Best practice in Publishing all in one RDSH/Terminal server roles to the internet for remote workers?

$
0
0

Hi All People,

I have deployed the new Windows Server Terminal Server across 5 of my data centre location to support remote workers.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/remote/remote-desktop-services/rds-deploy-infrastructure

The above is one of the server configurations that is deployed in my internal network and then access via the browser: 
https://RDSH-VM01.domain.com/RDWeb/
https://RDSH-VM02.domain.com/RDWeb/ 
...
up to https://RDSH-VM05.domain.com/RDWeb/


Can anyone please confirm if the above is secure and can be deployed since there is no Best practice documentation to follow?

If not what is the suggested ways to deploy to allow secure remote users to login while minimizing the cost and server deployment?
Thank you in advance.

Updating Expired Passwords on Wyse 3040 ThinOS 8.6_206

$

We have a number of Wyse 3040's running ThinOS 8.6_206.

The users of these devices are reporting that once their password has expired, they are then not able to update the password without resorting to calling the helpdesk for help.

Researching this I found a number of threads that suggested disabling NLA.
Is this my only option? If at all possible I would rather not disable security features to enable this.

I also noted some references to using RD WebAccess to redirect to the password reset website. Though my understanding of this is that it would only work whilst connecting from a full OS with a proper web browser. Am I understanding this correctly?

I will certainly be trying to manage this from the user side as well... But at the same time would like a technical fix if at all possible.

Any insight into this would be greatly appreciated.

Need advice about licensing

I plan to install a server as remote desktop terminal for 5 users (instead of using 1 pc desktop for each user for their remote desktop terminal). I plan to buy HPE ML30G10 and Windows 2019 standard edition. What license do I need for 5 concurrent remote desktop connections? Can I configure the server as workgroup? I'm confused with the many Windows licensing schemes.

RD Connection Broker multiple Collections

$

Hello,

I've got a question about multiple Collections with 1 RD Connection Broker. We've got in our environment 1x Connection Broker (which is also Licensing Server) with 1 collection (called Farm1). This collection has 10x RD Session Hosts and we use Round Robin with an DNS entry farm1 which points to the IP-Adress of the Connection Broker. On the Connection Broker we've set the Reg-Key "DefaultTsvUrl" in HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\TerminalServer\ClusterSettings for the Collection Farm1. This works very well with the load balancing. Without this Reg-Key we had the problem with themporary user profiles (we also use User Profile Discs).

Now we need a second Collection called Farm2 which has 6x RD Session Hosts. I want to provide this Collection via the same RD Connection Broker but because the Reg-Key points to the Collection Farm1 I always connect to the wrong RD Session Hosts. Is it possible to provide multiple Collections with 1 RD Connection Broker and also use Round Robin to avoid themporary profiles and have load balancing for each Collection? Or do I have to create a second RD Connection Broker (1 for each Collection)?

Azure screen on second monitor will not expand using HDMI - DVI cable

Hi all,

Because of the whole corona home office setup for two I have to connect a second monitor to my laptop with an HDMI to DVI cable (the second monitor only has the DVI portal). Now I'm experiencing problems when I want to expand the Azure remote desktop screen on to both monitors. It just will not detect the second screen... With 2 regular HDMI monitors there is no problem and Azure can be expanded on the two monitors. Somehow the HDMI - DVI cable disrupts this workflow.

Anyone here that has a solution to this problem?

Thanks!

Remote Desktop Licensing

Hello All ,

I am facing one problem I am not able to direct a Server in Test forest with License Server in Prod forest.

I am not sure if this is possible or not as I am doing this for the first time. Any information on this will be freatly apppreciated.

Here is the Detailaed explation:

I have a KMS 2016 server where we have installed the RDS CAL (Per user). Whenever I have received request to activate the Remote Desktop Services on any other Server, from GPEDIT -> I give the KMS server name or IP in "Use the Specified Remote Desktop License Server". By doing this the Server will start taking RD licenses from KMS server.

When I am trying to do above steps on a Server in Test forest( network connectivity is exists) it is showing 

The Remote Desktop Session Host server is in Per Device licensing mode and No Redirector Mode, but license server xxxx does not have any installed licenses with the following attributes:
Product version: Windows Server 2016
Licensing mode: Per Device
License type: RDS CALs or VDI Premium Suite licenses

On the License Server I can see the free licenses.

FSLogix and Storage spaces direct

We have a Server 2016 RDS farm and are looking to migrate from UPD's to FSLogix. We are interested in doing Storage spaces direct in a cluster.

What is the best way to do this? If we use two Dell R730 servers to host the storage what roles are needed?

From what I read you would install storage spaces direct on both the servers as well as the clustering role.

Would I setup the two servers in a cluster first then add storage spaces direct to both servers?

Thanks

RemoteApp RDS2019 - splash screens stuck on client

$

Hi!

I am testing RDS 2019 with RemoteApp, and I have problems with startup splash screens. Each splash screen creates a button on the client’s taskbar and does not disappear from desktop and taskbar after the appearance of the main window. For example, I run three RemoteApp and I have three splash screens and three program windows on my desktop. And even if I close these windows, the splash screens will still remain on desktop and cannot be closed. This happens only in RemoteApp and does not occur with a remote desktop mode. I tried to recreate an RDS farm again, but it does not help.

This does not happen with all programs (having splash screen), but with many. At the same time, there were no such problems at RDS 2012R2/2016. 

As RDCB and RDSH used Windows Server 2019 with latest cumulative update (2019-01). As clients used Windows 10 1709/1809 with same update.

