Word settings not saved in RDS environment with redirected folders and roaming profiles

$
0
0

We have two Remote Desktop Server session hosts running Windows Server 2012 R2. We have group policies applied to the session hosts redirecting folders and creating roaming profiles on a network file share (one share for redirected folders, one for roaming profiles). Both sessions hosts are running the Click-to-Run version of Office 2013 through Office 365. Users are unable to save many settings in Word. For example:

* The window size for Word always reverts to the same (too small) size every time Word is closed.

* Advanced options for Track Changes cannot be saved from one session to the next (e.g. the width of the comments panel)

* Changes that should be saved to normal.dotm, such as the font for Normal style, are not saved.

In fact, if I rename normal.dotm in %appdata%\Microsoft\Templates, Word does NOT create a new one. I checked to see if there might be a workgroup template, but there is no file location listed for workgroup templates in Options > Advanced > File Locations.

Some Word settings ARE saved from session to session. For example, if I remove an add-in from Word, it will stay removed.

The redirected folders and roaming profiles generally are working. For example, any changes I make to the desktop on session host 1 appear if I connect to session host 2.

It doesn't seem to be permissions-related, as I have no trouble modifying the contents of %appdata%\Microsoft\Templates (i.e. \\server\share\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates) or even the registry (HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Word\Data).

The implementation of redirected folders and roaming profiles is relatively new in this organization. I am pretty sure we were not having this problem when we had only a single session host and local profiles, but I am not 100% certain that the problem happened as soon as we added the second session host and the group policy.,


Allowing a admin user to edit a Office 2007 Access Database when anothe ruser has it open on Terminal server Windows 2008r2

Hi all,

Sure there is a simple answer to this, but cannot find it.

Our situation is on a server running Windows 2008r2 Standard on a Virtual drive linked to SBS Server 2008.

Running Office 2007 Pro. Logged into server using Remote Desktop connection.

If I as a admin user of server and I seem to have all admin rights ( from what I can see)  under Active Directory Users and Computers.

If I open up our Access 2007 database which is split between a backend and front end. I cannot change , well save any changes I may make to a report for example, as another user on server has it open.

Should I be looking in server's users rights area or is this within Office 2007 Access itself?

Hope the above makes sense.

Thanks in advance

Phil

Block re-directing the printer to remote user's workstation default printer

$

We have two processing servers running on Windows 2008 R2 as RD servers. The users login the RD servers to run an application and then send print jobs to defauld printer on the RD server. The problem is the print job will be sent to remote workstation default printer if the user enable Printers on the RDP Local Resource.

Is there a way to block the remote user re-direct the printer to their workstation default printer even if they check Printers on the RDP Local Resource?

Pre-fill domain name before username when changing passwords - RDWeb Server 2008 R2

$

Hi All,

Have a question regarding the passwords.aspx file for our TS server running Windows 2008 R2. I installed this hotfix so that our users can change passwords for their AD account without having to ask us to do it manually every time as we have network level authentication enabled.

Is there a way to pre-fill the username box with the domain name when changing a password on RDWeb as every time we have users stating that every time they try to change their passwords they cant as the username box doesn't prefill the domain name?

Only if they manually put in the domain name before their username do they then change their password without any issues. I would like this to be pre-filled. Is there a way to do this?

Many thanks and all help is much appreciated as always.

Good Morning!

I would like to apply a software which needs OpenGL software support using rdp. I've already tested this software on Windows 2012R2 Standard over RDP and it worked properly.

So, I'd like to ask, is there any difference in connection with the remote dektop services between Windows 2012R2 Standard and Windows 2012R2 Foundation versions?

Thanks in advance!

Allow a Specific User to open RDP Session on Terminal Server from Only a Specific Computer

$

Hello,

Is it possible to don't let a specific user to open an RDP session on TSE from any copmputer he wants, but only from specific computers. The same way we can restrict an AD user from logon to specific computers ?

Exemple: I've got a bunch of users that could open a remote session on one of Terminal Servers from any computer they wants to, from inside or outside our network. That's great. But I would like that one of these users let's say John can be able to open his remote session on the same server only from one specific computer let's say PC01 and not from anywhere else.

Thank you

We are serving up an application via RDS.  Windows users and Mac users both receive certificate errors when logging on.  This is particularly bothersome for Mac users that are obliged to enter their credentials twice to affect connection.  

The cert error: (anonymously)

Name mismatch

Requested remote computer: farm.barndoors.local <server name.local domain name.local>

Name in the certificate from the remote computer: farmaccounting.agriculturesales.com <severalias in RDS. our Internet domain name.com>

Certificate errors: The following errors were encountered while validating the remote computer's certificate: The server name on the certificate is incorrect.

