Manage Removable Medias Access Rights using user-oriented GPOs

October 14, 2014, 6:32 am

Hi,

I wish to manage the ability to mount, access, read, and read/write rights for removable medias (usb keys, usb hdd, etc...) to users using Microsoft Terminal Services 2008 R2.

I made a few tests using GPOs, unsuccessfully. It works perfectly on usual workstations (using Windows 7, no need for more regarding those stations), but when I'm trying to use the same GPOs and make them work on RDP sessions, gpresult gives me all I need, confirming that the GPO is being read and applied, but no effect. Starting from the fact I tick the button asking to mount the local removable media, my RDP session mounts my usb key automaticaly, without asking me anything. 

I precise I'm using casual user accounts without admin rights.

Thanks for answering, I'm kinda disapointed from now...

Remote Desktop Gateway - Access error gpscript.exe

Hi and thanks for reading.

I have a problem with TS gateway with 2008 R2 Service Pack 1. Its all setup on one server and works fine for internal clients (who use it as a terminal/remote app server without using the gateway).

For external users however when they login via RDP they get the following error:

Faulting application name: gpscript.exe, version: 6.1.7600.16385, time stamp: 0x4a5bc929
Faulting module name: EMClient64.dll, version: 9.60.1325.323, time stamp: 0x4ce70a6d
Exception code: 0xc0000005
Fault offset: 0x0000000000007159
Faulting process id: 0x1d84
Faulting application start time: 0x01cfe7add13c4b6f
Faulting application path: C:\Windows\system32\gpscript.exe
Faulting module path: C:\Windows\SysWOW64\wex4962\EMClient64.dll
Report Id: 120d75a0-53a1-11e4-9e33-005056a9335c

And they click ok to go to the desktop. The problem is more serious for the users that login to the remoteapp. For them it just comes up with that error box and then exits. This means the application does not load for them. It happens to all applications through RDGateway where the same applications work fine with the same user internally.

I did a search for the error but came up pretty much blank on why this is happening.

Could anyone point me in the right direction please?

Many thanks,

Brendan

Secure RD Web Access with Azure MFA

We are keen to deploy RD Web Access for external users but can't find any guidance on securing it with Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA - formerly PhoneFactor).

We currently use MFA with our RD Gateway for users who connect directly to VMs via RDP but want to give other users access to RemoteApps via RD Web Access with the same two factor authentication.

Cheers for now

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

April 7, 2014, 11:58 am

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.

RemoteFX Usb Redirection in Remote Desktop Session Host Blue Screen

We are using RDSH on a hyper-v virtual guest Server 2012. When two thin clients connect using USB Redirection with a USB scale attached, the host blue screens. The error below is from the Memory.DMP file. 

Duplicate PDO
A specific instance of a driver has enumerated multiple PDOs with
identical device id and unique ids.          

Any pointers on this error would be appreciated. I understand RemoteFX Usb Redirection is supported with VDI. I'm under the impression (perhaps incorrectly) that this set up should work with an RDSH server as well.

RDS 2012 Certificates help

Hi all,

I am currently implementing a RDS 2012 infrastructure.

  1. 1-2 RDS Host servers
  2. 1 server which contains the gateway and web access role (sits in the DMZ network)
  3. 1 licensing server

So I have 4 RDS servers in total.

I have a internal and a external domain so for example:

test.com (external domain - public facing)

internal.com (internal domain - lan users)

  • 1-2 RDS Host servers - INTERNAL
  • 1 Licensing server - INTERNAL
  • 1 Gateway and Web Acess server - PUBLIC

Would purchasing a public san certificate work for my enviroment and applying to all four servers?

If not, what would work?

Thanks

Note : This is the first time we are adding the CALs in existing cals server.

Kindly clarify my query below:

1. what is the procedure to add the CALS with existing CALs.?

2. while installing the new license do we need to deactivate the terminal server ?what will be the impact ?

3. whether we need to define the users per CALs ?

RDP Client Issue

Hi all

We have a strange issue with the Microsoft RDP Client - Every day at some point a user will contact us with this and its driving me insane.

