I haven't used SPLA for doing any RDS licenses and am having trouble finding info on where to get the licenses.
Where do I get licenses from? I can't find any info on the SPLA site or on the Microsoft Volume Licensing Service Center site.
Thanks!

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.

Server 2012 R2 - "The credentials that were used to connect to x.x.x.x did not work. Please enter new credentials."
Environment:
Server 2012 R2 stand-alone not on a domain (workgroup)
RDS feature has been installed
All users have been placed in the built-in group "Remote Desktop Users"
I have a total of 15 users (local accounts). 7 of the accounts were created the day I placed the server in production. The other 8 were created yesterday (6 days later). The first 7 users have no problem connecting to the server through RDS. The other 8 all receive the error message at login "The credentials that were used to connect to x.x.x.x did not work. Please enter new credentials."
I have verified the user name and password as correct. I have checked local policies and they are fine. I have restarted the server as well. I deleted the user account and added back with no luck. Changed the passwords with no luck. Does not matter what device/OS they are trying to login in from.
Now I am reaching out for assistance. Thanks

Windows 2012 RDS farm licensing
Hi,
We have built a Windows 2012 RDS "farm" and have also purchased 100 RDS CALs from MPSA.
Would someone instruction what do I need to do to make the 120 days warning goes away? How do I apply the license to each RDS host? Do I need to do anything on my connection broker? I also have a file server that holds the roaming profile of the user. I should not need to apply the CALs to it, right?

Requiring personal user certificates for RD (Gateway)
Hi all,
I am trying to build a network where RDP connections are allowed to users only if they have a valid personal user certificate issued by our internal certificate authority. I understood it would be possible, as some forums and articles note that it could be done through NPS RAP and CAP configurations, but I cannot find a tutorial on how to actually do that. Can someone share how to do it preferably on 2012 R2 environment, or point me into the right direction/link?
Background: I have already built a test environment with AD DC, CA enterprise server and RDS server, all on Windows Server 2012 R2. Remote desktop connections are enabled and working through Gateway and Web Access, and I have successfully implemented User, Computer and Web Server certificates for different machines and users (new templates duplicated from original templates, minor changes).
Any advice is greatly appreciated!

rds connecting to server 2012 r2 timing out after 10-15 minutes
I have several windows 7 computers connecting to a server using remote desktop connection timing out after 10-15 minutes and dropping back into the sign in screen (getting kicked off the server ) after being idle for 10 minutes or so. I want to extend
this so people do not have to sign on every time their computer is idle. I have set all the appropriate setting on the server in user configuration, I have set the idle timeout on the windows 7 systems. through local security policy. I also have the NIC set
so it can't be turned off by the server. and I also set the server security policy etc.. as well to 2 days for auto idle logoff. The server is NOT set up with a session host, and I know there is an additional setting available if I had that set up. is there
something else I am missing ?or do I have to set up sessions on the server?

Event 4005 - WinLogin [Windows logon process has unexpectedly terminated]
Folks,
Just noticed this becoming an issue on a Windows 2012 R2 Terminal Server after the last round of Patch Tuesday updates stemming from August 9th, 2016.
Typically, I'm rebooting the server every 24 hours to over-correct the issue - rebooting not being the best option here.
In previous discussions, it's advised to remove KB3002657 or KB3035132 from the server. Is this still the best option to restore full functionality even with the last round of patches and updates? Just to confirm, we are not using webroot as an AV solution.

Problems with RDS installation on a VM 2012R2
I noticed some strange thing on one of my servers which is a hosted VM with Server 2012R2 on it and session-based RDS installed. First on the list of Administrators I found a non resolved SID then when I went to RDS Connections I noticed users from domainB connected to the server however in Session Connection properties the "domain\B Domain Users" group was missing. I tried adding the group and Check Name resolved it just fine yet after clicking OK an error popped up saying "The security identifier could not be resolved.... The network path was not found". I enabled debugging and found the following errors. Where to go next to fix this issue?

RDS 2012 - HTTP & UDP Gateway Connections Reset
Hi
I have a single Windows 2012 R2 RDS server, which acts as all the RDS roles, including RD Gateway.
I also have an Windows 2012 R2 IISARR server setup to reverse proxy 443 connections to the server, and have port 3391 open on our firewall to allow UDP connections.
In short, if I connect using an RDP 8 client, I get three connections as expected. One HTTP and two UDP. If I connect using an RDP 7 client, I get one RPC-HTTP connection, again as expected.
The problem is that whereas the RPC-HTTP connection is stable, the HTTP & UDP connections disconnect every 2-5 minutes. The client screen goes black and a Reconnect Attempt 1/20 windows is displayed. Each time though the connection re-establishes itself and the session is not reset.
In the gateway manager, monitoring page, you can witness these connections disconnecting and re-connecting. It's very puzzling. The event logs acknowledge the disconnect, stating reason 0.
On the Windows 8 clients, I've tried the recent hotfix 2897602 and tried turning off Windows Location Services. But that doesn't help.
I've read a lot about UDP and RDP8, with some saying it doesn't work properly and that you should turn it off. However, I have it turned on as I was having problems scrolling PDF files in the remote session, which the UDP connections fixed.
Any help with this would be much appreciated. I've done so much research and spent so much time on it...
Thanks

RD Gateway Manager Crashing adding a RAP

As far as I can tell from searching, it seems to be .NET that's crashing, but I haven't found any solutions.All three servers (Web Gateway and both Connection Brokers) are fully patched.
has anyone else sen this and/or have any ideas how to either fix it or maybe some kind of workaround?

