Install of Danish language pack change Settings panel!

Hi.

We are running Remote Desktop 2016 with Danish language pack.

We have noticed that the GUI changes and control options are missing as soon as I add the danish language pack.

initial I did a offline install from a cab file, first I thought that I was using a outdated cab file or something.

Then I tried to make a new server from our image(without language pack) and add the language pack from the control panel, and auto downloaded it.. same problem.

Then I installed a new server from ISO and did not join our domain, just bootet and add language from control panel.. same problem, I am unable to create a new working server with danish language pack.

We currently have 14 RDS2016 server deployed from the same image 6 of the have the same problem, settings panel is missing options and icons and labels do not match when using danish language pack.

Any suggestions how to fix this?

Left is correct and right is wrong. (sorry Screenshot is in danish!)


How to launch a RDP file in Remote Application Mode through command line?

Hello, guys!  I created a RDP file to seamlessly access to a Remote Application.  The RDP file is working well.  But every time I try to launch it though command line, mstsc.exe throws an "Invalid connection file" message.  I've been trying to debug the file in notepad and it seems that the problem is with the "remoteapplicationmode:i:1" line.  Is there any way to launch a RDP file in Remote Application Mode through command line?  Thanks!

Cannot access smart card reader in RDS session - error 602

Greetings,

We've got an issue when trying to use a Gemalto Ezio Shield Pro smart card reader in a RDS 2012R2 session.
When I plug the USB SC reader, the device can be seen in device manager with no error. However When I use the command certutil -scinfo, i get an error : Smart card reader is currently running. SCardListReaders : unable to find a smart card reader 0x8010002e (-2146435026 SCARD_E_NO_READERS_Available). ScardListReaders failed for SCARD_ALL_Readers.
When I check system log, I find an error 602 Smart Card Service : WDM Reader driver initialization cannot open reader device : Access Denied.

We use Axel AX3000 M80G thin clients to connect to a 2012R2 RDS server hosted on an clustered Hyper-v Guest. The SC reader is working well on another session. When I get the configuration information from the AX3000, I see that the sc reader is detected and identififed which is also the case in the device manager.

I checked on google and found infos about Local Service ACL issues. This lead me to give Full Control to Local Service on HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Cryptography\Calais but it did not fix the problem.

Does anyone ever had such a case or know a way to fix this issue?

Best regards

A customer still using Windows Server 2008 R2 to publish applications via RemoteApp reports the problem described on page https://support.microsoft.com/en-hk/help/981156/remoteapp-applications-are-displayed-as-black-windows-when-you-restart

They attempted to download the hotfix suggested in the page (Windows6.1-KB981156-v2) but it is not available anymore.

They can download it from third party sites but they are not sure it is genuine Microsoft software.

How can they get the hotfix from Microsoft?

Is there any alternate solution to fix their problem?

Idle Time reset for all users at logon

$
0
0

When I run a 'query user' command to get the idle time for each user, I have noticed that it gets reset back to 0 when a new user logs in. This is a problem because our session timeouts never kick in, even if a user actually is idle. Every single time a user logs on it resets the counter for everyone.

Has anyone seen this behavior before or know how to prevent it? We have idle users who are never kicked off the server because the counter keeps getting reset.

User Profile Disks with Windows Search

$

We have 2 RDS Servers (2012R2) and work With User Profile Disks

We use outlook cached mode (Outlook 2013 SP1) because the link to our head office is to slow

The problem is that the outlook search isn't working properly.

Every time the users logs on, search indexes are recreated
This proces never finishes because the server is under a constant load, therefore search never works as it should.

In eventvwr, we see this error alot:

Crawl could not be completed on content source <winrt://{S-1-5-21-xxxxxxxxxxxx}/>.

Context:  Application, SystemIndex Catalog

Details:

The parameter is incorrect.  (HRESULT : 0x80070057) (0x80070057)

RDP Setup error

$

Hi,

I originally set my Server 2016 RDP server up by going to Role-based or feature based installation as I thought that would work ok...However I since found that no collection was showing in server manager, and apparently I had to run the other method... so I did.