What happens is - the User will click the RDP link on the desktop Enter their password and hit enter - what happens then is the program minimizes to the taskbar ,cannot be maximized and I have to kill the mstc process in Task manager and either log off , restart and or delete the registry key MSLICENSING

Its not happening with everyone but it happens on a daily basis  - Terminal Server is 2008 R2 and all clients are Window 7

The users have a shortcut on their desktop to resourses in another office using the format \\192.168.100.100\Server\Share\

I cant help feeling this issue is attached to this as , when one works the other doesnt and vice-versa  only a restart will get both working . If the remote desktop session is open , users clicking the Resouirses link get the circular "Working" Icon and the link never opens

There are no relating events either on the local client or the Terminal Server and it has me stumped

really appreciate some help or guidance of what to try

Thanks

I have an app that takes 3 sec to start on RDSH but 30 sec on Windows 7 client machine when click the shortcut (RemoteApp)

As first troubleshooting steps I did:

1. disabled A/V (no effect)

2. checked Event Viewer. An error related to Certificate appears every 8 hours

"Automatic certificate enrollment for local system failed to contact the active directory (0x8007054b). The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted. Enrollment will not be performed."

I am using trusted certificate and SSO is enabled. What is the next troubleshooting step?

Clear / Remove User Enabled RemoteApp 'Hot Key' Settings?

We seem to be having a somewhat *strange* user issue [Windows 7 Professional, SP1] with a RemoteApp application [RemoteApp 6.1]; when the user (and only this user) is in the application, presses the 'u' character on his keyboard (not CTRL-U, SHIFT-U, WINDOWS-U, or ALT-U) the 'Ease of Access Center' window pops up preventing the user from typing anything?

I'm guessing the user may have (likely by accident) held down the CTRL key (or some other key), initiating a user defined keyboard mapping?  Does this sound like a possibility?  More importantly, any suggestions on how to correct this issue?

Thanks for reading...

Server 2012R2 -- RDS Farm with XP and Windows Vista Clients

March 9, 2014, 6:00 pm

Hi There,

My team has been having some fun in getting our Server 2012R2 farm operational, annoyingly MS documentation is severely lacking on how to correctly configure a 2012R2 Farm correctly.

We have an RDG1-TCC server, which is the RDGateway, RDConnection Broker and RDWeb Server. We have two session host servers RDS1-TCC and RDS2-TCC.

It took us some time and much online research to figure out exactly how we needed to configure the RDS server as a lot of information online for 2012R2 was apparently incorrect(was based on 2008R2 practices). We started off with using a DNS Round Robin for the RDS Session hosts servers and after a number of certificate issues, we later found this was incorrect. We're now using RDWeb exclusively, which appears to be the correct way to have the Connection Broker working?

We've ran into a number of issues with certificates too, we have an external certificate for remote.domain.com. Installing this on all 4 options in the certificate manager has made internally work correctly via RDWeb, however externally we are getting a certificate mismatch as it's trying to connected to RDG1-TCC with a certificate for remote.domain.com. I'm pretty sure I can resolve this with a replacement remote.domain.com certificate that includes a SAN for *.domain.internal. Testing with a self signed certificate seemed to resolve this issue.

Now providing i've configured everything the correct way, we have an issue where RDWEb RDP files do not work internally or externally for XP, Vista or Windows 7 (With RDP7.1). Windows 8/8.1 and Windows 7 with RDP 8/8.1 updates work perfectly fine. Unfortunately this new client has a few XP machines that they are not willing to update just yet.

Is there a known fix/workaround to get these older clients working correctly?

Sorry for the extremely long post, but I'm sick of banging my head against the wall trying to get something that we assumed would have been fairly simple to get up and running.

Cheers,

Ben

I am new to the server world and am at a loss. I am looking to use my 4 virtual servers to run my application for approximately 300 users. I believe Session Broker Services will work based on my research. However, I did not see the service in the list of features on my server Windows 2008 R2. Do I need the Windows 2008 Enterprise version or am I missing something on my servers?? Also, do you know of any step-by-step instructions from beginning to end?

