redirection I set my client (XP Pro X64 -
and an XPPro 32 bit VM) to a different TZ. Then connect to the
server(s) and the desktop clock shows server time. In case it
was just the clock - opened up a cmd prompt and typed TIME -
same result.

One Server 2003 is Web edition with SP2, the other is Standard
with SP1.

Hope someone has some ideas ;-O.

Thanks

Graham
