Hi All!

We had a lot of issues trying to deploy Sun Ray DTU with Windows 2008 farm.

Ugly! No Session Broker Support (new name of Session Directory on 2008)!
Uttsc segfaults (crashes) when Session Broker sends reconnection information
to a client. So, there is no chance to reconnect disconnected session if
Session Brocker is enabled using Sun Windows Connector. Especially strange,
that old Microsoft Client 5.2.XXXX from XP Embedded based thinclient works
great. Temporary solution was using opensource rdesktop 1.6 because it
doesn't crash (rdesktop 1.6 doesn't support Session Broker too, but users
can logon Windows with it).

Missing Features:

1. User Experience Options Support (rdesktop's -x). So there is no ClearType
fonts support using Sun Windows Connector. Users was very unhappy to see
unantialiased font again on DTU.
2. Network Level Authentication Support (Using RDP Compatibility Mode Now)
3. 32 bit colors. Not realy missed, but...
4. Multimedia Redirection. If you spent some time to develop this "really
important" feature against others, make it work with modern OS like Windows 2008.

Does somebody know a success story using Windows Connector with Windows 2008?

Thanks & WBR
Nik
