Licensing servers in a forest/tree environment

$

0

Hello,

Can Licensing servers installed in the forest root be used from the subdomains (with two-way trust enabled)?

Say our forest root domain is local.net. We installed a pair of licensing servers, activated, and added required number of licenses. Can we use those servers from dev.local.net subdomain as well?

PS: Everything is under Windows 2012 R2.

Thank you.

I have a TS license server with 2 sets of RDS licenses installed but only one set is being counted against.

I have another set of licenses to install but don't want to install before correcting this issue. Any ideas?

RemoteApp GPO is not applying for users without local admin access

$

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?

Mstsc log off session

$

Hello.

I have 2 types of computer (15 machines in all) under windows 7 pro 64 which connect in TSE on a Windows Server 2012 via scheduled tasks at 8h55 and disconnected in the same way at 9pm.

One of these types of post (7 machines out of the 15) disconnects in case of inactivity on the server.

I realize this by doing a "Query session" on the server.

I checked in:

Application logs and services \ Microsoft \ Windows \ TerminalServices-LocalSessionManager \ Operational on a Sunday when all compurter are inactive.

The session log off occurs after 2h - 3h - 4h never the same but always round hour (not 1H15 min..)

The Gpo server side is the same for everyone so I deduce that it does not come from the server.

I have of course set my power modes by removing the hard drive / shutdown.

If I take control of a computer client with Teamviewer that "query session" show log off, i seemy session server screen but nothing reacts and finally the screen change and ask me for my login / password session.

So the mstsc doesn't close but it end connection after round hour time.

I tried a scheduled tasks that ping an ip every 30 min but doesn't change anything.

Any suggestion ?

Sorry for my bad english

RDS Windows 2012 SSO question

Sorry mods; posted this originally in Win10/Security first but the question may be more relevant here?

Hi,

We're running the following:
*Win 10 Ent 1607 (Current Servicing Branch)
*Win 2012 RDS that is accessed by internal users only. 

Issue:
SSO works fine from either a deployed published shortcut or via the Web Access server. However, as soon as Credential Guard is enabled SSO fails. Has anyone else come across this?

Thanks,
Kevin

I checked all GPO (many times), checked all settings in rdp-client, checked all settings in RDS HOST configuration. Everything looks fine. 

Clipboard is working. Second server (w2003) in the same OU is working normaly.

Problem with printer drivers

$

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?

Documentation Request RDS Prerequisites / Single Server Setup

Hi,

the RDS sites https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windowsserver/ee236407.aspx and https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh831447(v=ws.11).aspx lists some articles for 2012 R2, other links even end at 2008 suggestions. The 2016 documentation is not up to date there.

I am searching for the current statement about installing the Session Host on a Domain Controller. Is it officially supported but not recommended like in this link:https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc742817.asp in Server 2012 / Server 2016 ?

Or did Microsoft consequentially drop this Scenario? I cannot find a hint in the role requirements.

Remove CAL pack from TS Licensing server

$

Hi, 

I've got a customer with three licensing servers... WS2003, WS2008 and WS2012. 

Recently they bought 20 CAL per device 2016 licenses. During activation proccess there was a mistake and those CAL where installed on WS2003 Licensing Server, instead of WS2008 server... 

I've been trying to talk with Clearing House and tech support to remove those licenses from WS2003 licensing server... And no one knew how to do it... 

The only solution they gave to me was migrating licenses from WS2003 to WS2008, but I guess that proccess migrates all the licenses, and you need to deactivate WS2003 server... That's not an option to this client.... 

Can anyone provide me some help?

Thank you very much, and sorry for my english... 

2012 R2 RDS Temporary Profile issue

$

I have set up a standard 3 node 2012 R2 RDS for testing. All virtualized on VMware ESXi 5.0. I have a connection Broker, session host, and web access server. I have published several applications and I can access them without a problem. Here is my issue:

When I try to log on to my session host server either locally or thru RDP, I am always logged in with a Temporary profile. It does not mater what user account I use. Even logging on locally as the administrator I get a temporary profile.

All windows updates are installed and current.

I have removed the server from the domain, deleted the account, and rejoined it to the domain.

I have deleted all .bak registry entries from here:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList

There is a hotfix here for a similar issue on 2012 but it does not apply to 2012 R2

The only event viewer errors are:

1515 (Windows has backed up this user profile. Windows will automatically try to use the backup profile the next time this user logs on.)

1511 (Windows cannot find the local profile and is logging you on with a temporary profile. Changes you make to this profile will be lost when you log off.)

Any suggestions to resolve would be greatly appreciated.

Poor performance with RemoteApp compared to RDP

$

We have an application that has very poor performance and freezing when using RemoteApp's.  When the application is run through RDP (full desktop or single app) the performance is great.  We are also using a program to publish the application (2X). When the application is published as a single app, the performance is poor and freezing issues occur.  If we publish a full desktop using 2X, the application performs as normal.

It seems the application only performs poorly when it's not contained in a re-sizable window.  At anytime there is a re-sizable window around the application, it performs perfect.

Has anyone experienced anything like this?  The application works great through RDP but we need a different solution. 

RD Gateway server could not create tunnel.

The user "domain\user", on client computer "193.xxx.xxx.xxx", was not authorized to connect to the RD Gateway server because a tunnel could not be created. The authentication method attempted: "NTLM" and connection protocol"HTTP". The following error occurred: "2147965433".

