Remote Desktop Services 2016 - RDP icon for server collection appearing - when not published

Hi,


Strange issue on my hands...


I created a new collection on our server 2016 RDS farm lets call it 'collection3', then I added a host server, and did nothing else.  


When I go on the RD Web URL (Https://servername.companyname.com/RDWeb) an icon appears that is an RDP icon called 'collection3' which remotes to our broker server!


I have not published any RemoteApps via this collection or configured anything.  When I delete 'collection3' the RDP icon disappears.


I like to know why this icon is appearing? and how to remove it?



(PS - Ive been lurking on here for our 15 years, this is my first ever question however, therefore I cannot add an image of the issue.  I will try when the account is verified)

We have a customer with 4 monitors that connects to a terminal server.  He wants to use 3 of the 4 monitors for the terminal server connection, and keep the 4th monitor for his local computer.  The options we find are one monitor, or all monitors.  How do we connect to the terminal server with 3 of the 4 monitors?  Thank you for your assistance with this.

I have installed RDS licence for 3 users on windows server 2016. None of the licences seem to be assigned when i generate a report. The licencsing server is activated, as is the host server. But it still will try and force another user off when more than one RDS user tries to log in. Also, when i look at the propertied for deployment, it appears that there are 2 liceinsing servers- one with the local name and one with the internal  ip address of the server. Any ideas?

Published App Screen Redraw Issue under Windows 10

July 4, 2018, 6:12 pm

Hi Everyone. We have a published app problem that occurs only under Windows 10. The app has been published from a Server 2012 R2 terminal services environment. The issue presents itself as a failure for the published app to redraw its screen after the user shifts focus to another application and then swaps back again.

Initially the fault presented itself as a Z order display issue, i.e. any dialogue boxes would display behind the published apps foreground / main interface. Clicking on the applications icon in the system tray would cause the dialogue box to come to the foreground. After hours of fault finding, I managed to fix that issue by disabling "Use advanced RemoteFx graphics for RemoteApp" on the Server 2012 R2 Terminal Server using gpedit.msc (in Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Remote Desktop Services -> Remote Desktop Session Host -> Remote Session Environment). I was happy and all seemed fine, but...

Now the fault presents itself as a complete failure to redraw the foreground. This happens after the user has swapped focus from the published app to another app and back again a few times. It does not happen immediately. The app focus is there, as you can still click menu items etc (fun when their location is not drawn) and they will behave normally (i.e. redraw occurs over the display area of the drop-down menu for example). The only way to fix this is to exit the published app and relaunch. It will then work for a while and then the fault repeats.

This issue does not happen in a full terminal services session, only if the app is run as a published app.

If anyone has any ideas to resolve this it would be much appreciated.

The servers must be added to the server pool

Hi,

We've recently moved a client's cloud server to a new data center. The process involved making a backup of the VM in the old environment, and restoring the VM in the new data center environment. This server runs the Remote Desktop Services role on Windows Server 2012 R2.

The migration seemed to go smooth, and the end-users can access their applications using RemoteApp, from any remote location. This particular client has a technical contact, who uses Server Manager on her Windows 10 PC to disconnect users from RDS as and when she needs to.

For some reason, since the migration, if we open Server Manager on the server itself, or on the technical contacts PC, we receive the infamous message:

The following servers in this deployment are not part of the server pool: 
1. [server_name] 
The servers must be added to the server pool.

The thing is, the server IS in fact visible in the list of Servers in Server Manager. I've tried re-adding it using the AD search, using the IP address in the DNS search, and even using the FQDN in the DNS search. All it seems to do is add another instance of the same server to the list of servers, but the above message is persistent and RDS can't be managed from Server Manager.

Has anyone seen this type of odd behavior before?

Remote App Blackscreen, RDP works fine

July 2, 2018, 12:50 pm

I have an external user who connects to a remote app via RdWeb. They had no issue until last week and no changes were made on the terminal servers.

THE ISSUE:

When they launch the remote app, the user gets a black screen if you click details. They can RDP to the server fine (using the Connect to another PC tab in IE).

The mstsc.exe process has to be killed via Task Manager. 

Another user in their office is having no issues.

Things I have tried:

1. Had the user with issues try from the PC of the user without issues. Same problem.

2. Had the user connect to 3 instances of this remote app in 3 different collections. 1 uses User Profile disks. 1 does not and sits on the same network as the previous. 1 does not use profile disks and sits in our DMZ. The user can get a successful connection from the server in the DMZ but the speed is an issue. 

3. Looked for a profile disk for the user on the network share and there was none (the user is in our Guest child domain which is not a 2 way trust), there was no profile disk, but there WAS a profile with the username and .backup on the actual terminal server.

4. Deleted the local user profile on the both internal servers and had the user try again. Same result.

5. Had the user RDP to the server and launch the app and it worked without issue. 

I am thinking it is related to the user's terminal server profile because the issue is repeatable from another user's workstation. However, the user is able to RDP to any of the terminal servers and work fine. 

The difference in the server in the DMZ and the internal servers is that the server in the DMZ uses a different encryption/compression policy. The internal policy forces the encryption level to "low", does not use an encryption algorithm and is set to not require NLA. The server in the DMZ was specifically created with a different encryption policy to resolve a previous issue with external users getting a black screen to the internal servers. The internal servers go through a Cisco WAAS in some cases and the internal policy was set to the recommendations for this setup. 

Keep in mind though, that everything worked fine last week and everything still works fine for everyone except this single user.

Any insight or steps for further troubleshooting would be appreciated.

Licensing without permanent assignments

July 2, 2018, 10:03 pm

We were running a Windows 2008 RDS server which had licenses just as old.

