I've searched up and down for days. I cannot find any workarounds for all the issues I'm running into trying to get Remote Desktop Services deployed via Server Manager or PowerShell when the environment is strictly IPv6.
The closest I've gotten was deploying under IPv4 then re-enabling IPv6. Though, once I do that I lose all administrative access to RDS and Server Manager says it's unable to connect to the connection broker.
Any and all help would be most appreciated.
There is a document describing the activation under server 2008: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/887432/how-to-install-and-to-configure-the-external-connector-for-a-terminal
The same settings under 2019 gives in de RDS session a popup with the text: There is a problem with your Remote Desktop license, and your session will be disconnected in 60 minutes.
Hello,
I have been trying to configure the "User Profile Disks" option for an RDS Farm with no luck.
I have one Server 2019 RDS Broker server and four Server 2019 RDS Session Host servers. I have successfully created the collection and added the SH servers to the farm. However, when I try to configure the UPD option, I get the following error:
"Could not create the template VHD. Error Message: -2147023174"
I have been trying to create the share on the broker server and have verified the share for the UPD is created and permissions are correct. When I try to configure the UPD, the process does add the SH server accounts to the list of permissions, but does not seem to actually create the VHD.
Automount is enabled on all servers in the farm, all servers have the latest updates.
I have tried creating a new share on a different server (Server 2016 STD) and get the same error message. The name of the share doesn't have any spaces or special characters: UserProfileDisks
I have a problem in one Windows Server 2012, where RDMS simply doesnt start, even manually.
This is a secundary server, who dont have a AD controller, it uses a remote one from a primary server.
I tried to remove and install RDMS, removing and creating a new internal DB, but this problem continues.
From,
Only RDM is disable.
When I try to start it manually I got this message:
Anyone?
I have set up a standard 3 node 2012 R2 RDS for testing. All virtualized on VMware ESXi 5.0. I have a connection Broker, session host, and web access server. I have published several applications and I can access them without a problem. Here is my issue:
When I try to log on to my session host server either locally or thru RDP, I am always logged in with a Temporary profile. It does not mater what user account I use. Even logging on locally as the administrator I get a temporary profile.
All windows updates are installed and current.
I have removed the server from the domain, deleted the account, and rejoined it to the domain.
I have deleted all .bak registry entries from here:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList
There is a hotfix here for a similar issue on 2012 but it does not apply to 2012 R2
The only event viewer errors are:
1515 (Windows has backed up this user profile. Windows will automatically try to use the backup profile the next time this user logs on.)
1511 (Windows cannot find the local profile and is logging you on with a temporary profile. Changes you make to this profile will be lost when you log off.)
Any suggestions to resolve would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,
We've search several solutions over the network but in our enviroment nothing helps.
in the company we have a problem with freezing RDS Hosts. Usually looks like:
- Someone is calling to us end tell that some software is crashed and he cannot run it again / Cannot logout/login.
At First we thought that is a software problem (very often we saw that excel has 100% cpu), we've update office 365.
at the Begining of the creash we see error in event log:
"A timeout was reached (30000 milliseconds) while waiting for the ServiceName service to connect."
Usually it stars with UmRdpService but we recieve it in several another services.
What's more we found strange behavior during this problem - we see that number of active sessions is going down... but total session are growing very fast (example we have 20 sessions on the host, total session ~30, during our crash we have 5 active session but 100 total sessions).
During this crash we usually cannot log into domain accounts, very often we cannot log in local account.
We tried to reset services, disable priter redirection, try to update OS system with Office 365 - no luck.
What's more in the event log we have many errors like:
-20499 "Remote Desktop Services has taken too long to load the user configuration from server \\XXXXXXXXXXXX for user XXXXX
-1152 "Failed to create KVP sessions string. Error Code 0x8007007A"
Hello! I'm currently testing RDP for Windows Server 2019 for later deployment purposes and I am running into an odd problem. On machines that are Hyper-V machines I RDP into if I minimize them and wait a few minutes then restore the window I get a blank screen (color of the desktop). It stays this way for about 5-10 minutes then it recovers. This behavior does not happen on the HyperV host machine.
My environment:
- All Windows 2019 Servers. 1 host, 3 virtualized. All Virtualized servers exhibit the same issue.
- Everything is updated with patches.
- I'm connecting from a Windows 10 machine. Command line returns Version: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.17763.379]. winver: 1809 (17763.379)
What I have tried (singularly):
- Disabling UDP using GPO.
- Disabling RemoteFX using GPO.
- A few other Googled results.
Still the problem occurs. I haven't even tested RDS yet and can't possibly roll that out to clients until this is resolved. I have attached a screenshot of what the RDP session looks like after I restore it from the Start Menu bar.
I would attach a screenshot but looks like I can't with this forum.

