RemoteApp Java Web Start must be launched twice

$
0
0

Greetings,

We have a RemoteApp that we are pushing to end users.  When starting the application for the first time, there is a pause between the initial application loading and the logon window.  The logon window does not appear unless our users run the RDP again, at which point the Java Web App provides them with the original login window, and eventually a second one.

Does anyone know a good way to fix this?  Is there a way to set the launch time or do I need to put the remoteapp in a wrapper of some sort that keeps the window open?


Two RDS licensing servers

$

Hello,

Here is our RDS setup

On premises:

- DC, AD RDS licensing server Win 2008 subnet 192.168.1.X

- One RDS server for 30 users (not all 30 users logs in at the same time. Average 10 users)

Azure Cloud

- DC, AD 2016 different site AD sync enable with one premise AD, DC server ( 2008) Subnet 172.1.X.X

- Planning to install one RDS server in Azure

- Planning to run Licensing server on Azure DC server.

We are planning to test the Azure setup for 3-4 months after successful testing on premises servers will be decommissioned and all the users will login to Azure RDS server.

My question is, can we run two licensing servers in this scenario? On premises is already running on 2008. Can we install another one on Azure server and activate it with 2016 RDS licenses?

Thanks in Advance.

How do I Replace the Self-Signed Remote Desktop Certificate in the "Remote Desktop" Store on 300+ servers

$

Hi,

I want to upgrade all the certificates on all of our servers in our domain to SHA256. We only use RDP to logon to each domain member we do not have a RD gateway or such. I have Read that you can manually replace it using powershell (https://www.derekseaman.com/2013/01/creating-custom-remote-desktop-services.html) , but I need to automate this for 300 servers. Any suggestions? Can it be done via GPO?

Thanks!



Powershell to find user who owns hard disk

$

Hi,

Deleting a userprofile in a RDS environment which has a broker and a filecluster with UPD is quite cumbersome so I would like to automate the process.

The function:

1.queries the number of the disk attached to a user on RDS: you can see on the vhdx (in security) who is the owner, but howto via powerhsell?
2.query on which server the user is logged on and LOG HIM OFF
3.ONLY WHEN USER IS LOGGED OF, deatach the disk (number)  from server (the id) 
4.deletes the vhd (via sid of user.vhdx) on filecluster

I can do steps 2 tot 4 in Powershell but how to find the number of attached disk to the user on the broker and/or server?

Please advise.

I am using msRdpClient8 to establish a remote session and launch an application on the server using the MS Remote App mechanism.

It is found that even after setting the below GPO  ,It is possible to establish multiple remote session and launch same application using the remote app mechanism .

Restrict Remote Desktop Services users to a single Remote Desktop Services session  --> enabled

I want to know if this is a expected and why it behaves like this ?

Is this documented any where in MS site ?

Win2008R2 RDP Connection Issues

$

We have a server running the connection broker service and following a restart will no longer accept RDP connections.

We also experienced the same issue on another connection broker and domain controller in the same domain. After a restart we saw the following event in the system logs..Schannel Event 36870 (A fatal error occurred when attempting to access the SSL server credential private key)

We were able to resolve this with the following fix detailed here:

https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/askperf/2014/10/22/rdp-fails-with-event-id-1058-event-36870-with-remote-desktop-session-host-certificate-ssl-communication/

We saw that the network service no longer had access to keys in the MachineKeys folder or on the certificate in the personal store. The read access was reapplied as suggested and worked.

However on our secondary connection broker the same symptoms presented and the same fix was applied. However RDP will still not work and now records the following event:

Schannel The internal error state is 10 ( Event ID:36888 )

We have a snapshot of the server which works with RDP up till the moment we restart the server. 




Only newly created users get a temporary profile, no UPD created

Hello! Since a few days newly created users get a temporary profile when logging in to our RDS 2012 R2 farm.

We have a farm with 9 RD session host, users have User Profile Disks and everything has worked fine for over a year. Now only newly created users get the temp profile pop up when logging on to the farm, and no UPD is created. When I check the registry ( HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList ) a *.bak item is created. When we delete it it's recreated whem te users logs on again.

Existing users who we have created a few weeks earlier have no problems at all.

I'm a little stuck here, any help is really appreciated!


Corrupt Windows 2012 RDS Basic Color Scheme

$

We have one Windows 2012 R2 server that has been functioning fine up to a couple of weeks ago.  After a reboot the screen colors went haywire.  It seems somehow the “Windows Basic” color scheme got corrupted. Black text becomes yellow text. White backgrounds become black backgrounds. The right-hand scroll bar becomes black with white outline. And in some cases white text will replace black text on a white background, rendering the window contents invisible.

Following a number of suggestions online I have been able to get this server back where users can use it.  What I have read online indicates that a reboot (due to MS Updates or whatever other reason) could cause this corruption again.

What I want to know - has MS come out with a permanent fix for this issue?  Just because the basic color scheme gets corrupted is no reason to have to reload a server (one suggestion I found online).  As I see things, this should be a situation like installing a new updated graphics driver to fix a resolution issue. 

What about it MS?  Care to pipe in with your thoughts on this matter? 

What does the community have to say?  I am hoping you tell me there is at least a hot fix for this.

Thanks

Access is Denied - Remote Desktop

$

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.

Shared User Starting Multiple RDP Connections to Pooled Virtual Desktop Collection

$

I have setup a Windows 16 (Datacenter Evaluation) test server with Hyper-V and Remote Desktop Services installed. I am using Virtualization Host with a collection of pooled Windows 7 VMs. What I need to be able to do, that I can't right now, is to start multiple sessions from different clients (they will be thin clients eventually), using the same user. Right now when I try it will start the first one, then the next connection will take over the first one. 

