Remote Web Apps keeps asking for password even after logging into remote gateway.

$
0
0

The apps that I had published on my remote desktop gateway is still asking for a password when i try to access it even though i have successfully authenticated on the remote gateway.

My setup is that the everything is installed on server1 while the session host is on server2 (app that is published is also on this server2)

I have tried to setup "Always prompt for a password upon connection" to disabled on both server1 and server2, however it is still the same. 


reducing farm logon time

$

0

hi all,

       Win server 2016 connection brokers, 2012 R2 session hosts (due to application requirements), currently 154 session hosts in farm.

if i logon to specific session host, using mstsc.exe /admin, first logon time is approx 8 seconds. Subsequent logons are approx 3 seconds.

if i logon via the farm ()via rdweb, or an rdp file downloaded via RDWweb), the logon times are 18 seconds and 13 seconds respectively.

It seems to me as if the farm negotiation and deciding where to place the client is taking a full 10 seconds - which just ruins the user experience.

i havent been able to find anything by googling this - has anyone got some suggestions as to what to check or what tools i can use to troubleshoot this ?

Handle Remote Desktop Idle timeout

$

0

Hi, 

We want to use RDP for connecting to remote machine, execute Desktop Application Automation there. The challenge that we face is that on the customer end there are restrictions on idle timeout in RDP session. Once we start executing the automated desktop application and if execution takes longer that than the idle timeout to execute, the remote desktop session ends, and the Desktop Automation fails. Is there a way to handle this?

1. I have tried TSCON, but TSCON unlocks the console session, so it may not be acceptable to customers.

2. I have also tried Java's Robot classes to do some mouse action(https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52874/how-do-you-keep-the-machine-awake) This also works with limited scope. In case the RDP session loses focus, it does not work.

Is it possible to keep the RDP session from disconnecting on Idle Timeout?

Thanks in Advance.

Best,

Sumit

Hello,

Can RDS, running on Server 2016 STD with the roles RD Web Access, RD Broker, RD Session Host, and RD license run on a workgroup environment or does it need to be on a domain?

Thank you!

Profileimage Path Wrong, admin account behaving like a temporary one.

I have a asus laptop which was experiencing issues when signing into the admin account. It would just sign me into a temporary account and a error would pop up saying "We cant sign into your account".

But after a few restarts I managed to sign into the admin account but it was all wrong, my usual desktop icons were gone all my local files are now in the wrong place. All my documents are still accessible but I have to navigate through the c drive to the user. I also noticed in registry editor that the Profileimagepath for the account was a temporary path but I'm sure that's wrong and it should be the profile user name. Im not sure whats gone wrong here but any solution to this problem would be very helpful!

Windows 10 1703 Breaks RemoteApp - Remote Desktop Gateway

$

Hello all,

We have a RemoteApp environment with a Remote Desktop Gateway running on Server 2008 R2. All of our Windows 10 clients running any version PRIOR to 1703 can connect just fine. However, after 1703 is applied, they can no longer connect. They get this error:

"Your Computer can't connect to the remote computer because a security package error occurred in the transport layer..."

I have found others having this same issue: https://remotedesktop.uservoice.com/forums/266795-remote-desktop-services/suggestions/18937990-windows-10-1703-unable-to-connect-via-remote-des

Is there any workaround with this? We have a large RemoteApp terminal services environment, and as our remote users get upgraded to 1703, they are one by one unable to connect.

Thank you for the help!

When this happens the start menu will not work. This corresponds with me enabling the roaming of C:\Users\user\AppData\Local

 

I'm wondering if there is a folder I should exclude from roaming.

 

If it's not being caused by roaming the local folder then it may be caused by some GPO settings I also changed. I did this because windows search was out of control and consuming too many resources. Unfortunately I cannot disable search completely because of Outlook. My discussion on Outlook and search I had to re enable indexing outlook.

 

Any guidance on this is appreciated.

