Publishing Remote Apps from Multiple Session Hosts

$
0
0
Hi guys, I'm coming from the Citrix world so I need to re-learn how this works, but I have a RDS server which is also a session host, and an additional session host. Both are in a collection called Test.

I have some software installed on both servers which I can publish. I have some software just on the main RDS/session host which I can publish, and some software just on the second session host which I can not publish.

I don't necessarily want to have to install the software on both. How can I accomplish this? I tried to create another collection and just add the second host but I can't because its already part of the first one I suppose. What do I need to be doing in this regard?


Thanks for any feedback.

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,

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?

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

Changing Text Size For Windows 2019 RDP Users

It was a simple process to change the scaling of text/icons with 2012 RDP users by going to Display Settings and changing the scaling from 100% to 150%.

Can't seem to get there with Windows 2019. User is on Windows 7 so they are using an older RDP client. When you go to Display settings in their session it says Display settings can't be changed in an RDP session and everything is grayed out. Even when you hit Advanced the scaling is grayed out.

RDWeb Password Reset not working - Windows Server 2016

Dear readers I have the following issue when a user wants to reset their password via the RDWeb password reset.aspx

"Your password cannot be changed. Please contact your administrator for assistance." 

What I have done so far : 

- Went into the IIS Manager and set the "PasswordChangeEnabled" to true.
- Reset the IIS Manager via CMD.
- Activated the logging (which doesn't work by the way).
- Rebooted the host & client to be sure.

Does anyone else have this problem aswell or does someone know the solution to said problem?

Hope to hear from someone.

Kind regards,

Sander ten Voorden


Suggested way to remove and reconfigure RDS deployment

$
0
0

Hello experts,

  • Environment: Windows 2016 servers - 1 Connection broker, 2 Session hosts, 1 Web access, 1 Gateway, 1 licensing server - Each role is on a separate VM.

  • Configuration: RDS roles installed using "Remote Desktop Services Installation - Session based desktop deployment". 1 Collection created with 2 Session Hosts

  • Question 1: What is best way / sequence of steps to be followed to uninstall this RDS deployment and reconfigure again (with same configuration on all the servers as it is) ?

Reason being, this RDS deployment has been messed up badly and is creating many problems frequently. RDWeb page is also not working. We can only do mstsc.

  • Question 2: Is it necessary to reconfigure RD gateway and RD licensing roles also ? I believe it is enough to uninstall RDCB, Web access, SH roles because Gateway and Licensing are installed as separate instances after deployment with "Remote Desktop Services Installation". Yet, this needs some clarification.

*Note: As said, we are not going to change anything in environment. All roles will be back as it is on their previous VMs with same configuration.

I've been browsing since long but couldn't find any official MS document or any other article which guides me in a good way!

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE !!!


Best Regards,

RD session connections windows server 2016 - two computers couldn't connect in the amount of time allotted

$

we have RDS installed in Windows 2016 standard edition and use session-base desktop deployment.

It was working fine for about one year. About two weeks ago, we started to have the following issue:

This computer can't connect to the remote computer.
The two computers couldn't connect in the amount of time allotted. Try connecting again. If the problem continues, contact your network administrator or technical support. 

When this issue happens, we find some users are disconnected in the RDS-Collections-QuickSessionCollection. But we cannot log/sign off those users, they are always showing there.

BTW, we can sign of those users in the Task Manager-Users. 

We can solve this issue by restarting the server. How to fix it without restarting the server?

Thanks!

Remote Desktop not working

$

I am using a Windows 10 PRO 64bit laptop, I've been trying to connect using remote desktop to another Windows 10 Pro PC and I keep getting the message that remote desktop could not connect.  I have a Windows 7 PRO computer that can connect to the same Windows 10 PC so I know it works.  I've tried everything I can think of to get it to work.  Network discovery is turned on, the firewall is turned off, I've allowed remote desktop connection and I can see the target PC when I go to Windows Explorer/Network.  What am I missing???

Need a solution for allowing Remote Desktop access for a limited number of users.

I've been searching and searching but I'm not getting all the pieces together.  Here is what I need to accomplish:

  1. A VM running a modern Windows OS to run a specific application suite.
  2. That VM needs to be able to handle up to 5 concurrent Remote Desktop connection actively using the application mentioned above. (The application suite is designed to be able to handle this.)
  3. Users will be connecting with tablets, laptops and desktops from the local network and from external connections as well.

The application suite runs a database and is normally installed on multiple desktops with one of them being the "master" running the DB.  Maintaining the multiple desktops is less practical compared to one VM that everyone connects to.  I've seen "hack" ways to run multiple remote connections to Windows 10 and such but I'm looking to do this right.  This application suite is going to be used for the foreseeable future and I don't want to hack it together waiting for an update to break the hack.

What I am asking for is help with what I need for this use case.  I'm ok with building multiple servers (in ESXi/VMware) if needed, though I would prefer only one.  I also would really rather use a per user license since the users are regularly changing out the devices they are connecting with.  

I have downloaded and build basic VMs with the eval versions of Server 2019 Essentials and Standard.

RDS 2016 Remote Desktop Services is currently busy

I am running a Server 2016 with RDS and it's mainly used for remote apps. Our users are getting the "The task you are trying to do can't be completed because RDS is currently busy" and looking at the task manager, there appears to be a stuck login which I cannot disconnect. When I attempt to end all processes for that stuck user, it still does not go away and I need to reboot the VM which kicks everyone off.

I am running the latest patches but I find that I have to restart the VM at least 3-4 times a week to allow our users to use their remote app when they work from home.

