Hi,
I am struggling with a strange issue. In an RDS 2012 R2 VDI setup I am unable to shadow Windows 7 VDI computers.
The Windows 7 VDI computers are all updated with the lates Microsoft Updates including the RDP 8.x updates.
When I try to shadow a user from with in the Server Manager I get an "access denied" error message. I have created a Remote Assistance GPO which enables the Domain Admins Group to perform unsolicited remote assistance. The same GPO configures the Windows Firewall to allow Remote Assistance.
I know this GPO works, because I have no issues shadowing my WIndows 8.1 VDI computers
During my research I have found these registry values:
AllowRemoteRPC
fServerEnableRDP8
Both are set to 1 (Enabled)
When I set these registry values I get another error massage when I am trying to shadow that says "The version of Windows running on this server does not support user shadowing" which is not true since I can shadow my WIndows 8.1 VDI computers :)
Is shadowing Windows 7 VDI computers not supported in RDS 2012 R2 or am I missing something?
