Is there some way I can view / terminate the processes my Server 2012 R2 RDS users are running from a single console?
I am considering moving away from Citrix XenApp which has such a useful feature.
If there is no GUI, can this be done in Powershell so how?
I have several servers that the last few weeks all randomnly have started causing connections via RDP to go to black screen for about 10-15 seconds then close the session.
I have checked roll up updates such as KB2887595 are installed, I can console into them from my VM Console, however RDP does not let me in unless a full Reboot occurs, sometimes multiple times. The fix may be temporary for a few hours, but may quickly revert back from not allowing new connections to log in.
These servers are part of a collection farm, I have disconnect sessions set to 1 minute, idle set to 15 min, active set to never for the connection properties for these farms.
I am at my wits end, cause I have roughly 6-8 servers all behaiving the same way with roughly 600 users hitting this set of servers on a daily basis, this is overflowing my help desk guys and I need a fix or solution...like last week.
Please help!

hello,
I want to implement RDS with following concerns.
If anyone can help me to sort these out, very much appreciate it.
We have a 2008 Terminal Server that is getting event ID 1515.
| Details | |
| Product: | Windows Operating System |
| Event ID: | 1515 |
| Source: | Userenv |
| Version: | 5.2 |
| Symbolic Name: | EVENT_PROFILE_DIR_BACKEDUP |
| Message: | Windows has backed up this user's profile. Windows will automatically try to use the backed up profile the next time this user logs on. |
| Explanation | |
A temporary user profile is loaded because Windows was unable to log you on with your local profile. A possible cause for this is if your local profile has been corrupted or you no longer have adequate privileges to the profile folders. Note: All changes made to the temporary profile are lost after you log off. | |
| User Action | |
Look for additional profile events in the Event log to obtain more information about why this occurred or contact the system administrator for additional help. Is there anyway that I can recover or repair the default users profile? | |
Hi,
I am basically looking for this information for 2008 R2, but for 2012 R2:

Thanks.
We are moving everything to the "Cloud". Currently we log into a local domain. When I try to login to the new server at our contracted host, I can connect to the RDP Gateway server but not login to the specified server behind it with ANY workstation that is on the local domain. I have tried removing the computer from the local domain and still I can't connect. I have removed all Group Policy's after removing it from the local domain and still cannot login to the specified server behind the RDP gateway. I sure I am logging into the RDP gateway but can't access the server behind it which is named the same as our business because I can login to the web version of the gateway but not the server that I am pointed to.
Now, if I use a Laptop that was never connected to the local domain, but on the same network, same router gateway going out, I can login to the specified server behind the RDP gateway. I can login from home on a computer that was never on the local domain. I installed Windows 7 with NO updates, not even SP1 and as long as I didn't connect it to the local domain (as in I didn't create an account for it on the local domain server), I was able to login.
My host tells me that it is my problem.
What do I need to do to the computers that are joined to the local domain to get them to connect to the remote server through their RDP gateway?
I have built a farm with mstsc published as a remoteapp. Policy allows users only to RDP to the specific servers they administrate. These users should not have permissions to RDP to the serverss in the RDS farm.
However by default they have access to remote on to the session host hosting the remoteapp. If I remove this access then the user cannot run the remote apps.
Is there a way to restrict the ability to RDP to the session host while retaining functionality of the remote apps and allowing users to use mstsc to remote to any other servers they would have permissions to?
Thanks in advance for any help.
After being up for some time - anywhere from one to two weeks my two RD VMs get so bad that only rebooting solves the problem. Using Process Explorer I noticed:
Server Process CPU Private Bytes Working Set
TS3 lsm.exe 26.86 300,192 K 242,392 K
TS2 lsm.exe 11,264 K 14,560 K
TS2 had been rebooted the evening before I took this snapshot.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Folks,
Just noticed this becoming an issue on a Windows 2012 R2 Terminal Server after the last round of Patch Tuesday updates stemming from August 9th, 2016.
Typically, I'm rebooting the server every 24 hours to over-correct the issue - rebooting not being the best option here.
In previous discussions, it's advised to remove KB3002657 or KB3035132 from the server. Is this still the best option to restore full functionality even with the last round of patches and updates? Just to confirm, we are not using webroot as an AV solution.
Hi,
I've deployed yesterday a windows 2012 server (RTM) and set up the license server for my 10-CAL licenses. That's ok.
But I can not see a way to point my server to see the license server. Every time I log in, I receive a message that the RD services will expire in 119 days.
Using the diagnosis tool it says that licensing mode isn't set up.
Where I can find the tool to set up this licensing mode? In windows server 2008 this question was asked in the setup wizadr.
Thanks a lot!

