remote desktop causes screen to go black

I have windows 7 32 bit.  I have always been able to remote into this computer until recently.  Now, I am unable to remote into my workstation.  The screen which I am remoting to goes black, and I cannot recover it.  The screen where I am remoting from simply has a spinning circle until it times out.  This problem has coincided with the recent installation of AVG on the computer which I am remoting to.  

I have disabled the firewall and updated the drivers on the video adapters.  I am running multiple monitors on the machine which I am remoting to.  any guidance would be appreciated.

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 have an windows 2012 R2 terminal server. I have configured a remote app application. The users login to this program and work normal, but at some point when they try to open some menus they always get this error "System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Login failed for user 'sa'.". if they log in to server remotely and then open the program this error doesnot occures, so the problem is only when it is remote app. Can someone help me please?

Can't run remoteapp

I'm running all server 2012 R2 servers. I have the licensing on a domain controller and web, connection broker and Gateway on a member server. We had a problem with a virus so the former licensing server had to be replaced. It's taken alot of configuration, but I have almost everything back working. I can go to RD Web and connect to a computer on the network just fine. However, if I try to run a remoteapp, I get a message that the remote computer could not be found. I'm not sure if this is just something misconfigured or if it could be a dns issue. What server is the error referring to? When I click a remoteapp on the RD web page, what should be the role that is contacted?

RD Gateway farm with Third Party SSL certificate common name

We are planning to setup RD gateway farm using windows 2012 R2 servers.

Server names are as follow

gw1.abc.local
gw2.abc.local

We need to buy third party SSL certificate for common name something like For Eg: rdpgw.abc.com , so that client will automatically trust the gateway farm server common name , because we have clients connecting from different domains and may be workgroup where we cannot manage to import the self signed certificate on client computers.

How to generate the CSR for common name and on which server it need to be generated?
After receiving the ssl certificate in common name and importing to the RD Gateway servers cause any SSL certificate name mismatch issues?

Do we have already guide to setup only RD Gateway farm for high availablity because, we use third party hardware to load balance the RD gateway requests?

RDS 2012 R2 certificate requirements

Dear all,

I have successfully deployed an RDS 2012 R2 environment. All works well, except a warning message when opening the published app (trusted publisher).

I have received a code signing certificate from COMODO, but when I want to apply this certificate, I get an error message informing me of wrong certificate properties.

Now, the code signing certificate name is different from the single-sign-on certificate. After a lot of searching the net, asking colleagues and thinking about it - I must ask you.

What does the publishing certificate require in a Windows Server 2012 R2 RDS deployment? I can't seem to find any information on this.

Best regards,

David

Distributed User Profile Disks in Server 2012 R2

January 14, 2016, 11:06 pm

I have been exploring the implementation of User Profile Disks in Server 2012 R2 in a load-balanced Session Collection. This has generally been working out fine, however I have concerns in terms of scaling.

All User Profile .VHDX files are mounted from a raided SSD share sitting on a single server. While this does have very good read / write capabilities, I predict to get up to having 500 active sessions served through this share - this means the full user profiles for 500 users are being actively written to this single server.

I doubt it will hold up to this kind of traffic, however don't know the right way to scale this out. I can't find any sort of advice or solutions offered by Microsoft up to now.

Can VPN but not RDP

January 17, 2016, 4:27 am

Hi

When Windows updates are available for our work servers, I use my Windows 10 Pro home computer (from home) to establish a VPN connection and then use Remote Desktop to log on to the servers, install the updates and restart the servers. After they have restarted I log on again to make sure everything is OK. I use Remote Desktop Connection Manager V2.2 (RDCM) to do this - this allows me to establish a connection to all 4 servers at the same time. I have been doing this for several years using various methods with XP, Vista, Win7 and Win8.1

I tried this last Thursday and although I could establish a VPN connection to my employers network, I was unable to establish a remote desktop connection. For example, I tried to connect to a server and the RDCM tries to connect but after between 5 and 10 seconds a message is displayed:

Disconnected from server-name (Unable to establish a connection)

I tried using Windows' built-in Remote Desktop Connection (Desktop App), but it displays an error message saying

Remote Desktop can't connect to the remote computer for one of these reasons:...

I have tried connecting using the server name (which is how I normally connect) and via IP address.

Our work network has Remote Access installed on a member server. Staff can connect remotely only if they are members of a global security group named VPN and NPS has a policy defined that explicitly allows for this (the default NPS policies are disabled). The work network comprises 4 servers and 35 clients and uses a 192.168.0.xxx addressing range. It comprises a single Active Directory domain on a single 255.255.255.0 subnet. There are two domain controllers: 2012 R2 and 2008. Remote access connections to the network are routed via the gateway (a Draytek 2830) router using NAT.

I have an LMHOSTS file on my home PC that identifies the domain and which maps the name/address of our data server. When connected via VPN I am no longer able to connect to the data server using either its name or IP address via Windows Explorer (nothing happens when I try this, I don't even see an error message).

I use Emsisoft Internet Security and have disabled the firewall (and all the components as well), but my PC is still unable to establish a Remote Desktop connection.

I have tried resetting TCP using my admin account but saw the following:

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.10586]
(c) 2015 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

C:\Users\Blood>netsh int ip reset c:\resetlog.txt
Resetting Interface, OK!
Resetting , failed.
Access is denied.

Resetting , OK!
Restart the computer to complete this action.

But it did not help.

After restarting I enabled the Administrator account, logged on using the Administrator account and tried resetting TCP again but saw the same message and after restarting am still unable to establish a Remote Desktop connection. I have also tried restarting the gateway router.

VPN connections are handled fine and IMAP connections to our data server that hosts our mail server software (Mercury/32) also work fine.

