RD License Server Not Issing Licenses

Hi there,

I'm using Server 2016 and have built two Remote Desktop Services Servers.  I just was using the temporary grace period license and I was able to see my users through the RD License Manager.

I then added User CAL's to the RD License Server.  I made a mistake and returned these CALs and reborrowed them again from Clearinghouse.  Now the license server shows 60 CALs available and none issued.  It seems that all the users can log in and there are no issues from that end, but I want to be able to keep track of the CALs.  

When I do an export of the report it says no CALs issued.  I tried to:

- Return the licenses
- Disable the RD License Server
- Remove the RD License Role
- Reboot
- Add Role
- Enable RD License Server
- Get license

and I run into the same issue.  I was hoping that I did not have to rebuilt the RDS role but I also don't want to run into the issue where somehow after a period of time (coinciding with the grace period) that this system stops working.

I also tried Local Group Policy to specify the RD LIcense Server and the Per User CAL setting and that still doesn't show the issued CALs changing....

Any ideas??

RDP stuck at "Configuring Remote Session" WS2016

January 31, 2017, 12:45 am

Hi. We have a new WS2016 RDS deployment (VMs on Hyper-V):

 - 2x WS2016 RDGW in NLB

 - 2x RDCB in HA configuration

 - couple RDSH servers

The problem is that in 30-50% of the connection attempts via these gateways, the connection is stuck at the "Configuring remote session" message. The connection is never successfully estabilished when this happens and it is closed without any error couple minutes later. When you try again (or just immediatelly cancel the connection and reconnect), the connection may or may not go through.

When this problem happens, I can see there's single HTTP connection on the RDGW that accepted the connection with 0 bytes transferred in either direction. There are no related errors at this time.

Can anyone help? Btw. this problem also happens when connecting to a different single-host RDS deployment through these gateways.

I suspected the problem might be in the NLB, but removing either of the gateways from the NLB configuration (and from RDS farm) doesn't help, the issue is still there.

Rebooting the gateways helps for a short while (hours), but then the issue is back.

There are some other errors on the gateways, but these don't correlate to the connection attempts (event 210, source terminalservices-gateway: "Http transport: IN channel could not find a corresponding OUT channel" with no other details).

RDP clients are various ... W8.1, W10, Mac...

RDS 2016 Desktop icons flickers / refreshes

h all this is a re-post from spriceworks as I am truly desperate... :*(
https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/1978620-rds-2016-desktop-icons-flickers-refreshes?page=1#entry-6779185

im having a bit of an issue with Server 2016 as RDSH. when user logs in the desktop icons keeps refreshing (the flicker). 
the easiest way to recreate it is to create some text files (10-15) on the desktop then open a windows explorer window (to any folder it doesnt matter) and drag it around to different locations a bit. the flickering occurs when you release the mouse button.

ive downloaded the newest available ISO from MS and the server is fully updated.

the funny thing is that if the user opens folder options and re-applies the folder options settings (without changing anything) - the flickering stops!
unfortunately i could not find a way to trigger this upon user login...

some more info...

* i ruled out roaming profile as a cause - happens with local accounts as well.
* i switched storage to NetApp AFF8040 (AllFlash) to eliminate any network or storage related latency.
* roaming profiles are directly on a share on the NetApp (no DFS)

desktop still refreshing, but the funny thing is, if you open a notepad from the "run" and save your file to the desktop - the file does not appear unless you "trigger" a refresh as described in the first post

so its refreshing and flickering but not when the user saves files on the desk"Apple-converted-space"> 
now how messed up is that :D

fixes that didn't work for me:

files: delete %AppDataDir%\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer upon login (thumbs cache folder)
reg: NoRemoteChangeNotify - didnt work, flicker continues and desktop not refreshing
reg: delete bags (trying to force recreation of folder options)
Reg Delete "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\BagMRU" /F
Reg Delete "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags" /F
Reg Delete "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\Bags" /F
Reg Delete "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\BagMRU" /F
Reg Delete "HKCU\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\BagMRU" /F
Reg Delete "HKCU\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags" /F
Reg Delete "HKCU\Software\Classes\Wow6432Node\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags" /F
Reg Delete "HKCU\Software\Classes\Wow6432Node\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\BagMRU" /F
gpo: user and computer:

App: i ran shexview.exe and disabled all non-MS extensions

pleeeese help, thank you

RDS 2016 - Start Menu freeze

Hi all,

We're currently experiencing issues at a random interval with regards to freezing start menu's on Server 2016 RDS Hosts.
When the freeze happens we can see the following items in the eventlog: Event ID 5973

Seems to be related on a per user base, as multiple users can connect to the RDS server but only a few of them are experiencing issues.

