Windows 2012 R2 RDS Broker's Load balance does not work after install 3rd party application
Hi Support,
Before I installed 3rd party application in each RDS session hosts, I had configured RDS Collection successfully.
What I say "successfully" is that brokers distribute session evenly into session hosts. Then I checked all the setting are corrected.
Besides review the configuration, How to troubleshooting the RDS Farm load balance issue ?
Thank you.

2008 R2 DC coexisting with 2016 DC
Hello
We are planning to upgrade our environment to Windows Server 2016. Our environment is big and we need to do it step by step.
Today we have 2 2008 R2 DC. My plan is to remove the backup DC (uninstall the DC role) and then reinstall the server with 2016 and add the DC roll to it again.
It needs to coexist with our Windows server 2008 R2 DC.Because we have a lot of Terminal server on Windows Server 2008 R2 and i think that the GPO settings inn server 2016 will be different then what it is inn 2008 R2. So i fear that if i upgrade both of our DC to 2016 i will get problem on our 2008 R2 terminal servers environment.
After the new 2016 DC is up and running, I want to start making a new 2016 terminal server environment and move user from our old Terminal server running 2008 R2 over to the new one running 2016.
Is this the right way to do this task or is there a better way to do it? I need to do this without disrupting anything for our users.

Assigning 2012 RDS user CAL licenses fails - nesting 'terminal server license servers' group
My 2012 terminal server license servers are a member of a global security group called TS License Servers. This group is then a member of the builtin Terminal Server License Servers group.
Licenses are NOT being assigned to users and causing the error "The Remote Desktop license server cannot update the license attributes for user "mark foo" in the Active Directory Domain "internal.thecloudguy.info". Ensure that the computer account for the license server is a member of Terminal Server License Servers group in Active Directory domain "internal.thecloudguy.info".
As soon as i make the server a direct member of the group, the error goes away.
I could not find any documentation that suggests nested groups are not supported. Is this a bug? I require this functionality because i need to add license servers dynamically to the Terminal Server License Servers group across multiple trusted forests. License servers will be added to the one group that will already be a member of the builtin group in each domain.

Anyway to do a Client Health Check before allowing RDS connection in Server 2016?
I remember reading about being able to do a health check on non domain joined client computers before allowing them to connect to RDS in 2008. Has anyone found away to do this in 2016/2012R2? 2016 mainly.

RDS CAL per user license and CAL license
Hello!
I have few questions about RDS CAL per user licensing and i cannot find any strict answer about how should it be.
How RDS CAL per user license usage looks like? Should every physical user have their own RDS CAL license or maybe every RDS account should have their RDS CAL license?
What if i have for example 2 physical users, and i have 1 RDS account, and they are both using the same RDS account but not in the same time. Should i have 2 RDS CAL licenses or 1?
How the situation looks like when i have 2 physical users with 2 RDS accounts but one of them quit a company. Do i need to buy a new RDS CAL license for new physical user or the new user can get the license of the user who quit?
How the situation looks like for non RDS licenses, just CAL license with remote desktop. For example i want to use remote desktop to connect to the server to do some administration things. Do i need RDS CAL or normal CAL is enough? What about other users? I don't need RD Service just remote desktop. Can i just use remote desktop with CAL or i have to buy RDS CAL?
Best regards.

Microsoft recommended design for publishing RemoteApp only to internet
Requirement : Remoteapp only to be published to internet with SSO- using Server 2012 RS / 2016
Without RD gateway
1. Do we need a RDGateway still or can we manage with only RD Webaccess role . i.e. Reverseproxy (from DMZ) just RDS WebAccess (internal domain joined network)
If RD gateway is required
2. Forest trust model: One-way trust between the perimeter network AD DS and the internal network AD DS. RDG is joined to perimeter AD DS.
Does it work? researched to find "RD Gateway is not supported in one-way forest trust AD DS model. This is because RD Gateway wont be able to check for user group membership in RAP. Hence one gets a RAP failure with domain user." your feedback pls
3. Extended corporate forest model: Can we leverage ADFS already in DMZ/perimeter, instead of allowing ports from DMZ to internal AD or even placing RODC
Is it possible?any article which can be referred
Best recommended Design on RDSGateway/RDS Webaccess placement
4. Like Lync Edge server which is in DMZ and on workgroup .Has there been any improvement on server 2016 RDS Gateway which can work on workgroup?
or for SSO do we still have a dependency RDS Gateway to be Internal AD DS joined
5. Currently Best RDS design from what I could gather seems to have all RDS farm internal AD DS joined and in internal network.Have DMZ Reverseproxy pass on the traffic to RD Gateway.Is there a better approach that I am missing
(most of the articles are'nt updated I still find is on majorly referring to server 2008 R2 ,very few on 2012,almost none on 2016.)
Your suggestion is greatly valued

