Two RDS sessions on one computer with different users

December 21, 2016, 6:46 am

Hi,

The message I get :Another user of your computer is currently using this connection. The user must disconnect before you can log on. 

This is when I try to log on a second user on one single computer to the RDS gateway server. What I want is to connect user A on the remote desktop on client A and than also connect user B to Client A. This because I want to have one person to control 2 different users on the RDS.

It's not 2 RDP sessions to a windows xp or a Windows 10 Client. It's connecting to a Server 2012 R2 as a Terminal service. Only the problem that we experience is that when we connect to the RDS gateway service I'm only allowed to connect with one user on a single computer and not two users ( 2 different RDP sessions ) the RDS gateway isn't allowing it.

With kind regards,

Bob Puts

RDS with One Server DC VM and One RDS VM under Server 2016?

December 25, 2016, 7:52 am

Hi,

We have a medical office of 5 locations that has come to enjoy the benefits of RDS/RDP over the MPLS and in the office where the server resides, but it is Server 2003 and it is time to move on.

Having pretty much ignored the changes since 2003 except for two other single location offices with RDS 2012 I am in the dark if RDS 2016 will work as a single VM in the same/similar way as 2012.  Any suggestions you can offer to make this seamless to the users (except for the interface of course) would be appreciated.

So far the plan is:  Purchase new hardware and a license for Server 2016 Standard.  Purchase Server CALS for each user and RDS CALS for each RDS user.  In the 2003 era we used device CALs because the thin clients remained fairly static and the staff rotated between offices, but administrators logging on from various locations caused the license count to be off so we wound up with more licenses than needed for the number of users involved.  Haven't decided to migrate or start fresh... that is TBD.

On the new hardware, a VM for the DC and a VM for RDS... which sounds easy but each time I did the 2012 RDS servers I had to rely on step by steps as it is NOT straightforward iirc.  Any links to making this work would also be appreciated.

Lastly, anyone know of a chart that shows what thin client OS's will work with Server 2016 RDS?  We discovered on another migration from 2003 to 2012 that some versions of HP thin clients worked UNTIL we added licensing, at which point they stopped working.  I am fairly sure that we will need Windows 7 Embedded or newer, but what about the various manufactures non-Windows thins?  We need terminal emulation for this client who also connects to their AIX medical app, as well as RDP and a reliable internet browser.  We have come to like HP Thins, but not opposed to Wyse.

Thanks to any one who can help with this.

Need help with remote Desktop Client access

December 15, 2016, 12:22 pm

I am investigating moving one of my larger clients to the Amazon Web Services Cloud. I have set up a Windows 2016 Server instance (virtual server, I think) that I would like to use as an "Application Server". There will be about 20 users that need to "RDP" (or whatever the new terminology is) to run a desktop application.

I have been assured that I will need 20 Remote Desktop Cals. Amazon does not provide these or set them up. I have been reading the Microsoft documentation (I am not a server administrator), and I am totally confused.  Partly because most of the documentation refers to Windows 2008 or 2012 servers.

AWS Tech support has not been at all helpful on this issue. If you can help in any way I will be grateful.

remoteapps going through the gateway for local addresses?

I have a windows 2k8r2 and a windows 2k12 r2 remote desktop setup publishing the same remoteapps. Both setup, we have bypass gateway for local addresses checked but for some reason, remoteapps on the 2k12 r2 server sometimes go through the gateway for a some of our offices. When i switched them back to windows 2k8r2 server, it bypasses the gateway correctly. How does it determined whether it's a local address or not? And why does it works sometimes but not others? Thanks

How can I determine who is running a remote app

December 23, 2016, 6:56 pm

I am currently considering a migration from citrix XenAPp to pure RDS and remote apps. However, in testing on this one thing I am not able to do is see who is connected to a specific app and manage them.  If I can do this with powershell that is fine, however I am not seeing it.

For more clarification, I have 8-10 apps that users are in all the time.  In citrix I can select an app and see connected users.  From that I can send a message, disconnect, etc for that app specifically.  I don't want to necessarily terminate all of their sessions as I may be doing maintenance on one specific app.  Also, in citrix I can enable/disable one specific app not the entire host or anything like that. 

Was really hoping to give up citrix but I am getting a feeling that may not be feasible as I continue testing and working through things with only RDS.  I am open to suggestions and any guidance.  If you want to take things offline please let me know.

RD Web connectins bypassing RD Gateway Settings.

Hi,

I've enabled the "Connect to other PC" tab in the web access and have also configured the RD Gateway settings under the Configure deployment options, however clients are able to connect to PCs that are not in the RD Gateway RAP.  My Goal is to only allow connections via RD Web(Connect to Remote PC) to those PCs listed in the RAP. 

I'm thinking that I may be contradicting my self because I've allowed Domain Users when configureding the RD web Collections. Hopefully someone can help me figure this out. 

Thank you very much.

Port 3389 not listening

February 10, 2011, 5:06 pm

Windows Server 2003R2. Terminal Services is installed and started. Remote Desktop is Enabled. In the Terminal Services Manager session window, RDP-TCP is shown as being in a listening state. But when I run netstat -a, port 3389 does not show up. RD client cannot connect. Telnet or ssh to that port does not connect.

TCP is working fine: I can use logmein to view the server; I can VPN to the server, I can look at SMB shares once the VPN is up. No TCP filtering is active. The Windows Firewall is not active.

How can I get port 3389 going and be able to RDP in?

 

The registry is still showing port 3389 as the listening port.

I have removed and re-created the RDP-tcp port without any trouble and without success. The properties are set on defaults.