We have an SSL certificate hosted by GoDaddy.  RDS management indicates that the SSL cert is good.

Will using the Change published FQDN for Server 2012 Cmdlt allow me to correct this error?

Please, all help is very much appreciated...thank you

RDP (Remote Desktop) to Windows 10 without passwords not possible anymore. Bug or feature?

$
0
0

After upgrading two of my machines to Windows 10 (Education N clean install and Pro N upgrade from Win8.1), I was not able to set up Remote Desktop as I was used to since Windows 7 (maybe this was possible before, too).

I am used to configure Windows to allow RDP connections as a user without password (home usage only). Apparently this is not working anymore after upgrading to Windows 10. (I have enabled this by modifying secpol.msc 's security policies. Further informations provided if needed).

With the "no password" setup i get immediatly disconnected by the local machine which seems to auto login by itself after connecting via RDP. The only solution I managed to find so far was to set up a password. 

Is this a bug or a feature?

Cheers

Getting the below error, every time i am connecting to a Win7 PC, (which doesn't use a password).

A critical system process, C:\WINDOWS\system32\lsass.exe, failed with status code c0000409.  The machine must now be restarted.

This only happens on my win10 surface pro3 tablet, and is pretty inconvenient, as it is pretty consistent. I can't stop the PC from restarting.

Hi.

There is Powershell cmdlet Set-RDSessionHost.

What is required permissions to run it? Whether it could be successfully run without 

administrative permissions (user is not member of Administrators group on RD Connection Broker and

RD Session Host)?

Is there some document where minimal/required permissions needed for

Powershell cmdlets are discribed?

We have a application on a terminal server (A) that is licensed by computer name only, we need to access this terminal server app via a our secure terminal server (B) the problem is that every connection has the same client/computer name.

Has anybody managed to either change the computer name of the terminal session (B) or pass/change the computer name when connecting to a terminal server (B). I hope this makes sense.

Cheers, Paul.



Remote Desktop Connection to the VM pool fails in external network

$

Hi,

I recently setup a RDS on a lab environment. I can successfully create the virtual desktop collections and can access the web access, VMs internally. However, when I uses external network (outside the lab) to access the VMs, it gives me an error:
"Your computer can't connect to the remote computer because an error occurred on the remote computer that you want to connect to. Contact your network administrator for assistance."

Note that I can access it without problem inside the lab network. A router is connected through the lab network and external network. I already set up port forward on 443, 80, 3389 to the connection broker server (which also has the role RD Gateway).

I can access the RD Web access page and login in the external network. However, when I click on one of the VMs, the above message appears. I cannot identify the issue with the above error. Could anyone give me some advice on this situation?

Thanks

Hello,

I currently have the issue in title, my RDS hosts are fully updated Windows 2012 R2. All my PCs are Windows 7 with SP1, most of them are 32 bits and some of them 64.

I tried to download this hotfix: support.microsoft.com/en-ca/kb/2862019 but the link is broken. Is it because it's already included in an update? If so, which one?

Thanks,

_Menu_ Font Scaling in Remote Desktop 2008 R2

$
0
0

KB277551 (which includes kb2726399) is already installed.

Remote Desktop: 2008 R2 fully patched and up to date. Desktop Experience IS installed

Clients: Windows 10 (full HD)

Issue: Published applications (NOT remote desktop!)

What does NOT work: publishing control panel to users and allowing the user to adjust the font scaling from 100% to 125% or 150%, logging out, waiting for the session to close fully and logging back in. (That detail was just in case someone says "wait for the session to be cleared before logging back in"!)

Question: How to allow configure the system so that the Menu font size is readable? Screenshots with 100% scaling. NOTE: The same problem is for all MS apps, I just used a command prompt as an example. (In case someone says it's a third party problem.)



Screenshot with 150% scaling. NOTE: I =t does have an effect, just not on the font size!



Please don't take this as ungrateful, but rather than a link to kb2726399, I'm hoping someone out there haspersonally actually resolved this issue.

TIA

We are running TS-Gateway on Server2008 R2 with an Remote desktop session host farm of three Server 2008R2 servers.

On the gateway server i'm seeing eventid errors code 5605 WMI with the

The root\cimv2\TerminalServices namespace is marked with the RequiresEncryption flag. Access to this namespace might be denied if the script or application does not have the appropriate authentication level. Change the authentication level to Pkt_Privacy and run the script or application again.

Also we are using SCOM 2007 R2 on all servers for monitoring, but this event occurs only on this server, i've checked the following articlehttp://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc727103(WS.10).aspx but i cannot find what script or process is causing the error. Also there is very few information about this event, is there anyone with the same experience?