Windows 2012 R2 - ADDS and RDS Broker on same server
I've just setup 3 new Windows 2012 R2 servers. Names and their intended roles as below:
- DC-SVR01 - roles: Domain Controller, DNS, DHCP and RDS Broker (VMWare VM)
- RDS-SVR01 - role: RDS Session Host server (HP Physical server)
- RDS-SVR02 - role: RDS Session Host server (HP Physical server)
All there servers were joined to the domain, given static ipv4 addresses and all available MS updates were applied.
At this point no roles or features had been installed on any of these servers.
I then deployed RDS using Server Manager from DC-SVR01. The RDS Broker and RDS Web role installed onto DC-SVR01 and the RDS Session Host role installed onto RDS-SVR01 & 02. After a reboot of all three servers i could successfully see and manage the servers
using the 'Remote Desktop Services' feature within Server Manager. This morning i installed the ADDS role and promoted DC-SVR01 to a domain controller (existing forest/domain with 4 Win2008 DC's). After reboot of this server i now get the following error from
server manager when navigating to 'Remote Desktop Services > Overview':
"The server pool does not match the RD Connection Brokers that are in it. Errors:
1. Cannot connect to any of the specified RD Connection Broker servers. Ensure that at least one server is available and that the Remote Desktop Managment, RD Connection Broker, or RemoteApp and Desktop Connection services are running on DC-SVR01.
I checked the services on DC-SVR01 and found the Windows Internal Database failed to start due to logon issues. I changed the logon account from NT Services to a domain admin account and it now starts successfully.
The problem only seems to have come about since promoting DC-SVR01 into a DC.
I've read many other similar issues on the net but these seem to indicate this is only an issue when ADDS and the RDS broker role is installed on a server which is running Windows 2012 RTM. All of my RDS servers are running Windows 2012 R2.
I cannot find anything to suggest that ADDS and RDS Broker roles are not supported on a single server running Windows 2012 R2? Any assistance would be appreciated.

RDP don't update desktop
We have a Windows Server 2008 r2, which used for consultants. In it we can take a look that each consultant doing right now by Remote Control. And everything works fine except one thing. In sessions usually freezes the image. I thought that this is because
RDP properties and changed "PinConnectionBar", "BitmapPersistCach", "BitmapCacheSize", "Min Send Interval" to more relevant sizes. Most of sessions work correctly - i can assume control of the session and take a look
on the consultant work. In one session I still can't do what. If image freeze once, it gonna be so even if i reload my PC and all RDP connections. I make RDP options even bigger than before, but it still didn't work. Now then i assume control i see last
PrintScreen of the Consultant desktop, i see how clocks in the left angle changing, i see how cursor in the Shell console twinkle and that is all.

Renewing SSL Certificate for Multi-Server RDS Deployment
Hey guys. Hopefully an easy question for you but I have not been able to find a case that 100% matches this question. I have been tasked with renewing the SSL certificate for my company's RDS deployment for SAP. I am actually not 100% new to RDS as I have done some administration for this deployment in the past, but I have never needed to handle certificates up to this point (I am taking over for a previous systems engineer who is no longer with us who is the original architect of this deployment) and would like to get confirmation on the process.
Before I continue, let me give a brief breakdown of my environment (Server 2012 R2):
- TS1 - RD Connection Broker, RD Session Host, RD Gateway, RD Licensing, RD Web Access
- TS2 - RD Session Host
- TS3 - RD Session Host
As I understand it, all I should need to do is:
- Purchase a SAN certificate with all of my servers listed in the SAN field as well as the RD Web Access URL (Basically make the certificate match what I currently use) and place the certificate somewhere in TS1
- Open Server Manager on TS1, navigate to Remote Desktop Servers, click Tasks-> Edit Deployment Properties
- Expand Certificates and then select each of the 4 Role services one by one andSelect existing certificate... to apply the new certificate to each role service
I believe that is all I need to do. From what I understand I do not need to individually apply the certificates on the session hosts, rather, the certificate simply needs to have SAN entries covering the FQDN of each session host. Am I missing anything or should this cover it?
Thanks all!

Enable Restricted Admin mode for RemoteApps
I need to enable Restricted Admin Mode for MSTSC across my 2008 R2/W7 domain. I need Authenticated Users (with RD access) to be able to access a Remote App available on RD Web Access Gateway. With RA mode enabled, they get a "restricted access" error when attempting to connect via MSTSC (prior to application launch). If I attempt this while logged in as Domain Admin I am able to connect over MSTSC and launch the application as normal.
I tried adding "remoteapplicationcmdline:s:/restrictedadmin" to the Custom RDP Settings in Session Host configuration, but I get an error that I "cannot override global settings".
Is it possible to apply this cmd line argument to a RemoteApp application, or is there another way to enable Auth Users to connect while still using Restricted Admin mode across domain MSTSC connections?

Everytime this error message is logged the user gets disconnected from their RDS session.
So far we tried the following:
- Validate AD health (sites,subnet,replication, sysvol)
- We changed the DisableTaskOffload option as suggested in other posts
- We verified the group policy settings applied
Unfortunately we still haven't found what the root cause of this issue is.
Any suggestion of similar previous experience is welcome.
Thanks in advance!
