I have created a rds deployment as follows

3x Server 2012r2
RDSH01 (RemoteApp Host)
RDSGW01 (is actually running web access)
RDSBR01 (Broker)

I created it using the add role wizard and everything is currently working as expected.

When I run get-RDremoteapp I get the following message

Get-RDRemoteApp : A Remote Desktop Services deployment does not exist on RDSH01.domain.com. This operation can be
performed after creating a deployment. For information about creating a deployment, run "Get-Help
New-RDVirtualDesktopDeployment" or "Get-Help New-RDSessionDeployment".+ CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [Write-Error], WriteErrorException+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.WriteErrorException,Get-RDRemoteApp

I have tried running this remotely and directly on each of the 3 machines above, however I get the same error message.

Any suggestions?

Guys, this wonderfully handy tool was able to decode the MSLicensing key (and hence the RDS/TC Cal) info on Windows XP but no longer works in Windows 7. Is there an equivalent tool for Windows 7/2008 R2 ?

RDS 2012 R2 HA - CustomRdpProperty gets overwritten by sync

Hi,

I am implementing an RDS 2012 R2 Farm at a customer site. The customer is using different DNS-names internally and externally so I have implemented a Custom RDP Property via PowerShell on the Farm.

Set-RDSessionCollectionConfiguration -CollectionName "Collection" -CustomRdpProperty "use redirection server name:i:1 `n alternate full address:s:broker.external.com"

I can see, the property is applied and synced to the other broker servers - perfect!

I have verified via PowerShell and registry and I have tested that the 'redirection' actually Works - fantastic!

The problem is, that when the farm is synchronized Again, my custom property gets overwritten/deleted.

What am I missing? Permissions?

Is the Custom Property supposed to get written to the SQL database that is used for Broker high availability?

Hopefully someone can help med with this one :-).

Thanks in advance!

How to Set Certificates for use in connection

I am using windows 2012 servers in a windows 2012 domain and I have the RDP License server setup on the PDC. For each Host server I have used Group Policy to point the server to the license server which works fine. However my company has now obtained a wildcard certificate that it wises to use for all RDP client connections. I cannot find any instructions on how to install this certificate for use on the 2 RDP servers we have. It is important to note here that there is no RDP connection broker in this setup. I most closely resembles a 2003 or 2008 simple installation.

RDSH 2012 and Printers cache

Hello,

Is it possible to clear/purge the print devices cache? Because just on one server in the RDS farm, there is a printer that is using a wrong hardware id (and showing up as unspecified in the devices and printers panel of the user):

HardwareID=PRINTENUM\PrinterConnection usbprint\hewlett-packardhp_co5005

Instead of:

HardwareID=PRINTENUM\PrinterConnection Hewlett-PackardHP_La26AB

On the same server there are a lot of print devices with the same model but they are using the right HardwareID.

Thx,

Ludovic H.

Local Service system profile grown to extremely large size

Was doing some routine maintenance on my RDSH farm and noticed that one server has much less free space than the others.  I looked at which folders were the culprit and found this one:

C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Local

It was full of files like the following:

FontCache-S-1-5-21-30371924-1664817342-1491421105-149182.dat

These files take up 50+GB of space.  My guess they're associated with user profiles.

Are they safe to delete?  I don't want to delete an actively used file.

RDS Collection Status Unknown

I realize that there is a similar thread in the forums about this already, but I have tried recreating the collections as suggested in that thread and it didn't solve the issue, so I'm asking the question again. I had one of my connection brokers crash today and since that time, all of my collections are showing an unknown status:

I am able to interact with the collections through PowerShell and the desktops appear to be functioning correctly, insomuch as users can connect to them without issue. However, they aren't listed under the Collections node in Server Manager and I can't manage them from Server Manager. This is a production system so I can do anything too crazy to test or fix it without some planning, but I was hoping that someone has experienced this issue (apart from the person in the aforementioned thread) and has a good solution for me.

My environment is Windows 2012 R2.

RDP screen goes black after successful remote login

February 6, 2011, 1:27 pm

I have a Windows 2008 Server that I have been connecting to once a month remotely to apply OS updates.  Often, I reboot that server and it uses auto-logon to login and run an application. 

