How to configure Remote Desktop Services

$

Hi Everyone,

I've setup a 2008 Rs Server(standard) as a workgroup. I need to install Remote Desktop Services so my customers can access a centralized piece of software. 

I'm not sure where I'm going wrong here. 

I can't connect to using the gateway. If I disable gateway in the RDP client and use the external IP I can connect only with the Administrator account. 

I've setup RD CAP to allow the Remote Desktop Users group but neither of them can connect. I can only log in using the local administrator account.

I want each user to have their own session so they can run the software individually. 

I tried using 2012 server but having to a Domain Controller and a second install of 2012 Server is way too much for this small business. 

This business has two satellite locations and they just need to RDP into the server to access this one piece of software. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks!

The connection can not proceed because authentication is not enabled and remote desktop requires that authentication to be enabled

Hi,

I have Active directory domain with more than 200 windows server 2008 r2 and 400 windows 7 consoles joined to it.

I have made some changes in remote desktop security settings via group policy suggested by the security auditor.

The changes are:

1. Set client connection encryption level- High

2. Require use of specific security layer for remote (RDP) connections- SSL (TLS 1.0)

My all the Servers/Workstations are working fine after applying these settings, but in 1 Server i am getting this error "The connection can not proceed because authentication is not enabled and remote desktop requires that authentication to be enabled" when the policy is applied.

This particular server is Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 VM Guest machine hosted in VMWare 6.0.0 Host. I have 50 more servers with same configuration as problematic one.

Can anyone help me resolve the issue, why the error is coming in that specific server and not in all other 199 servers.

I tried some troubleshooting steps suggested for the particular error:

1. Open regedit.msc and change "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\ Terminal Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp "set“SecurityLayer” to a zero.

2. I joined the server again to domain to refresh the configuration.

But nothing worked.


Single Connection Broker for a VDI and RDS Solution? (Server 2019)

$

Just trying to get a definitive answer to find out if it's A)possible and B)supported in server 2019 to configure a single RD Connection Broker to manage a RD Session Host Farm and a RD Virtualization Host (VDI).

A client wants to use both technologies for a new system and while we used the Connection Broker with a RD Session Host , I'm not sure if the same Broker can also be used / is supprted to direct users to a Personal Virtual Desktop/RD Virtualization Host VDI (on a new/extra dedicated server)as well?


Find an simular post for server2008R2, but think thing might changed for server 2019.

Thanks in advance,

Ivan

Since the update February 1 2019 I get black screen when I login to remote desktop.  I can connect but just a black screen.  Both computers have been updated as well videos drives are the most current.  I have tried adjusting the resolution as well turning off the bit process as previous post suggest.  I know it has something to do with the update but even when I roll back the computer just updates it the next day.  Can anyone help?

Remote Desktop High CPU during Logon Logoff

hi all,

we use a Remote Desktop Server 2016 (VMWare 4 CPU, 48GB RAM) only with 40 User and have many Problems with high CPU during logon logoff. We spend much time to find solutions in internet, but the problem is still current

our old Server 2008 with 4 CPU 32 GB and 100 User (same applications) work's fine! Is Server 2016 a step backwards?

Remote Desktop Service Host Server Hacked (Twice)

$

Hi,

I restore one of my Epicor server (Epicor is a software - https://www.epicor.com) and configure RDSH (Remote Desktop Service Host) for testing. 
I created AD (Private IP) and RDSH Server (Private IP with Nated Public IP)
I configure the firewall rules (SonicWall) and allow only http/https and RDP (389) traffic from WAN for RDSH Server.
I install the 3rd party certificate (comodo) in RDSH server. RDSH require .pfx certificate so I create/install the certificate in IIS and export the certificate with private key and password. I make sure that password is strong. I import the certificate in below roles. certificate is install and success. RD Gateway role is grey-out.

RD Connection Broker - Enable Single Sign on
RD Connection Broker - Publishing
RD Web Access

1st Time: Server was hacked after one hour and all files were encrypted 

2nd Time: I  rebuild the server again and perform all the above steps again but server again hacked after 24 hours.

Note:

I scan the primary server (Epicor Server) from different tools (malwarebytes) but there is no virus etc.

The RDSH server is a replica of my current server (Epicor server). Epicor Server is also available for remote access (Not RDSH) and its working fine. I can RDP it and work on it without any issue.

In this server Epicor and SQL application are installed. Can my server hacked any of Epicor or SQL account but primary server also available from WAN and its working fine.

