One of my clients has a Remote Desktop Server running Windows Server 2012 R2. We use Outlook 2016 and the Mailboxes are on Office 365. When users search in Outlook on the server, the results are incomplete. If they search in Outlook on their desktops, it will search everything and return good results.
Thanks for the help!

I applied the June 2020 cumulative update to Windows Server 2016 (KB4561616). After successfully installing it, I tried to connect to the server to check everything is fine and ready, but the connection drops at "Estimating connection quality" and gives me an error saying "this computer can't connect to the remote computer". If I click OK to the error box, the same message appears again once more, for some reason.
I tried connecting from different devices, and check my network connection and I still get the error.
Right after discovering the issue and doing troubleshooting, I had to uninstall the update and everything is fine once again.
The system is a Windows Server 2016 virtual machine with simple remote desktop installation in which both licensing server and session host are installed on the same system.
Have anyone experienced this issue when connecting to a Remote Desktop Services host after applying the KB4561616 update?
Hello,
I use Remote Desktop Connection manager v2.7. when RDP to WIN2016 servers, the credential cannot be inhered from parent level. However, when I connecting to WIN2012R2 servers, it works fine. Don't know the issue is caused by Remote Desktop Connection Manager or the configurations of WIN2016 servers? Thanks!
We just moved servers offsite to a hosted service after a near disaster with onsite equipment. We have a VPN connection to the hosting service that allow printing directly to our IP printers across our sites and direct access from desktops to shared files and our DB2 server.
This has resulted in unacceptable latency with some applications, so we have migrated almost everyone to a 2016 RD server also at the hosting service. This has greatly improved performance as well as removed the task of deploying several applications to 50+ computers. These are full desktops, not remote apps, since we have too many apps to deploy them all as remote apps.
However, we have a site license for a particular accounting package that we do not want everyone to be able to use. Sometimes users just get too curious. We used to limit access to it by installing it only it on accountants' workstations. But in the RD environment, I need to install it on the server in a way that only specific users can run it.
My inclination is to create an AD group, then limit security for the program's EXE in its Program Files folder to include only the usual system admin accounts and the one AD group that needs the app.
Is this a good approach? The only approach? What about setting rights at the Program Files\ThisProgramFolder level instead of just the EXE?
Other/better ideas are welcome as are any pitfalls to avoid. After 20+ years of managing systems and 17 for this particular client, this is a first for me/us.
We are using RDS Server 2012 R2, with Brokers seating on DMZ Zone. Those two servers have not access to the Internet
How can I give them access, but still be secured. We are under a sonicwall firewall:

We have RDS Licensing Server for 2008, 2012 and 2016 respectively installed with PER USER CAL Licenses. In our environement we have hosted many RDS Session host servers which uses these licensing servers for PER USER CAL Licenses. Users connect to these RDS Session hosts servers (Acts as Jump Servers) with 10/20 concurrent limited connections.
Now I want to generate the Remote Desktop Host Servers list which contacts the License Server. But I am able to gernerate the report from the Licensing Server which shows only the "CAL Usage Report" with only the user names.
Appreciate if anyone can help me quickly.
Hello,
I can't get RDS users to connect using the RD Gateway. Users connect as username@domainname.net and thecomputer name specified in the client RDS connection is computername.domainname.net VM is Server 2016 with connection broker, gateway, session host, and web access roles. Domain SSL cert is bound to port 443.
When I check monitoring in the RD Gateway Manager there are no active connections.
Any help is always appreciated.
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

QUESTION:
Network Admin
Since the last cumulative Update one of our Customers have the Problem when the Server reboots all installed Ports get removed or disappears.
I installed kb4567513 to check if the Problem is solved the Problem didn´t solve.
in HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Printers is the right Port for the Printer saved but in Print Management the Ports are not listed anymore.
If i want to edit the Printer, i cannot re-add the Port because it says Port already exists. When i re-add the Port before i edit the Printer no Error popup shown.
I dont know if the Problems only in Local Ports or generally.
I hope you can help us
P.S: Server is a Windows Server 2019 Standard
I purchased a 5 CAL License Pack directly from Microsoft. I am running Win Server 2012 R2. I added the RDP Role and License Manager. When I attempt to add licenses, I get a Message Box that says: "The license code is not recognized. Ensure that you have entered the correct license code."
I've searched everywhere for a solution. Anyone have any ideas?
Thank you.
I am a bit new to the secured RDS environments, and am working on configuring one to give it a try. I'm having an issue when trying to do a full remote desktop session from the web access, it states it is unable to reach the Remote Desktop Gateway server.
I have installed proper trusted and valid SSL certificates to RDS and IIS, and am able to login via web access without issue or certificate errors.
Configuration:
Server 1 | Name: AD1 | Services Active Directory, DNS, and RDS Licensing
Server 2 | Name: RDP1 | Services: RDS Gateway, Connection Broker, Session Host, Web Access
Port 443 is opened Internet -> RDP1
Port 80 is opened Internet -> RDP1
Firewall is directional, and all other ports in and out are denied.
Internally it does function properly. I have two test machines on the inside running Windows 10 (not members of the domain - stand alone), and both were able to connect after downloading the full desktop from web access. Below is a redacted image of the actual RDS configuration. Any pointers are GREATLY appreciated.
Hi,
We have an issue with Windows Server 2012R2, and NPS logging to SQL server if TLS1.0 and 1.1 are disabled.
The following is logged in the event logs: NPS: ID: 4404 NPS cannot log accounting information in the primary data store (SQL\Inst). Error Information 0x80040e5d
I have found a discussions on https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/dc06683d-c24c-482b-b76b-0563e8a4c768/nps-network-policy-server-sql-logging-failed-if-tls-10-is-disabled?forum=winserver8gen This mentions this is resolved with KB4537806. But this patch is only for 2016 serer.
Is it possible to get NPS to log to SQL server in 2012R2 with TLS 1.0 and 1.1 disabled?
Many Thanks

Hello,
I accidentally configured Single Sign On in our RDS infra. is there any possibility/Option to remove the Single Sign On.
A few of our users receive the following error when attempting to establish a remote desktop session. "Your computer can't connect to the remote computer because a security package error occurred in the transport layer." For most users, connections are not a problem. The environment is as follows:
Remote Desktop Session Host - Windows Server 2008 R2
Remote Desktop Gateway - Windows Server 2012 R2 (SSL certificate has been installed and chain verified)
Client computer that cannot connect - supports RDP 8.1.
The users that cannot connect are behind a firewall at a customer facility. The do not have trouble connecting to normal secured web sites through port 443. I'm having trouble trying to determine if I have not configured something correctly on the gateway or if the customer has blocked traffic in some way that does not allow RDP. Since the transport should be HTTP (instead of RPC over HTTP), I don't think this should be a problem.
Any help in pointing me in the right direction would be appreciated.
RDS 2012
Remote app server 2012 - approx. 20 clients - get these errors in event viewer repeatedly. Some users report they must restart PC after returning from being away in order for remote app to allow them to reconnect.
How could I get rid of these event viewer errors?

We are experiencing a problem where all the details for the RDS Collections are missing.
When I open Remote Desktop Services > Overview the servers all show, RD Web, Gateway, Broker etc. But under Collections everything is empty, none of the collections are showing.
RDS is working. We can logon to the desktops. But we cannot manage the collections or add new ones.
Done a ton of googling but nothing that seems to be appropriate.
There are 2 errors that keep coming up on the server.
1306
Remote Desktop Connection Broker Client failed to redirect the user SMART-MAIL\Administrator.
Error: NULL

Need some help.