Today, I rebooted the server and when I try to connect with RDP, I get the login prompt and enter my credentials, I see a few expected messages fly by on the host OS (the last one I see is the word Welcome), but then the screen goes black.

The apps on the server are running successfully because our applications can connect to them, we just can't logon to the desktop of the Windows Server 2008.

I made no configuration changes (I NEVER do) other than to apply the latest Windows Server updates.

I would prefer not to drive to the computers location, or try to coordinate a time to have the server hosting company assist me with troubleshooting; but is there anything else I can do?  Any ideas about what might cause this?

The group policy client service failed the logon access is denied.

This one is starting to get on my nerves now. We've had 2 users suffering this problem on our Remote Desktop server.

We are running two Windows Server 2008 SP2 domain controllers, with two Windows 2008 R2 servers running RD Gateway and Remote Desktop Server.

The first user I had to recreate because of following instructions I googled because it caused the user to always logon with a temporary profile on the server and I could not resolve this.

This user I have managed to cleanly delete the local logon profile.

BOTH of these users are on roaming profiles, as are most of the users that are logging in to this server (for reasons that they move around the office). On the server, the user is listed twice one with a .v2 extension (XP machines at desks)

The user we are having a problem with at the moment was working perfectly fine a couple of weeks ago when they last logged into the server.

Could this be down to me setting an over ride on the settings that force people to logout completely after an hour of idle time, resulting in an unclean logoff?

Some of the messages that are in the event log for when that user attempts to login:

 

Event id: 1542

Windows cannot load classes registry file.

 DETAIL - The system cannot find the file specified.

Event ID: 6001

The winlogon notification subscriber <Sens> failed a notification event.
Event ID: 6004
The winlogon notification subscriber <GPClient> failed a critical notification event.

 

I'm also getting a constant batch of

 

Event ID: 510
Folder redirection policy application has been delayed until the next logon because the group policy logon optimization is in effect

 

Any ideas why this should happen? I need a solution as soon as possible please as these users are running our sales department from home, and this user is due to be on the rota to do it this week! :)

Remote Desktop Gateway, can't connect from RDP 8.0 (Server 2012)

February 10, 2013, 8:38 pm

I'm racking my brain, I've done this before but I'm doing this in another lab environment . Non-Domain computers (Outside) trying to RDP in via the Gateway (Domain-Internal is working).  Certs aren't an issue as they're installed, I've tried it multiple ways, but for now I'm using the self signed generated via the RD Gateway manager.  I can go to https://rdgatewayurl/rpc and authenticate and get a blank page (external and internal).

New Domain, 2k8R2 Functional Level, no real GP customization at all, except not requiring NLA and enabling RDP on the internal "servers" in a specific OU.  My Account has Admin privileges on all the servers in question.

Another stupid question: This should also work with just the RD Gateway role installed, right?  I've tried it both ways with no luck.

RD Gateway is logging Event 4625 in the Security Log.  I feel like this should be obvious but my brain is fried.

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:		myadminaccount@somedomain.com
	Account Domain:

Failure Information:
	Failure Reason:		An Error occured during Logon.
	Status:			0xC000035B
	Sub Status:		0x0

Process Information:
	Caller Process ID:	0x0
	Caller Process Name:	-

Network Information:
	Workstation Name:	EXTCOMP
	Source Network Address:	-
	Source Port:		-

Detailed Authentication Information:
	Logon Process:
	Authentication Package:	NTLM
	Transited Services:	-
	Package Name (NTLM only):	-
	Key Length:		0

This event is generated when a logon request fails. It is generated on the computer where access was attempted.

The Subject fields indicate the account on the local system which requested the logon. This is most commonly a service such as the Server service, or a local process such as Winlogon.exe or Services.exe.

The Logon Type field indicates the kind of logon that was requested. The most common types are 2 (interactive) and 3 (network).

The Process Information fields indicate which account and process on the system requested the logon.

The Network Information fields indicate where a remote logon request originated. Workstation name is not always available and may be left blank in some cases.

The authentication information fields provide detailed information about this specific logon request.
	- Transited services indicate which intermediate services have participated in this logon request.
	- Package name indicates which sub-protocol was used among the NTLM protocols.
	- Key length indicates the length of the generated session key. This will be 0 if no session key was requested.

