Currently we are running Windows Server 2016 RDS with User Profile Disk. We are looking at installing FSLogix so we can do cached Outlook mode with indexing and OneDrive.
If we install FSLogix Office 365 User Profile Containers what happens to the current User Profile Disk? Do we just point the containers to where they are located and it works without issue? Or does it create a new User Disk for the users?
Thank you
Hi everyone,
This is my first post in this website ! :)
I try to deploy an RDS solution with 3 RDS Server (Windows Server 2016) and 1 RDS Broker (Windows Server 2016).
All servers are in VMWARE Environment
My RDS servers have RemoteApp (1 per server) and I have an issue with one.
First I deploy my RemoteApp, no problems, no errors messages.
Next, I connect to my Web RemoteApp Work Ressources and I download the RemoteApp file (.rdp file)
Now Impossible to open it because the application can't find the remote computer. When I edit the rdp file I have some missing arguments :
I try to remove my RDS server VM and create new one with the same name, but same problem.
In this example I tried to deploy calc32 in RemoteApp.
When I go in regedit I see that arguments are missing but I don't know why.
If y ou have ideas to repair, Thanks for your future answers!
Sincerely, :)
Hi all,
We have made a RDS Farm to deploy a Virtual App. After configuring the roles, we have this structure:
server 1 and 2 are in DMZ VLAN, and server 3, 4 and 5 in midd VLAN. To publish our public DNS, we use a pool into VIP F5 that balance the connections with Round Robin mode and assign a static public IP to this DNS.
All roles are in HA: RD bróker have a DNS RR register with the server 1 and 2 IP, RDGateway is duplicated on both servers, RD Web Access and IIS is installed on both servers and the RDSH role is blanacing via RDBokrer service.
The question is: Is possible to check the health status of every role (RD Gateway, RD Bróker and RD Web Access) to remove of the F5 pool the machine when some role is out of service in a server1 or 2 ?
Thanks!

Hello,
I am currently evaluating RemoteApp to deliver applications to our roaming users. It is working well.
However, whenever user reconnects, it creates a new session rather than hooking up to a disconnected session. My requirement is that till the time a disconnected session does not end, user must reconnect to their corresponding disconnected sessions only.
I have tried configuring following Group Policy Settings on the Session Host Server, but could not achieve the objective:
Request if someone can guide me about some missing configuration to achieve the objective.
Thanks,

But when when we connect through Ncomputing Vspace session thin client and we are getting the below error message.
Please help on this issue.

Hello, I am trying to access an EMR system for a new client and have been able to access it from my personal computer and from other computers, but not from my work laptop. I keep getting the error message " You're computer can't connect to the Remote Desktop Gateway server. Please contact your system administrator for assistance." when I try to connect. I have spoken to as many system administrators as I could, have worked with two different IT teams, and no one can seem to figure out what is wrong! If anyone has any ideas of how to fix this I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you!
Hi Experts,
This project just dropped on our face and we need to prepare things fast. One thing we need to confirm is this. Will 2012 CAL works on Windows 2016 RD Licensing Server? Client's new environment has a Windows 2016 RD Licensing Server and their old RD Licensing Server is a Windows 2012 with 2012 CALs on it. If it works, we can migrate it this way, correct? Please advise.
Thank you so much in advanced!!