Any ideas?

  • Clean install,
  • godaddy cert.
  • Windows 2012 R2 Standard
  • 1 Broker, 1 Gateway, 1 Host on the same server.
  • Client uses windows 10 

When connecting via RDWEB, the login prompt is displayed. When logging in after clicking on the rdp file the mstsc connection window freezes for a brief second, then the pop up below appears: (google translated)

Your computer can not connect to the remote computer because the server Remote Desktop Gateway expected a different authentication method than the one used.

1 CAP, 1 RAP. Policy set to allow Domain Users, user is member of Domain User and Admins.

Also saw the following Warning:

RDPClient_SSL: An error was encountered when transitioning from TsSslStateDisconnected to TsSslStateDisconnected in response to 25 (error code 0x8000FFFF).

local config for Wyse ThinOS and Microsoft Server 2016 RDS session-based

$

Hello community,

i want to use Dell Wyse Model N06D (3030LT) with ThinOS 8.3.011 to connect to a connection broker of Microsoft RDS with a collection of apps.

I do not have any FTP-Server or Virtual Desktops. How can i configure the Wyse client locally to connect successfully? Is it possible to configure the Wyse Client to display a login window after boot where you have to log in and then you can see your applications published through the RDS collection? Or are there some requirements like virtual desktops?

I made the config for Microsoft as Broker Type and as Host the Connection Broker Server. I imported the certificates for the servers but i still get the error "RD Broker Sign On failed". The event log of the wyse client did not have any entries but the security event log of the connection broker logged my user successful and in the same second logged him off.

Also my global.ini field is empty and cannot be edit. Is it possible to give the client an ini-file without FTP Server? In this forum i saw often specific lines for the ini, for example the option "VDIBroker", but only with FTP. 

Why is EFI Partition Showing up as a Drive?

Hi,

Running 2012r2 in a hyper-V VM.

I ran some updates this past weekend and now my RDP clients are see the EFI Partition as a drive. They have no access, but it uses a drive letter that we use for other things. In Disk Management, the partition is there but it is not assigned a letter, even though it appears in explorer.

How do I re-hide this or at the very least change the drive letter?

Thanks,

Jeff


To enable multiple RDP sessions for a single user in a terminal server

Hello Team,

In our environment, we have set a group policy setting from Domain Controller such that each users can have only a single RDP session to a terminal server. 

But now we are having a requirement such as some users alone would need to have multiple RDP sessions for the same user account in the terminal server.

So could you please let me know if it's possible to implement the  below in anyway.

1. To create a group policy setting, such that user's of a particular group can have multiple RDP sessions for his user ID in the server

2. All the remaining users should have a single RDP session access alone to the server.

Server OS: Windows server 2008 / 2008 R2

Thanks in advance and please let me know if you require any further information.

Regards

Issues printing to Wyse terminals

$
0

I started at a manufacturing facility and they want me to get the system on the production floor back up to speed.  At one time they tell me the printers used to work but for the life of me I can't figure out how.

There are two versions of Wyse terminals on the production floor UNIX and Ubuntu.  Each terminal has a small Brother QL-500 label printer connected via USB to the terminal.  All of the terminals connect to a Windows 2008 R2 Standard server. 

I can see that the terminals recognize that the printers are plugged in, and Printing is NOT disabled on the server, but the very best I can get it to do is send a test print and the Brother printer will blink fast indicating an error.

If this was a RDP from a PC to a server I don't think this would be a problem, but the terminals are driving me crazy.  As a matter of fact while you guys are chewing on this I am going to bring up a PC and test that.

Nano Server as an RD Virtualization Host

$

I have a Nano Server running as a Hyper-V host and is functioning properly. I have a Windows Server 2016 with Desktop Experience server running as an RD Connection Broker and Web Access server. I would like to add my Nano Server as an RD Virtualization Host server, but it fails the compatibility check with the message "The server must be joined to a domain." Both servers are members of the same domain. 

This also generates an error in the event log when I attempt to add the server:

"Validation error: Nano1.<my_domain>.local: The server must be joined to a domain."
Log Name: Microsoft-Windows-Rdms-UI/Admin
Source: Rdms-UI
Event ID: 4099

Am I doing something wrong or is it not supported to use a Nano server as an RD Virtualization Host? I'm guessing the "UI" part of the error message means it is trying to run something on the Nano server that isn't there, but why? If I can use it as a Hyper-V host, why not Remote Desktop Services? 

Thanks!

Remote Desktop and Apps 2008r2 Vs 2016

$

Hello

We currently use 2008r2 to run a single Remote Desktop Server. Half a dozen staff or so may need to log in to it to use a couple of specific MS Access databases for brief periods of time over the course of a day, and a specific few for an accounting program.Most are setup with an RDP file for RemoteApp mode.

I've spent about an hour searching the web for information about 2016 RDS and cannot find alot about it. References to 2012r2 describe that the .rdp file is now gone as a method for RemoteApp. And I can't seem to find any description of RemoteApp mode for Server 2016 at all?  I keep encountering descriptions of needing to setup whole VDI images. I really like the simplicity of our RemoteApp mode approach because we are not a huge user base, but I don't want to go to managing all kinds of full operating system images just to deploy a single app.

Could someone point me to something that offers a clear comparison of the transition from 08 to 16? Is RemoteApp as one would know it in 08r2 completely gone?
