We are migrating our Session Host to a new domain. But in the new domain users obviously gets a new username and SID.
Are there any way we can connect the old User Profile Disk to the new user?
Thank you.

Limit only 1 rdp session
Hi everybody,
I'm asking to this forum because I'm not finding anything... (or probably I'm not able to).
As you know, the limit od rdp simultaneously connections in windows server 2012 is limited to 2.
Now I need to limit it only to one (like a windows 10 client for example).
There is a solution that avoid to install the terminal services?
thanks in advance!

Get-RDLicensingConfiguration on remote sytems
For some reason when trying to get a list of set RD Licensing servers set on remote systems the commandlet returns an error when run in pssession or via invoke-command. However, when run locally on the remote system works fine. Can anyone confirm it's
the case in your environment and how to go around this problem.

Windows 2019 RDS Farm - Window Shadows
Hi,
I am in the process of building a new 2019 RDS farm to replace an aging 2008R2 one. I am at the point where i am ready for the UAT however i am having problems making a change apply to all users.
The problem is that the visual effects are set to not 'Show shadows under windows' which is making it almost impossible to see where one windows ends and another begins. I know this will be a problem in the UAT as the users have made similar complaints when first using the current farm.
I can switch the shadows back on fine for my user, however i cant seem to find anywhere to set this for all users across the system. The last thing i want to do is have to enable this setting for each user (~300 users) on their first login.
Is anyone aware of a group policy which can be applied to have this option set as default? I have read multiple articles online, but they are all geared towards Windows 7.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

RDP 2012 R2 - Maximum Number of redirected monitors not working!
Hi community,
I have an issue with the "Maximum number of redirected monitors"-setting on my 2012 R2 Terminalserver. I have setup a maximum number of 2 monitors in the session collection properties on the server. If a client with 3 monitors establishes a connection,
there is only 1 monitor used in the RDP-session. The client has the "use all of my monitors for the remote session" activated, as there is NO option to choose "2 monitors".
We have tested FROM windows 7 and windows 10 same behaviour.
Any ideas?
Regards

RDS Server 2012R2 - Keyboard shortcuts (Alt + Tab) not working for RDP
Hi, hoping someone can help me out.
I have 3 virtual RDS servers (1 x Broker,Gateway and 2 x Session Hosts) all hosted on HyperV. The RDS servers are running Windows Server 2012 R2 and patched to the latest updates.
Our end users connect to the RDWeb URL to access their applications, one of these applications is the Remote Desktop Connection app (this is so they can remote onto other computers or servers within the environment).
The problem is, the users connect to RDWeb, launch RDP icon/app, pop in the system name and connect to it. While connected to that system, if they try and Alt + Tab between the apps they have open, it only tabs between the apps on their local Windows client OS computer.
I have tested myself and changed various settings under Apply Windows key combinationssuch as On the remote computer, Only when using the full screen but I still cannot Alt + Tab the between the apps I have open on this RDP connection via RemoteApps.
As a test, I launched RDP locally on the Session Host server and connected to another server and I was able to Alt + Tab the apps fine. So the RDP application itself seems to use Alt + Tab correctly on the Session Host server, however it does not work if you connect via RDP app/icon on RemoteApps.
I tried various other combination of Windows key shortcuts and none of them work, with the exception of Ctrl + Alt + End, this combination brings up the security dialog box.
RDP app shows it is Version 6.3.9600
Hopefully someone has some ideas on what I can check?
Thanks, Mick.

Setup Connection Broker HA multiple sites
Hi all,
We have an infrastructure deployed on 2 sites, Production and Disaster Recovery.
In order to manage this platform, I want to deploy an RDS Farm of Jump Servers for the engineers to operate.
This deployment will have 4 servers, 2 as a Connection Brokers in HA + 4 as a Session Hosts (including 2 CBs), also License servers will be deployed on Domain Controllers and SQL CB database will be hosted in an Availability Group with nodes in both sites.
In order to provide resiliency, I want to deploy 2 servers in Prod and 2 servers in DR.
My question is, can I configure 1 CB in Prod and the other one in DR site?
If so, I assume that both will use the same SQL DB for HA, but do you know if there's any way to configure that CB in DR points to SQL Db in DR where a secondary-readable copy of the DB will be running?
I know that probably this is an strange scenario and I'm pretty sure that the second part, the SQL one, is not possible. But just wanted to know if some of you faced a similar approach and even if there are better options to achieve this.
Thanks in advance.

Remote Apps cannot be started from an RDSH server
Hello,
We're running Server 2012 R2 servers as an RDS farm.
When I log into one of the RDS server ("the bad guy") and use mstsc /admin to RDP to another RDAPP server it connects fast without issues, however whenever I launch any Remote App to the same RDPAPP server or any other RDPAPP server and click on "show details" while its connecting I see that when it gets to "Preparing Windows" it hangs there for about 30 seconds before finally terminating the session.
When i launch the same RemoteApps from any other 2012R2 RDSH from the same farm i do not experience any issues. It should be some issue with this single 2012R2 RDS host but i could not find any error messages in the Event Viewer.
Do you have any ideas?
Thank you.