When I try to connect using RDP the host screen turns black and remains black after remote client disconnects. If I then try to reconnect, the remote shows the same black screen as the host. If I disconnect the remote and retry connection I continue to get black screen unless I delete credentials and manually enter the same password as was previously saved. The connection is then shows the actual screen.
However, when remote client is disconnected the host remains stuck on black screen and unresponsive to any keyboard input. Cntl+Alt+Delete does nothing. The monitor power light is blue which indicates the monitor is not in a sleep mode, but display is hung on black. The only way I have found to bring it back is to hold the power off button for 10 seconds, then restart.
I have tried:
-reverting back to the Microsoft generic driver by deleting display driver
-booting in safe mode
-doing a clean boot with all services disabled except Microsoft, Intel and Acer, plus all startup programs except for core essential
-disabling persistent bitmap caching on client machine in RDP experience tab
-changing colors to 24 bit
-changing Local Policy on host machine [Use WDDM graphics display driver for Remote Desktop Connections] to Disabled.
I have also tried all the suggestions at this link
https://www.kapilarya.com/fix-black-screen-with-remote-desktop-in-windows-10
...except for installing the suggested patch because that patch seems to be for 1903
I had the same problem with an earlier build but there was a patch that fixed it. But with the latest update, it's back.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I am looking at deploying around 8 Terminal server across our offices. All offices are in the same domain and interconnected. At the central site I am looking at deploying the licensing server. Am I right in thinking that I can use 1 central licensing server to allot the licenses?
Next am I also right in thinking that RDS user cals are allotted to each specific user and cannot be reallocated to another user (So not concurrent users but specific named users) and the only way to release the license would be to remove them from the AD.
We would also be looking to run MS office on each Terminal server, How does the licensing work for this, so for example if I have an office with 5 TS users do I need to buy 5 Open licenses for office and 5 RDS user cals. (we do not use Office 365) Or can I buy an open license for 40 copies of office and 40 RDS users?
I have a Server with Server 2016 Standard installed with the Essentials Role, I also have 5 RDS licenses. Can I enable RDS licensing on this server and activate the5 licenses for RDS to work without breaking RWW?
I can't find a definitive answer.
Thank you
I currently have 2008R2 TS server. I have purchased new RDS cals for 2019 and a server license.
I have the RDS cals installed on the license server ok.
What roles do I need to install for RDS. I have selected the quick setup for RDS in Add Roles Features but this installed Remote Apps and Web Gateway.
I dont require these roles, I would just like a Sessions host server as it will be internal only for around 10 users.
Is this possible? Can the apps and gateway be removed?
Many thanks
I remote desktop to my Window 10 Surface laptop via LAN (to use Outlook from the laptop) allowing me to create send/emails on the Surface laptop via remote desktop from my desktop PC. This has been working fine for 2+ years. Recently the Surface 10 has started ending the remote desktop session randomly perhaps 2 or 3 times per day. The worst parts is that it also terminates all running applications so when I can finally remote desktop back in my Outlook sessions have been lost. This is frustrating as I have lost a lot of drafted emails.
(I’ve setup Outlook to save every 1 minute but even so sometimes I lose the active email I'm working on in Outlook or recently received emails - I've lost lots of work because of this - it is driving me crazy.)
If I try to immediately log back in via RDP I sometimes get:
The number of connections to this computer is limited and all connections are in use right now. Try connecting later or contact your system administrator
I wait and try again and I can log back in but all my applications have been terminated. Perhaps the user session is being logged out and back in – I can’t tell.
Why on earth would all apps be terminated - it's as if the Surface computer user session is logged out and terminates all running apps for absolutely no reason.
There are no failed attempts in System Event Log Security, only forced log off. I noticed over 100 Audit Success security events at same time:
Credential Manager credentials were read.
Subject:
Security ID: DOMAIN\My Name
Account Name: My Name
Account Domain: DOMAIN
Logon ID: 0x1A293A3D8
Read Operation: Enumerate Credentials
This event occurs when a user performs a read operation on stored credentials in Credential Manager.This is then followed with:
An account was logged off.
Logon Type: 3
This event is generated when a logon session is destroyed.
It may be positively correlated with a logon event using the Logon ID value.
Logon IDs are only unique between reboots on the same computer.
Windows System Events at arounds this time shows a number of Errors:
The server {AAC1009F-AB33-48F9-9A21-7F5B88426A2E} did not register with DCOM within the required timeout.

Hi,
I am facing an issue with published application which is hosted in RD session host.
The Event viewer application logs shows as 4005 -[Windows logon process has unexpectedly terminated]
when we are launching the application via RD web access, it just simply hangs and it process nothing.
Thanks,

We have recently faced many problems with our infrastructure based on the rds 2016 system. The most common problems are:
login issues (when attempting to login, users are thrown back to the login screen)
problems with redirecting usb devices
connecting to CB in server manager takes a good few minutes.
How can I investigate what is the reason of this issue? Which logs and which CB / SQL / GW / WA servers are best to check? T hank you in advance for your response.
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!
Hi All,
The basics...
I want to build 3x "jump box" RDS Servers in 3x different departmental subnets with firewalls between each subnet in a single domain, single forest.
Currently only the required ADDS, DNS and DHCP network ports / flows are allowed between each departmental subnet. All other services for each department sit within their own subnets....RDP will be the only exception...I need to be able to assign security groups the ability to RDS into either DEV / UAT / OFFICE networks from the OFFICE network where our users log into and sit from a domain perspective.
I have got all 3 jump box RDS servers working but only if I leave TLS 1.0 / 1.1 /1.2 enabled on the RDS servers...my company security policy requires us to use TLS1.2only and have the older two protocols disabled.
Where and how can this configuration be made and changed, in my EventVwr checks and online reading it seems I need to address 1 or 2 or both of the below to work.
1. WinRM
I'm currently unable to PSRemote from one subnet to another. Will addressing the required ports and directional flows for WinRM resolve this alone or...
2. TLS Requirements
Do I need to somehow address TLS 1.2 config - this confuses me as I though TLS 1.2 was default for Server 2016?
As always, thanks in advance for your time...

Hi,
I'm sure this has been asked many times before, and I'm probably just missing something simple but we've built a new RDS 2016 system consisting of 2 Connection Brokers and a few RDS Hosts which will be used for plain Remote Desktops.
Clients are getting certificate warnings when connecting as the DNS name for the farm (RDSFARM.domain.com) is different to the host name on the self-signed certificate which is presented. We have a wildcard cert which we could use, in place of a SAN certificate, but I'm unsure where we configure this.
In the RDS Server Manager, you can configure the RD Conncection Broker for SSO, Publishing, Web Access and RD Gateway but these aren't related to what I'am talking about are they?
I've also tried putting this wildcard cert into the RDS system certificate store and removing the self signed cert, but no luck doing that. So what is the right way to configure this?
Thanks in advance,
Dave
Hi,
All our win 10 1903 clients, immediately after been updated from 1803 to 1903 start repeating keystrokes in remote apps. Servers are 2012 R2. RemoteFX cannot be disabled on session hosts servers since that solution causes problems to some of the apps running. Any one facing the same problem ? Any solution?
I want to generate usage reports for RdWeb month on month to know how many users have logged in each day. I'm doing it manually by exporting the terminal gateway event logs as csv, trim, sort out date format, etc.. which is a tedious job as I have to do it for 14 environments. Looking for automation ideas to avoid manual work and set up a dashboard which will display as on date usage and option to download the data.
Can someone throw some light as how a dashboard can be created directly by reading the event logs
