Hi Guys,

I  have a problem with redirection of local client webcam to Session Hosts in  RDS 2019 Farm.

the farm is composed of:

-2 RD Web Access (HA configured)

-2 RD Connection Broker (HA Configured)

-1 RD Gateway and Licensing

-12 RD Session Host

OS: Windows Server 2019 64Bit 1809

I have already performed these steps:

-GPO "Allow audio and video playback redirection" (enabled)

-GPO "Do not allow supported Plug an Play device redirection" (Disabled)

-GPO "Allow RDP redirection of supported RemoteFX USB devices from this computer" (enabled)

-GPO "Enable RemoteFX encoding for RemoteFX client designed for WIndows Server 2008 R2 SP1" (enabled)

-In the Broker Server i have run in powershell --> Set-RDSessionCollectionConfiguration -CollectionName "CollectionNAME" –CustomRdpProperty “usbdevicestoredirect:s:*”

Thank You

Hello colleagues

When we are doing such config (enable multiple sessions per user):

Computer Configuration\ Administrative Templates\ Windows Components\ Remote Desktop Services\ Remote Desktop Session Host\ Connections

Restrict Remote Desktop Services users to a single Remote Desktop Services session     Disabled

We are not able to reconnect to any disconnected session that was running previously.

It seems that it was mentioned here for Inside build, but we have same...

https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Windows-Server-Insiders/Bug-no-reconnect-to-disconnected-session-with/m-p/282056/highlight/false#M829

Any solutions for this problem?

Stuck at "configuring remote session"

$

Hi all,

I cannot establish a RDP connection from two of my devices and I manage with other two.

1. From this device I cannot connect internally, when trying to connect to: 

a. servername - stuck at configuring remote session
b. ipv4 - stuck at configuring remote session
c. ipv6 - it does connect!

This device is running Windows 10 1904

2. From another device I manage to connect in all 3 ways INTERNALLY, but does not connect externally.

This device is running Windows 10 Enterprise

When I ping from this device it replies only with ipv6.

3. Another device is trying to connect externally and it doesn't connect at all, because my port forwarding is configured based on ipv4. So I cannot connect externally at all from any PC.

4. From my mobile phone it does connect from external, which makes me very confused all together..

It seems like when trying to connect via ipv4 it get stuck and some devices choose to connect via ipv4 and some via ipv6....

RDS 2016 License server error TSLS group, plus licenses never show issued, and auditing does not show any licenses issued

$

I have a brand new WORKING license server for 2016 RDS.   By working I mean, I have a 2012 R2 session host that has its trial expired, but when pointed to this server, it allows users to logon. (when it won't logon otherwise)  

The problem is that I need it to audit my license usage, and less of a problem, but I am annoyed by the configuration error (which I suspect is related to my problem) which states it cannot determine the status of the TSLS group.

The issue appears to be some kind of AD communication issue, but I have another server in another subnet (and AD site) which works fine.     This particular site in AWS, but it has local domain controllers, and doing a network trace shows it only connects to them and makes no attempts to go elsewhere.   It also shows LDAP queries for the TS information succeed.     

Again, license server works fine, but it does not show any licenses with the status of "issued" and if I create a report, it has zero linfo in it.  (as if none have ever been checked out)

I build a second 2016 TS license server in AWS, and it exactly replicated the issue..  At this point I can't really think of what might be causing the issue.  

Googling the errors I have found so far has resulted in a few people with similar issues, but none with a solution.  I'm not sure this problem is worth a $500 MS support ticket, but it seems someone out there should have solved this before..  Everything is super generic here..

When connecting to a user via remote desktop Manager if the user is pointed to something I don't see a change in the cursor position. Only visible if the user clicked on something. (the user says that he moves the mouse at me it is in 1 position). Is it possible to see the user's mouse movement?

RDP Web Clients get Black Screen randomly

$

Hi we have a HA env't built for our RDP ENv't

2 RD Connection Brokers

1 Licensing Server

3 RD Web Access Servers

5 RD Session host Servers

2 RD Gateway Servers

we have 3 Collection - Contractors, Employees, Guests

The Env't has been built for a few months the Contractor and Guests is working fine - moderate users maybe 25 on at a time.

The Employee Collection at this time only has about 10 users for Piloting....many of the users at different times of the day get a random black screen and cannot work.

We tried to figure it out, but then gave up and ended up deleting on of the UDP Session Host Servers and redeployed the VM to a different ESXi Host, rebuilt the Session Host and for the past week it has been fine.

I wanted to do a full healthcheck, best practises on the env't as we did not setup this env't - it was built by a consulting firm who no longer is helping.  Any suggestions on how to determine if things are setup right, what could be improved, missing...?

Thanks,

Is there feasible methods to implemented my own protocol with multiuser session?


RDS 2012 RD License Server weird issue

$

I have a 2012 RDS setup working nicely.

i have 50 per user CALS in the licence server, i have separate servers for all the functions of the RDS, the License server is in the correct domain groups, (terminal server licensing group etc)

it was issuing licences perfectly fine up to 27th of April, the count was up to 38, so 12 spare.

but RDS is working fine and i have added more users to the system since, I can see in the log that its issuing cals fine up to yesterday, 12th of may. yet nothing has changed in the licensing manager !!??? it still shows 27th april as the last issued CAL with no new ones since then.

rebooted the server, and even run a report. so i am confused as to whats going on.

Does anyone have any clues whats going on.

Cheers

application permissions not working at all in remote access configuration

$

I trying to explain my setup, i have a fully functioning and working internal RDWEB with published apps, all permissions are working totally fine. (version 2012R2).

