Force each new specific user app launch to take a new host - RDS 2016

$
0
0

Hi,

I have a OCR software published as a RemoteApp distributed in several servers. The problem is that this software only allows one simultaneous connections per user, per server. In some scenarios I have to run multiples instances of this software simultaneously. I do not want to connect manually to the available host to launch the software. I really want to use it as an RemoteApp. Is there a policy or any other way to force, in a given collection, each new specific user app launch to take a new host. To give an example:

simple RDS architecture: 1 broker + 5 hosts (A to E) - RemoteApp : App1

User Paul launch App1 - broker takes server A

Paul launch 2nd instance of App1 - broker cannot take Server A, it takes server C.

Fred launch App1  -­­­­­­­ broker takes server A.

Paul 3rd instance of App1 - broker cannot take server A or C, it takes server B.

Fred 2nd App1 - server D

Paul closes 2nd instance

Paul launch 4th instance - broker may now take server C again as 2nd instance is now closed.

Sorry for the long example. Just to clear.

Regards,

Lucas


How can you see the password hint when trying to connect to a windows 2008 r2 server using remote desktop?

I changed the administrator password on a windows 2008 r2 server last night and am now trying to use remote desktop services (RDC) to connect to the server from a windows 7 profession pc. I can't for the life of me remember the password - and need to see the password hint when connecting. How can you see the password hint when using remote desktop to connect to a windows server 2008 R2. Or is there another way to see the hint without actual physical access to the server?

Remote Desktop Connection Broker Service not starting

$

Hi Guys,

My Remote Desktop Connection Broker service (Windows server 2016) is unable to start, when I try to start it this is what appears:

I than go and take a look at the dependencies tab and it says that, This service depends on the following system components

Remote Procedure Call (PRC)
Windows Internal Database

I can see that the “Remote Procedure Call (RPC)” services is Running fine but “Windows Internal Database” is not.

Here is where my problem is:

When I try to start “Windows Internal Database” services this is what it comes back with:

I then go to the “Log On” tab and the user that is trying to logon to start this service is

NT SERVICE\MSSQL$MICROSOFT##WID

So the problem is clearly with this user and/or password.

My Question is:

  1. How can I confirm that this user is created? Where can I find it?
  2. If this user is not created or has been removed, can I re-create this user again? If so, how?
  3. How did this happen?

Kind Regards

2019 RDS Connection Problems, Errors, Weirdness

$
0
0

I'm trying to set up 2019 RDS to replace our 2008R2 Terminal Server.  I used this paper as a guide, but did not publish any apps, just using session based desktops: https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/Windows-Server-2016-Remote-ffc383fe

I have a broker server, gateway server, web server and two session hosts.  Licensing server is running on the broker server but not activated yet.  I also haven't enabled the gateway server yet as I'm just testing internally. So far I have just one collection pointing to one of the session host servers. We are not testing any remote apps, just session based desktops.

Here's the problem:

  • I'm able to initially get two users connected (either directly on the broker server, or through the Remote Desktop Web Access page) If a third tries to connect, it hangs at a black screen and eventually gives the message "failed to reconnect to your remote session.  Please try to connect again".  I would expect to see a message about not enough licenses or do you want to bump someone else off.
  • During the black screen time, and before the error message, the active two users get bumped off, but then automatically reconnect.
  • If I then log off one or both of the active users, I'm unable to log anyone into the server again.  They all get the black screen and the error message.  At this point I'm only able to log into the server on the console.  The only way to fix this is to reboot the broker server, and the cycle begins again.

Here's what shows up in the Event Viewer on the Broker server:

  • When active users get bumped out theTerminalServices-LocalSessionManager log shows an error like this: “Session 3 has been disconnected, reason code 3489660929”. Also shows reason codes 12 and 0.  Also get this error in the same log: “An error occurred when transitioning from CsrConnected in response to EvCsrInitialized. (ErrorCode 0x80070102)”

  • In the RemoteDesktopServices-RdpCoreTS Operational log, we get lots of weird errors:

-TCP socket READ operation failed, error 10054”; “RDP_TCP: An error was encountered when transitioning from StateUnknown in response to Event_Disconnect (error code 0x80072746).”;

-RDP_SEC: An error was encountered when transitioning from FStateProcessingData in response to FEventPostReceiveFailed (error code 0x80072746).”

