Ramblings on IT

To follow up on my post and Susan’s blog post, see below for a message I received on the SBSC MS support newsgroups. I did NOT do it this way, but thought to stick it here in case someone else finds it useful (i.e. in case it works without resetting IE).

For one of the PC’s I did a reset on, and RWW/RDP is working. . .the key under HKLM in ‘Operation 1′ is NOT  there (looking for “{7584C670-2274-4EFB-B00B-D6AABA6D3850}” and NOT “ClsID”). The key IS there under HKCU as described in Operation 2′.

Note the “Key name” is “{7584C670-2274-4EFB-B00B-D6AABA6D3850}” and not “ClsID”. . .

. . . this is a known issue which hasn’t been fixed. However, you can check if the following workaround can be applied to the workstation:

1. Click Start-> Run  type Regedit  Then open register list.
2. Follow the below operation 1 or operation 2 to modify the register: ClsID: {7584C670-2274-4EFB-B00B-D6AABA6D3850}

Operation 1. two Methods to enable the “TS Component” displayed in “Add-on Management” list.
==================
a. Add Key Under:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Ext\PreApproved
The Key name is ClsID.

b. Add Key Under:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Ext\Stats
The Key name is ClsID,
and then, add subkey, “iexplore”
and then, add “DWORD Value” in “iexplore” key, value name “Flags”, set value to 4

Operation 2. Enable the component could be used in IE7, delete key: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Ext\Settings\ClsID
==================
1. Close the register.
2. Open website. Direct to the Remote web workplace.
3. click Connect to Server Desktops . It will show a warning, then click OK button.
4. On the right-below of web, there will occur a little-image of warning, move cursor on it, it will show Manage add-ons
5. Double click the little-image, show a dialog Manage Add-ons
6. Confirm the Show: items is add-ons currently loaded in Internet Explorer
7. On the Disabled item, click Microsoft Terminal Services Client Control (redist) 
8. On the Manage Add-ons  dialog down, in Settings scope, choose Enable  it will pop a dialog, click OK button
9. Click OK button.
