RD Connection Broker Farm help!

$
0
0

Hi All,

Let me first explain what I have and what I'm trying to achieve.

I have 1x Microsoft RD Connection Broker Server

I also have 2x Microsoft Remote Desktop Session Host servers (one primary and one secondary)

I then have a Kemp hardware loadbalancer which contains the IPs of the Session Host servers

I have configured an RD Connection broker farm that includes the two aforementioned Session Host servers.

The plan is for clients to connect into the Session Host servers via the Kemp loadbalancer's virtual IP.  As the Session Host servers are part of the RD Connection Broker Farm on the RD Connection broker sever I want there to be continuity for user sessions in the event of a primary Session Host server failure.  The problem is that this is not happening! 

To test I am logging into a user session on Session Host Server1 (I get server1 as I have weighted the real server IP on the Kemp device so it will always connect here unless it is down).  I then simulate a Server1 failure (pulling power).  The session crashes and I start a new session.  The Kemp device does its job and directs me to Server2.  All good so far.  However once I put in the users login details I get the 'Server cannot be found' error.  So the connection broker is kicking in as its trying to connect me to the existing session but on the wrong server! It is trying to reconnect me to the failed server.  Does anyone have any ideas why this would be happening?

Any help appreciated!


Connect Without Terminal PC

$

Instead of having multiple PCs I would like to have just one and then everybody is connecting to that PC simultaneously. Some might work on Office Apps, somebody might us Adobe products, etc. I believe this is possible with Windows Server. However, it is my understanding that everybody still needs to have a simple terminal PC. Is there a solution where everybody just has a keyboard, mouse and monitor connected to the Windows Server, i.e. no terminal PC?

Rename Cluster Shared Volume folder

I renamed my cluster shared volume from Volume1 to the same name as my SAN LUN to keep things straight. The name has a dash in it and looks something like this: LUN 3 - HyperV Virtual Desktop Storage 2     I am trying to deploy a new desktop collection with the virtual desktop location set to C:\ClusterStorage\LUN 3 - HyperV Virtual Desktop Storage 2\Virtual Desktops but every time I enter that path in the desktop creation wizard Server Manager locks up.

Anyone seen this?

Get-RDRemoteApp fails to find deployment

I have created a rds deployment as follows

3x Server 2012r2
RDSH01 (RemoteApp Host)
RDSGW01 (is actually running web access)
RDSBR01 (Broker)

I created it using the add role wizard and everything is currently working as expected.

When I run get-RDremoteapp I get the following message

Get-RDRemoteApp : A Remote Desktop Services deployment does not exist on RDSH01.domain.com. This operation can be
performed after creating a deployment. For information about creating a deployment, run "Get-Help
New-RDVirtualDesktopDeployment" or "Get-Help New-RDSessionDeployment".+ CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [Write-Error], WriteErrorException+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.WriteErrorException,Get-RDRemoteApp

I have tried running this remotely and directly on each of the 3 machines above, however I get the same error message.

Any suggestions?


Unnamed Disconnected Sessions - 2012R2 Sesion Hosts

$

We're deploying an application via RemoteApp to our employees. Everything Works well, untill some users start having issues connecting and get the error message saying:

"The task you are trying to do can't be completed because remote desktop services is currently busy. Please try again in a few minutes. Other users should still be able to log on"

Clients connecting are Windows 7 and Windows 8 computers and both have had the same issue at some point.

The server task manager shows disconnected sessions without displaying the name, and allways with the same processes there (4):

- Windows Logon User Interface Host

- Desktop Window manager

- Client Server Runtime process

- Windows Logon Application

using the query sesión command I see disconnected sessions with no name as well and and if I try to reset sessions that don´t show name and are disocnnected they never do and looks like the command never ends. Allways running cmd with higher privileges.

the only solution happens to be rebooting the sesión host server... I would like to go to production having resolved this issue.

Any ideas?

does anybody know how to resolve this?

RDS server giving odd audit failure when user log in.

About 8 of them when anyone logs into server 2012 r2 RDS server.  This was a server 2k3 domain and there were definitely some hickups with terminal server licensing not be delegated Access to TS licensing user properties in AD and issue with 2003 default DC policies preventing windows internal database from working correctly.  This one I'm clueless about.  There is nothing that isn't working, there are no application or system errors occurring along with the audit failure.  Hoping someone super smart would know..