Whats the difference between a Published RemoteApp and an unpublished RemoteApp?
I'm using Server 2012 R2 and I've noticed the option under "Tasks" to "Publish RemoteApp Program" and "Unpublish RemoteApp Programs". What are the differences?
Also how do I allow a published RemoteApp to be accessible to a desktop PC within my network? Currently everything is accessible through the RD Web Access portal but I would like some apps to be accessible to a workstation on their desktop within my network without having to login into the portal to access the RemoteApp. I remember there was a way to do this on Server 2008 but I can't remember how. Suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Ryan

Win Server 2012r2 Remote Desktop Stops working after a day!
I have a Poweredge T110 that I have loaded server 2012 r2 on. it is NOT configured as a Domain Controller, DNS, or anything other service except HyperV. I have 1 Virtual server in Hyperv I am testing. After about 24 hours of being up, the 2012r2 server no longer responds to Remote desktop request......My client (windows 10) says it is not there (I connect by ip) all computers in my home are static ip. I am 100% sure remote desktop is turned on in the settings. When it starts to act this way I can reboot the server and I can connect to it for about another 24 hours. The server shows no errors and it is still connected to the internet even while it is denying RDP from my internal network. All machines are on the same subnet and I have the firewall turned off (just for testing). I wanted to keep this a headless server but it appears 2012r2 doesn't want to play.
Anyone have any idea what this could be? I always make sure I LOGOUT instead of disconnect. While its not such a big deal for me to reboot my server, I can't see a company or a corp IT office constantly having to take a server down for reboot everyday..

Server 2012 RDS - User Profile Disks - Errors during Logoff
I have set up a test Server 2012 RDS collection (Single Server for now) and implemented User Profile disks.
I have two problems.
First: My generic test user can connect and does successfully use the user profile disk as expected. However, atlogoff, the system event log contains these errors:
The error (NTFS 137) is: The default transaction resource manager on volume C:\Users\ts3.test encountered a non-retryable error and could not start. The data contains the error code.
The warning (NTFS 50) that concerns me is:
It appears that the user profile disk is being "disabled" or "disconnected" before the profile data is completely written at logoff. What can I do to troubleshoot this?
Second:
Update: A post from Mike Connor on the following page: -LINK- solved
the problem described below.
My administrative user always logs on now with a temporary profile. At the beginning, the UPD was working and mounting. That stopped working. In attempting to troubleshoot, I logged the admin user off and deleted the UPD disk file from the share. I remember it working again after generating a new UPD disk file in the share. Soon, it quit working again. I deleted the UPD disk file again from the share and ever since, it has never regenerated a new UPD andalways logs on with a temporary profile.

