User CALs for Local users on a Domain joined 2016 server

$
0
0

We have a system that runs some inventory management software that requires local accounts for remote terminals to log into the server.  (this is not software that I manage) In the past, the servers were running Windows Server 2008 and were not joined to the domain.  We have finally convinced the powers that be that these servers need to be joined to our Domain if they are going to continue to run on our network, as well as the need to upgrade them to Windows Server 2016.  

We have run into an issue in our Dev environment when testing to get this working.  We have purchased 24 RDS User cals and added them to our existing license server.  The new domain joined 2016 servers are pointed to the license server and everything works fine as long as you are logging in with an AD account.  However, when logging in with a local account, we get an error message stating there are no RDS user CALs available.  Running the RDS license Diagnoser as a local user shows that the Application server is looking at the license server, but is showing 0 licenses available.  

I have seen others with this same scenario and the answer was it's not possible to use a license server on a domain joined computer for RDS cals for local users.  The question I haven't seen answered is this:

Will it work if we install the CALs locally on the Domain joined Windows Server 2016 machine that the users are connecting to via RDS with local accounts?


Windows 2012 RDS user profile disk is not being created in the location being specified.

Hello, 

We have a Windows 2012 RDS environment which has user profile disks setup on a file server hidden share and roams user profile data in there - please see the attached.  

For some reason, when I login as a user who belongs to the user group which is supposed to have access in the collection session, I am not seeing the profile disk is being created in that hidden share being specified in that location.  Instead, the user profile is created in c:\users on the RDS host.  

The hidden share also shows other many profile disks are successfully created.  

Please advise where I should start troubleshoot.

RDS 2016 Deployment - Certificate & Port queries

$
0
0
We have deployed RDS 2016 and I have a few questions with regards to

1. Certificates

We have 7 users accessing the published apps using RDWeb using the client VPN and we have setup only internal access.

FQDN of RDS Server: RDSSVR01.ka.domain.com (which is our internal domain)

Kindly advise if we go with SSL or Wildcard certificate and what names must be included in the certificate

Server01 - AD & RDS Licensing
Server02 - RDS Session Host
RDSSVR01 - RDS Gateway + Broker + Web Service

2. How secure is port 3389 and is it advisable to open this port for public/internet access to RDWeb. Our hosting partner claim "Please note that opening port 3389 poses a security risk and RDP access via SSL VPN." Any advise

3. In case we open port 3389 for internet access to RDWeb

Internally the URL: RDSSVR01.ka.domain.com/rdweb

Externally the URL: rdsess.domain.ka/rdweb

Please advise if the above works, what entries must i have on my SSL or WC certificates

2016 RDS Licensing stopped working

I have a 2016 Domain controller with 50 RDP User CAL's.  The server has been working perfectly for well over a year.  Today when I tried to log in I got:

The remote session was disconnected because there are no Remote Desktop License Servers available to provide a license.  Please contact the server administrator.

When I run diags on the license server it says everything is fine.  I deleted that Trial mode grace period stuff months and months ago so that's not it.  Nothing I see shows anything wrong or out of the ordinary.

I'm stumped.  Please help!

JPG files

Hello,

How can I view *.JPG files in RDS?

I'm using cloud server with windows server 2016.

I've understand that photo viewer no longer bullied in server 2016 and the only way to use it, it's by copying the files from windows 10 and changing same parameters in registry, which I prefer not to touch.

Is there a way to install without touching the registry or maybe there is a third part free software who works well for RDS users? 

Thanks

Event ID 4625 when Windows Updates are staged

$
0
0

This has been going on for years and I've just accepted it, but it seems too weird and makes auditing difficult.  We have 5 load-balanced terminal servers and 2 connection brokers.  Once a week, I audit all 7 servers for event ID 4625.  The week that Windows Updates have been staged through our WSUS, I get literally hundreds of 4625 Events on the Connection Brokers.  The events pop up 8 at a time within 1 second.  The terminal servers themselves don't have any issues.

This is an event from one of the Connection Brokers:

An account failed to log on.

Subject:
	Security ID:		NULL SID
	Account Name:		-
	Account Domain:		-
	Logon ID:		0x0

Logon Type:			3

Account For Which Logon Failed:
	Security ID:		NULL SID
	Account Name:		<CNBRKR COMPUTER NAME>
	Account Domain:		<DOMAIN>

Failure Information:
	Failure Reason:		Unknown user name or bad password.
	Status:			0xc000006d
	Sub Status:		0xc0000064

Process Information:
	Caller Process ID:	0x0
	Caller Process Name:	-

Network Information:
	Workstation Name:	<CNBRKR COMPUTER NAME>
	Source Network Address:	fe80::39b9:306b:5224:fd9
	Source Port:		62951

Detailed Authentication Information:
	Logon Process:		NtLmSsp 
	Authentication Package:	NTLM
	Transited Services:	-
	Package Name (NTLM only):	-
	Key Length:		0

This event is generated when a logon request fails. It is generated on the computer where access was attempted.

