Users not showing in Terminal Server Under Remote desktop services manager and Task Manager

$

0

Hi All,

I have a problem here in Terminal Server. I can not see the users logged in to Server but i know users are accessing the files and currently working.

1. From the Task Manager-- Show processes from all users displayed all the processes accessing by users.

2. From the Task Manager-- From Users Tab--No users list at all

3. From the Command Prompt- Query users-- No information

4. From the Remote desktop services Manager-- used with IP/Host name-- Still can not see the users list and processes. So i can not kill the session if needed.

Enviroment:

TS CALS 20 currently accessing 15 users

VM-WARE GUEST: 2008 RS Terminal Services/Remote Desktop services installed

Windows up to date-- Just updated last month

Problem is here for long time. Just couldn't find the time to trouble shoot.

Connection Issues with RemoteApp 2012 R2

I have a problem with user connecting to a new RemoteApp environment.  The clients are Windows 7.  We have a broker, gateway, and 2 session hosts.  When a user launches an RDP file to connect, it prompts for credentials a few times saying that the logon failed.  If you close that and keep launching the file, it will connect.  Has anyone else ever seen this?

Best, Jacob I'm a PC.

RemoteApp Loses Focus - RemoteApp Window Drops Behind All Open Windows

$

Hi,

We have setup RD RemoteApp using Windows 2008 R2 for several applications within the company.

The programs that run as a RemoteApp on a client disappear, irregular.The connection to the AppServer is still active and visible in the task bar.It is just another program, which previously was located in the background, brought to the fore (eg Excel, Word, etc.).If programs are minimized, our RemoteApp is of immediate importance and it can be worked on directly.

If all other programs are minimized, and only the RemoteApp is in the maximized, the problem does not occur.

Thus, it appears that the focus is lost on the RemoteApp.Windows then puts the last used window to front.

This is happening on Windows 7 and XP Professional workstations.  I have applied all updates to the servers andinstalled RDP 7.0 on the XP machines and RDP 8.1 on the Windows 7 workstations.  I have also applied Hotfix KB 967885 on an XP machine but have not determined if this has worked yet.  If it does, great!  But this hotfix is only for XP and Vista. I still need a solution for the Windows 7 computers.

I have read the other threads but none of the suggestions have worked.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

Keyboard sensitivity

I am distinctly untechnical but use my laptop alot for word processing. It is a Lenovo with Windows 8. When I use a separate keyboard and mouse I have no problem. When forced to use the laptops's inbuilt keyboard, I am constantly frustrated by the way the display jumps around (from big to small etc) I am aware that I need to be more careful NOT to put my fingers inadvertently near the two 'pads' at the bottom of the 'desk' (sorry - I don't know the word for these features) but when, for example, I have to insert the cursor to edit, or manipulate  in any other way, I keep knocking things so that the display jumps. I can't find any part of the menu that explains how I can make the in-built keyboard less responsive/sensitive.

"The system could not log you on. The requested key container does not exist on the smart card."

I press OK, the the following errors appear:

"Windows is searching for drivers for your card. Please wait"
"The card supplied requires drivers that are not present on this system. Please try another card."

SRV2012R2 - SSO with RD-Gateway // Bypass RD Gateway Problems

$
0
0

Hello together,

we are using Server 2012 R2 Technology to provide Session Based Desktops and RemoteApps.
Servers are as following:
s05 - Profileserver 10.5.0.5
s06 - RDWeb + RDGateway (Local + DMZ IP) 10.5.0.6
s10 - RDBroker 10.5.0.10
s12 - RD Licensing 10.5.0.12
s13-15 - Session Hosts 10.5.0.13-15
s20-21 - RemoteApp Hosts 10.5.0.20-21

We mostly use the published Desktop. All Clients are Windows 7 Clients.
We configured SSO according to this Article (link) and it works like a charm.

However, we are also using RemoteApp Technology to provide external partners access to some internal ressources. This should also be done by RemoteApp. We have the external way working, but some partners can't access, they are getting prompted for passwords when connecting to an App. We figured out that this is related to the Deployment Property"Bypass RD Gateway server for local addresses" .

The Partner is currently blocking the access to his internal 10.5.x.x network as this is a internal reserved network on their side.
Users get an ICMP Response "administratively prohibited" and it seems that the RD Connection Client can't handle this reply and crashes with endless password prompts.

We deactivated "Bypass RD Gateway server for local addresses" and then - of course - the connection worked.
But, now all my internal clients must enter their passwords again in order to connect to session hosts. Single Sign on is no longer working.