It succeeded on Remote Desktop Services role services, failed on session collection with the following error:

Failed:
Unable to create the session collection. Unable to configure the RD Session Host server servername. Invalid operation

And cancelled on Remote App Programs.

I assume this would be because I already had it all setup. However it all seems to be working now, I had to add the gateway and licencing to the collection.

Do I need to do anything or is this to be expected if it was already otherwise setup?

The remote desktop gateway server is temporarily unavailable

$

Hello all,

Environment is on Microsoft Azure. I have 4 VMs (Svr 2016) as DC, RDCB, RDSH01, RDSH02. RDCB is server manager.

I'm Using RDWeb to connect to RemoteApps. The problem is when users are trying to connect to RemoteApps through WAN, they are getting error as

      "This computer cant connect to remote computer because the remote desktop gateway server is temporarily unavailable"

Internal users are able to connect to RemoteApps even after unchecking "Bypass gateway for local addresses" option, which means gateway server is working fine (I think). Here, We can even see users passing via gateway in RD Gateway manager under"Monitoring" section.

-> Created a Self signed certificate in gateway server and published/imported same at client end.

-> all the VMs have Public & Private IPs as well on azure platform.

-> Users are using  <Public IP>/RDWeb URL to connect. They are able to open webpage where RemoteApps are getting displayed but when trying to open, getting error.

        Since it is azure platform it is showing DNS names of servers when configured, as "<servername>.eastus.cloudapps.azure.com" by default. Can't change it. Is this creating a problem ??

-> Tried to use this DNS name as RD gateway FQDN to connect but SSL Cert is created on my server FQDN so it is throwing certificate error.

-> Tried to create a Host A record on DC (where DNS role installed) but unable to do so because of this same issue (A record with azure domain can't be created as DC is in my other domain).

Can some one please help on this..!


The RD Connection Broker server is not available or the relevant services are not running

$

I currently have a single RDS server, running on Windows Server 2012 with the following RDS role services installed:

RD Licensing
RD Web Access
RD Gateway
RD Connection Broker
RD Session Host

The problem I'm having doesn't occur consistently but it's annoying to say the least.  At times when I go into the Server Manager to manage various aspects of RDS such as looking at what users are currently connected, I get the following error:

"The RD Connection Broker server is not available or the relevant services are not running"

I check and find that all RDS related services are running just fine, but restarting them doesn't solve the problem.  It takes an actual server reboot in order for this error to go away and then it returns, but there is no set time frame on when this happens as its very random.

No searches on Google have given me a good place to start looking at resolving this, so I'm hoping someone on the forums can give me some help...thanks in advance.

Probably been asked many times before - but im yet to see any reasonable answers for it.

We have a 100+ server farm about to go live, and the helpdesk has just noticed that the connecting computername is not show in the management interface.

I've done some searching and found that no native powershell commands seem to display this information.

How does everyone else get this information?

Remote Desktop Connection does not work with some Remote Desktop Gateways

I have two Windows 2012 R2 domain controllers and installed remote desktop gateway on each for redundancy.  Probably 6 months ago RD Gateway on server 1 stopped working with Remote Desktop Connection (the old rd client) but it works with IOS RD Client and the Remote Desktop app found in the Microsoft store.  Server 2 has continued to work fine.  I installed remote desktop gateway on a Windows 2012 R2 server (not a domain controller) and have the same issue on it.  I have compared configurations between the servers and checked logs but don't see anything in the logs except on the client side.  I have checked firewall settings and turned it off for testing.  Any ideas or direction would be appreciated.

Hello,

I am in the process of building a new RDS deployment with the following servers:

FS1 - File server which is the repository for the User Profiles
DC2 - RD Licensing server
CB1 - RD Connection Broker
RDGY1 - RD webaccess 
SH1 - RD Session host
SH2 - RD Session host

We have all the users profiles mapped from the location FS1\users. I'm currently evaluating the possibilities to use "user profile disks" using the same profile path. How to achieve this ?



