Issue(s) Resolved in this Hotfix
- In an environment where multiple administrators are performing session management tasks on a single computer running Presentation Server, the IMA service might terminate unexpectedly or the tasks might fail to complete.
[From PSE450W2K3001][#159839] - On occasion, servers might experience a fatal error on wdica.sys with a stop code of 0x50.
[From PSE450W2K3020][#158549] - Server sessions might assume a down state, sometimes with only the CSRSS.exe process running with above average memory consumption.
[From PSE450W2K3020][#162750] - Pressing a key continually to type the same character multiple times might cause bursts of three or four characters to appear rather than each character being echoed in sequence. Additionally, moving the mouse over a Start menu item or dragging a window might appear somewhat choppy in focus or movement. This fix introduces support for the following two registry settings to change the display behavior:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Terminal Server\Wds\icawd\thin16
Name: FrameBuildupTime
Type: REG_DWORD
Data: <delay in milliseconds; default=95, range: 10-200>
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Terminal Server\Wds\icawd\thin16
Name: FrameReviewTime
Type: REG_DWORD
Data: <delay in milliseconds; default=30; range: 10-200, but no more than FrameBuildupTime>
[From PSE450W2K3020][#163664] - NeoLinux client sessions might terminate unexpectedly.
[From PSE450W2K3021][#159382] - The Access Management Console reports the following error after logging off a session and then refreshing the Sessions view:
"An error occurred. Try performing the task again."
[From PSE450W2K3021][#159586] - Servers might experience a fatal error on vdtw30.dll and restart after installing Presentation Server 4.5.
[From PSE450W2K3021][#162915] - In an environment that allows only one instance of an application per user, attempts to reconnect to a disconnected session might fail, displaying the error message "You already have an instance of this application open and are not allowed to run more than one instance".
[From PSE450W2K3021][#164054] - Idle seamless sessions might not disconnect at the specified timeout interval.
