W8.1 > RDS 2k12R2 - COM Ports redirection not working

$
0
0

I have a workstation trying to map the COM ports to the RD session which is hosted on a Hyper-V 2012 R2 as virtual machine (GEN2). No matter what I do, the port doesn´t appear in the device manager. Group policy is configured to always allow COM/LPT ports redirection. The server and workstation is temporarily connected on the same network. COM port on the workstation is not emulated in any way. On the workstation the COM port is labeled as COM9, initially tried with the COM1. No errors in the event log.

Any ideas what´s wrong?


Public Domain Name & Rdweb not Resolving.

$

Good day All

Server Setup (server hosted externally)

1x    Hyper V Host (static)
1x    VM    DC - DNS/(integrated with AD) (static)
1x    VM    RDS - Domain Joined (with all roles for a RDS server) (static)
--------------
mydomain.com (registered public domain name)
DNS name servers of hosting provider :     dns1, dns2 & dns3

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

I am having difficulty in  configuring my public domain name (first time registering a public domain name, had to implement SSL) to resolve to remote.mydomain.com so that users can access Remoteapps externally via Rdweb . I am able to successfully access remote apps internally on RDS & DC servers via  Rdweb with certificates successfully configured but I am not getting anything right externally.

I am 99% sure that this is a DNS issue between my server and the hosting provider.  What should my DNS settings be on my internal server (DC) and what configurations should I make/request regarding the hosting provider?

Do I have to setup my own nameservers and ask the hosting provider to update the name servers for the domain at the registrar in their root? Or can I not make use of their DNS servers (dns1,dns2&dns3) to handle the DNS service for the domain? My attempts so far to resolve the matter has just confused me  and I am not sure any more as to the details of setting this up.

Any feedback and instructions much appreciated...

Dear Team,

I have a problem in one of my Windows 2003 Standard Edition Server. This is a citrix server but not in production(no users are logging into server except 1 or 2 server admins). With in two days registry will be full due to many entry's under HKEY_USERS. If we restart the "User Profile Hive Cleanup" service and try to unload the hive all the entries will clear and from eventvwr we can see that its all for old users (Means only SID we can in in UPHClean event). We have tried to restart the server but after restart everything is ok. but after two days agin the data will be more in Hkey_users folder in registry.  Can somebody help me this.

How old data is loading in registry?

Thank you very much in Advance.

Hello,

Can you please tell me what would be the reasons for which the RDS self signed certificate thumbprint will change, other that changing the hostname, IP, or joining a machine to a domain?

Do you have a list with all the modifications on the OS that will affect the RDS self signed certificate?

OS: Windows Server 2008

Strange Audit Failure error in Security Log on one of Remote Desktop Gateway server

$

Hello!

We have RDS 2012 deployment with 2 RD Gateways + GD Web Access, 2 RD Connections Brokers in HA and some RD Session Hosts and everything seem to working fine.

But on one RD GW server we have a very strange Audit Failure error in Security Log:

An account failed to log on.

Subject:

Security ID: NULL SID

Account Name: -

Account Domain: -

Logon ID: 0x0

Logon Type: 3

Account For Which Logon Failed:

Security ID: NULL SID

Account Name: ServerName$

Account Domain: DomainName

Failure Information:

Failure Reason: An Error occured during Logon.

Status: 0xC000006D

Sub Status: 0x0

Process Information:

Caller Process ID: 0x0

Caller Process Name: -

Network Information:

Workstation Name: ServerName

Source Network Address: 10.1.1.10

Source Port: 59357

Detailed Authentication Information:

Logon Process:

Authentication Package: NTLM

Transited Services: -

Package Name (NTLM only): -

Key Length: 0

This event is generated when a logon request fails. It is generated on the computer where access was attempted.

The Subject fields indicate the account on the local system which requested the logon. This is most commonly a service such as the Server service, or a local process such as Winlogon.exe or Services.exe.

The Logon Type field indicates the kind of logon that was requested. The most common types are 2 (interactive) and 3 (network).

The Process Information fields indicate which account and process on the system requested the logon.

The Network Information fields indicate where a remote logon request originated. Workstation name is not always available and may be left blank in some cases.

The authentication information fields provide detailed information about this specific logon request.

- Transited services indicate which intermediate services have participated in this logon request.

- Package name indicates which sub-protocol was used among the NTLM protocols.

- Key length indicates the length of the generated session key. This will be 0 if no session key was requested.

where ServerName - Name of problem GW server. So it is connect to itselfthrough network and get error during Logon.

There is no that errors on the other RDGW server, so it think it is very strange.

With Sysinternals TCPView I saw, that connection on that port make a System Process PID 0 with RDS remote name like rds.company.com both in local and remote address.

Any help about that problem?

Server 2012 RDS Certificate Mismatch through RDWeb

$
0
0

I have a 2012 RDS environment with 4 servers. 

Server1: RDWeb, Gateway, Broker

Server2/3/4: Session hosts

I have everything configured properly, and a godaddy SSL cert installed for all roles in the RDS deployment properties. 

I am having a certificate Name Mismatch when connecting to RDS desktop through RDWeb. The external web url is rds.domain.com and the internal domain is domain.corp. I have used the script created by TP here:

https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/Change-published-FQDN-for-2a029b80

to change the published name but still having the cert prompts pop up. I also tried running this script:

http://ryanmangansitblog.com/2014/05/20/rds-2012-rdsh-certificate-deployment-script/

on the 3 session hosts and gateway server, but I am still getting the certificate prompt shown in screenshot. 

