Hello, 

I have added a language/IME using the Administrator account on the TS, but seems only Administrator has that language and IME, rest of users on the TSdoes not have that option to switch the Language/IME.

Could anyone tell me how to do this in a right way?

Thank you!

I have a user that uses his Windows 10 laptop to connect to the Windows 2008 R2 server using remote desktop. He was working fine for a while then all of a sudden started getting kicked off. He will connect for about 5 - 10 minutes and then get disconnected.

Event logs on the laptop are:

Event ID 1026 - RDP Client ActiveX has been disconnected (Reason = 516) - 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.

But he is able to connect so we know that remote access is enabled, the remote computer is not turned off (it's the main file server - never off), and the remote computer is available on the network or he would have never connected to get disconnected.

Event ID 226 - RDP Client_TCP: An error was encountered when transitioning from TcpStateConnectingTransport to TcpStateDisconnected in response to TcpEventConnectionTimeout (Error code:0X80004004)

We only use IPv4 so we have IPv6 unchecked. We specify the IP address and DNS settings so they are on the same network as the server. He remains connected to the network, just not to the server.

Event ID 1105 - The multi-transport connection has been disconnected.

I found an article with similar errors that pointed to inactive ports as the culprit. I checked the registry and found there were over 500 inactive ports. I ran the "fix-it" and it deleted all of the inactive ports. I will apply the HotFix tonight while everyone is logged off and am able to let it reboot. However, clearing those ports didn't stop him from disconnecting.

The event logs on the server are:

Event 25, TerminalServices-LocalSessionmanager - 1:47:14pm

Remote Desktop Services: Session reconnection succeeded: 

User: ServerName\UserName

Session ID: 3

Source Network Address: Laptop's IP Address

Event 24, TerminalServices-LocalSessionManager - 1:52:20pm

Remote Desktop Services: Session has been disconnected: 

User: ServerName\UserName

Session ID: 3

Source Network Address: Laptop's IP Address

This will continue like this all day. He can't stay connected for no more than 20 minutes. Some sessions are only a couple minutes. Does anyone know what we need to do to fix this?

Thanks,

Jessica

Hello,

Does anyone know how to install Yammer notifier on RDS W2K12 R2 for all users?
Tried some things but its not working. Normal Yammer installation and the MSI both are not working in RDS.

Any help will be appreciated.

We have 2 connection broker servers and few RDS session servers in the environment managed with VHD. whenever we try to remote in,its asking to login several times even though we enter the correct password. After the third time,users are getting authenticated and was able to login with the same user name and password.

Any solutions for this?

Hi All,

I am hoping someone is able to help or point me in the right direction. My google foo powers have let me down.

I am receiving the error:
RD Licensing Manager
Unable to perform operation: Access denied.

The overview is:
I have two domains "Adomain.local" & "Bdomain.local" (I know .local historic and not yet migrated)
Both domains have been joined and AD trust relationships configured and working.

Adomain.local has our terminal server licences installed. We have purchaed additional licences and added these to the rds server at Adomain.

When accessing RD Licensing Manager on Bdomain and attempting to add the license server "rds.Adomain.local" I receive the above error.

I have also tried this the other way around. ie adding rds.Bdomain.local to the Live license server rds.Adomain.local

Just incase it has a bearing:
rds.Adomain.local is Server 2016
rds.Bdomain.local is Server 2012 r2

Thanks for any help

dears,

I need your assistance with the below, i was deploying rds server. 

Configured rds hosts and rds brokers and rds licenses servers. I issued from the license server licenses per cal and per devices.

In the collection, i added a group that contains the users who are able to connect to the host.

After testing, more than one user were able to connect to the rds host therefore the testing was successful.

however when i went to test the per device cal, i did the following i added the server from where i want to access the rds host to the collection group created earlier. then i logged in to this device using anonymous user and tried to rdp the rds host from that server, however it returned an error : the connection was denied because the user account is not authorized for remote login which is true, the anonymous user is not added to any rds group but the server from where he tries to access the host is added to the group.

