RDP (Remote Desktop) to Windows 10 without passwords not possible anymore. Bug or feature?

August 27, 2015, 12:16 pm

After upgrading two of my machines to Windows 10 (Education N clean install and Pro N upgrade from Win8.1), I was not able to set up Remote Desktop as I was used to since Windows 7 (maybe this was possible before, too).

I am used to configure Windows to allow RDP connections as a user without password (home usage only). Apparently this is not working anymore after upgrading to Windows 10. (I have enabled this by modifying secpol.msc 's security policies. Further informations provided if needed).

With the "no password" setup i get immediatly disconnected by the local machine which seems to auto login by itself after connecting via RDP. The only solution I managed to find so far was to set up a password. 

Is this a bug or a feature?

Cheers

OpenGL in Windows Server vNext Technical preview

I'm using nVidia Tesla C2050 card. I've setup two VMs and the RemoteFX driver is detected. The latest nVidia drivers for the C2050 are installed on the host machine.

I tried a Heaven Benchmark inside VMs for a test and DirectX 11 and 9 benchmarks are working properly.
The problem is OpenGL doesn't work. Any other applications also doesn't detect OpenGL acceleration. It just falls back to software renderer.

Do I need to do any special configuration to enable OpenGL or the drivers are not working properly for the my card?

RDS Users Losing Default Printer at Login - Default set to RDS Local Printer Object(s)

We have users connecting to WIN2K8R2 RDS (Terminal Server) from WYSE thin clients. We recently started seeing an issue where the user's default printer is changed at login to a printer local to the RDS Server (PDF printer, OneNote Printer etc). The user's printers show up, they can set them as default again, but they are losing thier printer as default when they login for some reason.

We are not trying to map printers through from their client. Their default printer is installed manually on their RDS profile by browsing the printer directory or the print server \\servername\printername.

RDS Host Application and Services Logs > Microsoft > Windows > PrintService > Admin log shows a lot of "Event ID 823 Changing the default printer". "The default printer was changed to Print to PDF,winspool,FILE:. See the event user data for context information".

Can anyone provide advice on how we can correct this? It's becoming more than annoyance now.

Thank you!

Device CAL issue

I have Win 2008 R2 RDS server that is handing out multiple CALs to the same machine.

These machines are not cloned and I have verified that the Hardware IDs are the same.

LicenseIDIssuedToMachineHWID
121HOHEJ70002bf1cd0328331154d079a4e5b01f8ac83
123HOHEJ7 0002bf1cd0328331154d079a4e5b01f8ac83

The HOHEJ7 machine doesn't exist on my domain but it has been issued 30 + licences.

There was a PC named HOHEJ7 at one point, no longer exists though.

How can I clear these out, I can only revoke so many?

Server Error in '/RDWeb/Pages' Application - The handle is invalid

We are running windows 2008R2 with with TSG running. Everything has been running fine since it was set up a few years ago, however out of the blue we are receiving the following error:

Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code. 

Exception Details: System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: The handle is invalid

Source Error:

Source File: c:\Windows\Web\RDWeb\Pages\en-US\Default.aspx    Line: 387 

We have tried removing and re-adding the TS Web Access component, however it simply returns the same error. As you can see it's falling over on a closing brace, however it seems from the file (Default.aspx) that the closing brace is required.

I have checked all the correct pages are in IIS as well. I'm a bit stumped and would like to see if anyone has come across this before.

RemoteApps on Windows 10 freeze after about 5 minutes

Anyone know what I can do to prevent my RemoteApps sessions from freezing on me? I'm using windows 8.1 Ent. to host a Hyper-v instance of Windows 10 Ent.  I have an rdp file with the remote app parameters set to launch a specific application such as Outlook.  However, after about 5 minutes all the remoteapps will freeze. However, the menu bars in them will still work.  Any suggestions of any settings or a hint of what to try next would be great! This worked completely fine in windows 8.1 and all I did was update my VM to v10.

