Speed Up initial RDP connection to Windows Server 2012 R2 Gateway

Hello

I am having many problems of slowness when trying to initialize RemoteApps from RDWeb on Windows Server 2012 R2 Gateway more precisely two minutes.

I performed the following technical procedures:

- Try uncheck Bypass the RD gateway for local addresses (If I checked this option I can open a RemoteApp through the VPN or LAN time in 10 seconds).

-Computer Config > Windows Settings > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Remote Desktop Services > Remote Desktop Session Host > Connections > Select RDP transport protocol = Use only TCP

-Turning off UDP on the client

- Try RDP security layer and encryption level as low

- Try to close the connection on RDP Default Port 3389 on Windows Firewall and Fortigate Firewall to force Clients to use 443

- Disabling UAC on all servers (oddly enough this seemed to increase the login time

- Disabling client device redirection;

- Set the value name on registry to DisableTaskOffload and the value data to 1

But I'm not getting any positive results.

My RDS System is divided by 3 Servers (if i have all roles into one Server i do not have any slowly issues):

1 Windows Server 2012 R2 with roles/applications:

  • RD Gateway;

  • RD Broker;

  • RD Web Access  ;

  • RD Licensing;

  • Active Directory;

  • DNS Server;

  • SQL Instance (default instance for RD Broker);

  • IIS;

2 Windows Server 2012 R2 with roles:

  • RD Session Host;

  • All client aplications;

I need to speed up my initial connection can anyone help me?!

Thank you

Windows Server 2012 RD Gateway not working externaly

June 16, 2015, 2:43 pm

Hello,

I deployed the Remote desktop services for windows 2012 R2 in my internal domain (mydomain. Local) and I installed all roles in 1 server for testing. I assigned a public IP address and bind it to our company external address (TS.Mycompany.com).I used the wild card certificate for all the services which is issued for (*.mycompany.com). In RD gateway section I put the external address as the RD gateway address.

So everything is in its place and I can go to the website and open up a remote published app. But it works internally, for external access I opened the TCP:443 and UDP:3391 in firewall and I used the NAT rule to redirect all the traffic through that public IP address to internal servers.

Still no go and nothing are happening in gateway side.

FYI: I set the RDCAP and RDRAP and I am using the same CERT for gateway as well. I didn't change anything for NPS server and I am using local NPS server, but I authorized it in AD.

Please help me out in this issue.

Thanks

Server 2012 R2 - RDS HA Broker - Events 2050, 32776

June 16, 2015, 9:10 pm

I'm having a problem enabling the HA function in Server 2012 R2 RDS.

Error:

The Remote Desktop Connection Broker server could not install the database named RDSBroker by using the connection string:
DRIVER=SQL Server Native Client 11.0;SERVER=BCS12;Trusted_Connection=Yes;APP=Remote Desktop Services Connection Broker;DATABASE=master.
The database name in the connection string is shown as [master] because in order to create a new database with admin specified name, a connection must be made to master database.

Error: Database is offline.

I have tested using a DSN from odbcad32 both 32 and 64 bit items. Tests for connectivity are successful.
TCP/IP is enabled for the default instance.
I have completely disabled the firewall.
I appear to have the correct permissions for my security group for RDS Brokers in SSMS, my group has the appropriate computer added as broker.
Instance is running and has been restarted since most recent changes
SQL Native Client is installed.
I have reinstalled the RDS Session Collection roles
I have tried SQL Express 2012, 2012 SP2, and 2014 (modifying the connector to the corresponding native client)
I have hosted the DB on the local server (broker), as well as another server.

I have previously set up RDS 2012 R2 Broker HA successfully using either SQL Express or SQL Standard, using either default instances or named instances.

Two out of Seven of my RDS collections will not enable Broker HA.

I have set up a new session collection from scratch in a test environment successfully, since trying to get this other one going. It works just fine.

A SEPARATE POINT (perhaps linked to the root cause of this problem)

Both of these collections appear to have problems initializing the actual RDP session when the Broker is not in HA mode. Connection from some locations will hang at "Initializing remote session" after successfully authenticating and directing to the correct Session Host.
Eventlogs support successful connection to the Broker and Successful assignment to the Session Host, but the Remote Desktop never loads. ON OTHER PCs, it loads fine. I have some vendors and remote users complain of getting stuck at the initializing stage, and I have experienced it myself at my work PC. Using my home PC, I am able to connect without issue.

