From my reading Server 2019 Essentials does not support "Anywhere Access" like 2012 did. We are looking to replace our current Windows 2012 Essentials therefore can I assume that Windows 2019 (not Essentials) supports "Anywhere Access"
or whatever it is now called to allow users to access their workstations in the office?

Is "anywhere access" available on server 2019?

Windows server 2016 user profile disk - administrator is denied access
I deployed several collections and started using user profile disks with Windows server 2016. I am running into an issue when it comes to mounting a user profile disk of one of our employees. The disk mounts just fine but access is denied to the administrator. Is there a best practice for user profile disk maintenance through the administrator? What can I do to grant access to the administrator for every user profile disk in any of my collections.
Thanks!!

Force each new specific user app launch to take a new host - RDS 2016
Hi,
I have a OCR software published as a RemoteApp distributed in several servers. The problem is that this software only allows one simultaneous connections per user, per server. In some scenarios I have to run multiples instances of this software simultaneously. I do not want to connect manually to the available host to launch the software. I really want to use it as an RemoteApp. Is there a policy or any other way to force, in a given collection, each new specific user app launch to take a new host. To give an example:
simple RDS architecture: 1 broker + 5 hosts (A to E) - RemoteApp : App1
User Paul launch App1 - broker takes server A
Paul launch 2nd instance of App1 - broker cannot take Server A, it takes server C.
Fred launch App1 - broker takes server A.
Paul 3rd instance of App1 - broker cannot take server A or C, it takes server B.
Fred 2nd App1 - server D
Paul closes 2nd instance
Paul launch 4th instance - broker may now take server C again as 2nd instance is now closed.
Sorry for the long example. Just to clear.
Regards,
Lucas

RdWeb Usage reports
I want to generate usage reports for RdWeb month on month to know how many users have logged in each day. I'm doing it manually by exporting the terminal gateway event logs as csv, trim, sort out date format, etc.. which is a tedious job as I have to do it for 14 environments. Looking for automation ideas to avoid manual work and set up a dashboard which will display as on date usage and option to download the data.
Can someone throw some light as how a dashboard can be created directly by reading the event logs

RDP Error - Contact Network Administrator
Hi Team,
I am facing the RDP session issues as you can find in my attachments.
In our environment we take RDP to a Windows Server 2012 R2 (Jump Server) - connected to our environment Via VPN Tunnel or with Public IP.
The Jump server is connected to another 3 Servers in different location (datacenter) via VPN Tunnel. So first we take remote to Jump server and from there we take remote to other 3 Servers in different location.
But right now we are having issues with RDP when we take from Jump Servers to Other 3 servers. I am getting the errors as per the attachment.
Steps Taken:
ON JUMP Server
- Check Telnet to other 3 servers for 3389 - Working
- Tried to take remote with Others Users - Didn't connect
- Updated some windows patches and Restarted the Server.
- Even created a new User on 3 servers and tried to take remote from JUMP - Not working.
- Tried to take remote to other local servers(Same Jump server environment) - Working.
- Verified VPN Tunnel Connectivity also from firewall level.
ON 3 Remote servers
- Server Still working.
- They can able to Login with same users from local .
Please help me to resolve this issue .
Thanks in Advance

Cannot connect to Remote Desktop from Android (error 0x1307), but I can from a Windows PC
Using Group Policy Editor, I have added Administrators into Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Local Policies\User Rights Assignment\Deny access to this computer from the network. This is to make sure that file sharing users cannot bypass the NTFS rights. However, I want members of the Administrators group to be able to login interactively using Remote Desktop. It works from Windows PCs, but not from Microsoft RD Client for Android, where I get the following error message:
- We couldn't connect to the remote PC because the admin has restricted the type of logon that you may use. Ask you admin or tech support for help. Error code: 0x1307
I can connect from Android only if I remove that policy.
Any ideas?

Blackscreen after logon
Hi
We have a problem with logon times on our RDP 2012R2 servers. It must be related to the roaming profile.
The problem:
The users logon on via RDP. The profile gets loaded, applying group policy settings and so on, and then the "black screen" starts. I can take up to 15 minutes before the users desktop is visible and ready to work.
While there are black screen I can press CTRL+ALT+DEL and go to the task manager. The only process that is working is explorer.exe.
If we create a new profile the users are logged in less than a minute, but the logon process and the time for the black screen increases over time. It happens for all our users on our 30 RDS servers.
Any suggestions?

