Hey,
We are running Server2012 Standard, with all patches installed.
Each morning I need to restart the RDS Service as users get a 'Cannot connect to the remote computer as an error occured' message
There's nothing in any event logs, and once i restart the service it it's fine for the whole day... Until the next day, when it happens all over again
Has anyone dealt with this before?
Thanks For your help!
hi,
we're suffering from session hosts that produce black screen errors in a RDS 2016 farm.
already connected users can mostly work, all new connections end up with a black screen.
to resolve the error the server has to be restarted.
i can say that
- this error appears after error 1534 (Fehler bei der Profilbenachrichtigung des Ereignisses Delete für Komponente {709E2729-F883-441e-A877-ED3CEFC975E6}. Fehlercode: Das System kann die angegebene Datei nicht finden.) starts appearing in the eventviewer.
- upon checking the registry for this SID i end up at "ProfileNotifyHandler Class app id {E10F6C3A-F1AE-4adc-AA9D-2FE65525666E} inprocserver32, C:\Windows\System32\gameux.dll".
- starting explorer.exe per taskmgr does not open an actual explorer window although the process appears in taskmgr
- tskmgr, eventvwr, cmd can be started without problems
- affected users appear as active in RDS management
- no third party security software is installed
- farm is fully patched
- HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\ProfileGUID and ProfileList are ok (no old or .bak entries)
looking forward on how to resolve this without rebooting the server or a permanent fix
thank you
best regards
We are looking to move our current hosted solution to Azure.
Our current solution in the cloud consists of three Windows 2008 R2 VM’s in a workgroup One SQL Server VM – heavily dependent on SQL Database Mail and SQL Scheduled Jobs , One Web Server VM, One RDP server that uses RemoteApp to distribute a Windows Client application after connecting to a VPN. We also use the RDP server to run several windows applications (windows service and scheduled task). I had originally posted to the Azure VM forum and was referred to this forum for RDP issues.
With Windows 2008 R2 server I was easily able to create RemoteApp. .rdp files (without RDWeb) for our Windows application and use those .rdp files to distribute to our customers. The user accounts were created using Computer Management / Local Users / Groups.
From my understanding is that the functionality changed with Windows 2012 R2 and later. To be able to set up RemoteApp, the machine must be joined to a domain as this give you a setup UI to publish your application(RDWeb to create rdp file). This would mean two additional servers (domain controllers) and incur additional costs. The user accounts would then have to be created on the Azure DC Active directory. Is RemoteApp supported on a Windows 2016 workgroup VM in Azure without using RDWeb to publish the application? I found an article on the forum that talks about creating / editing your own rdp file and registry entries in lieu of a UI. I also found a third party application (RemoteApp Tool) which creates a .rdp file. Could we use those methods and still be supported by Microsoft? I also see there was a RemoteApp Service on Azure that is been now discontinued. It has been replaced with Citrix Virtual App Essentials. From my understanding, this too would require domain controllers at additional cost. Are there any better solutions to achieve our goal? Will we be able to set up a VPN connection for our customers to the RDP (RemoteApp) server on Azure with any of the solutions?
Thanks,
Hi, we are about 20 users that require virtual desktops preferably 4 core and 16 Gb and apart from productivity apps like Office 365, we need to run some high IOPS intensive apps. vGPU is also preferred. What would you suggest? Should we go with session host based approach or Virtual desktops option. planning to set it up in the cloud (likely in Azure or other provider).
appreciate if someone could suggest
Hi,
our workstations with Windows 10 pro are in this weekend updated to version 1803. For main system we use RemoteAPP aplications on Windows server 2012R2 (Windows server 2012R2 is full updated). After update on client station are RemoteAPP slower, and right mouse button is unresponsive, or react verly long time...
It is a big problem for us.
PS: after replace mstsc.exe and mstscax.dll from older version Windows 10 is all OK. but this is not a solution.
