External Users can connect to RDWEB but Remote Apps stuck on Black Screen

$
0
0

I have an issue where some external users can connect to RDWeb but when they launch a remote app, the connection never completes. If you click "Show Details" the screen is black. Normally you would see the blue logon screen (loading settings, etc.).

This only happens for random clients. Others get in just fine. To test, I used a client account from home and everything worked fine. So it has to be something with their network. I suspect port 3391 UDP is not open thought I told their IT person that port 3391 UDP and port 443 TCP need to be opened.

I have tried all the usual stuff, making sure Windows is completely updated, RDP client is updated, disabling persistent bitmap caching, changing resolution, having the user click CTRL+ALT+END (nothing happens because the session isn't established yet).

Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

Thanks!


4107 Error with RDS License server: "The Remote Desktop license server failed to query Active Directory Domain Services for user information.Win32 error code: 0x8007203a"

Hi everyone,

I seem to be having trouble with one of our RDS license servers. We constantly receive this error in the event log throughout the day:

Log Name:      System
Source:        Microsoft-Windows-TerminalServices-Licensing
Date:          10/15/2010 2:55:54 PM
Event ID:      4107
Task Category: None
Level:         Warning
Keywords:      Classic
User:          N/A
Computer:      DC2.mydomain.Local
Description:
The Remote Desktop license server failed to query Active Directory Domain Services for user information.
Win32 error code: 0x8007203a

This machine is also a domain controller.

I've double checked and the server and the network service account are members of the TS Server group in AD. When I go into "review configuration" under RDS licensing it also says that is has the appropriate memberships. User CAL reporting seems to work as well.

Is there anything else that would cause error 4107? I can't seem to find anything else than group membership issue which doesn't seem to be the case.

changing the way we access remote app website

Hi

1. can we use http instead of https for remoteapp in server 2012 R2? We are using it a secured VPN and its now two layers of security and slowing it down.

 2. Is there any way that we force clients to use UDP over https for getting access to the RDWebAccess?

User theme appears to be randomly changing for no reason...? (with photos)

I've got about 20 users on a Terminal Server using Wyse T10 and C10 thin clients.  Odd thing is, the same user who logs in will see multiple themes though the day.  Basically they will log-on and see the win7 style start icon and such...then for no reason, the screen will flicker and show the classic start icon...then later it will switch back.  Other things such as the print menu's and IE web browser skins change too to match the classic or win7 theme.

See screenshots below.

Any idea's?  Should I focus on the wyse devices or the windows server to correct this?  We are running Server 2008 R2 with terminal serveries enabled.

Users dont have the abilty to change themes to my knowledge

How to Unassign or Removed an Assigned user from a Persistent or Personal Virtual Machine?

$

Hi,

 I have about 20 users with 20 persistent VMs in RDS Hyper-V host. Each user is assigned to his/her own personal VM so she can have a custom desktop look. I would like to un-assign or remove a user, how?

 Scenario: User Jessica's personal desktop "VDI-VM 2" has issues and I would like to remove her from the VM and assign her to "VDI-VM 21". I would like to keep VDI-VM2 for troubleshooting so I do not want to delete/remove it.

How would I perform this action?

Best,

Tuan

2012 R2 RDS Temporary Profile issue

$
0
0

I have set up a standard 3 node 2012 R2 RDS for testing. All virtualized on VMware ESXi 5.0. I have a connection Broker, session host, and web access server. I have published several applications and I can access them without a problem. Here is my issue:

When I try to log on to my session host server either locally or thru RDP, I am always logged in with a Temporary profile. It does not mater what user account I use. Even logging on locally as the administrator I get a temporary profile.

All windows updates are installed and current.

I have removed the server from the domain, deleted the account, and rejoined it to the domain.

I have deleted all .bak registry entries from here:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList

There is a hotfix here for a similar issue on 2012 but it does not apply to 2012 R2

The only event viewer errors are:

1515 (Windows has backed up this user profile. Windows will automatically try to use the backup profile the next time this user logs on.)

1511 (Windows cannot find the local profile and is logging you on with a temporary profile. Changes you make to this profile will be lost when you log off.)

Any suggestions to resolve would be greatly appreciated.

Very slow access to mapped local client drives (with RD Gateway)

$
0

Hi,

for our published applications it is necessary to save files to the mapped/redirected local client drives (Session Collection -> Client Settings -> Enable redirection for the following: Drives).

This is working, but very, very slow (i.e. for a small file < 1Mb it needs minutes!)

