Changing default name of Easy Print Printers

$
0
0

Hello everyone I'm hoping someone has ran into the same issue as I have and found a solution. Maybe this is a quick answer. So far my searches have yielded nothing.

The issue I am running into is with 2012 R2 Easy Print printer names. We have an application that stores specific printing preferences inside the application and whenever a user logs back they end up getting a new printer name because Easy Print does printer naming like "Fax (redirected nn)."

In other products we used like TriCerat ScrewDrivers you can set the default naming up to use something other than the session number; such as "Fax (%username%)." However I can't find any equivalent setting for Easy Print. Has anyone ran into this issue and what have you done to resolve it; short of telling the user to just deal with it.

Thank you.

Hello:

When requesting a 3rd party cert for our RDS deployment, is it done in IIS, MMC/Certs, or other?

Any additional info will be appreciated!

Windows 2012 r2 RDS connection broker HA

$
0
0
In RDS 2008 R2, I can setup a farm with a DNS round robin of rdsfarm.xxxxx.com that points to all the session hosts. If the broker fails, the farm can still function but without session redirection. In RDS 2012 R2, i can't seem to configured that. The way i understand it, is that if you create a connection broker with HA you can specify the farm FQDN aka rdsfarm.xxxxxx.com but it only suppose to point to the connection brokers not the session hosts like in 2008 R2. If the brokers or sql server failed, then RDS won't work. Is that correct? thanks.

2012R2 RDS Farm Issue

$
0
0

We have a farm setup with 4 terminal servers connected to a central SQL database for HA.  One of these servers is currently disabled so 3 are active.  All connection brokers are connecting to SQL ok as I can see the connections in Management Studio.

We are having a strange issue where redirection is only going to one of the servers.

I have found a setting in the SQL rds.TargetProperty database for the ServerMaxActiveSessions and it is set to 0 for the 2 that aren't getting connections.

1) Are we looking in the right area for this issue.

2) Where else should we be looking to fix this behaviour.

RD Licenses not being issued

$

I have a 2012 R2 standard server hosting RD Licensing.  I have installed two sets of licenses (100 & 75) for a total of 175.  Of the group of 100, all have been issued with no remaining.  There is another group of 75 that remains available but unused.  All of these are per-user cals. They are Volume License program cals. 

When I open licensing diagnoser from another server it correctly shows that I have 75 available cals.  However, none are being issued.  Existing cals are being renewed correctly.  

running the powershell command: Get-RDLicenseConfiguration returns: Not Configured (I don't know if that is relevant).   I don't think this is a new issue,  but something that has recently become noticeable. 

Are multiple groups of licenses supported in Server 2012 r2? How can I enable the other 75 cals for issuance? 

use redirection server name with TS client active x control?

Hello, in an rdp file I can put: use redirection server name:i:1

When I use the TS client active x control, this setting is no where to be found. 

Could someone set some lights here? I am able to do the following:

.MsRdpClientShell.SetRdpProperty "use redirection server name", 1

But I have to use Launch instead of the Active x "Connect" , making all my remote desktop events no longer work. How do I achieve this? 

Folder Redirection not working with UPDs on RDS 2012

I cannot post any images, as my account isn't yet verified (first post)...

Hi Technet

I've added User Profile Disks and checked every tick for "Store only the following folders" on the RDS:

[Image of the RDS UPD SEttings]

Everything works as expected. But with tihs configuration most of the private data are stored within the UPDs. Therefor I want to redirect the "personal folders" to our NAS.

As in previous infrastructures I used the folder redirection policy. As a test, I tried only to redirect the "Music" folder:

[Image of the Music-Redirection-Folder-Properties

I linked and the filtered the policy as follow


Now, when I log in as any user the music folder isn't part of the UPD anymore: The "Music" folder is missing the link-arrow but still points to C:\Users\%username%\Music. But as in the first screenshot stated "all other folders are not preserved". And that's exactly what's happening. If I save something in the folder it's gone.

But I thought with the Folder Redirection Policy those folders are redirected to the designated root path - and that's exactly what's not happening.

I tried the following types of Root Folder for the policy:

  • local path (on the RDS where the UPDs are as well) for "root Path" like: D:\Users
  • Share \\NAS008\PersonalData\Users
  • DFS \\ad.example.com\Personal Data\Users

I've added the RDS-Server and even the DCs to Security Filtering of the policy (I remembered something of Merge).

I gave full access to the Root Path to everyone, to authenticated users, to domain users

I have no clue, why my Music-Folder isn't redirected.

But I know the policy gets applied as I made a Test-Shortcut on the Desktop which gets created:

[Image of Shortcut Polcy with rresult on desktop]

What am I missing?

Many thanks!



RemoteFX: 3D Adapter is Greyed Out (still cannot figure out why)

$

0

Hello,

I am running Windows 2012 R2. I am running it on a Dell T420 Server. I bought a new EVGA GT 730 4GIG Card.

My CPU is SLAT Enabled, and I can see the Card listed under the Hyper-V Hosts / Settings / Use as a RemoteFX Card.

I installed Remote Desktop Services / Virtualization Hosting etc.

However, in the VM itself the option to Add the Hardware is greyed out.

I have tried this with

  • Windows 10
  • Windows 8
  • Windows 8.1 (Enterprise)

No matter what, it is greyed out. The card is supposed to be RemoteFX capable, so I do not know what test to run. Unfortunately the page I keep seeing listed (the blog) has been migrated and I cannot find the current version of it.