 

So far the only fix I've come up with is temporary, which is to delete the local profile and on the next login the start menu works. After a day or 2 it stops working again. I haven't totally recreated the user profile and I'm hoping this is not the ultimate fix because that would be a PITA to have to do that for all the users that have this happen.






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!

Black Screen for Users in RDS 2016

$

0
Windows Server 2016 RDS setup with one DC and 3 session host servers, all running as VMs under Citrix XenServer. This is a session-based deployment for RDP sessions.

Occasionally (that means approx every 7-10 days), new users logging in to RDS get a
black screen. That is, they can successfully log in but then see only a black screen, no task bar, nothing. Users can see moving mouse cursor, and they can bring up the Task Mgr with Ctrl+Alt+End. Sometimes, after 10-15 minutes the user desktop becomes visible, but most of the
time it never does.

Normally, every additional user logging in after this occured also gets the black screen. The only solution is to reboot this session host server.

The servers are updated to PT (July 2018).

Note - I installed an additional session host server recently and noticed that this phenomena does not seem to happen on that one (at least not as frequent). Same update status but was installed from later download media (evaluation edition download from internet, then converted to Standard edition by inputting a license). They do, however, all show the same build number in the settings app: 14393.2248.

So is it recommended to make a new install for all session host servers? Do not really understand why I would have to do that. They have the same update level, just one was installed from a later base media - but it's the same edition. Doesn't a server end up with an identical setup no matter what original media file was used, with all the updates? That should be the point of the updates, or not?

Or is there any other underlying reason for the black screen phenomenon which I should address?

Incorrect licensing CALs are showing on my licensing manager.

Hello Team,

Below is my environment details.

  • 1 RDSH server ( 2016)
  • 1 RDCB server ( 2016)
  • 1 DC (2016)
  • I have configured the licensing role on RDSH server.

I have purchased 30 per user licenses. I have successfully activated the licensing server. Installed the licenses. Applied the correct group policy settings. But the issue is " the licensing manager shows Incorrect cals and none of the cals are getting issued when the users are connecting. When I run the license report, it says no licenses are issued.

Ideally it should show 30 available per user licensing cals. Instead it displays 500 available cals. My doubt is, however, its showing 500 available cals, why it is not issuing none of them.

I want correct data to be shown on the server i.e 30 available cals.  

Any kind of help is much appreciated.

Thanks

Server 2012 suddenly stops creating RDP redirection for printers and drives

$

I help manage a hosted server for 20+ customers and everything works fine for the remote sessions of 700+ users for weeks and then every so often local drives and local printers are suddenly not showing up in the remote session. So far the only solution I have found that works is to reboot the server. I have done web searches for possible causes and tried restarting various services and nothing ever does any good other than a reboot. Obviously GPO and RDP configurations have not changed.  At the same time the server manager cannot connect to the RD Connection Broker yet just restarting all the RDP services does no good.  So the reboot is obviously doing something that so far I can't figure out how to do manually and it would be great to find and fix the cause to prevent it from happening at all.  I realize this could just be something in Server 2012 that MS needs to fix, but if anyone has experienced this and found a definite solution to this problem please advise.

Under scope - security filtering of the GPO i have entered my own username as well as the VM name in question, any idea why the settings isnt taking effect ?

Server 2012 R2

Basically i have 2 problems related to each other.
When people connecting to terminal server, and then some become idle, and some are really working (i see "a dot" or numbers), after several minutes the idle list resetting for everyone!
This cause me another problem that lots of idle stay connected and not disconnected from server and then the RDP connection to the terminal server takes lots of time and even failed sometimes due to timeout.

RDS 2012 R2: A timeout (30000 milliseconds) was reached while waiting for a transaction response from the (name-of-service) service

$

Hi guys,

On a random base (daily, weekly) we're experiencing major log-in problems on our Windows Server 2012 R2 Remote Desktop Services farm. The VM's are hosted on Hyper-V 2008 hosts and we're not using Citrix techniques etc.