We are using User Profile Disks and Start Menu redirection. Any thoughts?

"Activation of app Microsoft.Windows.Cortana_cw5n1h2txyewy!CortanaUI failed with error: Not enough storage is available to complete this operation. See the Microsoft-Windows-TWinUI/Operational log for additional information."

"Activation of app Microsoft.Windows.Cortana_cw5n1h2txyewy!CortanaUI failed with error: The RPC server is unavailable. See the Microsoft-Windows-TWinUI/Operational log for additional information."

"Activation of app Microsoft.Windows.ShellExperienceHost_cw5n1h2txyewy!App failed with error: The remote procedure call failed. See the Microsoft-Windows-TWinUI/Operational log for additional information."

RDS 2016 HA and SQL

August 3, 2018, 9:59 am

Looking to add HA to an existing RDS 2016 environment for about 50 users. Obviously, for RDS HA, the SQL database becomes a point of failure.

My question has to do with setting up SQL as a cluster as simply as possible, as this is a fairly small RDS environment.  Creating a SQL cluster requires shared storage, so I would like to use SQL 2016 Standard and the SMB shared storage option (avoiding SANs, iSCSI volumes, or even Windows Shared Storage Spaces).  To keep the network as simple as possible, I'd like to have the cluster nodes for SQL also be the SMB file share for the data.

I haven't specifically read that you cannot have a 2 node windows cluster with SQL Standard and an SMB file share installed simultaneously, and the SQL use that SMB share for the databases.  However, I would like confirmation on such a configuration before I spend time on it.

It just seems nutty and a resource overkill, not to mention only adds to the network complexity, to need to create yet another 2 node cluster just for the SMB file share for SQL to use.

Please advise, and thank you in advance.

Windows Server 2012 R2 - lost RD "Installed RDS Per Device CAL" licenses.

August 3, 2018, 11:10 am

Greetings.

I work in an industrial facility, where we have several devices connected via RDS to a VM running Server 2012 R2. 

This Monday (7/30/2018) a technician had to cycle power on one of the devices (a thin client) and when it rebooted it would not reconnect as normal.  This failure stopped production for nearly three shifts - which is pretty significant.

The Event Log entry said "RDP: No valid license available".  I logged on to the server and found that ALL of the licenses in the "Installed RDS Per Device CAL" group were gone - the group was empty - and that all the devices were now showing up in the "Temporary RDS Per Device CAL" group.  All the devices licensing in the temporary group were also expired.

After working with MS clearinghouse folks, I was able to figure out how to deactivate and reactivate the license server - and install new licensing - but I am now obligated to tell my management how we can prevent this from happening again.

So, my problem statement is something like: "At some point in early April (or late March", we 'lost' the retail purchase "Installed RDS Per Device CAL" licenses - and so, all the devices switch to temporary licenses.  When those temporary licenses expired, we were vulnerable to losing connection - should power be cycled on one of the devices.  We did, eventually cycle power on one of the devices - which shut the system down.

So, I am reaching out to Microsoft to help determine why the licenses just "disappeared".

Thank you!!!!

Hello All,

I am suddenly having this issue occur. To preface the pc's are fully updated and this problem did not occur after the last applied updates.

I am on a win 10 pro desktop I use Netgear vpn client to create a vpn tunnel to my office network.

From there I open a rdp connectio to a pc at the office once I log in a security alert message displays on the remote pc desktop. I click OK and continue working but I want to know why this is occurring on every remote pc I log into I am assuming something on my pc has changed because this behavior occurs on all the networks I connect to.

Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.

RDS 2012 R2 IP virtualization - IP-addresses are no longer being recycled

Hi.

We have a problem with our RDS 2012 R2 farm. We are using IP virtualization and we have recently found out that the IP addresses are no longer being recycled i.e. the first user gets IP x.x.x.1, second user gets IP x.x.x.2, first user logs out but the third user gets IP x.x.x.3 even though IP x.x.x.1 is now free. This continues until x.x.x.254 and then the server runs out of IP addresses even though there are only 1 logged on user (and no disconnects). Do you know it there is a fix for this problem?

