Per User RDS licensing on Windows Sever 2016 in Workgroup environment

$
0
0

Hello to All!

We have a problem with RDS feature on 2016 Server.

Server was deployed with no CALs installed and worked some time in a trial mode. Then owners of this server bought 30 Per User licenses trough SPLA programm and I was asked to activate and install licenses in it.

Before I connect to server I saw that owners are now in procces of deleting grace period registry entry (because grace period has ended and they was in big hurry to make it work again).

After all this and mine (standart activation and installing licenses proccess) manipulations server now did not want to see legal licenses and continuing working in trial mode (grace period still ticking). Last manipulations was to delete grace registry again and reboot the sever (I found similar situation https://www.360ict.nl/blog/no-remote-desktop-licence-server-availible-on-rd-session-host-server-2012/) but it did not helped and now grace period start ticking from beginnig (120 days).

I found info that 2016 server is still can issue Per User CALs to local users in Workgroup environment and made all manipulations with local group policies https://digitalbamboo.wordpress.com/2017/04/05/deploy-remote-desktop-services-in-a-workgroup-easily/ and other stuff and now in diagnostics there have no warning and all green.

Maybe some one faced similar problem or have any suggestions I would be very graceful. I'm desperate already.


New to RDS with RDP

I came from the VM Ware remote desk top services so stumbling a little getting up and running. I have a windows 2019 farm built and working with published apps and 2 windows 10 pools one pooled and one personal. Everything is working across HTTPS including html 5 where I have an issue is with some thin clients I am running ( RDP protocol ) . I point them at my RD Connection Broker server and added the reg entry to redirect to my  windows 10pooled pool everything works great. With only one RD Connection Broker ( in this case 2 clustered ) how can I redirect some thin clients to the personal pool and others to the pooled pool. Thanks for any help you can give me here.

RWW via a Mac or IOS

Hello support,

I have Windows 2012 R2 standard server as a RDS clients on it.  it runs an applications on it called ACT! and 7 users login to it to access the Act! program and their individual email outlook. There are three users that have Apple devices that use RDP client for Mac that access the server.  I want to close port 3389 and use Remote Web Access (via a ssl certificate) and using essential experience to access the server instead of RDP.  But when I go to browser (Safari) and put in the remote link.  https://remote.domain.com/remote,     I am able to log in and the remote client is downloaded and when I click on it, it wants to open it with an app and it cannot find and goes to App Store but all the programs there are greyed out or not available.  

The same process for iPad and iPhone. How can safely access the server?  I appreciate your help.

Select Icons To Appear In Taskbar Doesn't Stay Selected Between Sessions - Possible UPD Issue

$

Every time I log into RDS, I have to re-"Select which icons appear on the taskbar" to have my notification shown in the system tray.  Every time.  I have UPD and Redirected Folders.  In User Profile Disks setup within the RDS setup, I chose "Store all user settings and data on the user profile disk".  Yet, it's not saving my selection of icons that I want displayed within my system tray upon logging off.  What do I need to do so that users don't have to keep re-selecting every time they log into RDS?  It seems to defeats the purpose of using UPD, i.e., is unable to roam properly.  Thank you!  -John Babbitt-

Unable to login as admin tomy DC after enabling interactive login

Windows Server 2008

As stated in the title, i enforced the interactive login: require a smart card to login. Logged off and it applied and now I am unable to login to the DC using my admin account because it is not associated with a smart card. I undid the gp back to original but am still unable to login to the DC. I assume its because i can't get the login script to run to fix the issue. How do i go about getting the login to update the GP without actually logging in?

RDS Licensing Questions

OS in question Server 2016 and Server 2019

If we have a 2019 Remote Desktop Server and it has 20 RDS User Client Access Licenses. All 20 users have logged in at some point and consumed a License. Then a 21st person logs in.   What Happens?  

Do the old users eventually still drop off if they have not connected?

Is there a Manual way to Assign/deassign a License to a user?

RDS - IE11 passwords not retained

$

We have an Windows 2016 RDS collection consisting of a 1 x RDCB, 1 x RD Web Access, 1 x RD Gateway and 7 x RDSH servers. User Profile Disks are enabled. We redirect the users Documets, Desktops & Appdata to a seperate file share.

Users are reporting IE11 does not retain their usernames & passwords, desipite selecting 'remember/save', when logging into websites etc. We have installed Chrome on the RDSH servers and this seems to correctly saves the users login details. How can we get IE to retain the users passwords etc.

Please note, we are using RDS rather than VDI.