-RDP_SEC: An error was encountered when transitioning from FStatePassthrough in response to FEventCheckAndCompleteReadsFailed (error code 0x8007139F)”.

-Failed InputMgr->GetHandles' in CUMRDPConnection::GetInputHandles at 4043 err=[0x80070102]”; “'GetInputHandles Failed' in CUMRDPConnection::GetInputHandles at 1401 err=[0x80070102]”

Here’s what I’ve tried:

  • All servers are updated
  • Removed and recreated my collection
  • Rebooted many times
  • Restarted the Windows Audio service
  • Tried both from the RD Web Access page and directly connecting to the Broker server
  • Tried disabling firewalls on all RDS servers

I’m kind of at a loss and it’s driving me bananas. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

Dear all,

  1. Initial data:
    RD Gateway deployment (let assume that it is single instance, win2019server). Exposed to Internet
  2. Windows workstations with allowed remote connections option enabled

Currently access to workstations can be obtained via RD Gateway

Target goal:

Get users possibility to connect to their workstations from browser interface.

Preliminary investigations:

Need to add RD Web access service + Remote Desktop web client.

Could someone please advise is this scenario possible or not?

I want to make a stress on that I need to access from browser not to a published via remote apps applications but to workstations via full RDP session.

Thanks in advance!

Allowing help desk to have shadowing access

What is the best way to allow a help desk tech to have access to RDS sessions and shadow sessions? I don't want them to be able to change settings on the collections or settings of that nature, just be able to see who is connected and shadow the session.

Thank you

RDS HTML5 WebClient Feature road map

Hi,

Couple of questions relating to the RDS HTML5 WebClient.

1) Is redirected printing on the roadmap for this? It only seems to work currently if the Session host has access directly to the printer, whereas the regular mstsc client can redirect to local printers.

2) Copy and paste of files from local machine to RDS through the web client. is this on the roadmap?

3) Redirection of local drives, is this on the roadmap?

Thanks!


2016 RDS slower than 2008R2, understanding

$
0
0

hi all,

knowledge: last year we migrate some 2008R2 Server to 2016. All new Server has performance problems.

old server: 4CPU, 32GB, 150 and more User, slow wifi network = no performanceproblems, user works fine

new server: With 4CPUs and 20 Users we have 98% CPU workload.! We upgrade to 6CPU, 32-64GB 50User, because more use can't work on one server.  

Now we use 2 Server with more CPUs to solve the problem.

is 2016 a step backward :-)

we know the RDS best practise, but I think 2016 with default setting (and without 100 registry settings and file modifys etc.) should be better as 2008RS2 RDS.

Is my Windows Server blocking my App from running properly?

$

Hi Folks,

I have a small program which pings a remote API to obtain football stats.

The App works fine on my W10 laptops, but as it runs 24/7 I decided to put it on a dedicated VPS server.

However, it isn't able to access the API remotely. Windows appears to be blocking any API calls.

I can access the API without a problem from the server using Firefox, so it doesn't appear to be an issue with the API, although IE doesn't work properly.

I checked the Event Log it shows the following:

An account failed to log on.
Subject:
    Security ID:        NULL SID
    Account Name:        -
    Account Domain:        -
    Logon ID:        0x0

Logon Type:            3

Account For Which Logon Failed:
    Security ID:        NULL SID
    Account Name:        ADMIN
    Account Domain:        

Failure Information:
    Failure Reason:        Unknown user name or bad password.
    Status:            0xC000006D
    Sub Status:        0xC0000064

I am guessing that the problem is with WIndows as my program has the API username/password hard-coded.

I've tried adding the program to the list of "safe aps", but it is still failing.

Any gurus out there have any ideas?

Many thanks,

Pete

How to change password in RDP session

$
0
0
In my situation all RDP clients are remote over the internet. their passwords expire every 60 days. How can the user change their password before it expires? CTRL ALT DEL will not work because it takes you to a password change on your local machine. Note the users have no access to a desktop only a single application is forced to run through the user profile.

Remote Desktop Gateway Support One Time Passwords?

$
0
0

We are considering setting up a Remote Desktop Gateway server so users can remote control their office desktop PCs from home without needing VPN.

