When using RDC to connect from Computer 1 to Computer 2, I am running into an issue. Both machines are running Windows 10.

Upon connection, Computer 2 (remote), gets a black screen while Computer one (local) takes over as a logged in user.

The issue is the user on Computer 2 (remote) can simply click the black screen, to get to the user account sign in screen and simply sign in again thereby disconnecting the remote session.

How can I prevent the user on Computer 2 (remote) from doing this until I have completed my updates and ended the session?

Im seeing eventid 1001 with Event Name: AppHangTransient for a particular application that we have published with remoteapp. Im seeing this eventid every now and then on the app server.

It is an informational log.  What is this log mean exactly?  Is this caused by the application hanging/freezing? This seems like a dumb question to me, but I have never seen this particular log before. I wanted to confirm.

My main question is, could these possibly cause remoteapp to disconnect and reconnect temporarily?

Thanks.

Hi,

I am trying to manage my RDS farm from RSAT 1.2 on my Windows 10 x64 machine.

I have added all the RDSH servers and the broker server to server manager. I manage all these with a domain administrator account as my own account does not have rights to manage these servers, this is fine as it retrieves the status of all the servers after changing the management account.

When I click on Remote Desktop Services -> Overview it comes up with this messaged pictured below:

All these services are running on the connection broker server. If I view the same interface in server manager on the broker server, I can see all of the collections and manage them with no issue.

Remote management is enabled on the broker server, so why is server manager on my machine failing to connect to it?

We have a new windows server 2012(not r2), which is used as a remote desktop server. We had sat up group policy and everything worked great untill printer redirection stopped working. The redirected printers does not redirect at all no more. We allso have alot of errors in event viewer: 

Event ID 1107: The printer *printername* could not be deleted. 

Event ID 354:\\*printerserver*\*printer* initialization failed at \\*printerserver*\print$\COLOR\CNZ007.ICC. Error: 2. The system cannot find the file specified.. This can occur because of system instability or a lack of system resources.

Event ID 7000: The Portable Device Enumerator Service service failed to start due to the following error: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.

Event ID 7011: A timeout (30000 milliseconds) was reached while waiting for a transaction response from the AllUserInstallAgent service.

Event ID 10028: DCOM was unable to communicate with the computer RDservername.domain.local using any of the configured protocols; requested by PID      af4 (C:\Windows\system32\ServerManager.exe).

Event ID 3: Filter Manager failed to attach to volume '\Device\HarddiskVolume95'.  This volume will be unavailable for filtering until a reboot.  The final status was 0xC03A001C.

Event ID 137: The default transaction resource manager on volume C:\Users\*user* encountered a non-retryable error and could not start.  The data contains the error code.

I suspect that event id 1107 has something to do with it as the server fails to delete the redirected printers after logof or something. 

The print spooler does not stop, but when i restart it, printer redirection works, but after any user logs off the server, it stops working again. 

The clients get the printers from a print server, and the remote desktop server get the drivers from the same print server so i dont think it is a driver issue. 

Has anyone experienced something similar? 

Hello,

I'm in the process of deploying remote desktop services for our company to see if it's viable for our situation.
I've got everything working. The only thing that's bugging me is that the local FQDN is show when connecting to a full desktop session host.
I've set the "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Terminal Server\CentralPublishedResources\PublishedFarms\<Collection>\RemoteDesktops\<Collection>\ShowInPortal" to 1 to show the Remote Desktop Connection shortcut in RD Web Access.

> Server certificates are all published in the RDS deployment properties. (We have bought a wildcard certificate from a trusted CA.)
- RDCB SSO: Trusted & OK
- RDCB Publishing: Trusted & OK
- RD Web Access: Trusted & Error (All services are on single server with HA)
- RD Gateway: Trusted & OK

> RD Gateway specific certificates are also uploaded through the RD Gateway Manager.
> RD Connection Broker HA DNS RR is set to remote.domain.com in the deployment properties.
> RD Gateway server name is also configured to remote.domain.com in the deployment properties.
> RD Gateway HA is configured with NLB on the second NIC of each server, with cluster name also set to remote.domain.com.

I've configured the Gateway RAP to only allow connection to the RD Server Farm through the DNS RR name, being remote.domain.com, which we have also configured in our local DNS server to point to the RDCB.

Now, when I try to connect through RD Gateway, I sometimes get the below error.
Remote Desktop can't connect to the remote computer "remote.domain.com" for one of these reasons:
1) Your user account is not listed in the RD Gateway's permission list
2) You might have specified the remote computer in NetBIOS format (for example, computer1), but the RD Gateway is expecting an FQDN or IP address format (for example computer1.fabrikam.com or 157.60.0.1).
Contact your network administrator for assistance.

