Hi,
I want to enable and disable clipboard redirection for a single user if 2 users are created in remote desktop services. I tried the method of group policy editor but it enables for all users. Please help me on this.

Hi
I have a 2012 rds cal server and would like to know if it possible to use then on a 2016 server?
Thank you
one of my colleagues made the installation oft he RD Licenseserver with phone registration but in ours case we had to use normal mode. So we can enter the amount of licenses manually.<o:p></o:p>
We have to do that because we had a campus aggreement. <o:p></o:p>
Is that possible and without interruption of user connections ?<o:p></o:p>
Thanks Sven<o:p></o:p>
I am having an issue with my RD Gateway deployement where the only users shown connected through the Gateway server in collections are admin users connected directly to the gateway server. Users connecting externally to their workstations are not show under
session collections but are shown as being connected in the RD Gateway Manager. There is some functionality in the session collections manager that I would like to use. Is there a solution for this and/or am I doing something wrong? I will note that we are
running a single Windows Server 2016 installation with a single session collection. Thanks in advance.
Hi,
We use a single RDS license 2012R2 server with our Citrix XenDesktop setup. We wish to switch from Device to User Cals. How would this be achieved? Just a single GP with the setting enabled and User selected and then applied to the RDS license server or is their more to it than that?

Hello All,
We have two web servers in our deployment ( 2016 RDS Web) configuration. Initially i was able to access internally using https://Webserver1.domain.com/rdweb. and https://webserver2.domain.com/rdweb. But when i had a pool in F5 ( with the both web servers as pool members) and redirecting the route should go to either of the Web servers RD web portal but It's not happening.
Please Suggest.
Hi all
I have a question regarding a Remote Desktop Server Gateway. We want a user to be able to take over sessions from other users that are connected to the Remote Desktop Server in order to support. But we would like to only give him rights to do that. Is this possible?
I added the user to be able to access the RDSGW via mstsc. When he goes to Servermanager he doesn't have rights to see the collections or take over user sessions.
If this is possible how would I need to go about it?
thanks in advance for any help! It is greatly appreciated!

