Windows Server 2012 r2 - Remote audio not always comming through to client

March 23, 2015, 9:12 am

We have a Windows Server 2012R2 server running on VMware vSphere 5.5. When connecting with a RDP client, the audio redirect is established each time (playback & recording), but remote audio doesn't always play and recording isn't registered. It works like 3 out of 10 times a user logs in, user independent.

Sometimes when the user logs in it works, but most of the time it doesn't. When it works, the audio bar in the "playback devices" window lights up like it should. This is not the case when it's not working, it does display the remote audio device but the audio bar remains faded when sound is playing.

So its like the audio is playing, but not on the "remote audio" devices, even though it is the only one listed in the session.

  • Desktop experience feature enabled
  • Windows Audio & Endpoint Builder services are set to automatic
  • Enabled local policies: Audio & video redirection, Recording redirection, Playback quality - high
  • RDP client config: audioqualitymode:i:1
  • USB headset both Logitech and Plantronics
  • Client independent: HP Thinclient (win8.1), and two Fujitsu desktop (win7) - fully up-to-date
  • RDP client file version 6.3.9600.16415

How can i troubleshoot this any further?

Task you are trying to do cannot be completed because remote desktop services is currently busy

I have an odd issue connecting thin clients to a new 2012r2 RDS Farm.  

I have ~200 Wyse thin clients using remote apps to a farm of 5 Term Servers..  Connections work fine, no issues with connectivity.

We are wanting to use a pure RDS environment, so we have provisioned a 2 server farm for testing.  All connectivity is internal.  Thin Clients are in Appliance Mode, so they power on, user logs in, Client starts RDP to server.

At first connection, the trust warning is provided.  If we check the box to not display the message again, this first connection is made, user logs in.  All is good.

When the user logs out, connection is cleared from the collection, and client powers down.

Next login, user logs into client, RDP session starts, message "Task you are trying to do can't be completed because remote desktop services is currently busy".  Note that there is only this test user connecting to servers.  It shows that user has logged into the collection.  At this point, we have to log the user out of the collection, and have them reboot the client.

Now at the above mentioned Trust warning, if we do NOT select the "do not ask..." box, and it displays the warning, we select continue, it makes the connections without issue.  So we only receive the message if we select the "Do not ask for future connections" button.

I am at a loss.  I am NOT a term server guy, and my consultant that has done our original setup here, and the new setup is stumped as well.  

Any help appreciated!

Help accessing Remote desktop web access through internet explorer?

Hi guys,

I am trying to access my work remote desktop through a company web access site - eg ts.companyname.org on a personal laptop 

I use internet explorer v11 and the RD Web access is running Windows server 2008 R2 

I am able to log in to the remote desktop system but when i try to connect to a specified terminal server and error displays stating

your computer can't connect because no certificate was configured to use at the Remote Gateway sever, please contact service administrator.

I have used this numerous times successfully before, and never had to configure a certificate before.

I wondered if this is something that needs to be fixed from my end, would some change likely caused this?

or would it need to be fixed by my company?

I'm afraid i'm not very good at these things so any help would be greatly appreciated!

Login script to set NumLock results in user logged off

My client is using RDS on Win2016.  The users are connecting mostly via Chromebooks. They need the NumLock button enabled during the RDS sessions. Setting the "InitialKeyboardIndicators" registry key on the server for does not work. 

I then wrote a script:

set WshShell = CreateObject(“WScript.Shell”)
WshShell.SendKeys “{NUMLOCK}”

and then used a GPO to run it per https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc770821.aspx.  However, when the script finishes the user is automatically logged out.  Since the script takes about 1 second to complete the user session is useless.  Is there a better way to run this script at logon to the RDS session?

Thanks,
Joe

Problems enabling 3D acceleration using DDA

January 26, 2017, 8:41 am

Hello,

We have a Windows 10 Pro x64 Gen2 VM on Hyper-V Server 2016 with a graphics card assigned to the VM using DDA. We have managed to get all that working successfully, the card is installed with the latest WHQL signed drivers and we've successfully run a number of 3D tests and confirmed a four to five times increase in framerate over what we saw when we ran the same VM using RemoteFX (for additional clarification, we're not using RemoteFX any longer, it was used simply to get a baseline performance comparison using the same hardware in a different configuration).

