Sessions are suddenly redirected to one session host

$
0
0

Hi,

I'm experiencing problems with my RDS setup for a week now. All servers run Windows Server 2016 standard. The setup is as followes;

23x session host server
1x RD session broker
1x RD licensing
1x RD web access

I've created a DNS forward lookup zone for RDS.MYDOMAIN.COM and added A-records for all the session hosts. Clients connect to this address. There a 5 more collections active on the broker. These collections contain a few session hosts each. No problems here.

The servers ran smoothly for the last year now. Sinds last week suddenly all session are redirected to one random session host about every morning.

All session hosts are rebooted every night and after that the broker gets a reboot. When the problem occurs, a reboot fixes it for some time. But the issue comes back. Session host 22 and 23 were added to the collection 3 days before the problems started to occur.

Any help is more than welcome!

Dear All,

Somebody has experience with problems connecting to Server 2016 RDS server for Apple Devices,

Working perfectly for any other client

But when a Apple device wants to connect through HTML5 secure connection i get a disconnection log ,

Error message 

The server security layer detected an error (0x80004005) in the protocol stream and the client,

I unchecked the remote desktop setting for NLA usage in the security settings of the session collection but it doesnt make a difference, also I pushed a gpo for this setting enforced,

Security level is negotiate and encryption level Client compatible,

How to change password in RDP session

$

In my situation all RDP clients are remote over the internet. their passwords expire every 60 days. How can the user change their password before it expires? CTRL ALT DEL will not work because it takes you to a password change on your local machine. Note the users have no access to a desktop only a single application is forced to run through the user profile.

issue rds farm broker

$

Hello All,

We have big issues with our customer.

The environment is an rds 2016 farm with 1 broker and a gateway and 20 rds windows server 2016 and a remote server for remore login.

For our production collection we encounter serieus issues since the 8th of January 2020.

The thing is we have 20 rds windows server 2016 servers with 6 core per socket and 1 virtual socket 24 gb ram.

The broker normally devides the sessions per server but for some kind of reason we see that on the broker 1 user is logged into a server.

However when i log in on the server directly there are  30 users logged and then then server become unstable.

Every morning this is happening now and it is not every time the same server.

we set the server with  too many connections to false and then restart the broker and then try to log of the users and dismount there profile disk so they can log in on a different server.

What we also see is the proces termsvc is 98%!!

Does someone know what is causing this issue we did not do any changes to the server and it worked always perfectly.

We have approximately 328 users devided over 21 rds server ( this is included the remote server.

Is there a possibility to change this background to another color?

Hello,I am having problems to diagnose is poor application performance—the applications are running very slow. After following this link: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/remote/remote-desktop-services/rds-rdsh-performance-counters#download-windows-server-insider-software.

Could not find an option to enable this.

How would I enable User Input Delay per Process or User Input Delay per Session on windows 2016 server?

Or this there anything similar that i could use if this is not compatible with windows 2016

Issue with user profiles

$

I have a Windows server 2012 running as a terminal server for about 10 users. Each morning for the last few days we have been having issues with user profiles not loading. At least one user has a temp profile when login in first thing in the morning. So far rebooting the server fixes and all is well for the rest of the day. So far each morning its a different user and it has happened to two users at the same time.

Just wondering what could cause this and where would i start looking to see for the cause of this issue? I've taken a look at the event viewer but couldn't find anything obvious.

RemoteApp issues with mstsc.exe on Windows 10 1903, 1809, 1803, 1709

$

Our RDS environment is running in Azure on Server 2016 managed by our MSP.

We are having client-side issues with RemoteApps where one or more windows in our RemoteApp session will cease to refresh the window contents or to accept keyboard input.  The endpoint's keyboard works fine.  

The applications are running just fine on the RDS as you can see if you shadow the user's session.  However, the user does not see their applications doing anything, so to them their applications have hung.  The user CAN open taskmgr.exe by using ctrl-alt-end sometimes to kill individual apps then relaunch them, but sometimes one or more windows does the same thing again.

A WORKAROUND is to roll back to Windows 10 1703's mstsc.exe and mstscax.dll, but that's not a solution... JUST A WORKAROUND.  As we know, old versions don't get patched for security updates & other bug fixes.

We need the attention of Microsoft engineers responsible for mstsc.exe and mstscax.dll to fix it to remove the issues introduced since 1703's release.

Please help!

How could I get the remote desktop and applcations(video & text) with the highest quality consistently?