Both time AD is not hacked, only RDSH server is hacked.

Both server and certificate name are same for example: e10.domain.com is a server name and certificate url https://e10.domain.com/RDWeb. Is there any issue for using same name. I feel comfortable because RDSH configure with server name and certificate install without any issue.

I am not sure what is the issue? Someone please help me to find out the issue for this hacking. Rest of the network is fine. 

Its windows server standard 2012 R2. (Both AD and RDSH server)

 Thanks in Advance.

Unable to renewal Windows 2012 RDS Certificate.

On my Windows 2012 RDS connection broker server, I created a cert request in IIS.  After I received the cert from my vendor, I completed the cert request and applied the new cert to the RDS website.  

I then go to MMC and export the certificate to a PFX file with a password.  

Next, I go to Server Manager>RDS>Overview.  Under Deployment Overview, I go to edit Deployment Properties>Certificates.  I highlight the "RD Connection Broker - Enable SSO" and select existing certifiate.  

I specify the cert I export and the password and I get the attached error.  

Please advise if you know how to fix it.

Hey guys,

We just bought a couple of servers from Lenovo and added a 5-User CAL to each, the CALs came with a Tracking Number in them, but when I went to add the licenses to Windows I can't find a type that has a Tracking number, so how can I add these licenses to our new servers?

upgrading from W2K12R2 to Windows server 2016 RDS collection for HTML5 usage

$

Hello,

Currently we are running a W2k12r2 RD deployment with 2 RD connection brokers in HA and 2 RD Gateway / Webaccess servers, 2 DC's with RD licensing. RD session hosts are all W2k12R2.

We would like to be able to offer both normal and HTML5 connections for our remote desktops and remote apps.
For what i understand from this document and this document we need to upgrade Brokers, Gateways and rd webaccess servers to achieve this.

- What will be the best way to upgrade our brokers and have no down time. Since we only can have 2 brokers in 2012r2, remove one broker from the  HA configuration, add a new 2016 broker to the HA configuration, remove the last 2012r2 from the configuration and add another 2016 to the HA configuration?? Is there anything else?

- Rd gateways and rd webaccess servers run in mixed mode. So next step is to simply install new Rd gateways / rd web access servers Windows 2016, remove 2012R2 servers from configuration and add the new Windows 2016 servers to the configuration. Am i missing something?

- Rd licensing servers and Rd session hosts on W2k12r2 are supported in this configuration. We cannot run collections in mixed mode. We need per user licenses for HTML5.

So if we have the setup like described above will we be able to offer both normal and HTML5 connections to our remote desktop and remote apps?

Thanks,

Smart Card Logon Event ID 5, 7, & 17 - An error occurred while retrieving a digital certificate from the inserted smart card

We are having a lot of event id 5 smart card logon issues on 2008 R2 server.

We are using Active Client 6.2.0.119, we also tried patch 120, 124, and 126.

Here are some of the errors we are getting...

Event ID 5  -  Smart Card Logon

1. An error occurred while retrieving a digital certificate from the inserted smart card. An internal error has been detected, but the source is unknown.

2. An error occurred while retrieving a digital certificate from the inserted smart card. The smart card has been reset, so any shared state information is invalid.

3. An error occurred while retrieving a digital certificate from the inserted smart card. The security token does not have storage space available for an additional container.

4. An error occurred while retrieving a digital certificate from the inserted smart card. The Smart card resource manager is not running.

 

Event ID 7  -  Smart Card Logon

1. An error occurred while signing a message using the inserted smart card: An internal error has been detected, but the source is unknown.

2. An error occurred while signing a message using the inserted smart card: An internal error has been detected, but the source is unknown.

 

 Event ID 17  -  Smart Card Logon

 

1. An error occurred while decrypting a message: An unexpected card error has occurred.

 

Why is 2008 R2 having so many errors with smart cards?

Any Ideas out there?

 

RDS 2012 - User Profile Disks

We have a 2 node RDS W2012 farm with UPD enabled. We have excluded my docs, desktop, and appdata from the UPD but redirect these to another share on the same file server. Now and then, users complain of logon delays with black screens and general performance issues. To correct the issue we are currently rebooting both RDS servers and the file server. Users are then able to logon again and performance is back to how it should be. We've ran some perfmon captures on the three servers and couldnt see any signs resource contention.

Has anyone come across a similar situation or have any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this?

RemoteApp RDS2019 - splash screens stuck on client

$

Hi!