However, when testing a number of features such as GPU accelerated browser features, media playback and some testing tools we've found that Direct3D seems to be broken. Taking a look at DXDiag we can see that DirectDraw acceleration and Texture acceleration are both 'Not Available'. Attempting to inspect the graphics configuration leads to problems, as you can't access 'Display adapter properties' from an RDP session. Using the Hyper-V Management Console and direct connecting to the VM only allows us to access and edit the display properties of the 'Microsoft Hyper-V Video' adapter. We can disable that in Device Manager, but then when we attempt to open 'Display adapter properties' it shows the adapter as 'Microsoft Basic Display Adapter' - it has reverted to the basic display driver because the Hyper-V Video adapter has been disabled, but hasn't/isn't able to shift over to the dedicated DDA graphics card.

So how do we set the DDA graphics card as the primary/sole adapter? And can we bypass the RDP restriction disallowing adapter property access? Or is there some other way to force enabling full 3D graphics card features on a VM if you can't remove the Hyper-V Video adapter?

Thanks,

Trevor

Problem with printer drivers

January 24, 2017, 4:08 am

Hi,

I have a Windows 2003 Terminal Server server. Clients connects to it with RDP, to use Office applications and view PDF Files. The server has a number of different printer drivers installed. For example:

- HP Laserjet 500

- HP color Laserjet 200

- HP Universal Printer Driver PCL5.

And about ten more drivers.

Clients connect to server and have diferent printers, each with each driver. The problem is that, whatever model of printer the client has, with whatever driver it has installed, the mapped printer in the server takes the HP 500 Driver. So every single printer mapped in the server, is being mapped with the HP 500 driver, despite the server has installed the correct driver for all the printers.

How can I achieve that if I use in a client a printer which driver is installed on the server, the server maps the printer with the correct driver instead of the HP 500?

Remote Desktop Service Session Host - Server 2016

I have a customer who would like to be able to run a 3D application on their Remote Desktop Session Host environment.
The have VMware 6.0 running on the hardware and are running two RDS Session Hosts servers on top of that.

I found that RemoteFX is supported by Server 2016 with Nvidia K1,K2,K5000,K6000 etc. cards.
I have read article about that it's possible to leverage GPU inside RDS Session hosts on 

My question is. Is it possible to install a GPU for example Nvidia K1 and use that to leverage remotefx in server 2016?

Kind Regards

RemoteApp GPO is not applying for users without local admin access

January 30, 2017, 4:53 am

My organization is planning on deploying AX 2012 R3 Client via RemoteApp for all our users. I am currently testing this out with RDS installed on a single Windows 2012 R2 Server, but in the future I will set up a new Server 2016 RDS environment for this.

I am having issues publishing the RemoteApp URL via GPO to my users. It will only work if the user has local administrator access on their PC. This cant be how it's supposed to work? I am planning on deploying this to hundreds of users! If the user manually adds it into the Control Panel Item it works. They are asked to log on once, and they just use their own credentials and it works fine.

The event log tells me this. "Windows failed to apply the {4D2F9B6F-1E52-4711-A382-6A8B1A003DE6} settings. {4D2F9B6F-1E52-4711-A382-6A8B1A003DE6} settings might have its own log file. Please click on the "More information" link."

Notes:
- I have figured out that the GUID the RemoteApp settings.
- The GPO shows up as an applied GPO in gpresult /h.
- I am sure I have seen the error "access denied" somewhere but I cant remember where now.

Reference to this thread where another admin had similar issue: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/21362dc1-24be-48ff-8447-2ca80d068d8c/rds-remoteapp-url-gpo?forum=winserverGP#21362dc1-24be-48ff-8447-2ca80d068d8c

Anyone have a clue of what may cause this? Why does this only work for users with local administrator access? Is there maybe some other GPO that blocks it?

Terminal Server loads temp profiles

January 10, 2017, 6:36 am

Hi Guys,

We are experiencing an issue with one of our terminal servers were if we have more than 60 connections they all load into temporary profiles. We have done the usual of removing the sid from the profilelist in regedit, Remove the user account folder and we have replaced the default profile many times. It just seems once we have that magic 60 number it refuses to let another load his profile. The server has loads of resources and it's not under any load.

I have a license of 75 per device cals installed so im within my limit. It also shows 4 temporary device cals are issued is this normal?

Its Server 2008 r2.

Sorry any profiles beyond the 60th connection loads into a temporary profile.

I also get these messages even though it says i have 15 licenses available.

The Remote Desktop license server "MSK-TERMSERV-04" does not have any remaining permanent licenses of the type "Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2 : Per Device CAL (TS or RDS)". As a result, the Remote Desktop license server cannot issue licenses of the type "Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2 : Per Device CAL (TS or RDS)" to the Remote Desktop Session Host or Remote Desktop Virtualization Host server "MSK-TERMSERV-04". To resolve this problem, verify that the Remote Desktop licensing mode configured on the RDSH or RDVH server matches the type of licenses installed on the Remote Desktop license server. If required, purchase and install additional licenses as needed for this Remote Desktop license server.