We do not have deep knowledge in RDS / TS Gateway so any help is appreciated...

SSO GPO:
Allow delegating default credentials / NTLM only / saved credentials / saved NTLM -> FQDN of the Broker

RemoteApp Host GPO
Always prompt for password - disabled

Deployment Properties:
Use RD Gateway credentials for remote computers (checked)

Remote application appears magnified on some devices

$

<p>In testing RDS on multiple devices with different screen sizes and resolutions I have found that sometimes the application I run appears 'larger than life' on the screen.&nbsp; Often times it appears as if it set to display at 2X the normal size.  Below is a snip of what my outlook normally looks like running on my workstation.  The second image is the remoteapp version of outlook running on the same workstation.

When I run outlook via remote app on some of my devices it appears normal where as on others it appears 'larger than life'.  I have been testing RDS on devices as small as my galaxy S4 to a 10" win8 tablet to conventional laptops and desktops.

Has anyone seen this occur in their environment?

RD Gateway and Web Access 2012 R2 Hardware Load Balancing Best Practices

$
0
0

Hey all. I've been searching around but can't seem to find a straight answer to a couple questions I have about load balancing RD 2012 R2 (Session Desktops and RemoteApp). I've read a ton of deployment guides from various sites, including ones from hardware load balancer manufacturers, but there doesn't seem to be any Microsoft documentation regarding best practices for RD Gateway/RD Web Access farms in relation to hardware load balancing.

We currently have two hardware load balancers in active/active. We want to do the following configuration:

  • 2 - RD Gateway/Web Access VM
  • 2 - RD Connection Broker VM
  • 2 - RD Session Host VM

It seems some deployment guides say that you should configure your RD Gateways into a Gateway farm, while others say that the hardware load balancer can take care of this. A document from the Azure team regarding RD load balancing mentions setting up both RD Gateway and RD Web Access in a farm (I guess the latter through an IIS farm). Of course, the Azure deployment is most likely due to it being software load balanced.

So, what is the best practice? Is it necessary to place the RD Gateways in a farm, or can the hardware load balancer take care of this? The only actual discussion I found regarding this for 2012 was a comment on this site http://ryanmangansitblog.com/2013/03/31/rds-2012-configuring-a-rd-gateway-farm/ 

"Just a comment regarding the RD Gateway Farm. It is only there for backwards compatibility to guarantee affinity. When the two connections from the client happen to land on different RD Gateway farm members, the farm feature allows the second gateway to route the client traffic to the first gateway, thereby allowing the two RPC over HTTPS connections to be combined into one TCP connection to the RD Session Hosts. Microsoft does not recommend this configuration due to the scale overhead on the RD Gateways.
You can avoid the issue by simply sticking to a hardware load balancer (i.e. Kemp LoadMaster) or using NLB with affinity."

However, I have no way of verifying this, as I can't find any official documentation from Microsoft on the issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. 

Session ID issues - Force same ID

I have a program that constantly changes its default printer settings based on the session ID. There are always a different amount of users that log in remotely at different times. Is there a way to force a user to have a specific session ID so my printer/program settings can remain the same?

How can I change the startup program when connecting to my Virtual Machine on azure ?

$

Hi, I have a VM running on Windows Server 2008 r2. I have set it to open a program upon connecting from remote desktop connection. Now I would like to disable that feature. How would I do that ? I did change the startup program in the Remote Desktop Session Host, so whenever I now I remote desktop connect to my VM, it will open that application and there is no way that I can get back to the Remote Desktop Configuration Host to change it back to the way it was before (no startup program). Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks

PS: I'm not sure if this is in the right forum, I was looking for Remote Desktop Connection but could not find one. Please move it where you thing it's appropriate. Thanks



Printers of other users visible and show up multiple times under the control panel

$

Hello,

I currently have a very interesting problem:

Some (not all) printers show up multiple times on every user session on the specific terminal server. This behavior show up on both of the 2 servers. Also the printer only shows up multiple times under the control panel, but not in the printer dialog.

The users are not part of either printer operators, Administrator or Power Users.

The servers are Windows Server 2012.

I cannot find a reason for this after some hours with my friend Google.

Does someone have any idea how to fix this?

Thanks in advance

Terminal server license question

$

Hi,

I've got a terminal server and 200 user license, but the server is a workgroup server, not member of the domain.

The users being using RDP to connect and using the local accounts on the server to use the resources. 

