Hi,
I am looking to create a high availability RDWEB/Gateway in Server 2012 using two servers with both WEB and Gateway roles installed.
I have been looking at using an F5 Big-IP load balancer virtual appliance for performance but i have read that you cannot load balance both the web and gateway on the same load balancer. Can i keep both roles on the servers but use two load balancers or would I need to split the roles.
Alternatively would a MS NLB be more suitable ?
Best Regards,
There seems to be a lot of these Event ID: 1000 errors out there, the only thing that seems to be the same throughout is that the issue is an application faulting on a 64 bit system. In our case it is with an application dealing with printing on 3 Remote Desktop Hosts in a Load Balanced Remote Desktop Farm on Server 2008 R2 that we just recently deployed. Does anyone have any insight into what might be causing these Events or possibly even more specific to my situation with Tricerat Screwdrivers version 4.7.00.1. Not really sure what to do about this issue and it is causing a lot of issues for our customers.

Hi there,
we migrated a client off of SBS 2003 to Server 2012 Standard with Exchange 2012 Standard. Note Exchange is on the machine :).
We installed Remote Desktop Gateway on this server after Exchange. This screwed over Exchange, as the bindings in IIS were messed up (exchange registered 127.0.0.1:443 and <nothing>:443 and RDGW *:443 or similar). Anyways, if we remove the additional bindings things get really interesting. IIS starts again, Exchange works (it does a lot through IIS now which is... well let's just say I'm not a fan of it, bork up IIS and you'll have no exchange, no management interface and no powershell (powershell connects through IIS, ain't that nice)) and RDGW - well, it does something.
I have the RD policies. The configuration utility of RDGW will keep on complaining there's no certificate configured. This is probably because it's missing it's own binding, since it should use the same default website as exchange (which creates 2 now - but the backend runs on 81 and 444) it should be fine with the cert attached to the site exchange created. If we try to configure the certificate from there it will go on, but it will break exchange again. We remove the additional bindings then and this error returns in the management tool.
Anyways, as I said, it gets interesting. As stated this is at a clients location. If we use XP to connect over the RDGW it will always fail with a message the remote desktop gateway is temporarily unavailable. The usual solution with the CredSSP enabling does not resolve this.
The interesting part is Windows 7. All machines we have here at our office (not on the clients site thus) can connect just fine over the RDGW. These are all joined to our domain, which still runs SBS 2011. Our 2008 R2 Terminal Server connects fine too. My Windows 7 at home and several of the clients employees with their own Windows 7 machines can not connect however. Same message as XP, the remote desktop gateway server is temporarily unavailable.
Can't seem to figure out what the difference would be between our Win7 clients at the office and the rest. It's not the firewall rules - I have the same access to their firewall at my home and it fails there.
Any ideas? It would be nice if we could just tell RDGW to use the default site (and the already existing bindings on it) too. Hope that prevents it from messing up IIS again.
TIA
Hi,
We have a single server setup with 2012 RDS using User profile disks - the vhd's is stored locally on a SSD raid
However, we are seeing more and more that users can not be signed in with their profile and instead is getting signed in with a temp. profile, this offcourse is just about as bad as it can get, since users dont understand it - they save data in the temp. profile
and then the data is lost.
How can i fix this ? - is there any (easy) way to migrate back to the normal kind of profile ?
Thank you in advance,
Leon

