Give access to single local folder via remote desktop

September 5, 2018, 7:47 am

We have an application which our clients run via Remote App. We would like to give the app restricted access to a specific folder on the clients local drive. Is there anyway to do that? As far as I can tell, you can give access to an entire drive, but but a folder in that drive.

For example, we would like our application to have access to an application specific folder in the users "My Documents" folder, but not to any of the other folders. The reason we want to do this is that we are providing our application to clients who are not part of our organization. We would like our app to be able to save files to their local drives, but do not want to ask them to give our application access to their entire C: drive.

Are there solutions to this problem that we haven't thought of? Right now, the way we deal with it is to have our application send them files via email, which isn't ideal.

Updated cert for all things RDS 2012R2 but occasionally a client is getting old cert when launching published app

I renewed and replaced our wildcard cert on our 2 RDS GW servers, and our 5 RDS Web hosts. the new cert looks to be correctly installed in all places, yet a few users are still getting a cert error (old expired cert) when they launch a published application.

I went to IIS bindings and made sure the new cert is bound to all servers running IIS and made sure the old cert was deleted on all RDS servers via Certificate Management. Where else can I look to find this sneaky old cert that is being cached somewhere?

Hi,


I have a Windows Server 2012 R2, with and installed downgraded version of 2016 User RDS cal (1 user)

We have an application that should use this RDS, but not sure if that's configured correct.

But to me it seems that there is some kind of wrong configuration with the RDS, or missing cals ?

Because when I try to connect with our software I get an error "The server denied the access"

VDI with Wyse 3040 boxes - RD connection broker sign-on failed

We are running MS VDI on a server 2016. Periodically we are not able to log into the personal Virtual PC's (VPC) and get the error RD Connection broker sign-on failed. Rebooting the server or the Wyse 3040 boxes do not fix the issue.  We can log into the VPC's with remote desktop from a different PC. Today I got this fixed by re-installing the same cert over again in RDS certificates for RD Connection Broker -Enable Single Sign on, RD Connection Broker - Publishing, RD Web Access, and RD Gateway.

What could be causing this I'm not seeing any errors related to it in the event viewer ad restarting the services or rebooting does not work.  We were down once for 6 hours until I stumbled across doing this and it came up, luckily this time it was a few minutes.

Hi Everyone,

When making NLA based RDP connection to Windows Server 2008 R2 member server ( RD Session Host without any license server etc), I am getting an error An Authentication Error has occurred (Code: 0x800004005). It happened for no reason, i.e. no configuration changes at all.  It registers no event ID inside Application and System event log.  RDP without NLA is fine.



Let me know if someone managed to resolve similar issue?

Azure MFA only for external users coming from RD Gateway and no MFA for internal Users

Team,

Thanks in advance, I've configured RDS environment with session host, web access, connection broker and a RD gateway server.

I've enabled MFA calling through Azure MFA Server using the below link which Microsoft suggests. But I wanted MFA calling for external users and not when users coming from internal IPs.

In MFA console we have trusted IPs tab where we have to put in the users IP or IP range, but here as the authentication is sent by the RD gateway server everything is ignored by the MFA server and for internal users as well I'm getting MFA Calling.

Has anybody tried it before? This cannot be achieved through Azure MFA but can be achieved through NPS policies but unable to achieve it.

RemoteApp on Windows 2016 VM Server on Azure

September 7, 2018, 8:23 am

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,

I have setup a Remote Desktop Services Collection which has grown to a size which prevents me from scrolling down as there's no scroll bar displayed.

Does anyone have any ideas to help me with this, have I missed the obvious somewhere.

Can I create multiple Collections, not the actual units inside collections but actual Collections?

Thank you in advance.

CPU fair share scheduling - What CPU ?

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  ?

Remote Desktop users getting disconnected every 9-10 minutes

I have a server running Windows Server 2016 Standard in a WORKGROUP environment.  This server has the Remote Desktop Services role installed with 20-CAL's.  Users can login remotely to access applications.  Everything works great for the first 9-10 minutes  The problem is after 9-10 minutes their RD session is disconnected.  Sometimes it reconnects and other times they have to log back in.  All the server gpedit.msc settings for timeouts are defaulted and have not been changed.

On the same network we have another old server running Windows Server 2008 in the same WORKGROUP environment with Remote Desktop Services and 5-CAL's and the users don't experience any disconnections.

Does anyone have any thoughts on how I might be able to resolve this?

All apps and dialogs have the size option disabled.

I have been using remote desktop services for years. This is a new one for me. On a Windows 10 client connecting to a Windows 10 client through remote desktop all applications and the individual application dialog's cannot be resized. The dialogs can be minimized and maximized fine. This only appears under one profile of the PC that is being connected to in the RDP session. Other profiles connecting to work just fine.

Also with this profile the desktop is disabled. Only the start menu, and all Apps are available. This profile has been working fine for the past 2+ years so this is something recently changed. Again it is only with one Windows login other logins are fine.

Any help would be appreciated.

So we restarted our 2 servers ( DC & RDS ) and after the restart , users could login on the RDS but all the mapping to the DC are lots ( user has to give each time their login adn password to map )

When looking in the RD licensing manager we saw 2 red buttons

What could be the oriin of this problem and how could we solve it ?

Thanks in advance

Flickering of Icons on the Desktop - Fix Question

The solution below obviously fixes the issue of flickering desktop icons when you open a word, or excel document from the desktop of a redirected folders environment:

add NoRemoteChangeNotify registry entry(REG_DWORD) to/with value 1 in below location:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

But .................. and a BIG but ....

It creates another issue with mapped drives.  We have applications that write data to the UNC path of the mapped drive.  Obviously with the fix mentioned above the file does not appear in the mapped drive location without pressing F5.  Because the functionality of our applications rely on the respective file being present, pressing F5 is not a workable solution.

What else can I do, is there some kind of function, script, GPO or registry entry that will continuously take care of mapped drive refreshes?

Thanks in advance.

Chris
