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

$
0
0

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.
An internal error occurred with error 0x800705AA. See http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=235160 for help diagnosing app deployment issues.
NOTE: For additional information, look for [ActivityId] 5597e571-c93a-001c-e6eb-97553ac9d401 in the Event Log or use the command line Get-AppxLog -ActivityID

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.

Thanks.


USB Drive redirection except local drives

$

hello every one 

i have a issue with RDP redirection

the problem is i can't redirect just usb drives but not the local drives

i think of some script to run when the rdp session is created on the server and map the usb on the user's computers

but i don't know where to start

i also tried redirection policies in group policy but when you Disable drive redirection it's also assume the usb drive as a drive so i can't use the group policy or other things except some script that map detect the PnP devices on user's computers and map it and prohibit the local drives redirection.

thank you in advance

RDS Servers Events 7011, 7046 - BSOD rdbss.sys

$
0
0

Hi All

I have a virtualised (VMWare) RDS 2012R2 environment with 20 Session hosts spread across 6 Dell ESXI Hosts - 2 Sets of different PowerEdge Models. Over the past 4-6 weeks we have started to get multiple event 7011's followed by a 7046.

A timeout (30000 milliseconds) was reached while waiting for a transaction response from the UmRdpService service.

The following service has repeatedly stopped responding to service control requests: Remote Desktop Services UserMode Port Redirector

At this point some existing connected users cant sign out and applications start to crash including explorer.exe. Trying to shutdown via the GUI just hangs and the only way to get the server back is to reset the power using vSphere console. 

Applications on the Session Hosts are mainly MS Office 2016, Acrobat Reader, 7Zip and Webroot AV. Windows OS and applications are fully patched and up to date and Dell Firmware and drivers are fully up to date. 

Users connect in via RemoteApp and local drives and printers are redirected into their sessions. 

The weird thing is, like clockwork the crashes happen at the end of each day usually between 16:00 - 18:00 - To me its like a degradation symptom or perhaps its the actions of users disconnecting or logging off their session - Its affecting a couple of servers each day. 

On top of this, it appears 7011, 7046 results in a BSOD. I have grabbed the Memory.dmp file and opened it with WinDbg. 

Im now trying to figure out the dmp - uploaded to PasteBin here (happy to paste dmp here but didnt want to "dump" to much information in the post)

What stands out to me is rdbss.sys

Probably caused by : rdbss.sys ( rdbss!__RxAcquireFcb+1f3 )

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (a)
An attempt was made to access a pageable (or completely invalid) address at an
interrupt request level (IRQL) that is too high.  This is usually
caused by drivers using improper addresses.
If a kernel debugger is available get the stack backtrace.
Arguments:
Arg1: 0000000000000000, memory referenced
Arg2: 0000000000000002, IRQL
Arg3: 0000000000000000, bitfield :
bit 0 : value 0 = read operation, 1 = write operation
bit 3 : value 0 = not an execute operation, 1 = execute operation (only on chips which support this level of status)
Arg4: fffff80179d3ba44, address which referenced memory

BUCKET_ID:  AV_rdbss!__RxAcquireFcb

PRIMARY_PROBLEM_CLASS:  AV_rdbss!__RxAcquireFcb

My rdbss.sys version - 6.3.9600.18895

Can anyone help to try and decipher the above and suggest next/best cause of action?

Many thanks :)


Black Screen on all new Connections, SessionHost has to be rebooted

$

hi,

we're suffering from session hosts that produce black screen errors in a RDS 2016 farm.

already connected users can mostly work, all new connections end up with a black screen.

to resolve the error the server has to be restarted.

i can say that

- this error appears after error 1534 (Fehler bei der Profilbenachrichtigung des Ereignisses Delete für Komponente {709E2729-F883-441e-A877-ED3CEFC975E6}. Fehlercode: Das System kann die angegebene Datei nicht finden.) starts appearing in the eventviewer.

