March 26th, 2009

To resolve this problem, follow these steps:

  1. Log on to the system by using an administrative user account other than the user account that is experiencing the problem.
  2. Back up all data in the current user’s profile folder if the profile folder still exists, and then delete the profile folder. By default, the profile resides in the following location:
    %SystemDrive%\Users\UserName
  3. Click Start, type regedit in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER.

  4. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click Continue.
  5. Locate the following registry subkey:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList
  6. Under the ProfileList subkey, delete the subkey that is named SID.bak.

    Note SID is a placeholder for the security identifier (SID) of the user account that is experiencing the problem. The SID.bak subkey should contain a ProfileImagePath registry entry that points to the original profile folder of the user account that is experiencing the problem.

  7. Exit Registry Editor.
  8. Log off the system.
  9. Log on to the system again.

After you log on to the system, the profile folder is re-created.

Add the terminal server to the Session Directory Computers group

To resolve this issue, add the computer account for the terminal server to the Session Directory Computers local group on the TS Session Broker server.

To perform this procedure, you must have membership in the local Administrators group, or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority.

To add the computer account for the terminal server to the Session Directory Computers local group:

  1. On the TS Session Broker server, open the Local Users and Groups snap-in. To open Local Users and Groups, click Start, click Run, type lusrmgr.msc, and then click OK.
  2. If the User Account Control dialog box appears, confirm that the action it displays is what you want, and then click Continue.
  3. In the left pane, click Groups.
  4. In the right pane, right-click the Session Directory Computers group, and then click Properties.
  5. Click Add.
  6. In the Select Users, Computers, or Groups dialog box, click Object Types.
  7. Select the Computers check box, and then click OK.
  8. Locate and then add the computer account for the terminal server that will use the TS Session Broker server.
  9. Click OK to close the Select Users, Computers, or Groups dialog box, and then click OK to close the Session Directory Computers Properties dialog box.

2. cd to the scripts folder in the Exchange install directory.
%system drive%/Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\Scripts folder.

3. Run the following command:

./install-AntispamAgents.ps1

4. After the script has run, restart the Microsoft Exchange Transport service by running the following command:

Restart-Service MSExchangeTransport

TS Web Access not working – ActiveX not installed or enabled

March 14th, 2009

The TS ActiveX control (needed by TSWA) is disabled by default in XPSP3 as a security measure. You need to explicitly enable the Terminal Services activeX control in IE in order to use the activeX control (and hence TSWA).

as a workaround can you try deleting the following registry keys:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Ext\Settings\{7390f3d8-0439-4c05-91e3-cf5cb290c3d0}

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Ext\Settings\{4eb89ff4-7f78-4a0f-8b8d-2bf02e94e4b2}
