I am setting up a new Windows server that will act as an RDP server. The server has been built with Windows Server 2012R2.
I have the following roles and services working on the server: RD Web Access, RD Gateway, RD Licencing (with 30 user cal licences), the RD Connection broker, and the RD session host.
I have a SSL certificate configured and installed on the site, and both external and internal DNS are configured and working.
I have created and published an application collection and this is working. That is, when you go to https://remote.<servername>.org you are presented with a log in screen, users can log in with their domain accounts and then can connect to the published
applications, this is working both on our internal network and from the general internet.
So all the roles on the server are working and the collection itself is also working. However, what I cannot do is set it up so that we can use user profile disks with that collection. When I go through the Session Collection Wizard and I get to "User
Profile Disks" I can click on "Enable user profile disks" and then you can enter the options below.
I am entering the share location under location \\<servername>\<sharename>
I am using the default "store all user settings and data on the user profile disk"
Then I go to create the profile disks and I get the following error:
"Could not create the template VHD. Error Message: -2147024809
This has happened multiple times, I have done the following:
- installed all windows updates and rebooted the server, same error
- checked the share permissions AND the folder permission for that share, for testing purposes I have set permissions on both the folder and the share to allow full control to "everyone" (I also tried it with only "domain users") but
same error message.
- I have checked to see that no quotas are imposed on the disk where I am attempting to create the profile disks - this was because this was the closest thing I could find on Technet was this post:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/ru-RU/aec30527-d742-42b9-950e-85c709c4cb45/vdi-problem-creating-user-profile-disks?forum=winserverhyperv
And that was a quota issue that I am not having.
The UPD wizard says the following "the servers in the collection must have full control permission on the user profile disk share and the current user must be a member of the local Administrators group on that server"
Both of those things are true.
I have attempted to search for that specific error message (-2147024809) and have found nothing on Technet or any other site.
I am hoping someone here has some thoughts. Thanks in advance.
