Microsoft VDI 2012 | Connection to clients are denied

I have a problem using RDS on Windows Server 2012, I have completed the product several times, but this time I have installed it in a very complex environment, anyway after I completed the first installation and configuration, I tried to log on through the RDWeb using a domain user and I got the following error:

“The connection was denied because the user account is not authorized
for remote login.”

I checked the event viewer and found this

RD Connection Broker failed to process the connection request for user <Domain>\<user>.
Failed to find Resource Plugin OR an end point for the user.
Error: Access is denied.           

I tried adding the user to the remote desktop users of the VMs, the Connection Broker and also the Host, but it didn't solve it. I also added it to the Administrators of the previous machines but with no luck. Eventually I added it to the Domain Admins and also failed.

Tried with more than one user but failed everytime. Can someone please help me solve this issue?

Failed to ReCreate Some Virtual Desktops in VDI Pool

February 18, 2013, 3:06 pm

I am running Server 2012 Datacenter.  I have a VDI pool with 10 desktops.  For the sake of simplicity, we'll say they are named Desktop-0 through Desktop-9.  Whenever I need to modify the template, I use the "Recreate All Virtual Desktops" task.  Usually, this works fine, but I need to know what to do when it gets interrupted.  Because, for instance, Windows Server Backup will interrupt it, and certain other tasks can interrupt it as well.  Today's attempt to do the recreate left two desktops missed because users were logged into them and they didn't get logged out before something else caused an interruption.  I can still view the task status details, but they go away every time Windows Server Backup runs (I am using Windows Server Backup temporarily until I can get System Center configured).  The task details currently look like this:

8/10 virtual desktops were successfully recreated.

2 virtual desktops failed.

Desktop-0 Complete
Desktop-1 Complete
Desktop-2 Complete
Desktop-3 Complete
Desktop-4 Failed: Failed to lock VM
Desktop-5 Complete
Desktop-6 Complete
Desktop-7 Failed: The operation has been cancelled.
Desktop-8 Complete
Desktop-9 Complete

Is there anything I can do to get those desktops to recreate?  I didn't have any luck trying to get any of the PowerShell commands I found to do individual desktops this way, and the GUI doesn't appear to have a way to do that.  I haven't tried running the "Recreate All Virtual Desktops" task again because I won't be able to have all users log out before it is interrupted at this time.  While it wouldn't be ideal, should that work?  Additionally, in the meantime, will the two failed desktops continue to function on the old version of the template?

How to get remote desktop to adust screen size when changing from one screen size to another (e.g. undocking laptop)

Hello,

can I get the remote desktop window to automatically resize itself, when I undock my laptop and I go from a large screen to a smaller screen. Right now, I find myself closing down Remote and re-opening, so it will re-open and adjust itsself to the screensize of the screen I'm using. I'm hoping there is a way I don't have to close and re-open Remote.

I've already set my "remote desktop size" to "full screen" in the "display" section.

Thanks a lot.

Deploying Managed Pool Breaks Adobe Reader 11

I am trying to set up managed pools for VDI in RDS.  I have RDS installed and functional on a Windows Server 2012 Datacenter machine, and I have successfully created Windows 7 template machines and deployed pools from them.  I have even managed to make changes to the pools with the recreate functions.  I have done most of this without finding great documentation.  That having been said, I am having an issue that I'm not sure how to deal with thatadequate documentation probably wouldn't help with.  I have installed Adobe Reader 11 on a virtual desktop template and created a pool from it.  When I connect to that pool and try to launch Adobe Reader, I get an error that says only: "An internal error occurred."  Adobe Reader does not launch.  I assumed this was a problem with the installation or something sysprep did, so I booted up the template and went through the OOBE.  Once booted, I could launch Adobe Reader with no problem.  IOW, this issue only exists when I deploy a managed pool, but not on the base image the managed pool was deployed from.  Note that I would prefer to keep everything on the VDI image and not mess with RDSH or App-V.  Does anyone have any suggestion on how to deal with this?