I have setup an RDS environment as follows:

  • One 2012R2Server (VM) for:
    * RD Connection Broker, Session Host, Gateway, Licensing, Web Access;
    * also RD Session Host for testing;
    * the server is within DMZ,      but has access to the corporate network (not Internet)
  • Several2012R2 Servers (VMs):
    * RD Session Hosts
    * within DMZ
  • Several2008R2 Servers (VMs):
    *
    RD Session Hosts (found a description to publish also 2008R2 App on the 2012R2 RD Web Access Portal)
    * within DMZ

We thought about SSL, that this could be the reason or the certificate (but this looks good) or the AntiVirus software.

I read different articles about the Bypass RD Gateway server for local addresses.

When I check the Bypass RD Gateway server for local addresses box I can save files on the normal way (fast). But then I have only this (normal) fast access within the DMZ. Outside the DMZ the access is still very slow. (Also in this case the normal users have no access, only the administrators. I still don’t know why. But this will be the next step.)

Then we thought that the way through two servers (RD Session Host and RD Gateway) could be the reason. However the file transfer of the published application from the RD Gateway Server is so slow, too.

I've run out of ideas.

So my question is:

Why is the file download so extremely slow, when the RD Gateway is involved and only the file transfer to the local client drives. The normal file transfer to the local server drives is fast. Also the rest of the application is fast. When I use the normal Remote Desktop Session (mstsc.exe) everything is also fine.

 

Thank you in advance for any help and hints you can give.

Do Remote Apps on win2012 support anynomous login?

Hi All,

I have a Win2012R2 server and have remote apps services.

I have publish it to client to use but some of them say it is trouble to login two times (Login RDWEB and remote desktop client).

May I know if we can by pass the authorization of RDWEB and direct show all icon on the web?

I find Win2008 has this on remote apps but not sure it can be on win2012R2.

May I know signle sign-on can let the user to use domain account for the remote desktop?

is it need to trust the website's cert, set IE option to logon and edit the group policy to allow delgration to use exist account to login?

Thanks a lot.

RDP Smart Card Logon. CRL Check.

Hello.

We have windows server 2012 R2 named RDP. On this server policy "Interactive logon: Require smart card " is enabled. Server is domain member. Also we have internal PKI. One Root CA and one Issuing CA. CRL is published on http web server. This CRL URL is available from RDP server. And smart card logon works fine.

I revoked user's certificate and published crl. But user still able connect to server. What do I need to do to user cannot to logging to RDP server after i revoked certificate? I tried run "certutil -setreg chain\ChainCacheResyncFiletime @now" on RDP server, but user still connect. Where checked CRL? On RDP server or on KDC? Maybe i need run this command on all domain controllers?

Access Denied When Logging onto a Terminal Server

$

I have a Terminal Server in a server 2008 environment that gives the error "Access Denied" when domain users attempt to logon to it including administrators. However I am able to access it with the /admin switch when I rdp into it. I was able to put a fix in place by modifying the registry "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server" and adding  IgnoreRegUserConfigErrors as a new DWORD. However before that I had verified that the permissions where correct for the domain users and admins, disabled all GPO's. I even built a new Terminal server from scratch and got the same result. My question is would registry value cause any security issues? And I would like to look for a way to resolve the issue without the workaround if possible.


Terminal Server windows 2012 R2 does not render Desktop in Portrait if width

$

Hello

we are using Windows Enbedded Handheld 6.5.3 (with 240x320, 480x600 and 480x800 displays) Remote Desktop Mobile (RDM) to connect to Terminal Services on a Windows 2012 R2 server. If using RDM option "Fit remote desktop to screen" and starting a new session, the Start screen (Metro UI) is shown. Now starting a Desktop app like Control Panel or "This PC", the screen changes and only an empty background is shown. The Server renders the same, if set to start sessions in Desktop Mode.

If clicking or tapping the empty background the Start screen is shown again. The Terminla Server just does not render the desktop scren, the Desktop apps are started but not shown.

The same (empty background) happens if starting a new Remote Desktop Client session from a Windows 7 x64 or Windows 8.1 with the resolution set to 480x640 or 480x800 (width and height settings the RDP file). First I thought this is a general 'portrait' resolution issue, but the new session works correctly for 600x800.

I also tried Windows Phone 8.1 Remote Desktop and it does connect and render but always in landscape mode and I do not see an option to chamge the resolution used.

Is there any minimum limitation for portrait screens with Terminal Server of windows 2012 server? How can I workaround this, we need full screen display on the mobile devices.

Thanks for help

RemoteApp Loses Focus - RemoteApp Window Drops Behind All Open Windows

$

Hi,

We have setup RD RemoteApp using Windows 2008 R2 for several applications within the company.