Windows 2012 R2 Broker uneven scaling, load balancing
Hi Guys,
Hope someone can point me in the right direction for this.
We have 3 server all exactly the same Models, ram and CPU. Running windows 2012 R2 and VDI RDS sessions.
What I have noticed is that VDI session are not evently distributed, across the servers. I am not talking about 1 or two machines, but 30 machines. So one server can have 55 machines while the other is only running 15.
This has created a problem when as we recently updated an application that requires more resources and found servers going over 65 machine, which consumed all the resources on the server and create lag and other issues.
Can anyone explain this difference in load and also if its possible to workout a solution.
Thanks for any answer is advance.

Is Azure MFA on RD Gateway free
As announced on Ignite 2019 Azure MFA will be free for office 365 as well as for AAD administrators.
I have a setup with RDS 2019 and Azure MFA. Everything works fine and every user is licensed with an Azure AD Premium-license. The only reason that license is assigned is because we wanted to use Azure MFA for increased security on the RD Gateway.
Is it safe to say that I can remove these licenses now and still use Azure MFA, for free?
for reference: https://docs.microsoft.com/sv-se/azure/active-directory/authentication/concept-mfa-licensing
Thank you in advance,

2019 Remote Desktop Session Host
Just want to confirm a machine running a 2019 Remote Desktop Session Host will need a 2019 licensing server? If so, can we have it on separate server(on a different machine just running only the licensing server role).
On our Remote Desktop Session Host machine, we specified on group policy (gpedit.msc) to point to the licensing server and also choose CAL. The machine is in the same domain.
Background:
We recently deployed a 2019 RDS Host machine and found out after 120 days, we had issues. Our DCs are 2016. In a quick fix, the other admin pushed out a new 2019 machine running the licensing server role.
Thanks,

Questions on RDS CALS with Windows Server 2019
Hi Team,
I have couple of questions on RDS CALS
- With 5*2019 RDS User CALS, can we have five concurrent connection to a server running Windows Standard 2019 OEM?
- If we downgrade the Windows Standard server 2019 to 2016, Would 2019 RDS CALS work with Windows 2016 Server OS? If not, can we get RDS CALS 2019 downgraded to 2016 to use it with Windows Standard Server OS?
- If we already own 2016 User CALS, can we use it with Windows Standard server 2019?
- We use to have 2 RDS CALS included with Windows server 2008 earlier, Is it the same case with 2019 windows server standard?

Remote Desktop Services 2019 - domain users work; local users get a warning about disconnect in 60 minutes
We just built a new Windows Server 2019 server running Remote Desktop Services 2019, using the Quick Start install. It's a single server so everything is on that one server including the Licensing Server. Domain Users can connect without issues, but local users that connect remotely get an error "Remote Desktop License Issue" "There is a problem with your Remote Desktop license, and your session will be disconnected in 60 minutes". The local user does indeed get disconnected in 60 minutes and has to reconnect. What's wrong?
NOTE: I noticed in the Remote Desktop Licensing Diagnoser that the Remote Desktop Host Server version is Windows Server 2016 for some reason. It should be 2019.

Disconnecting RDP Session Causing Excel C++ Macro to Pause
Hi,
I'm kicking off an extensive Excel macro on a network machine via Remote Desktop Connection that takes roughly 50 hours to complete. The macro VB calls a DLL file to execute a chunk of code in C++ (I did not build it and am not well versed). Running the macro in an active session works fine, but if I disconnect and return a good time later, I can tell the macro has made zero progress since when I disconnected from the session--I can tell from status bar communication in Excel. Once I reconnect my session, the macro continues running like I'd never left and no error messages or code execution breaks messages to be found.
It gets weirder--I have 4 options of VMs to choose from, all of which have identical specs (Windows 10, 64-bit Office, 64-bit OS). The macro will continue to run when I'm disconnected on only ONE machine. The only difference I can see on the one machine that's successfully running the macro, is that it's the least recent to have been rebooted (and therefore updated) of the lot.
I do not have local admin rights on any of the machines. Any incite would be greatly appreciated.
I'll caveat that I'm kind of a layman in tech speak; I apologize if I chose the wrong categories to post on.

Unable to install Fonts
Recently we've had a vendor update one of their applications. With this application there are 10 fonts that need to be installed (are not being installed when the application is installed). The result of this is incorrect forms being created or documents with nasty symbols all over the place.
I'm posting this here in the RDS forums since these are the servers where I first noticed the issue. Attempting to open\install them on other 2016 servers has been hit or miss.
Occasionally when I first log into one of the Session Hosts I am able to open the first font. Subsequent attempts to open the font result in an "invalid font" error. I get the error that the format or font is invalid when I try to open it, right-click and install it, or drop it into the Fonts folder directly.
I know the fonts are fine since I can open them on a Windows 10 machine, and most Server 2016 machines. In the few cases where I can't open it on the other servers I'm still able to install them.
I expect this to be a pretty niche issue, but I would love some feedback or ideas on troubleshooting. There is nothing in the event logs nor do I have any idea about how to track a failed font installation. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Michael
