Dependency on backend session host server to run gateway farm

$

0

Hi,

Environment.

  1. 2x RDG Servers with WebApp role installed
  2. 2012 R2 SERVER01.domain.local - 1x Server with Connection Broker, Session host and WebApp - 2012 R2
  3. SERVER02.domain.local - 1x Server with Connection Broker, Session host and Web Access - 2008 R2

We had an issue with SERVER01 at the weekend and while it was offline, noone could access the gateway servers at all, coming up with an error "there is a problem connecting to the gateway server". It didnt matter what resource they connected to through the gateway, the message was the same.

I want the people to be able to use the gateway servers independently of any other servers in the environment. Have I set things up wrong or is there a problem here?

Thanks a lot, Brendan


Got "RPC server is unavailable" error when configuring user profile disk to use a samba share

I mostly followed this guide (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/rds/archive/2012/11/13/easier-user-data-management-with-user-profile-disks-in-windows-server-2012.aspx). The file server is samba based.

I've verified below two cases:

1. I could map the share to a local drive from windows and create/modify files/folders without problem.

2. I could set the disk path to a windows share.

PS C:\Users\Administrator.000> Set-RDSessionCollectionConfiguration -CollectionName "Test Session Collection" -EnableUserProfileDisk -MaxUserProfileDiskSizeGB 20 -DiskPath \\remote-file-server\data2
Could not create the template VHD.
Error Message: The RPC server is unavailable. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800706BA).+ CategoryInfo          : InvalidResult: (:) [], WorkflowTerminatedException+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : JobStateFailed+ PSComputerName        : localhost
I am using Windows server 2012 and Samba 3.6.

Does anyone know what the error means and how to resolve it? Thanks.



urgent help needed: system doesn't add next VMs to "managed virtual desktop collection" creation fails with event 15090 "failed to modify resources"

in my office, i have deployed a test VDI scenario with server 2012 R2.

all RDCB + RDWeb + RDVH are installed on one server.

i have a sysprepd Generation1 windows 8.1 VM as template VM in my hyper-V console which is in shut down state.

using create virtual desktop collection option, i am creating a "managed pooled virtual desktop collection" and i have selected that system creates 2 VMs for me.

at the end of the "managed pooled virtual desktop collection", system stops on the VM creation procedure.

i has created 1st VM and has turned it on and VM booted and mini-setup done. 

but it doesn't create the 2nd VM and stops in that state for ever.

i checked RDVH event log and i found this event 15090  :

'pool-vm2' failed to modify resources. (Virtual machine ID CF2DB197-613D-4E0E-9DC5-CB11B3286580)

i have to cancel the task and system removes that VM.

why system stops in that state ? what does it mean here :  failed to modify resources ?

really need help.

thanks in advanced


Where do I find the Remote Desktop User CALs after purchase from my vendor?

We have recently purchased RDP user cals for thin clients to be used through out our facilities. We have not received any license or reference number to apply to the RDP server to activate or reflect that we has 80 available user licenses. We have the order listing in our Windows Volume License Portal, but that is the only reference to the users cals we see.

Are we looking in the wrong place?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Unable to launch DCOM object on server 2008 and 2012 when the server is in Disconnected mode

$

We are migrating our applications from server 2003 to 2012 and 2008,  We are facing some issues with our legacy applications that use Com, com+ and dcom architecture.

DCOM settings

a) Identity - Interactive User

b) Remote Access - Allowed to all users

When we connect to server using remote desktop services,  DCOM components can be successfully invoked.  However, if we close the remote desktop session, and the server is in disconnected mode the client applications can't invoke the DCOM.

Can someone tell me what setting I should change so the component can be initiated while it is in disconnected mode?

Thanks very much!

RD Web Access - Pass through Credentials on Connect to Remote PC Tab

$

Hello,

I have implemented 2012R2 RD Web Access/Gateway, and everything is working fine.  The only thing I do not like is that when you go the the Connect to a remote PC to connect to a server, you have to login once for the RD Gateway, and again for the server. Is it possible to pass through the Gateway credentials to the computer login for non-domain computers?

This works as expected from the RemoteApps and Desktops Tab.

