Is it possible to configure a web version of remote desktop published with a console icon?
Wondering if when adding remove desktop services role if it is possible to create a web page console and publish a console.
The server is running the application that has the console.

In order to create idempotent systems than can operate in the cloud, am seeking scripts that will install and configure different components of remote desktop services such that they can operate in the cloud. As I have reviewed many of the tools from Microsoft, they all seem to require input (i.e. cmdlets) to interact with. I am seeking to find an ability to NOT have this, such that it can be automated w/o any intervention.
Is this possible?
Hi,
I am getting this message in the application event log ( relating to IIS) when trying to connectusers to our RDS environment from a trusted domain. It was working earlier in the day and the domain trust is working fine on all servers as I can add and remove users from file shares to test, as well as search the trusted domain list.
A work around seems to be an IISreset on the gateway server, but that is not good as it kicks existing connections off.
Is there anything else I can check on why the trust fails after a period of time? I am running RDS GW on 2012 R2, with 3 x 2012 R2 session servers, and both AD's are 2008 R2 in different forests.
DNS forwarding is setup and both domains can ping eachother servers without any problem.
Thanks

I am considering creating the following setup
The Windows 2012 R2 installation will come as part of the Cloud VPS package I will be getting from Vultr.
It is not clear to me what MS licenses I need to get for this setup. My understanding (imperfect) is that I will require 1 Client Access License for each user. Just how will this work
Each Windows 7 client will need to have the license somehow installed there? If so, where does that leave Chromebook access?
This is configured entirely on the server?
I found a mention somewhere that Microsoft CAL comes in 10 or 20 user variants. Given that I need more than 20 how do I go about doing things?
I'd be most grateful for any advice.
Hello dear technet
We're deplyed TErminal Server structure for a client (Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter) with one farm (separte connection broker server with 2 RDSH servers). Client machies are t520 HP Flexible Thin Clients (HP Easy Shell configured as kiosk mode so user just typing his username and password in simple RDP wondows and connects to his desktop)
Everything is good. System is working normal. But
today we wanted to force users to change password by clicking Must change password at next logon. Every user got an error
It doesn't matter whether NLA is turned on or off. A user gets this message upon login.
I read a lots of material about this, Some resources (including this forum) advice to user Wndows Server 2003 RDP Security Layer
Some advice to use Enabling the RD WebAccess Expired password reset option in Windows Server 2012. Must tell that this is not an option here because Thin Client does not provide any other app but RDP.
And some resources advice enablecredsspsupport:i:0 in RDP settings First of all I'm confused because all RDP settings of HP easy Shell stored in Registry. So I couldnt find a way to input this line into RDP settings. But this was ok from a normal computer
So my question is .. Is here any official resource pointing that there is no way to change password via RDP?
PS: wanna force client to use RDP security Layer but he is asking for official link

i'm running a Win 2012R2 RDS/TS in the local domain everything is working just fine
then i tried to connect a few clients from another location (clients all run win7 sp1)
i configured the remoteapps
logged in with name and password,
its showing the apps etc
but when i try starting them i get the error
"rds gateway server temporarily not available"
pings between the client and the TS work fine
added my server to the host file at the client
added the routes to the gateways at the client
installed neccesary certificates to the client
portforwarded 443 & 80 from server
the IIS seems ok and in the defaultapppool the 32bit is disabledanyone has a clue why its not working? did i miss anything?

We have a Terminal Server running 2012R2 with an Access-based program installed using Access Runtime2k3. We are noticing that when users execute the program for the first time, the program runs through an automated first time configuration, after which the user is prompted to restart the system to complete the setup. If the user clicks No, the program opens and runs fine, but if they click Yes, the entire server restarts.
We need to find a way to prevent the users from being able to restart the server as this would completely interrupt other users that are logged in. We have already modified several Group Policy settings to prevent users access to Shutdown and Restart options, as well as prevent them from opening the Run dialogue box. We have also modified Local Policies of the Server to specify that only administrators have the ability to shut down the server, however, when this program runs the first time configuration and prompts the user for a restart, it seems to get around all of that.
Is there some other GPO setting that would completely prevent a system from being restarted by a standard user, even if the restart is initiated from a program that the user has access to? Is there a way to possibly prevent the program from prompting for user input? The users have a desktop shortcut that points to a .adp file so I'm thinking some kind of quiet switch /q or something that could follow this and prevent user input we could possibly try?
I'm trying to set up an RD Connection Broker for RemoteApp, but I'm getting an error when I try to create a self signed cert for the RD Gateway:
The self-signed certificate has been successfully created, but RD Gateway cannot store the certificate in the directory C:\Users\myuserid\Documents. Please specify a different directory, and try again."
I tried other directories, all of which I have full rights to, but still no dice. I can't find anything with this error. Any idea how I can get past it?
FWIW, I have no problem logging into this server through RDP.
Thanks.
Hi,
We are looking at implementing some RDS servers, but we need to control access based on IP.
Let my try to explain :)
For example user1 and user2 is from companyA, user3 and user4 from companyB. The all log into the same RDS server, but companyA should only be able to contact server 192.168.1.1 and companyB should only be able to contact server 192.168.1.2.
Our firewall guy, say that he can controll this if each company/group get individual ip addresses, then he can control wich IP they can contact. So my question is then, could we assigning individual IP addresses to each user or group ?

