We will be using a new application that is hosted externally to our organization.  The we will be using a dedicated network connection to the hosting site. The hosting site has it's own Application Servers, terminal servers, and Ad Domain controllers.   We will be connecting to the the hosted application using the Remote Desk Top Client on Desktop Computers that are on our own internal AD Domain.  

I would like to understand high level Process Flow for Remote Desk Client Authentication Against Active Directory.   Are there any resources available that could assist assist me to understand the process.  

We have some concerns.

Thanks

Can you direct me to a possible solution to make a 2012 pool of servers?
We have 20 identical 2012 servers that my students use in class.
I will like to assign them from a Pool and not on on one basis.
(we cannot use win7, 8 , or 10. Only 2012 for education purposes)

Access is Denied - Remote Desktop

$
0
0

I have set up my Server (2008 R2 Foundation) for remote desktop and RemoteApp as per the instructions provided by Microsoft.  I am using a single server for all functions.  When a user logs in to the Server through remote desktop, the remote desktop screen comes up and then the user immediately gets an 'Access is Denied' message.  If the user connects through RDWeb, the RemoteApps are displayed, but when the user clicks on an application, they are prompted again for their login credentials and then they get the remote desktop screen with an 'Access is Denied' screen as well.  This happens even for Administrators.

I am getting very frustrated with this as I have read many blogs and tried everything to no avail.  PLEASE help me.

Logging into a specific server in a terminal server farm

$
0
0

We have several terminal server farms and in each farm we have the need for 1 user to always log into a specific server in the farm.   This is due to a little piece of sortware that is required for a device that only this one user has and the fact the it is licensed to only one server.   The user must use that server for it to work.  I want to include this server in the farm because it seems silly to have a server for only one user.    How can I point one PC/user to the same server in the farm all the time?  We are using the Connection Broker and NLB which seems to work just fine for all other users. 

Thanks

Steps to remove RD Gateway?

$
0
0

We have major issues with our Server 2012 RDS farm. We have had a case open with Microsoft Support for months and they cannot resolve the issues.

We have the Remote Desktop Gateway role configured, but I don't think it is needed. All users connect to the RD Collection by name "RDS" - via LAN or VPN.

We are trying to simplify our configuration and eliminate possible cause of all the issues.

What are the steps to remove the Remote Desktop Gateway from our environment and still have everything operate correctly?

Here are the Servers and Roles:

TS01 = RD Session Host

TS03 = RD Session Host, Gateway, Connection Broker and Web Access (currently not allowing Session Host connections)

TS04 = RD Session Host

TS05 = RD Session Host

App01 = RD Licensing Host

FS01 = UPD Shares

shadowing a 2012 R2 TS session with multiple monitors ---- the desktop got squeezed --- it is hard to see

$

Hi Forum,

I have this issue for a while ( since windows 2012 / windows 2012 R2 remote desktop days).  

(Edit: I suddenly realized 2012 RDS does not allow shadowing, its 2012 R2 RDS I am talking about)

When I shadow a session the user client having multiple monitors, on my screen, the user's desktops were squeezed like 1/2 or 1/4 (if he has 4 monitors) to show on my screen.

(This question may have been asked many times, I didn't seem to see an answer)

that makes it really hard to work.

any tips to work around this issue? make it like 2003 TS days?

Many thanks in advance.

Cheers

Michael

Windows 10 VDI collection on Windows 2012 R2

$

Just a quick question about VDI collections on Windows 2012 R2 RDS. Are they still restricted to Windows 7 and Windows 8 or is it possible to run a Windows 10 collection now?

Obviously Windows 10 can run on Server 2016 but until this is fully released I have a few customers that have enquired about deploying Windows 10 from their current 2012 R2 environments.  

Thanks in advance.


Kind Regards

Win2008R2 SP1 Application crashes when enumerating DLL functions via tlbinf32.dll

$

Hi,

I need to investigate some IT environmental problems in our Terminal server environment. We ourself don't manage this, it's a contractor that deals with all of the IT stuff. It must be some influence from GPO or virus scanner etc, becasue the problem occurs also on a clean VM they made for testing purposes. Because that new VM still follows the rules of the managed environment I think this is a systematic problem and not a coding error - if I install Windows 2008R2 on my own test machine I don't see this problem.

