$

0
Hello experts,

I have just performed a RDS Standard Deployment installed on 2012 R2. I have 1x Connection Broker and 2x Session Host servers on the internal network and 1x RD Gateway on the perimeter network.

I need to request and install a trusted certificate from trusted third-party certification authority.I need to create a CSR but can't figure out where to do this. Can I use the create the Certificate Signing Request using the Certificates snap-in in the Connection Broker or IIS installed on the RD Gateway ?

Thanks in advance.

Specific client gets logged off (2003 TS)

$

Hi TS experts,

We have an ancient 2003 TS (For specific apps that cant run on newer OS) and a specific user gets logged off when the session is inactive.

It only happens to this specific user and the user doesn't have any special group policy applied to him.

* If the user disconnect the session itself (by closing it from the top bar) the session remain on the server and doesn't gets logged off.

Can it be from the client machine it self? (Win8.1)

Did anyone encountered such issue?

Thanks in advance to any helpfull reply!

Disable file URL in IE11

$

0

I use Windows Server 2012 R2 and try to block the access to local drives.

Accessing the local drives is blocked through policy and works fine. However, people are able to access to the local drives when using the URL tab in IE11. By starting IE11 they are able to type d:\ for example and browse to files where I don't want them to go.

The point is, it is a RDP server and users must access it. However, the following policies have been applied already: "Prohibit access to Control Panel and PC settings", "Hide these specified drives: A, B, C and D", "No entire network in Network Locations"and "Prevent access to drives from My Computer".  This means they can't see the drives, but user specific settings are written to C and D, which is fine. So far so good.

So the only thing left is to browse the filesystem through IE. And I haven't been able to find a policy setting for this. I don't want to use the registry for this (preferrably). 

Hopefully anyone knows if there is a group policy setting to disable this?

Adding NoFileRun to the registry doesn't seem to work by the way.

Any suggestions are welcome.

I have a thin client that has requested a new RD License over 20 times. It is the only one that has done this according to the RD License manager. Has anyone experienced this problem before and know how to correct it? It is an HP Thin Client connecting to server 2008 over a MPLS. Thank you for any help you can give.

Hi,

I just installed Windows 2008 R2 and enabled the RD Web Access and the RemoteApp...

When I open the RD Web Access page http://hostname/rdweb I get prompted for my domain credentials...

Is there a way to pass these settings to get directly to the RemoteApps?

Another thing: Can I disable the "Remote Desktop" option on the RD Web Access page?

Regards

Windows RDS 2012 - Single sign-on using Firefox or Chrome when launching RemoteApp from RDweb

$
0

Hi

I have deployed RDS integrally on Windows Server 2012. This is my deploymnet:

RDweb01 - RD Web access and gateway - Let's say "rdweb.contoso.com"

RDCBroker01 - Connection Broker in HA mode using a certificate signed by a public trust CA. We have just one Broker. The HA mode is only to be able to use the certificate. Let's say "rdfarm.contoso.com"

RDSHost01 and RDSHost02 - RD Session host.

I have several RemoteApp publishd through RDWeb. It's just IE pointing to different web sites.

When the users are using IE evrything works fine. No warnings and SSO works. The users log on to rdweb.contoso.com and then they are able to launch any RemoteApp without being asked for credentials, i.e. SSO works fine.

The problem is when using Firefox or Chrome. Then the users are asked for credentials when launching any RemoteApp. It seems the request comes from the broker. Since I can see the address rdfarm.contoso.com in the credential window.

The question is if SSO is supposed to work on non-IE browsers and if so HOW?

Thanks in advanced.


Can't modify rdp port on Windows 2012 R2

We are running Windows 2012 R2. I modify the RDP port from 3389 to 3390 as shown below.

However, I can't telnet 3390. It is timeout. If I telnet localhost 3389, it works. It is not firewall issue because I have added tcp port 3390 to the firewall. I also disable firewall for test. Why does port 3389 still work but port 3390 after changing the port from 3389 to 3390?

Any idea if this takes as long as 24hours or more?

Or am i missing someting?

RemoteApp Source not working from RDWeb

I have 2 servers at the moment managed by a connection broker. If I choose a RemoteApp source instead of RD conncection broker then 1 of my servers populates all the apps fine. If I choose the other host then it errors and says 'RD Web Access was not able to access xxxx. Verify that the RD Session Host server name was entered correctly, that the server is running and connected to the network, and try again.' All the servers are R2 and I can RDP to each of the session hosts fine.

Hello 

I have a virtualised Server 2012 R2 RDS Farm that consists of 1 gateway and 4 hosts access to the farm randomly stops with the TSGateway service at fault. I receive event ID 7011 a few times then the 7046 if I go onto the server and restart the TSGateway service then connectivity is restored. there is hardly any 3rd party software on there and I am struggling to see what can be causing the issue.

