No Internet for End Devices - Long InitialTimeouts/Delays (CRL Check is disabled via IE)

$
0
0

We have a 2016 RDS environment where the end workstations do not have any internet access.   When accessing RDweb and launching an app, you will see an initial remoteapp launch timeout of about 90-120 seconds. Any subsequent launches after that work fine with the expected few seconds delay.   After the machine is rebooted we see this issue present again,only for the initial launch.

We've disabled the CRL check via IE and that still doesnt fix the remoteapp launch delay/timeout issue.  From a ProcMan trace you can see its making an is internet alive check to www.microsoft.com and another CRL check to the registry, but what that specific CRL check is to, and what exactly its trying to accomplish i do not know.  

If you allow internet to the end device, the delay does not happen.  

Looking for any pointers as to what is causing this initial launch delay and how it might be resolved?  It appears to be more than the IE advanced setting CRL check, as we have that disabled.

We've also opened a ticket via MS but have not had stellar responses thus far.

Thanks!

Server 2012 refusing RDP admin connection (no licensing)

$

Hello, I am trying to remote into Windows Server 2012, which I did for months, but am now getting this error:

"The remote session was disconnected because there are no Remote Desktop License Servers available to provide a license"

How can I fix this and why do I need a license server? I just want to log in to do administration, which doesn't require a CAL per below.

Do I have to acquire RDS CALs if I am only remotely administering Windows Server operating systems by using
Remote Desktop for Administration?

No. Up to two users may connect to the Windows Server operating system simultaneously to perform administrative
functions without needing any RDS CALs. Additional administrative users need the appropriate RDS CALs.

I am stuck right now. Any pointers please?

Thanks for any help.

Find what servers are using a specific RDS Licensing server ?

$

Let's say that an existing environment have RDSL1 and RDSL2. The majority of servers in the domain are using one of both as their RDS Licensing servers, 

We plan to consolidate our 2 RDS Licensing servers in a new RDSL3, we need first to push all servers that are using RDSL1 to start using RDSL3,

My question: How to find the servers which are using RDSL1 only ?

Thank you,

Moad.

Windows Server 2012 R2 RD Licensing Diagnoser Shows Error No CALs but License Server does have CALs installed

$

Hi:

Please see attached image below. 

On this Windows Server 2012 R2 w/RDS deployment, the RD Licensing Diagnoser shows an error that the license server does not have any installed licenses with Product Version: Windows Server 2012 and Licensing Mode: Per User.

However, on the same page as you can see in the screenshot, it shows the license server cfg. details with License Type: RDS Per User CAL, License Version: Windows Server 2012, Installed: 5, Available: 0. We purchased and installed 5 CALs on the license server and it's showing those 5 CALs, so why does the RD Licensing Diagnoser show this error when it's showing the licenses on the same page??? 

Thanks very much for any input on how to fix this issue.

RDS Session Based Deployment Question

$
0
0

Hello,

Just wanted to understand the Session Based Deployment in Remote Desktop Services. The thing is I set 20 sessions per session host server in the Collection. what is that mean 20 user sessions or 20 RemoteApp sessions per one Host server.

In other words, for example I have 20 RemoteApp published. 

Case1: if one user launches all 20 RemoteApps does it fill up all the sessions?

Case2: else, 20 users can access all 20 RemoteApps?, since 20 sessions per Host was set.

Please let me know.

Thank you

Different resolutions between host and client

$

Hello,
I am wondering if its possible to achieve the native client resolution if host has a different resolution without seeing black stripes on the sides or being stretched (because resolutions do not match I believe).

-------------------------------------------
Host: HP Workstation; Win7 Ultimate SP1 x64 ---> HP monitor with native resolution of 1280x1024. (video card is an NVS 310 which supports higher resolutions)

Client: HP ThinClient; Windows 10 IoT Enterprise for Thin Clients 64 ---> 3xHP FHD monitos, 1xHP 55" FHD display
---------------------------------------------

For establishing connection we are using mstsc.exe (remote desktop connection).

Any feedback is appreciated

Hi,

Our Windows 2008 R2 Remote Desktop Service server has a "boost_interprocess" under the "programdata" folder on C drive.  Does anyone one know what is used for and why?  The folder inside contain long random folder name.  The server is not infected with any malware or spyware or virus of any kind as we already check.  Any info will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

Local account credentials and licensing

$
0
0

Hello, we have a Windows 2008 R2 server used for terminal services.

The server is configured and is working fine.

All domain users can login without issues.

If we login with a domain administrator account, this server successfully contacts the license server and validates.

However, we have the server locked with a local administrator account, as there is an application that runs in the background.

Because of this, we are encountering the error: "The Remote Desktop Session Host Server Configuration tool is running with local account credentials. In Licensing Diagnosis, the Total Number of licenses Available value may be inaccurate." It gives the warning that we have a number of days before the remote services is disabled.

Obviously we don't want this to happen.

My questions is if this will actually be disabled, even though we have validated with the license server before with a domain account?

Do we have to have server locked with a domain account to get rid of this error?

Many Thanks,

Ravi


Remote Desktop into Server 2016 gives black screen. Same issue as bug recently found/fixed in 2012 R2

$

Is anyone aware of a fix to this issue?