Thanks,

Display issues when multi monitor users connect to 2008 R2 RDS server (funky start menu, missing system tray icons and desktop icons)

$

Hi All,

I'm going crazy trying to find a solution to this problem.  At our company, I have several users connecting to a farm of four 2008 R2 RDS servers.  Everything works well with the users that connect remotely to their desktop with a single monitor setup.  The users that have a dual monitor setup and are using them for the remote connection however, have to log in, disconnect and log in again to see their desktop's start menu, icons, etc...  When the multi monitor user connects the first time the only thing that shows is the task bar.  The start menu only shows the user's account picture on the top right.  The rest of the start menu is gone.  Also, the system tray icons and the desktop icons are also missing.  We have them connecting to the servers via thin clients or workstation with various monitors and operating systems and the results are the same. The RDS servers are HP DL360 G6 with the latest drivers and patches.  Has anybody experienced this?  I've search everywhere and the closest I've seen to my problem is: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/windowsserver2008r2rds/thread/2fdd2bc6-1274-4b4a-b0f6-07ab9861b589 and it seems that they didn't find a solution either.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

Terminal Server 2008R2: Blackscreen conencting with Multiple Monitors (Urgent !)

$

Hello,

we have a TerminalServer Farm of five Servers.

Connecting to the Servers with only one Monitor works fine. Connecting to the Servers with multimonitor support (2 Monitors or three Monitors) shows only a black screen on all monitor with the taskbar.

But its curios, I have this problem only on 2 of the 5 servers. All 5 Servers are absolutely identically (fresh) installed with a software dist. Really NO differences.

We've tried this with different clients. Win7, WinXP, Win7 Embedded (HP Thin Client T510), WinXP Embedded (HP TC 510). Same problem on all clients.

Any Ideas ?

Thanks a lot.

Regards...

RDS App That Will Not Open

$

RDS on server 2012. We have a few users that keeping having a problem when they open a published program. The issue is, when the users open/connects to the remote app it says it connects but will never open. I have to login to the RDS server and logoff the users, then the remote app will open. There is nothing in the event viewer about this issue. I thought it might be due to the way the users were closing the remote app so i instructed them to close the remote app with the "X" in the top right of the remote app. Even when they close the remote app the correct way, they still have this issue. The users are on windows PC's (7 i believe). Any ideas on why this is happening? Or where are some RDS logs that i can look at?

Server 2012 R2 Remote Desktop Gateway. Most Simple and Secure Design For Small Environment?

$
0
0

We would like users to be able to connect remotely over the Internet from their personal devices to their primary Windows 7 workstation (a physical box on their desk) by using the Microsoft RDP Client For Windows, Mac, iOS and Android.  There is no plan to use RDWeb or Remote Apps, or VDI.  Just plain remote access to their desktop PC without VPN plus a third party 2nd factor authentication product that can text them back a code to enter with their AD credentials (AuthAnvil or Duosecurity)

We do not have TMG or ISA.

We would like to get these services all running in a single server and be as simple as possible while still being very secure.

The recommendations I see seem to suggest putting the RDG in a DMZ with either a domain controller on a new domain with a one-way trust to your internal domain or else a read-only domain controller on your domain and then RD Session Host and License server located on different servers on your internal LAN.

http://blogs.msdn.com/b/rds/archive/2009/07/31/rd-gateway-deployment-in-a-perimeter-network-firewall-rules.aspx

That sounds like a lot of separate servers and cost for not a lot of users in our environment.

Do we even need a separate session host server if there are no RDP sessions being hosted directly on the servers because  the users are only being redirected to connect to their workstations and will never be using terminal sessions on the server?

Can the RODC or the Domain controller on new domain with the one-way trust be the same server as the Remote Desktop Gateway server and not separate servers?

What is the most minimalist way to set this up with good security when opening all the ports needed to authenticate with internal DC is not secure enough?


Server 2008 R2 Remote App Web Access suddenly apps are gone

I was using Remote apps just fine through RD Web Access and suddenly when i log on to the RD Web Access site there are no longer any apps listed.
When i go into the Remote apps management, all the apps are still there and available for Web Access.
If i use a remote app rdp file, it still works as well. So basically everything is still working except the population of the remote app we part.

this is a standalone TS server, gateway, session host, remote app server all in one install

When i go in the configuration site, i make sure its the correct fqdn or shortname tried both of this standalone server and it gives me the error, place the server in TS Computers.

The server is in that group and i made sure all the correct Com+ and wmi permissons are set as per the technet article...still gives me event id 8 and still apps arent showing.

im out of ideas

Keep "Unknown Monitor on RDPUDD Chained DD" active after session end?