I have read a lot of docs, but they all take about the Blob that isn't there any more, and nowhere can I find an actual solution to this.

I am willing to try whatever /. anything at this point

Thanks!

The RDVGM kernel mode driver failed to start.

I'm running Windows Server 2012 R2 with VDI using Windows 8.1 Enterprise client VMs.

When a user attempts to reconnect to a previously disconnected session, the RDP connection fails and a large number of the following critical errors are logged on the VM in Microsoft-Windows-RemoteDesktopServices-vGPU-KModeDriver/Admin (Event ID 1):

The RDVGM kernel mode driver failed to start. The VM will not run with RemoteFX. If this issue persists, consider running with a lower number of monitors, resolutions, VMs, or increasing the GPU capacity.

At the same time, the RDS Host server logs a large number of these errors in Microsoft-Windows-Hyper-V-VMMS/Admin (Event ID 32615):

The RemoteFX Manager process stopped working and has been restarted. VM computer: <withheld> VM ID: <withheld>.

Restarting the VM resolves the issue, but that also logs off the session that the user tried to reconnect to.

Things I've tried so far:
- Increase the resolution of the RemoteFX adapter, giving it more VRAM
- Enable Migration Compatibility on the VM Processor
- Tried using both older and the latest graphics drivers for the NVIDIA Grid K1 GPUs.

Any ideas?


Problem using SetWindowPos Windows function in Windows 2012 R2 Remote Desktop farm

Good morning,

we've deployed a custom Delphi application which call SetWindowPos Windows function (code is SetWindowPos(Self.Handle, HWND_TOPMOST, 0, 0, 0, 0, SWP_NOMOVE or SWP_NOSIZE or SWP_NOACTIVATE) to keep on top the active Window.

It is now used in windows 2012 R2 remote desktop environment.

It works (like in previous Windows version) but sometimes the non-topmost windows is displayed on top instead of the topmost Window. We've found the same problem in Windows 2008 R2 (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2733420) but it seems that no patch are available for Windows 2012 R2.

Thank you

Renewing SSL Certificate causes additional Windows Security login to appear for Remote App

$
0

I am running Remote desktop Services on a Windows Server 2008 R2. I have several customers that have been running remote apps via RDWEB for over a year now with no problem. Last night I installed a renewed server SSL certificate to replace the expired one. I then applied that certificate to Digital Signature Settings in Remote App Manager. Also I applied it to the RDP-TCP properties in Remote Desktop Session Host Configuration. I also imported the certificate in the Server Properties in RD Gateway Manager.

A long time Windows 7 customer who runs a remote app through Internet Explorer has no problem with the initial login to the Session Host.

BUT when he clicks on the icon for the remote app he was running just yesterday with no problem...he is now confronted with a new Windows Security login screen that again asks for credentials to log in to the Server. That additional login screen does not pop up when I try to access his login from my Windows 10 machine. This Windows security screen does not accept the same credentials he uses for the initial Session Host login via Internet Explorer. I am stumped. Must I delete and recreate the Remote App that he is using? Did the renewed Server Certificate cause this problem?

Thanks.

I have one physical server to install GW, web, and broker roles. Should i install hyper-v and create two VMs (one for GW and web, another for the broker) or install all three roles in the physical box? As far as windows licenses, we are allowed two VMs so that's not a problem. thanks.

I have not configured Remote Desktop Services Correctly on a Server. Clients connect to this server, they get a desktop and run programs from the desktop.

Error:

The licensing mode for the Remote Desktop Session Host server is not configured.

The Remote Desktop Session Host server is within its grace period, but the RD Session Host server has not been configured with any license server.

What I have tried:

I have added a license server. It has 10 Open per user Licenses installed and it is activated. 

I have tried to delete L$RTMTIMEBOMB…..” at HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\RCM\GracePeriod\

There is no servers in the pool.

Can someone please point in the right direction?


2012 RDS User Profile Disks

$
0
0

I have a setup, where for no reason, sometimes the users login to the server and instead of there being a virtual drive icon on their users folder there is just a folder icon. The users can also then not delete any documents on their desktop. There aren't any errors in the event log in regards to a temporary profile, and their profile disk is locked when I go to look at them as well.

I cannot pinpoint why this happens, but usually more than half the users (10) get this error.

I have all 2012 R2 servers, with a domain controller running AD and the connection broker service, and a data server with the ts licensing role and the UPD san share mapped to it. There is then only one RDS as I had a vm group but Chrome was filling up the CPU to 50% when one user was browsing so I had to use the whole physical server 16 cores and 160GB memory to utilise the GPU and change the configuration so that Chrome wouldn't kill the CPU and cause delays.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

RemoteApp not presented properly w/ Store App

Anyone know why the Windows Store "Microsoft Remote Desktop" application doesn't present RemoteApp applications properly?  Launching the app via the downloaded rdp file from the RD Web Access site functions as expected.  Launching an app via the Windows Store app presents the entire session with the single app.  Also, the folder structure isn't present in the Store App.

Windows Store App:

Hello,

A few months ago I installed RDS on a virtual Machine in HyperV and I had failed errors installing the Virtualization Host role, so Ia have to install RDS on a Physical Machine.

I want to ask if now is possible install Virtualization Host on a Virtual Machine on HyperV or still is a physical machine required?

I will appreciate any advice.

Best regards,