I don't get this error when I open a RemoteApp in the same session.
When I add the farm members (using local server name) individually to the network resources, this works, but then I get the certificate mismatch. (This is also specified on the Network resources tab:Note: if you are using a Remote Desktop Session Host server farm, the name of the farm and the name of each member must be specified in the computer group.)

Name mismatch
Requested remote computer: servername.domain.local
Name in the certificate from the remote computer: *.domain.com

I've searched the internet for days now, but haven't found a solution yet. Or I must be doing something wrong.
Need to note that I've also tried adding the servers to the network resources using a different DNS name (rds01.domain.com, rds02.domain.com), but that doesn't seem to do anything. Then I get the error again (Remote Desktop can't connect...)

Hope I'm missing something here, cause I don't want local server name or IP to be visible.

Hello,

I hope someone can help me. a User has passed me a laptop which is new and everytime they log onto remote desktop the icons are so small infact everything is. the laptop OS is win 8.1 and the remote is WS 2008 R2. I can change it via the laptop screen Resolution but its not idea as the screen doesnt look great. the laptop screen resolution is 3200 x 1800.

Any suggestions would be greatful.

Hello,

I've been working with a Windows 2012R2 server that was thoroughly mishandled by another engineer. this engineer decided it was a good idea to mess with the local profile of the administrator account (among others) and ended up bricking the server practically completely. Some other engineer managed to salvaged what was left by doing an upgrade and making the server somewhat usable. That's where I came in. To initially solve some permission issues but ending up solving a whole host of other issues (Powershell was totally messed up, Powershell remoting didn't work, ServerManager started up but gave errors, and so on ...)

I made it possible again to publish remote apps without it erroring out (renaming the collection was in the process). But now I'm still facing one issue, the remote apps are not visible in the RWeb page. No icons, nothing. I've tripple-checked every setting, permission and whatnot but nothing budges. I've searched the Internet high and low, tried many, many suggestions made in many, many blogs, but I think something is still not working like it should and I can't pinpoint it. I'm also unable for some reason to connect to the rdweb page from another PC, only locally.

The many logs don't shed any light on the situation either. And yes, all this time spent on trying to fix the issue could've been better spent rebuilding the server, but as is often the cause, this is not really possible at the moment.

So I'm looking for some ideas, tips, anything to get me on the path again.Thanks for any help at all!

Hello,

I keep waiting for a hotfix or a cure for an issue we have for quite some time with our Windows 2012R2 RDS Farm. It seems that about 10% of the users are getting logged in on a daily basis with temporary profiles. The UPD store has the correct permissions and everything seems to be setup correctly. Often times the users that are new are not getting a UPD created and instead are using a temp profile. It seems that sometimes we have to go to Edit the Properties of the Collection and turn UPD off click Save and then turn UPD on again and this will have an effect (maybe we are just imagining this).

Anyway we are hoping to continue to use UPD, but we need it to be more reliable.

Thank you

We have two Windows 2008 R2 server as remote desktop servers for clients to access remotely. We use Remote Control to access the client remote session whenever they have a problem.  That works fine. However, since yesterday, we can't remote control one client remote session with this error: Requested session denied remote control.

I have tried two different domain admin accounts. All get the same error. Any suggestions?

With the introduction of H.264 acceleration in RemoteFX/RDS I'm finally trying to replace a handful of ageing workstations with one central server. So far, the testing has been going almost seamlessly. AutoCAD Fusion 360 and some of the editing workflows have been taking advantage of vGPUs. However, I seem to get this problem when using RemoteFX where there are substantial and persistent artifacts on system windows (Start Menu and Settings for example). This wouldn't be an issue if they disappeared quickly but they sometimes persist for 30-45 seconds which really hurts usability.

Any thoughts on cause?

Hi all,

Problem:

Default printer changes every time when connecting to the remote session. Sometimes it sets the client’s local printer as default and sometimes it makes the PDF printer as default. Most clients connecting to the RD server are Macs (via the RD app) and iPads (RDP app for iPads).

Environment:

• Server 2012 R2 running RD gateway
• Authenticating to AD (separate VM)
• Printers: network printers

What I have tried so far:

• Disable printer redirection from the RD app (didn’t work)
• Enable GP Do no set default client printer to be default printer in a session (didn’t work)
• Enable GP Do not allow client printer redirection (didn’t work)
• Set the following registry key (in AD) - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Print\Providers\Client Side Rendering Print Provider RemovePrintersAtLogoff VALUE: 0

Hi,

We have Windows 2012 R2 Servers and having Terminal Services Installed, the proper resource redirection settings is in plance (Drive, Clipboard etc) but still we are not able to copy / paste the files over RDP, when i take RDP of Windows 2012 R2 and trying to copy files from my laptop to server the paste option is always showing as grayed out.