The plan is for it to only be a secure pass-through from the Internet to their desktop PC.  There will be not be any terminal services login or web apps hosted on the server.  We have not decided if RDWeb will be available.  It is likely that users will just use a RDP client such as the Microsoft MSTSC.exe Remote Desktop client in Windows or similar app for iOS, Android or OSX rather than use a browser to reach their PC.

I noticed that most RDP clients, mobile apps and web browsers have an option to remember credentials so they can log in without typing credentials the next time they connect.  This will be a security threat if their PC is stolen and not encrypted.  Is there any way to provide access, but prevent users from reusing saved passwords to connect to the Remote Desktop Gateway without using smart cards?

I had that the idea of having some kind of one time password system to authenticate through the RD Gateway so saved passwords would be useless.  What does Remote Desktop Gateway support that can do this?

Hi guys, 

Is there an easy way to migrate local user profiles on an remote desktop server to user profile disks? I am replacing a Server 2008 R2 and want to start using UPD's instead on a Server 2012 R2. 

Best regards,

Blackscreen after logon

$

Hi

We have a problem with logon times on our RDP 2012R2 servers. It must be related to the roaming profile.

The problem:

The users logon on via RDP. The profile gets loaded, applying group policy settings and so on, and then the "black screen" starts. I can take up to 15 minutes before the users desktop is visible and ready to work.

While there are black screen I can press CTRL+ALT+DEL and go to the task manager. The only process that is working is explorer.exe.

If we create a new profile the users are logged in less than a minute, but the logon process and the time for the black screen increases over time. It happens for all our users on our 30 RDS servers.

Any suggestions?

RDS server fails to connect to domain - users cannot login

Hi Tech Folks,

Looking for a solution

The server is a VM host 2012 with two RDS server running on it.

TS1- 2008  (RDS)

TS2 -2012 (RDS)

I came in today to do a upgrade to a software package and could not login to the 2008r2 RDS.

The 2012r2 is working fine and users can connect but for some reason my 2008r2 will not allow users to connect.

If I try to connect I get a “Access is Denied“  (Using administrator login from my WS)

If I go in to Hyper-V Manager and try to connect (Using administrator login) I get in to the 2008 RDS and can run the software application but that is only on the 2008VM RDS server no user can login from his PC.

I have 50 Cals and 50 RDS licenses. It was working just fine.

Keep in mind the other 2012 RDS server is working just fine.

I ran through the licenses Wizard and it said all of the licenses were installed.

At one time the image below came up while I was login to the VM 2008 RDS. Has not come up again.

I think for some reason the license might not be installed this happened once on my 2012 RDS server but I can’t

remember  where to put it in.

I think this might fix the problem. (getting too old I guess)

Please help if you can, this is a production server and needs to be up and running tomorrow if all possible.

I will be here all night it looks like

Thanks again for your help

Jim

UPDATE - maybe this is the problem - how do I fix it?

Thanks!


'logon attempt failed' continuously from a Windows 10 machine connecting to 2012 gateway and Remoteapp

$

We have an issue with windows 10 connecting to 2012 remoteapp servers. This is an issue with ONLY one windows 10 user so far. This happens with any user trying to connect from that machine. The user can login to RDweb just fine. When he connects to the app, it will just pop up with 'login attempt failed' security dialog box. The behavior is similar as to when you have a windows 7 box without the latest RDP version installed.

Has anybody seen this before from a windows 10 box? I did notice that the user is on a 'public' network. Should I change it to private and have him try again? That doesn't make much sense though because the traffic is going out. Im thinking its some policy or third party app blocking RDP.

Could I be missing something here? Profile issue? Firewall? Antivirus?

User is on windows 10 with RDP 10 supported.

RDS 2012R2 SSO has stopped working

$

Good Day,

We have a simple RDS farm with 5 hosts and 2 GW servers. This morning out of the blue the SSO stopped working. No matter what browser is used (Chrome, IE, or EDGE) our users are now being asked to login to our RDS Farm.

I know there was a change in the latest Windows update that removed the setting on windows 10 machines that removed the "allow remote desktop connections". I created a GPO that would allow this for certain computers but I wouldn't think that new GPO would cause SSO to break. It is a user setting in another GPO and I have verified that it still is in place.

Was a change made to how the browser is allowed to pass these credentials on to the RDP farm?

Here are the login settings from the farm. They have been unchanged since the farm rolled out. Maybe they need to be modified?
