certificate mismatch and double password prompts for 2012 RDS

$
0
0

We have a 2012 server with RDWeb, RDGateway, and RDCB roles installed:  rds.domain.LOCAL

We then have another 2012 server that is a RDSH: rd1.domain.LOCAL

The gateway server has a wildcard cert installed for *.domain.COM and I have installed RDCB HA and set the HA name to rd.tvotech.COM which is the same hostname being externally used by clients to connect to RDweb/RDGateway.

So now if I log in from a Windows 8 machine, or from my Surface RT, it is seamless and opens without issue...

But if I log in from a Windows 7 machine, after clicking Connect I get prompted to authenticate again (despite having already authenticated via RDWeb) and then I get a warning popup letting me know that there is a certificate mismatch and the computer name is rd1.domain.LOCAL...  Why is the name of the actual RDSH server getting shown to the client at all, shouldn't that be hidden?

Going to test from an XP machine and a Mac now, but any ideas on why the Win7 box can't seamlessly connect would be great...

Thanks!

Hi, I just build a Windows 2012 Standard with Hyper-V role.  I then Install Windows 2012 Standard in one VM on that server.  Inside my VM, I'm trying to install a Remote Desktop Services.  I choosed the Standard Deployment method in the Wizard. I install all roles on that VM.  When it's installing, it successfully installed RD Connection Broker, RD Web Access, but it always fail on RD Session Host Role service !!  I tried rebooting to reinstall that role, but it always fail with the same error message.  I can't find much about that error on Google!

Here is the error details :

Unable to install RD Session Host role service on server SERVER-TS.prod.local.  Cannot bind argument to parameter 'RDSHServers'  because it is an empty array.

I have no clue why it's not working !  That server is brand new, I did only install a MUI Language pack on it and all Windows Update.

Any help would be really appreciate !


Downloads interrupted when RDP disconnects on Windows 2008 R2 x64

$

0

When we connect to certain Windows 2008 R2 x64 servers in a remote location over RDP, then begin downloading a large file in any application (for example IE9, but it's the same in other applications too) and disconnect the RDP session by closing the RDP client, the download is interrupted and reported as failed when we reconnect/resume the RDP session.

There are no network connectivity issues, the RDP session was not ended and this issue can be reproduced every single time. This issue doesn't occur over RDP to Windows 2003 servers or Windows 2008 R2 x64 servers on our LAN.

WMI repository not updated with new configuration unless rebooted

$

Hi,

Running Windows 2012 Standard Edition, trying to steer the RDP-Tcp (protocol) to only listen to one specific adapter instead of the default "all network adapters" using a script. The problem is that I cannot get the code to become instantly updated, rather I need to reboot to make it work which is not my cup of tea. Once I reboot everything is working, but I dont wanna boot.... code example follows below; (written in PowerShell)

#Connect to the WMI TS repository:

$objWmiTerminalServices = (Get-WmiObject -Namespace "root\Cimv2\TerminalServices" -query "SELECT * FROM Win32_TSNetworkAdapterSetting"  | Where {$_.TerminalName -eq 'RDP-Tcp'})

$result = $objWmiTerminalServices.SelectNetworkAdapterIP("10.63.240.24") #<-- The IP / Adapter I want RDP to listen to....

$result.ReturnValue #<-- Returns 0, meaning IP was valid according to MSDN documentation....

#Reconnect to object to verify that config was accepted...

$objWmiTerminalServices = (Get-WmiObject -Namespace "root\Cimv2\TerminalServices" -query "SELECT * FROM Win32_TSNetworkAdapterSetting"  | Where {$_.TerminalName -eq 'RDP-Tcp'})

$objWmiTerminalServices.NetworkAdapterName #<-- First time, going from the default configuration of all network adapters, this works, but not back and forth...

#Lets revert back to all network adapters beeing bound to RDP

$objWmiTerminalServices.SelectAllNetworkAdapters()

As soon as I reboot, connect to the WMI TS repository again, the configuration has been updated. Tried only restarting the service but with no success... any clues? Also tried making the configuration stick using the following code once I have changed the RDP to be bound a specific adapter, see below;

$objWmiTerminalServices = (Get-WmiObject -Namespace "root\Cimv2\TerminalServices" -query "SELECT * FROM Win32_TSNetworkAdapterSetting"  | Where {$_.TerminalName -eq 'RDP-Tcp'})

$objWmiTerminalServices.SelectNetworkAdapterIP("10.63.240.24")

$objWmiTerminalServices.psbase.put()

Any clues on how to make the configuration sticky directly without reboot, and how to broadcast the change to all parts of the OS directly? Take care dudes...