- upon checking the registry for this SID i end up at "ProfileNotifyHandler Class app id {E10F6C3A-F1AE-4adc-AA9D-2FE65525666E} inprocserver32, C:\Windows\System32\gameux.dll".

- starting explorer.exe per taskmgr does not open an actual explorer window although the process appears in taskmgr

- tskmgr, eventvwr, cmd can be started without problems

- affected users appear as active in RDS management

- no third party security software is installed

- farm is fully patched

- HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\ProfileGUID and ProfileList are ok (no old or .bak entries)

looking forward on how to resolve this without  rebooting the server or a permanent fix

thank you

best regards


Can I connect directly to a desktop in a pooled vdi collection running on server 2012 using an rdp client?

$

I've set up a test server with a pooled vdi collection of Windows 7 desktops.  I am able to use web access to connect to one of the desktops using my test account.  However, if I try to use my local rdp client to connect to testhost.domain.com, it rejects the connection as my test user isn't a member of the remote desktop users group on the server.  "Testhost" is the connection broker, so I had expected that by trying to RDP to that server, I would be redirected to a virtual desktop, similar to how a connection broker in a 2008R2 RDSH farm will redirect incoming connections to a farm member. 

My end goal is to connect to these vdi sessions from a thin client, using the built in rdp client.  Is this possible?  Am I doing something wrong?

Also, what is the minimum version of RDP that could be used to connect to a 2012 connection broker / VDI pool?

Hello.

I have a windows server 2012 r2 rds farm working properly (5 servers), users connect without problems, as do the administrators, but when granting permission to access a group directly to the farm servers, the access is denied.
Any advice?

Thanks

Weird session hanging in Remote Desktop/Remote Access

$
0
0

I do the IT work for a local small business. A few months ago the owner decided to change from one software vendor to another. The previous was a web based application and the new one is accessed through Remote Desktop/Remote Access to a Windows 2008 R2 server. All of our desktops run the latest up-to-date versions of Windows 10, all are HP computers, all get about 50mbps down and 20mbps up. We went live with the system on the first of the month however since the beginning our client desktops will experience odd session hanging/freezing seemingly randomly. I will bring up another program(Google Chrome, Outlook, etc) for a few minutes and go back and it will be "frozen". Although this is inconsistent as I can do the same thing for longer and it won't hang/freeze. When this happens I'll kill the app in task manager. Then I go through the log in process again and it brings up the session just how it was before it "froze" saying something along the lines of "Are you sure you want to restart the connection" with yes and no options. I'll then hit no to continue the previous session and it is like it never happened. This only takes a minute but this happens 10-20 times a day for each of my users and they are getting frustrated.

The vendor says they are working to find a solution and that our problem is unique, however it has been a few weeks and they haven't really said much outside of normal troubleshooting efforts. I cannot do anything server side, that's on them, but on the client side I've tried just about everything I could think of or find. I've tried turning off/on just about every MSTSC setting there is, I've updated all drivers for everything(was specifically targeting network and graphics), I've disabled auto-tuning on the NIC, I've edited the registry to only only allow TCP connections in TS, I've reset our router, and I've tried other remote desktop apps. When we went live and noticed it happening we immediately did a Ping Monitor on one of our hosts for a week and ruled out network/internet issues. I've also remoted in to the server from a Windows 8 laptop from home and the issue was not present. Event viewer show nothing anywhere, it's like it isn't happening even though it is. 

If anyone has any tips or suggestions, I'm open to anything at this point. If not I'll wait around for the vendor to hopefully figure it out. 

User profile disk (.vhdx) files increasing frequently

$

In windows server 2012 R2 RDS farm user profile disk (.vhdx) files increasing frequently that causes lack of free space on storage location where the UPD files located. Every day approximately 10-20GB space filled on storage where the UPD locates. When mount and checking vhdx within them the amount of data is much smaller than the size of vhdx disk. Is there any way to prevent increasing UPD disks frequently or reduce/release/reclaim disk space on UPD vhdx files?