The problem itself: 

in our "managed" productional environment we have an application we develop by ourself. The application has a Richtext editor that can help VB scripting by reading out the "public" functions from two DLL they come with  our applicaiton. The readout is done with the Tlbinf32.dll which is part of the operating system. By doing this the application crashes.

In an "unmanaged" test environment the problem doesn't occur, debugview and process monitor just stop, but don't show any particularities or even errors.

Remote Desktop Services has taken too long to load the user configuration from server Event ID 20499

I keep getting Event ID 20499 "Remote Desktop Services has taken too long to load the user configuration from server \\SERVERNAME for user USERNAME" in our event logs for multiple servers that are running 2012 R2

I noticed that when this happens the user often is missing items that get applied via group policies such as desktop wallpapers and mapped drives.  

I am also using the Microsoft Remote Desktop for Mac that was release yesterday on another Mac computer and for certain users it won't launch the redirected folder that I specified when I get this Event ID 20499

rdweb authentication error 0x607

Hi,

I deployed a RDS 2012r2 with a self-singed certificate and everything worked until I changed the certificate with a third party cert.
I can still login using RDP from a client through RDS Gateway and broker .. is working, but when I try to log on through RDWeb I get the famous "authentication error 0x607" error.
Setting/changing the collection security to low ... is not working for me.I can't imaging that recreating the collection is the only solution to this.

Thank You,
Best Regards,

Connecting old Thin client (HP T5300) to 2012 RDS. "Because of a Security error, the client could not connect to the remote computer"

$

Hello,

I am having an issue with thin clients on my new RDS configuration.  All Windows 7/10 etc instances of MSTSC connect to RDS fine.  I have some Thin clients previously configured to 2003 Terminal Services that need reconfiguring to 2012 RDS.

I receive the error when trying to connect "Because of a Security error, the client could not connect to the remote computer".

In the Server event logs under RemoteDesktopServices-RdpCoreTSOperational, I see that it logs on and then an Event ID 103 "The disconnect reason is 0"

I have ensured that "Allow connections only from computers running Remote Desktop with Network Level Authentication" is NOT set, but I still receive the error.  I am not sure where to look next.  I read on Technet that possibly a cert is corrupt, but other Operating systems connect with no issue.

My set up is one collection with one server and I am attempting to connect directly to the FQDN of that one server.

If I have missed any details out, please let me know.  Any help gratefully received.

Many thanks,

Dan

We're an MSP and want to manually manage RDWEBAccess.config for use with new Modern Remote Desktop client and it's webfeed. Our customers are not in our forest so the Broker service has not created a RDWEBAccess.config file.

Could someone share a copy of their RDWEBAccess.config so that I can manually edit it for my needs?

Thanks, Stu

RDP Issues

$

I am running Windows 10 PRO.

I set up RDP on my host computer.

I downloaded the RDP app and installed it on my ASUS T300FT tablet

If the host and remote tablet are on the same network all works as expected.

If I move the tablet to a different network it cannot find the host computer.

Both the host computer and tablet are connected to the internet.

After failing to connect, I added the Port to the host IP address and it still failed.

I thought that maybe I have a blocked port but I am using Norton Security 2016 and it works on the same Network but not when both items are on different networks.

Thanks for any help given.

Set default domain so user does not need to enter it

$

In RDS 2012 R2, I want to set the domain automatically so the user does not need to remember to type this. I have found a few methods to do this on other forums. One seemed to work, but none of my published apps appeared. They would only appear if I explicitly entered the domain\user.

I'm looking for a way to do this without modifying too much.  I want to prevent changes from being undone after future updates if possible.  Can anyone suggest a good way to do this?

Thanks.

RDS Certificate name mis-match

$
0
0

I have a single server 2012 R2 set up to provide RDS services.  When logging into the server to use RemoteApps, I get the typical message about a mis-match certificate name.  Many articles on Google recommend changing the FQDN using Powershell:

Set-RDPublishedName "sample.domain.com"

I get a Powershell error message that the cmdlet RDPublishedName does not exist.  Seems strange since so many articles recommend this command.  Can anyone suggest what the problem is and a solution?

Thanks!

RDS Server 2016 RemoteFX - Nvidia Grid K1 - no improvement

$
0
0

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.

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!
