The Remote Desktop Session Host server is within its grace period Question

On my Windows 2012 Server, when I open the RD Licensing Diagnoser, I see this:

The Remote Desktop Session Host server is within its grace period, but the RD Session Host server has not been configured with any license server.

Configure a license server for the Remote Desktop Session Host server. If you have an existing license server, specify that license server for the RD Session Host server. Otherwise, install RD Licensing on a computer on your network and Configure RD Session Host server to use it.

I have a few questions.  First, I have 10 virtual machines setup (all Windows 7 Enterprise).  I have my 10 VDI licenses for those machines.  Do I need another license for my Remote Desktop Session Host?  If not, how do I license my RD Session Host Server?  If so, does anyone know how much they cost?  I have no licensing server.  I just have my Windows 2008 server that is my AD and DNS Server (where my GPO's sit too) and my Windows 2012 server that is dedicated to only running VM's for the remote users.

Certificate mismatch for internal RDSH

Im sure this question has been asked/addressed over a dozen times. I do apologize in advanced for the repeat.

I have RDS setup on a 2008R2 box with a single certificate for the RDG. When users connect, they obviously get a mismatch certificate warning upon connecting to the internal RDSH server (RDSH.domain.local).

Besides using an internal CA, what other options do i have? I guess i can technically use a wildcard certificate and use a split DNS, but that's currently not an option.

Thanks

Terminal Server Licensing doesn't assign user licence

Hi,

We've Windows Server 2008 R2 as Terminal Licensing Server, without Remote Desktop Session Host server on the network. Licensing server is member of domain and SRDLS configuration says everything green.
On Licensing Server I can see a lot of Added licences (column "Total licences") but for all of them there is 0 Issued, and a lot of clients are using RDS service. There is no any specific Terminal event logs.

How I can start troubleshooting this issue?

Potential ideas:
- how can I check if Terminal CALs are activated?
- how can I check if my clients are using that wanted Terminal License server?

Remote WebApp single sign-on not working on Win2012

I've found a lot of articles on this problem with Windows 2008 remote desktop servers, but nothing I can find pertains to Windows 2012 RDS.  According to the documentation it's supposed to work more easily with 2012, but it is not working in my environment.  The environment is simple: I have a single Windows 2012 server with all of the roles installed on it - RD Gateway, RD Licensing, RD Web Access, RD Session Host and RD Connection Broker.  The internal and external server names are the same, and I have a GoDaddy UCC certificate that is set up as Trusted for the RD Connection broker for single sign-on and publishing, as well as for RD Web Access and Gateway services.  I'm stumped as to where to go from here to get this to work.  I've tried a few of the suggestions from the Windows 2008 server articles, including editing the renderscripts.js file, but the symptom remains the same.

What happens is that the initial sign-on to the web site is fine, but when a user tries to open an app, they get the logon dialog box shown at the end of this post. This happens whether connecting internally or externally. Typing in the password allows the user to run the apps, and after that they aren't prompted to log in again for other apps. There are no event log errors that I can find either on the server or client.  Depending on the operating system, some of the error dialogs look slightly different, showing that the logon that fails is to "server.domain.com."  I can't figure out how to fix this, so any help would be appreciated.

RDS 2012 R2 - open connection in windowed mode?

We built a new RDS 2012 R2 environment and are publishing a full desktop for use with remote users. The issue we are having is we would like the users to be able to open the connection in a windowed mode. Right now when the users logs onto the RD web access server and clicks the collection icon the connection opens full screen across all the monitors the user  has. I see no way to configure this option. Is is possible to have the connection open in a windows VS full screen across every monitor?

Remote Desktop connects to a 'Black Screen'

Hi,

I have a windows 2008 Sp2 server running as a Virtual Server on a windows 2008 R2 Hyper-V Host. The Server is currently the passive node of a CCR cluster in an Exchange 2007Sp2 Mail box Role. We use SCCM to patch the Exchange Environment with the restart suppressed in order to control the reboots and Failover. However recently the patches went out to all our servers and the reboot did not suppress, so as such there was no control on the restarts.

This caused an issue for RDP on two of our servers,

Specifically, a Black Screen on RDP connection

The first Server was the Hyper-V host (2008 R2). We were quickly able to resolve the RDP Black Screen on this server by using the fix of copying the rdpcorekmts.dll file from a non patched windows 2008 R2 Server.

On the second server, a  windows 2008 Sp2 Hyper-V Guest with the Exchange Mailbox role in a CCR Cluster (Currently the Passive Node) we have being unable to find a resolution. Server 2008 Sp2 does not have the rdpcoremts.dll file so this fix was not applicable. When we attempt to RDP the Server we are connecting but only to a Black Screen. The same applies if we try to connect to the Server from the Hyper-V Host mmc. So we have no console or RDP access to this server. However, the Server appears to be functioning normally

I can Ping the Server.

