Multiple RDS Device CALs Issued through Windows 2003 RDS Hosts

Environment

Windows 2012 R2 RDS license server issuing device CALs

5 Citrix farms (PS4, PS4.5, XA5, XA6, and XA6.5) 

Symptoms

- RDS device CALs issued through the PS4/Windows 2003 R2 and PS4.5/Windows 2003 R2 servers show the Citrix server name in the Window 2012 R2 RD license manager console instead of the workstation name (See below).

- The PS4/Windows 2003 R2 and PS4.5/Windows 2003 R2 servers are issuing a large number of device CALs to workstations.  For example, we have two PS4/Windows 2003 R2 servers that publish a single application.  There are 20 users of the applications with dedicated workstations that should all have a device CAL, but everyday I see device CALs being issued from these servers (See below).  

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

Printer Redirection Refresh Interval?

October 28, 2014, 12:56 pm

I have a 2012 R2 RDS server farm setup to publish several RemoteApps.  If a user is connected, then adds a printer (from AD, generally) to their workstation, these new printers do not automatically become available in the RemoteApp session.  Simple closing the RemoteApp and relaunching it does not solve the problem as this is akin to disconnecting and reconnecting (not logging off).  If this were a Remote Desktop (full desktop), then solution would be to log off and sign back in.  There is no way for the end user to do this.

How often does the RDS check for new printers (if at all)?  Or is there a workaround/fix for this sort of issue?

RDP Connection only with computer name and not IP Address

There were few similar threads but couldnt fit to our requirement. We are allowing users to perform rdp sessions to few terminal servers. They are currently doing rdp with IP address of the terminal server instead of computer name. Is there a way to restrict users to use only computer name instead of IP Address? Or something like allowing rdp to only one computername.

Thank you in Advance..

RDP Connection Bar resize on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2

Hi.

Some time ago i accidentally discovered that it is possible to resize Connection Bar when doing RDP connection using mouse and "click-and-drag technology". I've mostly use Windows 7 -> Windows 2008 R2 conecctions if this matter. This feature is useful to shrink Connection Bars when doing multiple nested RDP coneections.

So here is the question: some Connection Bars are not resizable. Is it because of RDP nesting level, or OS settings or something else?

I've tried to search Internet, but seems i am the only person to resize Connection Bars in nested RDP sessions :)

Thanks.

VPSACE NCOMPUTING - Thin Client users

We are running windows server 2008 R2 - we have a virtual environment using Ncomputing devices - VSPACE hypervisor. We have an HP Photo smart printer 8050 which has card reader ports. The Photo smart printer is connected via usb  to the thin client device. Server recognizes the device but we get an error across all virtual units hard disk missing, we get this four times which is the number of card reader ports on the HP printer.

Under device manager we see :

Portable Devices
     WPD File System Volume Driver    with a yellow exclamation point

     This device cannot start Code 10

     Location = UMBus Enumerator   - Portable Devices WPD FileSystem Volume Driver

Looks like server 2008 is not seeing the card-readers properly hence the WPD error.

I am having trouble finding anything on HP's site as far as a specific driver for server 2008

any help is appreciated, it is driving everyone crazy, one more note, users not on the Thin Client environment are not receiving the messages.  (standard pc connected users)

Session 0 desktop closes rdp session

hi everyone, 

I have a problem while using the session 0 desktop on a cloud server based on windows 2008 server via RDP.

The rdp session to the server is canceled while being in the session 0 desktop and do not work actively at the system. I have some services runing, which display many cmds and sometimes i need to watch them while they are working. But after about 1 minute without using the mouse in the rdp session,  the rdp session is closed. But when I am at the session 1 layer, this do not happen. I need the conf.ini or something similar where i can administrate the "no working" time before the system is kicking me from the server.

Thanks

New RDS 2012 build (coming from a Citrix guy)

October 29, 2014, 12:51 pm

So I am a Citrix guy here and looking for some suggestions for a build using RDS 2012R2. I have inherited a mess who currently has 180+ connecting to 3 different terminal servers (also the domain controllers, haha!) We are looking to build something new from the ground up with the ability to grow to 300 or so users. We have 2 beefy servers and a SAN in a VMware environment so hardware wise we are okay just trying to think how to build RDS to accomplish a few things. I am thinking of going with 2 x Windows 2012R2 DC’s (likely add a 3rd as we start to get around the 225 user range) 2 x File Servers with DFS (I want to store profile stuff here) & 3-4x RDS hosts to start with (the only application they run is DOS based and super lightweight) I would then run the RDS gateway likely 2 of them as well (for failover/load balancing)

Question #1, should that be enough? I know the terminal servers sound a little taxed but I think with what they run application wise, should be fine.

Question #2 with the RDS gateway can I load balance users across the various servers if using roaming profiles/folder redirection? (I am used to using Citrix Profile Manager) I want the users to log off and all profile information go back to my DFS store.

Questions #3 we are also looking to create some type of internet browsing sandbox where users can browse as they please. I have seen this done with Citrix and persistent desktops that were destroyed when the user logs off. That will be expensive for us so we are looking to do something slightly different. Can I publish/stream an internet browser within a user’s RDS desktop session and have it somewhat contained? I know anything the user downloads to the desktop session could cause issues, but likely we will block the ability to download to prevent that.

Tracking Logins, and Logouts

I am looking for a way to track logins and outs on our RDP servers. The security log will show the Logins for sure, but are hard to find. I can even have an app record something in the background on login via app or scheduled app etc. The problem comes with logoff. There does not seem to be a clean way if the user never actually logs out of the machine i.e. is disconnected and terminated because of session inactivity. Anyone know a way to trap these?

