Hi I have SBS 2011 (Server 2008 R2) that has the role of RD Gateway and RD Web installed. Since it is SBS and therefore very limited with what can and should be there installed, I installed second server Server 2008 (that was long time ago. This server had TS Server, TS Licensing, TS WebAccess installed. On SBS 2011 I went to WEbAccess configuration and entered name of Server 2008 and apps appeared from outside. That solution was working now 3 years.
Because it looks like it is easier to handle who can see what in Server 2012 R2, I decited to do the same. So I installed RDS via RDS installation, really quick way and everything was up and running on the new server 2012 R2 in the matter of minutes. But since this is still local I decited to use old RD Gateway ( SBS 2011). So I went to RDS default connection -> configuration page, entered the name of sever 2012R2, and I got the same error for both "An RD Connection Broker Server" and "One or more RemoteApp Sources".
Error : "RD Web Access was not able to contact the RD Connection Broker server specified. Ensure that the RD Connection Broker server name was entered correctly, and that the server is running and available on the network"
Most of the solutions mentioned that I need to add RDGateway in TS Web Access Computers security group. The problem is that this group doesn't exist anymore (at least I think, since I didn't see it)
So I started to look around on Server 2012 R2 to see which groups exist there. When I add RD Gateway computer to the "RDS Management Server" local group of Server 2012, after that I was able not to have an error when I pick "One or more RemoteApp Sources" on the RD Gateway (RD WEb Access Configuration).
But none of the published and LAN accessible apps are actually listed there.
On RD Gateway I have warning message :
No programs on RD Session Host server 2012R2 are configured to display in RD Web Access. Verify the program settings on that server.
I know that they are published since I can access in LAN from any PC.
Can you help. What else I need to check ?
Thanks.
