RD Licensing Manager: Access denied

$

0

Hi All,

I am hoping someone is able to help or point me in the right direction. My google foo powers have let me down.

I am receiving the error:
RD Licensing Manager
Unable to perform operation: Access denied.

The overview is:
I have two domains "Adomain.local" & "Bdomain.local" (I know .local historic and not yet migrated)
Both domains have been joined and AD trust relationships configured and working.

Adomain.local has our terminal server licences installed. We have purchaed additional licences and added these to the rds server at Adomain.

When accessing RD Licensing Manager on Bdomain and attempting to add the license server "rds.Adomain.local" I receive the above error.

I have also tried this the other way around. ie adding rds.Bdomain.local to the Live license server rds.Adomain.local

Just incase it has a bearing:
rds.Adomain.local is Server 2016
rds.Bdomain.local is Server 2012 r2

Thanks for any help

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!

Remote desktop services goes "stale"

$

Hi there, we are experiencing an issue where we connect to one of our realtime machines and randomly (this happened about a week apart from one another) after you have authenticated, it just goes black and stays that way. I have to reboot the server to get the remote desktop services working again. 

I have noticed by logging into the console session on vmware, that after authenticating on the remote desktop client, it doesn't actually connect because my session using the same credentials on the vmware console is still active and untouched. 

Here are some errors I see : 

An error occurred when transitioning from CsrConnected in response to EvCsrInitialized. (ErrorCode 0x80070102)
&
An error occurred when transitioning from CsrConnected in response to EvCsrInitialized. (ErrorCode 0x80070057)

These logs are also accompanied by Event ID 4005 "The windows logon process has unexpectedly terminated"

I also noticed when I enter the IP for the VM in the remote desktop client and hit enter, the logon screen comes up immediately instead of the couple of ms you normally wait. 

Any idea on how to fix this permanently? 


Migrate connection broker 2016 to 2019

$

Hi,

As RDS 2019 upgrade documentation seems to be non existing, I thought I'd ask this question here. Is it still necessary to migrate a connection broker from version 2016 to 2019 by doing an in place upgrade of the machine as was the case with 2012 to 2016? As the connection broker role is basically the same in both versions, I thought it might be possible to place the 2016 broker in HA mode, add a 2019 broker and remove the 2016 machine after that.

Is that possible?

User profile disk (.vhdx) files increasing frequently

$

In windows server 2012 R2 RDS farm user profile disk (.vhdx) files increasing frequently that causes lack of free space on storage location where the UPD files located. Every day approximately 10-20GB space filled on storage where the UPD locates. When mount and checking vhdx within them the amount of data is much smaller than the size of vhdx disk. Is there any way to prevent increasing UPD disks frequently or reduce/release/reclaim disk space on UPD vhdx files?


Remote Desktop not working

I am using a Windows 10 PRO 64bit laptop, I've been trying to connect using remote desktop to another Windows 10 Pro PC and I keep getting the message that remote desktop could not connect.  I have a Windows 7 PRO computer that can connect to the same Windows 10 PC so I know it works.  I've tried everything I can think of to get it to work.  Network discovery is turned on, the firewall is turned off, I've allowed remote desktop connection and I can see the target PC when I go to Windows Explorer/Network.  What am I missing???

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.


Windows Server 2019 VDI Licensing

$
0
0

I've read a lot of documentation regarding VDI and RDS, yet I am still a little confused on some aspects.

Consider my company's scenario:

- We have a Windows Server 2019 Datacenter Edition running on a physical machine with 2 8-core processors (total of 16 cores)

- All employees have Software Assurance included with their Windows OS license on their laptops

We want:

- To host Client-based VMs (Win10 mainly) on our physical WS2019 and allow employees to remotely access their dedicated personal virtual machines

- Very rarely, we would occasionally like to host Server-based VMs (WS2012RS and WS2016 mainly) on our physical WS2019 and allow employees to access their personal server virtual machines. Our employees will not need to use this scenario often, only in unique circumstances.

- None of these VMs would be in use long-term. At max, each VM would be used for a month or two. More often, VMs will probably be needed on a week-long basis, then destroyed.

