OS X RDS Client: modal windows issue

September 22, 2014, 6:26 am

We have a specific scenario that is causing us a headache with a modal window in Excel 2013, published via RemoteApp to an OS X client:

  1. Open Workbook.
  2. Click Page Layout.
  3. Expand Page Setup.
  4. Click Header/Footer tab.
  5. Click Custom header.
  6. Choose Center section.
  7. Add an image form Office clipart.
  8. The application locks up.

We killed the session and resumed it from a Windows client, and we could observe the modal Page Setup window which we could clickOK on. The Mac client never shows it, and the experience to an end-user is simply that it locked up.

Any ideas for workarounds?

Remote Desktop Connection 8.1 cannot pin remoteapps to taskbar?

Hi,

I recently applied kb2830477 and related patches to a windows 7 enterprise node. I also updated a Windows 8 pro node to 8.1.  I'm enjoying the speed and other enhancements.  There are still problems, i.e. Outlook 2010 and 2013 toast and sound don't work.

We run RDS remote apps on production 2008 r2 and distribute via .msi files; those pin to the taskbar fine.  Unfortunately the newer remote applications distributed via Control Panel > Remote app and desktop connections won't pin to the taskbar, or at least I can't figure out how.

On Win/7 I used to drag and drop 2012 r2 remote apps from the All programs > Remote app and desktop connections to the taskbar, or alternatively send to desktop, then drag that shortcut to the taskbar.  that doesn't work, I get a red-lined circle when I hover over the taskbar.

On Win/8 I used to display all apps, then right-click and choose Pin to Taskbar; that option is no longer available.

Any thoughts?  These apps still launch from the desktop, puzzled as to why they won't pin to the taskbar for easy access.

Best,

S'

Event ID: 1280 Server 2012 RDS - web app fail on second session host

September 22, 2014, 7:57 am

Hello there

Topography

  • SBS 2011 (domain controller)

Two VM’s:

  • VM1 – All RDS rolls: RD Gateway , Connection broker, Licensing and RD access installed and acting as a session host with an active collection for RD web apps. A CA trusted certificate is installed.
  • VM2 – Session host with a second collection for RD web apps

Problem

I have a single app installed on both session hosts (the apps require their own servers). Both appear on the RDWeb site available for use.  I can run the app hosted on VM1 no problem, but when I try to open the second app hosted on VM2 I get two issues:

  1. An error is returned

“Your computer can’t connect to the remote computer because the Remote Desktop Gateway server address and the certificate subject name do not match. Contact your network administrator for assistance".  

When viewing the certificate, it actually shows the CA cert installed on the SBS server for RWW, not the cert on VM1. This has me puzzled

Secondly on VM 2, I get

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Event ID: 1280 Warning Microsoft Windows TerminalServcies-session broker client
Remote Desktop Services failed to join the Connection Broker on server sever-vm1.local.

Error: Current async message was dropped by async dispatcher, because there is a new message which will override the current one.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When I run the app internally it seems to load but then disappears.

Some further config info if it is relevant:

  • I have port 4043 (443 used) as the only port directed to the gateway

Am I missing something simple? DNS? Port forwarding issue on the router?  Its my first deployment of this nature with RDS 2012

Server 2012R2 - Session Host Collection not failing over when forced outage

September 17, 2014, 7:26 am

Hello,

This is my RDS setup:

CB1 - Broker, Web Service, Gateway (Configured HA with CB2)

CB2 - Broker, Web Service, Gateway (Configured HA with CB1)

SH1 - Session host in collection

SH2 - Session host in collection

SQ1 - SQL server for RDS services

I have been absolutely stumped by this for weeks now.  All servers are in a VMware environment, and when I force crash one of my brokers, the other one instantly takes over, and is doing as expected.  However, if I try and force boot one of my session hosts, users on the the session host that went down cannot reconnect to the other session host.  Other users are not affected.

Eventually the CB's will redirect as they are supposed to, but there is no definitive time, it's usually between 30 minutes to an hour, which is just unacceptable.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

Remove Store Icon after update 2012 R2

Hi There

Since the update 1 for Server 2012 R2 the Store icon has been put on all of the taskbars for every user in our RDS environment. I have been looking into another article that shows the "User configuration\Start Menu and TaskBar\Show Windows Store apps on the taskbar"

I cannot find the policy "Show Windows Store apps on the taskbar"

I recently updated the ADMX files in our central store but this GPO doesn't show as an option. does anyone know which ADMX file it is that controls this or where I can get hold of it?

if anyone can provide me with the name I suppose I can copy it from the local policy definitions folder on the 2012 R2 server?