NLA Disabled. Still can't RDP; "requires Network Level Authentication"

November 1, 2014, 1:20 am

Had a server I could RDP onto without any issue running Hyper V.

I removed the Hyper V role.

I then rebooted and attempted to RDP onto the server and can't:

The remote computer that you are trying to connect to requires Network Level Authentication (NLA), but your Windows domain controller cannot be contacted to perform NLA. If you are an administrator on the remote computer, you can disable NLA by using the options on the Remote tab of the System Properties dialog box.

OK... Never needed before.

I checked the network settings remotely with netsh and confirmed correct DC as DNS. So I'm scratching my head why Microsoft are lying to me?

OK, so I check the NLA settings remotely, sure enough is enabled. So I disabled via remote registry, reboot the machine, confirm the registry is set to NLA disabled again remotely and attempt to connect.

And... Same message.

I can access any other of the 2012 R2 servers on my domain without issue. I can open AD or any other Domain tools from other servers with the same DC as the problem server as their primary DNS.

How can I get that message when both the DC is contactable and NLA is disabled?

How did removing a role cause this BS suddenly?

RDS VM's crashing 0x50 PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA

Hi,

We have a new Dell R820 running Server 2012 Std as a Hyper V host, with 6 Server 2008 R2 Std VMs. 2 of the VM's are RDS servers, one with 25 users (RDS1) and the other with 10 users (RDS2). Since go live approx 3 weeks ago, the 2 RDS VM's have been crashing. RDS1 approx once a week and RDS2 approx 2or 3 times a week. Some crashes will leave a dump file, other crashes will not. From initial look at the dumpfiles, I have the following info:

PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA (50)
Invalid system memory was referenced.  This cannot be protected by try-except,
it must be protected by a Probe.  Typically the address is just plain bad or it
is pointing at freed memory.
Arguments:
Arg1: fffff680003b9268, memory referenced.
Arg2: 0000000000000000, value 0 = read operation, 1 = write operation.
Arg3: fffff800016f2dbc, If non-zero, the instruction address which referenced the bad memory
 address.
Arg4: 0000000000000002, (reserved)

They have referenced aAcentral.exe (a program from our Practice Management software APS), chrome.exe twice, and iexplore.exe.

None of the other VM's (2008 DC, file/print, mailserver, sql server) are crashing, just the 2 RDS VM's, which restart themselves, then users log back in, obiously losing any work they had open.

Can anyone help me out as to the cause and how to stop it?

RDP MaxBandwidth key

Hello

We use some sort of dictation software ,users are logged into the terminal server at the remote sites when they listen audio and when it is  choppy and jittery we would edit /alter the MaxBandwidth value for your RDP connection by changing this registry key: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32\Terminal Server\RDP MaxBandwidth: 0x000056b9 (22201)

This was working well in 2003 but since moved to  2008 R2 we were not able to find mentioned registry setting and to alter audio quality.

Does anybody know if there is similar key in W2K8 R2 registry?

We already tried with audioqualitymode entries but this did not give desirable results as mentioned registry settings

Thank you

Pooled desktops not working

I have two servers a RDS server and a hyperv host, the RDS server has all the rds services in it remote apps work and I can connect to local machines using the RDS gateway, I install a RD virtualization HOST on a hyperv host and created a pooled desktop deployment desktop-1 and desktop-2, all seems to be working, I can launch a pooled desktop while on LAN, Once on the WAN I can not access to pooled desktops from rdweb or remote desktop app for a 8.1 client, same client I can access RDweb, remote apps, remote computers using the RD Gateway but I can not access any of the pooled desktops. I attempted to connect and goes through the motions but hangs at "initiating remote connection" and will stay there forever, on the RDS gateway server there is no connection listed. I try to connect through the RDS gateway directly to one of the pooled desktop computers it connects without issue. I've verified tcp 3389 and udp 3391 on firewall are open.

It seems like i'm missing something in he RDS gateway configuration that will allow it to connect tor pooled desktops.

There is no issue for the remote desktop clients to login to the servers. however, when the session is idle and the clients try to resume the remote desktop after some time, the screen becomes black. Please advise us on this.

Thanks so much.

Remote-App lost focus / Screen/Window jumping

Hi everybody,

we have a new Terminal Server with Remote-Apps and a very interesting problem.

 

Host: ESXi 5.5

Guest: Windows Server 2012 R2

Remoteapp: CAS (not importend, all Remote-Apps have the problem)

Client-OS: Win7 and Win 8.1

 

Now the problem:

 

A Remote-App is started on a client - this works fine. The Remote-App opens a lot of windows (new mail, customer informations and so on) and it happens that the active windows lost the focus and jumps into the background and another windows is in front with the focus.

The problem is not reproducible and with this caution it is not possible to work with the Remote-App.

I found following hotfix (http://support.micro...b/2964832/en-us) but it is not applicable to the clients.


If somebody needs additional information, i will be available.

Thanks for your help and time!

Kind regards

Setup is as follows

Server 1 - Server 2012 R2  Session Host, Connection Broker, Web Access, Licensing

Server 2 - Server 2012 R2  Session Host

I want to be able to provide load balancing for this environment however whenever i try to add server 1 into the session collection it allows me to but then if i log off i cant log back in using RDP unless i use the switch mstsc.exe /admin and i get the following error message -

"The remote computer server 1 that you are trying to connect to is redirecting you to another remote computer named server 2. Remote Desktop Connection cannot verify that the computers belong to the same RD session host server farm. You must use the farm name not the computer name when you connect."

If i remove the server from the session collection it will then allow me to RDP back into the server and manage it as normal