Users are reporting that they cannot log-in, the log-in sessions hangs with a blank screen when loading their user profile (e.g. Please Wait For The User Profile Service).

In the System event log of the server on which the user is logging on the following errors are shown:

Source:        Service Control Manager 
Date:          23-12-2014 7:28:01
Event ID:      7011
Task Category: None
Level:         Error
Keywords:      Classic
User:          N/A
Description:

A timeout (30000 milliseconds) was reached while waiting for a transaction response from the UmRdpService service.

…and after 30 (or sometimes 60) seconds, the same error only another service (in random order):

A timeout (30000 milliseconds) was reached while waiting for a transaction response from the UmRdpService service.

…and after exactly 30 seconds, the same error only another service:

A timeout (30000 milliseconds) was reached while waiting for a transaction response from the UxmSms service.

etcetera, with the following errors:

A timeout (30000 milliseconds) was reached while waiting for a transaction response from the Netman service.

A timeout (30000 milliseconds) was reached while waiting for a transaction response from the AudioEndPointBuilder service.

A timeout (30000 milliseconds) was reached while waiting for a transaction response from the WPDBusEnum service.

A timeout (30000 milliseconds) was reached while waiting for a transaction response from the NlaSvc service.

The Portable Device Enumerator Service service failed to start due to the following error:
The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.

A timeout (30000 milliseconds) was reached while waiting for a transaction response from the TrkWks service.

A timeout (30000 milliseconds) was reached while waiting for a transaction response from the UmRdpService service.

These errors are logged continuously.

An administrator cannot solve this since he isn't able to login in as well (console or remotely), only a hard reset of the VM is possible to use the affected server again.

I took different steps to solve this problem without any success, like:

- Installing the latest Windows updates
- Removed unnecessary printer drivers, print monitors and print processors (no local printers/drivers are installed, only Remote Desktop Easy Printer driver is used)
- Searched different forum posts, but found only hotfixes for Windows Server 2008 R2.

Can someone please help me with this annoying problem?

Many thanks!!

EDIT:
Of course is increasing the time-out not really an option here... http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/13765.event-id-7011-service-timeout.aspx

RDP server hangs suddenly

$

Hi folks,

I am dealing with weird issue on my Windows Server 2012 R2 server. Server is used as DC and RDS server.

Everything was working fine until Friday where I saw this problem first time.

Users reported that they are unable to log on to RDP - they see black screen only. User with active RDP connection are able to work but unable to log off from RDP. In server console I see that RDS is not working properly. I am able to restart all RDS services except this one - UmRdpService.

And there are some errors in event viewer.

13:05:13 Source - System, Service control manager - event ID 7011 - service UmRdpService timeout. 

And then another:

The same source and event id but service is different - hidserv, Netman, ScDeviceEnum, transaction  SysMain 

and the last one - event id 7046 - UmRdpService

There is another error in app event viewer.

13:00:13 - App - Application Hang - event id 1002 - program StwPh.exe verze 5.1.12103.2 stopped cooperate with OS

I would say that problem is caused by app - STWPh.exe.

What do you mean?

Thanks.

RDS - Desktop Flashing / Cursor randomly jumps around

$

Hey Together,

we have a customer with a RDS Terminalserver Farm with 4 2016 RDS Session Hosts located in Azure.

The customer is facing the issue that the desktop icons are flashing, like they are pressing f5 all the time.
Already tried the specific registry key here: 
https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/1978620-rds-2016-desktop-icons-flickers-refreshes. that either did not work.

In addition the users are experiencing that the cursor sometimes start to randomly juming around.
For example, user is typing in the adress field of outlook, and the cursor jumps out of that field and the user has to click in it again to finish typing.

Probably the issue is related to the flickering and refreshing desktop, but not sure.

Best Regards,
Dominic
