Setting Preferred RDS server for user, security group or OU

October 22, 2014, 9:36 pm

Hi Guys,

Hope someone knows the answer to this.

The plan is to build 3 win2k12 RDS session based servers, with a broker over 2 sites.

We have users in Head office and Remote office.

What we would like is when users connect to the broker that it will connect them to their local server first and then remote server if the local server is unavailable. (Without using two DNS address.) So that is if they are at the remote site they connect to the remote server, if they are in the head office they would connect to one of there preferred server. I am not to fussed what method is used to determine preferred server. EG: Security group, OU, or user configuration.

Also we will have users connecting from external to internal, using a DNS name of the head office. EG: RDS.domain.com.au.

What we would like is the preferred server to working from external to internal so they are connected to there local server, even though they are connecting from external Public IP.

Thanks for your help.

Can SSL be disabled on 2012 RD Gateway to require TLS?

I'm looking at what we need to do to prevent SSLv3 from being used to connect to our RD Gateway. Can SSL be disabled so that all systems have to use TLS?

I'm thinking of a situation where for some reason a client does not use the normal default.

Terminal Server sessions in farm end randomly.

Hello,

We have just built 8 new Virtual Machines which we have added into our existing farm environment.

The Machines are running Server 2008 R2 and have one NIC, In the existing layout we have 6 Servers that have two NIC's one on a 10 range and one on a 172 range, these work fine, however the new servers disconnect from the Farm after a random amount of time disconnecting any users who are connected, the session remains open but the user has to reconnect.

The new Machines only run on the 172 range and the only slight indication of a problem I can see is that in the event logs we are being told that the machine has successfully left the farm and then 2 seconds later it has rejoined it.

We dont have any time restrictions set on the machines to disconnect  a user after a certain period but the existing machines with the 2 NICs say the same thing about leaving and joining the farm but only on the 172 range.

If anyone has any thoughts on what it might be that would be great.

Thanks

Remote Desktop Between Domains

Hi everyone,

I'm wondering if somebody could offer any advice or troubleshooting tips.

I am trying to Remote Desktop from one Domain to another Domain, in different Forests on different VLANs. One environment is a 'Live' environment and the other is a 'Production' environment. These environments have their own Domain Controllers.

I have setup a Remote Desktop Server (Windows Server 2012 R2) which has the RD Web Access, RD Gateway, RD Licensing and RD Connection Broker roles. There are no RemoteApp Programs, just Remote Desktop. This Server is in the 'Production' environment.

Basically, when going to the web-address (https://SERVERNAME/RdWeb), I can click the Remote Desktop icon and obtain access to the Remote Desktop Server in the 'Production' environment, from which I can then use RDP to access any Servers in this Domain. That's all good. However, I have no need for the web-access and wish simply to Remote Desktop from a 'Live' PC to a 'Production' Server. So I do an 'mstsc' and change the "Advanced" tab settings to include the Server Name of the Remote Desktop Server. Back on the "General" tab, I enter the Server name in the 'Production' environment. So when I click "Connect", I get this:
1. SERVERNAME FQDN (RD Gateway Server)
2. SERVERNAME FQDN (Remote Computer)

I enter the credentials of my account in the 'Production' environment and this always fails. If I enter my 'Live' credentials this works, but informs me that the password is wrong. I then enter the 'Production' credentials and I successfully get onto the desired Server.

Other Servers simply fail, saying that either:
1. Your user account is not listed in the RD Gateway's permission list
2. You might have specified the remote computer in NetBIOS format, but the RD Gateway is expecting an FQDN or IP Address format.

Does anyone have experience with Remote Desktop Services who can help me? I would be greatly appreciative for any advice.

Thank you

Username or Password is incorrect when logging into 2008r2 standard RDS sessions host

Hello there TechNet forums,

I recently finished setting up a Windows 2008r2 RDS sessions host.  The licensing server is a Windows Server 2012 server with 5 per user 2012 RDS licenses.  The Windows 2008r2 server is pointed to the 2012 server correctly.  

When I do a remote desktop connection from a third computer,  I am not able to log in.  I receive "Username or Password is incorrect."  The accounts are in the remote desktop users group (both in the domain and on the local group for the server).  I have tried to use domain\username, \domain\username, \domain\username\. None work. I am able to log onto the console with the same username and password I am trying for a remote session.

I am unsure where to look moving forward.  Any suggestions are appreciated and welcome.  If you need more information, please let me know, I will provide what I can.

