Remote Desktop Services - Windows 2016 - Printer Redirection Stops Working

$
0
0
We have setup many Remote Desktop Services and Users who connect get their local printers redirected. Recently on a Windows 2016 Standard Remote Desktop Server Users find that after some days of working fine they login and no redirected printers are available. If we log into the Remote Desktop Server our printers are not redirected either. The only way we seem to be able to resolve the redirection is to restart the Remote Desktop Server. This is a pain because it is constantly in use until late in the day. Have never had this issue before on Windows 2012 R2 or previous Windows versions. Can anyone find a solution to stop this from happening?

Windows Server 2016 RDSH Intermittent BSOD (DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE)

$
0
0

Hi,

Not sure if this should be asked here or not. If I have submitted in error, please let me know and I will redirect my query elsewhere.

We have an RDS platform (single GW/CB/Lic server - Windows Server 2016, 3 RDSH servers - also Windows Server 2016). The platform is accessed using HP Thin Clients via the Gateway's RDWeb feed. The clients connect fine and all applications and hardware devices appear to work correctly.

However, intermittently (doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason that I can ascertain) one of the servers (it can be any of the three) will BSOD with a bugcheck of 0x0000009f (DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE). The server automatically reboots after a period of time and then works normally. Sometimes the BSOD happens only once, but then other times it will BSOD three or four times in a row shortly after coming up from the previous BSOD reboot.

From what I can gather, Windows is attempting (and failing) to instruct some device attached to the system (presumably via one of the remote sessions) to enter into a power saving mode and BSODs as a result. I have disabled USB power saving on the server but this does not resolve the issue. I have tested one of the RDSH servers by removing it from the connection pool and left it running without clients for a number of months and it has so far not given me any problems.

I took the MEMORY.DMP file (which is available for anyone to peruse upon request) and tried my best to analyse it using the tools available, and it seems to point to hidusb.sys, though I am unsure as to how to trace the problem any further.

All RDSH servers are patched with latest crticial/security patches as of a week ago.

Any possible thoughts as to avenues I could explore to diagnose/resolve this issue?

Thank you in advance for any advice you might be able to offer.

RDS 2019 - Remote Camera Devices only functional for Administrators

$
0

I have an odd issue whereby I have configured an RDS Collection (1 CB/Gaetweay/RDWeb and 3 RDS Session Hosts) where when a user connects and uses Webcam Redirection, it works perfectly for admins, but non privileged users even though the device is passed through, it doesn't work in any app.

I have used GPO to force enabled the camera redirection feature and force enable the camera for all apps too.

In the Camera settings app, everything is set to On as forced by organisation.

The camera is detected and availible to apps, the Windows Camera Frame Server service starts when the user attempts to load the camera in any app, but nothing is displayed and the camera doesn't kick in.

I have users wanting to use Teams inside the RDS (company policy allows only for company stuff to be inside the RDS) and cannot get them access other than granting Admin rights!

Any ideas?

Guide for transitioning from Win2008R2 RDS to a Win2012R2/2016/2019 RDS?

$

I have a Windows Server 2008R2 server that i installed Remote Desktop Services on many years ago.  It only has two role services installed.  

Remote Desktop Server.  It is as basic a configuration RDS can be.  It only has Remote Desktop Session Host and Remote Desktop Licensing Server installed.  Nothing else.  And all i do is create local users, put them in the Remote Desktop Users group and i let them remote to this server using "Remote Desktop Connection" in Windows 7/10.

How do i replicate this environment as closely as possible in Windows 2012R2/2016/2019?  I see that those versions introduced a bunch of new features and role services, all of which look like stuff I DONT NEED. :) I dont need a connection broker or a web server!  None of that. I just want what i already have today and nothing more.  Is that possible?

Has anyone written a guide for building a bare bones RDS server on the newer OS that doesnt have all this new stuff?

Problem with Strategy group to mount printers on Remote Desktop Host

$

Hello everybody,

We got a problem in our company about strategy group to mount printers for users in RDS 2012 R2.

We need to set printers for user. We use Security Group for this. The user belongs to a security group, and in the strategy group, we configure a printer for a security group (with common targeting).

So we add a user to a group like that he gets printers. The user log in to the RDS, and he sees the good printers.

The problem is, when we remove the user from the security group, printers stay in the session.

In the RDS, we use roaming profile, and I think the problem come from here. When we delete the profile on the file server, to get a new one, the user does not have anymore the printer.

I also tried to create a GPO to delete all shared printers in order 1, before to mount the printers. This is working the first time, but after this, when you add the user to a group, and remove him again, he also sees the printer.

