Local printers are not redirected when connecting to Session Host on Server 2016

April 18, 2017, 3:35 pm

I've have an issue redirecting local printers in my WS2016 RDS farm.

When I connect to any of my Server 2016 Remote Desktop Session Host I am not able to see redirected printers. This happens with full desktop or with Remoteapp, for example, with Wordpad.

This issue happens when connecting from RDS Gateway or when connecting from the intranet. Despite that, I'm able to redirect local printers if I connect to the sesion host with the /admin console session (mstsc.exe /admin). I have EasyPrint enabled and configured with preference via GPO.

I have configured print management and installed several server printers. The users are able to see those printers, but they cannot see redirected ones. I believe it's a driver issue, as I am able to see the TS redirected ports (TSxxx PRNx) but no printer installed in any of those ports.

I do not have any clue why. Could you please help me? 

The farm is a standard RDS Farm, with 4 session host. The DCs are in another server, so no problem with that.

Thank You

Modifying language via GPO RDS Server 2016

Hey everyone, just wondering if anyone else is having a hard time applying a different language to a Server 2016 RDS? My configuration works perfectly in Server 2012 R2. What I noticed is that if I install the language pack as a domain administrator it doesn't show up as a language option for the users. The user can then manually add the language and change their display language. If I do the same type of setup in Server 2012 R2 RDS the language is automatically available to all users and the GPO successfully changes the language accordingly. I'm just wondering if anyone else is having similar issues?

Recreating Gen2 Virtual Desktop Pool

January 19, 2017, 4:25 am

Hello

I am running a Server 2016 based RDS deployment. I have created a virtual desktop collection with Gen2 VM as the master image.

The collection will deploy initially with no issues at all and work as it is expected to do.

However, when I attempt to recreate all desktops due to updates etc, the job will fail with the following error reported in Server Manager:

Failed: Task: Calling into Hyper-V: failed. Result of task [0x80004005]

Looking in the event logs on the CB I am able to find this message under Microsoft-Windows-TerminalServices-SessionBroker/Admin:

VM host [host.name] failed to execute VM Provisioning operation [Task: Calling into Hyper-V: ] for virtual machine [Gen-0] in pool [Gen_2_Test], Error: [Unspecified error ]

If I look in the VMMS event log on the actual Hyper-V host itself I can find this message:

The description for Event ID 4120 from source Microsoft-Windows-Hyper-V-VMMS cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.
If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.
The following information was included with the event:
Gen-0
ꐿ˜
崜݋翶
%%2147942402
0x80070002
The locale specific resource for the desired message is not present

However, the machine is still there and booted? However it will stop the rest of the recreations so a collection with more than one vm will not finish.

Any pointers would be really appreciated I've Googled everything, tried with/without checkpoints, with/without the machines started at the time of recreation, with/without secure boot and nothing works. All that works, is regeneration with a Gen1 VM

Please help :)

Remote Desktop Connection Frozen

Hello,
I was using a VPN to be able to remotely connect to an Ubuntu virtual machine from my company. The VPN was experimental, so it usually goes down once in a while. Once, I was using Remote Desktop Connection to access the virtual machine (with the VPN turned on) and the VPN came down, so the connection was lost. Then I reconnected to the VPN, I was able to connect to the machine with the Remote Desktop and the view of the machine was frozen, still with the mouse in the same place before the VPN dropped, etc.
I know everything is fine with the machine because I can ping it, but I can not use the Remote Desktop interface.
What can I do?

HowTo Server 2016: Clicking on link in an RDS session and having it open a browser on local machine

September 21, 2018, 4:49 pm

I've seen this asked before but haven't seen a definitive answer.  A client is running in an RDS on Server 2016.  They open Outlook within their RDS session and click on a link in an email.  When clicking on the link, is it possible for that action to be redirected to the local browser, instead of the browser in the RDS sessions?  Hoping that over the years, a policy or setting has been added that allows for this.

The reasoning is that the RDS Server may not have the graphics hardware to support video streaming (such as YouTube), while the local client does.

Thanks!