RDS Connection Broker does not distribute the load among Session Hosts

Hello Folks,

I have a three server RDS setup in which the roles are distributed as follows:

S1 -> RD Web Acc / RD Gateway / RD Connection Broker /Session Host

S2 -> Licensing Server / Session Host

S3 -> Session Host (and most powerful server)

I would like the load to be distributed among the session hosts, depending on the resources of the servers. But in my setup, all the apps launched by the users are ran on S1 for some reason.

Also, when I disable S1 from the list of session hosts that accept new connections, and start a new app from the conseole, I get an error saying: " An authentication error has occurred (Code0x607)"

Any tips? 

Edit: I had a workaround for Code 0x607 but I still get an error saying that "Couldn't open this program or file. Either there was a problem with <appname> or the file you're trying to open couldn't be accessed"

Client's default printer does not become default printer for the RDS session

This issue has been posted numerous times in various threads, but I still have not seen anything that is the definitive answer on this issue.

Environment: Windows Server 2008R2 with Windows 7 clients.

I have 50 or so individual locations, each with a single multi-function printer connected to the client PC via USB.  The printer redirection works fine.  Although I have had to install the drivers on the terminal server because HP says the printers are not EasyPrint compatible, I am able to print successfully to these printers.

The only outstanding issue is the flagging of these printers as the default.

I have applied all of the appropriate GPO settings as noted in the other threads and still the default is never set properly.

Is this a bug?  This is simply not acceptable behavior.

By using following things we can try to filter the specific Application. But I want to know, how to call Viewer side share property to fire the OnApplicationUpdate Event on server side.

Farm Name for Remote Desktop Services 2012 R2

October 26, 2014, 9:47 pm

Hi All,

I have a working implementation of a 2012 R2 remote desktop services using session hosts. There are four servers in this deployment.

Currently the only way they can access the load balanced session hosts is via the web access server to download the customized RDP file via or work resources.

What I want to do is let users log into the full desktop of the session host without going through the gateway/web access. This was done in 2008 and 2008 R2 with a GPO to configure the farm name and setting up DNS RR.

I realize now that DNS RR is not supported and I doubt the farm name GPO will have any effect in 2012 R2. 

The reason I want to do this is because we have a company policy that people should only be able to access the network remotely if they have been in the company for three months however users are reliant on using the servers to access specific applications. 

Your answers are appreciated!

"Use RD Gateway credentials for remote computers" option causing RDP to freeze

Hello,


I have a setup with one GW/SH/WA/CB  on server 1 , LS/SH on server2 and SH on server3

I have setup most things but one remains a mystery: When I enable "Use RD Gateway credentials for remote computers" option, I cannot launch the apps from the portal, after checking the certs, I get an error saying

"Couldn't open this program or file. Either there was a problem with <program name> or the file you're trying to open couldn't be established. "

When I disable that option (Use RD GW cred), this error goes away but I need to enter a password each time I launch an application, which is not ideal.

Right now, I either need to find a way to get rid of password prompt or find a way around the error I mentioned above when enabling the option.

Thanks!

Strange values for Idle and Disconnect Time in Server Manager - Session Collection

Hello,

I see strange behaviour for Idle Time and Disconnect Time in Server Manager Session Collections.
When a user connects to a Session Collection then there is no value for Disconnect Time and Idle Time. Thats ok.

But when users do nothing Idle Time doesn't starts to count.

When users disconnects it shows the following:

But when a user reconnects then Ide Time continues to count, even if the user starts to work:

I have three Session Collections and in every Collection it's the same strange behaviour when users reconnects.
Two of these Session Collections consits of two servers each and one Session Collection is a single server only.
One Server for Connection Broker, RDGW and RD Web Access. All servers are Windows Server 2012 R2 VMs in Hyper-V.

Any idea?
Regards,
Andreas

possible bug : Remote Desktop Rejects non-remoteFX clients.

OK Scenario:

Host : a Windows 7 Enterprise with SP1, configured as a VM on a 2012R2 Virtualization host with RemoteFX d3d adapter component AND RDP8.0 installed and configured per this article:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2592687

Client : a Windows 7 Professional SP1 with an updated client (Shell Version 6.3.9600, Control Version 6.3.9600, Remote Desktop Protocol 8.1 Suppoerted)

problems:

1.the windows 7 host used to add log entries into the RemoteDesktop-TSCore log Admin section upon clients connecting, per this article:

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff817575

but it is not doing it anymore after upgrading the RDP to 8. no signs of Event ID 2 in the Microsoft-Windows-RemoteDesktopServices-RdpCoreTS/Admin

2.the client is unable to RDP into the host if the "speed" of the client (the "experience" tab) is set to anything but the "LAN 10MB". it used to work with "Automatically Detect" settings before, unless I manually changed it per the above technet article to activate RemoteFX (read the square at the middle-bottom of the article).now, even if I switch it back to automatic speed detection or some other speed, it goes just up to the "Estimating speed and quality" connection phase and then suddenly quits. the only way to get to the remote desktop is to set it back to "LAN 10" manually.

the Remote host just has some "warnings" regarding the previous (non-LAN) attempts, saying that the client is not capable of RemoteFX so RDP Graphic module will be used; no "errors". but as I told you, the client simply quits after the speed estimation.

