2012 R2 Remote Apps & DIsabling SSL V3 TLS 1

$
0
0

Hello everyone,

I'm looking for some guidance on how to disable SSL 3 and TLS 1.0 on a 2012 R2 box acting as a RD Gateway, Connection Broker & Licensing Server.  I have disabled SSL V2 successfully via IIS Crypto. When I disable SSL V3 though my Remote Apps stop working - specifically the connection to the remote desktop host server fails. I didn't try disabling TLS 1.0 yet, as I haven't conquered SSL3. We are using a 3rd party signed SSL cert.

Any have specific experience doing this? 


RDP service down and "access denied" when trying to restart

$
0
0

I cannot connect to my PC via Remote Desktop. Seems the reason for this is that 3389 port is not listened by anyone (as reported by netstat -a -o), and the Remote Desktop Services is not started - which seems to be the problem. 

When I try to start the service, I get "Access denied" Error #5.

The Remote Desktop Service settings list NetworkService account as the one to be used to launch the service. I tried to "update" it in the settings (with no password entered) - however the result is the same.

Please let me know what is the correct way to setup the RemoteDesktop Services service wrt credentials used by it, or what could be other issues with this error.

Thank you!

Hello All,

We are planning to configure one session host server with 16 GB RAM with 4 core processor. We need to publish only MS office basic APPS like word, excel, power point, out look etc. Please help us calculate the session host capacity

  • What is the optimal number of Session per host and What is the Assumption or Rationale behind that
  • How is the Server Sizing calculated and what is the MS reference for that calculation along with assumptions and rationale to arrive at those Sizing
  • What is the Redundancy planned to manage the load during the Server Maintenance / failure?
  • What is the logic to have the Auto scaling enabled ?

Thanks in Advance

Password expired, cannot access to dedicated server through RDP, Windows Server 2016

$

Today I tried to login to my dedicated server (Windows Server 2016) via Remote Desktop and it tells me that my password has expired. However it doesn't allow me to change the password.
The dedicated server is hosted in Canada (Kimsufi/OVH) and I'm in Argentina.
I cannot change the password locally. Also the server seems to be using NLA as I get an error if I try to login with NLA disabled in my client.
Besides RDP the other way I can access the server is through rescue mode (linux).

Is there any way to disable NLA or change my password remotely or from Linux rescue?

Thank you

Client issues related to search indexing

$
0
0

We have a hosted Remote Desktop Services environment running on Server 2016 Standard, and have had no end to issues seemingly caused by the search indexing service. The customer has about 1.8 TB of data that they need indexed (I'm not sure if the amount of data is playing a role in the issues we're having). We are using User Profile Disks for the end users. There are several issues the end users are experiencing when opening/disconnecting sessions:

  • End users get "Remote desktop services temporarily unavailable" errors when trying to open a session
  • End user sessions hang on Signing Out, leading them to disconnect the session and try to open a new one which they are unable to do and thus are unable to access the server
  • Slow performance

At any given time, the above issues are "fixed" if we restart the search indexing service (for a short while until another end user runs into one of the problems again). We are also unable to get the search indexing service to restart gracefully through the Services list, and are almost always forced to use the command line and taskkill to forcefully end the service and let it restart afterward.

We've already made some tweaks to the directories that are included in the indexing, and have excluded most user data from the index except for Outlook data. I can provide additional details if necessary.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated, these issues are starting to drive me up the wall.



Server 2008 R2 logs off users at login

$

We have an issue that just started happening today on our standalone Windows Server 2008 R2. There is no domain it's just using local users and groups when a particular user tries to login it goes through the process and then immediately logs them off before the desktop is reached.

The following errors are logged in the event viewer:

Event ID 5: source: Kernel General{Registry Hive Recovered} Registry hive (file): '\??\C:\Users\username\ntuser.dat' was corrupted and it has been recovered. Some data might have been lost. followed by a event id 7002: User Logoff Notification for Customer Experience Improvement Program

If I setup a brand new user they have the same issue, if I then add the existing user or newly created user to the administrator group they can both logon, remove them from the group and they can no longer logon anymore.

I have run a scandisk, sfc /scannow, rebooted the server, disabled customer experience improvement, If I try to run gpedit.msc I get "Administrative templates encountered an error while parsing incorrect document syntax" I get a half dozen of these before it allows me in. I tried to delete the users profiles and copy over another working users ntuser.dat but that doesn't help. All terminal server licensing is correct and working.

Leaving these users as admins is not a solution for obvious reasons, any ideas?

How to connect to different Collections from the same Web Access server?

$
0
0

I am looking for a way to use a single RD Web Access page to connect to different Collections. Here is what I have.

