Hi guys.
It's known that Windows Server 2016 Essentials doesn't need user/device CAL. Ok, to use Remote Desktop Services role isn't necessarily acquire RDS CALs (P/N: 6VC-03222 and P/N: 6VC-03224)?
Thanks for all,
Hugo Feltrin da Silva

Though this roll up si listed as important update, however it wasnt installed on Servers when checked.
whereas all these servers are patched up regularly after 15 days . in fact one of recent server setup also deosnt have this roll up update. we have alreday set "give me recommended updates same as important updates"
can anyone lead us how rollup shall be checked , do we need to check these manually or check updates will install it?
Hi,
I have configured an RDS 2012R2 environment in a HA configuration.
The RDS Connection Broker works as expected, sort of (different question). The Website though is giving me issues.
The two servers with the RdWeb installed sit behind an ELB, both servers have been added to the RDS deployment.
https://ELBname/ correctly displays the IIS default splash screen.
https://ELBname/RdWeb causes a 302 redirect to https://ELBname/RdWeb/Pages for about 120 loops and then IE displays this error:
This page can’t be displayed •Make sure that the web address https://ELBname is correct. •Look for the page with your search engine. •Refresh the page in a few minutes.
https://webserver1/RdWeb works correctly.
https://webserver2/RdWeb works correctly.
What's going wrong here?

All,
I've been testing RDS deployment using PowerShell, which means I've installed and uninstalled the various roles several times, but each time I do this (i.e. re-install RDG/Web and other components) the RDWeb page has the previous Desktops still published.
I had assumed that the RDWeb page was built from the Windows Internal Database, which I have removed each time, but clearly this is incorrect.
Server Manager >RDS shows only one desktop published, i.e. the correct one.
I need to remove the 'spare' Desktops without affecting service if possible.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
I have asked this question here before and I thought I had it fixed but it didn't seem to be the case.
I have a Windows 2003 Domain env. and have added a Windows 2008 R2 member server with the RDS server role enabled, the RDS licensing service is also installed on the same server. All Windows client were able connect to it without any problem. I added another 2008 R2 server (with RDS server role enabled) to the domain and would like use it as a backup RDS server. The problem that I am experiencing is that the newly added RDS server is unable to communicate with the first RDS server's license service and therefore it can not obtain the RDS CALs. The license server was shown in the known license servers area in the Remote Desktop Session host server configuration on the new server, but it showed as unavailable under the licensing diagnosis information area. When I manually added the license server to the license server list, it always said the license server selected is not connectable at the moment. I can ping the license server as well as access the file share of the license server. Any thought? Thanks
And another issue:
I am unable to add my RDS 2012R2 license server to my existing RDS deployment.
I added the server to Server Manager and this works fine. Adding the License Server via the UI also works and completes successfully, or so it seems.
Get-RDServer does not show the License Server.
Server Manager RDS tab does not show the License Server to be configured at all.
However, trying to edit the RDS Deployment properties the License Server is available.
I also tried to add a different server with the RDS Licensing feature installed via PowerShell first and that fails without any error message.
This all does not make ANY sense.
On the License Server itself I checked the RDS License Server Manager and the License Server is currently not activated (these are all test deployments!), the server is not online and can't access Microsoft's activation site.

Hello,
I know that it is not recommended to configure your DC to have RDS role and it is better to have RDS on a separate box. But I was wondering if it is possible to have multiple/simultaneous RDP sessions without having domain at all?
I mean can I just have a standalone physical box running a standalone copy of Server 2016 Standard and just add RDS role to it and have multiple simultaneous client PC's RDP'ing to it?
Or do I have to make that server to be a part of domain (DC or just a member) in order to have that?
Client PC's are not domain joined and all have just local accounts, but every employee would also have a user account/password on a server and they would use these credentials for their RDP sessions.
We're talking about very small office (5-7 users/PC's), but we want to have a shared folder on a server (call it a very minimalist version of a file server that is not actually a file server) and also a couple of small apps installed on that server. So people can RDP and use files/apps on a server instead of installing everything on every user PC individually.
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
Can you limit number of users on RDS2008 via powershell?