Hi,

After updating licenses, unable to manage 2012 server foundations remote desktop. Remote desktop management service will not start.

 

Have tried http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winserverTS/thread/bbf47aa2-8ae5-4f22-9827-afee5a11417a -
1) Connect to \\.\pipe\MICROSOFT##WID\tsql\query using SQL Management Studio.
2) Under Security\Logins, add a new login.
    On the General page:
    Login name: NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE
    Default database: RDCms
    On the User Mapping page:
    Check RDCms, select the entry and check db_owner.
    That's it. All services should start fine now.


But when connecting to the WID database the listed database RDCms is not shown.
Unable to uninstall the remote Desktop services feature as well.

 

Thanks,

Luis A.

Why session was disconnected?

$

Is there any way to find in server's logs why session was disconencted? I found in TerminalServices-LocalSessionManager event log entries with event ID 24. But they only inform that session was disconnected. But was it because of network failure, server error or the session was simply disconnected by user?

TS Web Access issue! I cannot access server 2008 from new Windows 8 operating system

Hi There,

I have a windows small business 2008 server. the all other computers can access it remotely through the browser or from remote desktop connection app. But whenever I try to connect the server from Windows 8 it tells me that  'your computer cant connect to the remote computer because the remote desktop gateway server's certificate has expired or has been revoked'

I have checked all the certificates and everything seems fine. Apart from this windows 8 , all other windows 7 machines can connect to the servcer..  When I try to connect through IE 10 browser this time the error says to use this service your rdp need to be 6.0 or over. as far as I know is that windows 8 has rdp 7 or rdp 8.

RemoteApp, Printer Properties Opens Behind Redirect Message.

$

I have recently started having a problem with redirected printers when using RemoteApps on Server 2008 R2 (SP1).  From any RemoteApp (Office 2003 for example) when you click File>Print and then select "Properties" the dialog box is opening behind the Server window telling you the printer has been redirected by RDC.  You can see the "Printer Preferences" dialog box behind and then need to select it to bring it to the front.

Applying RDP8 to the client PC's (Win7x64) does resolve the issue but causes issues currently with our in house apps.  Is there another way to fix or work around this problem?

Thanks in advance.

Server i'm trying to connect to

Windows Server 2003 Standrad x64 with SP2 and most if not all updates

 

PCs in use ar Windows XP (remote desktop GUI and add /admin or /console) and Win7 (same methods but also run from the run command and from the command line with /v:<server> /F -console

 

I cannot EVER get a console session and have to go into the server room to install applications

 

I should add - the server is in terminal services mode to allow multiple users to connect and i have checked group policy for restrictions and cannot find any.

Windows 8, when RD to a member server 2008R2 printers are not redirected

$
0
0

The only device redirected is the Fax.

Windows Updated on this Windows 8 has been fully updated to date; including .Net Framework 3.5 and 4.5

The physical printer installed on this client Windows 8 is HP Color LaserJet CP2020 Series PCL6, which can be found on both OS, without drivers from disk or manufacturer.

Now, the EasyPrint on the server has been disabled, yet problem still exists.

Event ID: 1111

Driver HP Color LaserJet CP202X PCL6 Class Driver required for printer HP Color LaserJet CP202X PCL6 Class Driver is unknown. Contact the administrator to install the driver before you log in again.

Tried RD to other Servers R2, SBS 2011, same problem.

Windows 7 has no problem to the same 2008R2.

I tried another Window 8 from another location to RD to another 2000R2, yet same problem - no printers are redirected, only fax is redirected.

I would conclude Windows 8 has this problem in general.

Any help to this would be greatly appreciated.

XP users can't "minimize" application

Hi all,

I have Windows Server 2012 with Remote Desktop Services. When XP users minimize some applications, they "hangs". Actually, application does minimize, but Windows XP doesn't redraw the space the RemoteApp used. It does work if the user minimize/maximize pressing the RemoteApp icon in the Taskbar.

Windows 2012 RDS Collection FQDN and public wildcard Certificate SSL

$

Hi there !

I am working on setting up an entire 2012 RDS system, with TMG Server as reverse proxy in back Firewall mode, 2 RDG, 2 Brokers HA attached to a 2012 SQL server holding the DB, and of course, collections with multiple RDSH servers. After some headaches, everything is working ok and I am about to be done.