To my understanding:

- We need to apply a core-based license to our physical WS2019 Datacenter, covering all 16 cores, for the hardware to be in compliance.

- We can deploy as many Windows Server-based VMs as we would like, and can properly handle licensing VM OS's using AVMA

- Employees can connect to Server-based VMs only if they have a CAL

- We can deploy Client-based VMs, and employees can concurrently access up to 4 client virtual machines at any given time because they have SA

My questions:

- Do I have any of the information above wrong? Please correct me if I do

- Do we need to worry about licensing each individual Client-based VM? It seems ridiculous to need to provide a separate product key/activation for each VM instance when they're only needed for a short time.

- Can we deploy both Server-based and Client-based VMs like this in the same VDI environment?

- Do we need to still have the core-based license for our physical WS2019 if we only deploy Client-based VMs? 

- How do we go about purchasing and applying a core-based license for our physical WS2019?

Please let me know if there is any other critical information I may need that I have missed.

Thank you in advanced for helpful insights.

RemoteFX enabled RDP Connection for Windows 10 1903 Not working

Configuration:

Hyper-V - Server 2016 Desktop Virtualization Host with all available updates as of 09/12/2019
     -nVidia Tesla M10 with newest Graphics Drivers available - fully support 1903
     -Registry setting for AVC444ModePreferred = 1
     -Registry setting for AVCHardwareEncodePreferred = 2

VDI Desktop - Windows 10 1903 with all available updates installed as of 09/12/2019
     -RemoteFX Adapter added to VM with 2x monitors with 512MB

RDP Client Endpoint - Win10 1803, Win10 1809, Win10 1903 all with all available updates as of 09/12/2019

Scenario 1: RDP from client to the VDI through RDCB or directly: Fails to connect with administrator message

Scenario 2: Connect to VM through Hyper-V Console with RemoteFX enabled - Works flawlessly

Scenario 3: Enable the 'Use WDDM graphics display driver for Remote Desktop Connections' policy - Connection works over RDP but it appears RemoteFX isn't functioning fully as graphics are sluggish. This should not be the fix as the nVidia RemoteFX drivers should be fully WDDM compatible.

Scenario 4: Remove RemoteFX Adapter - Connection works over RDP but is sluggish due to no RemoteFX

This person is having the same problem but the fixes are not working for me and since he did not respond, I'm not sure the fixes are actually working - https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/25fa7511-c21d-44e7-9c5f-b77ffdd4d2ac/remotefx-on-hyperv-console-but-not-through-rdp?forum=winserverTS

Message Received on RDP Client:

Your Remote Desktop Services session has ended, possibly for one of the following reasons:
     The administrator has ended the session.
     An error occurred while the connection was being established.
     A network problem occurred.

RemoteApp keeps saying "Your credentials did not work"

Hi all,

I wonder if you could help me. I have deployed a new RDS server and everything seem to be in place. Its based on Windows Server 2016, and all licences applied, and certificate added.

Internally I can access it through the browser fine, but not externally (outside our LAN). Also everytime i try to add the server to Access RemoteApp and desktops, internally or externally, i get the message "Your credentials did not work".

This is a big project that i am working on and i find my self stuck.

So far i have tried:

  • GPOs to add TERMSRV/* and thumbprint
  • Bypass RD Gateway credentials for local addresses
  • SSL Certificate for RD Connection Broker Enable SSO, RD connection broker Publishing, RD Web Access and RD Gateway is the same.
  • Checked IIS for redirections and SSL (all off, tried on too)...all i could think of, but no luck.
  • Authentication policy is set via GPO as: allow delegating default credentials with NTLM-only server authentication and Allow delegating saved credentials with NTLM-only server authentication. 

I am struggling to find a reason why it's not working.

Any help is much appreciated.

RDS 2016 Remote Desktop Services is currently busy

I am running a Server 2016 with RDS and it's mainly used for remote apps. Our users are getting the "The task you are trying to do can't be completed because RDS is currently busy" and looking at the task manager, there appears to be a stuck login which I cannot disconnect. When I attempt to end all processes for that stuck user, it still does not go away and I need to reboot the VM which kicks everyone off.

I am running the latest patches but I find that I have to restart the VM at least 3-4 times a week to allow our users to use their remote app when they work from home.