I need to understand the per device scenario, can anyone help me with how it its tested?

best regards

Hi,

First of all, please note this: 

• Network level authentication IS supported on all machines as per theAbout Remote Desktop Connection. So please don't ask me to check this on the about remote desktop connection window.
• All clients are set per GPO to use the Remote Setting of the "more secure" option:
• The problem is on random machines, all windows 7. We only have a few windows 10 machines but no issues found on those so far. 
• It doesn't matter if the RDP connection is initiated from a windows 7, windows 10 or Windows Server 2012 R2. The problem remains and is exactly the same.
• The problem exists when attempting to connect RDP from personal home PCs (not managed by company GPOs and MS update schedules) over VPN

So the problem is this, first comes the first message and then the second.

It seems to have started after we deployed some Microsoft server updates, but its very inconsistent, some sites seems worse off then others, but its not all machines at any site. We haven't even done client updates yet.

Again, please don't give me a link to an old post or blog saying that I need to enable network level authentication, as shown by the top screenshot, it is already enabled/supported.

I already spent hours googling this. Please, I want responses from people who have actually had the exact same symptoms and issues or someone who has an idea that I haven't already clearly stated that I've checked above already.

Thank you.

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?

Hello colleagues

When we are doing such config (enable multiple sessions per user):

Computer Configuration\ Administrative Templates\ Windows Components\ Remote Desktop Services\ Remote Desktop Session Host\ Connections

Restrict Remote Desktop Services users to a single Remote Desktop Services session     Disabled

We are not able to reconnect to any disconnected session that was running previously.

It seems that it was mentioned here for Inside build, but we have same...

Any solutions for this problem?

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.

I have found that when a RDP session that connects with Seamless SSO is interrupted, if the Network Location Awareness service decides to go into 'identifying' for even a half second, when the RDP connection goes to resume, SSO credentials do not work. However I have found that the times that the NlaSvc does not go into 'Identifying' then the connection will resume just fine. It appears that when its 'Identifying' even if I have the local policy set to 'Private' for Identifying connections, then SSO does not work. Is there a fix for this? Can RDP be made to wait or reattempt SSO credentials again automatically? The NlaSvc always goes back to DomainAuthenticated properly, even after half a second, but its still too late as RDP appears to have already tried reconnecting and fails to pass credentials at which point it prompts for a password.

I really need the reconnecting feature to work. Anyone have any ideas to solve this?

I've read a lot of documentation regarding VDI and RDS, yet I am still a little confused on some aspects.

Consider my company's scenario:

- We have a Windows Server 2019 Datacenter Edition running on a physical machine with 2 8-core processors (total of 16 cores)

- All employees have Software Assurance included with their Windows OS license on their laptops

We want:

- To host Client-based VMs (Win10 mainly) on our physical WS2019 and allow employees to remotely access their dedicated personal virtual machines

- Very rarely, we would occasionally like to host Server-based VMs (WS2012RS and WS2016 mainly) on our physical WS2019 and allow employees to access their personal server virtual machines. Our employees will not need to use this scenario often, only in unique circumstances.

- None of these VMs would be in use long-term. At max, each VM would be used for a month or two. More often, VMs will probably be needed on a week-long basis, then destroyed.

To my understanding:

- We need to apply a core-based license to our physical WS2019 Datacenter, covering all 16 cores, for the hardware to be in compliance.

- We can deploy as many Windows Server-based VMs as we would like, and can properly handle licensing VM OS's using AVMA

- Employees can connect to Server-based VMs only if they have a CAL

- We can deploy Client-based VMs, and employees can concurrently access up to 4 client virtual machines at any given time because they have SA

My questions:

- Do I have any of the information above wrong? Please correct me if I do

- Do we need to worry about licensing each individual Client-based VM? It seems ridiculous to need to provide a separate product key/activation for each VM instance when they're only needed for a short time.

- Can we deploy both Server-based and Client-based VMs like this in the same VDI environment?

- Do we need to still have the core-based license for our physical WS2019 if we only deploy Client-based VMs? 

- How do we go about purchasing and applying a core-based license for our physical WS2019?

Please let me know if there is any other critical information I may need that I have missed.

Thank you in advanced for helpful insights.

Hi All

We have had a client of ours regularly reporting that their server is grinding to a halt, applications go non responsive etc.

While checking into their server, the main issue I have found is that the process "appresources (2)", with the services "Tile Data model server" and "State Repository Service" will spike the server up to 99-100% CPU usage, normally up from the 10-20% the server is normally running at.