Hello,
I was curious if anyone has found a MFA solution for RDS 2016 HTML5 webclient? The end goal is to publish the app externally through a RD Gateway. It's currently working, however we'd really feel better about it with MFA. We played around with a DUO demo, however they don't support the webclient, and if you apply it to the gateway it strips the RAP/CAP. we need to use those policies, so the gateway is a no go for us. The RDWeb piece works fine, but then breaks the webclient.
Any thoughts?
Hello, I have a legacy in-house developed application I am trying to deploy as RemoteApp. The application is installed in C:\T&N directory and some user specific configuration data is located in a couple of files inside that directory.
I deployed the application installing and it is shown in the Web gateway. I can run it remotely with no issues but the problem is that the user data is not saved on a per user basis, but the last user that runs the app have his config data saved for the next time the app run.
It is like this. The app.exe is installed in C:\T&N and there is a config file C:\T&N\user.config. This user.config have personalization settings and the location of some databases specific to the user running the app.
Is there a way I can include some files in C:\T&N directory into the user profile disk so each user will have his own copy of the config file? Everything else runs fine except this critical little thing.

Hi all,
has anyone used the VirtualizeLoopbackAdresses configuration on RDS?
We are currently facing a problem with a SAP/Genesys integration that run on loopback address.
1 user works, multiple users not.
The application bind itself to 127.0.0.1 but we need a different looback address per session.
Any help is very appreciated.
Thanks.

I have recently deployed a 2016 RDS server farm. This is being used to publish remote apps to users via RDWeb.
Now, for some strange reason there are 3 seperate applications that I have deployed (All 3 being https URL's via Internet Explorer) which simply log the users off 20 seconds after the app has been launched. No errors are generated inside the Session host at all, simply a user logoff event.
This session host server is responsible for publishing several other applications and this particular issue does not present itself anywhere else. Also to note is that if an existing session exists for that user, then they are able to run the HTTPS published apps without any issues and their session is maintained.
Please help, I am bashing my head in with this one!
Hi everyone,
I`m either complitly blinde or dumb, but i can`t find any way to delete certs from deployment properties -> certificates to make them all "not configured" again. May be some one can helps me with that?
Configuring RDS on a workgroup server creates the following additional restrictions:
You must use per-device licensing instead of per-user licensing
https://support.microsoft.com/en-ca/help/2833839/guidelines-for-installing-the-remote-desktop-session-host-role-service
You have to use Per Device licensing for RDS in a Workgroup environment.
For Windows Server 2016 client access license (non-rds license), is Per User licensing allowed in a Workgroup environment?
hello we are providing full session desktop (rds 2016)
i notice that any domain user can open "server manager" and "administrator tools"
this seems to be security risk. How can I disable these two items but still allow it for the domain admins?
Server 1 - Web Access/ Gateway
Server 2 - Broker
Server 3 - Host 1
Server 4 - Host 2
External and internal DNS records set. Firewall rules open Any/Any. Certs with external Web access name in place (the only names are server 1 and its alternate name). Security groups in place for CAP and RAP. Collections made. NO HA
Currently works internally for applicable users but not external.
External ERROR:
Remote Desktop can't find the computer "Broker.company.com". This might mean that "Broker.company.com" does not belong to the specified network.
Any Assistance would be appreciated.
Hi,
I have 5 Remote Desktop Session Hosts with 14 GB RAM each.
Every day in every RDSH connected 10-12 users
I have configure a policy to sign out all the users after 4 hours idle to keep it clean after working hours.
My problem is that after 15 days all Remote Desktop Session Host Servers use 6-7 GB RAM without any connection.
For example i can see that keeps 7 GB RAM when connect at night which i am the only in Remote Desktop Session Host Server.
I can't figure out which programm or service use so much RAM.
Can someone help me ?

Hi, I'm having a really rubbish time of trying to get my Azure VM's. I need to remove any weak ciphers suites and still have RDP work.
Please, in simple steps and English can someone tell me what settings to set. and if possible the actual registry keys I need to set to make it work.
If I require cipher</g> suites that are weak, but required can you please show which ones they are.
P.s I'm just on about a simple RDP connection to a server from a workstation.
Thanks

Hello readers,
We have a server 2012R2 environment with 2 RDS servers and a Connection Broker.
When I try to export the Startdesktop (Export-StartLayout -Path "C:\Beheer\start_new.xml") -Path ", i get instead of a xml file an output in non readable format like:

When I ran the cmd, there was no error message.
A few years ago, the StartLayout was exported succesfully.
What I have tried so far:
- tried the export on different servers (RDS and non-RDS)
- tried the export with a different (domain) admin account
- tried the export with optie "-as bin"
I found only one other reference to this issue online, but unfortunately no solution: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/71e76f2a-2b40-466a-8046-fa191babfb9a/how-to-hide-additions-applications-from-windows-81-using-group-policy-server-win2k8-r2?forum=w8itprogeneral
Anyone an idea how to fix this?