What could be causing this issue?

Enhanced Video Renderer - render failure in RDP session

$
0
0

Enhanced Video Renderer is used in my application.  It displays fine on Windows 7 thick client.  When this application runs on a Citrix server (Server 2016), EVR will not render at all, if the render window is on monitor 2 (right monitor).

Because Citrix runs on top of Terminal Services, we tried to check over RDP.  See the same symptom over an RDP connection.  Testing EVR capabilities using GraphEdit: EVR will render fine on Monitor 1 but not Monitor 2 (black window appears).  Without RDP, connecting over UltraVNC, there is no problem with EVR rendering on Monitor 2.  Another curious thing, is that if the graph is stopped, and the render window is dragged from one screen to the other, the window will render fine after the graph is restarted, so long as the window is at least 50% on the left monitor.  Seems like a rendering problem as the source filter is definitely not the issue.

Is there some reason for this to fail?  Is there any RDP configuration (or omission) that contributes to this problem.  Many thanks in advance for any knowledge on this.


Prevent user profile corruption

How can you prevent user profile corruption on windows server 2016 and 2019.

We have lots of RDS deployment setup according to best practice guides, it's all very straightforward no strange or complicated configuration. Just an out of the box windows server 2016/2019 installations with RDS:

a remote desktop gateway

a connection broker

a session host

then we make a rdp deployment with UPD's.

profiles keep getting corrupted. How can we prevent this? It's super annoying we have to fix the corrupted profiles all the time.

Note this is not a question how to fix corrupted profiles, rather how to prevent it. We're now fixing corrupted profiles every day, such a waste of time!

If you need more information, let me know.

PS. seeing the many google posts, it's clearly a problem many people have, so there must be a solution for that right????

PS. RDS setup is default as can be. Guide followed: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/remote/remote-desktop-services/rds-deploy-infrastructure  No weird config going on, everything according to best practice but still profile corruption keeps coming back.

Publishing Remote Apps from Multiple Session Hosts

$

Hi guys, I'm coming from the Citrix world so I need to re-learn how this works, but I have a RDS server which is also a session host, and an additional session host. Both are in a collection called Test.

I have some software installed on both servers which I can publish. I have some software just on the main RDS/session host which I can publish, and some software just on the second session host which I can not publish.

I don't necessarily want to have to install the software on both. How can I accomplish this? I tried to create another collection and just add the second host but I can't because its already part of the first one I suppose. What do I need to be doing in this regard?


Thanks for any feedback.

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

$

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

Installing RDS automatically using local credentials : Authentication issue : New-RDSessionDeployment : Validation failed for the "RD Connection Broker" parameter.

Hi all

I would like to setup RDS Session on new servers automatically.

The first step to join the server to the Active directory domain is ok

Now I would like to install RDS Roles Session automatically

When the server reboot, it runs a script using local admin account.

I know one need an Active directory account to deploy.

So I tried this :

    $user = "AD\User"    $pwd  = ConvertTo-SecureString "xxxxx" -AsPlainText -Force    $cred = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential($user,$pwd)    Add-LocalGroupMember    -Group "Administrators" -Member $user  | Out-File -Append $LogFile    Import-Module RemoteDesktop    #Enable-PSRemoting -Force    Invoke-Command -ComputerName $Env:Computername -ScriptBlock {                   $RDSSrvName = $Env:Computername + ".xxx.yyy.com"                   $LogFile = "$Env:ProgramFiles\Renault\RDS_Roles_setup.log"                   New-RDSessionDeployment -ConnectionBroker $RDSSrvName -WebAccessServer $RDSSrvName -SessionHost $RDSSrvName | Out-File -Append $LogFile    }     -Credential $cred # -Authentication CredSSP    $null = install-windowsfeature  -Credential $cred  RSAT-RDS-Licensing-Diagnosis-UI -LogPath $LogFile    Remove-LocalGroupMember -Group "Administrators" -Member $user  | Out-File -Append $LogFile

It returns

[

Even if I try to run the command as the Active directory user being AD-User and Local admin , I get too :

Could some tell me what I missing ?

The Active Directory user has no right on the active directory

Thanks
