Moving Roles within an Existing RDS Deployment

$
0
0

That title doesn't exactly explain my situation, but now that I have your attention...

Currently have RDGateway, ConnectionBroker, Session Host roles with a single published Collection on a physical server (TS1) and a second session host-only role (connections split 50/50) on another physical server (TS2).  The licensing role is on a separate physical server (LS1).  There are issues with the multi-role server (TS1) that require it to be redeployed from scratch so the plan is to add the RDGate and CB roles to the LS1 server and have the TS2 server be the sole Session Host while TS1 is rebuilt, after which TS1 will only be an additional Session Host.  There is no HA configured at all.

Rather than have to reconfigure everything in one fell swoop I'm hoping that the RDGate and CB roles can be created on the LS1 server now, leaving the current deployment up and running.  Then tackle reconfiguring the TS2 session host to belong to the new deployment with a new collection and taking down the TS1 server to be rebuilt.

Is that a viable plan, to have two RDGate/CB configured on the same domain?


RDP SSO on reconnect fails due to Network Location Awareness Identifying

$
0
0

I have found that when a RDP session that connects with Seamless SSO is interrupted, if the Network Location Awareness service decides to go into 'identifying' for even a half second, when the RDP connection goes to resume, SSO credentials do not work. However I have found that the times that the NlaSvc does not go into 'Identifying' then the connection will resume just fine. It appears that when its 'Identifying' even if I have the local policy set to 'Private' for Identifying connections, then SSO does not work. Is there a fix for this? Can RDP be made to wait or reattempt SSO credentials again automatically? The NlaSvc always goes back to DomainAuthenticated properly, even after half a second, but its still too late as RDP appears to have already tried reconnecting and fails to pass credentials at which point it prompts for a password.

I really need the reconnecting feature to work. Anyone have any ideas to solve this?

RDP/TS - Printing Error

$

Hi,

Not sure if this is the correct place to post regarding my issue, it's related to Printing/Printer Redirection on Remote Desktop Services!

We have a Remote Desktop Server which day to day operates perfect. It's running Server 2016 DC, recently installed.

We have been having this issue which either happens each day or every two days. We have printer redirection enabled and it works fine, however at some point during the day the server continues redirecting printers. When trying to print however the following error appears:

The document Print Document, owned by <user>, failed to print on printer OfficePrinter (redirected 14). Try to print the document again, or restart the print spooler. 
Data type: RAW. Size of the spool file in bytes: 1015048. Number of bytes printed: 0. Total number of pages in the document: 1. Number of pages printed: 0. Client computer: \\APP1. Win32 error code returned by the print processor: 2147500037. Unspecified error

Another error I seen was the below, which appears multiple times too.

Application popup: Windows - Application Error : The instruction at 0x00007FFA5C56E616 referenced memory at 0x0000000000000074. The memory could not be read.

Click on OK to terminate the program

I did notice when going into Devices and Printers on the Remote Desktop Server the 'Computer/Server' has a status of "Device Setup in Progress" - I noticed the "Device Setup Manager" service was running - which should only be triggered when needed, tried to stop and restart the service however with no luck.

I have tried restarting the Print Spooler, with no difference I also checked to see if we are using  Type 3 or Type 4 drivers as I read Type 4 can cause these kind of issues.

The resolution at the moment, is to get users to log off and restart and this fixes it for a period of time!

If anyone has some ideas or anything to try/look into, please let me know!

Thanks,

Adam

Unable to install RDS roles - Windows Server 2016STD

$

I am currently having an issue installing RDS on a Windows Server 2016STD. This server IS currently a domain controller. I know it's not recommended to run a terminal server on a DC but it is what is required for the situation. 
From what I understand Microsoft temporarily disabled the ability to install both RDS and ADDS on a single server, but from the info I can find on Server 2016 this has since been re-allowed. 

I am attempting to do a session-based deployment.

When trying to go through the standard deployment method, the installation fails on the RD Connection Broker role service with: "Failed: Unable to install RD Connection Broker role server on server 'Server'".

If trying to install with the Quick Start deployment method, the deployment fails at Remote Desktop Services role services with the error: "Failed: Unable to install the role services. Exception calling "Translate" with "1" argument(s):"Some or all identity references could not be translated."