CPU Fair Share - how is it designed to work?

September 21, 2018, 2:21 am

Hi everybody!

I'm running an RDS farm with three session hosts, all with CPU Fair share enabled (as it is by default).
Even so, some users are able to claim 100% CPU in their sessions for extended periods of time when doing complex operations or big queries like in Power BI and the likes, even when there are multiple sessions to the server.

The 100% CPU claim does not end before the operation halts.
Shouldn't CPU Fair Share prevent exactly this or am I missing a point?

Restricting Remote Desktop Access only from Domain Joined Computers

How can i enable remote access only to computers which are connected to the domain? 

-Why I need to do this? - As a security precaution that user accounts can only be used by the user itself on his registered device. there was an instance that the user shared his account to "others" and they used it to log-in in other non company owned computer.

-Or if possible limit remote login from a specific device only

Hi,

our workstations with Windows 10 pro are in this weekend updated to version 1803. For main system we use RemoteAPP aplications on Windows server 2012R2 (Windows server 2012R2 is full updated). After update on client station are RemoteAPP slower, and  right mouse button is unresponsive, or react verly long time... 

It is a big problem for us.

PS: after replace mstsc.exe and mstscax.dll from older version Windows 10 is all OK. but this is not a solution.

Thanks.

Redirected devices stopped working (for a moment...)

Hi,

we've got a simple configuration with 2 RDS servers for terminal sessions and another one for DC and connection broker. We have about 60 users and they connect to one of those 2 servers based on CB load-balancing. All servers are based on Windows 2016.

Each user redirects his (network) printer and one additional device connected by USB. Everything works fine, but yesterday we had a strange problem. One of RDS servers suddenly stopped accepting redirected devices (both: network printers and usb-devices). In logs i saw a lot of "Redirection of additional supported devices is disabled in policy" warnings. We see those warnings all the time, but not very often... during about 40 minutes there was a really lot of it (even few per one second). After that time everything back to normal (redirected devices started working again and no more warnings in logs).

What could couse that problem and what can we do to avoid that in future?

Trying to deploy network printers to specific users only and only on their RDS sessions (not to their domain joined PCs)

Good Day, I am using the Printer Management tool to deploy printers to our environment. Since it is a per user GPO, how can I set this policy so that the printers are only installed for this group of users on their Remote Apps and not on their domain joined PCs.

RDS environment and print server are both W2k12R2. Originally I tried deploying with the GPO using the Control Panel Settings/printer but it was not reliable. With that method though I could add Item Level Targeting so it would only deploy to RDS sessions for these specific users.

The method above that you see is reliable, but seems to also install the printers to the local workstations (no item level targeting available).

Constant disconnects cause RDP to be almost unusable

February 6, 2018, 11:29 am

I have a user that uses his Windows 10 laptop to connect to the Windows 2008 R2 server using remote desktop. He was working fine for a while then all of a sudden started getting kicked off. He will connect for about 5 - 10 minutes and then get disconnected.

Event logs on the laptop are:

Event ID 1026 - RDP Client ActiveX has been disconnected (Reason = 516) - Remote Desktop can’t connect to the remote computer for one of these reasons:  1) Remote access to the server is not enabled 2) The remote computer is turned off 3) The remote computer is not available on the network  Make sure the remote computer is turned on and connected to the network, and that remote access is enabled.

But he is able to connect so we know that remote access is enabled, the remote computer is not turned off (it's the main file server - never off), and the remote computer is available on the network or he would have never connected to get disconnected.

Event ID 226 - RDP Client_TCP: An error was encountered when transitioning from TcpStateConnectingTransport to TcpStateDisconnected in response to TcpEventConnectionTimeout (Error code:0X80004004)

We only use IPv4 so we have IPv6 unchecked. We specify the IP address and DNS settings so they are on the same network as the server. He remains connected to the network, just not to the server.

Event ID 1105 - The multi-transport connection has been disconnected.

I found an article with similar errors that pointed to inactive ports as the culprit. I checked the registry and found there were over 500 inactive ports. I ran the "fix-it" and it deleted all of the inactive ports. I will apply the HotFix tonight while everyone is logged off and am able to let it reboot. However, clearing those ports didn't stop him from disconnecting.

