TS Easy Print won´t work on Server 2008 R2

$

Hi,
I have a lot of Trouble getting TS Easy Print to work. I use a Server 2008r2 and most of my Clients are Windows 7 x86 Clients with SP1.  Printer Setup on Server Shows me that it is redirected by Easy Print. Printing works as far but all documents are truncated on left side. Output as XPS document Looks fine on all tested XPS Viewer. Curiously, when I try a other XPS Viewer like Braval Reader, printing is okey! There must something wrong with the MS XPS Viewer or there used dll´s.  I check TsWpfWrp and it Show me that it is the latest Version (3.0.6920.1201). When I convert the XPS file to PDF I can print and layout Looks fine.

I don´t know what I could check... it is not a big deal to get this very nice Feature to work... but it should do the Job!

Hope I get here some helping Hands :)


Failed feature removal [RDWeb]

In attempt to repair my RDS Web server I tried to uninstall that component. When I did I, got an error 0x800F0922, and it did not uninstall. I am prevented from re-installing it because it is still on the computer.

The back story is I installed the Lync Webapps server, and a step in that process removed all pools and sites. I in one step lost all the webpages I had on the machine, most of the sites I knew which pool to add them back to and where to find the root folders. How ever I have no idea where/how the RDWeb services are located.  

Thanks

Can't full-screen RDP session window?

Hi, I'm using Win7 to RDP to an AWS WinServer2012 box. I need to view RDP session full screen. Checked RDP -> Display configuration, which is set to Full Screen. My machine's resolution is set to 1680x1050.

I checked the Screen Resolution on the server and see "The display settings can't be changed from a remote session." Also, resolution shows a greyed-out 1280x705, under which is a ! Your resolution is lower than 1024 x 768. Some items might not fit and apps might not open.

Any leads?

Thanks,

HI

I am new to RDS in server 2012 R2. I have installed RDs and was wondering how to create a self signed certificate. Once this has been created do I just save it to all computers that will connect to the server?

Thanks in advance

RemoteApp Disconnected - Server 2012 R2

$
0
0

I have a single 2012 R2 Standard server setup with all the RDS roles (RD Gateway, Broker, Session Host, Licensing, etc). I am able to publish apps and connect just fine only if the clients have the following setting: Local Policies > Security Options> Network security: LAN Manager authentication level - SEND NTLM response only. The default for windows clients is "Send LM & NTLM - use NTLMv2 sessions security if negotiated". In the past, I have just applied this setting to all the clients via GPO. However, this server will have primarily external users that are not a part of this domain. What setting(s) can I changed on the RDS server to prevent me from having to make any changes on the client's computers?


Remote Desktop Services Single SSL Cert with multiple hosts

$

0
I am trying to use a single SSL Cert from a third party issuer.  I have 3 servers in my deployement all are 2012R2.  One contains the RD Web Access role, RD Gateway role, RD Licensing role, and RD Connection Broker role.  The other 2 are RD Session Hosts.  I have the SSL cert for the server that has the Gateway and other roles.  My deployement is primarily focused on deploying RemoteApp to Windows 8 Thin clients with GPO through the default URL.  It works currently with the exception that the user gets a certificate mismatch error because it is seeing the cert for the gateway server but is connecting to the host servers so the names don't match.  Is anyone else using a similar setup and had success with it?  I am trying to avoid buying an expensive wildcard cert to cover all of them.

RDS 2012 R2 Shadowing privacy issue?!

$

My users are complaining about not being able to see, when I've closed "Shadowing".

When I start "Shadowing", users are visible alert and have to accept ... but when I close shadowing, the user can't see that I've closed it. - This is a major privacy issue.

Is it possible somehow to show the user, that I've closed the shadowing?

Thanks.


