RDP fails over a Windows VPN

$
0
0

Using Windows 10, trying to RDP to Win2008 Server. 
When on a static IP, I can connect.
When on a VPN, set up through Windows, I cannot connect to the server.

I can Ping the server, but not Telnet on 3389 to the server, or RDP to its IP address (or its name)
Colleagues are able to RDP to the server, using same VPN set up.

Have tried turning off Windows Defender Firewall, without any success.
Maybe I need to add the IP address to the Hosts configuration ?

I know there are lots of questions about RDP over VPN, I am struggling to find a match to my situation.

Hoping someone can help!


Printer redirection

$

0

Hello Expertz,

I have 1 (one) session host server and 10 users are connecting to that server using mstsc. 

The problem here is printer redirection is not happening on the server from past 3 days. I have installed the new drivers but the issue still exists.

I can print locally but when I am on the server printer redirection is not happening. There are no group policies configured on the server.  My server details windows 2016. 

Please do let me know if you have any suggestions to resolve my issue.

Thanks

RDS 2016 - Priorize a RDSH server for a specific app

$

0

Hello,

I have a RDS farm running on Windows Server 2016 with 1 RDCB and 2 RDSH.

I would like to add a new RDSH on a branch office to use a local application, and priorize this app on the local RDSH.

As the local RDSH has an issue, connections will be automatically go the headquarters RDSH servers.

Is it possible to do this ?

Thanks in advance.

rdVH deployment FAIL

$
0
0

I had 3 VM collections, were working all right! All of a sudden, If I try to create another Virtual collection i get this error with empty reason for failure. (with any Windows version)

If I choose the option to create Profile disks it says it failed to create Profile disks, but when I go in the collection to reconfigure it a red error appears saying there are no rdVH or rdSH. ...but the VMs appear when I create a collection.

The collection is created with no machines in it. If I try to add a machine I get failure again and similar event log.

I have Sql HA, but I don't notice any errors there.

The connection Brokers services are usually crashing, and I need start them manually before I can access the RD server manager... maybe for another ticket.

And if I try to restart the rdVH service on the hyperv host the service fails to restart. A reboot will fix. The following error appears for every VM.

--------

---------

If I destroy the collection, remove and reinsert the server,  I see errors on Server manager:

I tried to remove all collections, reinsert the 2 HyperV hosts, and now I don't see any VM appearing in the list for creating a new collection.

I have a RDS running 2008 r2. Does anyone know how to change the date format for all users asdd/MM/yyyy.  I have tried the Administrative tab under region but it was not successful. 

RDMS not working with Windows Server 2019

The error I get after installing the DC and RDMS :

"The server pool does not match the RD Connection Brokers that are in in. Errors: 1.Cannot connect to any of the specific RD connection Brokers servers. Ensure that at least one server is available and that the Remote Desktop Management (RDMS), RD Connection Broker (tssdis), or RemoteApp and Desktop Connection (tscpubrpcs) service are running.

Tried to restart the RD Connection Broker service from services.msc and it failed. reboot did not work.

I just want to know if there were any changes made or updates from Microsoft themselves regarding this or am I missing something?


delegate permission for enable/disable host

$

I have a typical RDS setup. I have a connection broker and 5 hosts. I manage the system. One of the hosts is just for our dev environment. We are mostly using remoteapp.

I want to delegate permission so our dev users can only enable/disable an RDS host to accept new connect for a particular host.

I don't want to give them the ability to do enable/disable the rest of the production hosts. They will be doing this through the gui or through PowerShell.

thanks!

Migrate roaming profiles to user profile disks

HA Connection Broker with Azure SQL

$
0
0

Hi folks,

I'm planning on building an RDS environment with HA Connection Brokers. I'd like to use Windows Server 2016's new ability to connect to a SQL Database in Azure for the CB Database as this would greatly simplify licensing and the need to have an onsite SQL cluster.

Obviously the performance required of the database is going to be directly proportional to the number of users logging out and in, but there doesn't seem to be any general build recommendations for the sizing of the SQL Database in Azure when using it for this function like:

Basic/Standard/Premium Tier
DTU's

SQL in Azure is pretty cheap overall, but I don't want to oversize (or undersize) what I need to get this done. Can anyone get me started or point me in the right direction?

Documentation for "alternate full address" setting in .rdp files

$
0
0

Windows Remote Desktop Connection (mstsc) saves the remote computer name like this:

full address:s:rdsh1.whatever.microsoft.com

But if mstsc is launched via Remote Desktop Web Access, the used rdp files have the following content:

full address:s:rdsh1.whatever.microsoft.com
alternate full address:s:rdsh1.whatever.microsoft.com

If an rdp file contains "alternate full address" then "full address" seems to be ignored completely, even if "alternate full address" cannot be resolved.

What is "alternate full address", what is the difference to "full address" and where is the documentation for these settings?

Thanks for any hints!

Note:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/api/rdpappcontainerclient/nf-rdpappcontainerclient-iremotedesktopclientsettings-setrdpproperty is not helping since that documentation merely converts the setting name into a sentence ;)

Can't RDP / Network Share Across Subnet

$
0
0

I have 1 Server that can't RDP or be RDP'd, access file shares or have its file shares accessed from other servers on a different subnet. 

I can access the file shares and RDP to and from it from other servers in the same subnet. 

