Windows 2003 - Terminal Server Licensing Question

March 28, 2020, 7:13 am

Hello All -

Sadly, I have a client (for reasons I wont bore you with) still using Windows 2003 Standard R2 with Terminal Server.  Since everyone has been working remotely, they have run into an issue.  There are no per device cals left.

From what I've read, revoking a Windows 2003 terminal server CAL is not an option in Windows 2003.    There are quite a few device cals which are being held up because the device is no longer in use, but the license is not close to expiring.

I am working with a Microsoft partner on adding licenses, but in the meantime I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions?

I was also curious what would happen if I deactivated the terminal server and reactivated it? Would all of the licenses become available and assigned as needed by devices actually in use?  Would I need the license keys to reactivate the server with the licenses already on the server?

Thanks in advance.

How can I force a fixed group of Users to connect alwais to a certain Session Host and another group of Users alwais to another certain Session Host ?

March 21, 2020, 2:18 am

In a Windows Server 2016 RDS Session-based desktop deployment, until now I have one only RD Session Host named RD01.

All RDS roles are managed by this server:
- RD Connection Broker
- RD Session Host
- RD Licensing
- RD Web Access

All User's data are stored in the C:\Users folder located in the RD01 (RD Session Host). It is not a share folder.

Now I need to move some Users on a new RD Session Host named RD02.

My goal is to have some Users that still connect with RDS client to RD01 and some Users that connect to the new RD02.
I can manually move the Users's data from RD01 to RD02 for the migrating Users.

My problem is that I can't understand how can I force a fixed group of Users to connect always to RD01 Session Host only and the rest of Users alwais to RD02 Session Host only.

The old RD01 and the new RD02 Session Hosts have their C:\Users folder, not a share.

Please can someone help me?

Thank you in advance,
Ivano C.

Hello everyone,

I am trying to figure out the easiest way to allow more than 2 RDP sessions at a time on my Windows 2016 Server Standard. I have tried using the google to help, but there are so many suggestions and 90% of them result in the original poster disappearing so I don't know the best way to accomplish this. I don't need anything extravagant setup, I just need more than 2 people to be able to rdp into the server at the same time.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Upgrading RD Services to 2019

I am getting the following error when I try to upgrade an RD Virtualization Host from 2016 to 2019.  this is from the Scanresults.xml

Id="RdsUpgCheck.dll_RdsUpgradeComplianceCheck"><CompatibilityInfo BlockingType="Hard"/><Message Text="You have the Remote Desktop Virtualization Host (RDVH) role installed on this server. After you upgrade, you won’t be able to add the RemoteFX 3D video adapter to virtual machines."/><Action Name="Dismiss"

Google does not return much on this error.  I am doing it this way because it will not allow us to add a 2019 RD Virtualiztion Host to our deployment and I can find to useful errors in the event logs. 

We are trying to upgrade our RD Services from 2012 R2  to 2019. Specifically we are migrating our of RD Virtualization hosts to new hardware on Windows 2019. We have already upgrade the RD Broker to 2019, the RD Web and Gateway are on 2016. 

The upgrade procedure was falling so I loaded Windows 2016 on the RD Virtualization hosts and was able to successfully add the host to our current RD Broker. I then thought I would in-place-upgrade the RD Virtualization host to 2019 but if fails the checks with the error above.

HELLO,

I AM CURRENTLY IN ISOLATION DUE TO COVID19 AFTER RETURNING FROM OS. I AM AT HOME, USING AN IMAC WITH A LOCAL CANON TR8560 AIRPRINT PRINTER. THE SERVER I AM CONNECTED TO AT MY OFFICE IS USING WINDOWS SERVER 2008. I AM UNABLE TO PRINT TO MY LOCAL PRINTER USING THIS CONNECTION. PREVIOUSLY THE OFFICE WAS USING A VMWARE HORIZON CLIENT TO ESTABLISH A VPN AND ALL PRINTER SERVICES WERE AVAILABLE AT THAT STAGE. WE HAVE MOVED TO USING MS REMOTE DESKTOP, AND UNFORTUNATELY THE PRINTER NO LONGER WORKS. ANY HELP WOULD BE MOST WELCOME.

User Profile Disks: Disk has the same disk identifiers as one or more disks connected to the system

Hello,

we have a Windows Server 2016 RDS session-based server with User Profile Disks enabled. If there is at least one user logged in, for every other user that connects to the server, a warning is added to the Event logs: "Disk <x> the same disk identifiers as one or more disks connected to the system". Aside from that, all seems to work fine, so should I be worried about these warnings?

RDS CALs won't Activate

I have Server 2016 Standard with 1 RDS CAL installed and all is working.

I am now having an issue when trying to add 3 additional RDS CALs
I have tried to activate by phone and internet and both are unsuccessful.
It says to check the event logs for more info, but I can’t find any error entries. The activation wizard returns this error code Message Number: 0x13a6 (tried to google without success)

I’m not sure if the issue is due to the CALs being issued for Server 2019 (my Microsoft Partner said they were backwards compatible).

WMF logo in header doesn't show up in Remote Desktop session

March 26, 2020, 9:27 am

We use WMF files for our logos in the header of our documents. These go back maybe 10 years.