The client is using Windows Server 2016 DC in Remote Desktop Services mode. They are assigned 10 vCPU, 40GB static RAM. The back end Hyper-v failover cluster hosts each have 2 x 20 Core CPU, 384GB RAM and we have moved the clients VHDX's onto our more responsive SAN (IBM v7000). We aren't seeing the same reported issues from any other hosted remote desktop servers we have in place, which are a spread of 2012R2 and 2016 systems.

I have removed all other high CPU usage systems from their host, but we aren't seeing any difference - the appresource process continues kicks the server at random intervals. System was rebooted last night, and they are seeing slightly better performance but the appresources continues to regularly spike for unknown reasons.

At the time of the spike, a number of runtime broker processes kick in, and the "system" process also inflates its CPU usage.

I have not been able to assess if its a specific user performing any actions (16 users normally) that cause the spikes and they dont seem to kick off with any other server actions (backup software, server live migrations etc).

Any pointers or help would be appreciated as I have met a dead end.

hi Team,

i have a RDS farm with windows as session host servers. can we add Linux/unix servers as session host servers in existing RDS farm. kindly help

Hi all, we have the following setup in our hosted environment:

Server 1 - RDG, Gateway and License

Server 2 - Session host

They are server 2019.

If I RDP into server 1 and do a file transfer, (copy and paste) the speed is decent. for ex 2MB/sec..

If I RDP into server 2, the transfer speed goes down the toilet, like 300-400KB / sec

Connectivity between server 1 and 2 is fine, they are in the same network.

Any idea?

Hello All,

I have configured my RDS 2019 environment and was successful getting it to work with Azure MFA. However this only works if I have the authentication app and I allow push notifications. Is there a way to MFA the HTML5 page so I can require pin notification? 

Thanks,

Scott

I am running a Server 2016 with RDS and it's mainly used for remote apps. Our users are getting the "The task you are trying to do can't be completed because RDS is currently busy" and looking at the task manager, there appears to be a stuck login which I cannot disconnect. When I attempt to end all processes for that stuck user, it still does not go away and I need to reboot the VM which kicks everyone off.

I am running the latest patches but I find that I have to restart the VM at least 3-4 times a week to allow our users to use their remote app when they work from home.

What could be causing this issue?

I type:

Set-RDConnectionBrokerHighAvailability -ConnectionBroker "rds-broker-test.domain" -DatabaseConnectionString "DRIVER={SQL Server Native Client 11.0};SERVER=sql2016svc.domain;Trusted_Connection=Yes;APP=Remote Desktop Services Connection Broker;DATABASE=rds-broker-test" -ClientAccessName app-broker-test.domain

I get the error:

Could not add the RD Connection Broker server RDS-BROKER-TEST.domain to the cluster and migrate the existing
Windows Internal Database to the SQL Server database.
    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [Write-Error], RDManagementException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : SetRdmsHighAvailability,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.WriteErrorCommand
    + PSComputerName        : localhost

In the Broker event log I get:

Database migration - Failed: Could not add the RD Connection Broker server RDS-BROKER-TEST.domain to the cluster and migrate the existing Windows Internal Database to the SQL Server database - Event ID 32779

The Remote Desktop Connection Broker server could not be configured in high availability mode.

Error: The parameter is incorrect.  - Event ID 1739

SQL Server is 2016 - Always On Cluster - VM that lives in the same data center.

In SQL Profilter I can watch it creating the database, setting up tables, etc etc - when it errors out the last thing I see is:

ALTER DATABASE [rds-broker-test] SET MULTI_USER (just before this it updates the db version) - so the database server is up and working.

We've given the machine account full SA access to troubleshoot this issue - same problem.

the WID database that is setup on initial setup is fine - and the machine can connect to it internally.

I need to recover a file created by "USER1" on "PC-R" which was deleted by "USER2" on "Terminal Server"

"USER1" scans a file to a folder in her profile on "PC-R".

"USER2" remotes into "PC-B", connects to "Terminal Server", navigates to "USER1" folder on "PC-R", views the file, then deletes it.

Where did it go?

Have looked in:

"USER1" Recycle Bin on "PC-R"

"USER2" Recycle Bin on "PC-R"

"USER2" Recycle Bin on "PC-B"

"USER2" Recycle Bin on "Terminal Server"

"USER1" Recycle Bin on "Terminal Server"

Where else should I look?

Thanks for any help