Using Remote Desktopo Svcs internally

I am a contractor at Microsoft and need to log onto a lab remote connection to be able to test and verify content I am creating. I have brought the RDS sign in up and entered what I believe is the "Computer" name. That is the information under External Hostname. Is that the correct information to provide for Computer? Because I just get a message saying:

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

Make sure the remote computer is turned on and connected to the network, and that remote access is enabled.

Am I doing something incorrectly or does it just take 24 - 48 hrs. to enable the connection for my ID (which I did not enter).

Mouse cursor interacting with Remote Desktop App windows on the wrong monitor

We have a WinForms application we use as a remote desktop app and recently we've had multiple users report a situation where clicking on one monitor actually interacts with windows on another monitor. Restarting the remote desktop application seems to fix the problem. Our users have a two monitor setup.

Has anyone else experienced this issue?

RDS 2016 Collection - weird Home folder Issues.

$
0

Hi everyone,

didn't know where else to turn on this one as I've been building TS/RDS farms/clusters for over 15 years and I've never seen anything like this before:

here is the setup:

  • RDSGW01 - RDS Gateway Server
  • RDSCB01 - RDS Connection Broker
  • RDSSH01 - RDS Session Host 1
  • RDSSH02 - RDS Session Host 2
  • RDSSH03 - RDS Session Host 3

i'm not using DNS round robin for the load balancing, the RDP file has the necessary settings for the load balancer. for the most part everything works absolutely perfectly and as expected. its the next part that has me stumped.

i also need to let you know that this set up is allowing multi user logins (i know, but it was a customer requirement)

here are the users:

  • User 1 (has a home folder drive set via profile in AD)
  • User 2 (has mapped drives via GPO's)
  • User 3 (has a home folder drive set via profile in AD)

User 2 logs in, starts working no problem. When User 1 logs in they also have no problem however, a few minutes later User 2 gets the home folder drive from User 1 mapped in their session... it just appears. then later when User 3 logs in the same thing happens, their home folder drive appears as a drive in User 2's session.

at first i thought it was a rogue GPO or something but profile drives aren't mapped that way. User 2 has no access or policy or scripts that should let them have these drives....

help !

FYI. users are getting different RDS Hosts when they log on so its not as if its isolated to a single server.

I have 3 Win2016 Terminal-Server - all show the same Problem:

Sometimes Windows Desktop is not responding - no Startmenu reaction, no right-click on taskbar. But i can double-click Desktop-Icons and the program starts. I also have this problem when i log on locally as admin.

In the Eventlog i get:

Hi,

I'm building a RDS environment based on Windows Server 2016. When i connect via RDP i get the message below.

I need a simple way to get rid of this. I know i can tell users to just check the box to don't show again, but i want to deliver a clean configuration. Downloading the shortcut from the web access page solves it as well, but in this environment it's not simple to enroll this on hundreds of thin clients.

Can someone help me?

Limit Redirect Printers

$

Hey everyone we have a very secure network designed off of NIST 800-171 requirements and we have an RDS environment from a less secure environment to a more secure environment. On the less secure environment we have printers pretty much everywhere around the world. In the secure environment we only want printing to be done to printers that we have vetted and approved for PIN to Print. The RDS environment is hosted inside the secure environment. We know we can allow passthrough for printers for RDS but we want to limit it to printers that we say are OK and have vetted. Is this possible with RDS that anyone might know? We are using RDS on 2016.

Thanks!


Install mode not working.

Hi, 

I have an RDS host in Windows Server 2016 acting as an RD Session host and my session collections has User Profile Disks enabled and "Store all user settings and data stored on the user profile disk" set. 

I tried to install Zoom and Slack through "change user /install" mode and also through "Install application on Remote Desktop Server" and the software gets correctly installed in the users profile I used to install them on but the rest of the users only get the Windows Menu shortcuts that point to an inexistent .exe file. 

Working shortcut for the user that installed the software. 
  Target  : C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\slack\slack.exe
  Work in: C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\slack\app-3.4.1

 What the rest of the users get in their shortcut.
  Target  : C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\slack\slack.exe
  Work in: C:\Users\<user who installed the software>\AppData\Local\slack\app-3.4.1

Anything I am doing wrong or I need to consider?
Any help will be welcome.

Thanks a lot, 



RDP - connecting to server as 'local' administrator

Hi there,


is there a way to connect via rdp to a server as a local admin?
The program I use always detects that I am in a ts session (using the administrator account) and does not give me full access. Is there a way to hide the information and pretend to be logged in to the physical machine as administrator?

I tried mstsc /admin and username ./administrator but both are not working

Thanks