Thanks,

Kevin

"there are no available computers in the pool. Try connecting again " error in VDI 2012 R2

$

Hi friends

in my office, i have deployed a test VDI scenario with server 2012 R2.

all RDCB + RDWeb + RDVH are installed on one server.

i have created an unmanaged pooled session collection and inside it i have added a windows 8.1 enterprise generation2 VM.

from a client i browse to RD Web page with domain\user1 and when i click on collection name, RDP to that windows 8.1 is established without any problem.

now the problem is when i sign out from that VM and also sign out from RD web page and this time login to RD web page via domain\user2 and i click on the collection name, i get this error:

 "there are no available computers in the pool. Try connecting again or contact your network administrator"

i checked out event viewer in my RDVH server and i founded this errors in event log:

Event ID 1296 : remote desktop connection client failed which getting redirection packet from connection broker.

user: mydomain\user1

error: element not found

after about 5 minutes or if i restart that windows 8.1 VM and i again click on collection, everything works OK.

because of this strange behavior, i haven't deployed it in my production network, because users can't connect to the VM which previous user was logged in till some minutes 

what is the problem ?

thanks in advanced

vdi infrastructure: how many vdi's are in use?

So i think the title would allready explain what i mean.

We have a vdi infrastructure, and i'm trying to find out how many vdi's are in use at any given moment.
However, i cannot find any reporting for that.
so for now the only way to see how many machines are in use is by looking at the console and look how many users are logged on there,

does anyone know of a report or tool that gives me the ability to see how many users are logged on at any given time?

Server 2016 Technical Preview 4 - profile disks not working?

$

I performed a fresh install of server 2016 tp4 and was excited to test the remotefx enhancements with pooled desktops. I setup a vanilla Windows 10 1511 template and sysprepped. I went through the wizard to configure the VDI pool and setup profile disks with the correct permissions (meaning I created a user profile disk share on a file server and gave full access to the server). I for the life of me cannot get profile disks working properly. Each time I log into a pooled desktop it creates a temp user profile. I have even started over from scratch, and reconfigured everything and profile disks do not work. Can someone else test this?

Migrate Windows server 2000 TS licences to Windows 2012 R2 RDS licensing manager?

$

Hi all,

I have a client that is running an old Compaq ProLiant ML530 Server.

They are running Windows Server 2000 on it!!!
It is used as a TS license server.

Is it possible to migrate the licenses to a new server with Windows 2012 R2, without receiving any major disruption?

I can only find answers that it goes to a Windows Server 2008.

Would be nice to be able to help them before someone closes the door too hard. :)

Grateful!

What does one need for the most basic RDS environment?

$
0

Hi everybody, 

unfortunately I wasn't able to find a conclusive answer to my question yet and https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2833839 only got me so far.

I need to set up a fairly basic RDS environment in which eight users need to connect to a Windows Server in order to run a number of applications in a remote session. Remote desktop sessions would suffice, I do no intent on deploying virtualized desktops.

Since we have an extremely tight budget, I'm looking for the 'smallest' solution possible in terms of licensing cost and hardware. So far, I came to the conclusion that I would need to get one Windows Server 2012 Standard licence with 8 RDS CALs. Unfortunately there is no DC in the network as of now. Can such a RDS environment be deployed on one instance of Server 2012 Standard? Would it make sense to use Hyper-V in order two virtualize two servers and how could that setup look like? 

Thank you in advance! 

After Changing Published FQDN we receive error in Web Access: unable to exchange policies

2012 RDS Setup

- 1 2012 Server with Gateway, Connection Broker, and Web Access roles on it

- 1 2012 Server acting as a Session Host

I was able to connect through Web Access to the desktop of the session host server. However, we receive a certificate error.

To fix the cert error we tried to change the published FQDN Name with the powershell command Script from TP/Microsoft: Set-RDPublishedName.ps1. This script worked and the FQDN name is changed, but the connection from Web Access doesn't work at all anymore. We are getting the error message "Your computer can't connect to the remote computer because the Remote Desktop Gateway and the remote computer are unable to exchange policies...".

If I configure a RDP connection instead of going through Web Access I do not get this error.  

Thank you in advance for any advice regarding these problems.

Modify Office 2013 software installed on RDS servers

$

We currently have 3 RDS servers in production and all servers have Office 2013 installed. What we have found is that this software also has Lync (Skype for Business) and One Drive installed. We need to remove these applications from Office 2013.

My question is "Do we have to put the RDS servers in install mode before proceeding" or could we just make the change in the software w/o doing this first. We need to select "change" for Office 2013 and then select these 2 applications and mark as "not installed".

I know there are many documents about putting these servers into install mode when installing software, but there really isnt anything for uninstalling software on a RDS server

Thank you in advance for your help with this.

On-Screen Keyboard

$

Hi,

We are running several RDS 2012R2 servers and some users need to use the on-screen keyboard.
I've created a tile linked to OSK.exe and they can also use the search field on the right-hand side to type and search for OSK.

On all servers users will get the error: On-screen Keyboard does not work any more / Cannot start on-screen keyboard

When an administrator starts the osk it works fine.

How can we make sure users can use the OSK?