Profile Disks Do Not Load for One of the Two RDS Session Hosts in an RDS Farm
ALL SERVERS ARE WINDOWS 2016 STANDARDs, the hosts and VMs alike.
I have two (2) Hyper-v Physical Hosts, HV1 & HV2 with plenty of horsepower and 128GB of RAM. All my participating servers in the FARM are VMs. HV1 hosts RDSH1 and HV2 hosts RDSH2, which, as the names indicate are Session Host Servers. HV2 also hosts RDSB, which is the Connection Broker, Gateway, License Server, and Profile Disk Server. The total number of users is around 55; very low number by any extent of imagination. After working flawlessly for a couple of months, recently, every user that ends up on RDSH1 gets the TEMP profile.
Each Session Host Server (RDSH1$ & RDSH2$) have the same Security rights to the Profile Disk Share. All other configurations are 100% the same. The only difference is the RDSH1 is on a different physical server, but RDSH2 is on the same physical server as the Profile Disk Server/Share. Both Physical Hosts are connected physically to the same Cisco Enterprise switch, and the servers and the switch all are only 1 year old. For now, I have taken RDSH1 out of the equation and all is fine, but I really want to add it back in for many compelling reasons, specifically for the sake of eliminating "single point of failure".
I have been in this field for 20 years, and still know very little, but, for the sake of all, please do not post "no-answer" answers if you do not know the answer, for the sake of accumulating points-- whatever they are worth. I rarely post anything, because a whole lot of people post nonsense as answers or ask questions that are already in the "Introduction".
But for those who really understand Remote Desktop Server Services (2012 and up), as well as the Virtualization and Physical Layer's aspect of networking, I greatly appreciate the help.
I have been researching this for weeks. My gut feeling tells me this is a design flaw by MS. But who is to say? And, I have very little faith in MS to come out and admitting it.

Windows 10 Remote Desktop Session Randomly Unexpectedly Exits and Terminates all apps - please help!
I remote desktop to my Window 10 Surface laptop via LAN (to use Outlook from the laptop) allowing me to create send/emails on the Surface laptop via remote desktop from my desktop PC. This has been working fine for 2+ years. Recently the Surface 10 has started ending the remote desktop session randomly perhaps 2 or 3 times per day. The worst parts is that it also terminates all running applications so when I can finally remote desktop back in my Outlook sessions have been lost. This is frustrating as I have lost a lot of drafted emails.
(I’ve setup Outlook to save every 1 minute but even so sometimes I lose the active email I'm working on in Outlook or recently received emails - I've lost lots of work because of this - it is driving me crazy.)
If I try to immediately log back in via RDP I sometimes get:
The number of connections to this computer is limited and all connections are in use right now. Try connecting later or contact your system administrator
I wait and try again and I can log back in but all my applications have been terminated. Perhaps the user session is being logged out and back in – I can’t tell.
Why on earth would all apps be terminated - it's as if the Surface computer user session is logged out and terminates all running apps for absolutely no reason.
There are no failed attempts in System Event Log Security, only forced log off. I noticed over 100 Audit Success security events at same time:
Credential Manager credentials were read.
Subject:
Security ID: DOMAIN\My Name
Account Name: My Name
Account Domain: DOMAIN
Logon ID: 0x1A293A3D8
Read Operation: Enumerate Credentials
This event occurs when a user performs a read operation on stored credentials in Credential Manager.This is then followed with:
An account was logged off.
Logon Type: 3
This event is generated when a logon session is destroyed.
It may be positively correlated with a logon event using the Logon ID value.
Logon IDs are only unique between reboots on the same computer.
Windows System Events at arounds this time shows a number of Errors:

Can't Publish RADC Work Resources to a session with redirected StartMenu
Hello,
I have a big RDS farm at a client, which mixes RDSH and RemoteApp session.
I'm able to publish those work resources into Session open into the RDSH collection of my farm. This way, my user (on their thinclient) are able to access the RemoteApp published by the collection, everything works fine, but I had to use the Windows 7 way, with the Powershell script and the feed.aspx file.
Everything fine this way, and our end-user are pleased to have direct access to the app from their Windows session.
But we also need to use redirected StartMenu via GPO, and when this is set, we cannot publish the Work Resources anymore.
I know that publishing those work resources create an entry in the start menu, but if I deactivate the publishing GPO, apply the redirected StartMenu GPo, I can't manually publish those Work Resources.
Any ideas of the why, and maybe the how to correct this ?
Regards

Two apps showing when launching RemoteApp program from remote location
At the company I work for we are running a Windows Server 2019 with Remote Desktop Services. I have created a RemoteApp Program that runs normally at our location, but when running this at our remote location it shows (2) apps on the taskbar - one for the remote desktop connection and the other for the remote app.
The same app running on the same o/s at my location only shows the remote application running.
The RDS server is at my location (corporate). We also have an older Server2008 Terminal server here and do not have it setup as a farm, just (2) separate servers.
I have also ran this just as an .RDP file and also as a RDWeb app and they both do the same thing.
Thank you