Thanks.
I have an odd problem. Everywhere I read, it seems remote apps that are started from the same client should start in the same session if I haven't logged off from that session. I have apps installed on Server 2016 and published through RemoteApp.
I also have a 15 minute session idle timeout enabled. When that 15 minutes is about to be reached, each app individually gives a 2 minute logout warning. So if I have 3 apps idling, I get that warning 3 times. In the server manager, under
Connections, I can also see 3 individual connections. I don't remember changing anything to set them to open up as separate sessions. Does anyone know how to reverse this? Thank you.
Hi all, just curious if there is something obvious --
We have 3 similar systems and this is only an issue on 1 of them.
All 3 systems are configured with 2 domain controllers and 30ish vms
We have one machine we (a crew of 2) can connect to via RDP in each system. (All kinds of ACLs, firewalls, ect since we are in a process environment)
The system in question always drops my RDP session before connecting to it.
Example -
I can be in my RDP session at my desk, walk across the room and attempt to connect back to my session and I can see Windows stating "Signing Out" and then my RDP session is dropped.
I have to reconnect to get back into my session.
This is a pain since sometimes I have files and applications open I am trying to access from the other PC I am attempting to connect to.
I have reviewed all the GPO options for Remote Services and they are all set to default in all 3 systems, although the one system is giving me troubles.
Anyone have a quick tip for something obvious I should look at?
Any input helps
Edit-
All machines in the environment are Windows Server 2012 (non R2)Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me!
I access my school desktop apps and drives remotely via RD Web Access.
I was working on a powerpoint this morning and it has been frozen since - will not minimise and cannot be edited.
Because it is remote access task manager will not work.
Does anyone know what I can do?
Thanks

I am having an issue, exactly as described in a Spiceworks post, 1962989-rds-remoteapp-server-second-empty-window-opens-when-clients-connect, I cannot post links yet.
However, that posters solution of it being a firewall config issue is not the case for me.
Basically, at random times throughout the day, users will suddenly get additional RDP windows that suddenly appear in their taskbar, that do not state any particular program, and when you click on one, all it displays is a white bar where you'd think the top of the Window would normally be. These additional blank windows cannot be closed, not even forcefully from the client side. The only way around it is to have the user log completely out of all remote apps and disconnect, and wait a minute, then sign back in. (Server is set to log off disconnected users after 1 minute in order to work around this incredibly irritating issue).
I've modified keep alive timeouts, changed physical firewalls, RemoteFX settings, and even ran network traffic analyzers between both the server and the clients to see if packet loss was an issue, and it is not.
Server is Windows 2016 hosted on AWS.
Clients are all Windows 10 v1803.
Hi,
I have received a question from a customer that I can't seem to find an answer to.
The customer is currently running af PoC on a new RDS 2016. All Windows 10 (v1709 or 1803) endpoints. They are using the RemoteApp and Desktop Connections client to present shortcuts to various RemoteApps in the users Start Menu on the Windows 10 endpoint.
Is it possible to change the name of these shortcuts? More specifically remove the appended RDS workspace name from the RemoteApp shotcut.
Hi Guys,
I am wondering if someone can explain this to me. I am trying to find all idle or disconnected users on session host servers and with powershell that is easy but there are options like state active and state connected. Does this state connected mean that the user is idle, connected to rds session host but either has minimized rdp session or just not working on the computer.
What other states can I expect except these
I understood that fair share is based on CPU load. But what CPU ?
Currently administering a farm of W2008 R2 RDS. Fair share being enabled by default. Each server having 12vCPUs.
On occasion some users are complaining about sluggishness (network and Disk I/Os being ridiculously low). I have no explanation about the sluggishness except for different threads from different users running on one single overloaded vCPU. Despite the fact
that the 12vCPUs are not all overloaded
So, How Fair share actually works across multiple vCPUs ?
Is it a mature/better technology in Windows 2016 ?
