Corrupt Windows 2012 RDS Basic Color Scheme

January 4, 2017, 4:30 am

We have one Windows 2012 R2 server that has been functioning fine up to a couple of weeks ago.  After a reboot the screen colors went haywire.  It seems somehow the “Windows Basic” color scheme got corrupted. Black text becomes yellow text. White backgrounds become black backgrounds. The right-hand scroll bar becomes black with white outline. And in some cases white text will replace black text on a white background, rendering the window contents invisible.

Following a number of suggestions online I have been able to get this server back where users can use it.  What I have read online indicates that a reboot (due to MS Updates or whatever other reason) could cause this corruption again.

What I want to know - has MS come out with a permanent fix for this issue?  Just because the basic color scheme gets corrupted is no reason to have to reload a server (one suggestion I found online).  As I see things, this should be a situation like installing a new updated graphics driver to fix a resolution issue. 

What about it MS?  Care to pipe in with your thoughts on this matter? 

What does the community have to say?  I am hoping you tell me there is at least a hot fix for this.

Thanks

Can't change RDWeb password for non-admin accounts

I have enabled the password change option for Remote Desktop Web Services in Server 2008 R2 and applied the necessary hotfixes. I can change admin passwords, but am unable to change any user/non-admin passwords. When I do, I get the following error message:

Your new password does not meet the length, complexity, or history requirements of your domain. Try choosing a different new password.

No matter how complex I make the password, it still gives me that error. I understand that I may be able to change the "Password must meet complexity requirements" group policy option, but is that the only way? Even then, why wouldn't a very secure password work for non-admin accounts?

Hello,

Can we use high availability with two servers.

one server hold All RDS server roles(Licence, Session host, Connection Broker, Gateway).

I referred on Internet for guidance. But most articles have provided details to use two or more server for one RDS role.

It's high cost solution and most of organization consider cost effective solution.

If anyone know best cost effective solution, Please provide that.

Local Drive not available through RDP

hello

setup as follows:

1 x windows 2012 r2 server acting as RDS

1 x windows 2012 r2 server acting as RDG

same subnet

gpo acting on RDS but only computer config - admin templates - windows components - terminal services - terminal server - device and resource redirection -- do not allow com port redirection, do not allow smart card device redirection and do not allow supported plug and play device redirection

RDG has CAP that allows device redirection for all client devices

however, when i connect to the RDS from my windows 10 machine (via the RDG), no local drives have been redirected.

also, if i log onto the main File server then from that, rdp to the RDS directly, still no redirected drives.

yes, i've checked that drives are checked on the remote desktop client.

any ideas?

Hi guys, 

Struggling to find information on how to enable verbose logging so we can see a Connection Broker redirections happening  in a 2012 R2 RDS farm - in the past someone has enabled it on two of the four CB servers (HA), but we'd like to know how to enable it on the other 2 as we need to plan to migrate to new servers soon and would like to see the connections being redirected to confirm successful migration. 

Specifically looking to generate 

Microsoft-Windows-TerminalServices-SessionBroker-Client

ID: 1307

Remote Desktop Connection Broker Client successfully redirected the user %1\%2 to the endpoint %3. 
Ip Address of the end point = %4

Any help would be appreciated.

unable to establish outbound RDP connections from server 2008 R2 using TS 5 cals

January 7, 2017, 11:15 am

I have a 2008 R2 server that has been running for years.  I can RDP into this server and have Terminal Services running nad have 5 people who RDP into this server everyday without any problems.  Lets call this server A

I am trying to connect from this server to another remote server called B.  But RDP does not work.  It will try to connect for about a minute and then return an error saying "try connecting again, if the problem continues, contact the owner of the remote computer .... ".

I then tried to connect via RDP to various other servers, say C, D and E, but no outgoing RDP connection is established.  Whereas these remote servers are working because form my laptop, or any other machine in the office (behind the same firewall / router, using the same IP), I can easily RDP into machine B,C,D or E. So there is nothing blocking outgoing connection on my office router/firewall and the remote machines have no issues accepting incoming RDP connections.

I turned OFF windows firewall for all (domain, public, private) but nothing.  The server is a standalone and not part of a domain.

So the only problem is that I cannot make outbound RDP connections from this server 2008, whereas I can easily establish incoming (connect to this server) via RDP.

Does anyone have any suggestions how I can fix this?

