Windows Terminal Server and printing.

I recommend Thinprint to all Microsoft Windows Terminal Servers users.
This be curs it very simple and at the same time one of the best printing tools for terminal server i have seen.

In the 2 years we have been running Thinprint on our Terminal Server, we never have a outage that we can blame Thinprint for.

When you have install Thinprint, it is a best to disable windows printing on the Terminal server, this can be done in Terminal Services Configuration

In the Terminal Server it’s done this way:
Go into Terminal Services Configuration (Start -> Administrative Tools -> Terminal Services Configuration).
Click on connections.
Right click on RDP-TCP and chose properties.
Click the tab “Client settings”, and click on disable Windows printer mapping.

Now you have disabled the Windows Printing, and only Thinprint is now working.

Arcserve (Brightstor) Linux behind Windows Arcserve R12

We have upgraded a Arcserve (Brightstor) R11.5 to version R12. But behind this one there was install some R11.1 Linux agents. We have been told by CA Support that R12 support R11.1 linux clients. That can maybe be true, but not in our setup. We need to upgraded the R11.1 to R11.5. There is not yet a R12 Agent to Linux out there.

R11.5 can be download from CA Trials page: http://www.ca.com/trials, but remember that you need a R11.5 license.

Terminal server og Thinprint

Har i nogen sinde oplevet problemet med at personer som skal på terminal server, gerne vil have deres printer med?
Hvis ja, så har i sikkert også oplevet problemet med at for printer driver og alt det andet til at fungere.

Vi har nu i en rum haft flere kunder som har benyttet Thinprint. Til terminal server, skal du benytte Thinprint Application server. Så selvom brugeren har 10 printer tilsluttet lokalt, ja så kommer alle 10 printer også med over på terminal serveren uden nogen former for at man skal installere printer driver og andet.

Kontakt evt. It-afdelingen A/S, som er forhandler af produktet.

Forces delete a printer in windows.

I have a problem, where I could not delete a job, and therefore couldn’t delete a printer. The Spool services were using 100% of my CPU.
You can delete the jobs manual, by doing this:

  • Browse to Start –> Run –> Type “cmd” And in the black console type: “net stop spooler” without the quotes
  • Browse to windows\system32\spool\PRINTERS\ You should see files there ending in .SPL and .SHD created around the time you tried to print – delete these files.
  • Go back to the black console, and type “net start spooler” without the quotes
  • Now to the printers and fax unit, to see if the printer queue is empty.

Everything should now be fine.

Apache and Certificate

If you want a sign certificat to use with apache, you need to do this:

openssl genrsa -des3 -out server.key 1024
openssl req -new -key server.key -out server.csr

openssl rsa -in server.key -out server.key.insecure
mv server.key server.key.secure
mv server.key.insecure server.key

Mail the server.csr file to certificat trust. Then you get a file back, rename that file to server.crt

Then you need to change this 2 lines, in apache.conf

SSLCertificateFile /etc/httpd/ssl.crt/server.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/httpd/ssl.key/server.key