Kind Regards

testing rdweb. From one computer can access published app when log in with regular logged in user and as admin

From the other when logged in as administrator can access the app with admin and regular user RDWEB credentials.

After multiple trials I decide to ask what it can be. I don't blame my TS, looks like IE in different profiles behave...

RDS2012  - LAN access only by W7 (with symptoms above) IE 8, 10.   From my W8.1 station works fine.

Server 2008 (not R2) TS Web Access - WebApp RDP issue

I've successfully set up several 2k8R2 and 2012 WebApp RDP's previously, but am having some issues with this one. I am using a wildcard SSL. I can log into the TS Web Access portal just fine. The RDP link is supposed to just open up a remote session on the TS server but shortly after entering in my creds (after hitting the remote desktop link) it fails. Internally, the remote desktop works perfectly.

 Any ideas?

We are using RDS 2012 R2 with several hosts.
With a test account logging in, clicking the start button brings up the Apps screen.

However Apps screen only shows Desktop, Internet Explorer, Administrative Tools, computer, Control Panel, Task Manager -- this is after they click the Start button...

HOW to make other Office etc. apps appear on the Apps screen?? and on the Start screen??

Does Group Policy control this, what??

The test account is affected by group policy...which group policy(ies) should be modified to show more available apps??

Thank you, Tom

Hello,

Is it normal that the CSR key continues to populate even if the CSR is disabled (verified with 'Get-Printer -Full |fl')?

BTW winprint is used for all the printers on the print servers, and non-microsoft monitors are deleted.

Hello,

Two 2012R2U1 forest (only one domain - 2008R2 native mode) with a bidirectional trust.

No problem, users and groups from Forest1 are recognized in the Forest2, and the reverse.

On the Forest1, there are remote desktop services who are working fine, with a broker and a gateway (broker and gateway are the same machine).

Within this broker, there are collections.

Within those collections, there a specific permissions to grant access or not to some RemoteApp's.

To configure those permissions, you choose groups.  And there, for an unknown reason, groups from the other forest are refused.

Thank you for your advice

RD Session Broker will not redirect to the Collection Servers.

Host server running 2012 Hyper V with 3 VM's

One RD Broker configured

Two Session Hosts in a collection - not in drain mode.

All are 2012 R2

I can use RDweb and the RD broker will divert me to one of the host servers. I can use the RDP icon and works.

I would rather use the new remote desktop app in windows 8, and use Desktop Sessions (Terminal Services), not VDI or RD web.

I'm hoping that the Broker is in drain mode but the server will not redirect. I am not sure what's going on, I haven't placed the domain users in the remote desktop users on the Broker because I cannot place the Broker into drain mode like I had in the pass with 2008 R2

Doesn't make sense and I have done a heap of searching.

My objective is to use the remote desktop app and log into one of 2 servers with a desktop session.

I believe this is the error I need to get past.

I have placed Broker into the Windows Authorization Access Group

Remote Desktop Connection Broker Client failed to redirect the user domain\user. Error:NULL

Using RDP DVC channels from logon screen

September 23, 2014, 2:14 am
$

Hi,

I have developed a Dynamic Virtual Channel plugin for xfreerdp, the code is working well in "classic" use cases and I am able to use my plugin in Windows applications on the RDP Host (Win7 computer).

However, I am facing issues when the plugin client code (executing on the RDP server) is ran while the RDP session is not authenticated.
This happens when you connect to the RDP server (Windows 7) using legacy "rdp" mode. The graphical logon screen is displayed and my plugin code runs. The issue is that very early in the client code, I have an "Invalid descriptor" error when using WTSVirtualChannelOpenEx.
I am wondering if you are allowed to use DVCs while the user has not yet authenticated himself.

Could anyone confirm this ?

Although using a static virtual channel would provide a workaround, I would rather not use such channels since they are limited.