I have replaced the win2k3 terminal server with a win2k12 r2 RDS server.

I would like to have to have the win2k3 terminal server turned off for a year before disjoining it from the network. Will there be a problem if the win2k3 terminal server has been offline for a year and then I connect it back to the network and disjoin it from the network?

Thanks

Outlook 2013 Mail Desktop Alert not shown

Dear Community,

I have Windows 2012 R2 servers with Remote Desktop Services and Microsoft Office 2013 installed. Also there is Citrix XenDesktop 7.6 installed.
 

Our users connect to Published Desktops. Everything is working fine except for the Outlook Desktop Alert is not showing up when a user receives a new mail.
The tray notification icon (envelope) works as expected.

The Outlook options are configured to show Desktop Alerts.

This issue is not Citrix related since this error also appears within a  "pure" RDP session.

When I open Outlook with an administrative account (on the Remote Desktop Server) I receive the Outlook Desktop Alert as expected.

Any ideas?

Best regards,
Hoba

Terminal Services Alternative LEGAL ???

As you maybe know if you need a desktop virtualization the remote desktop/Citrix is one of the solution, however the licensing is a real cost problem.
CAL on server side and VDA on users side, it seems Microsoft don't want we use the terminal server.
Since 10 years we can see many alternate solutions, they are also using Terminal server technology.
Most of them can be used on 2003/2008 server and also in XP/Vista/W7 (desktop OS)

My question (please I need a clear answer) why Microsoft don’t' do any think to stop this business?
Is it legal?

RDP Session disconnected for not admin users

Hi all, I have a Remote Desktop Session Host installed in a Citrix Server, every thing works fine for almost 3 months and then the users lost the ability to log into the server. 

I go for the usual suspect the licensing server, but everything seems fine in that end. I check that using PowerShell

$obj = gwmi -namespace "Root/CIMV2/TerminalServices" Win32_TerminalServiceSetting

$obj.GetSpecifiedLicenseServerList()

And verifying the group policy and the Licensing Diagnosis in Remote Desktop Session Host Configuration. 

The only thing that I found strange in the event viewer, is that with every attempt to connection after the session close event this event show up

- <Event xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/win/2004/08/events/event">
- <System><Provider Name="Microsoft-Windows-TerminalServices-LocalSessionManager" Guid="{5D896912-022D-40AA-A3A8-4FA5515C76D7}" /><EventID>40</EventID><Version>0</Version><Level>4</Level><Task>0</Task><Opcode>0</Opcode><Keywords>0x1000000000000000</Keywords><TimeCreated SystemTime="2015-08-28T12:07:18.608801000Z" /><EventRecordID>1784</EventRecordID><Correlation ActivityID="{F440142F-FB97-4B4F-A4A2-1C1AF0170000}" /><Execution ProcessID="760" ThreadID="6440" /><Channel>Microsoft-Windows-TerminalServices-LocalSessionManager/Operational</Channel><Computer>xxxxx.xxx.xxx</Computer><Security UserID="S-1-5-18" /></System>
- <UserData>
- <EventXML xmlns="Event_NS"><Session>2</Session><Reason>12</Reason></EventXML></UserData></Event>

I can connect with RDP using an admin account but any attempt to connect using RDP with a user account, ends in the screen loading the user and closing the connection after two seconds.

CRM Modal popup Window on IE11 over RDS remoteApp is losing Focus randomly

August 26, 2015, 2:06 am

Hi,
who can help me on this ?

since months I'm facing a problem* with a web application (a CRM) when published as remoteApp
on IE11 on top of 2012 R2.

The problem* :  
- when user launches a modal window from within a main IE window/page, the Modal popup 
  gets hidden / focus is lost although I can see it on my client PC taskbar, nothing happens when I try
  to get focus back to it.

