Wyse winterminals in TS 2008

Hi all

My client has got a mixture of windows pc and older S10 and 1200LE Wyse terminals, mainly the latter two

I have installed a new TS server as part of the upgrade process and I have reached the point where I am ready for the clients to connect

The client currently runs a Citrix Metaframe XP environment on Win2k servers.

When I try to connect through the pc's all is ok. When I try through the Wyse terminals the screen flickers and returns to the connection console.

Is there anything I can do to set up a normal rdp connection on the Wyse terminals in order to get them to connect as expected?

Thanks

Dom

This link should help you. You may also need to update the firmware on your Wyse terminals for the newer RDP protocol.

Hi oztrodamus,

Yeah I figured I might, but I was just wondering if there was a workaround. I am not sure the client has got a support contract with Wyse and whether we'd be able to get the firmware we need

I'll update you if I get anything working!

Thanks

Dom- is IE installed on the thin clients? If so have them connect via the WI.

Hi dnsguru44

No all I get is the green console with "connection manager" on it

Looks like and old windows 3.1 screen!

There is no RDP client installed? Since it's the WYSE OS it looks a little different.

hi,

erm. I'm not sure as i'm not on site

all i can remember is that it hasa green desktop with the ability to create new connections for either ICA or RDP

Can I install a different RDP client? If so how?

I am pretty new to the Wyse clients to be honest, though I do like them :-)

Thanks

Good luck, let me know how it goes...

The RDP client is upgraded with the firmware upgrade.

Ah ok, makes sense!

I'm not sure I can get hold of the new firmware to be honest, tho I'll try

I'll update the question on Friday

Hi dnsguru44 / oztradamus

I managed to get into the clients a day early and made a few registry changes to the Terminal Server, namely the ones found here:

http://www.sepago.de/helge/2007/09/12/programmatically-determining-terminal-server-mode-on-windows-server-2008/

I tried to connect to the server using the Wyse terminals and it all worked a treat.

Thanks again for all your help on this.

Hi oztradamus,

When I installed the TS role I selected the second option allowing for older clients to connect but with no luck.

Whether there was something else I was required to do in order to stop NLA being required I wasn't aware of it, however this seems to have allowed the older clients through now

Thanks