Exchange CCR Copy Status is Healthy. (Currently the Passive Node)

I can Connect to the Admin Shares

I can Remote Registry the Server

I can Remote Services to the Server. All Services including Remote Desktop Service are running

I can Remote the Event Viewer. There are no apparent Errors in the Event Logs to suggest that there is an issue with Remote Desktop.

Firewall and Antivirus are disabled. No routers between Client and Servers.

The Black Screen remains in Safe Mode or Low Resolution startup.

We have booted up from the W2k8 DVD to a command prompt and following the

directions from ‘ Windows Server 2008 Repair Install’ thread we tried

Chkdsk c: /f /r /x

SFC

Startrep.exe

We have used Testdisk to check the integrity of the MBR & MFT-

We have Run Remote Desktop with administrator privilege from Windows 7 Desktops, Windows XP, Windows 2008 & 2003 Servers. All leading to a Black Screen

We have tried mstsc /admin /v:[server ip]

We attempted to reinstall the RDP Client.

We also tried a number of other fixes that relate to the registry settings HKEY_USERS\DEFAULT\Control Panel Colurs

As yet, none of the above have fixed the issue and we are running out of ideas

Thank you in advance for any possible Help

Barry.

Hello,

We are in the process of deploying the Azure Pack Private Cloud and have run into an issue with configuration of the Console Access.  We have been able to successfully configure the Console to work internally but external access is not functional.  When a user attempts to connect from Windows 8.1 to the RDP Console via the Remote Desktop Services Gateway they are seeing the error:

An Authentication error has occurred (code 0x607)

Internal access works flawlessly.

Environment: Windows Server 2012r2 Data Center, fully updated

Windows Azure Pack RTM - Distributed Installation - 7 VMs - wapadmapi1, wapadmauth1, wapadmprtl1, waptenauth1, waptenprtl1, waptenpriapi1, waptenpubapi1

System Center 2012r2 Components: VMM, Service Provider Foundation, SCORCH, SCOM

SQL Server 2012 Enterprise SP1 running on Server 2012r2

Hyper-V Failover Cluster 2012r2

Wildcard Certificate has been assigned and RDP Gateway/VMM/SPF/Hyper-V have been configured as per http://www.hyper-v.nu/archives/mvaneijk/2013/09/windows-azure-pack-console-connect/ (PS this article needs to be updated because the set-scspfvmconnectglobalsettings cmdlet doesn't work on RTM) and http://technet.microsoft.com/en-US/library/dn469415.aspx

Lockdown Policy for new users RDP Cals? HELP!

I have been trying to figure this out. We have purchased 5 RDP Cals and have terminal server license all setup now. I have created two users called Office1 and Office2 and created a group called test which they are now apart of. I want to edit the group policy so that when Office1-5 connect through Remote Desktop they only see our Point Of sale software and nothing else no access to my computer, start button, no start up programs etc. I was able to edit some stuff in Local Group Policy like remove Run from the start menu under administrator templates but that also removed it from my administrator log in and is not specific to Office1-5. I saw a few posts online that I can setup environments using Group Policy Management..I installed it but when I open it I get a error saying "To manage group policy you must log on to the computer with a domain user account." Seems like it wants me to setup domain controller which I do not want to do since all our computers are already setup on a work group. Any help would be great if you have experience with this or can point me in the right direction!!!!

Event ID's 4005, 50 and 56 on Server 2008 R2 RDS

My event log's are being hammered with Event 4005 The Windows logon process has unexpectedly terminated, Event 50 The Terminal Server security layer detected an error in the protocol stream and has disconnected the clientand Event 56 The RDP protocol component <component> detected an error in the protocol stream and has disconnected the client.

I have followed the suggestions in http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc734097(v=ws.10).aspx and searched on this without finding a solution to make the events go away.

I also tried following this suggestion to remove two Windows Updates (even though I have Win 2008 Standard R2 and not SBS) http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/dd7157b8-8ecc-4a13-88ad-f4ca0d3b3249/error-the-windows-logon-process-has-unexpectedly-terminated?forum=smallbusinessserver

I have cross referenced the dates & times of these events with a login audit file I keep and hoping to find a pattern related to specific users but no luck.

Before I open a paid support ticket, I just want to find out if there is any common thread to these Event ID's.

Can these be caused by:

1) an RDP worm/malware?

2) Macintosh RDP clients?

3) Disconnected session being logged off after 2 hrs by policy?