I can't draw a definitive connection, but this problem is ONLY occurring on the session collections that I cannot convert to HA.

I see very few reports of this online (and very little assistance), which leads me to think it may be some configuration issue, but I simply cannot figure out what has gone missing.

Guys, Gals,

I have a Terminal Server 2012 service running, and I would like the default location of authenticated users to change from C: to say E: drive in our server. Right now when users connect, their Home Folders are assigned at C:, I would like all their data to be stored in a bigger partition E:

I know that I have to do it thru the DC server, but I can't seem to find the right Policy location.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

RDP failed logons not showing as 4625 Type 10

Hey Everyone, 

Does anyone know why failing an RDP logon on my servers would generate a 4625 Type 3 (Network) instead of Type 10? Doesn't seem to matter why...even if I mistype a password with a valid account...or try an account that doesn't exist. Happens on 2008 and 2008 R2 for sure but havent tried anywhere else. If I log in successfully its a 4624 Type 10. I need to distinguish if someone failed via RDP for security purposes.  

Starting to think 4625 type 10 doesn't exist, only 4624 has it as a type.

Thanks!

Good Afternoon All,

Session Hosts - Server 2012 R2 STD

I am currently experiencing an issues where all pop up windows that are launched from within a remote application is opened in the background instead of the foreground causing users to believe that the pop up has not opened for the application is not responding.

After some digging I found this to be a known issue with a hotfix available to resolve the issue. I downloaded the hotfix KB2964832, however, the update states that it is not applicable for this server. I verified that the prerequisite update 2919355 is installed.

Any Ideas?

Remote Gateway Message prompting twice & slow

Hello,

I'm having and issue similar to the question below that seems to be unanswered.

https://social.technet.microsoft.com/forums/windowsserver/en-US/2d611dad-163a-42ae-8238-60442d5dcae2/rd-gateway-message-appearing-twice-for-users

I have everything setup for SSO, and works great internally with no prompts. externally I get a username/password prompt that i fill out and then accept the login message. It then sits there for a minute then the login message comes back up. I accept again and then it connects within 5-10 seconds.

I am using RemoteApp with 2012 R2. Two Brokers, Two RDGs, TWO RDSH. I have followed the guides and tried different certs without any luck. I have tried disabling one RDG at a time with the NLB manager and still have the same issue. I've checked the event logs without much luck.

The machine i am testing with is domain joined and windows 7.

Any help is appreciated.

New email alert in Background when running Outlook 2010 as a RemoteApp from 2012 R2 Session Host

We have setup a new 2012 R2 Session Host farm and have provisioned Office 2010 as RemoteApps.

All works fine but we've just been notified by a user that their New Email Alert isn't working. On further investigation we found that the alert is there but always in the background. We've searched many threads and found several articles from MS, one of which suggested that a Hotfix for the client fixes the problem......but it didn't.

Has anyone been able to resolve this problem?

Cheers for now

Cannot connect to Windows 7 VDI desktops via gateway - but Windows 8 VDI desktops work fine

Hi

Got an odd problem.

I have

1 x 2012 Hyper-v host

1 x 2012 Connection Broker/Web gateway

1 x pool of win8 guests

1 x pool of win7 guests

I have implemented trusted 3rd party certificate on the gateway and rdweb.

I can connect to the web interface remotely fine, and connect to the windows 8 pool fine. Icannot connect to the windows 7 pool it just hangs saying "initiating remote connection" (after it has said things like loading virtual machine etc.)

This is displayed after i receive a warning prompt for the certificate for "win7pc1.ad.mydomain.com" - so it is certainly close to working. I donot get prompted for a similar certificate like that when I connect to the Windows 8 clients.

I can however connect to the Windows 7 pool internally fine.

As it works for Windows8 machines I believe the gateway is correctly configured, i believe it must be something to do with the Windows 7 template I have used. Are there any logs I can look at or any configuration required on the original template to allow a remote connection?

Thanks

Dave

I have several users who are experiencing stuck CTRL and ALT keys in their remote sessions after unlocking their local workstations.

All affected users are on HP ProBook 4530/4540 running Win 7 SP1 and RDP 8.

They are connecting to a Server 2012 RDS session host server using the "RemoteApp and Desktop Connections" Wizard. Updates have been applied fully to each workstation and none are using external keyboards of any kind.