Hi All
It seems that we are unable to see any info under processes tab when we run tsadmin.msc remotely - This works fine if logged on locally to the server but we connect via workstation (RD) - windows 10 - Everything else works ok
Thank you
Through reading web pages and this forum, I have found that you can configure a license server by doing the following...
cd Import-Module ServerManagerbut I can't find descriptions for the settings for the last command? what are they
Using RDS 2012 R2 server, we are deploying 4 or so printers via group policy.
When a user sets them to default printer and logs off, when they log back on the default has changed to another non mapped printer (local printer).
Do not set default client printer to be default printer in a session is enabled in GPO.
Tested the same outcome on a 2008 r2 non rds server as well.
We are trying to migrate our Terminal Services to a Windows server 2012, but keep our Server 2008 Session Brokers and Terminal Servers. Is this possible?
Our original configure for Terminal services was simply
2008 R2 Server had installed the RDS Licensing and Connection Broker roles
On this server we simply added the our servers to the respective Session Broker Computers and Terminal Server Computers groups in the Local Groups on this server. And activated licensing.
On the 2012 server is was an easy setup, but I do not see where to add the 2008 session broker and terminal servers. I finally got them to show in the objects wizard, but it said that the RDS had to be on a 2012 or greater OS.
How can I get this to work?
We encounter a reconnection problem to disconnected RDP sessions.
We have 9 users connecting to a RemoteApp this works.
All the 9 users close the app and leave a disconnected session, disconnected sessions are not logged off and is set to 'Never'.
When all the 9 users reconnect to the RemoteApp approx 6 to 8 users reconnect to their disconnected, we see on the broker it redirects them to their disconnected session on the terminal server.
But approx 1 to 3 users are redirected to their session by the broker to their session on the terminal server but they get almsot disconnected instant , the remoteapp does not start/open.
When we click for a second time on the remoteapp in the RDWeb it opens instant.
In eventvwr on the TS we see "The Desktop Window Manager has exited with code 0xd00002fe"
Problem: broker redirects user to their session on the TS but user gets disconnected.
What we tried:
- Use TCP only for RDP
- NTLM v2
- installed all updates on all TS servers
- installed all applicable recommended hotfixes on all TS and broker and RDweb server
- disabled NLA
- disable Receive Side Scaling
- disable chimney

I am using windows server 2012 r2 with MS Exchange 2010. After installing Exchange, The RDP app(Mac) keeps having connection drops.
I can ping the server and it answers(with a reasonable ping of 15-20 ms).
I don't know if exchange is running.
Does anyone have ideas? It's driving me crazy!!
* I do not have direct access with the server - it's somewhere else
Hi
We have recently replaced an old Win2003 Terminal Server machine with a new Win2008 server. The old Win2003 Terminal Server has 2TSCAL. We activated the new Win2008 Terminal server and installed the new RDSCAL client licenses from our purchased 'Windows Server 2012 RDS CALEmb 5Devic'. Everything went fine with the new Win 2008 Terminal Server.
However, when we asked Microsoft for assistance to migrate the 2TSCAL from the old Win 2003 to the new Win2008 server, Microsoft requested for the “Microsoft Open License Purchase Order Confirmation” of the new RDSCAL we have purchased. I told microsoft that we did not receive any“Microsoft Open License Purchase Order Confirmation” when we received the RDSCAL license. We recieved only the a paper "Client Access License" agreement showing the OEM Sofware sticker with Product Key.
I was not asked by Microsoft for “Microsoft Open License Purchase Order Confirmation” when I installed the RDSCAL license to the new server. They only asked the “Microsoft Open License Purchase Order Confirmation” when I am about to migrate the 2TSCAL from old server to the new Win2008 server.
Has anyone has experienced this situation?
May I know how I can resolved this issue.
Thanks,
Victor
Is it possible to have multiple RDS servers and have users redirected to the correct server when using the basic remote desktop client?
To expand on this, let's say we have ts1.domain.local and ts2.domain.local. I have some users setup on ts1 and some users setup on ts2. Is there a way to have either of those FQDN's or some other FQDN that we designate (RDS.domain.local for instance), automatically route the user to the appropriate server that their supposed to be on? Hope that makes sense. Thanks!
Hello
Our environment consists of a two node Hyper-V Cluster and a single Server as Connection Broker and RD Web Access Server. All Servers are Windows Server 2012 R2. In general, everything works fine in this Environment.
The Hyper-Guests (Windows 8.1) in the pooled collection are configured with two NIC's. The first NIC get's the IP address from a DHCP Server and the second get configured by a powershell script. This script is attached to a Group Policy as a startup script and runs every time the Client ist started. So far, so good.
The pooled collection runs with the Option "roll back virtual Desktop" enabled. This roll back works fine, but after the rollback the Startupscript from a GPO won't get run.
My question is, how can I force the script to get run the same way as when I reboot the Client?
thanks for your Inputs,
Juerg