$

Hi. From what I've been able to gather, my CPU's (i7 3770) integrated graphics won't kick in without a monitor connected. I am not able to physically connect a monitor to this machine, nor a dummy plug, and so I am looking for a way to keep my integrated graphics on even outside of RDP. Currently the application I am running on my machine, a 3D accelerated one, will stop functioning correctly when I quit my RDP session and the display reverts back to "Display device on: VGA". 

So the question is if I can keep the "Unknown Monitor on RPUDD Chained DD" active even when RDP is closed.

Thank you.


Changing Remote Desktop Web Access 2012 RemoteApp Source

$

I was wondering how I would set a Remote Desktop Web Access source for RemoteApps in windows 2012.

on windows 2008 R2 there was a tab on the web access web page (the configure tab), that would allow you to type in either a connection brokers address, or multiple RD session hosts addresses as RemoteApp sources. I don't see that in windows 2012 anymore and was wondering how a 2012 RD Web Access finds the RemoteApps.

there must be a way of setting this parameter. lets say I have a new connection broker that I want my web access to point to from this moment on instead of the one it is currently set to. there should be a command/UI somewhere. I can't even tell how my web access found and figured my current connection broker to point to at the first placed.

I've read here and there that there is a design change in 2012 that removes a Session host as an option for web access source, and that Remote Desktop Web Access 2012 is capable of only querying a connection broker for remote apps. I couldn't find an official documentation stating this , and even if it is the case, it still does not make sense that you , as the admin, not be able to change the target connection broker on a web access server.

Windows 2008 Server and Windows 8 clients

$

Hey Guys,

I have had this problem for sometime now and really need a solution. I have Windows 2008 Enterprise Server running about 200+ terminal services clients. All Windows XP clients are fine, Windows 7 clients have issues when they get an updated version of remote desktop client(to solve the issue we simply rollback the update), Windows 8 clients cannot connect and use out remote app. The issue stems from the newer version of remote desktop client (on windows 7 and embedded in windows 8) cannot connect to our terminal server and generates an error and immediately disconnects. The error says "

Your computer can't connect to the remote computer because an error occurred on the remote computer that you want to connect to

So my questions are, how can i update my Windows 2008 Terminal server version to support these clients, or do u have migrate to Windows 2012? Or is there a solution to my current problem which will allow my client to connect and use the remoteapps?

No Printers are Mapped, no eventlog, why?

I try to map some printers to my 2008R2 RDSH.

Printer mapping is not disabled on the listener, no eventlogs regarding 'not mapping' my printer!

Server is fully patched.

Even a testprinter with a 'generic text only' driver is not mapped.

Anybody has an idea?

2012R2 Remote Apps Permissions Caching Issue

$
0
0

My Setup:

LAN and DMZ (perimeter network). LAN consists of RW Domain controller, RDSH and RD Connection Broker. DMZ contains RODC, RD Web Apps, and RD Gateway. I'm hosting ~25 remote apps (from RD Web Apps) with different permissions on each. I also have 2 2008 servers hosting remote apps that are also listed from the remote apps page (modified IIS).

The Issue:

If I create an app and allow everyone to log in, it works great. Say I now want to restrict access to that application for certain users. I go in an change the permissions on the app so it doesn't include the user I just logged in as. If I load the page again after permissions have been modified, I'm still able to see the app. If I log in with a user that has never logged in before, the correct permissions apply. If I log with the original user on another PC, all apps still show up. It seems that whatever permissions are set when a user first logs on, are staying applied forever. Its been 3 days and still no permissions update. I've rebooted/updated everything with no luck. Also all apps from the 2008 servers show up regardless of permissions as well.

What am I missing?

Unable to add RDS session Host to Session Collection

$

Hi There,

This may be something very simple however its the first time we have set this up from scratch so i do apologise should this be easy!

  • Server 2012 Connection Broker and Web Access Roles
  • Server 2012 R2 Session Hosts

Attempting to add a session host server to a session collection that i have created however when this attempted we recieve the following error - "The property SessionDirectoryLocation is configured vy usinf Group Policy settings. Use the Group Policy Management Console to configure this property."

Ive taken a look at the GPO which we configured to use a connection broker and it appears to be configured correctly

"Configure RD Connection Broker Farm Name" and "Configure RD Connection Broker Server name" are what i think is causing this problem.

The farm name is set as remote.domain.local which matches my DNS entry for the farm as advised and the server name is server.domain.local for the server with the connection broker role installed is this correct?.

All other GPO under the RD Connection Broker is configured to be enabled.

My DR session collection that doesnt use a connection broker works fine and can be added as expected.

Any thoughts?