We are able to copy/paste files over RDP on Windows 2008 Server which is located in same OU in Domain where Windows 2012 R2 located, same GPO's are applying on both servers. We have also tried on Physical/Virtual/Domain/Workgroup/Terminal Servers/Non Terminal Services Windows 2012 R2 servers and found same issue.

Please suggest what needs to be check further.

Regards,

SGH.

Hello, 

I am having an issue setting up an RDS deployement on a Windows 2012 R2 Datacenter system. I have tried both deployment type "Quick Start" and "Standard. The session broker, session host, web access are on the same server. 

The error message I am getting: 

Could not create the Windows Management Instrumentation Windows Firewall exception on "Server FQDN".

I've tried the following:

• Verify the Firewall Service is "started" and "on"
• Manually created the firewall exception using the command: netsh advfirewall firewall set rule group="windows management instrumentation (wmi)" new enable=yes
• I've tried installing by PowerShell using command: New-RDSessionDeployment.However, I get the same error message. 
• I've removed the server from the domain and readded it back to the domain
• I've also remove the roles for RDS and rebooted... Many times. :-)

Please help. I have exhausted all my options. :-)

I have been using Remote App for some time to restrict users to specific apps on my Server, but a loophole allows unrestricted access to my entire server for all users, which is a security breach.
I provide an .rdp file connected to the app I want to give access to and use of this .rdp takes the user to the server through the entry of a user ID and password, and opens the specific app only, enabling the user to only see and use the app in question. To open the .rdp given to them they have to have a username and password which I provide. But, if they simply open the Remote Desktop application available through the start menu in windows and enter the IP address of the server and then their provided username and password, it takes them to a new desktop of their own on my server. This is not the way Remote App was supposed to work and I would value any suggestions as to how this can be rectified as it represents a security breach every time someone does this. There should be some method of providing a remote app user ID and password which will not give full desktop access to the server if the given .rdp file is not used and the Windows remote desktop with IP address is used instead.  I discovered this when one of my users lost his .rdp file and attempted to 'work out a solution' himself. He simply went through the Start/Accessories/remote desktop route and added his user details.  He stalled at that point only because the desktop which opened did not have the specific application icon visible! But it will give full unrestricted access to the entire server.

Any ideas on how to prevent this would be appreciated.

Hi,

I have customized my RDweb page with a different way to login. Now it looks like: 

<table width="300" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td id="tdDomainUserNameLabel" width="130" align="right" style="display:none"><%=L_DomainUserNameLabel_Text%></td><td id="tdClaimsDomainUserNameLable" width="130" align="right" style="display:none"><%=L_ClaimsDomainUserNameLabel_Text%></td><td width="7"></td><td align="right"><label><input id="DomainUserName" name="DomainUserName" type="text" class="textInputField" runat="server" size="6" autocomplete="off" value="COMPLURA\"/></label></td><td>@</td><td><select name="domain" id="domain"><option>domain1.local</option><option>domain2.local</option></select></td>

But how do I change the javascript correctly that he takes the username from the first label and than the domainname from the input selector?

Kind regards,

Ruben

3. No Problem on the local windows 7 maschine with SAP Client Gui  behavior

currently Idea´s  of troubleshouting / making SAP Client GUI faster:

1. check this out: http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX127399

2. (but I am not sure whether SAP Client GUI is using JAVA  (increase Java Heap Size http://www.wikihow.com/Increase-Java-Memory-in-Windows-7)

3.looking into PerfMon  Tool and try to generate cinclusion  ( well - I don´t have experience with that)

4. I didn´t know if REMOTE FX would improve the above mentioned problem, I understand not.  (mostly for OPEN GL/Direct X requirements)

5. I didn understand the Tuning Tools of VMware yet.  

What do you suggest?

My Idea:   Waiting for Server 2016 Release and make a new Try. 

our system:  2 x HPE DL380 G8 with EMC Storage and 4 WTS 2008 R2 Server with Broker Service on it.  (each 24 GB RAM and much CPU) (extra SQL Database Server) approx. 50-100 User

Env: 

- Win 2012 R2, with RDS Role added, and Web Access enabled.

- Checked "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp\PortNumber". Port number is already new (not 3389).

Problem: When accessing RmoteApp via Web Access, the downloaded *.rdp file (eg., cpub-javaws-Session-CmsRdsh.rdp) contains the default port # as 3389: "server port:i:3389"

How to change the downloaded *.rdp file's port number?
