I have a standalone 2012 r2 server, have configured the remote desktop session host and license server to both be this box, installed the CAL's. Everything looks fine but it is not issuing the cal's therefore we cannot connect more than 2 devices without
being prompted to kick someone off. No errors anywhere to indicate what the problem might be. Very frustrating. Licensing diagnoser says everything is fine and nothing in the error logs to indicate any issues. Setup is to use Per Device CAL's.

RDS Server 2016 RemoteFX - Nvidia Grid K1 - no improvement
I have gotten a server set up with Windows Server 2016 TP4, and deployed RDS on the server. I installed several applications that use several different rendering technologies (including OpenGL), and I am seeing no difference from RDS 2012 R2, even though I have enabled 1Gb of RAM for the graphics. The video card shows up on the client VM as Microsoft RemoteFX Graphics Device - WDDM, and is not recognized by any of the applications as a compatible card, so they have problems with hardware acceleration. For example, AutoCad 2016 does not allow me to enable hardware acceleration because it says my graphics card is not compatible. It is the same experience that we get when using RDS on Windows Server 2012R2.
On the server, we are running an Nvidia Grid K1, which is the top recommendation from Microsoft. I was not able to install the latest Nvidia driver, because it says the OS was not compatible. The only driver I was able to install successfully looks like it was from 7/2/2014 - 340.52. This is the only thing I could think of that would not allow RemoteFX to function properly. If this is most likely the cause of the issue, any information on a workaround would be great. I have tried to manually install the driver through Device Management, but it says that the driver is not compatible also.
I know my question is not specific, but I'm hoping that if nothing else, Microsoft becomes aware that the advertised improvements in 2016TP are not working - at least in our environment. I would have thought there would have been much more documentation about workarounds that might be required for the Grid K1, since that is the top recommended card, but I found nothing - Nvidia doesn't even mention 2016TP. My thought is that if the issue is the graphics driver, then Microsoft would have had to work closely with Nvidia on the driver, and there would be documentation somewhere.
I have been looking forward to the RemoteFX improvements in 2016 for many months, so it is pretty disappointing that I'm not seeing any change in performance.

Where is my Reconnect to Work Resorces button on Win7?
Hi!
Recently we set up a little RDS2012R2 farm with few session hosts and one broker. On my win10 and some of win7 machines we can see option Reconnect to Work Resources in system tray RDS icon, but on most of our machines this option is missing. It is critical option for our users, we need provide the ability to restore all running remote applications on the users desktops with one click.
Please, point me to a right direction, i have no idea why on some machines option is present and why is not on others.

RemoteApp Login Without domain or UPN
Hello,
We're building and RDS environment and are running into a use issue we don't like. We're going to serve RemoteApps strictly from the Web interface. We have the login working without requiring the domain to web but can't seem to get the RDP login to work without requiring the domain.
I've tried to set the customRDP settings but they never make it to the RDP file that is downloaded.
Set-RDSessionCollectionConfiguration -CustomRdpProperty "use multimon:i:0`nusername:s:DOMAIN\"
I've also added to the RDS HA Database and tried the domain custom property as well. Nothing seems to work.
I followed these directions for the web, and they worked great: msfreaks.wordpress.com/2014/07/22/properly-removing-the-domain-prefix-requirement-from-rd-web-access-2012-r2/
Does anyone know if it's possible to get this to work?

RemoteApp Feed not working
I've set up a single Server 2012 R2 Gateway/Session/RDWeb server. At some point during setup, the WebFeed stopped working and I can no longer connect using the RemoteApp and Desktop Connections control panel or the Remote Resources connection in the Mac RDC client.
Trying to connect to https://domainname.com/RDWeb/Feed/webfeed.aspx receives an Error code: "0x80040205, 0x1F4" on Windows connections and nothing on the Mac except an empty Remote Resources list.
Looking at the inetpub logs, the following events are recorded during the connection attempt:

The same 401 status codes are there, but it looks like the feed is supposed to return with the user SID and allow access. Instead, I'm getting a 500 status code on the non-working server.

RDP Client Flicker on Windows Server 2012 R2
I can't be the only one experiencing this issue. When 2 people connect to our Windows 2012 R2 server, the 2nd person to connect has issues with their screen flickering continually and making it unusable. The first user has no visual impalement to their
display.
After researching and playing with settings for over a week I re-enabled UAC on a whim and the issue is gone. Why would UAC have any effect on a users RDP connection. There should be no access issues, both users logged in have Administrator Privileges
and experience no issues when they are on alone. Again disabling UAC and the issues are back.
UAC serves us no purpose considering the size of my company and offers only roadblocks to our processing.