The event logs on the server are:

Event 25, TerminalServices-LocalSessionmanager - 1:47:14pm

Remote Desktop Services: Session reconnection succeeded: 

User: ServerName\UserName

Session ID: 3

Source Network Address: Laptop's IP Address

Event 24, TerminalServices-LocalSessionManager - 1:52:20pm

Remote Desktop Services: Session has been disconnected: 

User: ServerName\UserName

Session ID: 3

Source Network Address: Laptop's IP Address

This will continue like this all day. He can't stay connected for no more than 20 minutes. Some sessions are only a couple minutes. Does anyone know what we need to do to fix this?

Thanks,

Jessica

Fix RDS connection in a workgroup with two servers

September 26, 2018, 2:25 pm

I have two servers each running Windows Server 2016 installed on a local area network.  I'll just refer to the servers as server 1 and server 2.  Server 1 is the RDS licensing server.  Server 2 is a database host and file and print share server.  We purchased 5 Remote Desktop CALs and installed/activated the RDS licenses on server 1.  The Remote Desktop is configured to issue the CALs on a per user basis. 

We have a relatively small operation and do not require an Active Directory.  Our users typically work from their local computers but 3-5 people have to log onto server 2 to access their database.  They used the built in windows utility for Remote Desktop connections (mstsc.exe).  This worked for awhile until I received an error saying there were no remote desktop servers available on server 1 about 120 days after we initially installed the servers.  I found a registry hack to delete a timeout for remote desktop activation.  Everything was fine again for about another 120 days. 

When the 120 days hit again it was over a weekend and suddenly only 2 concurrent users can log into server 2 and no users could log onto server 1.  Geographically the servers, the users and I are separated by an ocean!  I was able to get back in and modify the registry again and server 1 is working but server 2 still only recognizes 2 concurrent users.  I've tried to remove and add RDS roles to the servers but I still cannot get server 2 past this problem.  My question is, how can I make server 2 look for the CALs on server 1 while keeping the servers in a Workgroup environment?  I've read so many articles but nothing helps me with this.  

Much thanks for your help!

Hi guys, 

RDS server is based on Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard. Not on all virtual machines with the same role but just on some of them I can see sporadically this issue.

User closes all apps and disconnects from the server but numerous Microsoft Word still run on the background which slows down the server performance. 

Is there any solution to resolve this issue?

In my environment we are using windows server 2012 R2 for RDS servers. On Gateway setting enabled all the redirection devices to allow.

However, when I get to the RDWeb site --Connect to the remote PC tab I see only printer and Clipboard are checked and others are unchecked in the Options- Devices and resources.

Could anyone suggest me how to enable other redirections too.

Hi all,

My destination server is connected with a secure usb token where a particular software will access the certificate in the usb token. When i login to my destination server via local console, the software installed within my destination server is able to access the secure usb token. However when i access the same destination server via RDP, the same software installed within my destination server is unable to access the secure usb token. Why is this so? Pls advise. TIA!

Port 3389 not listening

February 10, 2011, 5:06 pm

Windows Server 2003R2. Terminal Services is installed and started. Remote Desktop is Enabled. In the Terminal Services Manager session window, RDP-TCP is shown as being in a listening state. But when I run netstat -a, port 3389 does not show up. RD client cannot connect. Telnet or ssh to that port does not connect.

TCP is working fine: I can use logmein to view the server; I can VPN to the server, I can look at SMB shares once the VPN is up. No TCP filtering is active. The Windows Firewall is not active.

How can I get port 3389 going and be able to RDP in?

 

The registry is still showing port 3389 as the listening port.

I have removed and re-created the RDP-tcp port without any trouble and without success. The properties are set on defaults.

Remote Desktop devices in the device manager show as operating fine.

It used to work fine and just recently (sometime in January) it stopped working. As far as I know, no new software was installed at that time.

I have reviewed a bunch of stuff found in Google but none of it seems to help, so far.
