At the samba lists, we have found several old questions about problems wit
W2K-Terminal Services vs Samba (dated in December 2000). But we canīt get
actual information about HOW TODAY (January 2004) the problem is fixed. We
have this situacion and we need solve it.
There are three main issues to consider regarding terminal services:
- As a DC of terminal-services member servers we failed to store the required information. This is fixed for tdbsam and ldapsam in currently rc 3.0.2.
- MAX_CONNECTIONS. The issue was that we would only allow 128 connections from a single terminal server. We now allow an unlimited number of shares to be connected, in currently rc 3.0.2
- All connections on the same TCP/IP connection. This is the worst issue, as far as terminal-server users are concerned. Unlike on client PCs, each and every session on a terminal server uses the same connection to Samba. This means that Samba slows down, as it switches between users, and as other delays in the system cause the entire scheme to block.
Both problems can be worked around, by making the win2k server think that the samba server has multiple identities. For example, an lmhosts file, or wins-server hacks, can give each user their own 'profile server', for loading their roaming profile and home server from. It's still the same server, but win2k doesn't know that. (you then need to modify each users properties).