The only thing that has changed on my work network is that I have moved a wireless router from one part of the building to another.

I cannot see any error messages in the event logs on my home computer nor on the remote access server at work or the other servers I was trying to connect to.

Does anyone have suggestions I might try to fix this, please?

Thanks.

Windows Server 2012 - RDS RemoteApps and PCI Compliance

January 19, 2016, 12:09 pm

I have a client that is currently failing there PCI scan due to TLS 1.0

I've modified the registry to remove TLS 1.0 and 1.1 and confirmed TLS 1.2 is there.

Client has Windows 7 computer(s)

I've enabled logging so i can see how clients are connecting.

There appears to be a mix of TLS 1.0 and SSL3, however if i connect it reports TLS 1.2

The RDS Collection is set to TLS 1.0 (there is some bug posted a while back that said it doesn't display the right version!)

In desparation i did try RDS SECURITY but the Win7 clients couldn't launch a RemoteApp and evet log on the server ID:5605 saying to change auth to Pkt_Privacy. and because it was the working day i had to revert back to TLS 1.0

The way i see it, even if i can get the Win7 clients to connect at TLS 1.2, the PCI Scan will still fail !!

This must be an issues many are facing with TLS 1.2 and PCI but can't find any answers, only questions.

If i've missed any vital info here then please ask and i'll try to answer ASAP

Thanks in advance :)

Windows Server 2012 R2 - RDP with User Profile Disks - Temporary profile on first login

January 14, 2016, 9:16 pm

System Architecture:

I have 5 Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard instances running a Remote Desktop Services Session Collection.

Server #1 is the Connection Broker, and hosts the share for central User Profile disks.

Servers #1 - #5 are load balanced under the Session Collection.

---

Problem:

1. New user (has not logged in before) RDPs to Server #1. Load balancing redirects to another Server (say Server #5).

2. Login is way too instant. An inspection reveals that the user profile has been logged in with a temporary profile.

3. User logs out fully (as opposed to disconnecting).

4. User logs in again, gets load balanced again to Server #5, this time the loading takes longer, it appears the .VHDX user profiledisks is being created. On inspection, user is using actual profile, no longer using a temporary profile.

---

This is readily reproducible by me. In one instance, it took logging off and then back on two times before the user profile disk was created.

---

An inspection of the logs gives the same error every time:

Remote Desktop Services could not apply a user desktop for a user account with a SID of S-1-5-21-3954512987-845256609-1816244978-2710. A temporary profile was enforced for the user. Verify that the user profile disk settings are correct. The error code is 0x21.135

All online searches of this error all lead to the same hacky "fix" given by Microsoft of deleting a registry key of the profile. None even attempt at the source of the problem. Example article:

https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/734fae1e-9a47-415c-b53e-e1cdbdd8c38d/windows-2008-r2-you-have-been-logged-on-with-temp-profile

---

These Windows Server 2012 R2 instances are all  brand new and have not been subjected to odd changes over time - they are pretty much out of the box OS instances.

This is obviously pretty important to fix. Any ideas?

Outlook not finding Sent items in Search

A user connects over remote desktop connection to a Windows Server 2008 R2 Datacenter.

She opens Outlook 2007, conducts a search of sent items for dss@example.com, and there is a gap in the search results.

The missing period is between May 2015 and January 2016.

I say a "gap", because if we browse the Sent items, we can see the emails not returned in the search.

The emails were sent to dss@example.com.

This problem only started occurring since the user returned to work on 11th January 2016.

Today, the version of Outlook installed on the server has been upgraded to 2013, and the problem remains.

Suggestions appreciated.

Hi,

I am building a Windows 2008 R2 Terminal Server for a client that requires speech recognition functionality.

I have installed the Desktop Experience Feature and the Terminal Server is picking up that I have a microphone installed.

However the option to enable Windows Speech Recognition is still greyed out in the Ease of Access Center.


Is there some additional configuration I need to make in order to enable this function, or is it not possible?

Thanks,

second RDP Session to the same Farm-Member fails

Hello,

I have found out a strange behavior in my RDP-Farm.

This is my environment:
RDP-Sessionhost 1: 192.168.0.1
RDP-Sessionhost 2: 192.168.0.2
RDP-Sessionbroker: 192.168.0.3
Farm-Name: WTS-Broker
DNS-Roundrobin configured for the farm name
All Servers are W2K8R2 with current Updates installed.

Now to my problem:
User A makes a RDP-Session to the farm name “wts-broker” with his personal user account. He is landing on Sessionhost 2. Now User A starts a new rdp connection from his session on sessionhost 2 with a different user account to the same RDP-Farm. This time DNS Round Robin points the RDP Connection to Sessionhost 1 but the load balancing decides to redirect back to Sessionhost 2 where the initial request comes from. In this scenario the RDP connection fails: “Remote desktop cannot verify that this server belongs to the same server farm.“

Unfortunately I only have the screenshot of this error message in German.

Did anyone encountered that Problem before and knows how to fix this?

Many thanks in advance for your answers.

DNS Round Robin As Well As Session Collection

I'm currently setting up some thin clients which we have bought - HP T520's. If I put the name of an RDS Session Host server into the RDP client, obviously it doesn't work due to it not being ran in Admin mode.

The RDP client on these thin clients does not give an option for using the Gateway to connect.

How do I set up an DNS Round Robin configuration as well as the session collection? If I set up a DNS name it stills gives errors about redirection.

Every time on of my users change the Domain Password they need to enter their Outlook 2010 password, we are using hosted exchange (Outlook Anywhere with Basic Authentication). Every single user is login with a domain account using Home Folder Redirection and Roaming Profile on our Session Host Servers with Server 2012 R2.

Any ideas why is Outlook 2010 asking for password??
