Hi!
I've installed a Remote Desktop Gateway on Windows Server 2016, it worked perfectly last week. Today some users are having issues trying to connect to their workstations through RDG, but when they try to connect rdp directly (connected to the VPN) it works, and then became available and starts to work trough RDG again.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
We have Remote Desktop published through Web Application Proxy, both running on Server 2012 R2.
The RDS application in WAP is configured for pass-through authentication so users can connect from both Windows and non-Windows ("rich apps" on Android/iOS/Mac) devices. This has been working for the past few years without issue.
After installing recent update KB4534309 (or the rollup that contains it, KB4534297), the non-Windows clients are unable to connect. They show error 0x3000008 during the "initiating remote connection" phase:
We couldn't connect to the gateway because of an error. If this keeps happening, ask your admin or tech support for help.
Has anyone experienced this or figured out a way to fix it?
About two weeks ago, the UWP, iOS, Mac OS and Android versions of Microsoft Remote Desktop Manager all stopped working for our RDS environment externally; previously, users were able to use this application externally and internally without fault. If the users access our RDWeb/Pages/en-US/default.aspx and use classic MSTSC to open RemoteApps then this works externally.
When plumbing in the correct feed details to the apps we get (iOS, Mac OS) 'no workspace is associated with this URL site'.
We are using Windows Server Datacenter 2016 across the board with 2 servers acting as Gateways, Licensing, Broker and Web Access with a further 6 acting as session hosts. All have been updated including the most recent crypto hotfix (approximately when the whole thing stopped working).
The route external users take would be:
External DNS entry - ADFSWAP - Gateway - Broker - Session Host
The following error can be found in the logs on our gateway servers:

Anyone got any ideas? The above has had some data annonymised for security.
Hi all,
I get the following error when trying to activate an RDS Licensing server.
The specifications...
The error...
I can't find any event logs that correspond to this error message popping up? The only thing I can think is wrong here is the proxy config and or I am missing additional URLs required for successful RDS licensing loading / activation tasks?
P.S> I am also correct in believing I can have many RDS licensing servers in many networks so long as I do not exceed my enterprise agreement RDS user CAL limit as assigned to my agreement?
E.G. when you activate an RDS License server it asks you how many CALS do you want to load into the server...
Thanks in advance...

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.

I have a lab of 30+ physical Windows 10 desktops and have made them available for my users to RD into. I only allow one RDP connection per desktop. I've managed to present a list
of the computers that are not in use, and users can pick a name from the list to type into their RD connection settings. Is there some way to create a single point of entry for these systems so that users can be connected to an open desktop automatically?
For example, if I have a Windows 2019 server with Remote Desktop Services, I would like my users to connect to this one server and have it automatically create the RDP session to one of those available
desktops. Is this something that Connection Broker can do?
Thanks.
Hi,
I have a small RDS farm with 4 servers. Server A, B, and C are all Session hosts and Server D hosts the gateway, broker, web access, and license server. Currently, users go to the /RDweb URL to access my collection but some users would like to use the local RDP client to access the collection. I have tried various methods to get this to work and none of them work so far.
https://nedimmehic.org/2018/03/04/remote-desktop-services-2016-session-host/
Is it possible to use the local RDP client to access a collection? I have configured my RDP client to access the public gateway. Any ideas? Thanks.
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!!
Hello,
I have 3 standalone licensing servers in my environment, no RDS deployment.
All three of them are Windows 2016.
On all of them, the Remote Desktop Licensing service keeps crashing since 2 weeks or so.
Here is what i get in the Application log:

I did check with sfc /scannow and Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth on all the servers, no issues found.
Also checked with Infosec team regarding any policy update on the antivirus and file audit, no changes there.
No windows patches have been installed in that time period as well.
What else can i check?
Thanks in advance!
*EDITED AS INITIAL INVESTIGATION WAS WRONG*
Windows Server 2016 standard - AD Environment - Clients are working from home
RemoteApps worked fine for a while; then we had to create a new certificate because it expired (used for RD connection Broker, RD Web Access, RD Gateway).
Certificate is installed on local machine, put into trusted root.
On some of my clients machines; the remoteapps will connect; but the app wont launch! (Then the client get disconnected after a few seconds.) They are machines were it worked great before the new certificate.
Here are some tests / investigation I did :
This has me racking my brain...
Thanks
(Sorry for original title who was wrong)

when we try to connect to any vm we get "Access denied " message even i am domain administrator ,
but after restart the VMs i can connect with no issues.
so please advice in this regards!
Good Afternoon:
I am having some difficulties with the Terminal Server Licensing Service in my environment. The problem is that the service crashes every time it starts. Sometimes it will run for a few minutes, sometimes a few seconds.
As I could not resolve this issue, I built a new server, activated it, installed my licensing and let it sit for a half hour. The service never crashed. I then pointed my RDS servers at this new server and things seemed to go well until a few hours ago. The service began crashing on this new server, too!
The License Server is a fully patched Server 2008 R2 box service ~ 150 RDS hosts. I can see that it's working while it's up -- lots of events in the Terminal Server Licensing Event log. But it just crashes with the error below in the Application Log.
I cannot find much information on this error, but the one promising thing I found was to grant Network Service access to C:\programdata\microsoft\crypto\RSA\MachineKeys. I did this, and restarted the service, and I'm still having problems.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

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.

I'm a pensioner, living alone, and currently confined to my home as an NHS patient 'at risk' during this corona virus pandemic.
To make matters worse I'm profoundly deaf and can't use telephones. My computer is my main contact with the world.
I had thought myself able to cope until I tried to place an order for grocery deliveries! I have been using this store for over 4 years without problem. The first order I placed after being put in isolation, I got the CMN3101E error at the last stage of paying with credit card. I have spent many hours checking with my bank and the grocery store but have not found the source nor solution to this problem. This week, the store agreed to take payment, manually, direct from my bank and the delivery was made. But they are also under pressure at this time of crisis, and I am in isolation for 12 weeks. I cannot expect special treatment all that time. I have tried cleaning my browser history, did not seem to work. I'm unhappy that problems seem to coincide with Microsoft updates! can some one help???
Hi,
our workstations with Windows 10 pro are in this weekend updated to version 1803. For main system we use RemoteAPP aplications on Windows server 2012R2 (Windows server 2012R2 is full updated). After update on client station are RemoteAPP slower, and right mouse button is unresponsive, or react verly long time...
It is a big problem for us.
PS: after replace mstsc.exe and mstscax.dll from older version Windows 10 is all OK. but this is not a solution.
Thanks.
