Re: HP Thin Client T520 ThinPro Blocks while using RDP

Hi,

 

Yes, when I updated Java and the new FreeRDP throughout the manual Easy Update program everything worked fine afterwards.

 

If you already did that, try see if the resolution set on your server is the same resolution as set on the FreeRDP.

 

Hope to help!

freerdp will not connect to server 2008r2 after CredSSP update

$

I updated Thinpro 5.2 with  HP's freerdp-1.1hp13b patch for the changes to the CredSSP protocol necessary to connect to servers patched for CVE-2018-0886. After changing  the thinpro registry key "requireEncryptionOracleRemediation" from '0' to '1' to enforce strict connection behavior on the client, I cannot connect to Win 7 or server 2008r2.

 

Win 7 and 2008r2 are both patched with Microsoft's update https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4093492/credssp-updates-for-cve-2018-0886-march-13-2018

 

In the regeditor - Freerdp "requireEncryptionOracleRemediation" with value set to '0' I can rdp just fine.

If I set the value to '1' (enforce), I cannot connect to a Win 7 computer or 2008r2 term server, I get a small window popup that says "Authentication Failure". I can remote to Win 10 and server 2012r2 just fine with value '1'.

I have very generic settings, the Freerdp connection settings are "Enable deprecated RDP encryption" unchecked, server IP, user/password, TLS1.2,  default cert setting.

The Win7 and 2008r2 are set with Network Level Authentication checked in remote desktop settings.

Local Group Policy > "Encryption Oracle Remediation". I have tried each one of these "Vulnerable or Mitigate or Forced".

 

Is there something I am missing on the client or server side settings that the value '1' is looking for to connect? 

Is the HP freerdp-1.1hp13b patch at fault?

 

Thanks

Re: HP Z230 TPM and Intel PTT

the z230 supports TPM (v1.2 as i recall)

--------------------------------------------

 

PTT implements the equivalent of a TPM 2.0-compliant Trusted Platform Module within the firmware running on the Intel Management Engine (ME). It provides the benefits of a TPM without actually having one.

 

in order to utilize PTT, your platform must be running a version of the ME firmware that contains PTT support. ME firmware is typically installed as part of the BIOS package and would be redundant if the Bios has support for TPM

 

in other words, your Bios will either support TPM or PPT, but not both and support for either is optional, and may not be enabled/supported on a motherboard (check the system specs or contact the OEM for more information)

 

as far as i know, the z230 will not support TPM 2.0 due to the platform not being a HP supported windows 10 platform

 

this means that since HP does not offically support windows 10, they will not be releasing a TPM 1.2 to 2.0 firmware updater

 

see page 40 of the z230 matainance and service manual for TPM

Long time ago I posted on the forum about my work that allowed me to run a 3TB drive on a xw6600 on its SATA bus, which is not supposed to be possible.  It took quite a bit of work, and use of a special Intel driver.  The same storage controller ESB2 chip is in your xw8400 as in the xw6600, and the method would work for larger than 3TB drives.  I concluded it was not worth the effort, and potential data risk, and chose to stick with 2TB drives if I really needed a large storage HDD in one of those ESB2-based workstations.

 

There is another way I'd go now, however.  In the xw6600 I'd drop in one of the HP USB3 cards into its lower PCIe x16 slots and run a USB3 cable up to a spare OD bay where I'd have the large HDD mounted, with a SATA-to-USB3 bridge attached, fed by an internal power cable.  It is pretty easy to find those, and a custom DC power feed would be easy to make rather than use a 120v AC to a DC power supply.  I'd need to check the power capacity of the bridge and the large HDD max power draw.  The 6600/8600 have PCIe Gen II for their 2 PCIe x16 slots; the 6400/8400 only have Gen I which still would run at 2.5Gb/s, in theory.  That is up to 175MB/s based on HP docs for USB3 running via a 5Gb/s bus (300MB/s) which is the bandwidth of a PCIe Gen II slot.

 

If you can live with PCIe Gen 1 speeds then that bridge would work fine, and big drives via USB3 work great.  I've gotten that USB3 card ("2x2") running fine under W7Pro64, W10Pro64, and now with the W10 Anniversary Edition.  Very fast, and I can get you the HP parts numbers if needed.

 

When HP changed the forum around the old posts largely got lost, but I have a PDF copy I could send you if you PM me here, if you really want to try the SATA bus method instead.  I'd advise against it.



Hello ,

Re: EliteDesk 800 G2-Tower SATA hot-plug possible?

I'm a little surprised you got a G2, they've been superseded for some time.

 

Our G3s have had hotswap esata disabled from day 1, much to my immense frustration and we found out that HP _deliberately_ disabled this in the bios.

 

When challenged, the response was "why would you want to use that?" and "USB3 is just as fast!" 

(The answers to that are that in real life USB3 is about 1/4 as fast as a SSD (or less) and a lot of external enclosures are still USB2/esata anyway) and instead of offering to sort it out,  we got sales pitches to buy workstations instead.

 

 

After getting stonewalled on updates for a while longer, I got a final answer: HP refused point blank to reenable esata in the elitedesk series and were clearly pushing us to buy workstations at twice the price. As a result they lost a few hundred desktop sales to another supplier.

 

Oh dear, how sad, too bad.