I have found KB articles that applied to Vista/2008 but nothing for Winows 7 or Server 2012

Thank you for any assistance.

Hi,

Windows 2012 lacks GUI for managing multiple users: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/a4f240b9-11cd-48fe-9730-ed7cc831c22d/remote-desktop-services-pane-select-multiple-users?forum=winserverTS

Is there some tooling to work around this? Tried f.e. the  Send-RDUserMessage but that didnt work out fine.

Please advise.

2012 RDS Receiving second prompt for password when launching Remote Desktop through RDWeb

June 17, 2015, 9:10 am

I am stumped and need some assistance. 

I have a simple 2012 R2 RDS server set up for remote access. The server holds all RDS roles. The server is configured the same way I had configured another server in the thread TP helped me with:

https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/8c40726d-9dd7-4e4d-ac53-e5634251db6b/server-2012-rdweb-internal-external-domain-name-mismatch?forum=winserverTS#97095157-fc40-4ec1-b8b4-a1793bfe2063

The client who access this server originally wanted to use RDP client, NOT RDWeb. So, they have been using RDP through the gateway. They requested to be prompted for credentials each time they connect. We had a technician try multiple settings to force them to be prompted a while back. Now, I have set up RDWeb, I do not want them using RDP client anymore. The problem is, SSO is broken. 

When a user logs in to RDWeb, they are presented with the Remote Desktop icon, and when they click they are prompted for credentials again.

This only happens through RDWeb. If I try to connect through RD Gateway via RDP client, I do not get prompted again. 

I have tried deleting and creating a new collection, still the same issue. I think there may be a local security policy in place, or a registry setting forcing this, but the fact that it only happens through RDWeb perplexes me.

Windows Server 2012: RDS Deployment

June 17, 2015, 12:05 pm

Good afternoon everyone,

I'm having a bit of an issue in making this RDS deployment of two Virtual Desktops work.

Conditions:

Using a copy of Server 2012 running RDS, Hyper-V, an account with Domain Control; create a pool of two Test Virtual Desktops on a local domain

Issues:

Yesterday it was all working up until the point of actually getting into the Virtual Desktops. It was as follows.

The two desktops running copies of syspreped windows 7 were added into hyper-v, enabled in the managed pool, and added to the RDWeb page. When clicking on them and after signing in, it would only display the desktop of the server they were running on (windows 2012) and not the windows 7 machines.

FYI: I had settings enabled to skip the RDGateway on local networks enabled. As when I tried to use the RDGateway all I received was the server was unavailable.

Has anyone else encountered this? Now that I'm typing it, it occurs to me would I have to set up the masterimage of the desktops to allow remote desktop connection before creating a pool from it? Or am I dealing with a bigger issue.

The second issue happened today: I cannot Remote into the server at all and keep getting the "destination computer cannot be reached" message. Which makes no sense to me since no settings were changed on the server last night.

I've already attempted ipconfig /flushdns, I've switched the IP from dynamic to static to dynamic again, I've attempted to RD into the server through its ip as well as computer name and nothing. The connections just keep getting refused.

Any insight to this would be very appreciated, thank you for your time

Greetings to the well of knowledge...

I recently ran out of RDP Device CALS so I purchased and installed ten additional RDP Device CALs to my licensing server.  However new or expired devices are not getting licenses.  My RD Licensing Server shows I have 10 available device CALs, yet I am receiving Event ID 21 messages indicating that there are no licenses available.  Why would this be happening?

Remoteapp security issue

May 28, 2015, 1:06 am

Win 2012 R2 remote desktop services; we would like to deploy remoteapp with security in mind.

I published a couple of remoteapp, including Excel. I gave permissions and all stuff to restrict users following "least privilege" vision.

Opened Excel from Win7 client. Turns out that when saving a file from excel, if I write "cmd" into the name file textbox, command line opens. The same if I write "Control Panel" or notepad or .. whatever I want.

I wonder what's the purpose of publishing remoteapp and fine tuning permissions when you can use every application installed on  session host.

Also, there isn't a way to hide local disks, network discovery pc, deny logon to remote desktop on session host.... and so on.

How can I manage all of the above with a bit of security in mind ? I understand that I will have to "fix" these issues with a combined set of tricks (logoff.exe as custom shell, hiding disks with registry, probably applocker integration ... ) .. but what if I (and I will of course) forget something ?

Thanks for all your suggestions.