I am using Hyper-V 2012 core as host and WMS2012 as VM. I am unable to take RDP from host to guest. as per my understanding Hyper-V 2012 Core doesn't come with RDP package, you need to use portableRDP and current portable RDP package doesn't support
Hyper-V 2012. I tried to installed RDP by copying files (mstsc.exe, msacm32.dll, d2d1.dll, mstscax.dll etc) to hyper-V 2012 core and got limited success i.e. able to launch RDP client UI but unable to get connect to VM.
Queries
1. Is there is any Hyper-V 2012 compatible "RDPPortable.exe " released by MS.
2. To get my workaround working what else steps i should do.
Hello,
I have an application (Acrobat 8) running on my 2008 R2 Terminal Servers that runs, but randomly throws fatal errors. As part of my troubleshooting, since it's an older app, I wanted to try running it in XPSP3 compatibility mode for all users to see if that helps at all.
I can set acrobat.exe to run in XPSP3 mode and it will run logged in as an Administrator, but when I log in as one of my TS users, I get UAC-style prompts that require authentication to run the program.
Running Process Monitor and attempting to run as a TS user gives me only two access denied errors for the TS user, on these files:
Before I give TS users access to those files, I wanted to see if there were any special permissions that should be set anywhere just as a result of using application compatibility mode on a terminal server. The TS users are currently just members of the Users and Remote Desktop Users groups.
Thanks in advance,
John
We do not have System Center and I do not see a clearly documented procedure anywhere on the Microsoft site.
Hi,
We'd like to log off all the idle RDO sessions every 15 minutes and have a group policy is configured for that according to Microsoft guidelines (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc754272.aspx).
But for Microsfot, and idle sessions is when you aren't using the mouse or the keyboard. For instance, the session will be logged of even there's an application/script or whatever running on the server.
Is there any possibility of not logging off a RDP session when something is running on the server?
Thank you.
Hi,
I am using handheld with Windows CE 5.0 as thin clients to connect to Terminal Services server. Everything works fine with Windows Server 2008R2, but I'm not able to connect to Windows Sever 2012.

Hello,
I'm running Server 2008 + Terminal Services.
Users connect to the TS Web Access page to access RemoteApp programs. This afternoon one particular user on a particular PC was unable to access the URL. If she switches to another machine or picks up a new IP address, then all is good.
Also, something has blocked the IP if her wireless card (she was also connected to our internal wireless via Radius.
Any suggestions? Where is here IP being blocked?
Hi All,
I'm using RDS 2012 to share some applications.
I'm using a RD Gateway to let internet clients use the published applications.
Today i'm facing a problem that I want to share with the community, and i'm sure it's a good topic.
I want that only internet clients use the RDGateway server, so I decided to check the option "Bypass the Gateway for local addresses"
The question is how the mechanism detects that it's in a local range or in a internet range.
The problem comes after some users in a branch office (connected to the main office via MPLS, not internet) reported me some performance issues, after I checked I found that they are redirected via the gateway, it's not my aim, I want only internet clients to be redirected via the Gateway.
The solution is : Is there any configuration file in the RDS server where I can configure and let the RDS server now the range and the source addresses that I want to be considered as local ?

Hi,
How would we go about deploying programs to our windows xp clients (non domain joined, external clients) from server 2012? In Windows server 2008 R2 we've done this using MSI's, but this option is removed in 2012.
Is the only possible way for them to open the browser and go to rd web access every time they want to start a program?
Thanks
We have implemented a new Server 2012 RDS server. Our domain now has 3 RDS Servers. Two are Server 2008 and a new Server 2012. We have a problem where the new Server 2012 server will not allow access to a clients local drives. The two Server 2008 work just fine.
Does anyone know what the problem might be?
hello ,
i dont find an option to export .pub file that i need in order to publish terminal servers thruogh UAG
any suggestions ?
our remote desktop gateway is part of our local active directory domain. So it has a hostname of rdgsrv01.ourlocaldomain.local. I can connect to the RDSH server just fine through the RDG server, from a workstation on our internal network. Now I want to connect from a workstation outside out of our network and I keep getting a certificate error.
How would the proper configuration go for that to work?
We have a public domain.com. So I created the public host record "rdg.ourdomain.com" for our clients to use. On the RDG server itself, I created a self signed certificate using the same domain name "rdg.ourdomain.com". I imported it so that it's displayed in the section of the RD Gateway Manager where it says "The following certificate is installed on RDGSrv01:"
But it seems that the SSL certificate of the remote desktop gateway server MUST match the FQDN of the server itself. If that is the case, how can this server be accessible from the outside if no one can communicate with ourinternaldomain.local, being that is a private active directory domain? Do I have to add a hostfile entry for that on the remote computer then use the original certificate on the RDG server?
It works fine when I do that. But adding a hostfile entry for our private active directory domain on all remote computers does not seem like a practical solution.