I am needing to move my Windows 2012 R2 Remote Desktop High Availability SQL database to another SQL server. I have the database copied to the new SQL server and is attached and online.
Can anyone provide me the Powershell script that I need to run to repoint the server farm to the new database?
Do I need to run the same script on each farm server?
TIA
Hi, when trying to make changes in our RDS 2012 deployment such as deploying license role or adding a session host to a collection, all servers in the deployment state "The server has reboots pending and needs to be restarted" - I have tried the obvious of restarting and a few posts suggests checking the fileoperations pending registry key but so far I am having no luck clearing this issue
Any ideas anyone?
Thanks in advance
We're receiving reports that non domain-joined clients running Windows 10 are having issues accessing desktops over RDP that use a RDS gateway. Everything is working fine with Windows 7/8.1 clients. Receiving generic error message
"Your computer can't connect to the remote computer because the Remote Desktop Gateway server is temporarily unavailable"...
Event viewer has warning: "An error was encountered when transitioning from AAStateCreatingOutChannel to AAStateError in response to AAEventOutChannelSendRequestFailed (error code 0x8019012E).
Others seem to have issue as well: https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/1099336-windows-10-rds-gateway-error
Any idea? how can we fix?
Thanks
Hi,
Today we have installed RDS license in terminal server (windows server 2012 r2) over telephone. We purchased 5 licenses for windows server 2012 RDS per User CAL. We have tested the RD licenses with 3 domain accounts and we were able to do RDP of this license server. 3 licenses are issued and 2 more available now. There are 4 more domain users are logged in to this server and the RDS licenses exceeded the limit what we have purchased, which means that total 7 licenses are issued and no available licenses to be issue. PFA the screenshot for your ref.
But i couldn't revoke certificate for that 3 domain user where we used for testing purpose because the option is grayed out. I am wondering that we have purchased 5 quantity but licenses issued count is 7. Should we need to pay extra if the issued licenses exceeded the limits. Can you briefly explain how the RDS license works and my requirement is that the project team wants 5 (RDP) concurrent sessions of the server, hence we have purchased 5 CAL per User licenses. does it make sense? or should we need to purchase CAL per device licenses.
In future we may need more concurrent RDP sessions to the different server. In this case what kind of license we need to procure either per User or per device.
Thanks,
Vijay
Hi.
Has anyone here already activated his server 2016 RD CALs?
After doing so, our license server (on the same machine) displays the correct number of licenses, but claims they are server 2012 ones.
I double checked with the vendor and they confirmed that what they sold was for 2016, so I wonder if this is a bug.
Please note, I asked the same question on experts-exchange.com
Has anyone used DDA to assign a GPU (nvidia M60 or M10) to a RDSH server? How well does it scale? How does that solution compare with RFX?
Hi, <o:p></o:p>
I am trying to give help desk users permissions to shadow users on a Windows Server 2012 R2 (Terminal Server). I have assigned them "wmic /namespace:\\root\CIMV2\TerminalServices PATH Win32_TSPermissionsSetting WHERE (TerminalName ="RDP-Tcp") CALL AddAccount "domain\group",2"but they are not able to see the users in the server manager list.

Hi.
Here's my net info :
VM Manager : Hyper-V
Virtual Machines: 4
DC : cloud.private
RD Connection Broker : Closerver3.cloud.private
OS : Windows Server 2012 R2
I'm having a serious problem my Remote Desktop Connection.
I've Created a Farm in my Domain Controller and also Created an GPO Which To Apply Policies and to Link My Computers Which They have joined My Domain.
One of my Servers is a Connection Broker And whenever I try to remote desktop to RD Connection Broker I get this error.
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/getfile/968865
P.S : I did remote to CB once and got no error but after I Applied one of my CHECKPOINTS that error started to occur.
I'm done browsing the forums and the Internet. Time to ask for help.
Just set up a new Server 2012 Standard DC in the lab. Have installed RDG on it and am presently using a self-signed certificate. When I attempt to connect remotely I get the "user account not in RDG permissions list", and it is. Here's what I've got. Note that I'm testing this with the domain administrator account, domainname\administrator
Checked that firewall port 443 is opened. I note there are three selections for that port in advanced FW settings. The only one active is the one for HTTPS. That should be all I need.
Checked the groups allowed in both the RD_RAP and the RD_CAP policies, and "Domain Users" is the group present in both.
RD_CAP is set to enable device redirection for all clients.
RD_RAP is set to allow users to connect to any network resource.
The Administrators account is a member of domain users and is set to control access through NPS network policy.
When I connect to https://servername.local I'm not getting any certificate errors, indicating that the workstation, which is not a domain member, has the root certificate property installed. If I log in from /RDWeb it uses port 3398 and doesn't go through the gateway.
If I set up RDP to use the gateway of domainname.local, it connects, prompts me for login information which I enter, Then tells me the administrator account is not listed in the RD Gateway's permission list.
I'm stumped at this point.
EDIT: I just checked the event viewer, and it shows two events. Event 200 is "The user "LAB\Administrator", on client computer "172.20.65.23", met connection authorization policy requirements and was therefore authorized to access the RD Gateway server. The authentication method used was: "NTLM" and connection protocol used: "HTTP"."
This is followed by event 301 which is "The user "LAB\Administrator", on client computer "172.20.65.23", did not meet resource authorization policy requirements and was therefore not authorized to resource "labserver". The following error occurred: "23002".
I've deleted and recreated both policies and still get the same in event viewer. What am I missing?