I'd like to add this server to the domain.  By doing so, do I need to disactivate and re-active the TS licenses? Once I add the server to the domain, then users can login using their domain accounts instead of the local accounts.  Is there a issue i will

face if I do this?

thanks

Remote Desktop Gateway, can't connect from RDP 8.0 (Server 2012)

$

I'm racking my brain, I've done this before but I'm doing this in another lab environment . Non-Domain computers (Outside) trying to RDP in via the Gateway (Domain-Internal is working).  Certs aren't an issue as they're installed, I've tried it multiple ways, but for now I'm using the self signed generated via the RD Gateway manager.  I can go to https://rdgatewayurl/rpc and authenticate and get a blank page (external and internal).

New Domain, 2k8R2 Functional Level, no real GP customization at all, except not requiring NLA and enabling RDP on the internal "servers" in a specific OU.  My Account has Admin privileges on all the servers in question.

Another stupid question: This should also work with just the RD Gateway role installed, right?  I've tried it both ways with no luck.

RD Gateway is logging Event 4625 in the Security Log.  I feel like this should be obvious but my brain is fried.

An account failed to log on.

Subject:
	Security ID:		NULL SID
	Account Name:		-
	Account Domain:		-
	Logon ID:		0x0

Logon Type:			3

Account For Which Logon Failed:
	Security ID:		NULL SID
	Account Name:		myadminaccount@somedomain.com
	Account Domain:

Failure Information:
	Failure Reason:		An Error occured during Logon.
	Status:			0xC000035B
	Sub Status:		0x0

Process Information:
	Caller Process ID:	0x0
	Caller Process Name:	-

Network Information:
	Workstation Name:	EXTCOMP
	Source Network Address:	-
	Source Port:		-

Detailed Authentication Information:
	Logon Process:
	Authentication Package:	NTLM
	Transited Services:	-
	Package Name (NTLM only):	-
	Key Length:		0

This event is generated when a logon request fails. It is generated on the computer where access was attempted.

The Subject fields indicate the account on the local system which requested the logon. This is most commonly a service such as the Server service, or a local process such as Winlogon.exe or Services.exe.

The Logon Type field indicates the kind of logon that was requested. The most common types are 2 (interactive) and 3 (network).

The Process Information fields indicate which account and process on the system requested the logon.

The Network Information fields indicate where a remote logon request originated. Workstation name is not always available and may be left blank in some cases.

The authentication information fields provide detailed information about this specific logon request.
	- Transited services indicate which intermediate services have participated in this logon request.
	- Package name indicates which sub-protocol was used among the NTLM protocols.
	- Key length indicates the length of the generated session key. This will be 0 if no session key was requested.




RemoteApp windows showing with limited color depth despite settings for allowing full 32-bit color depth on Server 2008 R2 w/ Win7 clients

$

Hi,

I have an RDP server running Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 with RD Services enabled. No color depth limits are set. All clients are running Windows 7 Pro w/ SP, though I've tried Windows 8 and 8.1 with the same results. The issue is that RemoteApp applications are being streamed with limited color depth. The issue does not happen when using the full Remote Desktop. The same issue applies to all applications published through RemoteApp.

In case it's relevant, the server is virtualized using vSphere (vmware). I've tried un-checking the option to "Limit max color depth" as well as setting it to 32-bit. Nothing seems to help. Also, in case it's relevant, Desktop Experience is not enabled, as I don't see why that would apply to RemoteApp.

Thanks in advance for any help.

appdata folder takes too much space on rdsh server local disk c

$

hello all,

i have a small issue with my roaming profiles on RDS 2012 r2, the folder AppData is taking too much space per user on the local server in c:\users\%username%\appdata

i use roaming profiles through gpo and marked all the settings i could find to point all user profile folders to a network share and it works for all folder except for appdata\local

ive set the following (among others) in my RDSH machine policy:
policies > admin temp > > system > user profiles > set roaming profile path for all users logging onto this computer - i put my network path
policies > admin temp > windows components > rds > rdsh > profiles > set remote desktop services user home directory - i put my network path

in the users policy:
policies > folder redirection > all folders are redirected to my network share (btw i see AppData(roaming) but no Appdata(Local)

at the moment 1 user creates an appdata\local of 70mb
i also delete all temp junk left my users on the server but i cant create a local disk c of such size to handle many users...

is there a way to also redirect appdata\local to the network?
i cant use UPD (my share is not smb3 :/)

thanks for the help and time

Sean