Apps only appear when permissions are given etc. call this Domain A

during this current situation with Covid-19 , we want to share the apps to another domain (call it Domain B), which is currently trusted (oneway) we trust the accounts from Domain B.

So we enabled RDWEB in the firewall, and now a few of us who are testing RDS works ok in Domain B, can see all applications that are published even ones i have taken myself off, if i check on our domain A i don't see the apps, but going to rdweb on domain B i see all the apps and can even access them !! its interesting when browsing to RDWEB from domain B it doesn't ask for credentials etc. 

in IIS on the rdweb server Windows authentication is enabled. i don't understand how it can be displaying all the applications and allowing me to access them (when i click excel for example it does ask for my login and opens excel fine but i have removed my self from the app permissions. i am a domain admin on domain A if this has anything to do with it.

any ideas or suggestions would be gratefully received.

many 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.

change computer name in connection

We have an RDS server (WIndows Server 2019) with published applications. When launching the app the connection rdp file contains the actual server name and we would like to have that changed to the server dns fqdn name. How do I change that name on the RDS server so the rdp file reflects the DNS name and not the server name.

Thanks,

Rene

Windows does not remember “select your primary button” setting with Remote Desktop

I have "select your primary button" set to "right". However, when I connect via Remote Desktop, this setting (for that very same user) is set to "left". If I change it back to "right" (while connected via RDC) it works fine...until I disconnect and connect again, and then the setting goes back to "left".

2012r2 SSL Certificate Installed but not being Used

$

Hi,

I deliberately let my SSL certificate expire because I got a new wildcard one. The new certificate is installed in Certificates - Local Computer / Personal / Certificates. "certlm" reports certificate is "OK". It's been there for a while.

Today, my clients started getting certificate warnings. 

I found this "quick fix" link:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3042780/remote-desktop-listener-certificate-configurations-in-windows-server-2

The "quick fix" does not work .. I assume I cannot select it because it's not a "pfx" file but the page doesn't mention this is a requirement. It implies I just need the certificate, which is a .crt file. How do I make it into as "pfx??"

I also tried the manual fix with this "wmic" command but got a Invalid Parameter command which the page says can happen if the certificate is not installed, but IT IS INSTALLED!!!

What undocumented (thanks Microsoft) aspect of this am I missing?

Thanks,

Jeff

Webcam Redirection on Server 2016

$

Hello,

currently we want to use Microsoft Teams on Windows Server 2016 RDSH and try to use webcam (integrated camera) redirection from local clients.

On client side (Windows 10 1903) i checked the webcam in the local devices and ressources.

On server side i set the following gpos:

- Allow audio and video playback redirection: Enabled

- Allow audio recording redirection: Enabled

- Do not allow supported Plug and Play device redirection: Disabled

- Do not allow video capture redirection: Disabled

Also we activated the redirection in the session collection. I noticed that here is no setting equal to the video capture redirection existing.

The integrated webcam is not being redirected to the server. Unfortunately we have not usb camera to test it with usb redirection. 

Is ist possible to get our planned scenario working or is it not possible to redirect the camera into the remote connection? I read that it should be possible with server 2019, but i cannot find any information about server 2016.

I thank you in advance for your answers and ideas.

Kinde regard

Windows Server 2019 - Not able to connect back to the disconnected session

$
0
0

We have issues after deploying the Windows server 2019 not able to connect back to the disconnected session, and every time its connecting with a fresh session which s causing increasing the disconnected sessions count. 

Tried to update the OS which the all the latest updates but still have the same issue. Have tried to applied the solution as given  by MS on one of the article but didn't help.

To work around this issue, you can enable the Configure keep-alive connection interval policy in the Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Connections group policy folder. If you enable this policy, you must enter a keep-alive interval. The keep-alive interval determines how often, in minutes, the server checks the session state.

This issue can also be fixed by reconfiguring your authentication and configuration settings. You can reconfigure these settings at either the server level or by using group policy objects (GPOs). Here's how to reconfigure your settings: Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Security group policy folder.

  1. On the RD Session Host server, open Remote Desktop Session Host Configuration.
  2. Under Connections, right-click the name of the connection, then select Properties.
  3. In the Properties dialog box for the connection, on the General tab, in Security layer, select a security method.
  4. Go to Encryption level and select the level you want. You can select LowClient CompatibleHigh, or FIPS Compliant.


How to Implement Camera / Microphone on RDS?

Looking for some advice: We want to use Webcams and Headsets for about 20 users on our local / on-premise Terminal Server (RDS). Single Session-Host, no Cluster - fairly simple. Right now we are running our Windows-VMs on a recent ESXi-Build (6.7) with decent Hardware, but no GPU.

Just to give you some idea on what kind of Hardware our Hypervisor is running right now:
2x Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6128 CPU @ 3.40GHz / 128 GB RAM / local RAID 10 (SAS 10k)

After some tinkering I managed to use our Webcams and Headsets redirected within the classic RDP-Session. Unfortunately the Performance is quite bad if we use the Webcam and also display the other persons cams in MS Teams for example. CPU usage just skyrocks (even with multiply cores / different cpu-layouts assigned).


So I was wonder is this because we are missing a GPU and the CPU can't handle all the Encoding and stuff for more users in parallel fast enough? If so: What would be the best way to handle this Hard- and Software-wise. I guess RemoteFX with a build-in GPU could help?


Just looking for some directions / possible strategies (inclunding new Hard- or Software) to go here, please advice.

Thanks.