RDS 2008 R2 Session Host config in DNS

October 17, 2014, 7:26 am
$
0

I've got 3 session hosts and 1 GW/broker/all in one 2008 r2 RDS server farm.  Their only purpose is to allow clients to RDS into our environment. No virt desktops, no RemoteApp just sessions.  We do redirect several folders via GPO, but not full profile - so, I'm thinking we say we don't use roaming profiles.  The folders we do redirect SHOULD all land in a Users share on the GW server.  and, their user profile SHOULD disappear from the SH when they log off (fail).

My first question is regarding how I set these boxes up in my AD DNS.  Currently, I have the IP of the GW and SH servers in DNS all directed to our RDS address, call it RDS.company.com.  I have none of the servers added to DNS otherwise.  Is this correct?  All servers are in the AD Domain, just not in DNS.

Which leads to my 2nd question, RD Connection Broker Config.  If I want the RD Conn broker to be managing the connections, wouldn't I want ALL connection attempts to use the GW server?  As it is now, if I ping RDS.company.com I will get back one of the four IP's.  Doesn't that mean when a user opens an RDP session, types in RDS.company.com they will log into any one of the four IP's associated with that addy?

I'll probably have more ?'s later but my head hurts now.  Thanks for any guidance.

Why aren't my "File Types" accessible to all users? TS Win2k8R2

October 17, 2014, 1:21 pm
$

I am an Admin on a Windows 2008 R2 server, with Terminal Services installed.

I want to have particular file associations created / active, so that any user who attempts to open particular files on this server users certain applications. I opened Control Panel, went to Default Programs, carefully added or made sure the file types were associated as I wished. I clicked my test files and they indeed opened as I expected.

I logged out, logged in as a test admin user (who had never logged into this server, had no user profile), expecting that the SAME test files would open as I had specified as my Admin user. This did not happen. Indeed, I was asked to associate them again (I did not do it). I went to control panel, checked default programs / file type associations ... and NONE of my carefully created file types were there.

What am I doing wrong? I need to solve this (and another user-setting issue) ASAP.

Thanks for your time.
(and yes, I did search here first, I tried things suggested, but nothing has done it ... I have _NOT_ created a GPO file type setting, indeed, I am hoping I don't have to do that, because I have like 7 file types to configure, and that's a pain, and the domain Policy could over write this server's policy at any time)

Remote Desktop Services (RDS) Collections Dissapeared

My current Terminal server has a collection previously setup on it. Everything was functioning correctly. One day I went into server manager to publish a new remote app into the collection however the Collections option found under Remote Desktop Services is no longer listed.

Everything on the server is functioning correctly. There are no error logs in the system or application logs. All the end users can still connect via remoteapp and launch their previously published apps. However I can no longer add any additional apps due to not being able to see the collection.

When navigating to the overview, it just gives me a notification that the Remote Desktop Services Deployment does not exist in the server pool. I have looked everywhere to see if anyone had any assistance in this issue but so far I have not had any luck. One user just reverted the system image and another user gave hint that it was an issue with DNS which I have checked.

How to make IE Print Page Setup settings the same for all users? for Win2k8R2 TS

October 17, 2014, 1:46 pm
$

I want all users of a particular Windows 2008 R2 server, with Terminal Services, to have particular IE print settings.
(this server runs a certain applicaiton, and from within that, IE is called, and from those IE pages shown to users, they all should have the same print-settings, e.g., quarter-inch margins, no headers or footers or page numbers (because the application page itself has these things, in an app-specific way). Reminding users to turn off or adapt these settings confuses the users.

Is there a Group Policy item I can create (I can't find Print settings anywhere)?

Are there INS file settings I can use? And where to put the INS file, how to invoke it? Any special Group Policies to turn on / off to use such a file?

This is driving me nuts. Customizing user settings for a default user used to be easy, but now ... obscure at best.

Thanks for your time and help with this.

Windows Key "stuck"

Periodically, the RDP 6.0 client seems to think that the Windows key is being pressed (outside of the RDP, it is not; rebooting the host doesn't fix).  At least one other person has experienced this: MS Terminal Services blog.  As noted there, pressing the Windows key a few times fixes it for a while.  Anyone know of a real solution or if this is known by MS?

Thanks