There don't appear to be any errors or relevant events in the Event Viewer.  

Any help will be greatly appreciated!


Appresources (Tile Data model server and State Repository Service) regularly spiking RDSH CPU Usage to 100%

$

Hi All

We have had a client of ours regularly reporting that their server is grinding to a halt, applications go non responsive etc.

While checking into their server, the main issue I have found is that the process "appresources (2)", with the services "Tile Data model server" and "State Repository Service" will spike the server up to 99-100% CPU usage, normally up from the 10-20% the server is normally running at.

The client is using Windows Server 2016 DC in Remote Desktop Services mode. They are assigned 10 vCPU, 40GB static RAM. The back end Hyper-v failover cluster hosts each have 2 x 20 Core CPU, 384GB RAM and we have moved the clients VHDX's onto our more responsive SAN (IBM v7000). We aren't seeing the same reported issues from any other hosted remote desktop servers we have in place, which are a spread of 2012R2 and 2016 systems.

I have removed all other high CPU usage systems from their host, but we aren't seeing any difference - the appresource process continues kicks the server at random intervals. System was rebooted last night, and they are seeing slightly better performance but the appresources continues to regularly spike for unknown reasons.

At the time of the spike, a number of runtime broker processes kick in, and the "system" process also inflates its CPU usage.

I have not been able to assess if its a specific user performing any actions (16 users normally) that cause the spikes and they dont seem to kick off with any other server actions (backup software, server live migrations etc).

Any pointers or help would be appreciated as I have met a dead end.

FAILED - UNABLE TO INSTALL RD VIRTUALIZATION HOST ROLE SERVICE ON SERVER

$

Hello team,

Could you help to solve this RD virtualization host role service installation failure, please?

Steps I've done:

I work in our test/trial server Dell Power Edge Server, 62GB and 2 TB Mem all Microsoft technology driven, ISO Window Server 2019-DC, License as part of the Microsoft Partners benefits.  All related features to RDA Connection broker are installed as expected, EXCEPT the RD Virtualization Host role.  It failed tree times.

I did re-install Windows server 2019 DC twice.  Including waiting for updates,  delete and re-datafill Active Directory, OUs, RDAdmin access as well as as a normal general administrator, etc.

I did apply the following guide lines for similar issue:

If WID(Windows Internal Database) has been installed:
1.Open Run, type “services.msc” and end with enter., 
2.Find service Windows Internal Database, open its Properties – Log On, make sure it has been configured with “Local system account”.
3.Save the change and re-start the service, try to install RD CB again.
If problem persists, please try:
1. Uninstall the Windows Internal Database. 
2. Rename the old WID (C:\Windows\) to WID_old.
3. Try to install RDCB again to check the result. 

I did reinstall RDCB two times from 'zero' Windows Server 2019, Active Directory, setting etc.

I used an RDSAdmin account to access as a RDAdmin for only RDCB and RD Virtualization host.  

It does not work, at least for me.      The irony is that it works in VMWare virtualization with Windows Server 2019 DC and its does not work in a pure Microsoft driven fabric structure.

Is there any work around? or, it there a consistent INSTALLATION PROCEDURES technical document?  The Microsoft document I found are very speculative in theory.  If there is a site for System Engineering Operations/for/in production documents, could you please let me know?

We have plenty of remote access devices Windows 10 Enter clients waiting for this solution.  We re-sell Windows 10, O365 (M365). Please help. 

Thank you,

Walter

RDS 2012 R2 / Session timeouts reset each time a new user log in

$

Hi,

We have set up ( with GPO) session timeout for RDS users :
- IDLE session : 1 hour
- disconnected session : 1 hour
- close session when timeouts are reached

But sessions never hit timeout because each time a new user logs in or an IDLE user reconnects, all IDLE session counter are reset to 0.

I am not able to figure out what is happening...

Does anyone have an idea ?

Arnaud

RDS 2012 R2, clients sometimes missing green tick / green check mark on default printers.