User names blank in task mgr - Win2k8 R2

Up until about 2 weeks ago, I could see which processes were running under which user account on my W2K8 R2 terminal servers. I can still see all processes running, but only my id and system IDs show up in the user name field. All other user names are blank Is there a gpo setting that I can verify? All of my servers changed at the same time.

I've seen posts about similar problems in Windows 7, and the solution was to turn on terminal services. Of course, the remote desktop service is on in the servers.

Thanks.

How to connect to someone’s disconnected session without providing credentials?

February 21, 2013, 4:59 pm

Hello,

We have an AD DS domain with Windows Server 2008 R2 virtual machines. We access virtual servers in the domain through RDC, from our local machines. Currently we have a local account with administrative rights on each server. We share credentials of the admin accounts. So all team members log in with the same user name - administrator. That way it’s easy for us to login to a disconnected session and continue someone’s work. Now I have got a requirement to make everyone to login with him/her own credentials. I need to figure out  how to configure the system to allow a user to connect to someone’s else disconnected session, WITHOUT providing the password. So we need to login securely to remote machines, but disregard the security, taking over disconnected sessions.

Questions:

Is that possible to connect to someone’s disconnected session without appearing a popup window asking for the password?

If yes, how to do that?

I have researched on remote desktop settings, user accounts and group polices without any results so far. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance,

Julia

Server 2012 RDS - User Profile Disks - Errors during Logoff

December 19, 2012, 8:01 am

I have set up a test Server 2012 RDS collection (Single Server for now) and implemented User Profile disks.

I have two problems.

First: My generic test user can connect and does successfully use the user profile disk as expected. However, atlogoff, the system event log contains these errors:


The error (NTFS 137) is: The default transaction resource manager on volume C:\Users\ts3.test encountered a non-retryable error and could not start.  The data contains the error code.

The warning (NTFS 50) that concerns me is:

It appears that the user profile disk is being "disabled" or "disconnected" before the profile data is completely written at logoff. What can I do to troubleshoot this?

Second:

Update: A post from Mike Connor on the following page: -LINK- solved the problem described below. 

My administrative user always logs on now with a temporary profile. At the beginning, the UPD was working and mounting. That stopped working. In attempting to troubleshoot, I logged the admin user off and deleted the UPD disk file from the share. I remember it working again after generating a new UPD disk file in the share. Soon, it quit working again. I deleted the UPD disk file again from the share and ever since, it has never regenerated a new UPD andalways logs on with a temporary profile.

How do I change the URL to the Remote Web Access server in Windows Server 2012?

Hallo!

I have set up a Remote Dexktop Service using the "Quick" deployment method in Server Manager and everything is working greate internally, but I cannot start an app published in Remote Web Access from outside our network.

The problem is that it wants to start the using the internal URL, for example, server.domain.local, instead of the external one, for example remote.server.com.

I therefore want to know how I can change the default URL for the Remote Web Access server and all the Remote Web Apps in Windows Server 2012?

I have allready looked in Server Manager and I can change some of the deployment settings in server manager, but there is no way to alter the URL of the Remote Web Access server. See below images:

Edit deployment step 1

Edit deployment step 2 try to change the url

Pressing the internal URL only results in opening the internal URL.

This was very simple to do in Windows Server 2008 R2 using the tsconfig tool, but it does not seam to be any way of solving this in server manager.

A possible sollution would be to alter the registry someware in HKLM->Software->Microsoft->Windows NT->Terminal Services. But this can easaly lead to problems due to wrong format, etc. and is probably not supported.

Is there a simpler and supported way?

Hi,

Using windows server 2012, how do i change the hostname that the users connect to when using eg a published remoteapp? It defaults to the sever fqdn, eg, rdsh.corp.example.com, which isn't really available from the outside. I want it to connect directly to rdsh.example.com.

This was possible to set in windows 2008 r2 Remoteapp Manager. under "RD SEssion Host Server" and "Connection Settings".

