Hello,

In the last 3 months we have had two terminal servers go down on us in our
remote offices. Unfortunately, whenever this happens, until the server is
removed from AD, our RWW is rendered useless. It hangs looking for the
broken server.

Is there anyway we can set the servers RWW looks for instead of
automatically? Sometimes it takes 2 weeks to get to these servers.

Cheers,

Amanda

Hi Amanda

AFAIK the only way is to bring the TS back on line or have the person who
maintains your server remove the TS from AD until it can be brought back up
and rejoined.

If the remote servers are down hard and not pingable or otherwise partially
functionaly RWW should not be searching for them.

Do they just need to be rebooted, or did they need to be rebuilt? If rebuilt
or restored, there should be no issue in removing them from AD in the
interim. 2 WEEKS?, Pretty remote servers I guess.

You could disable TS from RWW completly but that would affect your other TS
servers as well.

I wonder if the TS boxes are also DC's?

Normally, if a TS box is unavailable at the time the RWW page is generated
(when somebody accesses it), it simply doesn't show any TS connection. If a
DC is missing, that's another matter.
