VirtualChannelWrite hang mstsc.exe

$
0
0

I have developed client and server dlls for exchange data with virtual channel.

The dlls use static virtual channel api.

When on server side there are windows server 2003 - 2008 and on client side windows xp, 7, 8 all work fine.

When on server side there is windows server 2012 r2 and on client side windows xp again work fine.

The problem is when on server side there is windows server 2012 r2 and on client side windows  7 or 8.

In this configuration transfer file from server to client work, but when I try to send data from clien to server the client rdp (mstsc.exe) hang, not responding,the onlything that left todo is kill it from task manager.

Debugging client code I saw that the client hang when I write data in the channel (gpEntryPoints->pVirtualChannelWrite).

Any idea?

Thanks, Claudio


RemoteApp and Desktop Connections Error 0x800401F0 when updating RemoteApp connections from RDS webfeed

$
0

Environment:

Windows Server 2012 R2 with RDS roles installed.

Windows 8 clients

Issue:

The RDS Webfeed doesn't updated automatically. Instead, I get an error:

"An error occurred while updating this connection. Error code: 0x800401f0, 0x0"

I can perform a manual update in the control panel, but the users who will be using this on a regular basis are blocked from the control panel by a GPO.  Also, I don't want end users to have to perform this update manually anyway.

I've included a screenshot of the issue for reference.

RDP8+, "Your computer can't connect to the remote computer because an error occurred"

Ok, I have racked my brain trying to figure this out and I'm out of ideas.

Issue - Random Windows 7 PC that has updated to RDP 8.0 gets this error when they try to connect to a server we have set up for them through a gateway.  Only happens when the computer is updated to RDP8.  Downgrading to RDP7.1 fixes the issue and they can connect just fine.

The issue only affect a very small number of computers.  Most Windows 7 computers with RDP 8.0 can connect just fine.  But right now, I am working with a client that has their own computers and domain (I have no control over) that are affected by this issue.  This is not the only client I have run into with this issue as well. 

This problem is essentially what is described here - http://www.examiner.com/article/fixing-an-error-occurred-on-the-remote-computer-with-remote-desktop-connection  Except I would really like to know if there is a fix other than uninstalling RDP 8.

No disconnect warning when multiple remote users use same username and password to logon to VM

$

0

I created a single user account to be used by multiple users to access a system consisting of multiple VMs. The problem is that when User #1 has an active session and User #2 attempts to log onto the same VM User #1's session is ended without warning. Now if User #1 has an active session and User #2 attempts to log onto the same VM using different credentials a [Remote Desktop Connection] dialog displays alerting User #1 that User #2 wants to connect and gives an option to disconnect or stay connected. Realizing that the latter preferred behavior is because the two Users are using different credentials I would like to know if the same preferred behavior of alerting the Users of active connections can be enabled for instances when both Users are using the same credentials - perhaps by recognizing that their remote ips are different or something.

2012 R2 License server will not upgrade 2003 licenses to permanent

$

0

We migrated our Remote desktop licensing from server 2012 to server 2012 R2. We have 2003, 2008, and 2012 licenses installed. The migration was smooth with no issues. I usedhttps://activate.microsoft.com as I have before. 

The new license server has been up and running for a few weeks and all seems good. The License server is issuing temporary licenses for all OS'es (server 2003, 2008, and 2012).

When I go into the licensing console, I see that the 2008 and 2012 licenses are being upgraded to permanent and this is verified in the event viewer by Event ID 82 ( The "Temporary"  Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2 : TS or RDS Per Device CAL belonging to computer "XX-XXXXX" has been upgraded to "Permanent" Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2 : TS or RDS Per Device CAL.)

However, the Server 2003 licenses are not being upgraded to permanent status, the event viewer shows no errors and the users are not reporting any issues.

Has anyone else seen this issue and know why the licenses are not being upgraded or know how to correct it?

Basic theme corrupt, black boxes in apps when connected

Hi....

On one of our Windows 2012 Remote Desktop Host servers we have the following problem.

--Not working example:

THE PROBLEM

-- Working example:

WORKING

---

So black boxes all over the place. When I troubleshooted this as admin I found that switching the theme to "Windows" under Windows standard theme  made the black boxes go away. But switching to the "Windows Basic" them makes them appear again.

So:

-- How do I fix the basic theme? As this is the theme regular users uses and they have no option of changing theme. RemoteApp technology is used.

-- Or possibly, as I think it works fine with the "Windows" theme, how do I apply this to all users logging in to the server?

Also, I have tried to find a solution on this on the forum, the internet and be general troubleshooting. No errors in the event log in Windows......

Looking forward to hear from you. Thank you in advance.

Remote Desktop Gateway domain mismatch

$

Hi,

Apologies if this has been asked a number of times but I am trying to find a definitive answer before I make any mass changes.

I'm trying to get RemoteApp and Remote Desktop Services Gateway working but we have a different internal domain name to our external domain. I have an ssl certificate for apps.domain.com although our internal domain is for example domain.local. When I try to connect using the apps.domain.com certificate, I get no errors anywhere from what I can see and no connections in Remote Desktop Manager so I assume it's not doing anything. My question really is am I best to rename the domain to a domain that is resolvable on the internet as our current internal domain name does not belong to us and purchase a SSL cert/wildcard cert for this domain? I've read a few posts suggesting that matching internal and external is a bad idea but wanted some clarification on this.