Broker sends wrong target IP-address

$
0
0

I have a RDS farm with the following configuration(if appropriate):

1 OpenVPN server
2 Domain controllers incl. DNS
1 Broker
2 Remote Desktop Servers / Session Hosts

The Session Hosts and Broker are connected in a front vlan(Customers) and a back(Admins) vlan. Depending on your OpenVPN certificate you will be connected to the fontor back vlan.

The problem occurs only when you are connected to the back vlan. If you connect to the IP of Session Host 1 and the broker doesen't redirect you to Session Host 2 it will work fine. But, when the Broker wants to redirect you to Session Host 2 I see the following event in de logs:

RD Connection Broker successfully processed the connection request for user %Username%. Redirection info:
Target Name = RDS-001
Target IP Address = <IP of Front vlan>, <IP of Back vlan> 
Target Netbios = RDS-001
Target FQDN = RDS-001.domain.com
Disconnected Session Found = 0x0

During this event de RDP will fail. In Proccess Monitor I see that my mstsc.exe first tries to connect to the back lan IP of Session Host 2 (as expected) then the Broker logs this event en after that my mstsc.exe will try to connect to the front lan IP-address of Session Host 1.

The behavior also occurs vice versa. So the problem is that when I am connected to the back vlan the broker sends me both the IP of the front and back but my RDP client only tries to connect to the wrong vlan.

Any suggestions?

RDS Farm certificate confusion

$
0
0

Can someone clear up for me what exactly is needed for certificates in a RDS 2012 R2 farm environment? Yes I've read posts and documentation, but I am still unclear on a few things:

Do the session hosts in a farm need their own public certificate even though everything is being passed through the connection broker?

I have

RDGW.internal.net (rdgw.external.com) - RDS gateway and RDS Web -- public certificate for rdgw.external.com
RDCB.internal.net - RDS connection broker, RDS Licensing -- public cert for rdcb.internal.net
RDSH1.internal.net - RDS host 1 -- certificate assigned from internal AD CA
RDSH2.internal.net - RDS host 2 -- certificate assigned from internal AD CA

The two public certs were installed through the session collection interface, and come up as trusted.

Trying to connect from outside, I get an error 0x607 from RDSH1.internal.net.

I am using free StartSSL certs to test. These aren't wildcard, and don't have Sub Alt names assigned. When everything is working, I'll request regular ones from our public CA. But I don't want to purchase one until I am sure what is needed and everything is working.

Eventviewer on RDS1 and RDCB not showing anything helpful.

RD Gateway with IIS Reverse Proxy

$
0
0

I am trying to setup RD Gateway / RD Web Access with a separate IIS server acting as a reverse proxy.  I have attempted this and currently I'm getting "502 - Web Server received an invalid response while acting as a gateway or proxy server". Let me provide more detail.  

I have successfully setup RD Gateway and RD Web Access on our internal network. I had generated an internal SSL cert from my CA and applied that fine to the RD Gateway/Connection Broker/RDSH, etc...  As far as the RD Gateway setup goes, I believe everything was working as it should.  Everything was working, but I wanted to have our public domain be the web URL for this site not the internal URL of the server. The only way to really do that is to setup another IIS instance, put that in the DMZ, and bind the third-party signed cert to the default website (I realize I could buy a security appliance such as the one Barracuda makes, but I'm not ready for that. Also, TMG is no longer available...so here I am with IIS/AAR and reverse proxy).  So initially, I set this up with both servers on the inside of my network and both were joined to the domain.  One was hosting the RD Gateway / RD Web Access, and the other server was simply just running IIS with a GoDaddy cert binded to the Default website (apps.mypublicdomain.net). On that server, I had to also install URL Rewrite and ARR (application request routing) extensions.  Once I did that, I was able to setup a server farm with the RD Gateway server listed as the one and only server. I then created a reverse proxy rule using URL rewrite to create a rule for proxying apps.mypublicdomain.net to the inside server name, ex. https://myinsideserverFQDN/RDWeb/Pages/.  Surprisingly this worked.  I was able to go to apps.mypublicdomain.net and boom it reverse proxied me to apps.mypublicdomain.net/RDWeb/Pages/...

