According to ms docs, windows 2016 server multiuser session has 3 ClientProtocolType:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/wtsapi32/ne-wtsapi32-wts_info_class
0 The console session.
1 This value is retained for legacy purposes.
2 The RDP protocol.
But our remote desktop software requires a custom protocol run on multiuser sessions. Is there any dll or plugin mechanism in windows 2016 server to replace RDP with another user defined protocol?
Hi there
I am having a problem whereby a USB webcam works fine on my local machine but when i connect to my RDS 2016 it doesn't pick up the webcam. I have enabled it through the Remote desktop Connection applet and I have enabled RemoteFX through GPO but the Camera still doesn't get picked up.
Can you suggest what else i can do?
Kind regards
George
I have a 2012 RDS setup working nicely.
i have 50 per user CALS in the licence server, i have separate servers for all the functions of the RDS, the License server is in the correct domain groups, (terminal server licensing group etc)
it was issuing licences perfectly fine up to 27th of April, the count was up to 38, so 12 spare.
but RDS is working fine and i have added more users to the system since, I can see in the log that its issuing cals fine up to yesterday, 12th of may. yet nothing has changed in the licensing manager !!??? it still shows 27th april as the last issued CAL with no new ones since then.
rebooted the server, and even run a report. so i am confused as to whats going on.
Does anyone have any clues whats going on.
Cheers
Mark
I trying to explain my setup, i have a fully functioning and working internal RDWEB with published apps, all permissions are working totally fine. (version 2012R2).
Apps only appear when permissions are given etc. call this Domain A
during this current situation with Covid-19 , we want to share the apps to another domain (call it Domain B), which is currently trusted (oneway) we trust the accounts from Domain B.
So we enabled RDWEB in the firewall, and now a few of us who are testing RDS works ok in Domain B, can see all applications that are published even ones i have taken myself off, if i check on our domain A i don't see the apps, but going to rdweb on domain B i see all the apps and can even access them !! its interesting when browsing to RDWEB from domain B it doesn't ask for credentials etc.
in IIS on the rdweb server Windows authentication is enabled. i don't understand how it can be displaying all the applications and allowing me to access them (when i click excel for example it does ask for my login and opens excel fine but i have removed my self from the app permissions. i am a domain admin on domain A if this has anything to do with it.
any ideas or suggestions would be gratefully received.
many thanks

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.
We have an RDS server (WIndows Server 2019) with published applications. When launching the app the connection rdp file contains the actual server name and we would like to have that changed to the server dns fqdn name. How do I change that name on the RDS server so the rdp file reflects the DNS name and not the server name.
Thanks,
Rene
Hi guys,
Is there an easy way to migrate local user profiles on an remote desktop server to user profile disks? I am replacing a Server 2008 R2 and want to start using UPD's instead on a Server 2012 R2.

Hi,
Hi have 7 users who want to connect to my 2016 server with TSE simultaneously.
I have just configured Remote Desktop Session Host & Remote Desktop Licensingin workgroup.
I followed this link : https://www.aventistech.com/deploy-windows-2019-rds-in-workgroup-without-ad/
There is trial licences :
But when I launch the RD Licensing Diagnoser, it doesn't works :
Thank you.
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?
Regards,
We have a WS2016 running RDS.
Everyone that has access can open the web page and sign in through the https://...../RDWeb site.
Once in, ALL USERS not in an AD administrative group can then click on an icon, sign in to the second prompt and use the apps.
If I, or any admin, tries to click on an icon on the webpage, it prompts us to sign in, then it gives us an error with the three reasons you need to check for.
All admins can RDP into the same server running RDS, but none of us can go through the web page to do it.
I found something online saying to change the local GP, which we did, but that didn't work either (and yes, I forced the GP to update on the server).
Any thoughts would be helpful.
Thanks beforehand, because this is a tad annoying that no one in IT can use the services, but all regular users can.

Hi,
A site i now managed which has a 2012 r2 server which is the terminal server and a 2016 Server which is the licensing server as well as an sbs 2011 server which is the DC has a small problem. Users inside the lan can rdp fine, but external users get this error - a A Licensing error occurred while the client was attempting to connect (licensing timed out).
Any idea's?

