Hi i recently rebooted a windows 2012 r2 machine in esxi 5.1 managed by vcenter. After rebooted the machine is showing black screen. In safemode no issue with video. i tryed the troubleshooting method as advised in https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2897632. but only the first update (Windows8.1-KB2887595-v2-x64.msu) is able to install in safemode.
Can any one help me. ?
thanks in advance
Hello,
I am setting up office 365 on an RDS server. my domain used non-routable domain (company.local) so i had to create an alternate UPN that matched the routable registered domain for the company (company.com). the problem that i am having now is that when i have logged onto the RDS and start an office application, i am still prompted with the activation prompt, asking for an email. if i enter the testuser's email and then password on next screen, i am able to register the user and get a token license.
This is not my desired solution as i wouldnt want my users to have to do this every x days. The technet on this topic is very fluffy, a lot of 'Probably, might, some and should' as opposed to definitive answers. https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn782860.aspx (under section 'How shared computer activation works for Office 365 Plus').
My domain is already DirSynced with password sync too.
any help would be appreciated on how to automate this process so the user never sees this prompt. ideally, Office should pickup the email and password without the user entering anything.
regards,
InfoAdmin
Hi All
Can anyone please assist me with the issue that is occuring in my environment ?
Basically, I've got 60+ Windows Server 2008 R2 configured as RDSH (TS) and then I'm using Riverbed/Brocade Steel App 3rd party load balancer to distribute the load of the user when accessing TS-FARM1.domain.com.au in the RDP application.
Somehow some of the users unable to access it using the Virtual Cluster Name due to some servers giving the following error:
But if I ask them to type in TS57 or TS32 randomly, it works so I guess there is something making it corrupted to some particular TS.
ANy help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi,
I have a single server deployment of Server 2012 R2 Remote Desktop Services. It works fine internally using both RDWeb and the RD Client with the gateway set, but connecting externally gives me the following error:
"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"
The following steps have already been done:
Set-RDSessionCollectionConfiguration –CollectionName QuickSessionCollection -CustomRdpProperty “use redirection server name:i:1 `n alternate full address:s:remote.domain.com”
Set-RDPublishedName.ps1 "remote.domain.com"
In Application Settings for RDWeb\Pages I have set DefaultTSGateway to remote.domain.com
remote.domain.com has been added to the RD RAP.
Internal and public DNS records for remote.domain.com
A publically signed wildcard certificate is in use (Internal domain is corp.domain.com so I am using an alias to make the wildcard *.domain.com cert valid).
I can hit https://remote.domain.com/rpc and get prompted for authentication and then get a blank page.
The only error I can see in the logs is this in the system log:
"The program lsass.exe, with the assigned process ID 760, could not authenticate locally by using the target name TERMSRV/remote.domain.com. The target name used is not valid. A target name should refer to one of the local computer names, for example,
the DNS host name.
Try a different target name."
The server is sitting in AWS and remote.domain.com publically is a CNAME for the AWS LoadBalancer URL.
Any suggestions on what else I can look at?
Cheers,
James

