I have 30 users on a Terminal Server Windows 2008 R2 named \\NT05.
I have Alfresco 4.0 Community installed on another Windows 2008 R2 named \\DOC with CIFS server activated, with the below properties:
cifs.disableNativeCode=true
cifs.maximumVirtualCircuitsPerSession=96
All it is ok for stand-alone clients running Win XP, 7, etc - all are able to map a local disk O: to the Alfresco CIFS named \\DOC\Documents.
The problem is with 30 users logget to the Terminal Server NT05 …
At the beginning of their session the users are able to access the remote share mapping the disk O: to \\DOC\Documents (the CIFS servr on Alfresco). But after some variable time the share disappears and it is impossible to contact the remote share until I restart the Terminal Server NT05.
I know that Terminal Server relies on the underlying Windows operating system to establish the transport for the client pool, and Windows will only issue ONE TCP/IP connection to the remote server – this results in all virtual client sessions and share mounts on \\NT05 being multiplexed over a single TCP/IP transport pipe to the remote server (\\DOC)
To resolve the issue, at first I'm trying on the Terminal Server \\NT05 to maintain a separate TCP virtual circuit per EACH user - this for allow separate connections to the remote \\DOC\Documents share per each user.
In the past on old Windows servers, you can allow each terminal server client to maintain a separate virtual circuit using `regedt32`, navigate to: `HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Rdr\Parameters` and adding a value named `MultipleUsersOnConnection` as a type `REG_DWORD` entry and setting the data value to 0.
I'm not able to find the same registry setting for Windows Server 2008 R2 with Remote Desktop Services rolde installed.
How I can maintain a separate TCP virtual circuit per each user to access the remote share instead the only one that transports multiple virtual circuits ?
In older Windows server the registry keys was named also MultiUserEnabled or EnableMultiUser or MultipleUsersOnConnection … I think …
Beside the above soluton, anyone experienced the same issu on Terminal Server 2008 R2 to lost the connections to the Alfresco CIFS server ?
Thank you in advance,