Hi,
I deliberately let my SSL certificate expire because I got a new wildcard one. The new certificate is installed in Certificates - Local Computer / Personal / Certificates. "certlm" reports certificate is "OK". It's been there for a while.
Today, my clients started getting certificate warnings.
I found this "quick fix" link:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3042780/remote-desktop-listener-certificate-configurations-in-windows-server-2
The "quick fix" does not work .. I assume I cannot select it because it's not a "pfx" file but the page doesn't mention this is a requirement. It implies I just need the certificate, which is a .crt file. How do I make it into as "pfx??"
I also tried the manual fix with this "wmic" command but got a Invalid Parameter command which the page says can happen if the certificate is not installed, but IT IS INSTALLED!!!
What undocumented (thanks Microsoft) aspect of this am I missing?
Thanks,
Jeff
Hello,
currently we want to use Microsoft Teams on Windows Server 2016 RDSH and try to use webcam (integrated camera) redirection from local clients.
On client side (Windows 10 1903) i checked the webcam in the local devices and ressources.
On server side i set the following gpos:
- Allow audio and video playback redirection: Enabled
- Allow audio recording redirection: Enabled
- Do not allow supported Plug and Play device redirection: Disabled
- Do not allow video capture redirection: Disabled
Also we activated the redirection in the session collection. I noticed that here is no setting equal to the video capture redirection existing.
The integrated webcam is not being redirected to the server. Unfortunately we have not usb camera to test it with usb redirection.
Is ist possible to get our planned scenario working or is it not possible to redirect the camera into the remote connection? I read that it should be possible with server 2019, but i cannot find any information about server 2016.
I thank you in advance for your answers and ideas.
Kinde regard

We have issues after deploying the Windows server 2019 not able to connect back to the disconnected session, and every time its connecting with a fresh session which s causing increasing the disconnected sessions count.
Tried to update the OS which the all the latest updates but still have the same issue. Have tried to applied the solution as given by MS on one of the article but didn't help.
To work around this issue, you can enable the Configure keep-alive connection interval policy in the Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Connections group policy folder. If you enable this policy, you must enter a keep-alive interval. The keep-alive interval determines how often, in minutes, the server checks the session state.
This issue can also be fixed by reconfiguring your authentication and configuration settings. You can reconfigure these settings at either the server level or by using group policy objects (GPOs). Here's how to reconfigure your settings: Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Security group policy folder.
Hello!
I have been struggling with downloading pulished Remote App's from RD Web from external network for couple of days. I'm kind of stuck and our customer is behind my nack... :)
Here follows description of environment and description how to reproduce error:
Environment:
1. 4 servers each with own RDS Role (Connection Broker, Web Acces, Gateway and RD SH) installed on Windows server Datacenter 2019
2. All servers have internal nework IP's and are joined to domain
3. In front off RDS there is WAP in DMZ (Public IP nats to WAP servers which are pointing to RD Gateway and Web Access server)
4. ADFS authentication integreted and works fine.
Everything works fine from internal network. (Including download of Remote App published files via Chrome, Firefox,...)
From external network I am able to run RDP without problem. I am able to autenticate to RD Web. But, when I try to download published app from RD Web via Chrome or Firefox or Edge download process i kind of stuck on 7.15 KB. After some time I suppouse some timeout I get error "Unsuccessfull - Network error".
I did some debug'ing through different browsers and it seems to me that Remote App download is stuck on dialog box / pop up which never appears. It is hidden somewhere. Somehow.
Just to mention that everything works fine from external network when using IE. Our customer refuses to use IE and I have to find the fix... :|
Any help or suggestion on how to resolve this problem would be appreciated.
Thank you very much in advance.

Hey!
I hope you all are doing well.
Actually I was observing this issue for quite a long time. I use excel a lot and every time when I cut
or copy something, the feedback is same. Its always same and confusing and I just have to confirm whether I'm using the cut command or copy command.
Kindly fix this issue. When we use cut command, the text should just turn lite or something like that as it happens at other places. In excel, if you cut or copy something, the software feedback is just same.
Thanks