Sometimes I can start 2 sessions with the same user but then the third connection takes over one of the first two. I don't know why this happens but it seems to happen most often when starting the first connection from a desktop using the RD Web Access, and the second connection from an RDP file on a thin client.

I do have a connection broker running on the server, and I cannot use RD Session Host.

RDS Web Access with RSA SecureID without ISA - Web Access breaks down

$

Hi all,

I am trying to setup our RDS Web Access to authenticate via RSA SecureID using the RSA Web agent on the RDS Web Access-server. I do not have a ISA/TMG server and i will not be able to get this. I have been looking alot arround the net for a fix for this, but the only guides and questions out there is when people are using an ISA.

I got RDS Web Access and Gateway on the same server and a RDS farm behind. It works great without the RSA authentication.

I have installed the RSA Web Agent on the server and it intergrates perfect with IIS and on a testpage it has been tested and it works.

But when i enable the "RSA SecureID Web Access Authentication" on the Default Web Site, the /RDWeb just breaks down with Internal Server error 500. When enabling i get an error with "This web site has one or more applications which have custom application pool that is incompatible with the Web Agent" I'd figure that the pool that is incompatible is the RDWebAccess-pool.

The server error 500 gives me the following information (accessed from localhost):

Module SecurIDModule
Notification BeginRequest
Handler StaticFile
Error Code 0x00000000
Requested URL https://localhost:443/RDWeb
Physical Path C:\Windows\Web\RDWeb
Logon Method Not yet determined
Logon User Not yet determined

It happens even borefore i enable the RSA Authentication for the RDWeb application.

Has anyone got RDS Web Access to work directly with the RSA Web agent?

I hope you can help me out here - thanks.

how to set a file extension to open with a specific application for all users?

I have a file extension lets say .abc and i want it to be open with app1. The app1 was installed on the RDS server but .abc was not part of the file associated with the program. However the program can open .abc files with no problem. I can set it manually for each user by checking the "use this app for all .abc files" option but i want it to be for all users not just one at a time. I try using the GPO and Dism export method but with no luck. I got the xml file but i don't see the .abc file extension in there. Am i suppose to add it?

Any suggestions? Thanks.

Private vs Shared Program Direcroies

$

First of I know little of TS and am trying to advise a client who wants to deploy our app via TS. If anyone can point me in the right direction would greatly appreciate it.

Our App, which is self contained in it's own directory (no tmp files or ini's in home directories, etc...), has an auto updating capability per user and files within the program directory need to be writable per user, so the program directory can't be "shared" by each TS session (this is an assumption). 

My question is how to have each TS session have it's own copy of a program directory which also contains the app .exe?

Thanks,


Desktop as service.

What I need to make each user access his desktop with all the published application so he can use them with no dependenceon his work computer. So he can access the same "desktop" from home or from other country. We don't want to publish only apps we want to publish the whole desktop which hosted on the cloud. We  have groups of users (maximum 30 for each) and we want to enable remote desktop access for each group. We have subscription for each user on office 365 and we want to allow these users to access their desktop.




RDS session host and connection broker high availability with minimum (2) nodes

$

We implemented Windows server 2012 based remote desktop service with complete HA solution for session host and connection broker roles. Also, our requirement is to deploy minimum number of servers possible.

SETUP1:

RDSFARM1
CHNTS01 (SESSION HOST, CONNECTION BROKER, LICENSING) 10.10.10.70
CHNTS02 (SESSION HOST, RDWEB, LICENSING) 10.10.10.71
CHNSQL02 (SQL SERVER 2012)

Added servers CHNTS01 and CHNTS02 to the farm RDSFARM1 and installed the roles as above. To install connection broker role to second server also we implemented HA for connection broker. Implemented it through server manager and provided DB write permissions for both servers. After providing DB string, db path and round robin DNS name created for IPs of both the VMs. HA was created for succesfully and we are able to install RD connection broker role in second server as well. Users would access the RDS server using NLB virtual IP (10.10.10.75).

However, when we tryCB role failover test by turning off one of the servers abruptly, we dont see the Active RDCB role failed over to second node.


SETUP2:

RDSFARM2:
CHNSH01 (SESSION HOST, LICENSE)
CHNSH02 (SESSION HOST, LICENSE)
CHNCB01 (CONNECTION BROKER, RDWEB)
CHNCB02 (CONNECTION BROKER) implemented through RDCB HA as mentioned in above setup.
CHNSQL01 (SQL SERVER 2012)

Failover is successful incase of turning off of any one of the DB servers.

Please help me understand why terminal server HA fails in case of two node setup.

How to enumerate virtual device which should only appear in that session

$

Hi,

I have a project where it will enumerate virtual USB audio device in windows 7/8,.. I am able to run this in windows server too but this device is appearing as a server resource where all the sessions able to access (if they disable local audio redirection while connecting to remote desktop services in windows server 2008). My question is I want to enumerate my virtual device so that it should only appear for the session/user. No other session/user should access this device.

When I enable local audio redirection and connect to widows server machine it is able to show one audio device ("Remote Audio") and will be available to that user. Once I disconnect the session this audio device also being removed. I need similar behaviour with my virtual audio device.

Please help in this regard.

Hello,

Can we use high availability with two servers.

one server hold All RDS server roles(Licence, Session host, Connection Broker, Gateway).

I referred on Internet for guidance. But most articles have provided details to use two or more server for one RDS role.

It's high cost solution and most of organization consider cost effective solution.

If anyone know best cost effective solution, Please provide that.