How to enable Outlook 2019 refine search without enabling Search service

$
0

Hello,

we have just deployed a new Windows Server 2016 as a RDS session host and installed Office 2019 there. By default Windows Search service is disabled on Windows Server 2016 and above due to its big impact on server performance. That is fine with me but the side effect is that Outlook search tools are greyed out. So Users cannot use these advanced search tools to refine the search results.

The Exchange server is 2016 so the Outlook should use the FAST server search and I think it does but the refine buttons are greyed out.

If I enable the Windows Search service on the RDS server, the buttons are accessible and works. But that is not the solution because the performance needs of that service would kill the server.

Any solution or best practice how to set Outlook search on RDS hosts?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards 

Petr

Windows Terminal Server 2012 wont publish any more remote apps!

I have a weird problem with our new Windows 2012 Terminal Server. We have already published one application through a session collection via Remote Desktop Services. We now have the need to publish another application. When I click on the "Tasks" drop down menu and select "Publish RemoteApp Programs" I get an error of "Server.domain.local is not available on the network. Verify that the server is available on the network or remove the server from the collection"

Does anyone have any ideas why I am seeing this?

Thanks

RemoteApp file type association

$

Hi,

In our environment we have 2 RDSH servers:

RDSH1: Session Host

RDSH2: RemoteApp with a couple of applications installed on it, like "Office"

Each RDSH in a different collection.

I enabled file type association on my RemoteApp, but unfortunately it's not working on the Session Host RDSH1.

The RDSH collections are added to the work resources on RDSH1, and users are able to access to the RemoteApps, but they .xlsx files can't be open using the RemoteApp, my users has to open excel and open the file, which is annoying for them.

Does anyone knows what is missing in this deployment to enable file type association on the session host.

Thanks,

Housam Smadi

Remote Windows 10 Enterpreise cleints fail to connect RD Session Host through RD Gateway

$

Hi Guys:

I am stuck in a very strange problem and wonder if someone can help ASAP. It turs out to be a challenge as I have tried everything by the book but no luck.

I have remote desktop deployed with Hyper-V VM1 as RD Connection Broker which is also RD licensing server,Hyper-V VM2 as RD Session Host, Hyper-V VM3 RD Web Access which is also RD Gateway and DirectAccess server ---All running windows server 2012 R2 datacentre 

I have setup an A record corp.publicdomain.co.uk on public domain pointing to our public static internet address and have forwarded ports TCP 443 & UDP 3391 to VM3 (RD Web Access & RD Gateway).

The certificate is issued from our internal Enterprise sub-ordinate CA to *.internaldomain.com & corp.publicdomain.co.uk in CNAME and DNS. This certificates is also installed into Trusted Root authority Store of remote clients and they trust the remote desktop servers.

I have windows 10 Enterprise installed on remote clients which are domain joined and connected to our network with DirecAccess. We only use direct access to apply group policies. Through GP they are set to use our public domain corp.publicdomain.co.uk as RD Gateway, delegate default credentials TERMSRV*.internaldomain.com to ensure SSO and have a setup default RemoteApp connection through public address of RD Web Access. Clients run remote apps by going to Work Resources folder on the start menu and client on published apps icon.

Internally this works fine and also worked fine for remote clients until two days ago when suddenly they encountered a dialogue box:

Windows Security

Enter your credentials

Typer your username and passoword to connect to <FQDN of VM1> which is remote connection broker

and in red The logon attempt failed. Wont login even the credentials are entered again. 

As work around, I have now arranged to connect them through VPN and running apps from RD Web access page from local FQDN/rdweb of RD Web Access server.

I tried to connect from outside from windows 10 home, windows 10 pro and windows 7 and could connect through RD Gateway without any problem. So this pretty much narrows it down to windows 10 Enterprise (64-bit if this matters :))

Many Thanks
