Icons are not displayed correct

Hi there,

we set up a terminal server farm featuring Windows Server 2012 r2.

However, after publishing several apps we noticed the taskbar icon is often not displayed correctly.

I.e. for Explorer.exe  the remote desktop icon will be used, as well as different, native msc consoles.

For calc.exe the icon is displayed correctly, therefore its not a general problem, it only affects selected executables.

Every hint on google did not lead to an solution. Since we published many applications users complain they cant differentiate anymore.

I'm thankful for any advice!

Hi All,

I have this issue.

I am using a Windows server 2008 SP2 machine from which i am trying to remote desktop a Windows server 2012 R2 machine.

I am able to RDP the machine but i am unable to copy & paste the files as in the below screenshot.

When i paste the file the paste option is grayed out.

When i initiate the Remote desktop connection i checked all the options in the Resources TAB:

Also the connection quality is set to LAN 10Mbps or Higher.

I also tried killing the rdpclip process in the destination server which i am taking the remote desktop connection and restarted the process but still no luck.

Can any one tell me how do i fix the issue.

RDS Access Policy Error after changed published FQDN

Have to build an easy RDS 2012 R2 Farm: 

- 1 Session Host

- 1 Connection Broker, combined with the RDS Web Site Role

- 1 RDS GW in the DMZ

The Setup was easy, and it works very fast, but with a lot of annoying prompts for the user (certificate mismatch, two logon prompts...).

But what a pain it is to make the farm work right! The best artcle we found is http://www.rdsgurus.com/ssl-certificates/windows-2012-r2-how-to-create-a-mostly-seamless-logon-experience-for-your-remote-desktop-services-environment/. Microft obviousely forgot to write any documentation about 2012 RDS. There is nearly nothing in Technet and MS Library. The only thing available from Microsoft are some Wiki articles.

From what I have read, public certificates have to be used on all systems except on the session hosts, and the "internal names" have to changed to external names.

We tryed to change the published FQDN Name with the powershell command Set-RDClientAccessName, but this command does not work when there is only one Session Broker server installed. For this purpose, we found another PS Script from Microsoft on https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/Change-published-FQDN-for-2a029b80. This script worked and the FQDN name is changed, but the connection from the client to the RDS farm doesn't work at all anymore: We are getting an error message that access is denied due to "authorization policies". We have never modified the default client and ressource access policies on the RD Gateway.

Thank you in advance for any advice regarding these problems.

Hello all,

My organization was able to implement RemoteApp with what we thought was no issues. One issue has popped-up with our mac/apple product users using the Microsoft Remote Desktop app. The issue being that the local drive does is not mapping in their sessions as a network drive as it normally should. Is this currently working for any of you?? Any advice?

Uninstall RDS Web Access role

March 24, 2016, 1:58 pm

We have a client with a server running RDS as a session host. It also has the other necessary roles, RD Web Access, RD Licensing, and RD Session Broker. They also installed XAMP on this server which they use to host an internal company web portal. Apache binds all interfaces on port 80, which causes IIS to throw an error that it can't bind the port.

Unfortunately we can't talk this client into moving the XAMP server, but we'd like to make this error go away. So what are the repurcussions of us disabling the site in IIS or removing the Web Access role altogether? Will the broker and session host continue to operate without the web access role?

Windows 2012 RDP Gateway licensing

Hello,

We are thinking about implementing a rdp gateway using Windows Server 2012.  As I understand it, we need the appropriate amount of CALs for each user or user device.  However, I am wondering how this works in terms of the counts being applied to each user.  Does each user that accesses the gateway get tied to the license, so that once the 11th user hits (with a 10-user CAL) that user gets rejected?  If so, how do you "unassociate" the user from the CAL in event that user leaves the organization?  Ditto for the device I guess, if that user's device gets refreshed or lost/stolen, do you have to disassociate it in some manner?

RD Session Host Server vs. Per User deployed RemoteApps on 2008 R2

March 25, 2016, 3:00 pm

Hello World!

Here's the brief scenario:

1) ServerA - 2008R2 with Remote Desktop Services serving RemoteApps of Visio/Project 2010, deployed via .msi and GPO.
2) The GPO is specifically a USER security group. You log into a domain PC and POOF, there's your shortcuts to Visio and Project, everything is happy.