$

Hi, 2012 R2 RDS and a printserver. Users dont have any local printers, they use wyse. There default printers in the RDS session is set to different printers on the printserver. In maybe 25% of the time the green tick dont show up on the default printer, the green tick isnt showing up at any printer on that user so it dosent look like there is any default printer for that user. If they look at the properties on the printer it show as default, but the green tick is missing. Some programs dont function 100% since they need a default printer, bur it looks like some programs cant see what printer to use as default printer if the green tick is missing. Where to start looking?

User Profile Disks: Disk has the same disk identifiers as one or more disks connected to the system

Hello,

we have a Windows Server 2016 RDS session-based server with User Profile Disks enabled. If there is at least one user logged in, for every other user that connects to the server, a warning is added to the Event logs: "Disk <x> the same disk identifiers as one or more disks connected to the system". Aside from that, all seems to work fine, so should I be worried about these warnings?


User Profile Disks Same Disk Identifiers

Hello.

Running a test RDS2019 server with UserProfile disks hosted on an RDSbroker share on 2016. 

Everything was fine but since the weekend, logging new users onto this server caused a black screen. The system became completely unresponsive. Upon investigation, we're noticing the following errors..

1) Disk 4 has the same disk identifiers as one or more disks connected to the system. Go to Microsoft's support website (http://support.microsoft.com) and search for KB2983588 to resolve the issue.

2) An error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk4\DR24 during a paging operation.

4) The system failed to flush data to the transaction log. Corruption may occur in VolumeId: \\?\Volume{7483659d-0000-0000-0000-100000000000}, DeviceName: \Device\HarddiskVolume27.
(A device which does not exist was specified.)

5) The IO operation at logical block address 0x24ea0 for Disk 4 (PDO name: \Device\00000131) was retried.

For issue 1 i've looked at the KB and checked several other posts, using diskpart to look at the uniqueid, they are all different. 

2) Related? not sure

3, 4 and 5 I could do with some advice please.


Windows 2016 RDS - Start Menu Not Working - get-appxpackage returns nothing

I'm having an issue on a single RDS 2016 server at the moment where the start menu doesn't open.  

I've gone though lots of steps including sfc /scannow  (No errors)   DISM with all the options (No Errors)

I've cleared the Registry in firewall policy\restricted services\configurable\system.

I believe the issue is that I don't have any applications registered in the get-appxpackage at all, it just comes back blanks where as on working machines I get a list of about 15.

I've tried to install the packages by hand using variations of 

Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register C:\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.Windows.Cortana_cw5n1h2txyewy\AppxManifest.xml -Verbose 

This returns the following;

I can't seem to get the system to re-register those applications!

Open to any suggestions?  (Please no, have you restarted the server!)

This happens on all users including local admin and new accounts.  Happens in Safe and Clean Boot.

Thanks.

USB Drive redirection except local drives

hello every one 

i have a issue with RDP redirection

the problem is i can't redirect just usb drives but not the local drives

i think of some script to run when the rdp session is created on the server and map the usb on the user's computers

but i don't know where to start

i also tried redirection policies in group policy but when you Disable drive redirection it's also assume the usb drive as a drive so i can't use the group policy or other things except some script that map detect the PnP devices on user's computers and map it and prohibit the local drives redirection.

thank you in advance

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

Hello.

I have a windows server 2012 r2 rds farm working properly (5 servers), users connect without problems, as do the administrators, but when granting permission to access a group directly to the farm servers, the access is denied.
Any advice?

Thanks

Weird session hanging in Remote Desktop/Remote Access

$
0
0

I do the IT work for a local small business. A few months ago the owner decided to change from one software vendor to another. The previous was a web based application and the new one is accessed through Remote Desktop/Remote Access to a Windows 2008 R2 server. All of our desktops run the latest up-to-date versions of Windows 10, all are HP computers, all get about 50mbps down and 20mbps up. We went live with the system on the first of the month however since the beginning our client desktops will experience odd session hanging/freezing seemingly randomly. I will bring up another program(Google Chrome, Outlook, etc) for a few minutes and go back and it will be "frozen". Although this is inconsistent as I can do the same thing for longer and it won't hang/freeze. When this happens I'll kill the app in task manager. Then I go through the log in process again and it brings up the session just how it was before it "froze" saying something along the lines of "Are you sure you want to restart the connection" with yes and no options. I'll then hit no to continue the previous session and it is like it never happened. This only takes a minute but this happens 10-20 times a day for each of my users and they are getting frustrated.