Where is this setting in 2012?

TS Web & RD Web RDP connection problem

February 18, 2013, 1:52 pm

Summary:

  • Problem using Remote Apps & RDP from "RDWeb" interface when accessed from the public internet.

Background:

  • Currently have, 1 x Windows Server 2008 TS Web Access & 1 x Windows Server 2008 R2 RD Web Access setup.
  • Both are configured to use remote apps inc RDP.
  • Both allow login to the web interfaces (Prompts for login when connection to URL).
  • Both allow RDP connections internally and work correctly without problems.
  • Both have Digicert SSLs installed, tested as valid.
  • These are standalone installations and not in a Farm.

Issue:

TSWeb (Server 2008) works correctly and allows RDP connection to itself from the "Remote Apps"

RDWeb (Server 2008 R2) does not and the RDP connection errors:

"Your computer can't connect to the remote computer because the Remote Desktop Gateway server is temporarily unavailable. Try reconnecting later or contact your network administrator for assistance"

I am trying to connection to the RDWeb server externally from a Windows 7 PC (RDP 6.2.9200). If I click the "Remote Desktop" selection on the TS Web Interface, I can also RDP to other Windows Server 2003 terminal servers, however any other Server 2008 R2 servers to not work.

Questions:

  1. Is there something being missed in the configuration?
  2. Are there any fundimental differences between Server 2008 TS Web and Server 2008 R2 RDWeb? (Security etc?)
  3. Would someone also be able to clarify the need to open port 3389 on the firewall, my understanding was that RDP (3389) should be wrapped in the HTTPS (443) traffic therefore only 443 would need to be opened. Unfortunately we have had to allow 3389 on the firewall for RDP connections to function from the outside work and get TSWeb working correctly. I presume I have misconfiguration reading this post: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winserverTS/thread/d5906eb8-9a08-42b0-bdd8-356383401554

Quick install of RDP fails on Windows 2012 with 'unable to create the session collection'

Hi All

I have a new HP server setup running Hyper-V. In this I have a virtual SBS 2011 server and I'm now adding a Windows 2012 Standard server to use as a Terminal Server. I've joined it to the domain and have gone to add the role, choosing quick install on single server using session based install. It gets mid way through whereby it stops and says:

Unable to create the session collection.

If I repeat the process I'm unable to select the session option. I have had this same error when testing RDP a few months ago so not sure where the issue lies? would the SBS2011 have any impact - the whole install should be on the win2012 server??

I'm getting lost as to how this quick/simple install is stopping??

does anyone have any words of wisdom?

thanks

Windows 2012 Server - RDS Licenses not being Issued

Hello Everyone,

I spent a lot of time trying to find a resolution to this issue and could use some help.

My Environment:  I setup a 2012 Domain controller (DC01) and a 2012 RDS server (TS01).  The domain controller has the RD Licensing Manager and RD Licensing Diagnoser installed.  The TS01 server has all the other RDS roles installed.

I Installed the licenses on DC01 and they show 0 Available and 5 issues even though nobody has logged into the server

I also pointed the TS01 server to the license server (DC01) but I get this error when adding it:The license server specified is not valid.  Verify the server name and specify a valid server name before saving the settings.

When I run the RD License Diagnoser from either server, I get the below error.  Does anyone know what I'm missing?  Is the 2012 server really looking for 2008 RDS CALs???  I didn't think that was possible.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Remote Desktop Session Host Server is in Per User licensing mode and No Redirector Mode, but the license server dc01 does not any installed licenses with the following attributes:

Proiduct Version: Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2

Licensing mode: Per User

License type: RDS CALs

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I think we have 2 weeks left on our grace period.

Thanks in advance!