Any help to resolve this issue is much appreciated.

Print PDF file from winform client installed on RDC or VDI using local printer (TS Easy Print)

$
0
0

Dears,

I'm working on a legacy application using winform (.net 4.0 & c#).

The client application is installed on a machine accessible only via RDC or VDI. The OS is Windows 7 or higher.

The client application must be able to print PDF files from that machine to the local printer (local or network) installed on the client machine. This means that the printer selected via RDC is a redirected printer using the TS easy print drivers. Those drivers don't allow the usage of RAW printing.

The printing method used before were:

- Copy of the files directly on the UNC of the printer (\\printername\dc)

- Usage of ImportDll and calls to OpenPrinter, StartDocPrinter, WritePrinter, ....

Both of those solutions don't work anymore because:

- The network printers are not on the same domain anymore and therefore not accessible directly from the RDC.

- The WritePrinter method don't work anymore since the easy print drivers don't understand RAW printing.

So, here comes my question. How can I print on those printer? Do I have to create an EMF file for the printing? If yes, how can I use my PDF file and create an EMF file containing the information? Is there other solutions (modifying the group policy is not an option since we don't want to install the drivers of the different clients that will connect)?

In last resort, the usage of a library could be foreseen but a long discussion with the management will be necessary (so I hope other solutions exists). Is there some third party library that you could advice?

Also, I tried printing in that environment using PrintDocument.Print(). That is working as expected but with that solution the problem is to convert the pdf to a drawable format (one image per page or other ...).

Thanks in advance,

Roaming Profile and Outlook Credentials

$

I am running Windows 2008R2 and Outlook 2010 with Roaming Profiles.

When Outlook users first open outlook on a server they are prompted for Credentials. If they save the password while opening outlook and they happen to logon to the same server they are not prompted for creds. If they happen to login to a different server they are prompted for creds. On the servers where creds are saved I can see them in credential Manager.

I am under the impression that Outlook Credentials should roam with the user and they should sit in C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Credentials

Is this not the case or do I possibly have a configuration problem? Any thoughts?

WS2012R2 RDS Web Gateway & Multiple monitors

$
0

I have set up two RDS collections so far, complete with a RDS Connection Broker, two session hosts each, and a web gateway. Everything is working quite well, including multiple monitors. However, the problem is there does not seem to be a way to choose to use or not use multiple monitors when connecting to a published collection. I found a 'hack' that WAS able to enable the ability to select if the session was going to use multiple monitors or not (It adds a check box at the bottom of the resource pane), BUT, that only works with IE. The option doesn't appear on Firefox.

I'm not finding anything anywhere else to change the option when launching the connection, and since most people use browsers other than IE, the hack/fix I found is of limited use. Is there some other way to add in the option, such as in the Remote Desktop Connection dialogue that allows you to select/deselect local resources? If this is not possible, I would settle for changing the default from all monitors to full screen, while leaving the 'hack' in place to allow users to choose if they are using IE.

RD Gateway Manager Crashing adding a RAP

I've set up a HA Connection Broker cluster, and in order to get the web gateway working again, I need to set up a new RAP policy that specifies the RD Broker RR Address, but every time I try, when I click 'Add' in 'User Groups' (And anywhere else in the MMC, it seems), the MMC crashes with the following output:

As far as I can tell from searching, it seems to be .NET that's crashing, but I haven't found any solutions.All three servers (Web Gateway and both Connection Brokers) are fully patched.

has anyone else sen this and/or have any ideas how to either fix it or maybe some kind of workaround?


Remote Desktop Services Licensing Manager

$

Hi Everyone,

I have a Windows Server 2012 R2 server with the Remote desktop Licensing Role installed.  I have installed my licenses, but in RD Licensing Manager there is a yellow exclamation point next to the server.  The server is published to AD and is a member of the "Terminal Server Licensing Servers" group.  This server does not have any other RD roles installed. There is no button under "Review Configuration" to publish to AD, as it is already published.

If I go to ADSIEdit, the server is NOT listed under Enterprise-License-Server Properties in Configuration.  Below is an image of "Review Configuration".

The session host server (Also 2012 R2) has the license server entered manually, but will not pull licenses from it.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in Advance

Change RDS 2012R2 authentication to username@domain.com

$

Good Day,

We recently completed an Office 365 migration. Our end users login to Office 365 with their UPN asusername@domain.com. Our RDS 2012R2 environment is currently set for UPN  as domain\username. I would like to make them consistent so that RDS will accept eitherusername@domain.com or domain\username.

Is this possible?

Thank you!

SJ