Now my challenge was to remove the reverse proxy server from the domain and put it in the DMZ.  The goal here is the same, reverse proxy to the inside network and go to the RD Gateway server.  The RD Gateway server remains on the inside so that I don't have to open up so many ports from DMZ to Inside.  So I did this and now when I go to apps.mypublicdomain.net, I get the IIS server error:

502 - Web Server received an invalid response while acting as a gateway or proxy server.  

There is a problem with the page you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed. When the Web server (while acting as a gateway or proxy) contacted the upstream content server, it received an invalid response from the content server.

  • So I tried enabling Failed Request Tracing on both IIS servers and nothing comes up in the log folder. There is nothing I see in the application or system logs that would give any clues.
  • I tried recreating the URL Rewrite rules and that only seems to create other IIS errors, or the same one as 502.  
  • I tried removing the URL Rewrite rule altogether and then what happens is I get the default IIS logo if I go to https://apps.mypublicdomain.net.  So I know I'm still making it to the server, but just can't reverse proxy.
  • If I just go to the internal URL that RDGateway is hosted on, then it still comes up fine.  
  • I verified that the internally generated SSL cert is imported into the external reverse proxy server's certificate Trusted Certificate Authority folder.  
  • Currently all ports are open from this server in the DMZ to the open, until I can get this working again.  Then I'll be locking it down.  It should only require port 443 from IIS to IIS.  

So is this a problem with the reverse proxy server because I removed it from the domain? I've heard of other people using IIS ARR, in place of the old TMG, but I'm not seeing many answers to related questions.

Thanks,

Jon

Hi,

What do I need to do to allow more than two people to be able to connect to a server via RDP?

I am using Server 2012 and I need 4 clients to be able to RDP in.

The clients will only be accessing the Server from our internal network while they are onsite.

Do I have to setup Licensing and what other steps do I need to do?

Thanks

We are unable to view the Host drives of the Terminal Client through RDP We access.

But i tried with default paint and word pad through RDP web Access , can able to see the local host drives of the terminal client.

With windows server 2008 i don't have any issues with that .

Could any one please help with this issue?

Thanks,

cant connect to RDP session hos server with RDP Windows2012 R2

Hi,

i have problem with connecting to my two RDP Sessionhost Servers with rdp. the login problem is occuring randomly but more often on one host.

Environment, 2 session host servers, 1 broker server and 2 webbaccess servers. The webbaccess and broker server is loadbalanced with a kemp loadbalancing system.

Error when connectiong with Rdp

The connection cannot be completed because the remote computer that was reached is not the one you specified. This could be caused by an outdated entry in the DNS cache. Try using the IP address of the computer instead of the name. 

The only way to get around is to connect with /admin or with ipadress

i have found a kb with a solution to the problem for Windows 2008, but can´t find anything similarly for windows 2012R2

RDS:Prohibit Access to the Control Panel

$

0

Hello,

Is it true that prohibiting access to the Control Panel on RD Session Host Servers for a ONLY a targeted group of users via Group Policy actually disables the ability to install MSI packages for any user of the server including Administrators who are not subject to the GPO setting prohibiting this access?

If so, is there any way around this other than to disable this setting in the group policy object every time a new MSI application needs to be installed on RDS?

I haven't tested this, but I am working in a semi-production environment where playing around with installing software is a difficult thing to schedule time for.  I read this was the case in the Windows Server 2008 R2 RDS Resource Kit book, which appears to be an excellent source of information on RDS in general.

Many thanks!

Jon

Installing software on RDS

I have just installed a load of applications on the RDS server and then realised I didn't use the Change User /Install mode. 

The server is not yet active so no users are logged on. The question is, do I need to uninstall the applications and re-install them all in install mode? 

What does the install mode do?