The Subject fields indicate the account on the local system which requested the logon. This is most commonly a service such as the Server service, or a local process such as Winlogon.exe or Services.exe.

The Logon Type field indicates the kind of logon that was requested. The most common types are 2 (interactive) and 3 (network).

The Process Information fields indicate which account and process on the system requested the logon.

The Network Information fields indicate where a remote logon request originated. Workstation name is not always available and may be left blank in some cases.

The authentication information fields provide detailed information about this specific logon request.
	- Transited services indicate which intermediate services have participated in this logon request.
	- Package name indicates which sub-protocol was used among the NTLM protocols.
	- Key length indicates the length of the generated session key. This will be 0 if no session key was requested.

After the Windows Updates are installed, the 4625 events go back to normal where my users can't remember their passwords.

Any ideas?

Cannot remote into some servers

I use RDP Manager 2.7

I have Sonicwall at each location. I VPN using Sonic's client and then RDP locally into a server. Some serves work, some unable to establish connection. When i restart my computer some connections begin to work and then stop after a while. Sometimes when i establish connection and use my credentials RDP just shuts off. I tried to reinstall but nothing helps. It doesn't always happen but like today I can't remote into a few serves.

Any thoughts where should I look? I looked at Even Viewer on servers where it fails:

RD session connections windows server 2016 - two computers couldn't connect in the amount of time allotted

$

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!

Screen is Black after login on Windows Server 2012r2 Standard

$

I got a call from the client saying they logged into the server and now it only shows a black screen. I then RDP into it and sure enough, after login there is just a black screen. I searched around and found thread that had a link to a hotfix that will stop this from happening. I applied the fix and restarted and thought all was well until this morning when I got a call that the server was acting weird.

I RDP in again and black screen. I RDP into the VM and then into the main server and still black screen. On top of that 2 windows 7 workstations were getting the black screen after logging in. 1 user had it then after 5 or 10 min the desktop just appeared. The then logged into a workstation at their office to try and RDP into the server and I get this black screen after logging in, 5min later the desktop shows up. Not sure what is going on but it is very frustrating. Also when this happens on the server Nothing can be done besides a hard shutdown which I don't like doing every other week. 

Any ideas? Is it somehow related to the workstations also having the same issues???


External Remote Apps Windows clients cannot authenticate with internal Session Host

$

Hello,

I have a Remote Apps deployment which includes two servers. Server A is deployed with all RD roles (session host + gateway) and is reachable from the outside via 443; and Server B which is only a session host and is open for internal traffic only.

All users from inside my network are able to open apps published on both servers, without a problem.

Windows users from the outside are only able to open apps published on server A. When they try to open an app from server B they get the error "An authentication error has occurred 0x607" with the server name of server B. It seems that the authentication doesn't work properly through the gateway (server A) for published apps.

Important note #1 - Opening a standard Remote Desktop Connection (mstsc) from the outside to server B by configuring the gateway in the advanced tab works perfectly. It seems that this problem is only related to the published apps.

Important note #2 - Opening the remote apps on Server B works perfectly from a "Remote Desktop" app for mobile - for example, from an Android phone or an iPad.

Does anyone have any ideas?

I have a server running Windows Server 2008 R2 which I use as a Remote Desktop Server. Following a reboot the System event logs are full of the following entries "The following fatal alert was received: 40" and "The following fatal alert was received: 70".

I have rebooted again but this hasn't cleared the issue. The server is fully patched.

I have noticed that it coincides with users logging on and logging off.

The Schannel 36887 errors come in a long burst of events preceded by three events.

Mandatory vs Local Profiles For Best Login Performance

$
0
0

I'm building out a new RDS Server 2016 environment to replace our aging RDS 2008 environment.  One emphasis we're trying to place on the new system is faster logins.  After doing some testing on both our prod 2008 and dev 2016 RDS environments, it's clear that a lot of the login time is attributed to new profile creation.  It easily doubles our login time from about 40 seconds to over a minute.  We do use folder redirection for favorites and documents.  We currently do a weekly purge of the profiles on our 2008 environment just to keep things clean but this comes at the expense of longer login times due to new profile creation.

Two options I've been considering are:

1.) Continue using local profiles but have some sort of script that would clean them up periodically, but do not delete them entirely.  The disadvantage is that while we have a relatively small number of hosts (12), it will take some time for every user to have a profile generated on each server.  Also there is chance of profile corruption if we don't eventually purge the profiles.  The benefit is that there should not be any issues with app compatibility.

2.) Implement local mandatory profiles but this may cause issues with certain applications such as Skype for Business that requires a certificate store.  I did see an article mention that the state key can be changed in the SID so that the Skype app thinks its a local profile.   We also have a few other old oddball apps that I would be concerned will not play nice with mandatory profiles.  The benefit with mandatory profiles is smaller profile size and less chance of corruption.

Since we have folder redirection to cover favorites and documents, and we're also going to redirect the Outlook OST, we really just need a way that will get the user logged in quickly that will support the apps.  Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

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?