What could be causing this issue?

Remote desktop services goes "stale"

Hi there, we are experiencing an issue where we connect to one of our realtime machines and randomly (this happened about a week apart from one another) after you have authenticated, it just goes black and stays that way. I have to reboot the server to get the remote desktop services working again. 

I have noticed by logging into the console session on vmware, that after authenticating on the remote desktop client, it doesn't actually connect because my session using the same credentials on the vmware console is still active and untouched. 

Here are some errors I see : 

An error occurred when transitioning from CsrConnected in response to EvCsrInitialized. (ErrorCode 0x80070102)
&
An error occurred when transitioning from CsrConnected in response to EvCsrInitialized. (ErrorCode 0x80070057)

These logs are also accompanied by Event ID 4005 "The windows logon process has unexpectedly terminated"

I also noticed when I enter the IP for the VM in the remote desktop client and hit enter, the logon screen comes up immediately instead of the couple of ms you normally wait. 

Any idea on how to fix this permanently?

Hi, is it possible for an Administrator to get info about other users printers on a terminalserver. I have tried different commands and used psexec and even if the users see that the command windows is running the result is only the Administrators printers. I need to run wmic printer get name,default or Get-WmiObject -Query " SELECT * FROM Win32_Printer WHERE Default=$true" as/in another user/session and then return that users printers not the Administrators printers.

rds per device

dears,

I need your assistance with the below, i was deploying rds server. 

Configured rds hosts and rds brokers and rds licenses servers. I issued from the license server licenses per cal and per devices.

In the collection, i added a group that contains the users who are able to connect to the host.

After testing, more than one user were able to connect to the rds host therefore the testing was successful.

however when i went to test the per device cal, i did the following i added the server from where i want to access the rds host to the collection group created earlier. then i logged in to this device using anonymous user and tried to rdp the rds host from that server, however it returned an error : the connection was denied because the user account is not authorized for remote login which is true, the anonymous user is not added to any rds group but the server from where he tries to access the host is added to the group.

I need to understand the per device scenario, can anyone help me with how it its tested?

best regards

A timeout was reached (30000 milliseconds) while waiting for the MSSQL$MICROSOFT##WID service to connect.

$

We are seeing the following error during start up on more than one of our VMs running Windows Server 2016 Datacenter, this is prevent users from being able to RDP to the server. It seems this error resolves itself as the WID service does eventually start, but the dependent RDS services do not start thereafter, but will start with manual intervention. The following are the errors listed in the event log:

1. A timeout was reached (30000 milliseconds) while waiting for the MSSQL$MICROSOFT##WID service to connect.

2. The MSSQL$MICROSOFT##WID service failed to start due to the following error: 
The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.

3. The Tssdis service depends on the MSSQL$MICROSOFT##WID service which failed to start because of the following error: 
The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.

4. The TScPubRPC service depends on the MSSQL$MICROSOFT##WID service which failed to start because of the following error: 
The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.

There is also the below message logged before the first error, but I'm not sure this is the actual cause, as said previously, it does eventually start, which makes me think its a timing issue.

The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID 
{D63B10C5-BB46-4990-A94F-E40B9D520160}
 and APPID 
{9CA88EE3-ACB7-47C8-AFC4-AB702511C276}
 to the user NT SERVICE\MSSQL$MICROSOFT##WID SID (S-1-5-80-1184457765-4068085190-3456807688-2200952327-3769537534) from address LocalHost (Using LRPC) running in the application container Unavailable SID (Unavailable). This security permission can be modified using the Component Services administrative tool.

Additionally, this does not happen each time the server starts and is seemingly random, but we are seeing similar behavior on another server with RDS installed.

I've found the following post, but this is not a fix and merely extends the timeout value for all services.

RemoteFX enabled RDP Connection for Windows 10 1903 Not working

$

Configuration:

Hyper-V - Server 2016 Desktop Virtualization Host with all available updates as of 09/12/2019
     -nVidia Tesla M10 with newest Graphics Drivers available - fully support 1903
     -Registry setting for AVC444ModePreferred = 1
     -Registry setting for AVCHardwareEncodePreferred = 2

VDI Desktop - Windows 10 1903 with all available updates installed as of 09/12/2019
     -RemoteFX Adapter added to VM with 2x monitors with 512MB

RDP Client Endpoint - Win10 1803, Win10 1809, Win10 1903 all with all available updates as of 09/12/2019

Scenario 1: RDP from client to the VDI through RDCB or directly: Fails to connect with administrator message

Scenario 2: Connect to VM through Hyper-V Console with RemoteFX enabled - Works flawlessly

Scenario 3: Enable the 'Use WDDM graphics display driver for Remote Desktop Connections' policy - Connection works over RDP but it appears RemoteFX isn't functioning fully as graphics are sluggish. This should not be the fix as the nVidia RemoteFX drivers should be fully WDDM compatible.

Scenario 4: Remove RemoteFX Adapter - Connection works over RDP but is sluggish due to no RemoteFX

This person is having the same problem but the fixes are not working for me and since he did not respond, I'm not sure the fixes are actually working - https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/25fa7511-c21d-44e7-9c5f-b77ffdd4d2ac/remotefx-on-hyperv-console-but-not-through-rdp?forum=winserverTS

Message Received on RDP Client:

Your Remote Desktop Services session has ended, possibly for one of the following reasons:
     The administrator has ended the session.
     An error occurred while the connection was being established.
     A network problem occurred.

More to come - Working on adding additional details
