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?
Just want to confirm a machine running a 2019 Remote Desktop Session Host will need a 2019 licensing server? If so, can we have it on separate server(on a different machine just running only the licensing server role).
On our Remote Desktop Session Host machine, we specified on group policy (gpedit.msc) to point to the licensing server and also choose CAL. The machine is in the same domain.
Background:
We recently deployed a 2019 RDS Host machine and found out after 120 days, we had issues. Our DCs are 2016. In a quick fix, the other admin pushed out a new 2019 machine running the licensing server role.
Thanks,
TT
Hi,
We have a Windows 2019 RDS farm with 2 session hosts. Our license server has 120 CALs available. A GPO directs the session hosts to the license server.
After a month of deploying it, our users started receiving the error:
“There is a problem with your remote desktop license and your session will be disconnected in 60 minutes. Contact your Administrator to fix this problem.”
Running RD Licensing Diagnoser on the session host showed that 50+ "Per User" licenses were available. Unable to find a solution I ended up rebuilding the whole farm from scratch. Today (a month later) the problem returned.
Deja vu, running RD Licensing Diagnoser on the faulty session hosts tells me that the license server is up, 55 out of our 120 licenses are available, and that the licensing mode is “Per User”.
The problem first affects one of the session hosts, then later the other. I see no errors or warnings in Event Viewer concerning the licensing services on either the session host or licensing server.
We have another RDS farm still running 2016 on this domain, and it has not displayed any of these problems.
Any help would be appreciated. I’d rather not rebuild this farm with 2016 (which is the only path I see to fixing this).
I work for a large utility supporting our distribution engineering design tools within a Citrix environment. A few years back we would have users reporting they were receiving this message when trying to launch the application in Citrix, "no Terminal Server License Servers available.. " The fix is very easy, we just perform the following steps,
Steps to fix Terminal License error:
In August 2017 we upgraded the software to a complete new version and have not seen the issue since until about three months ago. The same fix above resolve the issue but I would like to find a way to prevent it altogether.
My question is, does anyone know what is causing the issue to occur. Is the registry entry becoming corrupt or is there something in the background where it has expired?
Hi Everyone,
I was wondering if you know a way to manage memory allocation for users that connect to a Windows Server 2016 with the Remote Desktop Services role installed?
We currently have 512 GB of RAM and we have an average of 60 - 70 users connected daily on the server (only 1 instance). Users are reporting that the server is slow and I can see that only 80 - 90 GB or RAM is in use, everything else is on Cached memory.
Any ideas?
Thank you very much

Hello!
I'm having issues with my RD setup. I don't know exactly what happen, but it broke. If I try to log in via Internet Explorer it loads properly and I can access our resources. When I try Chrome/Firefox(from multiple computers in different locations) this happens.
I tried to attach screenshots, but my account has not been verified to do so. Basically the page loads almost empty without any of the fields to enter Username or Password. If I examine the source of the page this shows:

I installed RDS server in windows 2012 R2. Then as business need, we renamed servername1 to servername2. In Server Manager - Remote Desktop Services, there shows error "The following server in this deployment are not part of thee server pool"
1. servername1.domainname.com
The servers must be added to the server pool.
I tried to fix this problem by running powershell to remove servernmame1 and add servername2. but each get write error. Any help to result these are highly appreciated!