User Profile Disks require SMB 3.0?

Hi all,

I have some netapp space available for User profile disks, the netapp does not support SMB 3.0 and when I try and apply the setting i get an RPC error: 

0x800706BA

Similar to this thread here which suggested SMB3 was required.

http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/5a4e6fb8-ad10-4ac1-b3ac-55d414b3fb17/got-rpc-server-is-unavailable-error-when-configuring-user-profile-disk-to-use-a-samba-share?forum=winserverTS

So would like clarification, is SMB 3.0 a requirement?

I have managed to setup a file share on a windows 2012r2 box on storage which does not support SMB3.0 and it works... I don't know if windows is doing something funky in the back end to make it work though.

Thanks

How to hide either Devices or Server Properties in RD 2008 R2?

In Remote Desktop Services 2008 R2 the Control Panel option Printers changed to Devices and Printers, this is too much information for RD users.
We tried to hide this by means of a GPO, but the only option here is to hide the complete item, not just Devices.
Then we tried the option in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2018577/en-us, creating a shortcut to Printers. This does present the correct layout, but a button is added 'Server Properties'.

How do we get rid of either Devices/Add Device in the 'Devices and Printers'  Control Panel item, or the 'Server Properties' button in Printers?

Printers of other users visible and show up multiple times under the control panel

Hello,

I currently have a very interesting problem:

Some (not all) printers show up multiple times on every user session on the specific terminal server. This behavior show up on both of the 2 servers. Also the printer only shows up multiple times under the control panel, but not in the printer dialog.

The users are not part of either printer operators, Administrator or Power Users.

The servers are Windows Server 2012.

I cannot find a reason for this after some hours with my friend Google.

Does someone have any idea how to fix this?

Thanks in advance

Optimize Start Menu Cache Files

Hi,

We have setup a brand new Remote Desktop Services farm with 10 Session Hosts for 200 users.

Now we see the Task 'Optimize Start Menu Cache Files xxx(SID)' for about 200 times on every Session Host server.

These can be deleted but they return whenever a user logs onto a specific Session Host server.

How can this be prevented? 

This has been addressed in another thread (http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_8-performance/how-do-i-permanently-delete-this-task-scheduler/0fd8f7a0-c182-45c1-ad42-f02d768cb295), but the solution there would be to stop the Tasks individually of stop the Task Scheduler. Both are obviously not what I, or anyone else, want.

2012 R2 RDS Shadowing "Permissions"

November 21, 2013, 5:27 pm

Hi All,

Just wondering if anyone has found a "workaround" for the requirement to be an Administrator to perform Remote Desktop Shadowing in Server 2012 R2?


We are a software development company, who offers a Remote Desktop service to our customers to use our software. Our support team needs to be able to take control of these sessions to support them.


We made the leap to 2012 R2 purely for the shadowing feature being re-implemented. However allowing 50+ support staff, some who have little to no knowledge of Server OS's, to have administrative control on an RDS server farm, including the AD server which is the Connection Broker, is just not an option.


The best i can come up with, is to lock down permissions on all Administrative Tools to these users with implicit Deny ACL's, but that does not stop them from being able to launch Add/Remove Server Roles, and perform other tasks within Server Manager.


Also due to the Server Manager integration, gone are the days where you could permit a Terminal Services MMC for these users like we did in the "old days" of 2003.


Does anyone have any brilliant ideas in regards to either enabling Shadowing without Administrator rights, or locking down Server Manager to a set task list?


Thanks,

Nash

RemoteApp and Desktop Connections Error 0x800401F0 when updating RemoteApp connections from RDS webfeed

Environment:

Windows Server 2012 R2 with RDS roles installed.

Windows 8 clients

Issue:

The RDS Webfeed doesn't updated automatically. Instead, I get an error:

"An error occurred while updating this connection. Error code: 0x800401f0, 0x0"

I can perform a manual update in the control panel, but the users who will be using this on a regular basis are blocked from the control panel by a GPO.  Also, I don't want end users to have to perform this update manually anyway.

I've included a screenshot of the issue for reference.