Limit number of sessions per user or group
Hi.
I´m working on a project where I need to allow multiple sessions ( already done ), but limit the number of concurrent sessions on a RDS farm...
At the moment, we're using only one RDS server ( R&D stage ), but in the future, there'll be a farm with RDS Connection Broker and many RDS Session Hosts.
I've come to the conclusion that the best approach is to create a custom GPO, apply to the RDS Session Hosts, and use a vbscript or powershell to block the logon when the number of sessions reaches the defined limit.
I'd like to achieve a group based ( Groups: 1RDSsession, 2RDSsession and so on ... ) user logon limit. I have some ideas in mind for a single server, and a possible solution for a farm.
But before spending time on this "adventure" ( I really like this kind of challenge :) ), I'd like to know if Windows2012 provides any means for doing this kind of control.
I know there's a per server sessions limit, but that doesn't solve my problem.
Thanks in advance!

Any ideas how to solve this issue?

licenses
I am running server 2012 standard. I purchased 5 open RD cals. I have them installed on the server, but the remote desktops don't seem to be using the newly installed licenses. RD, out of the box allows 2 remote users. After I installed
the new licenses, still only 2 users can remote in at the same time, and when I run the remote cal report, it shows that no licenses have ever been requested.

Options for redundant terminal servers
We recently spun up 2 new terminal servers running server 2012. We want to install the RDS CALs in such a way that if one is offline it won't affect the other. I would have set up the DC as the license server, but the DC is running 2008 R2
and a quick search tells me that while 2012 CALs can be installed on 2008 R2 it downgrades them so they wouldn't work with 2012 RDS. Is there a way to share the CALs between both terminal servers so that if one goes down the CALs are still available
to the other?

Wildcard Certificate Name Mismatch With Round Robin or NLB DNS Record
Spent (wasted) about 20 hours or so trying to resolve certificate issues with RDS 2012r2.
Currently I have decided the best approach would be to get a SAN certificate from a 3rd party service that contains 2 wildcard certificates (*.domain.net, *.internal.domain.net) (the second was a screwup from the guys who originally built the domain, all internal FQDNs are server.internal.domain.net). The common name on the certificate is *.domain.net.
My understanding would be that any server with an FQDN of *.domain.net or *.internal.domain.net would be covered by this certificate. Currently I'm only working with internal addresses so only the *.internal.domain.net is relevant.
I have Windows NLB running on two servers that are both Connection Brokers, Sessions Hosts, and Web Hosts with HA configured between the Connection Brokers. The NLB DNS A record is 'RDAPP' pointing to the correct IP. (Note: I have done this with round robin to the same result)
When I connect to 'RDAPP' via RDP I am given the Name Mismatch prompt
"Requested remote computer:
RDAPP
Name in the certificate from the remote computer:
*.domain.net"
When I view the certificate I see in the "Subject Alternative Name"
DNS Name=*.domain.net
DNS Name=*.internal.domain.net
The FQDN of the NLB DNS name is RDAPP.internal.domain.net which should be covered by the second wildcard.
The Certificate is correctly installed on all servers and clients used for testing. I've tested also on a linux thin client non-domain joined and get the same mismatch.
Let me know if I'm missing something simple or what else I should try next. Really out of ideas here. Have used every type of certificate from our internal Root CA, have tried multiple 3rd party certificates in various formats. My original farm worked fine but it crashed and burned due to the silly 2012 architecture and the 3 other farms I've brought up have this same issue.

multimon on admin user not on regular user.
Hi,
I have 3 Server 2008 R2 servers in a TS farm. If I connect via RDP using my admin user i can use all 3 screen's.
If I connect via my regular user (from the same laptop) I can only use 1 screen.
I have fine combed all the policy's to check if there is a "Limit number of monitors" policy running but I cannot find one.
I have also checked that there is no limitations on the Broaker.
Any tips on what else i can check? It feels like a policy thing since I can connect with 3 monitors with my admin user.

Windows Server 2012 - RDS RemoteApps and PCI Compliance
I have a client that is currently failing there PCI scan due to TLS 1.0
I've modified the registry to remove TLS 1.0 and 1.1 and confirmed TLS 1.2 is there.
Client has Windows 7 computer(s)
I've enabled logging so i can see how clients are connecting.
There appears to be a mix of TLS 1.0 and SSL3, however if i connect it reports TLS 1.2
The RDS Collection is set to TLS 1.0 (there is some bug posted a while back that said it doesn't display the right version!)
In desparation i did try RDS SECURITY but the Win7 clients couldn't launch a RemoteApp and evet log on the server ID:5605 saying to change auth to Pkt_Privacy. and because it was the working day i had to revert back to TLS 1.0
The way i see it, even if i can get the Win7 clients to connect at TLS 1.2, the PCI Scan will still fail !!
This must be an issues many are facing with TLS 1.2 and PCI but can't find any answers, only questions.
If i've missed any vital info here then please ask and i'll try to answer ASAP
Thanks in advance :)