Hello,
I have a big RDS farm at a client, which mixes RDSH and RemoteApp session.
I'm able to publish those work resources into Session open into the RDSH collection of my farm. This way, my user (on their thinclient) are able to access the RemoteApp published by the collection, everything works fine, but I had to use the Windows 7 way, with the Powershell script and the feed.aspx file.
Everything fine this way, and our end-user are pleased to have direct access to the app from their Windows session.
But we also need to use redirected StartMenu via GPO, and when this is set, we cannot publish the Work Resources anymore.
I know that publishing those work resources create an entry in the start menu, but if I deactivate the publishing GPO, apply the redirected StartMenu GPo, I can't manually publish those Work Resources.
Any ideas of the why, and maybe the how to correct this ?
Regards
Hi!
I am testing RDS 2019 with RemoteApp, and I have problems with startup splash screens. Each splash screen creates a button on the client’s taskbar and does not disappear from desktop and taskbar after the appearance of the main window. For example, I run three RemoteApp and I have three splash screens and three program windows on my desktop. And even if I close these windows, the splash screens will still remain on desktop and cannot be closed. This happens only in RemoteApp and does not occur with a remote desktop mode. I tried to recreate an RDS farm again, but it does not help.
This does not happen with all programs (having splash screen), but with many. At the same time, there were no such problems at RDS 2012R2/2016.
As RDCB and RDSH used Windows Server 2019 with latest cumulative update (2019-01). As clients used Windows 10 1709/1809 with same update.
Hello,
I have a windows server 2019 workgroup joined that I recently installed with RDS roles.
all users are able to remote in, installed SSL certificate, configured all the tasks in rd gateway manager,
I have still not installed license server yet, still on trial version.
I tried to connect using "use these rd gateway server setting" and type the ip address but I get error message saying "your compuiter can't connect to the remote computer because "rdp gateway server address requested and the certificate
subject name do not match"
Problem is that we are not able to see en active connections under monitoring.

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.
Hi Everyone.
I Have a set up in which I have one Active Directory Server, two Gateway server and two RDhost server.
Active directory is to create users and give access to remote desktop app.
Two gateway server and two RDhost server are for high availability. Can any body help me to containerize this Model (SAAS) Model.
All this are in AWS
As announced on Ignite 2019 Azure MFA will be free for office 365 as well as for AAD administrators.
I have a setup with RDS 2019 and Azure MFA. Everything works fine and every user is licensed with an Azure AD Premium-license. The only reason that license is assigned is because we wanted to use Azure MFA for increased security on the RD Gateway.
Is it safe to say that I can remove these licenses now and still use Azure MFA, for free?
for reference: https://docs.microsoft.com/sv-se/azure/active-directory/authentication/concept-mfa-licensing
Thank you in advance,

After installed RDS CAL per device for Windows 2019, I get the following message
Number of license available: 0
The Remote Desktop Session Host server is in Per Device licensing mode and No Redirector Mode, but license server ig8906.com does not have any installed licenses with the following attributes:
Product version: Windows Server 2016
Licensing mode: Per Device
License type: RDS CALs or VDI Premium Suite licenses
Can someone advise if i need purchase RDS CAL 2016 license for my 2016 server? or changing configuration can fix this issue?
Thanks
I have 3 terminal hosts that is part of the collection.
I have added the windows search feature and then made sure to enable the service and turn to start automatically. But when I go to the indexing icon in control panel it does not show the local disk drive.
I found this article: https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/29142044/Windows-Search-not-working-when-Remote-Desktop-Session-Host-is-installed-on-Server-2019.html
It was June from last year, basically it's and issue and there is no workaround.
Wondering if anyone else had this issue and was able to fix it.
Hi,
I've been asked to setup a server running Windows Server 2016 Essentials to replace a rickity old server. I need to get this right and have sort of gone around in circles on Youtube and searching the Internet.
Essentials comes with 25 user CAL and 50 device CALs. We're planning on deploying a single server that will have a local domain controller (on the server).
There are about 100 people who will log into the server for about 10 - 20mins/day (maybe even 20mins/week).
Do I need a user CAL for each user in the AD that wants to connect to the server or does the CAL simply limit the number of concurrent users (people using the server at the same time), and do I need a separate RDS CAL for each user.
This server will need to communicate with a number of other back end servers through SMB, SQL and RDS. Is this where the device license comes in? because I want multiple users on this server to communicate with another device.
Appreciate I should get this, but its very different building a real world application and something you throw together in a virtual lab.
Thanks
Hi,
I'm running Server 2019. I set up all of my users & part of the config I need to use is to open a specific program when they logon. I did add the starting program in the user properties and checked the box "Start the following program at logon", but when I test the user, it opens to a desktop instead of running the program.
Does anyone know how I can enable this function so it works on a per user basis?
Thanks!
