Hi,

I'm running a self hostes Windows 2012 R2 Server with RDS at the Moment. Now I'am at the Point to migrate it to Windows Server 2016.

I Need to decide which Infrastructure I Need to use. I'd like to Change to a cloud Environment. If I use Azure I Need to Switch to RDS Services, AD and VPN - it seems very expensive. On further Research I read about RDmi which Looks like a smart solution.

Is there a date, when it will be public available? Or is there even a Beta / Preview program so that I can test, if this solution will fit all my Needs? Several anouncments said it will come in Q1 2018 - but I also read one, which said it will come in Q4 2018.

Where can I get more Information on the Release / Preview / Beta / ...

Thanks in advance!

RDS access right / authorization anomaly

August 2, 2018, 11:34 am

We came across this RDS access right / authorization anomaly two days ago.

A user in the AD wanted to open an RDS session in a server (let's call it serverA) which is Windows Server 2012 R2.  He got the following message:
"The connection was denied because the user account is not authorized for remote login."

This is normal because his AD account was not a member of "Remote Desktop Users" group in serverA.

I then added his AD account into the group. *Four hours later*, when he tried to open an RDS session again, he still got the same error message!

I have gone through everything, every group, etc but I could not find the reason.  Then I took another computer, told him to log in and then told him to open an RDS session from there to the same serverA.  This time it worked!  And almost immediately when he tried to open the RDS session again from his own computer, that worked too!

What the hack is this anomaly?  Was there a workaround without having to have another computer to open RDS session first?

I think if he had closed and re-opened Windows session in his own computer, that would have worked too.  But of course, he had too many programs running at that time that it was impossible for him to logout & login again.

And I also think this issue is similar to "network shared folder still rejects access" issue:

simply put, it's like this: a user was rejected when he tried to access some network folder without authorization.  Then the access was later on granted by domain admin but all his attempts to access the same folder are rejected.  He has to reopen his Windows session to get around this.

Are these two issues all related to problem in Kerberos?

Hello All,

I am suddenly having this issue occur. To preface the pc's are fully updated and this problem did not occur after the last applied updates.

I am on a win 10 pro desktop I use Netgear vpn client to create a vpn tunnel to my office network.

From there I open a rdp connectio to a pc at the office once I log in a security alert message displays on the remote pc desktop. I click OK and continue working but I want to know why this is occurring on every remote pc I log into I am assuming something on my pc has changed because this behavior occurs on all the networks I connect to.

Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.

How to force RDS to use TLS1.1 or 1.2 for Windows server 2008 SP2

Hi All

Is there any way to force the RDS of Windows server 2008 SP2 to use TLS1.1 or 1.2?

Microsoft has released an update to add TLS1.1&1.2 support for RDS of Windows server 2008 SP2, we can safely disable TLS1.0 without breaking RDP connection after installed this update. However, since many other applications on server still need to use TLS1.0, we have to remain TLS1.0 for other applications and force RDS to use TLS1.2 to meet PCI DSSv3.2 policy.

As checked RDP-TCP property with "tsconfig", there is only 3 options for security layer(RDP security layer/Negotiate/SSL/TLS1.0) and cannot set TLS1.1 or 1.2 here.

Is there any way to set it in registry, group policy or other places?

I am using a remote Server 2016 VPS from a provider and wish to configure a  user account Test to terminate after 1 hour of being disconnected. From the server Admin account I have accessed Computer Management -> Local Users and Groups-> Users -> Test and in the Sessions tab of account properties set Ends a Disconnected Session to 1 hr. However, the disconnected Test session does not close after 1 hr of disconnection. (As shown by Task Manager-> Users which shows the Test account in a disconnected state after more than 1 hr of disconnection.)  I have restarted the server and disconnection still does not occur after 1 hr. Is there something else I need to do?

Configure licencing with Office 365 Enterprise E3

Hello folks, we have been advised that a Microsoft Office 365 Enterprise E3 licence comes with a Microsoft Remote desktop services cal.

My question is about how to configure the licencing module of Terminal services. When you install Terminal Services on either 2012 or 2016, and come to install licences for remote desktop users, how do you make terminal services aware that you are using an Office 365 Enterprise E3 licence, not the normally purchased Remote desktop cals.

When you start the add licence wizard, you need to supply things like agreement numbers etc but obviously Office 365 does not come with such agreement numbers.

Can some one advise  / assist on this matter?

2008r2 Full Desktop, with 2016 Gateway and RDweb

Hi,

I'm trying to setup a 2008r2 session host full desktop, with a 2016 RDS gateway and RDWeb.

On the 2008r2 session host, 3389 is currently open to the world, and putting this in front of a gateway is a stopgap before we migrate fully to 2016.

I have followed this guide, and have managed to get the 2008r2 session host appearing in RDWeb, but cannot figure out how to get the RDP file to include the gateway address.

Hi,

We have a RDS server ( Windows Server 2012 ) connected to a DC controller ( Windows 2016 ) : frequently users can't login because domain can't be reached.

We already pushed the server in the domain again but problem remains, the events logged are

- 36887 schannel

- 1061 : remote desktop session host server was unable to retrieve users licensing information from AD. Error 0x8007054b

- 5719 NETLOGON

After sometime ... adn without changes users can login again.

What could the problem be and how could we solve that ?

Best regards

Connection to a RemoteApp program from within an RDP session does not work if the user has a startup program defined in the user profile

August 9, 2018, 7:26 am

Hi,

Connection to a RemoteApp program from within an RDP session does not work if the user has a startup program defined in the user profile.

I'm using Windows Server 2012 R2. I used calculator as the RemoteApp program to verify that it's not a problem in my custom program.