The licensing server crashed and we had to reinstall onto another server.

Before this, with 50 licenses, any random 50 devices could remote in.

There was no revoking necessary, and it never permanently assigned a license to someone's machine.

It would stop that 51st person from logging in simultaneously, but it didn't permanently assign a license to a machine where someone else couldn't log in for lack of licensing when less than the max were concurrently running.

Now, the first 50 people that have logged in are the only devices that can, and some of those devices are home machines, or personal mobile devices (like android and iPad tablets).

Did we install the licensing server incorrectly to make such a thing occur, or is this the way it is?

We need to be able to allow the number of users that we have licenses for to use remote access, and not simply the first 50 that got the 50 licenses.

Is there a way or type of license that allows this?

Is there a way to shorten the expiration time so that devices we can't control do not get licensing.

It is not possible to control what device a user uses to access remote services without adding other layers to the network that defeat our business requirements.

Any help would be appreciated.

RDS HA Database Migration (databasefilepath set wrong)

Hi Everyone,

We need to migrate the RDS Broker HA database from an old SQL server to a new one.  The physical path location will also change.

old server SQL01 (V:\ has the database.mdf)

new server SQL02 (E:\ has the database.mdf)

I've looked at the Microsoft powershell notes, but some of the switches fail to work.  Clientaccessname and databasefilepath

ipmo remotedesktop

get-rdconnectionbrokerhighavailability

set-rddatabaseconnectionstring -connectionbroker "brokerserver.domain.com" -databaseconnectionstring "DRIVER=SQL Server Native Client 11.0;SERVER=newsqlserver;Trusted_Connection=Yes;APP=Remote Desktop Services Connection Broker;DATABASE=DB" -databasefilepath "E:\DB.mdf.mdf" -clientaccessname "brokerha.domain.com"

I have moved the database to the new server, ran the PS command without those two switches and rebooted all brokers.  The old database has been taken offline.  Logins are working fine, and running get-rdconnectionbrokerhighavailability shows the new SQL server.

The only thing which annoys me is the databasefilepath is still set to the old location.  How do I update it?

We just setup a new Windows Server 2016 as a Terminal Server. Our users are able to use Remote Desktop with no issues. However, I am unable to see the connected users in Server Manager. I was able to always view connected users in Server 2008. Should I be looking under Server Manager\Remote Desktop Services\Collections and then look at Connections? Or am I looking in the wrong place? Thank you.

I assumed its the 25 alpha of the OS of a connecting user, but all that i attempt to input fail.

Is it looking for another 25 alpha other than OS, connecting computers are win 7 pro and windows 10.

Server is setup in a workgroup.

When purchased on the last workgroup server in open volume licensing we received one 7  5 alpha character code and the remote desktop licensing accepts that license.

 Any input appreciated

2 or 3 server rds 2016 farm in azure, setup questions

I have a client that is on a single 2012 rds server now in azure using remote apps internally and externally.

We'd like to do two 2016 servers for more redundancy.  Is it possible to install the gateway/connection broker/web/session host roles on both servers and configure for high availability?  Otherwise could we do 2 session hosts and 1 server with the gateway/connection broker/web services on it.  A lot of the examples show 4,6 or more servers but they do not want to pay for that.  Just looking for some ideas here, thanks!

RDS UPD - Found the problem but I do not know how to resolve it.

May 22, 2018, 11:49 pm

Hello,

I am using UPD through my RDS collection. The collection contains :
- 1 RDCB also doing RDWA and RDSH

- 1 other RDSH

I am regulary getting temporary profiles on my second RDSH, only when the credentials are not filled by the user (RemoteApp or saved credentials on the Remote Desktop App).
My collection is used for a RemoteApp.

I think the RDCB mounts the UPD for a very short time and when it redirects on the 2nd RDSH, the UPD has not enough time to be available if the credentials are filled immediatly...

The GPO "Always prompt for password" for RDS is not a good solution as the user has to click on details while the RemoteApp is loading and fills twice his credentials.

Can someone tell me how to resolve it ? Is there a way to delay redirection on the 2nd RDSH ? Or another solution I do not see ?

Thanks in advance,
Best Regards,
Thomas.

2012 R2 RDS Temporary Profile issue

December 30, 2013, 12:40 pm

I have set up a standard 3 node 2012 R2 RDS for testing. All virtualized on VMware ESXi 5.0. I have a connection Broker, session host, and web access server. I have published several applications and I can access them without a problem. Here is my issue:

When I try to log on to my session host server either locally or thru RDP, I am always logged in with a Temporary profile. It does not mater what user account I use. Even logging on locally as the administrator I get a temporary profile.

All windows updates are installed and current.

I have removed the server from the domain, deleted the account, and rejoined it to the domain.

I have deleted all .bak registry entries from here:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList

There is a hotfix here for a similar issue on 2012 but it does not apply to 2012 R2

The only event viewer errors are:

1515 (Windows has backed up this user profile. Windows will automatically try to use the backup profile the next time this user logs on.)

1511 (Windows cannot find the local profile and is logging you on with a temporary profile. Changes you make to this profile will be lost when you log off.)

Any suggestions to resolve would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,

I have a RDS 2016 farm. I want to allow drive redirection for full Remote Desktop but not when users launch any RemoteApps. Is this possible?

All I can see is the redirection options within the session collection properties, but this covers both Remote Desktop and RemoteApps. Can I apply a separate redirection policy that only affects RemoteApps?

Thanks,

on examining event log i see explorer.exe has crashed with event 1000 faulting module ntdll.dll or kernerbase.dll

if i enable crash dumps for these error and analyze with win debugging it always points to twinui.dll.