How can I force a fixed group of Users to connect alwais to a certain Session Host and another group of Users alwais to another certain Session Host ?

In a Windows Server 2016 RDS Session-based desktop deployment, until now I have one only RD Session Host named RD01.

All RDS roles are managed by this server:
- RD Connection Broker
- RD Session Host
- RD Licensing
- RD Web Access

All User's data are stored in the C:\Users folder located in the RD01 (RD Session Host). It is not a share folder.

Now I need to move some Users on a new RD Session Host named RD02.

My goal is to have some Users that still connect with RDS client to RD01 and some Users that connect to the new RD02.
I can manually move the Users's data from RD01 to RD02 for the migrating Users.

My problem is that I can't understand how can I force a fixed group of Users to connect always to RD01 Session Host only and the rest of Users alwais to RD02 Session Host only.

The old RD01 and the new RD02 Session Hosts have their C:\Users folder, not a share.

Please can someone help me?

Thank you in advance,
Ivano C.

RDP Client disconnect results in files unavailable

$

We have a Windows 2012r2 HyperV Host with 4 x 2012r2 VM's - DC, RDS, Application/storage x 2

Configuration has been in place for a considerable time and was working well until the end of last week. 

Intermittently, 1 - 2 times daily, users receive errors in our ERP application about missing files. On investigation, some files are not accessible from the RDS server (and therefore RDS users). This files are fully accessible from all other servers/LAN clients. The files are located on an application server share and we have been using admin access to the RDS server. The files are showing in the directory listing however any attempt to copy the file(s) results in an error "an unexpected network error occurred". The same file(s) can be accessed/copied etc from all other servers/LAN clients. It is solely the RDS server that cannot access the file(s). 

We have disabled Windows 2012r2 internal firewalls and AV software but so far the only, temporary, resolution is to reboot the RDS server. We can find nothing relevant to this error in the server logs. 

One user has reported that they believe the issue happens after a number of RDS disconnects due to possible intermittent broadband at clients end. However, this has not yet been substantiated. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  

Server 2019 RemoteApp (Terminal Services) and Splash Screens (Hang / Stuck)

$
0
0

Hello all,

 

We have been transitioning some of our remote servers from 2012 R2 or 2016 to 2019 when we recently saw this issue. We have an application that is installed on the server and published as a RemoteApp for the users. When the application launches, there is a Splash Screen that shows the version and information about the app while it is loading. As the Login dialog box for the app is opened, the Splash Screen is closed several seconds before it opens. The problem is that the Splash Screen is stuck on the screen. If the Advanced RemoteFX setting in Group Policy is active, the screen will remain in full and if it is disabled, it will leave a Black Box in the exact location that the Splash Screen had been. 

There is another thread about this in Terminal Services and there are no answers or responses since May (except what I have recently added). This is exactly what we are also seeing. (I cannot post the link as the system will not allow me)

 

Really do not want to have to pay Microsoft for an incident to get an answer as to why this is not working as it does in 2012 R2 and 2016 without any issues. The version of 2019 is Version 1809 Build 17763.652. For the Client PC, this happens with Windows 10 Version 1809 Build 17763.503 and Windows 7 Version 6.1 Build 7601 SP1.

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thank you,

Stephen

WMF logo in header doesn't show up in Remote Desktop session

$

We use WMF files for our logos in the header of our documents. These go back maybe 10 years.

I have a few users that, when they Remote into their office workstations (Dell Precisions, Windows 10 updated, 32GB RAM - decent specs) and they open a Word file (both .doc and .docx) they do not see the WMF logo. They say they can click it like it's there, but it doesn't display and they can't print it to PDF either (and it doesn't display in the print preview dialog either).

I as an admin have logged into their machine under my own account, and I can see the WMF logo in all documents.

I then had the user log into MY computer in the office (same spec and same general office image) and the user STILL cannot see the graphic.

We have compared Remote Desktop settings and they all match. We are using SonicWall's NetExtender for our VPN connection.

Can anyone think of why this might be happening? Could the WMF be tripping a security something or other on a user account and not on an admin account?


2012 RD Gateway Server Sessions Performance

 Is there any way to view individual connection performance (what resources each connection is using) on an RD Gateway server?

I use RD Gateway manger to view active connections but it does not show how much CPU or RAM activity for each connection / session. Is this information available on the server or  through a third party app?

RDP with SSL Certificate Issues

Our server is configured with Secure RDP certificate from an Internal CA.

When we connect to the servers it works flawlessly from the old Remote Desktop application (mstc.exe), but when trying with the New Remote Desktop App (Windows Store) and iOS devices (even though the CA and Subordinate CA were successfully imported as a Profile and granted full trust on the devices, it reports certificate issues before connecting!

from the computers it says: "It might not be safe to connect to this PC: certificate revocation unknown"

from the iOS devices it says: Not Verified"

Both shows the proper certificate (with the correct thumbprint)

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If anyone has a method to do this I would love to hear it?

Thanks

Your computer can't connect to the Remote Desktop Gateway server

I'm experiencing weird failure when trying to connect the remote gateway server.

The server is 2016 version. And all the other clients have no issue. But the clients from one company are weird. If the clients connected to their company network through wifi, there is no problem. But if the clients connected to their company network through wired ethernet, then "Your computer can't connect to the Remote Desktop Gateway server. Contact your network administrator for assistance" pops up. I tried some methods which solved other guys' issue. But not work for me.

I checked the events on the server. The wired login attempts leads to event 4625 and reports a 0xC000035B error. I think their company network may have problem but I should be able to fix it on my server. But I don't know how.

Can anybody help me out?
