UDP profiles cant be detach from RDS Farm session hosts after disconnect or logoff

$

0

Hi,

We have a 2012R2 RDS Farm deployment consisting of the following:

1x AD ,1x RD Broker / RD Web Access,1x RDGW,3x RDSH,1x File Server for UPD.

All of the servers are running on 2012R2. We're having an issue with UPD's not dismounting when a user is logging off.

So when this happens the load balancing wont take effect. The user can only login to the same server as before and if it login to another server it will get a temp profile because the VHDx is still attached to the the former server. There is not much on the internet and we have tried deleting the VHDx and also cleaning the registry of all the temp SID values in the ProfileList section. And also We have checked network settings and there is no loss of network connectivity between any of servers.

The UPDs are stored on a 2012R2 SMB File Server and the notable  error we can see is the one below:

Log Name:      Microsoft-Windows-TerminalServices-RemoteConnectionManager/Admin
Source:        Microsoft-Windows-TerminalServices-RemoteConnectionManager

Event ID:      20491
Task Category: None
Level:         Error
Keywords:     
User:          SYSTEM
Computer:  <Computer>   
Description:
Remote Desktop Services could not disconnect a user disk for the user account with a SID of <SID>. The error code is 0xAA.93


Any help on this one would be highly appreciated.

When attempting to Shadow on 2012 R2 RDS we get an Unspecified error

$

We have built a Windows server 2012 R2 RDS server, and setup the whole deployment on one server, Gateway, Broker, licensing, session host, and collection.

But when we go to shadow the user using Server manager or command line mstsc /shadow:n when get this very helpful error:   Unspecified error in a Window called Shadow Error

I have tested Shadowing on another networks server with a similar setup and it works fine, only difference is the Active directory server are 2008 vs this one that doesn't work being 2003.

I have also tested using local accounts and still get the same error, and there is not a lot on the web regarding this error and RDS shadowing


Unable to Add Session Host Servers to Collection

I have had a working Environment of 2012 r2 server and collections all of a sudden start to cause giving me errors with adding new servers to existing collections.

The GUI and Powershell error I am receiving is "Unable to retreive collection properties"

I have gone through numbers threads and fixes throughout this community and others and have hit a road block and need some more ideas.

My latest thread that I have looked through here. Lead me to running through the RDMSUI Tracing logs, and getting the same error notated here.

Component RdmsUI: Failed to fetch local DB connection string from server: <server running in VM (RDCB+RDLS)>.<domain>: System.Management.Automation.RemoteException: Property DBConnString does not exist at path HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tssdis\Parameters.
   at Microsoft.RemoteDesktopServices.Common.DeploymentModel.ExecutePowerShellScript(String serverName, String script, Object argumentList, Boolean isLocalhost)
   at Microsoft.RemoteDesktopServices.Common.DeploymentModel.IsHighAvailabilityConfigured(String managementServer)

Looking at the answers in that thread is no where near what my problem appears to be because my setup is basic.

1 Connection Broker Server

1 Gateway Manager Server

Currently 16 Session Host Servers each connected to various collections that I have created.

As I said, I have been able to until last week, been able to add and remove session host severs to and from collections without a problem, but now I am completely unable to unless I rip out the whole collection and do a full rebuild including all of the session host servers that are going to be in that collection on the initial setup.

Hello,

   We have 2 servers in a housing; one has RDP and the other a SQL2014; the two are running Win2012R2.

   We want to install RemoteAPP, but seems that we need DC; is there any way to avoid that?; if not, where is it suggested to install DC (RDP or SQL server); I cannot buy another server for only DC.

   Thanks.

Academic Research - Remote Desktop Services CAL Licensing

$

I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to get academic licensing for clients to connect to an RDS server implementation to carry out an academic experiment.  My research has to do with machine learning based failure prediction and I need a way to generate load on a Microsoft Windows Server.  I've found a tool that generates Remote Desktop connections (which would create the authentication load I need on the Active Directory Services server) and I have a Remote Desktop Services server setup and ready with several clients, but no user licenses.


Is there some way for me to enable the connections (even if it's only for a couple of days) without having to pay for full blown licenses?  Any help/guidance/support would be greatly appreciated and potentially cited in the research.


Thanks!

"Because of an error in data encryption, this session will end"

All of a sudden my Windows 7 x64 computer is unable to connect to random Windows 2008 R2 servers via Remote Desktop.

