Hey Jesse, if you look back I posted on 9/12/2012, with this thread "Flash
and RDS with Thin clients". Identical issue to what you are seeing. I still
have not resolved the issue. In my case I've got (3) identical RDS severs,
and only one is exhibiting the issue, no idea why. I really think it's a
permissions issue, but haven't found any resolution.  There was an article I
found that discussed the issue and there were steps to reset the permissions
on specific folders, but in my situation id didn't resolve the problem. If
you come up with a fix let us know. I may end up going the Firefox route
until someone finds a solution. 

Thanks,

Subject:        Uggg -- Flash 11.4 on RDS (terminal services) 

  _____  




So at first I thought I was going crazy.  I have a 2008 R2 terminal server
(RDS) that hadn't been updated in many months.  It was running an older
version of Adobe Flash (no, I don't remember which version but something
PRE-June 2012 at least).  In late September, some of the users were saying
that certain websites required a newer version of flash in order to view the
site properly (mostly kid's learning sites).   So I updated Flash to the
latest 11.4 version on the 2008 R2 RDS box.  (I did use the "change user
/install" command before updating Flash.

Since then, nothing but problems.  Anyone aside from the Administrator
cannot properly browse websites.  Going to msn.com, Microsoft.com,
abcya.com, and pretty much ANYTHING that isn't just some basic static
website, takes literally 8-10 minutes to load.  At first I thought the users
were crazy but, after some testing, I was able to verify this was true.  I
uninstalled Flash, and geez, all the problems with websites loading slow is
FIXED.   If I try to reinstall Flash 11.4, the same thing happens, websites
take forever to load.

I thought maybe my 2008 R2 RDS box was messed up so I built a brand new 2008
R2 RDS server. Loaded up Office 2007, Adobe Reader, and a few other apps
that are on the older RDS box.  Then installed Flash 11.4.  Initially,
everything seemed to be working.  Then after a reboot (or maybe 2?), the
EXACT same thing starts happening.  Administrator can access websites fine,
but users cannot, they just have to wait and wait... This happens when the
internet pipe is NOT even 1% utilized.   On this brand new RDS server,
uninstalling Flash 11.4 once again FIXES the problem.  Yet, I need Flash on
it because it's used on a small school lab for learning sites, ughh.

I've tried installing OLDER versions of Flash (11.3, 10.3, etc.) on the new
RDS box after having uninstalled 11.4, but when the older versions are
installed, I cannot even pass the Flash Tests (do you have Flash on your
machine?) from the Adobe site, whether logged in as an administrator or a
user.   So this is happening on *2* different servers, what in the world?!

I did find this

working for me at all. 

Any help here?