Greetings everyone,

I am looking into Windows Server 2012 for a RDS solution.  I'm hoping to use the RemoteApp functionality.  If an app published via RemoteApp needs to launch a secondary app like Excel or Outlook, does it launch the local client's copy or does the secondary app need to be installed on the server in order for this to work?  Thanks for your time in advance.

Cheers!

Windows 2012 R2 - Intermittent RDP Printing

Hello!

   I have built a Windows 2012 R2 server with Remote Desktop Services running on it.  Remote users are having trouble with inconsistent printing through their RDP clients.  Their printers show up as redirected printers and do print sometimes, but other times nothing prints - the user click print, select their printer, and nothing shows up.  Later it will just start working for them again.  The problem seems to be universal - it is happening on clients with different versions of Windows, different printer models, and different printer manufacturers.  Has anyone seen this?  Are there any hotfixes for this that I can install?  I have all of the latest Windows Updates installed.

Thanks... Dave

Is this the right thing for me / How Does Remote Desktop Services work?

February 5, 2014, 1:54 pm

Hi I am a newbiee at Servers and all that relate to it and i am trying to find out  if remote desktop may be what we need in our company.

What I am looking for is a solution where which ever softwares installed in the server is available to everyone in the company through a (shared/floating licences), they can use the server to store and share documents and exchange emails and all this should be achived through a single login to the a server for each user from any operating system. can this be offered with RDS?

If i understand correctly in order to access the resources on the server using a remote laptop i.e at another location you would have to use Remote Desktop Services and usually the process is as follow

Laptop at another location -----> using a software it connects you to PC at work -----> which  Connects you to the Sever 

is this correct?

following this understanding i have the following additional question,

1.  Is it possible to access the resources on the server directly i.e from a Laptop without having to go trough a desktop stetioned in an office? and if so will the programes accessed there work just as well as they would if they were running on the used computer?

2. If I have installed a software on the server, for example "Visual studio" using a single licence and we have 15 employees in the company who require to use it, do I have to purchase 14 more licences or is the 1 licence shared amongst the 15 people? and does this apply to other programs aswell.

Thanks in advance

I have RDS server setup with gateway and several applications.   I have a lot of users using the applications without issue.  I have 1 user that has a new Windows 7 laptop and since getting the new laptop can't connect to the applications.  I can use his credentials from several other computers without issue, it's his computer with the issue.

When he signs on he is prompted for the domain credentials,  keys them in and then gets the screen showing the applications.  when he clicks on the application instead of being prompted for the user id again, he gets a prompt of RDS Gateway and when he keys in his user it fails that it can't find the remote server.

He is the only user having this issue.

Certificates for load balanced Web Access hosts

We are going to set up and load balance 2 Web Access hosts (Server 2012 R2) for our RDS deployment. The load balancing will be handled by a Cisco ACE. In a single node Web Access deployment, it is straightforward how to request the certificate: Go through the standard IIS process with the FQDN and service name, install, export the client cert and you are ready to go.

How should I do this with the 2 nodes? Load balancing and ACE are both WAY outside of my wheelhouse. I was thinking I would request multi-domain certs for both servers with the FQDN of each along with the service name, but our network engineer recommended against that.

Can anyone offer me any basic guidance?

Hi

Is it possible to enable SSO (Login only at TMG Auth-Form) in the following scenario:

External Client opens Webbrowser and authenticate at the TMG Auth-Form, after that he will be forwarded to the RDWEB Page. <-- SSO to this Point works

When he clicks a RemoteApp there should no Login prompt and the RemoteApp over Remote Desktop Gateway should start with the Credentials entered at the TMG Auth-Form.

How can i accomplish this Task?

Running RDS on Server 2008r2 - connection drops suddenly and completely

January 31, 2014, 1:23 pm

We have about 50 RDS servers running on Windows 2008r2.  These are all virtual machines running within VMWare ESXi 5.5. Some are configured in a farm and others are "stand-alone".  All are in a single domain environment and we have no issues logging in and working.  BUT, at random times, users will "lose" their sessions.  Not the normal "session has disconnected, we will try to connect x number of times" that you see if there is a connectivity problem.  When the connection/session is "lost" the RDP client just closes immediately.  Clients PCs are running on a mix of XP and Windows 7.  Does not seem to be any rhyme or reason on which machines or users this happens to.  Have found nothing relative in the server or client logs.  It's not a keep-alive issue, you can be actively typing when this occurs.  Some times we can go for a day or two with no disconnects and sometimes some users will be disconnected 8-10 times a day.   This seems to happen at random - one user may be disconnected one time and everyone else is fine.  The next time it may be 10 sessions.  Haven't been able to tie it to a single farm, group of servers, group of users, time of day, or group of PCs.  Any ideas?

Thanks!
