Hi People,
A client is requesting that Yammer Notifier be installed on their Terminal Servers.
They are running Server 2008 R2 Std.
Is this possible, and if so what needs to be done to get it installed correctly.
Many thanks.

Hello, got an issue with printing
Windows Server 2012 r2 ->Remote Desktop
Printer gets rediricted - 32 and 64 drivers are present on server ( 32 bit on client PC )
Drivers are the same
It says it prints on Server but nothing comes out of a printer
Issue might be that the printer is also a printer/scanner/fax machine
Thanks for reading
Dear Sir/Mam,
We are Microsoft Partner I need a help on behalf of my Customer .
Kindly Provide us the process to install the Remote Desktop CAL so that we can install it.
Awaiting for your reply.
Hi guys,
On a random base (daily, weekly) we're experiencing major log-in problems on our Windows Server 2012 R2 Remote Desktop Services farm. The VM's are hosted on Hyper-V 2008 hosts and we're not using Citrix techniques etc.
Users are reporting that they cannot log-in, the log-in sessions hangs with a blank screen when loading their user profile (e.g. Please Wait For The User Profile Service).
In the System event log of the server on which the user is logging on the following errors are shown:
Source: Service Control Manager
Date: 23-12-2014 7:28:01
Event ID: 7011
Task Category: None
Level: Error
Keywords: Classic
User: N/A
Description:
A timeout (30000 milliseconds) was reached while waiting for a transaction response from the UmRdpService service.
…and after 30 (or sometimes 60) seconds, the same error only another service (in random order):
A timeout (30000 milliseconds) was reached while waiting for a transaction response from the UmRdpService service.
…and after exactly 30 seconds, the same error only another service:
A timeout (30000 milliseconds) was reached while waiting for a transaction response from the UxmSms service.
etcetera, with the following errors:
A timeout (30000 milliseconds) was reached while waiting for a transaction response from the Netman service.
A timeout (30000 milliseconds) was reached while waiting for a transaction response from the AudioEndPointBuilder service.
A timeout (30000 milliseconds) was reached while waiting for a transaction response from the WPDBusEnum service.
A timeout (30000 milliseconds) was reached while waiting for a transaction response from the NlaSvc service.
The Portable Device Enumerator Service service failed to start due to the following error:
The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
A timeout (30000 milliseconds) was reached while waiting for a transaction response from the TrkWks service.
A timeout (30000 milliseconds) was reached while waiting for a transaction response from the UmRdpService service.
These errors are logged continuously.
An administrator cannot solve this since he isn't able to login in as well (console or remotely), only a hard reset of the VM is possible to use the affected server again.
I took different steps to solve this problem without any success, like:
- Installing the latest Windows updates
- Removed unnecessary printer drivers, print monitors and print processors (no local printers/drivers are installed, only Remote Desktop Easy Printer driver is used)
- Searched different forum posts, but found only hotfixes for Windows Server 2008 R2.
Can someone please help me with this annoying problem?
Many thanks!!
EDIT:
Of course is increasing the time-out not really an option here... http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/13765.event-id-7011-service-timeout.aspx
Hi
is it possible to set a session to allways go fullscreen and undocked on connect?

Hi
We are deploying 2012R2 remote desktop service. Our plan is that Gateway and Web Access will be in DMZ zone and others in LAN.
Because of that we should open firewall ports from DMZ to LAN which sounds creepy. Article below claims that opening ports is not too risky
Can somebody argue why it is not risky?