We have users which using windows 10 machines and windows 7 machines. If their domain password is expired, while they RDP terminal server they get prompt to set the new password. This function is working from windows 7 machine but its not working from windows 10 machine.
Also for new users, user must change password at first login is working while users trying to RDP to Terminal server from windows 7 machine but from windows 10 machine its not working. Getting error as contact your system administrator.
We've implemented some automatic printer connections to a Windows network print server (via AddPrinterConnection Windows API) into our RemoteApp application immediately after it launches, not unlike a login script. In other words, when users launch the RemoteApp, it automatically connects their various \\ps1\printer1, \\ps1\printer2 priners based on who they are and only if they are missing.
What I've discovered is that sometimes AddPrinterConnection fails with error 3012 (0xbc4) No printers were found. After some playing around, I'm convinced that this is a collision between my calls to AddPrinterConnection and the automatic client printer redirection that occurs when a user connects to a RDHS, which happens in parallel with the launch of the RemoteApp application (this can be witnessed by quickly opening the Devices and printers control panel applet). If I introduce a delay, there are no more 3012 errors, thus confirming my suspicions. As some users have many printers and some have none or few, and some printers take much longer than others to redirect, a fixed delay would have to be large to accommodate all scenarios.
How can I detect when the automatic client printer redirection (which is necessary and cannot simply be disabled) completes? It occurs to me that I could look for DrvInst.exe processes, and wait until there are none before I attempt my own AddPrinterConnection calls, but this seems sloppy. For starters, one user could be delayed by the DrvInst.exe processes of another user, since they are owned by SYSTEM and I cannot tell which user's printers are being redirected. I've also noticed that userinit.exe starts upon launching a RemoteApp and eventually terminates, though it does not re-launch when reconnecting to a disconnected RemoteApp session even though client redirected printers indeed reconnect, so it does not seem likely that userinit.exe is directly responsible for them.
Curious if there is a slick way to avoid the collision, or if perhaps the 3012 error can be avoided entirely through another approach.
Thanks in advance!
we have RDS installed in Windows 2016 standard edition and use session-base desktop deployment.
It was working fine for about one year. About two weeks ago, we started to have the following issue:
This computer can't connect to the remote computer.
The two computers couldn't connect in the amount of time allotted. Try connecting again. If the problem continues, contact your network administrator or technical support.
When this issue happens, we find some users are disconnected in the RDS-Collections-QuickSessionCollection. But we cannot log/sign off those users, they are always showing there.
BTW, we can sign of those users in the Task Manager-Users.
We can solve this issue by restarting the server. How to fix it without restarting the server?
Thanks!
Hi all,
Since applying latest 1803 Windows 10 update and latest upgrade to solve back screen bug, a lot of my user tell me that on their rdp session, the keyboard switch randomly from upper to lower case and vice versa.
Before 1803 update no problem, they only comes after.
Client run Windows 10 Pro 17134.137
Server run Windows 2012 R2 6.3 9600
Hi,
Wondered if someone could please help/advise.
We have 3 VM Servers. When users are logging off one of them it says 'signing out' and take around 10 - 15mins?
We do have roaming profiles going on between the 3 servers however it only happens on this particular one.
Also when we sign out as the administrator we still get the issue which suggests it has nothing to do with roaming profiles.
Help??
Recently made the decision to setup a new RDP farm based on Server 2016, I'd better went for Server 2012R2....
Our infrastructure
We have one Remote Desktop Connection Broker server, and 2 Remote Desktop Session Hosts, hosting the users.
The users have User Profile Disks being hosted on a 3rd server (a File & Print server).
2 physical servers hosting each a virtual RDP server with 26 vCPU's and 50G memory.
The file and print server, domain controller, a 3rd party mail server and SQL server are as well hosted on the physical hosts. No CPU sharing among different VM's.
Each physical host is equipped with :
CPU : Dual Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2630 v4 (dual 10 core)
Memory : 196G
Disk : Dell MD3xxx storage (IO is not an issue, more than 150 megabyte per second is possible, same with latency, no issues there)
Each RDP server hosts around 20 to 25 users.
Our issues :
RDP users complain about a very bad user experience. This behaviour is seen on a wide level. All users experience the issue.
Users are sitting on different locations, so the network towards the RDP servers is not causing the issue(s). The location where the most users are connecting from it's performance is good -> Success rate is 100 percent (100/100), round-trip min/avg/max
= 12/15/24 ms.
In general, a high CPU usage is noticed as well. For example doing a speedtest in a browser, pulls more than 20 to 30% CPU (total CPU usage on the 26 cores...).
To be a bit more specific ;
- Outlook (and actually office) works slow in general. Scrolling, browsing through pages, ...
- Icons on the desktop are flickering when the CPU raises to 70 to 80%
- Browsing through windows, minimizing, maximising, ... goes slow.
- Logging in goes slow, takes around 1 or 2 minutes to logon. It starts with a black screen, followed by the task bar, the desktop items, ...
- Opening the start menu, rightmouseclick on different items goes with a delay
- Browsing through a specific news page hangs the browser, en eventually the complete session (for example opening Internet Explorer with the msn.com startpage, causes the browser to "hang" for a number of seconds).
What we've already tried :
- Adding a massive amount of resources (26 vCPU's including 50G memory), even with 1 user, no fluent session feeling.
- Using the VMWare optimization tool. No difference experienced. Used the Windows 2016 RDSH template
- Played with TCP Offload disable/enable settings, no results.
- Doing file transfers from and to the File & print server, they go well.
- Disabling and enabling fair share for network, drives & CPU : no difference
We have the feeling something ... is stopping the server of being fast and quick. But the question is what?
Out of options...
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hey there.. weird one here.. I am testing RemoteApps with Server 2012. All is fine except for when I try and grant access to user in another forest where we have a two-way\forest transitive trust. The error is below.. What is interesting is the trust works fine otherwise. For example, if I try and add a user to the local admin group on the server it works great.. I can even authenticate via RDweb portal from a user in the trusted domain.. any ideas?
I have tried profile disks, group policies, roaming profiles but at different sites and locations the Server 2016 will not hold the users default programs settings per user. Has anyone else seen this and if so what did you do about it.
I have 2012 r2 and 2008 r2 farms that do this with no problem. It is driving me nuts.

Hello,
I installed a new RDS server (without RD Gateway) and published several apps.
My problem is the following :
I launch an app, I download the associated rdp file, and when I execute this one, the RDP connection is done with my standard account (Windows session login) but not with my admin account (with the one I login on RDWeb portal) ..
How can I force the use of the account which is connected to the web portal ?
Thanks in advance