Session Collection 1 - Application published using farm webapp.domain.com (Five servers)
Session Collection 2 - Remote Desktop published using farm rds01.domain.com (Five servers)
Session Collection 3 - Remote Desktop published using farm rds02.domain.com (Five servers)

Each farm has a different use case and applications, hence the three farms. But I would like users to access any of them by logging into https://web.domain.com/RDWeb.

The farms are using round robin DNS, which could be part of the problem. I did this so if you use mstsc, the computer name points to rds01 which has an A record to all five servers.

The other potential problem could be that I used Set-RDPublishedName on the Connection Broker and changed the name to webapp.domain.com. I did this so the wildcard SSL certificate didn't issue any warnings.

It appears that the published name on the Connection Broker is what the Web Access server uses to launch everything. So instead of Remote Desktop going to RDS01 or RDS02, everything redirects to webapp. If what I am trying to do is possible, what do I need to change?

RDS 2016 HA and SQL

$
0
0

Looking to add HA to an existing RDS 2016 environment for about 50 users. Obviously, for RDS HA, the SQL database becomes a point of failure.

My question has to do with setting up SQL as a cluster as simply as possible, as this is a fairly small RDS environment.  Creating a SQL cluster requires shared storage, so I would like to use SQL 2016 Standard and the SMB shared storage option (avoiding SANs, iSCSI volumes, or even Windows Shared Storage Spaces).  To keep the network as simple as possible, I'd like to have the cluster nodes for SQL also be the SMB file share for the data.

I haven't specifically read that you cannot have a 2 node windows cluster with SQL Standard and an SMB file share installed simultaneously, and the SQL use that SMB share for the databases.  However, I would like confirmation on such a configuration before I spend time on it.

It just seems nutty and a resource overkill, not to mention only adds to the network complexity, to need to create yet another 2 node cluster just for the SMB file share for SQL to use.

Please advise, and thank you in advance.

When try to connect from public network to RDS 2016 environment web page is loaded, but when try to connect on RDP clinet, it will ask for credentials and after that it will connect to remote machine. Error shows as " your computer can't connect to the remote computer because remote desktop gateway server is temporarily unavailable"

When checking on error log found that even id 312 on gateway server

The user "abc@xyz.com", on client computer "xx.xx.xx.xx:2985", has initiated an outbound connection. This connection may not be authenticated yet.

I tried the registry key fix recommended for 2012 server (HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa) and (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\TerminalServerGateway\Config\Core) but no joy. It did not work for 2016 server. Please help.


RDS on 2012 R2 and using only TLS 1.2

I have a requirement to disable TLS 1.0 and 1.1 on my RDS server but every time that I disable TLS 1.0 I cannot remote into the server. I see some patches that were released for 2008 R2 to make it work but I am not finding anything on 2012 R2

Windows Server 2012 R2 - lost RD "Installed RDS Per Device CAL" licenses.

$
0

Greetings.

I work in an industrial facility, where we have several devices connected via RDS to a VM running Server 2012 R2. 

This Monday (7/30/2018) a technician had to cycle power on one of the devices (a thin client) and when it rebooted it would not reconnect as normal.  This failure stopped production for nearly three shifts - which is pretty significant.

The Event Log entry said "RDP: No valid license available".  I logged on to the server and found that ALL of the licenses in the "Installed RDS Per Device CAL" group were gone - the group was empty - and that all the devices were now showing up in the "Temporary RDS Per Device CAL" group.  All the devices licensing in the temporary group were also expired.

After working with MS clearinghouse folks, I was able to figure out how to deactivate and reactivate the license server - and install new licensing - but I am now obligated to tell my management how we can prevent this from happening again.

So, my problem statement is something like: "At some point in early April (or late March", we 'lost' the retail purchase "Installed RDS Per Device CAL" licenses - and so, all the devices switch to temporary licenses.  When those temporary licenses expired, we were vulnerable to losing connection - should power be cycled on one of the devices.  We did, eventually cycle power on one of the devices - which shut the system down.

So, I am reaching out to Microsoft to help determine why the licenses just "disappeared".

Thank you!!!!


Remote Desktop App with Azure AD

It seems that I am unable to connect to a computer on my network with the Remote Desktop App (trusted Windows Store App on my Windows Laptop or from the iOS App store on my iPhone), while I am able to connect successfully to it from Remote Desktop Connection (old Windows app).

The remote computer is joined to Azure AD (Windows 10 Pro, up to date; again, this works from the old Remote Desktop Connection application on Windows).

Can anyone tell me if connection to a machine joined to Azure AD is supported on the Remote Desktop App or if there is something I need to do to configure it properly?

Thanks.