It's a big problem, because a user which doesn't belong anymore to a security group, can use the printer.

Please, could you help me to solve this problem ?

Thanks by advance

Server OS 2016/2019 Session hosts (RDS) problems with Remote Desktop Services is currently busy

$

Dear colleagues and support.

That is not something that was solved here, I found a couple of similar problems with 2008r2, but it cannot be applied to latest OS. And problem described in other topics are a little different

Our case:

We are using large infrastructure based on many Servers 2012r2 all in one RDS servers (Broker, Web, SH is installed at every server). Many servers published behind some load balancer.

As we have a lot of servers in farm - we have a redirected profiles configured (over GPO) and placed at DFS.

We started testing 2016 servers, and our test group start reporting problems with "Remote Desktop Services is currently busy".

Usually problem solved itself in 1-2 min, user have to try several times before he is able to connect. There was no hanged user sessions or something like this or some useful even log as i can see.

There was no solution for 2016 problem over the internet, so I was hoping to find it with 2019 server.

But we are able to reproduce problem even on "clean", powerful (8 cores, SSD, 32 GB RAM), freshly installed server with single role (RDS) on it for the minimal number of users (1-2 users online)

So that is not something like server load or not enough resources.

I assume it is related somehow to redirected profiles or some service really "busy" with what? But why it is working stable for 2012R2 and has such problem with 2016/2019? May be we can adjust some parameters, timeouts or something like this?

Do we have any workaround for this except disabling redirected profiles or living forever based on 2012 r2 (that is not an option when you have a farm for 1000 users online and many member servers behind balancer)

Many thanks for your ideas!

Regards,

NPS Azure MFA working for RDWeb but not RDC

$

Single RDS gateway 2016.  Both RDweb and RDC point to same Gateway. We have NPS extention configured. 

When we login on to RDweb we get the MFA prompt from Ms Auth

When we log on to the same GW via RDC the logon never gets to NPS for MFA. 

I am trying to ID the issue. RDweb is aware and looks to the NPS CAP store. But RDC seem oblivious. How do these two authenticate differently? Any ideas on how to troubleshoot to ID and resolve? 

I have even remove NPS completely and rebuilt but same issue. So I am convinced the issue is w. RDC/RDGW and not the NPS/MFA side of things. 

Thanks,

Remote Desktop can't connect to VM

$

We started using Hyper-V a few months ago. Until a few days ago, everything is working great. We have 2 physical hosts running Windows Server 2012. Each physical host has been running one VM (Windows Server 2008 R2) which is replicating to the other host.

We have added another virtual machine. It works great except Remote Desktop Connection cannot connect to it. When I try, I get the standard message:

Remote Desktop can't connect to the remote computer for one of these reasons:
1) Remote access to the server is not enabled
2) The remote computer is turned off
3) The remote computer is not available on the network

I've checked everything I can think of including:

  • VM is allowing remote access. To be sure, I even turned it off and back on.
  • There is no firewall blocking anything. To be sure, Windows firewall is turned off.
  • Remote Desktop CAN connect to the other VMs including the one running on the same physical host.
  • Everything else on the VM seems to be working. IIS is running there and web pages come up nicely. File access is good too.

There are 2 differences between this new VM and the other ones:

  • This OS is Windows Server 2008 (not R2). The other VMs are R2.
  • This VM was not created from scratch. I used Sysinternals Disk2vhd to generate a VHD from an existing physical machine and then configured a new VM to use that VHD.

I'd be very grateful for advice on how to get RDC working.

I VPN to a website's server menu via CITRIX which has a RDP ICON, it works most of the time, but sometimes when I click

$

on the RDP icon, when the launch ica brings up the Citrix popup window, it does a Welcome & disappears.  Usually, the Citrix popup window will have Welcome, and a bunch of messages, then preparing desktop msg & the RDP window pops up to enter the IP address to my remote computer. I try many times with the same results...then sometimes it goes all the way to the RDP popup. What could cause this intermittent problem? There are other application ICONs that also launch ICA successfully like EXTRA Tn3270on their menu. Only the RDP does this. And then the next day, it is fine.

RDS2019 - Compatibility --> High DPI settings stop working when RDS role enabled

$

Hi.

We are rolling out RDS 2019 in our environment. We've got a lot of complaints about the DPI settings not being able to set in the session anymore like in 2008R2, but it has to be done on the local client, which is really cumbersome. However, when done so, we still have some applications with issues.

Now, for most of them I can fix it by setting the compatibility settings:



On a Server 2019 test machine, when set to Application, the application actually shows up fine. On RDS2019 though, it doesn't. I've been working on this for a while, until I installed a machine from scratch, do one step of our installation script at a time, and see where it started failing. It turn out as soon as we enable the RDS role, the DPI settings don't have any effect anymore, and the app is all blurry.

