Recycle Bin - Folder Redirection

$

0

Hello All,

I´m implementing a VDI Environment and using Folder Redirection. (Windows Server 2012).

But when my users delete any document, this document is not going to the recycle bin and I cannot find this document in any place.

There are any way to enable the recycle bin, and when the user delete a document, the users can see the document inside the recycle bin inside the terminal services?

Regards,

Daniel.


User Profile Disk and IE cookies

$

Hi,

we're implementing RDS 2012 at the moment and we are using User profile Disk (UPD). We're facing an issue now with IE settings not being saved (E.g., we have an Intranet Site where you can save your login credentials in some kind of cookie). But when a user logs off, and logs on again, he has to logon again to the Intranet Site.

I know it has to do something with AppData\Local, but can't find out exactly what I need to store exactly in the UPD. I tested with AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\iNetCache and iNetCookies, but this didn't work.

Are there any baselines what to store in the UPD?

We now store the following:

Desktop, Links, Music, Pictures, Roaming user profile data, User registry data and additionally some Appdata\local folders for specific applications.

Any ideas??

Kind regards,

Mario


Windows Server 2012 R2 - RDWeb - MSTSC to hosts farm

$

Hello :)

I have deployed a Standard W2012 R2 RDS collection, in a testing enviroment.

Right now the collection has 3 servers - 1 Broker / Gateway - 2 Sessions hosts.

My questions are as follow:

When publishing a Remote Desktop connection (mstsc.exe /v hosts.domain.dk), what should i insert in the "hosts.domain.dk" to make sure load balancing will work between to 2 session hosts?? I believe a DNS round robin should work, but is that the correct way to do this or????

When connecting directly to S1TS01.domain.dk from the published remote app, my keystrokes are not "forwarded" to the session host?

If i connect directly to the session host (RDP) or from the Tab "Connect to a remote PC" on the RDweb the keystrokes are forwarded ?

I hope you can help, because the RDS solution looks like a Citrix killer - and it works really good :)

Thanks in advance :)

Access Denied - Server 2008 R2

$

0

Some users are experiencing an error when attempting to log onto the terminal server. The error message simply says Access Denied when they try to remote in. 

It seems to happen at random times. However I have checked event viewer and the following error is appearing Event ID 1061, Remote Desktop Session Host server was unable to retrieve users Licensing information from AD. Error 0x8007203a. 

These errors seem to appear almost daily, and Licensing diagnosis under RD session host configuration seems to be stating that I have 0 licenses available for clients. This tends to change from showing licenses are available to then showing 0 licenses available. 

Could this be the reason for the access denied for some users? If so, does anyone know a resolution?

Thanks,

Update:

I have just checked Licensing Diagnosis and it now states the following:



No chance to change expired password when connecting to RDP server

$

Hello everybody,

on a Windows Server 2012 R2 terminal server, users try to connect via RDP. Their password is expired already. The server does not allow them to change their password now, but only displays a message saying that the password has expired and needs to be changed. As said, however, the user does not get any dialog box to actually change her password.

Why? And what can we do to fix that?

Printing in RAW format from a remote session does not work

$

0

I have an application which need to print using the RAW format.

I followed the guide here and it works fine when the application runs locally but not from a remote session.

It is possible to print from the remote session using the "normal" print functions (e.g. from Notepad).

There are no errors reported from the WinSpool method calls nor any indications in the event log in the remote session or local computer.

Is the RAW format not supported or is there a way to find out what the problem is?



Is it possible to use SSH tunnel and X11 securely from a RDSH server?

Hi,

I was looking into if it was possible to access a Linux box from a RDSH server via X11+SSH tunnel.  I was able to use the old academic version of SSH 3.2.9 and Xwin32 on a RDSH server test box and noticed my 1st test account's X11 client could access another test account's SSH tunnel on the same server. 

Is there a secure way to use X11+SSH tunneling on a RDSH environment?

Intranet - remote desktop login cure

$

0

Still running XP machines with browsers connecting to a windows 7 pro hosting a xitami webserver for Intranet services - when xitami was hosted on an xp machine connection to http://hub-:8080 (or IP address:8080) was seamless since moving to Win 7 the xp machines polling this address time out.

The cure is to remote desktop into the 'server' machine and log in and out and the page is then found normal service is resumed.

I can see that by 'remoting' in some sort of gateway is opened through the user login (it wasn't necessary on XP) but I can't see anything in the firewall to stop it and presume it is something in permissions somewhere. I have searched for a solution and have ended up here via the thought of writing a batch file for workstations to execute on startup, logging in an out remotely to open the connection but this seems very clunky and top heavy. Any pointers gratefully received.  Low level batch file writing indicates my ability/knowledge ceiling. Thanks

RD Connection Broker not working

$

0

I have a client who we built an RDS environment for.  When this was built originally it was all working as expected.  Something has changed in the past year and a half (which no one there seems to know what changed) and now the setup isn't working as expected.

There are 8 servers involved total.

1x License server

1x Connection Broker/RD Gateway

6x Session Hosts

The problem is that the Connection Broker is no longer handing off desktop sessions to the session hosts.  In the past I could RDP to the Connection Broker (RDGateway.domain.local  -  farm name) and it would place me on one of the 6 session hosts.  Now it simply logs into the broker server itself.

I have tried a multitude of different things to get this working and am beside myself as to why it isn't.  I believe that my configuration is correct as I have compared it to several online setup guides and walk-trough's.