I have a few users that, when they Remote into their office workstations (Dell Precisions, Windows 10 updated, 32GB RAM - decent specs) and they open a Word file (both .doc and .docx) they do not see the WMF logo. They say they can click it like it's there, but it doesn't display and they can't print it to PDF either (and it doesn't display in the print preview dialog either).

I as an admin have logged into their machine under my own account, and I can see the WMF logo in all documents.

I then had the user log into MY computer in the office (same spec and same general office image) and the user STILL cannot see the graphic.

We have compared Remote Desktop settings and they all match. We are using SonicWall's NetExtender for our VPN connection.

Can anyone think of why this might be happening? Could the WMF be tripping a security something or other on a user account and not on an admin account?

Should RDS NPS servers be in DMZ or LAN when you have an RODC?

Hi All,

We have a domain joined RDS gateway server in our DMZ using an RODC for LDAP/AD connections.  In this scenario, is it best to put an Azure MFA NPS server in the DMZ or LAN?  Currently we have it in the DMZ (working fine), as the network team have said the fewer open ports between the DMZ and LAN the better.

I'm just wondering if there's any reason to move it into the LAN?

Thanks!!

Updating Expired Passwords on Wyse 3040 ThinOS 8.6_206

We have a number of Wyse 3040's running ThinOS 8.6_206.

The users of these devices are reporting that once their password has expired, they are then not able to update the password without resorting to calling the helpdesk for help.

Researching this I found a number of threads that suggested disabling NLA.
Is this my only option? If at all possible I would rather not disable security features to enable this.

I also noted some references to using RD WebAccess to redirect to the password reset website. Though my understanding of this is that it would only work whilst connecting from a full OS with a proper web browser. Am I understanding this correctly?

I will certainly be trying to manage this from the user side as well... But at the same time would like a technical fix if at all possible.

Any insight into this would be greatly appreciated.

How can I force a RemoteApp file to request credentials when launched?

I have an .rdp file that I use to launch a remote app.  I entered credentials for one account and launched it.  Then closed it.  Now I need to launch it with a different account.  But when I dble-cick the file, it launches with the prior credentials and doesn't ask me for any.  How can I force it to ask me for credentials?  I went to Control Panel\User Accounts\Credential Manager and don't see an entry in there for my RemoteApp, so I can't delete them there.

Thoughts?

Azure screen on second monitor will not expand using HDMI - DVI cable

Hi all,

Because of the whole corona home office setup for two I have to connect a second monitor to my laptop with an HDMI to DVI cable (the second monitor only has the DVI portal). Now I'm experiencing problems when I want to expand the Azure remote desktop screen on to both monitors. It just will not detect the second screen... With 2 regular HDMI monitors there is no problem and Azure can be expanded on the two monitors. Somehow the HDMI - DVI cable disrupts this workflow.

Anyone here that has a solution to this problem?

Thanks!

I plan to install a server as remote desktop terminal for 5 users (instead of using 1 pc desktop for each user for their remote desktop terminal). I plan to buy HPE ML30G10 and Windows 2019 standard edition. What license do I need for 5 concurrent remote desktop connections? Can I configure the server as workgroup? I'm confused with the many Windows licensing schemes.

Hi All People,

I have deployed the new Windows Server Terminal Server across 5 of my data centre location to support remote workers.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/remote/remote-desktop-services/rds-deploy-infrastructure

The above is one of the server configurations that is deployed in my internal network and then access via the browser: 
https://RDSH-VM01.domain.com/RDWeb/
https://RDSH-VM02.domain.com/RDWeb/ 
...
up to https://RDSH-VM05.domain.com/RDWeb/

Can anyone please confirm if the above is secure and can be deployed since there is no Best practice documentation to follow?

If not what is the suggested ways to deploy to allow secure remote users to login while minimizing the cost and server deployment?
Thank you in advance.

I have three offices, all members of the same domain. Each office has a Remote Desktop Gateway setup and operating.  I can see connections starting and stopping from all three locations RD Gateway Manager.  However, when I test my connection from an outside IP address through the different FQDN gateways, although I am able to connect I am not seeing my session appear in all of the RD Gateway Managers.  I would like to have a complete accounting of all connections through each RD Gateway Manager.  What am I missing?

Thanks,

Remote Desktop Gateway Manager Console stuck on Expanding and errors our.

Hello,  

I am not sure if this is the right place for it.   But I have set up a Remote Desktop Gateway server and have ran into an issue with it.   Everything is working, and I do see clients connecting to it. However, when the numer of connection exceeds a certain amount, I seem to have lost access to the Remote Desktop Gateway Manager console where it's just stuck loading.

I have also tried the Get-WMIObject command and that too gets stuck.  I was wondering if anyone knew.  What I want to do is be able to monitor the amount of connections going through that specific Remote Desktop Gateway Server.

Thank you!

Hello,

We have purchased additional licenses for the use of the remote desktop. We have received RDS 2019 licenses while the server is in version 2012 R2.
When installing the licenses the license number is refused.
How can I increase the number of licenses?

Thank you for your answers