Windows Search changes in Server 2019 RDS

Hi,

So nothing like being on the cutting edge......

I have been testing Server 2019 RDS and so-far-so-good apart from an issue with the Windows Search Service.

It appears that in Server 2019 each user gets their own search database EDB file in their profile path (appdata\roaming). e.g.

C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Search\Data\Applications\S-1-5-21-3901271148-1553943383-1671037523-1629\S-1-5-21-3901271148-1553943383-1671037523-1629.edb

When they log on and log off; this is connected to the search service and the following event log is generated

Source:ESENT
EventID: 326
SearchIndexer (10896,D,50) S-1-5-21-3901271148-1553943383-1671037523-1629: The database engine attached a database (3, C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Search\Data\Applications\S-1-5-21-3901271148-1553943383-1671037523-1629\S-1-5-21-3901271148-1553943383-1671037523-1629.edb). (Time=0 seconds)

Unfortunately it appears that this process is not very stable and on some logons the database in the users profile does not attach and the following error is generated

Source:Search
EventID: 3057
The plug-in manager <Search.TripoliIndexer> cannot be initialized.
Context: S-1-5-21-3901271148-1553943383-1671037523-1629 Application

Source:Search
EventID: 3028
The gatherer object cannot be initialized.
Context: S-1-5-21-3901271148-1553943383-1671037523-1629 Application, SystemIndex Catalog
Details: The specified object cannot be found. Specify the name of an existing object.  (HRESULT : 0x80040d06) (0x80040d06)

And a few more similar but related errors....

No subsequent logon/off will succeed in attaching the database until the Windows Search service is restarted

I am not testing with User Profile Disks or Roaming Profiles
There is no AV on the server

Any ideas?

RDS 2016 deployment over Citrix Netscaler as load balancer.

$

Hello,

I would like to create RDS deployment based on Windows Server 2016. Idea is to load-balance RDSH servers via Citrix Netscaler. I have some questions in regards to that deployment. 

Environment: 10 RDSH servers + 2 RDS Connection Brokers + 1 License server. All RDSH servers will be available over NS VIP. 

1. Is RDS Broker server needed if Netscaler is in front of deployment?
2. Will Citrix Netscaler use RDS broker as point to verify whether user has active session or disconnected session?
3. If there is no need to use Gateway/web interface, is it necessary to create collection?

Thank you in advance,

Hi all,

I found some interesting errors in the event log. They occur every time a user logs off.

The rds is a server 2016 with user profile disks enabled. The UPDs are set to take all data (no folder selection or filtering).

1) [Warning] User Profile Service 1534

Force RDP to connect in full screen mode

$

Hello there,

I have about 60 servers that I manage remotely using RDP from the office and from home.

At the office I have a 19" screen with max resolution of 1280X1024 and at home I have 20" wide screen with max resolution of 1650X1050.
When I work from the office, I have no issues. When I work from home, I first VPN into my machine at the office and then RDP to the different servers. After working from home and going back to the office, RDP opens in a 640X480 resolution and that produces horizontal and vertical scoll bars and I need to adjust it multiple times until it holds for all servers. If I work from home this happens again.

is there a registry setting that I can force RDP to always start in full screen regardless of resolution used? I've been googling it for a little while and came up with nothing.

I am using Windows Vista Business 32bit with RDP v6.0 at the office and Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit with the original RDP client at home, if that makes any difference.

Thank you,

Find other users/session printers?

Hi, is it possible for an Administrator to get info about other users printers on a terminalserver. I have tried different commands and used psexec and even if the users see that the command windows is running the result is only the Administrators printers. I need to run wmic printer get name,default or Get-WmiObject -Query " SELECT * FROM Win32_Printer WHERE Default=$true" as/in another user/session and then return that users printers not the Administrators printers.

Changing Text Size For Windows 2019 RDP Users

It was a simple process to change the scaling of text/icons with 2012 RDP users by going to Display Settings and changing the scaling from 100% to 150%.