What could I be missing that would be causing this?


Problem with RSA and RDS

$

0

I want authentificate my users with the Login/Password and RSA.

I have a Windows 2012 RDS farm consisting of:
• A gateway / RDWEB (the two roles are combined)
• A Broker
• A RDWeb for internal connections
• A remote app server with published applications

I installed the Web Agent for Windows on the gateway and have authentication enabled on the site RDWEB (always the same server).

Initially, I had a problem of double authentication. My user must type his id and token before arriving on the form and having to type the login / AD password.

I managed to ensure that the user enters his login and token and direct access to the web page with published applications.

The problem is that when the user launches the published applications, it must authenticate.

I suspect an authentication delegation, but I do not see what to do.

Do you have a solution please?

2. RD Conneciton Broker in App layer - 1 server

3 . RD Session Host in App Layer -2 servers

I have no issues connecting from internet or intranet. but I observed slow in Initial Connection.

When I track down to the event logs I see the slow between event ID 261 (Initial Conneciton) & 1149 (Auth Success) in Connection Broker Server.

I have even tried placing IP in host file still there is 1 min delay. can anyone provide me the resolution

SBS 2008 RWW Windows 10 Client can't print remotely

$

I have an SBS 2008 implementation with win 7(32 bit) clients in the office. One remote user has upgraded their home system to Windows 10 and can no longer print (remote printer at home does not show up on the office PC when remote user is connected).

The remote printer is an HP DeskJet F4440. This all worked with a Win7 at the remote location.  The remote Win 7 crashed and was replaced with a Win 8.1 that was able to access the office computer via RWW but could not print (same reason as above).

The remote user HAS specified to share resources (printers/clipboard) with the host machine in the office.

I've looked at TSCONFIG on the SBS 2008 but that is only for remotely administering the server and does not provide any configuration options for the RWW systems.

I have the remote user creating PDFs and copying them but they really want to be able to "just hit print".

To the best of my knowledge EasyPrint is enable, especially since it worked with the original Win7 remote.  How do I check?

Any input will be greatly appreciated.

thanks in advance.

Configure behavior when maximum of RDP sessions are reached

Hi, 

I observed that Windows Servers can behave differently when the maximum number of RDP sessions is reached (with no RDS Role installed that's 2 sessions + the admin session). 

When trying to connect with the - in this example - 3rd session I can either get a screen showing which users are logged on (either active or disconnected) or I can get a message saying "This computer cannot connect to the remote computer".

Where can I configure this behavior?

thx

Hi all,

I'm trying to set up an RDS environment where users who are connecting from the internet are provided with Multi-factor authentication, but with the possibility to bypass MFA when connecting from specific IP-addresses.

The MFA-part is working, however, I can't seem to figure out how to bypass MFA for specific IP-addresses.Does any of you have experience with this?

Issues with application hosting, unclickable icons

We are having an issue at my workplace at the moment.
When logging into a remote application host, provided by Visma, I am unable to press any of the icons to launch the programs.

My current IE version is 11.0.9600.18124, and I believe the remote host is a Windows Server 2008 R2.

Other than that, I don't really have a lot more information. We have a tech company who helps us at all times. We have also talked to Visma about this, and neither of them have found a solution.

Thanks for any help!

routing token/LoadBalanceInfo RDS 2012R2

$
0

Hi,

We're currently testing 2012R RDS, but we're having trouble with the load balancing. We want to use Kemp Loadmasters to load balance the RDSH servers. Which should be able to replace this function from the Connection brokers. This works perfectly in our current 2008R2 setup.

But we're having some issues with the load balancing in 2012R2, our setup is as follows:

All clients are not on the local network, they all access the RDSH hosts through a RDGW, this part works.
We have 2 Connection brokers, a kemp in a single arm configuration with a farm VIP. the local DNS has a correct entry for this Kemp VIP. The loadmaster is configured for session broker mode on port 3389.

In order to check if the load balancing works as expected, I've used MS message analyzer with the option to decrypt the traffic. In the traces performed on the RDSH host, I'm only able to identity the X224 RDCB packet with: Routingtoken: tsv://MS Terminal Services Plugin.1.[CollectionName]

But I couldn't find any other routing information, or server redirect packet (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee443575.aspx)

Removing the line: loadbalanceinfo:s:tsv://MS Terminal Services Plugin. from the rdp file, resulted in a depreciated user rdp cookie:

Cookie: mstshash=user@dom

This also works, but is limited because the hash field is to short to identify every user, F.longsurname@domain.com gets shortened to f.longsur

There should be a server redirect package when using the LoadbalanceInfo option, but I cannot find it. Also, one in x attempts results in a failed login. This is the whole reason for me to want to find this routing information. Anybody any ideas on how to find this information, or how to find the cause?

Adding Win2012 RDS Host to Win2008 RD License server

$

We have a few Citrix Servers that are used for normal Citrix stuff, so we have spare licenses.

We now have a situation where there are five BI servers where more than two people need to be able to log on at the same time, so we thought that we could install remote desktop services on them.

I have installed the role 'Remote Desktop Session Host' on one of them, but I can't see a way of getting it to see our license server, so the BI server (Let's call it BI05) says that in 120 days the role will stop working.

I have googled pretty extensively, but I can only find articles where you are setting up  an environment from scratch orfor previous OSs, so following the instructions don't seem to help.

Am I missing a step somewhere?

I should probably point out that no functionality beyond a normal admin rdp session is required...