Now we are adding in ServerB, 2008R2 with Remote Desktop Services to host RD Sessions. We want users in the same security group to have access to the remote Visio/Project residing on ServerA.  Unfortunately, so far it appears that ServerB will ignore per-user assigned Software Installations, at least ones that are called via. an .msi (I believe as the server will never be in 'install' mode during logon).

We are NOT using any of the Web functionality for RD Sessions at all (nor do we want to).
We do NOT wish to install Visio/Project on ServerB (which would incur the need to play with permissions on ServerB to restrict access to the applications, etc. etc.).

So far I BELIEVE everything else to be in place (these remote apps are and have been working for YEARS already, this is just an evolution of its use, and yes, the GPO lists as Applying ingpresult, but does not show up in RSOP, an exact problem I've seen elsewhere on the web with no further resolution), but can provide any other necessary details I can dig out!

Windows 10 VDI collection on Windows 2012 R2

Just a quick question about VDI collections on Windows 2012 R2 RDS. Are they still restricted to Windows 7 and Windows 8 or is it possible to run a Windows 10 collection now?

Obviously Windows 10 can run on Server 2016 but until this is fully released I have a few customers that have enquired about deploying Windows 10 from their current 2012 R2 environments.  

Thanks in advance.

Kind Regards

RDS Server 2016 RemoteFX - Nvidia Grid K1 - no improvement

March 26, 2016, 8:56 pm

I have gotten a server set up with Windows Server 2016 TP4, and deployed RDS on the server. I installed several applications that use several different rendering technologies (including OpenGL), and I am seeing no difference from RDS 2012 R2, even though I have enabled 1Gb of RAM for the graphics. The video card shows up on the client VM as Microsoft RemoteFX Graphics Device - WDDM, and is not recognized by any of the applications as a compatible card, so they have problems with hardware acceleration. For example, AutoCad 2016 does not allow me to enable hardware acceleration because it says my graphics card is not compatible. It is the same experience that we get when using RDS on Windows Server 2012R2.

On the server, we are running an Nvidia Grid K1, which is the top recommendation from Microsoft. I was not able to install the latest Nvidia driver, because it says the OS was not compatible. The only driver I was able to install successfully looks like it was from 7/2/2014 - 340.52. This is the only thing I could think of that would not allow RemoteFX to function properly. If this is most likely the cause of the issue, any information on a workaround would be great. I have tried to manually install the driver through Device Management, but it says that the driver is not compatible also.

I know my question is not specific, but I'm hoping that if nothing else, Microsoft becomes aware that the advertised improvements in 2016TP are not working - at least in our environment. I would have thought there would have been much more documentation about workarounds that might be required for the Grid K1, since that is the top recommended card, but I found nothing - Nvidia doesn't even mention 2016TP. My thought is that if the issue is the graphics driver, then Microsoft would have had to work closely with Nvidia on the driver, and there would be documentation somewhere.

I have been looking forward to the RemoteFX improvements in 2016 for many months, so it is pretty disappointing that I'm not seeing any change in performance.

Hi! 

Recently we set up a little RDS2012R2 farm with few session hosts and one broker. On my win10 and some of win7 machines we can see option Reconnect to Work Resources in system tray RDS icon, but on most of our machines this option is missing. It is critical option for our users, we need provide the ability to restore all running remote applications on the users desktops with one click.

Please, point me to a right direction, i have no idea why on some machines option is present and why is not on others.

RemoteApp Login Without domain or UPN

Hello,

We're building and RDS environment and are running into a use issue we don't like.  We're going to serve RemoteApps strictly from the Web interface.  We have the login working without requiring the domain to web but can't seem to get the RDP login to work without requiring the domain.

I've tried to set the customRDP settings but they never make it to the RDP file that is downloaded. 

Set-RDSessionCollectionConfiguration -CustomRdpProperty "use multimon:i:0`nusername:s:DOMAIN\"

I've also added to the RDS HA Database and tried the domain custom property as well.  Nothing seems to work.

I followed these directions for the web, and they worked great: msfreaks.wordpress.com/2014/07/22/properly-removing-the-domain-prefix-requirement-from-rd-web-access-2012-r2/ 

Does anyone know if it's possible to get this to work?

RemoteApp Feed not working

I've set up a single Server 2012 R2 Gateway/Session/RDWeb server. At some point during setup, the WebFeed stopped working and I can no longer connect using the RemoteApp and Desktop Connections control panel or the Remote Resources connection in the Mac RDC client.