The programs that run as a RemoteApp on a client disappear, irregular.The connection to the AppServer is still active and visible in the task bar.It is just another program, which previously was located in the background, brought to the fore (eg Excel, Word, etc.).If programs are minimized, our RemoteApp is of immediate importance and it can be worked on directly.

If all other programs are minimized, and only the RemoteApp is in the maximized, the problem does not occur.

Thus, it appears that the focus is lost on the RemoteApp.Windows then puts the last used window to front.

This is happening on Windows 7 and XP Professional workstations.  I have applied all updates to the servers andinstalled RDP 7.0 on the XP machines and RDP 8.1 on the Windows 7 workstations.  I have also applied Hotfix KB 967885 on an XP machine but have not determined if this has worked yet.  If it does, great!  But this hotfix is only for XP and Vista. I still need a solution for the Windows 7 computers.

I have read the other threads but none of the suggestions have worked.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

Remote-App lost focus / Screen/Window jumping

$

Hi everybody,

we have a new Terminal Server with Remote-Apps and a very interesting problem.

 

Host: ESXi 5.5

Guest: Windows Server 2012 R2

Remoteapp: CAS (not importend, all Remote-Apps have the problem)

Client-OS: Win7 and Win 8.1

 

Now the problem:

 

A Remote-App is started on a client - this works fine. The Remote-App opens a lot of windows (new mail, customer informations and so on) and it happens that the active windows lost the focus and jumps into the background and another windows is in front with the focus.

The problem is not reproducible and with this caution it is not possible to work with the Remote-App.

I found following hotfix (http://support.micro...b/2964832/en-us) but it is not applicable to the clients.


If somebody needs additional information, i will be available.

Thanks for your help and time!

Kind regards

RDS 2012 Remote App Active Window not coming to the front

$
0

We are working with RDS 2012 and publishing a remote App.  The App has many windows that open within it and a few windows into their session the active window stops coming to the front.  Since this window opens behind the old window the user thinks the app locks up.  If they click off to the side and then open the Remote App window back the windows does come to the front, but this cannot be a solution.

We have tried changing the HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop\ForegroundFlashCount to 3

and the HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop\ForegroundLockTimeout  to 0

Anybody else encountered this?

Traffic flow - Clients/Connection Broker/RD Web App/Session Hosts - Post connection

$
0
0

Hi

I have had a dig around, but unfortunately I cannot find an answer to this question.

I would like to understand the traffic flow between the clients and the Connection Bbroker/RD Web Server after a connection to a session host (both RDP and RemoteApp) has been established. In this case the RD environment would all be 2012R2 and the clients would be Windows 7 or newer.

I am asking this as we have an established Connection Broker/RD Web Server setup that exists in the UK and I have to stand up a new "collection" of session hosts in Asia. Once the Connection Broker and RD Web App servers have identified the session host the client should connect to, is all traffic then purely between the client and the session host (barring any outages)

If anyone can point me to a TechNet document about this I will be very grateful.

Thanks

RDSH 2012 Intermittent freezing with ThinClient RDP version 8

$

We recently built a 3 node RDSH 2012 farm with a connection broker. We also started piloting test users on this farm. We are seeing the following strange behavior:

  • Connections with Win10 (RDP10) are smooth and working fine the whole day
  • Connections with ThinClients (RDP8) intermittently freeze and have a black screen but will recover after a few seconds or minutes

Has anybody else seen this before? We believe it is due to either the RDP8 or some settings in the mstsc console that will cause this. Before one by one checking all the available settings and possibilities I wanted to check with you to see if anyone experienced a similar issue and potentially has some advice.

Publishing Web application recommendation

Hi!

We have a hyper-v HP Server with Nvidia GPU which we need to use for publishing a web application on a VM. As per our knowledge it is not possible to assign GPU to VMs having Server OS. In this case we have two options, either we create separate windows 8.1 Enterprise VMs for every user who needs to use that application or we install the GPU on a separate physical server, install windows server OS and use Remote Desktop Services to let users use that application.

Which option is better and is there any other solution. The application is highly graphical and needs a good VGA. That's why we decided to let users use it directly on the server.

Thanks.

DCOM was unable to communicate with the computer XXXX using any of the configured protocols; requested by PID XXX (C:\Windows\System32\spoolsv.exe)

I am having trouble finding any information on this error.  This is a Windows 2012 RDS server.  Every time a computer connects to it, i get this event in the System log.  

Dcom 10028 -  DCOM was unable to communicate with the computer XXXX using any of the configured protocols; requested by PID      XXX (C:\Windows\System32\spoolsv.exe).

The only issue that anyone reports with printing is that it is occasionally very slow.  Rebooting the server resolves that.  

Has anyone seen this before?  It isn't a major problem, but i'm definitely curious as to what it is and how i might get rid of it.