When I remove the RDS role, they start working again. Would anyone know how to fix this?



Windows server 2008 R2 - How can I fix the warning message (120 days) appears

$

Hello 

I am using windows server 2008 R2 with multiple users (5 users accounts). I facing a problem where a 'pop up' warning message appears saying * you have 120 days left ......* every time when I or other users logged in to this server. I tried to check through the licencing server and add the license server's name and its credentials (Remote Desktop Services > Remote Desktop Session Host Configuration) in the configuration. Then there is no error and green tick appears in the License diagnosis tab under 'Remote Desktop Session Host Configuration' seem every thing fine. However, when log off and log in again I need to supply the credentials again and again for every time and for every user who log in. Also, the days are reducing meaning , I am left with 118 days more for remote desktop sessions .  

Q: Why every time the user logged in to the server , still getting this warning popup, although a valid license server name and its credentials were supplied ?? 

Q How can I fix this problem . I need complete solution for multiple users ? 

I hope you understand the problem. 

Thanks

Intermittent connection issues to our RemoteApp via RD Gateway

$

We are getting intermittent errors only when connecting to one of our Remote App servers. When users attempt to connect using an RDP file we provided them they occasionally get,

"RemoteApp Disconnected"
"Remote Desktop can't connect to the remote computer "MACHINE.DOMAIN.COM" for one of these reasons:

1) Your user account is not authorized to access the RD Gateway "RD-GATEWAY-DEV.DOMAIN.COM"

2) Your computer is not authorized to access the RD Gateway "RD-GATEWAY-DEV.DOMAIN.COM"

3) You are using an incompatible authentication method (for example, the RD Gateway might be expecting a smart card but you provided a password)

Contact your network administrator for assistance.

If they trying logging in with the same RDP file a couple of times, it eventually works. Not sure how to track this issue down.

We know that the RDP is ok, because it works much of the time.

Any ideas on what logs to look at on the server?

RDS connection broker HA 2016 failover problem

$

Hi!
I apologize for my English. 
Question about RDS connection broker HA 2016 failover. 

I set up an RDP farm. 
Two connection broker servers (CB1 and CB2) HA and 2 rd session host servers (T1 and T2).
As long as both CB servers are online, everything works fine. CB1 is an active management server.

I connect to T1 and then perform a disconnect. In server manager and SQL DB, I see the session in the disconnect state. After that, I suddenly turn off CB1.

1. If wait for about 5 minutes until the system itself makes management server CB2 active and then connect to T2, the RDP session will be redirected to T1. This is the expected behavior.

However

2. If immediately after suddenly turn off CB1 to attempt to connect to T2, then the session will be connected to it. Two sessions will appear in server manager and SQL DB. One is in the disconnected (T1) state, the other is in the active (T2) state.

Is this the correct behavior of the system, or have I configured something wrong?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello

I´ve installed Windows 2019 Server to our RDS environment, and for some time it worked well. We´re using 6 RDS servers and every day one of that freeze and needs to be restarted. Users who is logged to server works normally, but user who need to login just got black screen and freeze on that. In event viewer i found error 4005 The Windows logon process has unexpectedly terminated.

If im trying to connect to server via console (on dell servers) as server admin i cant do anything because login screen is freezed too. Only way is to restart server. Remote powershell looks like working, but cant log off user. There wasnt installed any updates when it start freezing :(

Any idea how to fix it ?

Difference between deployed rd license server and rd license server in deployment properties?

$
0
0

In a very simple windows 2012 r2 RDS server there are two setting which seem almost the same. If someone could explain the difference that would be helpful.

Both are accessible from the RDS Overview panel.

#1 is found in the Deployment Overview panel where there is a RD Licensing icon. If one adds a RD License Server via that icon, the server will appear in the adjacent Deployment Servers list.

#2 is exposed via Tasks list when you choose Edit Deployment Properties. The four deployment properties that are exposed there include an entry for RD Licensing, which allows you to again specify the FQDN for a RD License Server and to choose between licensing per device or per user.

RDS 2019 Gateway compatibility with 2012 R2 sessionhost

Hello

Can a Windows Server 2012 (R2) sessionhost be added to a Windows Server 2019 Gateway, and is this supported?

The Microsoft documentation has not yet been updated for Server 2019.
(https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/remote/remote-desktop-services/rds-supported-config)

I would like to migrate existing SH's to a newer Gateway to make use of a broader set of security ciphers.

Kind Regards