hello
I have 4 rds servers on windows 2008 server 2008 r2 datacentre in a farm with a single connection broker. I've noticed a couple of times when doing maintenance (removing IE temp files) servers cannot be connected to. once the servers come back up and I try to connect to the farm, there may be one server which doesn't get connected to. I haven't made any changes to the logon mode or any other configuration chance that would cause this behaviour. the only way around this is to restart the trouble server then I can connect to it again. any ideas?
regards,
Why not just remove the printer icon "HP Universal Printing PCL X" from Devices and Printers?
At a customer site the printer situation in the RDS server is perceived as a jungle and users send print jobs to the left and right. I'm going to clear this up, delete printers which lead nowhere and so forth.
But I've been thinking about this before, these "HP Universal Printing PCL 5/6" icons that seem to appear when you install the driver. It looks like printers to the users, but the "printers" doesn't shoot the job to an actual machine, so it's just clutter for them.
Why are they there? Can I just delete them? I did on my own workstation and the actual printer (icon) still works fine; but since there have been so much printer problems lately, I don't want to create a bigger mess by "testing" on the RDS server.
Anybody has an experience or knowledge regarding these pseudo printers, or whatever they are?
Hi,
I have an problem on all my Remote Desktop Servers ( 2012R2 ).
When i have the follwing settings:
Occurs the follwing problem
When i change the settings to:
and then rerun the check ( no services needs to be restarted ) i get updates
I have delete the follwing folder already C:\windows\SoftwareDistribution
Deleted the follwing Regkey HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurentVersion\WindowsUpdate the problem still remains.
Anyone an idea ?
Currently running Windows Server 2008 R2 standard with terminal services (remote desktop) installed.
All users currently have their directories (documents, start menu, pictures etc..) setup as folder redirection through GPO settings as we are providing a service to external clients hence the reason for all users sharing the same start menu configuration.
Got a very small issue whereby any new user accounts we create, the system keeps recreating certain shortcuts in the start menu redirected folder which i don't want it to do. It namely keeps creating 'internet explorer' shortcut, 'administrative tools folder' (which is empty) and 'accessories' folder which just has the 'internet explorer no add-ons' shortcut inside that.
Is there a way i can stop this from re-creating these shortcuts as i have to delete them from the redirected start menu folder every time a new user is created?
Thanks