I have a question, how can a remote controlled user finish the remote control session? Example:
Both user are administrator, user A and user B have a RDP session on a server. B would like to support user A. Now user B initiate a remote control session with a known hot key combination. But how can user A finish the remote control session from ITSELF (in
this case user A) without log off User B?
Many thanks for your answers.
I have a virtual server running Server 2012 R2. It had been running RDS without any issues. All of a sudden, we can no longer Remote Desktop into it. We initiate the connection, are prompted for credentials. The Window comes up like it connects, but what should be the desktop is totally black. It stays like this for about 20 seconds, then the window closes. Looking at the event log, it seems like Event ID 1306, 1296, and 802 are generated. 1306 - Remote Desktop Connection Broker Client failed to redirect the user Error: NULL 1296 - Remote Desktop Connection Broker Client failed while getting redirection packet from Connection Broker. User: Error: Element not found. 802 - RD Connection Broker failed to process the connection request for user. Error: Element not found.
Can anyone please give me some guidance on what could be causing this issue? This happens when you have the RDS Role Setup and when you remove the role from the server. We can connect into the Host Server without any issues, it is just this Virtual Server that is a problem.
So I have googled my way again (did the same about a year ago) and haven't found any updated information regarding the possibility of setting up RDS 2012 R2 services with the RDGateway/RDWeb access role/server located in a DMZ. All the information regarding setup of RDS seems to point to Windows Server 2008, with most people citing that this information still applies to Server 2012 R2. I am speaking particurlaly about this Remote Desktop Services Blog post (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/rds/archive/2009/07/31/rd-gateway-deployment-in-a-perimeter-network-firewall-rules.aspx). This post talks about three sections with a DMZ (3.1,.3.2 and 3.3).
The way I read 3.1 is that it is talking about the server in the DMZ being domain joined to the internal corp domain and then having open ports back to the DCs, Other RDS servers and resources. In practical terms I cant see the point of having this server in the DMZ in this case.
The second and third scenarios deal with trusts between the domain in the DMZ and the internal corp domain. I currently am using the 3.3 scenario with a RODC and extended corp trust, but have been running into issues with the RODC. There is nothing wrong with the function of it, but the practice of using a RODC for the RDSweb/RDGateway authentication in the DMZ does not allow for offsite users to change their password when it is required. I have about 20 users who are now exclusively remote in operation and this is presenting a problem without allowing a way for them to correct it themselves.
The scenario for 3.2 deals with what I believe would be a solution for my problem. In my thinking, the trust would allow the users to update their passwords (as would scenario 3.1 but I would fail a security audit if I allowed those ports required to be open). I have been setting up scenario 3.2 and have been running into all kinds of problems. The problems seem to be specific to Server 2012 R2 RDS setup as the setup of RDS is expecting to have unencumbered normal domain access to all the servers involved when establishing the roles. I currently have things (for testing) as open as they could in this scenario, full two way trust between the two domains (forest-wide authentication), all ports open between the server in the DMZ and it's RDS role counterparts on the internal domain. In this configuration it succeeds installing the RDWeb and RDGateway roles. When trying to install the roles with a one way trust, the setup process kept failing as it wants to add the computer account (of the DMZ server it cant see in this one way trust scenario) to a local group on the connection broker server.
What I am curious to know is -
-Will having a trust in place allow users to change their password on RDWeb? I assume that the DMZ DC just acts as a proxy to the internal DCs if it does.
-Has anyone actually been able to setup a one way trust with Server 2012 R2 RDS with the RDWeb/RDGateway server in the DMZ? I can start to work backwards from where I have things configured now and try to get this to work with a one way trust, but if anyone knows why it is not possible it would save me a lot of time.
-If this scenario with a one way trust isnt possible, is there any way of using a two way trust with selective authentication to further reduce the risks of that trust (only including computer accounts, user accounts etc that need to be included for the RDS function)?
Thanks,
Brian
Hi,
I have a problem with deleting 3 print drivers on one of our Terminal servers, it keep saying this:
Failed to remove driver HP LaserJet M3027 mfp PCL6. The specified printer driver is currently in use.
Failed to remove driver HP LaserJet M4345 mfp PCL6. The specified printer driver is currently in use.
Failed to remove package prnhp002.inf. Access is denied.
The reason of this removing, is that HP has finally made there Universal Driver for 2008 R2, and therefore want to clean up in old drivers on our 4 terminal servers.
I have tried to stop spool service, but then i can't get in to "Print Server Properties", where i can find the print drivers installed.
Is it because i choose "Remove driver and driver package"?
Or is it because the driver file are the same for for the old driver and the HP universal driver?
Please help...
I have a Windows Server 2012 R2 machine that I have been using as a Remote Desktop Terminal server for about two years. Recently, it started displaying the error message that;
"The digital signature of this RDP file cannot be verified. THe remote connection cannot be started."
So, I looked and discovered my certificate had expired. I created a new one and restarted the service then opened the RDPWeb connection again, logged in and clicked on one of the Apps I had it configured for.
Nothing happened on the remote client. The button appears to click, but the app never launches. So I went to the local server and launched the RDPWeb and did the same thing, except this time It launched the app just fine.
After this I figured I had an issue with the Session Collection, so I blew that away and recreated it. Same problem.
What am I missing here?
Thanks,
Hello,
We are running RDS 2012 in a virtualized environment with 2 hosts and a gateway. I would like to force users of a security group connect to a specific host.
Is this possible?
Thank you
I have Windows Server 2012 Remote Desktop services platform. I have connection broker and session host roles are running on different servers. I am trying to remove an session host server and cannot do it using Server Manager or Power shell command.
On Server manager, I am trying to remove the session host server at collections/Host Servers. I get this message:
Could not remove the configuration.
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
On Powershell I get this messge.

Striving for application backward compatibility something near 32-bit Windows 2003 - hence looking at W2008 32-bit (pre-R2).
The articles below to show how an 2008R2 RDSH server could be theoretically added to an RDS 2012R2 farm, however I have the following questions:

Any assistance appreciated as always.

Since Windows 2012 R2 now supports USB redirection (low-level port level redirection), does this include support for encrypted USB flash drives using USB redirection?
Thanks
Hi guys. We having a issue, that when someone is moving a file from a network mapped drive connected through webdav. When a user is moving a file from his desktop to this mapped drive no message appears. But when the user is moving the file from the mapped drive to his desktop and it is a roaming profile. A security window appears and says, are you sure you want to do this. The path is like \\servername\homes\username\Desktop. Both places, so the unc path and the webdav address are under the trusted sites. Now is the question. Why this is happening?
I am finding XML files with really long file names in %USERPROFILE%\UserData that is preventing some users roaming profiles from copying properly. There are directories with names that are 8 characters long (just random letter) and in these directories (usually 4 or 5 per profile) are XML files with really long names like the folowing.
MCMSCA59ZSXFCAGU1EYHCARLKK4UCA7XERA3CAEDPLP2CAOYO8RSCA16LIXRCAHJBLLLCAZHEVESCAATL5UACAO2EH3HCALY3VP5CAHVDLTNCABRHCAPCAC3TVLJCAJZ7AIUCAPBBSOKCA9OQ4P5CADQQ5XGCATGB4GICAB5HSHMCAXOPULMCA1AUYYDCACXLIMN.xml
The contents of these files are similar to the following.
<ROOTSTUBi="26" toast_count_5="15" />
Some of my searching shows windows updates uses these folders for settings, but we use WSUS and users are prevented from manually doing windows updates.
Can anyone tell me what creates these, what they are, and if it is safe to delete them and the folders they reside in. If it is safe then I have an app that can delete them at logoff.
Hello all,
We are using remote app server along with terminal server on the same machine
How can we make it possible to change input language in remote app (MS Dynamics for example)
Thank you
We have a system setup and working were remote users can access an RD Gateway via a Reverse Proxy (Application Request Routing) perfectly well from Windows clients.
When a user tried to access the system using their MacBook (using the RDP client from iTunes) it is really slow and hangs so much it's unusable. If the same MacBook accesses the RD Gateway without going via the Reverse Proxy it works fine!
Has anyone else had this problem and if so is there anything that can be changed on the Reverse Proxy to help with this problem?
Cheers for now
Russell

We generate on serveral Servers via powershell an RDS license remport. On These Servers are the role remote Desktop licensing (no terminalserver) installed. but on some Servern i couldn't load the powershell module remote Desktop Services?!