Remote Desktop Session Host server hangs/locks up (2008 R2 in vSphere 4.1)
I have a Server 2008 R2 Enterprise system acting as a RDSH server in a vSphere 4.1 Advanced cluster environment. This server experiences intermittent lock-ups during business hours. I am posting in the RDS (TS) forum because I believe the problem relates specifically to it being an RDSH server. The problem has occurred at inconsistent intervals, with about 30 instances over the last six months. It consistently occurs during use by end-users.
More info about the environment:
- 2008 R2 domain running all R2 DCs at 2008 domain and forest level
- HP ProLiant DL360 G7 hardware running ESXi 4.1 in vSphere 4.1 Advanced cluster
- HP StorageWorks P2000 G3 SAN utilizing 10K and 15K SAS 6.0gbps DP drives over Brocade FC switches
- Almost entirely HP printers installed on server, with a couple of others. Most printers are HP LaserJet 2420s using PCL5 and PCL6 drivers.
- Clients are mixed between XP, Vista, 7 and thin clients based on CE, HP ThinPro (Linux), and WES 2009. All desktops fully patched.
- The server runs Office 2007, Chrome (multi-user install), Firefox, IE9, a proprietary LoB application, AVG Antivirus 2012, ShadowProtect, Adobe Reader, Flash, Java, Sonicwall Terminal Services Agent, and uses Desktop Experience to provide a full Aero environment where possible.
- When the system locks up, all network communication and VMWare Tools heartbeats cease. On the vSphere console, we are able to issue Ctrl + Alt + Del at the login prompt, which causes the "Press Ctrl + Alt Del" message to go away, as if it is about to prompt for username and password, but it never does.
- Device redirection is disabled
- The server has four vCPUs and 12GB of RAM assigned to it; it has had between 20 and 50 concurrent users at the time of the crashes
Looking at Event Viewer, there is no one, consistent set of events in any logs that can be correlated to the crash. However, there are several events that can be tied to different crashes.
Set1:
WinLogon 6005
The winlogon notification subscriber <Sens> is taking long time to handle the notification event (Disconnect).
Sevice Control Manager ID 7011
A timeout (120000 milliseconds) was reached while waiting for a transaction response from the SessionEnv service.
DCOM 10010
The server {AAC1009F-AB33-48F9-9A21-7F5B88426A2E} did not register with DCOM within the required timeout
Set2:
Event ID

A device or program has requested attention. Device or application: C:\Windows\System32\spoolsv.exe. Message title: \\CSR|[HOSTNAME of PRINT SERVER & DC]\{94AFF4B1-B79E-4BA3-B27C-179216BCC082},LocalsplOnly Document Properties
2:00:11
Event ID 7036, Service Control Manager
The Windows Error Reporting Service service entered the running state.
Numerous Event ID 602.
_______________________________________________________________
After much research, we've been led to believe the issue might be caused by problems with HP printers. This HP thread is relevant:
However, we were able to resolve BiDi component issues. Currently, we still get 602, and I noticed there were some driver problems on some of the printers (wrong driver). I also read an anecdotal report that reverting to PCL 5 can help:
http://forums.citrix.com/thread.jspa?threadID=261933&start=15&tstart=0
I have not yet done this driver change. I did apply the hotfix found in KB2457866
VMware Tools, Windows, and the HP hardware have been updated recently. All software except the custom LoB app is in use at our other clients on 2008 R2 servers in vSphere, and we do not have this problem anywhere else. This environment has nine other 2008 R2 Standard and Enterprise systems running on the vSphere cluster without issues. The printers are served from a domain controller that does not experience issues.
While I intend to apply some printer driver updates and revert to PCL5, I am posting this in the hopes someone can give us another direction. I am not 100% convinced this is caused by printer issues, since I cannot always correlate printing to the crashes. I have reviewed several different Technet, Citrix, and HP forum threads with some similarities in symptoms, but none are quite the same. At this point the print drivers and custom LoB software are the primary suspects, but I'm open to more lines of troubleshooting.
Edit: another symptom to note is that when the hang does occur, vSphere shows CPU, RAM, and disk utilization skyrocket, then drop to nothing as the system locks up and Tools stops receiving information. The host seems to have plenty of resources, and I'm not inclined to believe the server is under-spec'ed. The same user applications ran in 2003 terminal services on a single-vCPU, 4GB system with weaker disks.

Windows 10 1903 remote-app repeating keystrokes

RDGateway in Parent/Child domain
Hello, I have a parent/child domain configuration. All of my RD Infrastructure machines (Gateway/Web cluster, Broker, Licenscing) live in the Parent.domain. All of my Sessionhost servers, and users/groups are in the Child.parent.domain.
When I create my rule in the gateway, users in the child.parent.domain can only connect to their server if "Allow users to connect to any network resource" is selected in the RAP.
If I just leave the user group (located in the child.parent.dom) the connection goes all the way through to "Loading Virtual Machine" and acts as if it will connect, then the last second fails out with the standard "User does not have access" error
I think the solution is similar to the issue in this post: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/b9111b86-6679-46df-92c6-d03b7dd0a186/rd-gateway-cap-and-child-domain?forum=winserverTS but since my setup is slightly reversed I can't seem to get the group organization across the child and parent domains correct.
Does anyone have any thoughts what I might be missing?
Thanks!