RDP Farm SAN Certificate

Hello,

I set up an RDP farm with Broker.  We are running server 2008 R2.

I tried to make a SAN cert in our Enterprise CA but every time I adopt the cert for the RDP connection it still says Certificate Mismatch.  It shows the server name on the RDP Cert and not the farm name.

https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/isablog/2011/10/09/how-to-generate-a-certificate-with-subject-alternative-names-san/

This is the article I used.   Has anyone else had this problem before?

Thanks,

It seems that I am unable to connect to a computer on my network with the Remote Desktop App (trusted Windows Store App on my Windows Laptop or from the iOS App store on my iPhone), while I am able to connect successfully to it from Remote Desktop Connection (old Windows app).

The remote computer is joined to Azure AD (Windows 10 Pro, up to date; again, this works from the old Remote Desktop Connection application on Windows).

Can anyone tell me if connection to a machine joined to Azure AD is supported on the Remote Desktop App or if there is something I need to do to configure it properly?

Thanks.

Sometimes get: Remote Desktop Connection can't connect to the remote computer

All

I have a server with Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard. When I try to reach it from another computer over remote desktop connection, I frequently get error "Remote desktop can't connect to the remote computer for one of these reasons..."

The weird thing is that the message does not always pop up.  And if it pops up and I keep retrying instantly, I eventually get through...  Even more weird is that it mostly does not work in the morning...  In the afternoon the connection mostly succeeds at first attempt.

I have no idea about the root case.  It does not matter if I use the computer name or the IP-address.  Same issue turns up on other computers from which I try to connect to that specific server.  The server does respond on PING-command.

Does someone knows the root cause of this issue and a permanent fix?

Sizing guidance for RDCB, RDWeb and RDGateway

Hi all,

             putting together a HA RDS farm design - and im having trouble finding guidance on sizing for RD Connection brokers, RD Web and RD Gateway servers.

I get the for the session hosts, it is very dependant on what is running within the sessions and hence, the lack of hardware sizing guidance.

For the other roles it would be nice to have some sort of general advice - i.e. 1 connection broker per 1000 users, 1 RDGateway per 200 users etc....

Does anyone know if sizing guidance such as this exists? (and I just haven't been able to find it)

Smartcard pass-through fails when using remote desktop gateway

July 27, 2018, 12:14 pm

Some admins in our IT group have been attempting to set-up RDS (incl RDG) on Windows Server 2016. It works in most scenarios:

  1. Password auth to RDS server (with NLA)
  2. Smartcard auth to RDS server (with NLA)
  3. Password auth "passthrough" to a server via RDS (with NLA)

I've also verified smartcard auth to a server directly (not with a remote desktop gateway). For some reason, I'm unable to passthrough my smartcard to a server when using a remote desktop gateway. It simply comes back with "login failed" on the client. The "login failed" message appears as an error during the hop to the gateway server (i.e. it doesn't seem to even try to connect to the destination server).

On the RDG server, there are two error events generated:

  • AUDIT FAILURE, ID 4625, Unknown user name or bad password., NULL SID, SubStatus 0xC0000064
  • AUDIT FAILURE, ID 4625, An Error occured during Logon., NULL SID, Status 0x80090347


I'm not sure why a smartcard would work in one situation but result in Unknown user name or password in another. Any ideas on where to start?

Hello everyone,

I'm looking for some guidance on how to disable SSL 3 and TLS 1.0 on a 2012 R2 box acting as a RD Gateway, Connection Broker & Licensing Server.  I have disabled SSL V2 successfully via IIS Crypto. When I disable SSL V3 though my Remote Apps stop working - specifically the connection to the remote desktop host server fails. I didn't try disabling TLS 1.0 yet, as I haven't conquered SSL3. We are using a 3rd party signed SSL cert.

Any have specific experience doing this?

unable to open attachments in outlook and other office issues on remote desktop

Hello,

We are currently using office 2010 on server 2012 r2 demote desktop

Any time someone tries to open an attachment from inside outlook they get a file corrupted error, but if they are in the office, using outlook and try to open the same attachment it works. This includes administrators on remote desktop

On top of this users are unable to open some files in remote desktop, either excel or word, but when in the office and using their own computer all files open correctly.

We recently moved our remote desktop to a different, more powerful/better server and everything was set up the same in terms of the remote services, but this server does have a couple of additional services running that weren't on the old one.

Any ideas, everything I have found here before has had no affect on this problem.

Thanks