$

My Server is Win 10 1909(10.0.18363.592) and my client is the same version.
When I use mstsc.exe to connect to the server and run a video player remotely, I found the video quality changed dynamically,
sometimes high quality, somethimes very low.
Sever and client are in a local network and the bandwith is 1G bps and very stable. 
My question is, how could I get the remote desktop and applcations(video & text) with the highest quality consistently? 
I need the quality keep stable and do not change dynamically.  
I have tried two Group Policy settings, the first is“Configure image quality for RemoteFX Adaptive Graphics", the second is
"Configure RemoteFX Adaptive Graphics", tested all options, but it doesn't work.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

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.

RemoteApp RDS2019 - splash screens stuck on client

$

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.

RDWeb - password change not working with cross forest trust - 2012r2

$

Hello Everyone,

I have a RDS implementation working with 2012r2 in a domain A.
Users from domain B (With an external two-way non-transitive trust with A) can access, log-in, use remoteapps, rds sessions, etc..

The problem is when I enable the RDWeb password reset feature. For example, taking 2 users with the "User must change password at next logon" option enabled:
If the user is from domain A, I get prompted to change the password and it works great.
If the user is from domain B, I get prompted to change the password, but after writing the new password it says that the user name or password is not valid.

Any clues?

I found this issue that I don't know if it's somehow related

RD Virtualization Host Configuration Failed : At least one of the required services is not running on the server

$
0
0

I have two nodes that I am trying to set up a virtual machine-based deployment with.

Node1 has RDCB, RDGW, RDWA, RDVH all installed properly, and seem to work as expected.

Node2 has only RDVH installed, and it is not working correctly.

From Node2, in Server Manager under Remote Desktop Services, I get the error:  

The server pool does not match the RD Connection Brokers that are in it. Errors:
1. Cannot connect to any of the specified RD Connection Broker servers. Ensure at least one server is available and that the Remote Desktop Management (rdms), RD Connection Broker (tssdis), or RemoteApp and Desktop Connection (tscpubrpc) services are running.

Node1 (which hosts the RDCB) is online, and all of the three services above are running on it.

I can ping Node1 from Node2 and vice versa.

Node2 is apart of the server pool on Node1 and vice versa. I even removed them and re-added them.

I followed threads suggesting to open the RDCms database in SQL Management Studio, bring it offline and then back online, but this makes no difference (probably because RDCms was not in a recovery or pending state in the first place for me).

Uninstalling RDVH and re-installing RDVH directly onto Node2 makes no difference.

Uninstalling RDVH and re-installing RDVH through "Add RD Virtualization Host Servers" under Deployment Overview on Node1 fails with this error in Event Viewer under Microsoft-Windows-Rdms-UI/Admin :

Event ID 4119

RD Virtualization Host Configuration Failed on <server-name> With Error: At least one of the required services is not running on the server <server-name>.

Searching this event ID pretty much only brings up results about firewall blockages. I have no firewall set up, and so this is not the issue. I found absolutely no results online about not having a required service.

On Node2, I have the following services installed and running:

- Remote Desktop Configuration

- Remote Desktop Services

- Remote Desktop Services UserMode Port Redirector

- Remote Desktop Virtualization Host Agent

What service am I missing? Is it Remote Desktop Management (rdms)? How do I go about installing it? And why was it not already installed?

Both these servers have just gone though fresh OS installations, are fully updated, and have identical OS specs. 

I have removed/installed/rebooted both servers countless times to try to get a proper RDVH installation on Node2.

It makes no sense as to why this wouldn't be working out of the box.

I have server 2019 standard and installed the RD licensing manager and my User CALs.  In License Manager  it shows my licensed CALs look fine.     I am getting a warning message about my Remote Desktop licensing mode is not configured.  It mentions using the RD connection broker server to specify the remote desktop mode.  I'm not sure what they mean by this?

Windows Server 2016 with Remote Desktop Services Role - how to manage memory allocation for users

$
0
0

Hi Everyone,

I was wondering if you know a way to manage memory allocation for users that connect to a Windows Server 2016 with the Remote Desktop Services role installed?

We currently have 512 GB of RAM and we have an average of 60 - 70 users connected daily on the server (only 1 instance). Users are reporting that the server is slow and I can see that only 80 - 90 GB or RAM is in use, everything else is on Cached memory.

Any ideas?

Thank you very much

Parallel RDP connection to terminal server and LSASS.exe crash

$

0

Dear all,

I am having serious problems while connecting using VPN to RDP to terminal server using smartcard. While I try to log in from one machine it works flawlessly (even it is quite slow). However, when I try to login concurrently from 2 machines using smartcard, I got an error saying that there is no smartcard present, or there are no authentication certificates. Once I get such error, the terminal server is restarted (WS2012R2, WS2016, WS2019 - tested on all versions). In the event log, there is an error lsass.exe crash with status code -1073740940. As this happens only sometimes, we cannot easily reproduce it, but the chance that the server will crash on Kerberos authentication is much higher when 2 clients are connecting concurrently.

Do you have any ideas where might be a problem?