An authentication error has occured (Code: 0x607)
Hi all,
This one is driving me NUTS! The problem itself is when I go to connect to a session host using a web access server I get the error in the title. This is only happening to some of my session hosts and not all. I have compared them and can't find a single difference. I also cant find anything useful in the event logs about this. Below is my setup.
A full RDS environment using all Windows Server 2012 Data Center. Nothing 2008 R2. All Clean installs.
I have 6 servers a VM's split evenly between 2 ESXi 5.1 Hosts.
1. MP-RDP-CB1.inucoda.net (Connection Broker 1)
2. MP-RDP-CB2.inucoda.net (Connection Broker 2)
3. MP-RDP-GW1.inucoda.net (Gateway Server 1)
4. MP-RDP-GW2.inucoda.net (Gateway Server 2)
5. MP-RDP-WA1.inucoda.net (Web Access Server 1)
6. MP-RDP-WA2.inucoda.net (Web Access Server 2)
inucoda.net is an network that is the Domain that all servers are joined to via 2 Domain Controllers splits between each ESXi Host.
My outside domain that you can get to from the web is ucoda.net
The connection brokers have all servers used including session hosts added to the server pool and are configured in HA mode. They use a SQL Server 2012 Fail-over cluster that is on a separate set of VMs for their database and the DNS is configured as round robin. MP-RDP-CB.inucoda.net. There are two entries of this each with one of the two IPs of the CB1 and CB2 servers.
On each CB server there is a RDS License server role installed with CALs installed and activated/registered. Both LIC servers have been added to the RDS deployment properties.
The GW servers each have the NLB role installed with an extra network adepter for NLB use. There is a DNS name of MP-RDP-GW.inucoda.net that points to the NLB IP of the GW Cluster. Also both GW servers were added to the GW Server Farm part of the the
GW properties.
The WA servers are also in a NLB Cluster with an extra adapter and a DNS of MP-RDP-WA.inucoda.net pointing to the NLB IP.
Up steam from our inside Windows Domain at our ISP level there is a DNS entry of MP-RDP-WA.ucdoa.net and it points to the NLB IP of the WA NLB Cluster. (This is not a public IP, we require you be on our VPN to be able to access the IP).
For certificates we have a Comodo issued wildcard of *.ucoda.net with the corresponding Comodo Root Trust and Intermediate Certs. We also have a wildcard *.inucoda.net created by our inside CA.
The *.inucoda.net cert is used for the CB SSO, CB Publishing, and GW while the *.ucoda.net cert is used for the WA.
All session hosts have been configured to use the *.inucoda.net for their RDP sessions.
I can confirm that the *ucoda.net cert is used for the WA part and all other parts are reporting the *inucoda.net, all with no errors or warnings.
For each session collection only one session host is used with no apps, (just RDP). Security is set to only use NLA, SSL 1.0, High.
On each session host I have verified that the *inucoda and *ucoda certs are installed and the internal CA and Comodo CA/Intermediate CA is installed in the correct stores. I have also verified that COM Security has the domain\TS Web Access group set with full perms for the Access and Launch/Activation. Also for WMI Root\CMIV2\TermicalServcies Security has the domain\Ts Web Access group set with full perms. Lastly each group/user that has access to RDS is listed in the Remote Desktop users.
I've checked that both WA servers are listed in the TS Web Access group.
The GW servers RAS/RAP policies are set to be pretty open for testing with using any port, any network resource, and Domain Users and Domain Admins listed.
I have been trying to connect with Windows 8 and Windows 7 clients as the domain\administrator account. Some of my session hosts connect fine and other don't . It's always the same ones that connect and don't connect. I can't find any difference between the. I've also blown away my entire RDS and started over with just a 3 server single node model with no NLB or RR DNS and the same exact error happens on certain servers. I have sense gone back to the 6 server setup described here and again the same error on the same session hosts.
I have also tried Negotiate and RDS Compatible and disabling NLA only for security. No change. Now here is the interesting part. If I remove GW servers from RDS by just saying not to use them (not actually uninstalling them or anything), all session hosts connect just fine every time. When I first did my RDS setup I got he same error with code 0x607 for every connection attempt and found i had to set the RAS/RAP to use any network resource instead of Domain Computers. However, it is currently set like that and some still don't connect. So it works with out the GW servers just fine. It also works without them in the 6 node setup as well as the 3 node setup.
I don't want to use it without the GW servers because since I am using all inside subnets with a VPN I have to add the CB IP/Name to my host file or it will not resolve and give an error about reaching the Connection Broker. Because I want to use a HA setup this is no good as there are two servers for it. That's why I use the NLB IP of the WA and publish it with outside DNS with our ISP.
Any ideas at all??
Thanks,
Chris