This prompt comes up after I log in to RDWeb and click on the RDP icon. I can click yes and the session is opened. I would like to get rid of these prompts. Please note, I do not get the prompts when using RDP client, only through RDweb. 

My settings in rdp client are to use the gateway server of rds.domain.com and computer name of rds. I have round robin for rds pointing to the three session host servers.

RemoteApp application minimizes/disappears when switching tabs on Windows Server 2012 R2

$

We are using an application with RemoteApp. 
We had no issues with Windows Server 2008R2. 
Installing the very same application on a Server 2012 R2 Standard, weird things started happening. 

The application (C++) has tabs in it, to switch between opened modules. 
All of a sudden when changing tabs, the application minimizes, and disappears completely from the start menu/taskbar (sorry, I'm a bit uncertain of the English terminology). The icon is gone.
If you click again, anywhere, the icon and application pops up again. 

However, if you right click, to switch tabs. The application does not minimize/disappear. Everything seems to be working then... On an interesting note, I imagine I see a slight difference when right clicking. As if the window takes longer to load. But we are talking hundredths here.

It is solid in the 2008R2 RemoteApp, no issues at all. 

So naturally I tried to find some differences between 2008 and 2012 RemoteApp. 

I found some changes. I disabled "Use advanced RemoteFX graphics for RemoteApp"through gpedit. Issue remains.

I also found some changes regarding FairShare. I disabled this on CPU/Disk/Network level. Issue remains. 

Do you have any idea what might be causing this odd behavior? 



Trying to connect to RDS - Sometimes takes 3 attempts for the connection to establish

I have RDS 2012 set up ( only 1 server configuration ) and when I and my clients attempt to connect to RDS using the remote desktop feed, sometimes it works on the first try and sometimes it works on the 3rd connection attempt.

When it doesn't work, I get the error :

"Remote Desktop can't connect to the remote PC for one of these reasons:

1)Your user account is not authorized to access the RD Gateway.

2)Your PC is not authorized to access the RD Gateway.

This error just seems like a generic error because I am authorized and it does work sometimes.

Any idea why this is happening? Let me know if I need to provide more info.

Thank you!

Patrick.

RDP to RDCManv2.7

Hi All,

Can you please let me know if there is a way to convert from RDP connections to RDCMan v 2.7 connections and add to RDCMan connections. Were able to add servers using the text file (with Server name and IP addresses)...after the when we tried to add the server group...got error "RDCMan doesnt allow mixing of servers and groups. In order to add a group to this file you must first remove the servers"

Is there a way we can automate the process of adding those server groups and servers at the same time...and also to add those servers without removing those servers. Pls let me know...

Printing Preferences on Redirected Printers. Launched RemoteApp Server 2012

$

Hello All,

I've got a weird issue I was hoping somebody could help me out with. I've setup a RDS environment with server 2012 and have a launched remoteapp for our users. I am having their printer redirected during the session. We have a couple of users that have to print from tray 3 on our Xerox. They can easily select all the settings they need but when printing it will not keep those settings and always print from tray 1 (default). What I'm finding is that if these users have that Xerox as their default printer on their local machine, while in the remoteapp session any printing preference they make wont stick when printing. Now on their local PC if I change their default printer to something else and they get back into the launched remoteapp and select their printing preferences it keeps the preferences just fine for the print job. All users are using the latest rdc 6.3.9600 and i'm not using the easy print driver from RDS settings.

Thanks!



Is it possible to store RDS User Profile Disks on a NAS?

$
0

Hi,

I want to store my RDS 2012 R2 User Profile Disks share on a high-performance NAS appliance, not on a Windows Server.

When I attempt to create the share either through the UI or PowerShell it tells me:

Could not create the template VHD. Error Message: The network location \\fs8600nas\RDS_VDI_Profiles is not available..

It works fine when I point to a Windows Server instead of the NAS, so I assume it is attempting to talk to management services on the Windows Server in order to generate the template VHD. Is there a way around this?

I have tried pre-populating the template VHD to no avail.

Does anyone know if it is possible to manually setup the share, or otherwise get it work on a NAS?

Thanks,
Simon.

2012 R2 RDS Environment with a 2008 R2 CA?

$

Hello,

I am trying to get a 2012 R2 RDS environment up and running.  A lot of the instructions I found describe having a 2012 certificate authority in the environment as well but all I have is a 2008 R2.  I followed the instructions that I found on a few websites like this one this one and this one but using my 2008 R2 CA so I know some of the options were wrong.  When I went back to my first connection broker and tried to obtain a cert, I got the message "the request certificate template is not support by this CA."  Do I need to have a 2012 CA?  Or is there something that I am missing to get off the ground with a 2008 R2 CA?

Thank you in advance.

Remote Desktop Connection Broker and User Profile Disk not working good.

$

Hi;

I am setting up a new Windows 2012 R2 Remote Desktop Connection Broker with two Session Hosts and using DNS Round Robin and User Profile Disk in my configuration.  However; the user is always getting the temporary user profile even though I saw the user profile created on User profile disk, I enter the UNC path of user profile disk in my Collection, such as \\fileserver01\sharedisk.

The .bak temp user profile registry key always shows in the session host server registry.  Also, if I use my laptop's remote desktop connection client access to the session host 1 (192.168.1.101), it will redirect me to the session host 2 which is (192.168.1.102). In DNS server, I have configured the round robin pointing to my Collection Name "vdesktop" which is 192.168.1.100.

My user is using Thin Client, what is the proper configuration for Remote Desktop Connection Broker to fix the temporary user profile issue?