I can connect to the same servers from other Windows 7 machines.

The only fix I've come across so far is this, except that key doesn't exist on either my machine or on the server(s):

To resolve this issue, follow these steps:

  1. Start Registry Editor.
  2. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\TermService\Parameters
  3. Under this registry subkey, delete the following values:
    • Certificate
    • X509 Certificate
    • X509 Certificate ID
  4. Quit Registry Editor, and then restart the server.

Does anyone have any suggestions please as I'm at a total loss what is happening here.

Thanks.

Deleting print driver on a Windows Server 2008 R2 - Role: TS

$

Hi,

I have a problem with deleting 3 print drivers on one of our Terminal servers, it keep saying this:

Failed to remove driver HP LaserJet M3027 mfp PCL6. The specified printer driver is currently in use.
Failed to remove driver HP LaserJet M4345 mfp PCL6. The specified printer driver is currently in use.
Failed to remove package prnhp002.inf. Access is denied.

The reason of this removing, is that HP has finally made there Universal Driver for 2008 R2, and therefore want to clean up in old drivers on our 4 terminal servers.

I have tried to stop spool service, but then i can't get in to "Print Server Properties", where i can find the print drivers installed.

Is it because i choose "Remove driver and driver package"?
Or is it because the driver file are the same for for the old driver and the HP universal driver?

Please help... 

2012 R2 RDS Temporary Profile issue

$

I have set up a standard 3 node 2012 R2 RDS for testing. All virtualized on VMware ESXi 5.0. I have a connection Broker, session host, and web access server. I have published several applications and I can access them without a problem. Here is my issue:

When I try to log on to my session host server either locally or thru RDP, I am always logged in with a Temporary profile. It does not mater what user account I use. Even logging on locally as the administrator I get a temporary profile.

All windows updates are installed and current.

I have removed the server from the domain, deleted the account, and rejoined it to the domain.

I have deleted all .bak registry entries from here:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList

There is a hotfix here for a similar issue on 2012 but it does not apply to 2012 R2

The only event viewer errors are:

1515 (Windows has backed up this user profile. Windows will automatically try to use the backup profile the next time this user logs on.)

1511 (Windows cannot find the local profile and is logging you on with a temporary profile. Changes you make to this profile will be lost when you log off.)

Any suggestions to resolve would be greatly appreciated.

RemoteFX Display problems with Windows 8.1 VM but not with Windows 7 VM running on Hyper-V VDI Server 2012R2

$

0

Has anyone seen anything like this?

After many, many, hours of wading through and eliminating potential variables the issue has been narrowed down to being present with a Windows 8.1 VM and not on Windows 7 VM.

The problem is with glitchy display issues (Random Pixellation, Fuzzy Screen areas, Entire Screen filled with random shapes/colors etc.).  

This is a Server 2012 R2 environment it is running Hyper-V Remote Desktop Virtualization Host.

  1. An Nvidia Quadro K2200 adapter has been enabled for RemoteFX and passed through.
  2. Also have tried Nvidia Grid K2 adapter. Both adapters use same driver set and multiple driver versions have been tested.
  3. Two Generation 1 VM's have been created.  One for WIndows 8.1, One for Windows 7.  All updates installed.
  4. Each VM uses the same set of Hyper-V resources, Virtual Switch etc.  (The settings for each VM are the same).
  5. With RemoteFX disabled on each VM the issue is not present on either VM.
  6. With RemoteFX enabled on each VM the issue is present on the Windows 8.1 VM and not the Windows 7 VM.
  7. There is no difference if only one VM at a time is enabled and running.  (Not GPU load related)

Using RDGW with AD computer groups and different DNS records

I'm trying to move all of my RDGW RAPs to use Active Directory computer groups. In testing, I've found that when outside of the network, I am unable to connect using a DNS A record that points to the hosts IP address but am able to connect when using the default DNS record that contains the hostname. When inside of the network, I can connect using either DNS name. This is 2012 R2.

Failed Remote Desktop authenticatoins are not in Security Log

$

I am trying to verify that failed access (via Remote Desktop) from a Windows 7 WYSE thin client (on the domain) to other machines on the domain are being logged. The domain controller is Server 2012 and I am using the advanced auditing settings offered in GPMC at the domain level.