See the post from Sasha (Microsoft): here

Here is a post to the MS KB acknowledging and providing a resolution for 2012 R2:here 

To resolve the issue when it happens, i need to kill the TermService service (it won't stop normally as it is in a deadlock state). I can then start the service again and it's business as usual until it happens again.

I can't see any info about this in RDS 2016... Anyone else? MS?

Thanks,

Stephen

Remote Desktop can't connect to VM

$
0
0

We started using Hyper-V a few months ago. Until a few days ago, everything is working great. We have 2 physical hosts running Windows Server 2012. Each physical host has been running one VM (Windows Server 2008 R2) which is replicating to the other host.

We have added another virtual machine. It works great except Remote Desktop Connection cannot connect to it. When I try, I get the standard message:

Remote Desktop can't connect to the remote computer for one of these reasons:
1) Remote access to the server is not enabled
2) The remote computer is turned off
3) The remote computer is not available on the network

I've checked everything I can think of including:

  • VM is allowing remote access. To be sure, I even turned it off and back on.
  • There is no firewall blocking anything. To be sure, Windows firewall is turned off.
  • Remote Desktop CAN connect to the other VMs including the one running on the same physical host.
  • Everything else on the VM seems to be working. IIS is running there and web pages come up nicely. File access is good too.

There are 2 differences between this new VM and the other ones:

  • This OS is Windows Server 2008 (not R2). The other VMs are R2.
  • This VM was not created from scratch. I used Sysinternals Disk2vhd to generate a VHD from an existing physical machine and then configured a new VM to use that VHD.

I'd be very grateful for advice on how to get RDC working.

Server 2012: How to configure VDI (RD Connection Broker?) to access AD using specific account

$
0
0

Dear collegues,

I'm currently setting up a Proof of Concept VDI lab, and stuck on a delicate moment. Googling didn't help.

I work for a large company with many local offices. In our AD structure, each of local offices has its computers and users in a specific OU. One of these users (OU Admin) has rights to create/modify/delete accounts within his own OU, and has read rights for the rest of AD.

While setting desktop virtualization, I've stuck being unable to set an account (OU Admin) to create/modify virtual desktops' computer accounts in AD.

Default config doesn't work for apparent reasons.

I tried this way:

Server Manager => Remote Desktop Services => Collections => Create Collection
Step "Unattended Settings"
Checked "Specify the distinguised name of the organization unit" and gave a name
Error text:
The RD Connection Broker server does not have access to add the virtual desktops to the Active Directory domain. Configure access by using the Active Directory page of Deployment Properties.

Going to Server Manager => Remote Desktop Services => Overview
Window "Deployment overview", Tasks => Edit deployment properties
Navigating to Active Directory
Still, there is no option to configure AD access account.

Any help would be most appreciable.

Thank you.


Host RemoteApp on Windows 8.1

I am using a laptop with Windows 8.1 Pro edition, and have the original Microsoft Surface RT.

I'd like to run Adobe Lightfoot on my Surface by setting up a remote app connection to the Windows 8.1 box.

I cannot even get Notepad to work.  The RDP RemoteApp starts, asks for my credentials, authenticates successfully .... then nothing.  I used the RemoteApp Tool for the GUI simplicity to configure my RDP files.  I noticed my event viewer security log shows me successfully logging in, then suddenly it logs me out.

Anybody familiar with doing this setup?

Moving to Windows 2016, RDSH vs VDI?

$
0
0

We currently manage an 8 node Windows 2008 RDS farm which serves approximately 250 users. We utilise roaming profiles and redirected folders. The majority of our users operate from non-domain joined thin clients. Users connect to a full RDS desktop session rather than using local client desktops and published apps.

We will be replacing the existing thin clients with new domain joined t/clients and domain joined laptops. We are planning to deploy a new Windows 2016 RDS farm. Our initial plan was to stick with RDSH rather than VDI, however, we intend to use published apps with local desktop sessions. are also thinking about utilising both redirected folders and user profile disks.  VDI looks interesting but its unknown territory to us and we're struggling to get to grips with the pros, cons, costs, & licensing implications of RDSH vs VDI. There seems to be a lot of inconsistent and confusing documentation out there!

Anyone been in a similar situation or can point us in the direction of some straight forward documentation?

Launching Outlook from RDS But Cannot Terminate

$
0
0

Hello,

My goal here is to create an Outlook profile for each user who launches a published app from an RDS server by opening Outlook with zero config and then terminating the Outlook app that was spawned from the RDS server. We have GPO in place to enable Outlook zero config and no PST file (online mode only) when Outlook launches from the server. Each day the user profiles on the RDS have to be removed and are recreated when user logs in next day. 

To accomplish this I created a .cmd script file that is launched as a published app:

@echo off
cmd /c Start /min outlook.exe
Start AOSCLUSTER.axc
ping 192.0.2.2 -n 1 -w 30000 > nul
taskkill /f /im Outlook.exe



The Script will start Outlook minimized and will start our ERP program. The script is supposed to wait 30 seconds and then terminate Outlook that was spawned form the server. The Outlook termination command terminates the Outlook session spawned from the server when Outlook isn’t already running locally on the client machine. When Outlook is already running locally on the client machine the taskill command doesn’t kill either Outlook session. Any ideas on how I could get Outlook to terminate when Outlook is already running locally on the client machine?