Thanks

Local Profile, AD - Remote Desktop Service Profiles

Hi Techies,

I am working on solution, where i am stuck. Please help me

The requirement is there are two windows 2008 r2 Terminal servers, and both server c drive space is 300 GB.

There are 300 users log in everyday for their routing work.

Now C drive is getting full, as we can see there are many users folders are in c:\users\ folder and we are clearing users profile from c: users\leftuser folder or any thing which is not required under users profiles.

We have mapped the profile from remove desktop service profiles for all the users. Given shared Profile  folders so that any server they log in, they should get profile correctly.

But even we have mapped the path in AD, in c driver c:\users\ folders are getting created.

Is this functionality is by default by Windows, or there is alternate way to move these folders to different drive as my c drive is getting full or user profile should not get created on c:\users folder, as we have mapped in AD profile.

If we can move then whether on production server we can make these changes

AD Profile Screenshot

Root drive profile path

 Question is even remove service profile set. and when you login to terminal server it will create user profile under c:\users folder and get sync with remote service profile path.

I do not want user folder to be created under c:\users folder when i have remote service profile path set.

Can a single RD Gateway server "front" multiple separate/distinct RDCB/Web/RDSH deployments?

January 11, 2017, 4:48 am

As the title indicates...I'm curious about the capabilities of RDG.  Here is my hypothetical situation:

Let's say I have an existing 2012 R2 RDS deployment (including Gateway) that is functioning as MS intends.  Certificates are all in place, etc. etc. etc.  Clients have no problem accessing RDSH sessions, RemoteApps, etc.  The setup is essentially totally "vanilla".  Life is good.

Now...I have a new system to put in place which relies on the RDS stack.  The new system requires that a plugin be installed in Connection Broker which modifies default load balancing behavior.  I would prefer to not install this into my current RDS stack that's working so beautifully.  But I'd also rather not have to deploy a second RD Gateway, etc.

So, is there a *supported* way to utilize my existing RD Gateway to route incoming client sessions to both the existing RDS setup and a "new" RDS setup (presumably consisting only of RDSH servers, a connection broker and RD Web)?  FWIW I have looked for docs from MS that speak to this but can't find any.

I want to know using windows TS, what can be the max # of simultaneous session supported by a single TS.

I have a solution which is sized by TS, 5000$ for a single TS, with 2100 users and standard support to be 50 / TS I would require 42. That would be too costly.

I want to know using a high performance machine with xeon server 32 GB RAM would make any difference?

heavy degradation of DirectDraw write performance on 2012 R2 compared with 2008R2 SP1

Hi,

I am dealing with IT architecture design aspects for a 2D application operated typically with RDP sessions 

That application does heavy directdraw activity and we've seen that drawing a simple picture with MFC DC.paint methods takes 1200 ms with Windows 2008R2 RDP session and 3000 ms with 2012 R2 RDP session.

Higher level tests show a heavy dependency on screen size too... 1024x768 does not cause any issue at all when moving, zooming or drag&drop of some graphical objects. Here we can measure it with a generic picture that the virtual graphic card of terminal services in Server 2012 R2 is slower... compared with Server 2008R2 SP1. But the usability on "small screens" were not complained.

However users have also 21:9 screens with the dimensions 2580x1048 and there is heavy lag when zooming into a picture or draw  a  new one. It is not color depth degradation - the virtual screen size is 32 MB by default and the screen would require only 11 MB.

So what else could I check?

What I need to make each user access his desktop with all the published application so he can use them with no dependenceon his work computer. So he can access the same "desktop" from home or from other country. We don't want to publish only apps we want to publish the whole desktop which hosted on the cloud. We  have groups of users (maximum 30 for each) and we want to enable remote desktop access for each group. We have subscription for each user on office 365 and we want to allow these users to access their desktop.

Remote Session to allow a user to execute 2 specific processes

Greetings,

this is a general question. I have a windows server 2012, running weblogic server on it. It is logged in as administrator and the weblogic application is running on the back. I want to give access to a user, to logged in with remote connection and the session will show 2 applications. The purpose of this is, i want a non administrator user, to be able to execute stop-server.ps1 which is terminating my weblogic server, and start-server.ps1 which is starting my weblogic server. Some times the weblogic server needs to be stopped (not forcefully, that's why i have a script for that), and start again since i will not always be able to do it my self. The user should not be able to interact with the server, but only execute this 2 scripts. How can this be achieved?

Thanks in Advanced for your help.