I am testing RDS 2019 with RemoteApp, and I have problems with startup splash screens. Each splash screen creates a button on the client’s taskbar and does not disappear from desktop and taskbar after the appearance of the main window. For example, I run three RemoteApp and I have three splash screens and three program windows on my desktop. And even if I close these windows, the splash screens will still remain on desktop and cannot be closed. This happens only in RemoteApp and does not occur with a remote desktop mode. I tried to recreate an RDS farm again, but it does not help.

This does not happen with all programs (having splash screen), but with many. At the same time, there were no such problems at RDS 2012R2/2016. 

As RDCB and RDSH used Windows Server 2019 with latest cumulative update (2019-01). As clients used Windows 10 1709/1809 with same update.

RDS 2012 - User Profile Disks performance issues

$

We have a 2 node RDS Win2012 farm with UPD enabled. All UPD point to a share on a dedicated Win2012 file server. Users documents, desktops, and appdatas are excluded from the UPD but are redirect to a different location on the same file server. Now and then, users complain of long logon times, often where the screen goes black for several minutes. When this occurs users which are already logged onto the RDS servers also report issues of general performance issues. So far, to correct the issue, we ask the users to log out and reboot both RDS servers and the file server. Obviously this is not ideal and causes a lot of disruption. Once the server are rebooted, users are then able to log back on to the RDP sessions and performance is back to normal. The issue then reoccurs within a few weeks. We've ran some perfmon logging on the three servers but couldnt see any signs of resource contention. Strangely, if we log onto the RDS servers as an administrator (excluded for folder redir and UPD) we do not witness these problems. We believe the issues is related to the UPD as we also have a legacy four node Win2008 RDS farm. Users on these servers do not suffer from these issues despite having roaming profiles and redirected folders pointing to the same file server.

Has anyone come across a similar situation or have any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this?



Server 201 - Remove Server RDS FARM

$

I have server 2012 which I setup a server farm consisting of 3 rds-servers and services server for the gateway, licensing, broker etc. I would like to eliminate the server farm, and just connect directly to each individual rds server....like we do with our old terminal server setup.

I feel like I was "lucky" to get it working, and if I had to re-create it, it would be a nightmare.

Can anyone add compelling reasons to leave it as is?

What about recovery comments. It's hosted at an offsite service under a HyperV-vm environment. Are there some easy steps for me to take which would make recovering from failed hardware?

Thanks for any comments,

Bret

Route 2012 RDS Farm user to specific server

Server 2012

I have a server farm consisting of a broker, three rds servers etc

I want to have my domain groups/users control which users are allowed access to specific servers.

Example: a xxx_admin group will be routed to server 1; xxx_sales group will be routed to server 2 etc.

I'd like to do this all with domain user/group configuration.

Thanks for the help...still pretty new to this. 

Onscreen Keyboard appears when shadowing session on 2012R2 Remote Desktop Session Host

$
0
0

As the title suggests, whenever I shadow a session on our 2012R2 RDSH server, the onscreen keyboard appears.  The taskbar also unlocks.

Both of these behaviours mean that the user can tell when their session is being shadowed, which I don't always want to be the case - sometimes I want to be able to monitor the session without their knowledge.

Anyone know how I can stop this from happening?

Server 2019 RDS Crash - FYI. (msvcrt.dll, 0xc0000005)

Hi there.

I am testing 2019 standard 1809 RDSH running on a 2019 Hyper-V. Trying to adopt the settings from our working 2016 environment. Adding the GPO's step by step, suddenly the svchost.exe_TermService, version: 10.0.17763.1 crashed with exception 0xc0000005. The module was msvcrt.dll version  version: 7.0.17763.1

So figuring out it was because of some "old" GPO, I started pulling it apart, step by step, to find that it was the:
"Configure H.264/AVC hardware encoding for Remote Desktop Connections=Enabled"

So I am setting up to test with NVidia K1 and DDA, I need this feature to be working at some time in the near future.
I have an .dmp file from the crash if any Microsoft codes or crashtester needs it.

But for your info - if you see this crash, test to see if it works.

Kind regards.

RDS 2016 - Outlook Ghost Window (Send, reply & forward)

$

Hi.

See the image.

The the outline (ghost window) in this screenshot is in reality a pop-out Outlook window, for a new mail (send, reply or forward).

RDSH = Windows Server 2016
Clients = Windows 10 (1804, 1809, 1809)

It may affect older versions as well, but we have not tested.

This happens to all users on the server.

Alt+Tab away, then back again fixes the issue. But this is so annoying that it needs to be fixed.