When I open up the Remote Desktop Connection from the Thin Client to either a workstation on the domain or even the domain controller (as admin) and try to purposely enter a bad password for the domain user I can not seem to find any Failed Security event in the log on the DC or the workstation. I would expect this to be at least be shown on the DC.

However, when I do the same process as above and enter a username that I know to be incorrect and not a domain user with a random password, that failed event DOES get logged in the Security log on the DC as both a failed 4325 and 4776.

Any reason as to why only non-domain or non-accounts failed Remote Desktop login events are being generated on the DC security logs?

Also it appears that failed authentications for domain accounts at the actual physical thin client get logged just fine, just not when using Remote Desktop.

My Advanced Audit Settings for Authentication are as follows:

     ACCOUNT LOGON: Audit Credential Validation - Success & Failure

     LOGON/LOGOFF: Audit Logon - Success & Failure

                               Audit Other Logon/Logoff Events - Success & Failure 

Thanks

We have a Remote desktop Server Windows 2008 R2 Datacenter Edition.We can see all the remote printers when we start the sessions but all of a suddent all the printer drivers disappear for no reason.The solution is to stop the print spooler which stops lpd service as well and then restart both of them.I am getting a error code

While writing this case I tried checking the printer they got disappeared again.Today after restartign the spooler does not make any difference at all.Currently I have no printers and only the error log I have is pasted above.All the settings on client side and server side are correct that is why i can see the printers it is just they disappear every now and then.

Windows 2012 RDS without session broker cannot connect more than 2 users

$

Hi community,

I'm new on Windows Server 2012 (but not MS world) and I'm setting up a new system for remote access purpose.

We bought our 2 licenses for server 2012 R2 and 45 personnal RDS CALs (ESX with 2 CPus).

I setup everything (OS+RDS Cals) and we installed our software we wan't to share to our users.

As we previously was on Windows Srv 2003, we just want to setup "Remote Desktop" service without web access or service broker.

So now we have our server on AD 2008 like (Samba 4) without GPO for our host.

I've try many way to enable more than this 2 RDP slot without success (https://support.microsoft.com/fr-fr/kb/2833839 or via Local Policy). From the kb/2833839, I've an exception on ChangeMode().

My question is simple: Can we have more than 2 remote accesses without broker and all other stuff we don't want to use and if so, how can we do it.

Our RDS are correclty configured on our AD and are "green" on server side usign lismgr.

Thanks for your help

freezes of the RDS servers

$

We have several VMware Virtual machines. All servers are  Windows Server 2012 R2  Remote Desktop servers. Normal applications are installed like Office and we are using AppV packages to deploy applications like Navision etc.

We are using Automation Machine for deployment and we use VMware UEM for user settings.

The problem we have is intermittent unresponsiveness of one of the  RDS servers . When this happens the servermanager application on the connection broker servers are no longer responding, and if we close and reopen the Servermanager we see that one of the servers state is “inaccessible”. New user sessions freeze during startup on the welcome screen. CRTL+ALT+END doesn’t work, logging in to the console doesn’t work.

At that point nobody can login on any RDS server. We also cannot control other RDS machines anymore because the whole collection is related to that not responding server. Which does not give us the option to see which users are logged in on that specific server so we cannot send a message to the user to logoff. The only solution then is to hard reboot the faulty RDS server.

We have searched windows event logs for some answers but we haven’t found any useful information.

1 – What causes random freezes of the RDS servers.

2 – How can we avoid and keep access to a working server manager

3 – When one RDS is not responding the connection broker should redirect users to another RDS instead of the faulty one.

Failed Login

I have an old server running Windows Server 2008.  The client machines used to use Remote Desktop to access a database on it.  The software has since been changed to a different program that's a real server based application.  So now I keep getting failed login messages from the old server.  There are 2 client machines that are trying to connect to the old server on user accounts that no longer exist on the server or the clients.  How do I find and shut off this process on the 2 clients? I've already got it shut off on the old server.

Hello,

     I'm looking for failover cluster with minimum of 2 nodes without SQL Server.

Server -1 Remote Desktop web , Remote Connection Broker, Remote Desktop Session host

Server - 2 Remote Desktop Web ,Remote Connection Broker, Remote Desktop Session host

How can I achieve Failover cluster here. So if Server 1 fails or down then still my users can access their desktop session without downtime. 

these both servers are in VM on VMware, Please advice.


Regards, Thiyagu.
