Can Windows Terminal server do > 256 colours ? - 02/08/2002 10:03
So, two questions:
- does it support more than 256 colours when in application server mode ?
- is there a way to convince it to do more than 256 colours in remote admin mode ?
In reply to:When that happens to me, I just disconnect and reconnect. It doesn't happen often (usually my fault as a (Java) client developer), and the reconnect is quick, so I don't worry about it too much. You didn't say which client you are using, but I think the server side is more likely to fail anyway. The most annoying thing is to spend all day trying to work out why the clipboard channel isn't working, only to discover that the admin has disabled it. Particularly when you realise that the admin in question is yourself!After a bit of use, cut and paste break between the Citrix session and my desktop, so I then have [two] independent clipboards. This becomes a problem when I need to transfer tons of info back and forth. Is there a way to relink the clipboards without having to shut down the session and re open it?
In reply to:If you can't reconnect to a disconnected session, it's probably because your servers are configured to automatically log you out as soon as you disconnect. Bug your admins to configure the servers to keep disconnected sessions around for a while, even if it's only for a couple of minutes. This will enable you to reconnect for issues like this, or for a dodgy wireless LAN connection, but won't impact the servers resources very hard (as people won't have disconnected sessions hanging around for weeks like we do in our test lab). You'll obviously need to do the NT login again (unless you're using a newer, ticket-based authentication), but then it would reattach you to your disconnected session.Unfortunatly here, when I disconnect the session, I am unable to just reconnect to what I was running. I have to go back through the NT login, then the application login to get back to where I am. And it's set up to only run the call logging application, I never get a server side task bar and such.
In reply to:Unfortunately, I can't point you at any particularly server issues because I've never worked on the server code and I just stick to Java where I'm at home. But if it's an issue that affects you and you have a support contract, then make use of it. That would get someone much more knowledgeable than me looking at it.Know of any issues server side that would cause clipboard channel breakage? If there is a specific issue I can point the admins to, they might fix it. I know it happens to multiple people here, and gets annoyning when it does.