Many thanks in advance

Regards

Chris

  

   

Shortcuts to \\TSCLIENT do not work in File Open Dialog

Things I have tried:

1. Created a shortcut to \\TSCLIENT.  Moved the .lnk file into the %usersprofile%\Links

2. Created a shortcut to \|TSCLIENT, Moved shortcut into a folder called Local Files, Created a Shortcut to Local Files, moved the .lnk into %usersprofile%\Links

3. Created a folder named Files, Created a NTFS symbolic link named Your Files mapped to \\TSCLIENT, created a shortcut to Files and moved the .lnk into the %usersprofile%\Links location.

4. Created a Library added the Your Files Symbolic Link.

Note: 3 & 4 work with some programs but not others even though they use the same .NET file open dialog box.

5. Created a GPO with Places this works with the older file open dialogs post 2000 but not the new ones 2008 R2.

Any ideas please how I can create a persistent shortcut that can be used to access the UNC path \\TSCLIENT remotely?

Microsoft VDI Pooled Workgroup VMs

I'm trying to create pooled workgroup VMs. That means that the VMs that the VDI pool creates wouldn't be domain joined. Is this possible?

Also, does anyone have any working syspreped Windows 7 SP1 answer file? Every time I try, I get an error "vdi unable to retrieve the details of the virtual desktop collection". I have removed the top line shown below as some threads mentioned but I still get the error. I've tried this using the GUI, would doing it through powershell make a difference?

Outlook search fields are grayed out in RDS Farm

$

Hello All,

I have an RDS Farm 2008 Which I "Publish" outlook 2013 to my clients.

Everything Works just fine except one thing:

The Common Properties in the Search Field of Outlook 2013 are grayed out ( Screenshot is attached ).

I have 3 Servers in the RDS farm and it works only when the user is logged on to server number 1.All the search fields are available.

When the user logs off and reconnect to server number 3 - it does not work and the search fields are grayed out.

Here are some more details:

1. Roaming profile is being used.

2. Cache mode is disabled by policy (GPO ) - so no OST files are exist neither allowed.

3. I have already tried to delete the user profile but no luck.

4. Same version and features Of Office 2013 are installedon all the servers.

5. Windows Search Featureis installedon all the servers.

6. No accees to Drive C is Allowed - by policy ( No access to the servers C Drives  )

7. Bassically, all of my Servers are identical (or maybe not ??? )

My guess will be something with the search indexing and all that but I could not figured it out...

Please advice.

Thanks in advance.

Remote App closes when opening a dialog box...

$

Hello,

I've been having a recurring issue with a remote app. It involves a dialog box and a number of frustrating hours trying to solve the problem. Which brings me here. The problem is as follows: 

The user is in their remote application and needs to either save a file or open a file. When the open/save dialog box appears the remote app is closed, there are no error messages so I can't say that it crashed.

If the same user is connected through rdp, executes the application in an rdp session, and tries to open/save something the dialog box appears and everyone is happy. 

This really is only limited to remote app and it occurs quite frequently though not every session. 

Any advice?

2) Started these services: Future Discovery Resource Publication, SSDP Discovery, UPnP Device Host

3) Enabled 'Network Discovery' on appropriate profile

4) Enabled 'Allow connections from computers running ....' in 'Remote Settings' on my computer

But still no luck for me. I urgently need to get this to work and will greatly appreciate if someone can point anything I might be missing.

RDP stopped listening on port 3389

HI everyone,

I've recently updated a HP Proliant server with the latest service pack from HP (SPPMDSLWIN2014020.2014_0129.3)

Upon reboot, I noticed I could no longer RDP to the server.

I can ping the server, but I note when I do a netstat -a -o port 339 is not listening.

As has always been the case, the firewall service is started but is turned off for domain, home and public so need need to add 3389 as an allowed port.

Changing the RDP-Tcp port number to 3390 and restarting RDP made no difference.

SFC /scannow found no issues.

How can I force RDP to again listen on 3389?

RDS Certificate Mismatches When deploying RDS to a “.local” Domain and publishing RDS externally

$

0

Hi All,

I know many people have asked the question and one way or the other they have resolved their problem. I am currently in process of deploying RD, all on one server.

I am having certificate mismatch issue e.g. my internal domain is .local and published is .net so when users connect they get a certificate mismatch warning prompt but after clicking ok to the message they can access the resource fine. 

To resolve the issue of certificate mismatch i came across this website http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/Change-published-FQDN-for-2a029b80 used the powershell cmdlet and now after login via the RDWeb if I try to access a remote app i get this error 

Internal external domain

In AD DNS I have created a new zone for the external domain e.g. gateway.example.net and an A record pointing to the internal IP of RD Connection Broker server. Worth to mention RD Licensing server is installed on a DC. 

Is there anything else I can try to resolve my problem 

Many Thanks 

RDS on Windows Server 2012

I am attempting to setup an RDS configuration on 5 servers (2 RD Connection Brokers, 2 RD Session Hosts and 1 RD Web Access) with Published Apps. I have been reading articles on this but am still confused as to the correct process to set this up. So my question is this. Does anyone know of any article outlining what the proper steps are to setting this up on dedicated servers for each role? All I have found so far are articles outlining how to set this up all on 1 server. I'm not sure if the steps are exactly the same for doing g this on a farm of servers.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Len
