re: Smartcard logon over Terminal Services ( RDP redirection )

xin — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 07:11:56 GMT

will SCardListCards somehow call SCardListReaders in itself?

In a RDP session, traces indicate that SCardListCards sometimes calls into SCardListReaders, and it specifies the hContext as 0xCD00000100000000(on a 64bit machine), even this context was never established or used by any previous SCard calls. This makes our code fail.

Can anyone confirm my observation? Does the hContext value 0xCD00000100000000 have a special meaning?

Thank you! This solved my problem! I still don't know how that audit.csv file appeared on my server in both folders, but it was there. I compared it to another Windows 2008 R2 server which did not have this issue, and the CSV files did no exist.

re: Atbroker.exe - Application Error in Vista

Same problem with AtBroker.exe Error in a Remote Desktop (RDP) from XP to remote Windows 7: it gives black screen on RDP connection after clicking OK.

If Ctrl+Shift+Esc for Taskmanager then same error with taskmanager.

After closing and reopening RDP connection , if Ctrl+Alt+End after clicking OK, then CTRL+Shift+Esc for Taskmanager is OK.

Thanks.