Can't seem to get there with Windows 2019. User is on Windows 7 so they are using an older RDP client. When you go to Display settings in their session it says Display settings can't be changed in an RDP session and everything is grayed out. Even when you hit Advanced the scaling is grayed out.


Publishing Remote Apps from Multiple Session Hosts

$

Hi guys, I'm coming from the Citrix world so I need to re-learn how this works, but I have a RDS server which is also a session host, and an additional session host. Both are in a collection called Test.

I have some software installed on both servers which I can publish. I have some software just on the main RDS/session host which I can publish, and some software just on the second session host which I can not publish.

I don't necessarily want to have to install the software on both. How can I accomplish this? I tried to create another collection and just add the second host but I can't because its already part of the first one I suppose. What do I need to be doing in this regard?


Thanks for any feedback.

Redirecting certain local drives to RDS collection desktop

$
0
0

Hello everyone,

We currently have an RDS collection set up with high availability connection brokers.

In our collection settings, we have redirection enabled for any type of drives and shown here:

As expected, when a user logs into their RDS Desktop, all of their local drives get redirected to their remote desktop (including any network drives they have mapped locally):

What we're looking to do is to only redirect the C: drive, the D: drive, and the E: drive. Our network drives begin on F: so that we have room for USB drives on D: and E:.

As a quick test, I've tried to redirect only the C: drive. So, I went on to our connection broker and typed in the following PowerShell command:

Set-RDSessionCollectionConfiguration -CollectionName "CollectionTest" -CustomRdpProperty "drivestoredirect:s:C:"

The command ran successfully and since we have two connection brokers, I went to make sure that the registry got updated on both connection brokers. And alas, it replicated on both connection brokers (as expected):

I logged into our desktop published by our RDS collection and found out that this didn't work.All of our drives are still being redirected. I went ahead and rebooted the remote desktop session host (RDSH) and all network drives are still being redirected.

I tried entering the command in again, however this time, I added the other two drives that I want to be redirected:

Set-RDSessionCollectionConfiguration -CollectionName "CollectionTest" -CustomRdpProperty "drivestoredirect:s:C:D:E:"

I followed the same process, making sure that the registry had updated on both connection brokers, etc. and still no results. All of the local drives are still being redirected.

Is there a part I'm missing here? Am I typing in the wrong command? Any insight would greatly be appreciated.

Thanks

Windows 8.1 and RDS 2019 not working

Hello,

I can log into my RDS session on Windows 10 without issue, however using the exact credentials in the exact network on a Windows 8.1 PC, the RDS session will not connect. 

Are there any other configurations or patches required for 8.1 to work?

Thank You,

Remote Apps, about RD Gateway certificates

$
0
0
The environment that we're building now.

Client ----(443) ---- [ RD Gateway, RD Web Access ] ---- (3389) ---- [AD DS / DNS, RD Session Host, RD Connection Broker ]

As shown in , we use two servers to implement external networks.

When using the internal network, download the certificate of the RD Gateway and install it internally to operate normally.

If the Remote Desktop Service deployment settings specify a trusted certificate by setting the external domain name (FQDN) on the public IP mapped to the RD Gateway when you try to use it for the external network, I wonder if it is possible to use it without installing a separate certificate (such as importing) such as the internal network process. I also want to use the RD Client app to make sure it's the same in my mobile environment.

++

Is the external FQDN of the RD Gateway as available at "remoteapp.rds.co.kr" when the internal DNS is currently named "rds.local"?

Can't connect to RDP on Windows Server 2016

Hi,

We have a Server 2016 with Remote Desktop Services enable but we can't connect to it anymore (it worked before).

We tried a lot of things already but not solved it yet. It seems the RDS isn't accepting connections on port 3389.

- telnet to it on port 3389 not working

- ping does work

- verified the port setting in registry

- rebooted the server

- added a separate rule to allow 3389 always

- netstat -an doesn't show an listening port on 3389

Someone an idea?