1st scenario - works:

1. Connect to the server using RDP (no RemoteApp) --> Desktop opens
2. From the RDP session, try to make an RDP connection using RemoteApp. I'm using a pre-configured RDP file with remoteapplicationmode and remoteapplicationprogram parameters and I'm connecting to the same server in this example --> The RemoteApp screen appears and after entering credentials the RemoteApp program opens

2nd scenario - does not work:

1. Using an admin account, on the server, go to local user management and set a startup program for the user that is used for the test, cmd.exe for example (Environment tab --> Starting program --> Start the following... --> Program file name ="cmd.exe").

2. Connect to server with the test user --> cmd.exe opens

3. Try to connect with RemoteApp like step 2 in the previous scenario --> the RemoteApp screen appear but the program does not start, after a while the session closes.

I checked using ProcMon and the Event Viewer and I see that a connection is established, but for some reason the program does not start (rdpinit.exe should start the program, but it doesn't - I don't see any call for CreateProcess).

Is this a bug in Windows?

Thanks,
Gabriel

Server 2012 R2 RDS - Redirected printer from Mac OS client problem

September 17, 2017, 5:54 pm

Hi All

I've got a user working remotely outside the corporate Office. They've got a Canon MF720C Series printer.

I went to the Canon website, downloaded both the Windows Server 2012 R2 driver and the MacOS driver. I injected the printer into the Server 2012 R2 box (broker, gateway, session host etc all running on 1 machine) using the "Add dummy printer method".

I then added the printer using the same driver (but the macOS variant) on the client's Mac. I confirmed all the latest versions of windows updates are installed on the terminal server and that Mac OS and RD Client on Mac OS are all up to date. I also ensured printer forwarding is enabled.

When the user connects from the mac to the Terminal Server - the printer doesn't show up. So I checked the event log. Neither the Application nor the "System" event log show anything useful. However, the "TerminalServices-Printers log shows this:

Event ID: 1108
Configuration information for the Canon MF720C Series (redirected 126) printer could not be restored.

So the printer is definitely getting passed through - it just isn't showing up.

Does this indicate a driver version mismatch or is it something else? PS - redirecting printers works perfectly on Windows clients.

Windows Server 2012 R2 - lost RD "Installed RDS Per Device CAL" licenses.

August 3, 2018, 11:10 am

Greetings.

I work in an industrial facility, where we have several devices connected via RDS to a VM running Server 2012 R2. 

This Monday (7/30/2018) a technician had to cycle power on one of the devices (a thin client) and when it rebooted it would not reconnect as normal.  This failure stopped production for nearly three shifts - which is pretty significant.

The Event Log entry said "RDP: No valid license available".  I logged on to the server and found that ALL of the licenses in the "Installed RDS Per Device CAL" group were gone - the group was empty - and that all the devices were now showing up in the "Temporary RDS Per Device CAL" group.  All the devices licensing in the temporary group were also expired.

After working with MS clearinghouse folks, I was able to figure out how to deactivate and reactivate the license server - and install new licensing - but I am now obligated to tell my management how we can prevent this from happening again.

So, my problem statement is something like: "At some point in early April (or late March", we 'lost' the retail purchase "Installed RDS Per Device CAL" licenses - and so, all the devices switch to temporary licenses.  When those temporary licenses expired, we were vulnerable to losing connection - should power be cycled on one of the devices.  We did, eventually cycle power on one of the devices - which shut the system down.

So, I am reaching out to Microsoft to help determine why the licenses just "disappeared".

Thank you!!!!

RDS 2016 HA and SQL

August 3, 2018, 9:59 am
$

Looking to add HA to an existing RDS 2016 environment for about 50 users. Obviously, for RDS HA, the SQL database becomes a point of failure.

My question has to do with setting up SQL as a cluster as simply as possible, as this is a fairly small RDS environment.  Creating a SQL cluster requires shared storage, so I would like to use SQL 2016 Standard and the SMB shared storage option (avoiding SANs, iSCSI volumes, or even Windows Shared Storage Spaces).  To keep the network as simple as possible, I'd like to have the cluster nodes for SQL also be the SMB file share for the data.

I haven't specifically read that you cannot have a 2 node windows cluster with SQL Standard and an SMB file share installed simultaneously, and the SQL use that SMB share for the databases.  However, I would like confirmation on such a configuration before I spend time on it.

It just seems nutty and a resource overkill, not to mention only adds to the network complexity, to need to create yet another 2 node cluster just for the SMB file share for SQL to use.

Please advise, and thank you in advance.

RD License Server Not Issuing Licenses

August 3, 2018, 6:54 am

Hi there,

I'm using Server 2016 and have built two Remote Desktop Services Servers.  I just was using the temporary grace period license and I was able to see my users through the RD License Manager.

I then added User CAL's to the RD License Server.  I made a mistake and returned these CALs and reborrowed them again from Clearinghouse.  Now the license server shows 60 CALs available and none issued.  It seems that all the users can log in and there are no issues from that end, but I want to be able to keep track of the CALs.  

When I do an export of the report it says no CALs issued.  I tried to:

- Return the licenses
- Disable the RD License Server
- Remove the RD License Role
- Reboot
- Add Role
- Enable RD License Server
- Get license

and I run into the same issue.  I was hoping that I did not have to rebuilt the RDS role but I also don't want to run into the issue where somehow after a period of time (coinciding with the grace period) that this system stops working.

I also tried Local Group Policy to specify the RD LIcense Server and the Per User CAL setting and that still doesn't show the issued CALs changing....

Any ideas??
