Good evening,
We are looking into VDI solution for our environment. We have users that need to use VM for themselves, they are running heavy applications and session host is not the option in this case. Can anyone help me with requirements or what I need to think about before implementing this? I can find a step by step guide but those guids not explaning the real scenarios. We have ca 20 users that will use VDI.
Thank you in advanced.
Hello All,
We have an RD Gateway server and we have some users in AD that need a roaming profile on normal workstations but not for RD Gateway. Is there a setting to prevent roaming profiles from loading on the RD Gateway server?
Thank you in advance,

I am experiencing an issue with Server 2012 RDS. This is a VM running on a 2008 R2 Hyper V Cluster.
The issue seems to only affect one user, but he is the MD.
While trying to re/connect to a remote app, the screen will instead display -
Remote Desktop Services are currently busy
Although sometimes you simply just get a welcome screen that sits there doing nothing instead. It is not an easily reproduced issue, so I don't know how or why it seems to happen, just that rdpshell.exe sometimes spikes in usage and the session can/will not sign off (by either Administrator or the end user)
He will then be unable to log in until I reboot the server, which will not actually restart unless I do a reset.
I would very much like a fix for this, as getting everyone else to disconnect so I can reboot is not really a fix, and I'm sure the MD is not happy about it either.
Profile notification of event Load for component {56EA1054-1959-467f-BE3B-A2A787C4B6EA} failed, error code is -2147024894.
I've done a search for the GUID and found it belongs to "SHACCT Profile Notification Handler".I have a 4 Windows Server 2008 R2 servers. 2 running as DCs and 2 running as normal servers.
I have 6 Windows 7 Professional systems on the same network. Recently we enabled Restricted Admin mode enabled through this information.
The problem is on 3 of the 4 servers I can remote into the machine without a problem. The 1 I can't remote to I get this error:
The remote PC doesn't support Remote Administration mode.
I have checked and the registry key is set correctly. I have enabled and disabled it. I have installed all the updates. I can't figure out why it won't let me remote to it. Can anyone help me?
As far as I can tell Remote Administration Mode is enabled and I should be able to remote to it. Thanks.
I've set up a test server with a pooled vdi collection of Windows 7 desktops. I am able to use web access to connect to one of the desktops using my test account. However, if I try to use my local rdp client to connect to testhost.domain.com, it rejects the connection as my test user isn't a member of the remote desktop users group on the server. "Testhost" is the connection broker, so I had expected that by trying to RDP to that server, I would be redirected to a virtual desktop, similar to how a connection broker in a 2008R2 RDSH farm will redirect incoming connections to a farm member.
My end goal is to connect to these vdi sessions from a thin client, using the built in rdp client. Is this possible? Am I doing something wrong?
Also, what is the minimum version of RDP that could be used to connect to a 2012 connection broker / VDI pool?
My local machine is using MacOSX/linux and am able to connect to a Windows Remote Desktop machine (using Windows Remote Desktop/Remote Desktop Connection).
The Windows Remote Desktop machine is able to connect to certain servers that I cannot connect to locally on my MAC. For example, connection to database servers, specific web servers, etc.
How can I setup some kind of tunnel so that I can access the servers locally on my mac?
Hello,
What is the best way to disconnect a Remote Desktop Session through command line()s, with batch or PowerShell ?

Good day, I had purchased a Windows Server 2016 Standard license in October, and the one I purchased is with the following title:
Windows Server 2016 Standard 10-Client Access License (English)
I have activated the server successfully, but when I try adding the CALs in RD licensing manager, I get an error that the license code is not recognized. I figure that it's looking for a CAL purchase license code. But according to the title I thought I had purchased Windows Server including 10 CALs. Am I wrong? Or how do I go about licensing the CALs?
Thank you very much in advance for any help. I've spent hours online looking for a solution and even with MS support on the phone, but I am not getting any helpful information.
Kind regards, Timmy.
Hi, I've this issue after migration of RDS server from 2012 R2 to 2016 and client have Windows 10 1709 but with Windows 10 1703 no issue.
Any suggestions?
Hi Everyone,
I'm one of the help desk guys in our company and we're trying to figure out how we can give a standard user to view the process of other users via task manager. We're using Windows Server 2012 R2 Terminal Hosts. Reason why we need this is because we've been getting very high CPU usage from some users in the terminal servers and it slows down everyone. We'd like to grant some members of the help desk team access to view the processes without giving them admin accounts to the server. With this, the team can analyze what process consumes the most CPU.
Thanks is advance.
I'm setting up several new Remote Desktop servers (session-based). Do I need to install the RD Web Access role if the users will only be connecting via the RDP client? It wants to install it as part of the default installation, but for security reasons I think it might be better not to have it, unless not doing so will cause loss of other functionality.
Thanks

I need to configure high availability & load balancing for RDS Gateway & RDS Web service in my RDS 2012 setup. Can you please confirm the steps for same. Is there any way to do the same without third party application or Azure load balancer.
Hello,
I have a situation where users need a program to be constantly running (it does overnight data polling from a point-of-sale system) but they want to access it remotely. I'd like to use RemoteApp since it is simpler than Remote Desktop/Virtual Desktop, but I want to make sure they can easily close RemoteApp sessions without actually killing the app. Possible?
The app is GUI only, and yes, I understand it is stupid that the polling system does not run as a service. It is a very old, proprietary program. I couldn't find in any documentation on RemoteApp whether it could do this or not.
Thanks!
How can I preconfigure which icons are pinned to the taskbar by default for new users?
For example, after we installed Chrome, it now automatically shows up on the taskbar as new users log on. But we rely on the shortcut on the Public Desktop to ensure everyone has access and do not want it automatically cluttering the taskbar for every new user profile. We want to predefine what is there, or, if nothing else, ensure that nothing shows up there by default. We are not interested in blocking users from pinning things there themselves, only controlling what appears there upon first logon.
Nor am I interested in a post-user-profile creation cleanup script; I want to find and prevent this at the source.
We are also seeing the Server Manager, PowerShell, and Windows Explorer showing up on the taskbar. Sure, the user can right-click and delete them, but that is not the point; I want to prevent them. But a search of C:\Users\Default and the default user registry hive reveals nothing that I can see as being relevant.
I am not worried that the users will do any damage if they use one of these shortcuts, since I am sure they would have little, if any, actual rights within the application; I just want to minimize the clutter and potential for stray clicks or boredom getting them into places they should not see. Out of sight, out of mind...
Thank you. Karel Grulich, MCSE, SBS
Is there any way we can restrict an exe or an application to not start if another user is already running the application?
We have a tool which conects to a Database and if the tool is used by two users at the same time it creats duplicate entries in database. So do we have any options to restrict the access to an exe or application only for one user?