Hello,
we have office 2016 and we have a program as remoteapp that can export to excel. when users try to send this excel (spawned from the remoteapp) as mail the user gets this error:
and then:
Mail system failure. check you mail installation
i read in some posts that this reg key should help (ive also tried not in polices):
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\AutoDiscover
Dword = ZeroConfigExchange
Value = 1
but i get the same error.
is there a way to auto create the mail profile when an application requires it? or maybe i can run some app that will auto-create the profile on first login?
thanks,
Sean
Hello,
I am in need of some assistance with RDS licensing on Windows Server 2012 R2. We have two users that remote in via RemoteApp link. I also remote in using Remote Desktop with the /admin switch occasionally for management. We have purchased two RDS CAL licenses to make sure our two remote users can use their RemoteApp concurrently.
I am getting reports of "RemoteApp Disconnected" "The remote session was disconnected because there are no Remote Desktop client access licenses available for this computer".
It seems something is incorrect with my licensing as I only have the two users. When I last look at my connections in server manager I only saw one active one and the other disconnected. When I look at my licensing I see that I do have two, but one is retail and the other one is open. I purchased both licenses retail, but one last year and one this year from different vendors.
Did I just install them wrong? Should this be an issue as I do have two licenses installed? What can I try to resolve this?
Windows Server 2012 - Installed RDS Per User CAL Retail Purchase 1 (total) 1 (available)
Windows Server 2012 - Installed RDS Per User CAL Open 1 (total) 1 (available)
I would like to make everyone aware of an issue with RDS and the FIX from Microsoft services which I consider unacceptable.
The setup is as follows. One 2012 DC with Terminal server licensing installed. Two 2012 servers with RDS enabled. Take note that RDS was NOT deployed using the wizard as there is no need for all of the resources of a server farm for 2 servers. On each of the RDS enabled servers, group policey was used to enable and specify the RDS server and licensing mode. The RD Licensing Diagnoser was used to verify, and report that no licensing problems for the Remote Desktop Session Host Server existed, and the tray icon that reports that you are running a trial version of RDS does NOT appear.
Advance forward a few months and users start reporting that they cannot login and that they are receiving “The remote session was disconnected because there are no RDS license servers available to provide a license."
After doing all that I could I filed a case with Microsoft Support at the Highest Level Possible. After a month I finally was able to talk to someone. After 2 more weeks, here is the solution they gave me….
This continues to occur every few months. I wish someone at MS would FIX the problem.

Hi.
Question.
1) I would like to connect 40 of Client Pc by PXE(Diskless Boot) boot in Windows Server(2008/2012)
2) Clients OS is personal OS(Windows 7/8.1/10)
3) In this case, I'd lik to know Windows License policy?
- Windows Server License policy
- Client(PC/Desktop) License policy
4) It is Korea.
We have a strange problem over here.
I updated a pc from Win 7 to Win 10 1607 and since we did that, we have some troubles regarding the keyboard language in a RDP session to a Windows Server 2012 R2. On the server the keyboard language is right when I connect, but sometimes it happens that
for example the number 4 will be ' and 3 is " and so on.
I also created on the RDP server a regedit dword caled IgnoreRemoteKeyboardLayout but it doesn't help.
So I setup a fresh install of a Win 10 1607 machine and I connect with the same user to the RDP server and there is no problem. It is getting me crazy, so does anyone has an idea how to solve this?
Thanks

Hi,
I've setup a remote desktop services server (server 2012R2). All works fine. I have one "problem".
If i log in on the workspace webpage, i see the default apps that came with the default installation, being Calculator, Paint and Wordpad.
I want to remote these to install my own apps.
When, on the server, i start server manager, and go to Remote Desktop Services, I drill down to Collections, Remote apps. In my Remote app programs window nothing is listed. So i cannot select them to remove.
Is there any way i can remote those apps, to have a clean start ?
Thank
Regards,
Jo Lambrecht
The title explains it all really. We have a fully licensed server 2012 R2 box installed with Remote desktop and the required CAL's.
We have multiple locations that each login to the terminal server via VPN. Each of these locations are in their own OU. What I would like to accomplish is once location A reaches 6 simultaneous logins. They are given the "You have reached the maximum logins" prompt. Location B could have 12 users, Location C could have 25 etc. Each with their own limits. I have reasearched a bit and can't find a way to do it in the system.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I cannot access our RDS Deployment from outside of the LAN. Deployment details as follows:
EDIT: Server 2016
Broker01/Broker02 - Configured in HA both with internal IP (10.x.x.x) - Broker01 also holds the Web Access role
RDGateway01 - Two NICS, on internal IP address (10.x.x.x) and one for DMZ (192.x.x.x)
SessionHost01/02 - Both with internal IP Address (10.x.x.x)
Everything works beautifully on the inside, I can type our URL rds.mydomain.com and there is no problems. Issues arise when trying to access externally.
The firewall on the DMZ has been set to forward requests on port 443 to the RDSGateway01 but I keep getting "This Page Cannot Be Displayed" or something different depending on the browser. What am I missing?
Thanks