Hey Everyone,
Rather strange issue we've run into in the past month or two. I just submitted a case to MS about the issue, but I'm curious if anyone here has seen this.
Environment: 5 2012R2 RDS Servers, up to date with all updates. Clients - Win 7 all up to date. Users have roaming TS profiles.
In late december, we started to see an issue where RDS servers seem "stuck", and nobody can log into them. A user will sit and wait at the RDP login screen 'Please Wait for User profile Service' indefinitely. It's not that logins are slow, they don't work at all. Even administrators can't login (RDP, RDP console, local console). The only way to 'unstick' a server is to hard-reset it. Users can log in again, but typically only for a day or two.
We noticed in January that certain users seemed to be causing the issue. When user John Doe would log into a server (often unsuccessfully), that would 'lock' a server, and then nobody else could login (as per my description above). As such, we deleted all users roaming RDS profiles. This seemed to 'fix' the issue for 3-4 weeks, but has returned today.
We've researched this issue to death! Lots of forum threads about 08R2 having this issue, but also lots of hotfixes. Apparently in 08R2 this is caused by filesystem deadlocks. Lots of people seem to have this issue with 2012R2 as well, but very little information and very few hotfixes. Most of the threads go nowhere and have no apparent fixes. We keep peoples RDS profiles very small (most under 5-20MB), so it's not like these profiles are very large. When the farm is working properly, most people can login completely within about 10 seconds).
We've seen a couple hotfixes that seem related to this issue, but none of them have worked (3047296, 3053667). We've installed all Windows updates (Except February 2016), but nothing has resolved this issue. The farm was working fine for about 8 months in up to december when we started to see this issue.
We built entirely new RDS servers from scratch mid-january. That did not fix the issue.
Event logs are pretty clean. The only major errors are group policy taking too long to apply. Again, logins aren't slow when this happens, they dont workat all. You can sit and wait all day the the 'please wait for user profile service' screen.
We've also tried the usual group policy settings (detect slow network connections, wait for network at startup, synchronous/asynchonous login, etc), nothing has helped.
There's a few other threads with seemingly similar issues, but no real fix.
Thoughts? The only hunch I have so far is it's somehow user profile or group policy based. But again, we keep profiles clean and small.
Hi,
When we start a Remote App from RDS, for example Word, and we use the option to send a document to e-mail as attachment the problem occurs that the mail is not send. It stays in the Outbox of Outlook UNTIL you open Outlook on RDS. Then the mail in outbox is send.
How is can we solve this without opening Outlook?
Thanx and Best regards,
Can we or should be install RDS Licensing Server on domain controller, if not recommended, what are the concerns.
any one please?
Hi,
I have a server topology existing of two remote desktop servers and one server acting as session broker and license server. Everything seems to be working as expected and have for quite a long while, but the Server Manager reports an error regarding licensing.
It tells me the license server has to be activated before I can install client access licenses for our remote desktop servers.
Here are some images I seem to not be able to insert in the post: http://imgur.com/a/ISsk8
I can't seem to get this error to disappear, because the license server is activated and I can see that the servers are using it as the license server and licenses are assigned to users just this morning. Not all logged in users are showing up as having a license assigned to them though.
The RDS distribution group is set to use this license server, and I have tried to find errors with Event ID 1130 and 1128 in the event log as I have seen these should report missing license server and grace periods, these errors can not be found.
How can I get rid of this error? Is it critical and might become a problem for users to logon suddenly? Everything looks normal to me and have no idea what more to check to resolve this error.
Thanks.
Hello,
I have an approved GPU that is enabled for RemoteFX on my Windows 2012 R2 Hyper-V server. I DO NOT have a VM collection or VDI pool. I have installed Windows 7 SP1 Enterprise as a VM on the Hyper-V server and enabled RemoteFX. I have verified it installed by connecting through the Hyper-V console and verifying in device manager.
When I try to connect the Win 7 VM using RDP, I get the error message:
"The remote session was disconnected because there were network problems during the licensing protocol"
The Windows 7 VM has been fully updated.
After some research I found one guy on these forums who said this:
"Have you added the VM with the RemoteFX vGPU to a collection? You must do this in order for RemoteFX to function correctly and for the client that is connecting to obtain a license. "
To use RemoteFx does I need a session collection and then a licensing server? RemoteFx wont work just straight RDP'ing to a created VM on a Hyper-V server?
Thanks!

Hi there,
i'm currently building a environment which gives users access to the RDweb of terminal services.
They can already access it and use it, but they need to enter their credentials everytime, even though they already logged in on the RDweb page. So using the rdp from the RDweb asks Credentials.
Any way to make it remember the credentials after logging in on the webpanel so it will copy it to the RemoteApps?
Hi,
I have an RDS Implementation using 2012 R2 with HA Brokers. 4 VM's The first pair are each configured as Web/Brokers(HA), and Gateways. The other two VM's are just App Servers.
I am just in the POC phase, and looking to have a clean login from the Remote App Website which allows an app to start without any additional login. The Cert for the external FQDN's is applied to all 4 functions, Web/Broker(single signon and publishing)/Gateway.
I continually get a double login to start an app... One from the Web Site and the other before the app starts. I am beginning to suspect this is because public cert (applied at all 4 cert levels) doesn't work for each of the internal RDS Session Hosts. The external FQDN of the brokers/web/gateway's is apps.domain.com while the internal AD domain is [servername].corp.domain.com. I am wondering if I am seeing the double login because of this.
Is this the compelling argument for purchasing a wildcard cert as *.domain.com and will this work when apps.domain.com is the external FQDN and the internal servers are [servername].corp.domain.com?
Arjan Mensch wrote a great 2 part article about advanced RDS deployments, but I am just not entirely sure the wildcard cert is causing the snag I am experiencing. I get that other prompts can appear about trusting the publisher, but the double login is really a big deal.
Thanks in advance for any insights.