Regards,
Thomas Calderon

2012 RDS VDI deployment RDP connections fail from outside network

September 23, 2014, 11:14 am

Hello all,

I recently setup a 2012 RDS VDI based deployment on my .local domain. I have provisioned all of the VMs in Hyper-V on the Virtualization Host and I have all other roles for the deployment (Broker, Gateway, Web Access and Licensing) on another server. So my total deployment consists of 2 servers. I originally used a self signed certificate but later changed it to a public issued wildcard certificate and I can access the RD Web Access just fine. I also changed the FQDN from the original .local address during deployment, to an actual public URL which is a A-Name record of our top-level domain. So at the moment, the deployment is using: rds.mycompany.com for access to the Web Access and seems to be operating ok. Note that I also have forwarded all applicable ports from our network firewall/gateway to the broker/gateway/web access server (ports 80,443 and 3389). Also, I have put a zone and an entry into my local DNS server for the FQDN of rds.mycompany.com 

Here is the issue I have - when I log into the Web Access from a computer outside of our internal network I can see the icon for the Virtual Desktop Collection and I can click on it and it begins to load. It appears to be fine and even begins to tell me that it is preparing and loading the VM and then it gets hung up at "Initiating remote connection" and after about 10 to 15 seconds it fails and gives the following error:

“Remote Desktop can’t connect to the remote computer for one of these reasons:

1) Remote access to the server is not enabled
2) The remote computer is turned off
3) The remote computer is not available on the network

Make sure the remote computer is turned on and connected to the network, and that remote access is enabled.”

When I try the exact same procedure from within the internal network, by accessing it from both the internal host name or even the FQDN it works just fine every time. It will say it is preparing and loading the VM and then just zips right through the "initiating remote connection" part and starts the session.

Any ideas?

Thank you,

D. Graf

We have implemented a Server 2012 environment with an RDS role.  We need to purchase two All-In-One printer/scanner/fax devices that will connect to Wyse Thin Clients and must redirect print and scan services to the Server 2012 RDS environment.  I'm not having any luck find Server 2012 compatible AIO devices with full installer packages.   I have try Remote Scan from an older AIO device and it works, except there seems to be weird drver issues with the Windows 7 Embedded OS on the Wyse thin clients.

What is the going recommendation for a make/model of AIO printer that will work in the Server 2012 environment through RDS?

2008R2 Connection Broker internal vs external name and UCC Certificates

September 23, 2014, 4:33 pm

I have a RD Farm, all in 2008R2.  Consisting of Gateway, Connection Broker, multiple Session Hosts.  They belong to an AD Domain, xyz.local.  The machines have AD names, CB.xyx.local, GW.xyz.local, SH1.xyz.local, SH2.xyz.local.

The internal DNS system has a Zone for the External Domain, MyDomain.com.  There are host records for the farm, rdpfarm.mydomain.com pointing to the Internal IP of the farm.

The farm is accessible on the Internet at rdpfarm.mydomain.com via Public DNS.

We have a VeriSign Public UCC Certificate, that has the public MyDomain.com SAN's for the hostnames for all the machines,  CB.MyDomain.com, GW.MyDomain.com, SH1.MyDomain.com, SH2.MyDomain.com, and the farm name is the Common Name rdpfarm.MyDomain.com.  (Note, as of soon, internal Domain names are no longer allowed on UCC Certificates)

I have tried everything I can find to get the Gateway and/or the Connection Broker to answer using the rdpfarm.MyDomain.com name and match the Certificate, without success.

As I recall in Exchange Server we face a similar problem, but there is a method in Exchange to cover this.  If there is one for an RD farm, I cannot find it.

Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

Windows 2012 R2 and I will be using this server as a Session Host server in a farm.

I have tested this out and have found out the error occurs as soon as I join the server to the domain.

Our Domain is at the functional level 2008 because I have one more DC that isn't 2012.

all works well and I can use the server as normal but as soon as I add the server to the domain I then start receiving the message 'windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.

This happens for test user accounts (after RDHS role has been added) that try to use explorer.exe and some other items. It also appears when a domain administrator uses the search function (as soon as added to the domain)  at the start menu and searches for 'windows updates' and then clicks on the search result, error appears. but if you go to the control panel then the function works correctly.

I have couple of users in MYAPPS group that is a part of Collection.

Only me (domain admin) and other domain member user can access the app from RDWEB.

When an other domain admin and an another domain user try to access the app (from different machines) they get:

"Access RemoteApp error: The User Profile Service service failed the sign-in"

RDS is Server 2012 R2 clients W7, W8.

I found all kind of troubleshooting for Vista and W7 non RDS scenario.

What it could be? A bit confusing... one admin Yes another no. The same for regular domain member

1. users can login to RD Web (https:../rdweb) . The published app appears

2. When clicking on the app icon the screen below appears