Remote Desktop devices in the device manager show as operating fine.

It used to work fine and just recently (sometime in January) it stopped working. As far as I know, no new software was installed at that time.

I have reviewed a bunch of stuff found in Google but none of it seems to help, so far.

How to hide external HDD drives connected on win 2008 r2 server through USB on the rdp session of Limited user ?

I want to hide external hard disk drives connected on win 2008 r2 server through USB on the rdp session of Limited user (non-administrator). When a administrator logs on to the server through he should see all the drives (Removable Hdds and Pendrives) and could access them. When a limited user logs through he should see the internal drives of the server (as he has rights). Please note that a external Hdd gets different drive letters when connected at different conditions.

I am not a expert person so please be lenient and tolerant while answering.

Issue with User Profile Disk in RDS 2012 and Excel files

Hi All,

Very strange issue. 

I have brand new RDS server 2012 R2 without User Profile Disks (UPD) enabled - all excel files are working fine.

Once i enable the UPD some excel files are not opening and the error is "The file is corrupt and cannot be opened". 

If I remove the UPD, the same excel files are opened without a problem. This is with Excel 2013. Tried to reinstall the Office, check the permissions of the UPD location - everything seems fine.

Any suggestions ?

Thanks

Idle Time reset for all users at logon

When I run a 'query user' command to get the idle time for each user, I have noticed that it gets reset back to 0 when a new user logs in. This is a problem because our session timeouts never kick in, even if a user actually is idle. Every single time a user logs on it resets the counter for everyone.

Has anyone seen this behavior before or know how to prevent it? We have idle users who are never kicked off the server because the counter keeps getting reset.

RDS deployment misconfiguration

December 19, 2016, 8:14 am

Hello all,

I deployed a 2012 R2 RDS server a few months ago, and it's just now getting its first users. However, I realize now looking at it that I made a mistake in the deployment process and I'm trying to recover it. Instead of doing the RDS deployment (quick start or standard) and installing all roles at once, I just selected the session host by itself in the standard add roles wizard. As such, I can't manage the deployment via server manager because it states there is no deployment present.

To try to correct this, I added the gateway, broker, and web access roles to have them all present for a deployment, but that doesn't appear to have rectified the issue. It's curious, though, because using Server Manager to try to manage the RDS deployment, it states that a deployment does not exist. If I go through the wizard to add a deployment, it states a deploymentdoes already exist, and even finds the broker automatically. 

So, here are my main questions:

  • As I have all roles installed, is there a way to make them understand all the pieces for a deployment are available for management? 
  • If I re-run the wizard and select the same server for deployment, will it redo the installations, or update them? 
  • If the installations are re-done, what happens to my existing applications that are already available on the host? 

I know this is a gray area, but if I can avoid re-doing the deployment entirely, that'd be ideal. 

Thanks.

DirectAccess not working

I have 1 server on windows server 2012 R2 that does DirectAccess and a VPN. However when I go under operational status it has a error next to Network Location Server and when I click the dropdown it says:

Error:

There is no response from the network location server URL. DirectAccess connectivity might not work as expected, and DirectAccess clients located inside the corporate network might not be able to reach internal resources.

Causes:

1. The network location server website is unavailable.
2. Network issues are causing connection issues.
3. The network location server is not running on a highly available server.
4. The IIS server is unavailable, or there is no response from the network location server URL.

Resolution:

1. Configure the network location server on a server that is highly available to clients on the internal network.
2. If the network location server is running on the Remote Access server, ensure that IIS is running, and that the URL is available.

Server 2012 with Windows 10 clients - 1 client works, the other does not

December 11, 2016, 5:51 pm

Hi,

Having an odd problem with a small deployment of Remote Desktop.

Server 2012R2 RDP server, 2x Windows 10 remote clients connecting via a SonicWall VPN

All was working fine until recently, when one of the client stopped connecting. As the other client still connects, I susspected an issue with the client config. So simply wipped it and rebuilt using a from the box Windows 10 install, connected via the sonicwall, joined the domian, installed the SSL certificates.

However the issue persists. When I go to control panel->RemoteApp and desktop connections->Access RemoteApp and desktops.

Then complete the URL (identical to working PC, same case etc.) I get the ready to setup connection screen, however as soon as I click next on this screen I get "an error occured. Contact your system administrator for assistance." there is no pause whilst it goes to check the server, this error appears instantly. The pc is able to ping the RD server by name without any issues, and ns lookup correctly returns the address of the server as well.

If I replace the FQDN with the IP, then click next, after a few seconds and a progress bar, I get a certificate error  which is correct as the certificate contains the FQDN.

This suggests that the remote app setup is not able to connect to the FQDN, however, as I say it is exactly the same on the other working PC. There is no av installed yet (appart fromwindows defender) and I have tried disabling the firewall - to no avail.

I'm reluctant to change settings on the server as the other machine is still working fine.

Open to suggestions - thanks in adance for taking the ti e to read this.

RDP to Terminal fails with one public IP, but goes through with another?

Hi Guys,

So we have a terminal server with a different public IP set for each service provider to remote into it. Recently we were not able to remote in using the IP we mostly use, so we tried the other and it worked. I've checked Firewall, NAT policies are in place as they're suppose to, as far as I can tell nothing changed. On the server itself I see Schannel error event ID 36888 around the same time we were trying to access but scrolling down this error is happening a LOT of times, but never seem to affect the RDP access. Also this would affect the RDP regardless of which IP one is using to remote in right? What should I be looking for in this case?
Win server2008 R2

Thank you!