 

Memories are long and companies which don't want to listen to what customers want don't get repeat business.

 

 


Re: Sysprep not working on HP EliteDesk 800 G2 Mini - Windows 7

Well all I know, is that with Windows 7 installed in legacy mode (i.e. Not UEFI) what is how it was installed by defualt, running sysprep with the /generalize option caused the computer to present a black screen upon reboot.

 

There was no point in imaging the PC in this state, as you still got a black screen of death upon rebooting after running Sysprep, regardless wheather you captured the image or not.

 

No Symantic or Ghost software or partition is or has ever been installed on the EliteDesk 800G2 Mini. Image is capture via pxe booting.

 

 

i.e. Without capturing the imaging and without symantic ghost being involved at all in any way:

 

Legacy Mode: Sysprep with /generalize > Reboot > Black screen of death!

UEFI Mode: Sysprep with /generalize > Reboot > Windows reboots os normal.

for the xw8400 you can also install a LSI 9211 card (4 or 8 port) that is running "IT" firmware this card will add 4 or 8 more SATA 6GBPS ports and will allow a 3GB or larger drive as a boot or data drive

 

the "IT" firmware  is perfered in this case over the "IR raid firmware, the card can be setup with either and can be changed if desired

 

link to the intel RST driver, this is the absolute latest RST driver that still supports the ESB2 chipset is https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/20104/Intel-Rapid-Storage-Technology-RAID-for-Intel-5-Series-Chipset-Based-Desktop-Boards

 

SDH has posted that ver 10.0.0.1046, also works, but i have not used this release or used SSD's on a xw8400 however it appears that SDH has had sucess with this so i would consider trying it

 

the xw8400 onboard LSI1068E chip also has a 2GB limit, which is why i recomend turning off this controller in the bios and installing the LSI 9211-8i card

 

the card can be found on ebay for around 60.00

Advanced CPU settings in BIOS

Brand new HP Z8 G4, with dual "silver xeon 4114" CPUs.

These CPUs support all the requisit functions in order to run a hypervisor.

The Qubes-OS install complained that the hardware lacked VT-x, VT-d, EPT, and interrupt remapping (VT-d again??)

 

My guess is that the BIOS disables this for a workstation.  That would be a poor choice.

 

Is there a secret option to get to the really advanced settings page?

Is there a version of the BIOS which enables these?

 

I am on BIOS version "P60 v01.42 02/26/2018".

 

How do I contact someone in HP who could influence features in future BIOS updates?

Agree with DGroves about using the PCIe bus and a dedicated card that would let you add capabilities to these older workstations that their native hardware and drivers don not provide.

 

The process was difficult but it did succeed, and I'll see if I can find any links that still work.  Remember that HP took down our forum and had us start over some years ago.  My posts on that process were on the archives but have become almost impossible to find.

 

Another approach would be to add in one of the HP TI based USB3 cards I've posted about but I don't think the xw8400 has any PCIe Gen II slots (just like the xw6400 does not either).  Thus, to match the full speed of USB3 gen 1 you need a xw6600 or xw8600 and plug the PCIe card into one of its PCIe Gen II slots.  For the xw6600 the two PCIe slots that are PCIe Gen II are the two PCIe x16 video slots.

 

Hence, the xw8400 even with one of DGroves' recommended cards will probably run at 1/2 the speed you'd expect from it.

 

If you're thinking of upgrading then my advice now is to get a Z600 version 2 or Z800 version 2 rather than a xw6600 or a xw8600.  I've got my memory costs on those down to $1.00/GB using 4GB sticks.......  and 2 x X5672 quad cores cost me 70.00 total for the Z600 I just built up for our son.  He is very happy with W10 Spring Creators Update today running on 24GB ECC buffered server RAM.

Thanks alot for your Reply.

 

i also want to share an information with you . some how , i managed to install the latest Mac Osx on the my xw8600 workstation and without any interfernce from my side the my 5 TB sata drive is shown up with it is full capacity . which i guess because of a kext that the mac has .

 

i hope this can help.

Hi,

 

You should be able to enablre virtualization which is disabled by default. It will eiter be in the section security under System security or under tab advanced under system options.

 

You might need to set an administrator password to modify.

actually the drive speeds on a xw8400 using a pci-e x4  LSI 9211 card is is rather fast since each pcie 1.0 link on the xw8400 is 250 MB/s and there are four of them on the 9211 card which equals 1.0 GB/ max data speed. and this speed is sustained across all of the cards ports in most cases due to the cards onboard multiplexer chip

 

the same card when used in a pci-e 2.0 system would be twice the xfer speeds (2.0GB for a x4 card) so you end up with  stock SATA 3.0 speeds instead of the enhanced 6GBps when used on the xw8400's pci-e 1.0 bus

 

the end result is that this method on a xw8400 is much much  faster than a USB card,  but the downside is the cost is about twice as much as the USB card cost

 

if using windows 7 and the 9211 card as a boot device, all i had to do was either slipstream in the cards driver or use the f6 method of loading the driver during windows setup

 

i belive windows 10 has native support for the 9211's LSI chip

No,.......the Z Turbo Drive Quad Pro card will not work on a z820  and i suspect it's because the bios support for booting/accessing this card's 4 SSD modules is not present in the z820 bios

 

with that said, the card "might" work as a data device  (non booting) on the z820