-------------------------------------------------------

The CRM :
- runs perfectly on IE11 / win7    PC
- runs perfectly on IE8  / 2008r2 Server (the IIS server itself)
   => though no remote desktop session host role installed there so not sure the latter is a relevant test scenario
- has following hardcoded <metahttp-equiv="X-UA-Compatible"content="IE=EmulateIE8"/>
   => causes Document Mode to be 5 (Quirks Mode) on my windows 7 / IE11
   => same thing on remoteApp session + added the site to Intranet Zone andEnterprise Mode
         XML file so IE 11 is running in Enterprise Mode Emulating IE8
          I admit this has made less probable the issue to happen

Note that I did the test in a full RDP session and the issue is as random as in remoteApp.
Tried following without succeeding to get focus on the child window :
- ALT+TAB
- ALT+TAB+ESC
- CTRL+Alt+END  play with the remoteApp's TaskManager minimize/maximize window ...
- Procexp.exe as remoteApp in same TS session then try BringTo Front / maximise / minimise etc
- NirSoft's winexp.exe with the focus options it provides... ... no success...
   (that was on a test VM so please I don't break things ..)
- registry keys ForegroundFlashCount and ForegroundLockTimeOut
- disabling language bar (remoteApp's session) that shows on client's taskBar seem to reduce probability of the issue to appear..  but is not a fix

- looked at the app's javascript responsible of popping the app ... but actually it runs ok on PCs ?! so for what good…



RANDOM behavior sometimes OK sometimes KO
Although when IE11 developper tools is launched, the issue happen practically each time I test
wich keep me hoping this is not RDS/remoteApp related


I can see following existing KBs though for (2008 r2) but with similar issues …
               The pop-up windows of a RemoteApp program may be hidden in Windows Server 2008 R2

               and in Windows 7

                https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2384602

               

               The pop-up windows are hidden and the TS RemoteApp application stops responding

               in Windows Vista, in Windows 7, in Windows Server 2008, and in Windows Server 2008 R2

                https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/983533

I tried to install this KB but it keep saying it is not applicable to this computer
 RemoteApp program pop-up window is hidden in Windows




Any Help would be much apreciated.
Thanks.

Transferring CALs question

August 28, 2015, 10:53 am

Hi,

So we run a Windows 2008 RDS environment.  It was created before I worked here and has 50 user CALs total.  20 are Win 2008 RDS CALs; 30 are Win2012 RDS CALs.  I will presume my predecessors had to buy 2012 licenses and had the Clearinghouse provide the licensing keys for 2008.

We are migrating to a new 2012 RDS environment.  We have the servers built and have created a new 2012 RDS Licensing service. 

My question is, if I call the Clearinghouse and ask for a key for my 30 2012 RDS CALs to install in my pre-production 2013 RDS environment, will this have an adverse effect on my 2008 production environment?  Will the Clearinghouse do this at all? Will the 2 RDS Licensing servers know that these CALs are in use in 2 places? I do not want my Prod environment effected negatively while I test the new environment.

I called the Clearinghouse and they could not answer this question.  Any guidance appreciated.

Hello.

I used RemoteFX on Windows 7 Enterprise VM with Windows Server 2012.

But i needed OpenGL & OpenCL support, so i upgraded to Technical Preview 2.

And set up Hyper-v with Remote desktop virtualization Host.

I selected generation 1, and browsed windows 10 enterpise iso file.

after installing, I ran windows update on VM(I heard that Hyper-V integration services were moved to Windows update), and added RemoteFX Video Adpater.

But after booting, I can't get signs whether any windows were loaded.. and also cannot connect by RDP.

I saw remotefx demonstration on microsoft blog, so RemoteFX is on technical preview. Is it right?

Hi,

Is it somehow possible to configure so that the clients local printers ONLY is connected in the RDS session when accesing the RD server through the RD Gateway?

When connection directly (over S2S VPN) i do NOT want the clients local printers to be accessible in the RD session. I know a can accomplish this by letting the user use two different .rdp files one their desktops but i want this to seamlessly work when using the RD Web interface.