First, let me thank everyone for your help up front.  I am trying to configure a Personal Virtual Desktop Collection.  I have the following setup:

1. Windows 2008 Active Directory.  DCDIAG and NETDIAG are clean.
2. RDS Web Access machine
3. RDS Connection Broker machine
4. RDS Virtualization Hyper-v Host configured in a 2 node cluster.
5. RDS Session Host machine
6. RDS Licensing Host.
7.  Syspreped Windows 8 VM.

I am trying to Create Virtual Desktop Collections.  When I get to the "Specify the virtual desktop template screen and I select the virtual machine I receive the super helpful error:  Could not retrieve the virtual desktop template details for win8template template.

I don't see anything in the event logs on either the connection broker nor the Hyper-v/ RD Virtualization Host.  I have done extensive searches on Google and have found little to nothing.  What I did find, was in Japanese.  I translated the site and it mentioned the memory was below 1024.  I set the memory of the vm to 4GB and I still have the same issue.  All of my disks are .VHD's as well.  PLEASE HELP!!

RDP update stops me using Remote Gateway apps

November 20, 2012, 4:50 am

Hi,

Clients running Win 7 SP1 have received an automatic Windows update (KB2592687) which prevents them from using Remote apps on our 2008 r2 Gateway server. The server has been working well previously for over two years. After this update, clients can be authenticated and then view the remote desktop, but then when they try to use an application, authentication fails.

Win 7 without SP1 client is OK, XP and Vista clients are OK. Uninstalling KB2592687 brings the RDP Client version of 6.2.9200 back down to 6.1.7601 and allows the client to use the gateway function as normal.

Is there anything I can do on the server to fix this besides removing this update on all the clients? The server is fully up to date with Windows updates.

I note that there's another thread on this issue:

http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winserverTS/thread/7fb6e2b7-04c9-4db8-8614-351a2cd1f693

which suggests ignoring client certificates will help. In my case, that option was already selected, and so made no difference.

There was a message about certificate corruption in event viewer, after the server updates had been applied. I thought this was the issue, so rebuilt the license database, but that made no difference to the problem.

Regards,

Steve

WTSVirtualChannelOpen fails on Windows Server 2012, identical code works fine on Windows Server 2008 etc.

We try to open two Virtual Channels with the same name on a Windows Server 2012 with two WTSVirtualChannelOpen(WTS_CURRENT_SERVER, WTS_CURRENT_SESSION, "name") calls from within a single process.

While the first call succeeds, the second call always hangs for 10 seconds and returns NULL. Afterwards called GetLastError returns 0x80004005 (unspecified error).

This problem only happens on Server 2012, the same code works without problems on Server 2003 and 2008, using the same client.

Firewall is disabled (personal and domain).

•Did anything change between Server 2008 and Server 2012 that would cause such an "unspecified error"?
•Is there any way to get more detailed information on the cause of the error (e.g. activate logging on WTS... functionality)?
Any answers are appreciated ...

I'm having a strange issue with Remote desktop after a server is rebooted. I get an error:

Terminal Server listener stack was down. The relevant status code Error: 0xd00000a3.

If I restart the Terminal Services services then it works fine. I have been researching this problem and have not been able to determine the root cause. The servers are DELL systems with Broadcom network cards which are known to have issues but making the TCP offload changes makes no difference and RDP always works after the service is restarted.

RemoteApp File Associations not Working

$

We have an application that, when published on TS08 as an .MSI packaged RemoteApp, does not do File Association like it's supposed to (even tho that box was checked when we made the MSI)...

It's a Clien-Server app; Client interface, looks for Databases on the back end; and it "requires" a T: drive mapping to the server containing the databases...

The icon on the desktop runs fine; but the PRODUCT of the App ("Jobs" let's call them) that have that icon's Extension (ES9) that you might also have on the desktop have that Windows icon that indicates it doesn't know how to open...

And when you double-click that Job icon (which, through File Association, should launch the App), you get an error saying something like, "...This is not a valid Win32 application"....

One more thing:  While we were trying to fix this -- playing around with settings and so forth -- we somehow "broke" File Association on generic Apps (packages) like Word and Excel!!

Any ideas?
