SSO for RDWeb Hyper-V 2012 R2 and Windows 7 VMs from ThinPC Win7

October 7, 2015, 5:05 pm

Hi,
 I have been having issue with SSO for RDweb app. Using Hyper-V Server 2012 with VMs (Pooled and Personal) Win7 64bit. Remote Client has ThinPC Windows 7 with RDP 8.1.
 Ideally once user logs into ThinPC , IE opens up to rdweb link. Under RemoteApp and Desktop, there are 2 icons that said Pooled VM and Personal VM. A user clicks on Personal and it should automatically rdp to the Win7 64bit VM without any credentials.
 Everything works, until it gets to the Win7 64bit VM, user must enter their password which I do not want. It should use the Windows Authentication password when she logs in first time for ThinPC (domain joined).
 I have tried everything, Delegation Credentials, IE Trusted Site  Termsrv/*domain.com. But once user clicks on the Personal or Pool VM, it gets to the VM and ask for password.
 Please advise. Do you do support?
Thanks

One user cannot login to RDP via RDS gateway

Strange problem and I can't seem to find the source.

I have configured a single server for RDS windows 2012 R2.

I've tested with 4 users who all are seamingly the same. 

All users ran RDP directly to the server locally.

One of those same users cannot RDP remotely through the RDS gateway.   It attempts to connect and says "remote desktop cannot connect to the remote computer "computername" for one of the folowing reasons

1) Not in RD gateway permissions

2) Using netbios format.

I"m using FQDN, I've actually saved the RDP connection to my computer for testing and the only thing I'm chaning is the user's name.  The user is a member of a user group who can log into the RDS.  I can even log into RDS web site with the user and see the applicatoins.  I'm stumped.  I'm sure it's somthing obvious that I'm missing.

Users see wrong time on terminal server

Hello, at a client some (8 of 20) users (in one office in the Netherlands) see a wrong time in their terminal session. (Windows 2012 R2)  The time is off by one hour.

When they open the Date / Time Screen (from the taskbar) and close it again the time is changed to the correct time.
Their local machines (thin clients) all run on the correct time, they all use the same time zone as all other users in their office.
This client has Offices in two different time zones, Europe (UTC +01:00) and in USA (GMT -4).  Does anyone have an idea what causes this and offcourse, how to solve this? :-)

Issue: When we change IIS application pool from "Applicationpoolidentity" to Custom Domain Identity, we will not able to view any application we published through the Remote desktop service. It has viewing folder empty.

Please suggest me if we set custom identity what are the steps we need to do to view our published application on Remote desktop service.

Problems running IE8 as remote app on Win2008 R2

Hi,

 My company uses an app that was written for us and only works correctly using an older java client in IE8. Obviously we don't want to keep running IE8 on all our client computers so I set up IE8 as a remote app on a fast win 2008R2 server. The app works correctly but the performance is terrible. I've tried running it just on a remote desktop session and get the exact same performance which doesn't even manage to keep up with a much older Win 2003 terminal server that we use to access it on newer windows 7and 8 clients already. I need to retire the older 2003 box, but at the moment the 2008 box doesn't come close to the same performance even though it is much newer hardware (new CPU, more RAM, SSD RAID etc) and connected into the same network switch. There is nothing else running on the 2008 box so I'm baffled as to why it runs it so much slower. Everything else on the new server goes like lightning...

 I've tried going through the best practices and searching the forums, but I'm not finding anything helpful. Any ideas?

 Many thanks,

  MB

Problems with RDS 2012 R2

October 13, 2015, 1:36 am

This is not a question, but if anyone has found a permanent, working fix for any of the issues - i'll be very much glad to receive them. I write this out of frustration that has been built up since late summer last year, when we started implementing RDS servers on 2012 R2 for some of our largest customers.

I myself have been in contact with Microsoft several times with some of the issues, while with others i have turned to the forums. But the answer i always eventually come up with is that 'the problem is a bug and is being worked on'. Well, these problems have been worked on for quite some time now, without any result. I see people on the forums sharing the same frustration as i am, frustration over Microsoft's seemingly being unable to fix this, or perhaps they just don't care? And everytime you ask on the forums, some Microsoft-dude (for the lack of a better word) appear with links to technet as a fix, but the link only leads to more links..which eventually leads to nothing.

Shared printers and GPP
This is our biggest problem, on pretty much every customer we have that are running 2012 R2 RDS servers. The problem with redirected printers that are deployed with GPP.

Symptoms are as following: Default printer is not set and/or not saved. Printers are deployed multiple times, until the user some times have the same printer installed 5,6,7 times. Printers disappearing and reappearing at random times. GPP is unable to remove the printer from a user, once it is deployed. The list goes on.

This is a case that i have been in contact with Microsoft several times for. And i have tried every workaround in the 'book', provided by both Microsoft technicians and the forums - but nothing that has proven stable. So printers are still shi**, users are shi**-mad at us and we are shi**-mad at Microsoft.

Black screen
A random problem, that appears from time to time without any logic (so it seems at least). Users try to log on a server with RDP, and the window is just black. If you force logoff the user and have them try again, the same problem is usally still in effect. The only workaround i have at the moment, is to disable bitmap caching RDP for the user and (if an RDS farm) disable logont to he RDSH the user was last logged on to, thus redirecting them to another RDSH.

It works, but it is not acceptable as a solution. That ctrl+alt+end thing that has been flying around on the forums here has not worked on any user i have tried it on either. Not that it is an acceptable solution.

Server Manager
Although better than 2012, it is still sh** for managing users that are logged on to a RDS collection. Why the heck would you take away the possibility to see the individual user's processes? It is not 'live' either, you have to refresh every time to be sure that what you are seeing is actually true. And not to forget if you have the various RDS roles spread across other servers, and the need of have them all added in the manager you want to manage the collection from. 