The vendor says they are working to find a solution and that our problem is unique, however it has been a few weeks and they haven't really said much outside of normal troubleshooting efforts. I cannot do anything server side, that's on them, but on the client side I've tried just about everything I could think of or find. I've tried turning off/on just about every MSTSC setting there is, I've updated all drivers for everything(was specifically targeting network and graphics), I've disabled auto-tuning on the NIC, I've edited the registry to only only allow TCP connections in TS, I've reset our router, and I've tried other remote desktop apps. When we went live and noticed it happening we immediately did a Ping Monitor on one of our hosts for a week and ruled out network/internet issues. I've also remoted in to the server from a Windows 8 laptop from home and the issue was not present. Event viewer show nothing anywhere, it's like it isn't happening even though it is. 

If anyone has any tips or suggestions, I'm open to anything at this point. If not I'll wait around for the vendor to hopefully figure it out. 

User profile disk (.vhdx) files increasing frequently

In windows server 2012 R2 RDS farm user profile disk (.vhdx) files increasing frequently that causes lack of free space on storage location where the UPD files located. Every day approximately 10-20GB space filled on storage where the UPD locates. When mount and checking vhdx within them the amount of data is much smaller than the size of vhdx disk. Is there any way to prevent increasing UPD disks frequently or reduce/release/reclaim disk space on UPD vhdx files?

Windows Search changes in Server 2019 RDS

Hi,

So nothing like being on the cutting edge......

I have been testing Server 2019 RDS and so-far-so-good apart from an issue with the Windows Search Service.

It appears that in Server 2019 each user gets their own search database EDB file in their profile path (appdata\roaming). e.g.

C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Search\Data\Applications\S-1-5-21-3901271148-1553943383-1671037523-1629\S-1-5-21-3901271148-1553943383-1671037523-1629.edb

When they log on and log off; this is connected to the search service and the following event log is generated

Source:ESENT
EventID: 326
SearchIndexer (10896,D,50) S-1-5-21-3901271148-1553943383-1671037523-1629: The database engine attached a database (3, C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Search\Data\Applications\S-1-5-21-3901271148-1553943383-1671037523-1629\S-1-5-21-3901271148-1553943383-1671037523-1629.edb). (Time=0 seconds)

Unfortunately it appears that this process is not very stable and on some logons the database in the users profile does not attach and the following error is generated

Source:Search
EventID: 3057
The plug-in manager <Search.TripoliIndexer> cannot be initialized.
Context: S-1-5-21-3901271148-1553943383-1671037523-1629 Application

Source:Search
EventID: 3028
The gatherer object cannot be initialized.
Context: S-1-5-21-3901271148-1553943383-1671037523-1629 Application, SystemIndex Catalog
Details: The specified object cannot be found. Specify the name of an existing object.  (HRESULT : 0x80040d06) (0x80040d06)

And a few more similar but related errors....

No subsequent logon/off will succeed in attaching the database until the Windows Search service is restarted

I am not testing with User Profile Disks or Roaming Profiles
There is no AV on the server

Any ideas?

RDS 2016 deployment over Citrix Netscaler as load balancer.

$

Hello,

I would like to create RDS deployment based on Windows Server 2016. Idea is to load-balance RDSH servers via Citrix Netscaler. I have some questions in regards to that deployment. 

Environment: 10 RDSH servers + 2 RDS Connection Brokers + 1 License server. All RDSH servers will be available over NS VIP. 

1. Is RDS Broker server needed if Netscaler is in front of deployment?
2. Will Citrix Netscaler use RDS broker as point to verify whether user has active session or disconnected session?
3. If there is no need to use Gateway/web interface, is it necessary to create collection?

Thank you in advance,

Hi all,

I found some interesting errors in the event log. They occur every time a user logs off.

The rds is a server 2016 with user profile disks enabled. The UPDs are set to take all data (no folder selection or filtering).

1) [Warning] User Profile Service 1534

Profile notification of event Delete for component {709E2729-F883-441e-A877-ED3CEFC975E6} failed, error code is The system cannot find the specified file.

Any ideas what the reason for these could be?

Thank you!