Trying to connect to https://domainname.com/RDWeb/Feed/webfeed.aspx receives an Error code: "0x80040205, 0x1F4" on Windows connections and nothing on the Mac except an empty Remote Resources list.

Looking at the inetpub logs, the following events are recorded during the connection attempt:

The 401 entries lead me to believe authentication is being denied somewhere for some reason, but I haven't been able to figure out where.

Looking at the server's Security log, I see the logon attempt followed immediately by a logoff notification. I see the logon attempt is using NTLM:

Detailed Authentication Information:
    Logon Process:        NtLmSsp
    Authentication Package:    NTLM
    Transited Services:    -
    Package Name (NTLM only):    NTLM V2
    Key Length:        128

Any help is appreciated.

RDP Client Flicker on Windows Server 2012 R2

I can't be the only one experiencing this issue.  When 2 people connect to our Windows 2012 R2 server, the 2nd person to connect has issues with their screen flickering continually and making it unusable. The first user has no visual impalement to their display. 

After researching and playing with settings for over a week I re-enabled UAC on a whim and the issue is gone.  Why would UAC have any effect on a users RDP connection.  There should be no access issues, both users logged in have Administrator Privileges and experience no issues when they are on alone. Again disabling UAC and the issues are back.

UAC serves us no purpose considering the size of my company and offers only roadblocks to our processing.

Limit number of sessions per user or group

Hi.

I´m working on a project where I need to allow multiple sessions ( already done ), but limit the number of concurrent sessions on a RDS farm...

At the moment, we're using only one RDS server ( R&D stage ), but in the future, there'll be a farm with RDS Connection Broker and many RDS Session Hosts.

I've come to the conclusion that the best approach is to create a custom GPO, apply to the RDS Session Hosts, and use a vbscript or powershell to block the logon when the number of sessions reaches the defined limit.

I'd like to achieve a group based ( Groups: 1RDSsession, 2RDSsession and so on ... ) user logon limit. I have some ideas in mind for a single server, and a possible solution for a farm.

But before spending time on this "adventure" ( I really like this kind of challenge :) ), I'd like to know if Windows2012 provides any means for doing this kind of control.

I know there's a per server sessions limit, but that doesn't solve my problem.

Thanks in advance!

Options for redundant terminal servers

We recently spun up 2 new terminal servers running server 2012.  We want to install the RDS CALs in such a way that if one is offline it won't affect the other.  I would have set up the DC as the license server, but the DC is running 2008 R2 and a quick search tells me that while 2012 CALs can be installed on 2008 R2 it downgrades them so they wouldn't work with 2012 RDS.  Is there a way to share the CALs between both terminal servers so that if one goes down the CALs are still available to the other?

Wildcard Certificate Name Mismatch With Round Robin or NLB DNS Record

March 18, 2016, 10:42 am
$

Spent (wasted) about 20 hours or so trying to resolve certificate issues with RDS 2012r2.

Currently I have decided the best approach would be to get a SAN certificate from a 3rd party service that contains 2 wildcard certificates (*.domain.net, *.internal.domain.net) (the second was a screwup from the guys who originally built the domain, all internal FQDNs are server.internal.domain.net). The common name on the certificate is *.domain.net.

My understanding would be that any server with an FQDN of *.domain.net or *.internal.domain.net would be covered by this certificate. Currently I'm only working with internal addresses so only the *.internal.domain.net is relevant.

I have Windows NLB running on two servers that are both Connection Brokers, Sessions Hosts, and Web Hosts with HA configured between the Connection Brokers. The NLB DNS A record is 'RDAPP' pointing to the correct IP. (Note: I have done this with round robin to the same result)

When I connect to 'RDAPP' via RDP I am given the Name Mismatch prompt

"Requested remote computer:

RDAPP

Name in the certificate from the remote computer:

*.domain.net"

When I view the certificate I see in the "Subject Alternative Name"

DNS Name=*.domain.net

DNS Name=*.internal.domain.net

The FQDN of the NLB DNS name is RDAPP.internal.domain.net which should be covered by the second wildcard. 

The Certificate is correctly installed on all servers and clients used for testing. I've tested also on a linux thin client non-domain joined and get the same mismatch. 

Let me know if I'm missing something simple or what else I should try next. Really out of ideas here. Have used every type of certificate from our internal Root CA, have tried multiple 3rd party certificates in various formats. My original farm worked fine but it crashed and burned due to the silly 2012 architecture and the 3 other farms I've brought up have this same issue.