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

In addition to the things above i find that there is huge lack of functions you should be able to manage through GPO, but that just is not there. Simple things like removing information that the user do not care about, and should not see when logged on.

To be frank, i think Microsoft has released an unfinished product. And in their obsessive minds on 'making everything easier', they have removed a lot of functions that we as admins needed and found usefull. 

I apologize for the rant.

RDS 2012 R2 Connection Broker High Mem

Hi All

I have an RDS 2012 R2 environment with 8 session hosts, 1 Connection broker and 1 web/gateway. I noticed that the connection broker memory usage was high so increased it to 12GB. It remains high sitting at around 90% which still seems very high. There are currently only 40 connections and the session hosts are publishing via "remote app) MS office and a few other bits and pieces.

Is this something i should worry about and what can i do to get the RAM down? Or should I allocate more?

Has anyone seen EventID 103 - RemoteDesktopServices-RdpCoreTS "The disconnect reason is..."

So we are using TS to host a bunch of virtual desktops and we are having some issues with disconnects and I was pointed to this event.

The event looks like this:

The disconnect reason is 0

And from some other good troubleshooting over the spiceworks forum, I was able to determine the following disconnect codes and their meanings, but I was hoping someone could fill in the blanks or point me to an article that explains all the codes? I'm also hoping maybe this question will help others who are dealing with a similar issue.

So thanks to Justin1250 and his posts here:

http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/764914-remote-desktop-services-disconnect-code

I think it's safe to say:

Disconnect Reason is 0 = Client Disconnect, network connectivity lost

Disconnect Reason is 2 = Admin has signed off/terminated the user session

Disconnect Reason is 3 = Idle Session Timer limit was reached

Disconnect Reason is 5 = Client Closed RDP sessions

Disconnect Reason is 12 = ?

If anyone could help I would really appreciate it! Thanks!!! I need to know what disconnect 12 means to continue troubleshooting our disconnects!

I am trying to find a way for saving a document of RDS user, more precisely RDWEB user .

Scenario:

1. User logs in to RDWeb. He can open Published Apps

2. Word 2013 is one of the apps and he needs to save Word file.

3. When browse for destination folder only C: and D: are available (sure they could be hidden).

No map drives appearance. So he cannot access his home directory for saving file.

QUESTION: Is there a way to SHOW Up users Mapped drives in RDWEB session?

Terminal Server - IP Virtualization

October 12, 2015, 5:56 am

Hello,

I'm trying to get get IP Virtualization to work with our terminal servers. We have a product called nComputing that is used for terminal services, which is basically the same as Microsoft's solution.

Anyways, I enable IP Virtualization and set the NIC and set it to Per Session, however, when new connections are made or if I re-login, internet from the Chrome, IE, etc. fails. It works on some internal application webpages, but not all. DNS resolves inside and out. I can ping anything, including the gateways.

We have a web filter in place that traffic goes through, but I'm not seeing it logged like it normally is. I'm not sure if it's failing to leave the session, failing at the filter, or something else. This is the first time using this and not quite sure if there's something I'm missing. The goal is to be able to separate users by IP so they can have filters applied appropriately.

Does IP Virtualization only work on the same subnet? Can it work on a segmented network? Most of our thin clients will connect via different subnet.

Any help would be great, thank you.

How do you configure the settings so that

1. Runs an app (IE8) when a user logs into this termainal severs

2. Opens up a particular URL only

3. Hide the address bar when it's launch (so user can't access any other sites)

Setting Up Connection Broker to Load Balance / Fail Over RemoteApp Sessions

October 14, 2015, 7:17 am

Good Morning Guys -

After setting up a 2012 R2 server for RemoteApp a few weeks ago, we are now adding 2-4 additional ones.  The only thing we use RemoteApp for is publishing individual applications - not desktops - which users are accessing via the web interface or by adding the URL to Windows 7 as a RemoteApp URL connection.  The goal of these multiple servers is not only to act as a fail over, but for load balancing, too.  The published apps will only be accessible on the LAN - not over the internet.

When researching the best way to configure this, I've found a few contradicting methods.  Also, most seem to be for setting the broker up for virtual desktops and not just published apps.  Below is how I currently have things configured after trying a few things.  Many of the posts I've also seen involve the Gateway Manager, but don't know why I need to use it if sessions wil only be used locally. 

Current Configuration

Server01

  • Server configured for RemoteApp weeks ago which has ~15 published apps in single collection
  • Created a "Server Group" in Dashboard which includes 01 and 02 server
  • Holds RD Session Host Role
  • Holds Web Access Role and can browse and use it, but isn't listed under "Deployment Servers"
  • Certificate added which is signed from our domain's CA

Server02

  • Newly built RemoteApp Server which currently only has default "Quick Start" published collection
  • Created a "Server Group" in Dashboard which includes 01 and 02 server
  • Holds RD Connection Broker, Session Host, and Web Access Roles
  • Certificate added which is signed from our domain's CA

If you  could advise on what steps I need to take to get this going and/or point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it very much!  I'll be happy to submit any  additional information if needed.

Thanks!

Hi,

Sorry for my english.

We have a licence server with 4 per device 2008 Cals packs.

We have 3 problems on these packs:

1- We have unknown devices which take more than one permanent cals per each and many temporary cals too. Is there a way to find these devices or to know on which server the connection have been maid?

2- We have 2 windows 2003 server with citrix (4.5 rollup5 & 4.6) who take many permanent licence on 2008 pack? Why did they don't keep 2003 per device cals?

3- Is there a way to identify devices which have take licence on citrix. For the moment I think citrix server is masking client device on licence server.

Please help me...