I just have a little (last) issue with certificates. I have been able to handle most of them with the 2012 RDS cert manager through topologie builder but the problem is on the end of the chain, on the RDSH.

We bought a public domain wildcard cert *.externaldomain.com and applied it to RDGs and Brokers. Then I also applied it on RDSH servers, and I am having "Code: 0x607" issues from RDC8/Windows8 or simply still a mismatch prompt from older RDC, telling that I am trying to access RDS1.internaldomain.lan and the cert applied to the RDP-TCP connector (using powershell or WMI commands just fine) is *.externaldomain.com and of course, doesn't match.

I am 99% sure that changing the FQDN collection to farm1.externaldomain.com would fix the problem. On 2008 R2 it is something you can do pretty easy from the RDS properties of each RDSH servers, but not on 2012 anymore.

Is there a way to change the FQDN of a collection to be used by remoteApps? Do you think it is something 2012 R2 will bring ?
If no, is the only way to proceed is to buy a *.internaldomain.lan wildcard cert?

Note that when using a Full desktop connection with RDC (through the Gateway), with farm1.externaldomain.com as host, it works just fine and the certificate is approved. (I also managed externaldomain.com domain on my internal DNS serveur to resolv internal IPs)

I would really appreciate your advises on that one !

Thanks !

David




Prevent Certificate Export

When Connecting to a RD gateway the client checks the server certificate. If the certificate is not trusted the client cannot connect, but he can install the server certificate in his local store and the he will be able to connect.

Is there a way to prevent clients from installing certificates this way?

RD Gateway
RD Licensing
RD Web Access

TS-01

My question is if I install the RD Virtualization Host Role to CORE-01 will it remove my current configuration and will I be able to use the Virtualization Base topology and the Session Base Topology together ?

RDP Client is dropping connection

$

So I have a customer who is works from home. His work computer is Windows 8 Pro x64 and his home computer is Windows 7 Pro x64. He uses a VPN tunnel through a Sonicwall firewall to connect to his work computer and then uses the Windows Remote Desktop client to connect from there. He is having a problem where his connection to his work computer is dropping every few minutes. I have set up a packet monitor on the Sonicwall device and watched it for about 35 minutes with no dropped packets, so I am fairly certain that the problem is not there. Besides that I have updated everything on both machines that may be causing the problem. I have disabled the windows firewall on both machines and I still cant figure out what is causing the problem. I have also not been able to reproduce the problem from either of his machines. Any ideas as to what could be causing the dropped connection?

RDP Issues

Hi There all,I;ve been having a problem with RDP on a Windows 2012 Server. RDP worked when I first installed the OS and then after I installed all of the patches it stopped working. I have another server that exhibited the same issues, although once I promoted it to a domain controller, the problem went away, Unfortunately I can't have this other server running as a dc so I wondering if anyone else has run into this issue...I'm not using the full blown remote desktop services or terminal services...I just wanted to be able to rdp into the server for administration purposes.

Installing terminal server licenses questions

$

0

I have purchased say 100 terminal server licenses recently.

It asks me what I want to install them as.   

Say I have already have a 2003 and a 2008 r2 terminal/rds server.  I could possibly have a 2012 ts/rds server in the future.

What do I want to install the 100 terminal server licenses as?   Can I install them all as 2012 and the older servers will still use them?  Or do I need to break them up, for example, with 20 for 2003 and 80 for 2008 r2?    Then when I go 2012, I need to call and have them revoked so I can change them to 2012?

Thanks for the info.


Server 2012 - RDP okay with Administrator member but not with Remote Desktop member

$

Users cannot connect to a Windows Server 2012 domain controller if they are a member of Domain Users and Remote Desktop Users, but if you add Administrator, connection is fine....

When trying to log in, I receive the message - To sign in remotely, you need the right to sign in through Remote Desktop Services... etc.

I have checked and there are no group policies set to stop users accessing via RDP.

I have removed RDP on server and re-added it but still no luck.... 

Any hints on how to fix it?

I ran into this on a 2003 Server as well and was never able to resolve it either.....

RemoteApps do not load all of the elements when launched

$

We have one user within our organization that whenever he launches an Application through RDWeb it loads without most of the graphical elements. This just started happening this morning, and it also happens on each user logging in on his computer. If he uses Remote Desktop, the application loads fine. I included a screenshot of PDK, but this happens with Excel, Dynamics GP 10 and Outlook also (every Remote App Program actually)

Any ideas as to what could be causing this?