Hi guys.

I've a customer who wants to enable Terminal Services  (or RDP) for 5 users and right now he can only enable this for two since he is using the Windows Server Essentials.  My question is, does he need to migrate to the Standard Version to enable this for 5 users?   Does he need to purchase then the windows Server and 5 licenses for RDP?

Thanks for your help!

How to configure RDS to let a specific RDS group access a specific RDS server (no VDI or farm) ?

October 28, 2014, 2:22 am

Hi there,

We have one domain with 40 sites. On each site is a RODC, wich also has RDS. (RDS the old way, no broker installed)

The RODC's are 2008R2 and 2012R2 servers.

Everything works fine, however everyone can access all servers as a straight forward RDS user (no VDI).

Everyone is in the build in group for remote user.

I'd like to have people that work on ServerA  only are able to contact serverA  for RDS.

B on B, C on C and so on ...  This for all 40 sites.

I made a policy for each site allowing RDS_A to access server A and so on. Is this the right way to do it, or can I do it having less GPO's ?  I need 40 right now!!!  Linking the policy to the right OU, containing the specific server.

Something is still wrong, because other people still can access serverA.

I get into it, but maybe I'm doing it wrong, so please give me some advice :)

Thanks,

Ben.

Hi,

I am getting below instruction from my provider smartcard vendor to enabling smart card support with RDS after I configured my RDS and SSO.

I am confuse with how to enabling token authentication in the web tier. and how to configure client certification mapping authentication because I don't see the token inside authentication providers. Hope someone who have configured before could give some clues or steps. 

-> Enable Smart Card Support. Enabling token Authentication is done only in the web tier. the PIN has to be entered twice, first at RDWeb site, second at the RDP session layer.On your RD web IIS server , you chooseClient certificate mapping authentication.

Thanks in advance.

Windows 2012 R2 printers showing twice (and unable to set default printer)

July 24, 2014, 11:53 am

Hello,

I have a problem that will not just go away. I have two Windows 2012 R2 servers: one with RDS installed for 30 users with an appointment application and one "back-end" server were print queues and database are running.

So basically, users can connect to network printers by clicking on a link that points to the "back-end" server. In Windows 2008 R2, this is so simple but in Windows 2012 R2, I am experiencing tons of issues (with both V3 and V4 drivers). By the way, printer redirection in RDS (remote desktop) is disabled and forbidden by GPOs. I am listing the issues here to see if someone experienced them before:

1. After a disconnection between the printer and the RDP session (the servers are in a remote site as the printers are local and printing through a site-to-site VPN tunnel as they are all IP printers). Example: a power failure will set a particular printer at "offline", which is normal and eventually, it comes back online. But then, the problem starts: the printer "loses" it "default printer" status and none of the printers for a specific user are showing as default printer in his printer list. If I try to set again the desired printer to default, it is already "set as default" but the green "tick" is not showing on the printer icon and printing fails.

2.  When the above happens, I usually try to delete the printer from the user session and reconnect to it. But then, it is even worse: the specified printer is now showing "twice" in the list of "device and printers" for a specific user while working OK for another (when you right click the printer, you see two instances of it). This is interfering with our main application and a specific user session is non functional. A printer will also show in the "unspecified section"

3. Even a bigger problem: if I delete a particular printer from a specific RDS user session, the same printer disappears for all other users using that printer. So each time I try to fix a printer in one user session, I can expect a myriad of issues with the other users.

4. The only way I found to fix this issue (so far) is by rebooting both servers at the end of the day and after power recycling the printer exhibiting the issue. The only other thing I could try (never tried it yet) would be to delete the affected user profile and recreate it on the RDS server. But I do not know yet the consequences of that action (will everyone else lose the defective printer mapping as well???).

5. This issue doesn't seem to be driver or brand related as I had the issue with many printers of different brand. Both servers are virtual under Hyper-v (physical hosts are also Windows 2012 R2) and are running the latest integration version.

If anyone has experienced this issue, please let me know what you have to have done to resolve it. My next step is escalating this to Microsoft.

Thanks.

Benji.