Multiple RDS deployments same forest

January 9, 2017, 2:38 am

The setup has:
-2x 2012R2 server with the session host role configured
-1x 2012R2 server with the gateway, webaccess and connection broker installed
-1x domain controller
-1x application server running a SQL database

A application is published on the RD Web Access server, the users are only using the remote app to connect. 
-The web access URL: tenant.fabrikam.com
-The gateway URL: tenant.fabrikam.com

The plan is to setup a multitenant environment, the others customers need to access a different domain/URL, for example:  tenant.contoso.com

An option would be to add a second RD Web access website to the existing RD Web Access server, however the preferred way is to add a second RD Web Access server. But the problem is the RD Gateway is also installed on the same server and has the wildcard certificate.

For the reason above i think the best option is to deploy a new RDS infrastructure (Gateway, Web Access, Connection Broker and Session hosts) that uses the same AD domain and is able to use the same application server. 

Is it possible to deploy multiple remote desktop services in the same forest?

Server 2008 R2 Default printer problem

I have 4 Remote Desktop servers. All are running Server 2008 R2 Datacenter. All connections are run by a broker for load balancing. All of the users use Folder redirection for the user profiles. 95% of my users connect through a thin client device and only a handful of users connect using a PC. When the users log in their default printer changes to the local Docuware Printer PS. It doesn't matter what printer you choose when you log out, the Docuware printer is always default when you log back in. We have been using Docuware for several years and only in the last two months has this been happening. At first it was just one or two users. And now it has spread. My first thought was that there was a GPO that was causing the problem. I have looked and I do not have a GPO that is pointing to a printer. Everything for printers is not configured. I have scoured the internet for answers and only find old info about hot fixes and other garbage. All of my servers are patched to the current release. I am at a loss. Any ideas?

Is there a way to locate my Remote Desktop Licensing Server?

Hello,

Let me give you some context:) I'm new in a company. We have a medium size environment and we still use Server 2003 Terminal Server for user access.

We've added a few 2012 RDS Servers to replace the old TSs and ran into a brick wall with licensing. 

As far as I know, there is/was a licensing server hidden somewhere, but I don't know where.

Is there a way to locate that server? A Powershell command maybe?

Or if I connect to a 2003 TS, is there a way to find out who issued its license?

Can't change RDWeb password for non-admin accounts

I have enabled the password change option for Remote Desktop Web Services in Server 2008 R2 and applied the necessary hotfixes. I can change admin passwords, but am unable to change any user/non-admin passwords. When I do, I get the following error message:

Your new password does not meet the length, complexity, or history requirements of your domain. Try choosing a different new password.

No matter how complex I make the password, it still gives me that error. I understand that I may be able to change the "Password must meet complexity requirements" group policy option, but is that the only way? Even then, why wouldn't a very secure password work for non-admin accounts?

Hello,

Can we use high availability with two servers.

one server hold All RDS server roles(Licence, Session host, Connection Broker, Gateway).

I referred on Internet for guidance. But most articles have provided details to use two or more server for one RDS role.

It's high cost solution and most of organization consider cost effective solution.

If anyone know best cost effective solution, Please provide that.

I have a Windows 2012 RDS environment using a licensing server.  Currently, we have 100 RDS CAL being installed on the licensing server. 

I just setup another 2012 RDS environment and add the same license server to it and we plan to use 20 RDS CAL out of it.  When I run RD Licensing Diagnoser, I am seeing the number of licenses available for client is still 0.  

How do I assign license from that pool?

Please advise.

Moving user profile disks in a 2012 R2 RDS environment

 have a situation whereby we have deployed a 2012 R2 RDS environment utilizing user profile disks.

Everything has been good so far, except I stored the UPD's on a share on the the DC, so I'm seeing intermittent AD issues due to the NIC on the DC being throttled.

I have deployed a new VM specifically for the purpose of holding the UPD's, however I don't know (and cant seem to find) a straight answer to whether or not I can just move these puppies and get away with it.

I assumed the process would be copy the .vhdx files from the source location to the destination, share the new location, then edit the collection settings in RDS changing the 'location' value under 'User Profile Disks', however nowhere seems to be able to tell me this with any degree of certainty.

I have read articles which suggested people have seen permissions errors and such like with UPD's which got me a bit itchy, as this is a production environment.

Any suggestions/advice appriciated.