Windows Firewalls are off, no I cannot change the IP address for testing because web and application services are dependent upon it. 

Other servers can access shares and RDP across the subnets just fine. It's literally just this 1 server that's having the issue.

Remote Desktop fails to connect on Windows 7 for users who have been assigned administrator rights. [The Local Security Authority cannot be contacted]

$

Everything was working fine until about 2 months ago.

I have a Windows 7 system that I access with Remote Desktop Connection from a Windows 10 system.  One day I found that my user account, which had been given administrator rights quite some time ago, couldn’t log on remotely.  The Windows 7 system was configured for remote access with the setting “Allow connections only from computers running Remote Desktop with Network Level Authentication (more secure)”. When I tried to log on, I got an error stating “The Local Security Authority cannot be contacted”

If I configured Windows 7 to “Allow connections from computers running any version of Remote Desktop (less secure)”, then I could log in but I didn’t want to use this less secure setting.

Doing some experimentation, I found that if I enabled the built-in Administrator account, then the Administrator could log in remotely using “Allow connections only from computers running Remote Desktop with Network Level Authentication (more secure)”.

If I created a new standard user called Test.  I found that Test could also could log in remotely using “Allow connections only from computers running Remote Desktop with Network Level Authentication (more secure)”.

If I promoted Test to an administrator, then Test couldn’t remotely log on.  He got the LSA error.  If I demoted my account to a standard user then I could log in remotely using “Allow connections only from computers running Remote Desktop with Network Level Authentication (more secure)”.

When I promoted my account back to an administrator, the logon failed with the LSA error.

All users have valid passwords that are set to never expire and are members of the Remote Desktop Users group.  The only thing that is changing is whether or not the users have administrative privileges.

Is this a permissions issue, or a behavior change cause by an update to Windows 7?

Windows 2016 RDS - Start Menu Not Working - get-appxpackage returns nothing

$

I'm having an issue on a single RDS 2016 server at the moment where the start menu doesn't open.  

I've gone though lots of steps including sfc /scannow  (No errors)   DISM with all the options (No Errors)

I've cleared the Registry in firewall policy\restricted services\configurable\system.

I believe the issue is that I don't have any applications registered in the get-appxpackage at all, it just comes back blanks where as on working machines I get a list of about 15.

I've tried to install the packages by hand using variations of 

Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register C:\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.Windows.Cortana_cw5n1h2txyewy\AppxManifest.xml -Verbose 

This returns the following;

Add-AppxPackage : Deployment failed with HRESULT: 0x80073CF6, Package could not be registered.

I can't seem to get the system to re-register those applications!

Open to any suggestions?  (Please no, have you restarted the server!)

This happens on all users including local admin and new accounts.  Happens in Safe and Clean Boot.

Easiest way to enable more than 2 concurrent RDP sessions on Windows Server 2016

Hello everyone,

I am trying to figure out the easiest way to allow more than 2 RDP sessions at a time on my Windows 2016 Server Standard. I have tried using the google to help, but there are so many suggestions and 90% of them result in the original poster disappearing so I don't know the best way to accomplish this. I don't need anything extravagant setup, I just need more than 2 people to be able to rdp into the server at the same time.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,


W10 1709 RemoteApp - Pop-ups hidden behind main window

Server 2012 R2 Remote Desktop Services Deployment

Good day Everyone,

So, the agreement between my company and another was to use terminal services for their users to connect and use the published apps, which was fine to test out during the 60day trail period. Complications occurred when the white-listing of specific sites stopped working and we had to find ways around this, which meant that by the time things got sorted, the 60 day trail period you get when installing RDS role, expired. 

The company doesn't want to purchase any CAL's for their 2/3 users (users is expecting to grow, hence terminal services) and requested that terminal services be removed for the time being. This is fine, because I can just uninstall the RDS role form server manager. 

The problem is, even after uninstalling, RDS still appears in the quick access on the left in server manager. I am not an expert on RDS or terminal services, but i would expect it to be removed. But this isn't the real problem, the problem is, even after removing the role, windows still complains about there not being a license configured in the license manager, which means that users can't RDP to the computer. I've been searching the internet and cannot find a solution. 

I already tried going to regedit HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp and selecting decimal and setting it to 3389. 

My understanding is that server is for some reason still sending incoming rdp requests to the session host? And that it's checking for a license on the license manager since the temp license expired.. Not sure what the process is that it's following. 

I just want to reinstate that default RDP, so that users can atleast connect to the machine again. 

I saw a fix where a user said you must go to the session host config and create a new RDP-Tcp listener, but i have no session host server added, and cannot add one. 

Any help would be appreciated please. 

Thanks

RD session connections windows server 2016 - two computers couldn't connect in the amount of time allotted

we have RDS installed in Windows 2016 standard edition and use session-base desktop deployment.

It was working fine for about one year. About two weeks ago, we started to have the following issue:

This computer can't connect to the remote computer.
The two computers couldn't connect in the amount of time allotted. Try connecting again. If the problem continues, contact your network administrator or technical support. 

When this issue happens, we find some users are disconnected in the RDS-Collections-QuickSessionCollection. But we cannot log/sign off those users, they are always showing there.

BTW, we can sign of those users in the Task Manager-Users. 

We can solve this issue by restarting the server. How to fix it without restarting the server?

Thanks!
