Both systems are Windows 2016 Server.
Have anyone an idea and can help me please?

How to find what TLS protocol the Client requesting for RemoteApp
Hello,
I wonder what protocol does the client requests when launching the RemoteApp. We choose to Negotiate option for the collection and client compatible on security.
On the network traffic, we are only allowing TLS1.2. sometimes when a client launches the Remote app and they facing spinning issues " configuring remote session" and spins forever. Sometimes it will connect just fine. Wondering it could be because of the communication issue between client and RDS server.
Please help me how can I see whether it is a communication issue or not?

Handle Remote Desktop Idle timeout
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/
Is it possible to keep the RDP session from disconnecting on Idle Timeout?
Thanks in Advance.
Best,

Issue with RDP client on Windows 10
When a slight drop happens for users they don't get a reconnect message. It freezes up. This happens when users are using RDP from a Windows 10 machine
into an RDS. We have never seen the issue with Windows 7. Please advise on how to fix as this seems to be a bug.

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.

Virtual IP issues with server 2019.
We've attempted to set up up Virtual IP for our RDSH in Windows Server 2019 for a tricky application that requires it (NetDocuments NDClick). However, it appears that it doesn't work. Has this feature been deprecated in Windows Server 2019?
We did the exact same setup on our 2016-servers, and there it works perfectly fine.
Any ideas, or some updated documentation on the subject available?

Is there any limit on the amount of published applications on a RD Server?
Hello everybody.
We have an old Citrix farm, there each published application points to an Excel file (an individually customized BI report). Around 500 applications we have there.
So now we migrating this repository to a new RDS 2016 deployment, based on the Windows Server 2016 Standard x64.
We've created a PowerShell script, which make this publications automatically.
But after publication of around 60 RD apps Server manager stops responding, and RDS stops functioning. We've tried to reproduce this behavior under the Windows Server 2012 Standard x64 deployment - same result.
We've deployed 58 RD apps, and started to add RD apps one by one manually. Same result, after the publication of 61 or 63 Server manager stops refreshing, High Availability (but not necessary) RD Connection broker stops responding, and all the RD apps stops functioning.
An example of 23 published apps here:
It obvious that I could provide two files: the .ps script and the .ini so anyone could reproduce this situation (publish dummy RD apps) in their environment to check the situation... But would you? )

RDS lost network card and is now not working?
We have a customer wit a newly setup cloud server environment with RDS (single server). The first day of production the datacenter that holds the servers lost the NIC (virtual network card) in the VMware-environment.
We added a new NIC and the server was accessible again. But here is where the problems begin:
- The sessions is never registered and therefore the users cannot disconnect and later connect again
- The users need to remember to Sign Out every time they leave the RDP-session
If we look in the Server Manager on the RDS we get this error:
When running checks in Powershell we get these results:

HELP WANTED:
We need help in solving this situation once and for all. We would like this fixed without installing a new RDS as they have som difficult applications that we do not want to install again.
HOW do we get rid of the probable cause of this issue? Is it the first (lost) NIC's MAC-address that is causing this?
Is that MAC-address hidden somwhere in the Registry or in Windows Server 2016s own local DB?
Any tips on HOW this should be fixed is HIGHLY APPRECIATED!

Black Screen for Users in RDS 2016
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?

Windows Servr 2016 RDSH - Firewall rules created at every login.
Hi,
I have a setup with the following servers running Windows Server 2016
1x RDGW, RDCB, RDWA, RDLicensing.
5x RDSH
Im using UPD on the collection.
I have noticed very long login times, after policys etc are shown on screen it sits at a black screen for between 20sec and sometimes up to 5min.
I have also noticed that the svchost.exe that controls the Windows Firewall is using 25% to 50% when a user logs in and using around 1200Mb memory.
After I found this I checked the Windows Firewall with Advanced Security and found thousands of Cortana, Work or school account, Your account, Contact Support rules.
I found a script in this thread that could delete the rules https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/9aad7675-d1ba-4900-9d85-0cd117f5514f/new-firewall-rules-created-for-each-user?forum=win10itprosetup
This made the CPU usage and memory usage go down to normal levels, but after every login a user does it builds up the list of rules again. With many users logging in to the system the rules build up very fast and the login times gets high and every server gets slow.
Example on our RDSH01 server that have been running in production since 2017-04-13 the script found and deleted 66153 rules that it found with "$Rules = Get-NetFirewallRule -All | Where-Object {$profiles.sid -notcontains $_.owner -and $_.owner }"
The script also tryed to get rules with this command "$rules2 = Get-NetFirewallRule -All -PolicyStore ConfigurableServiceStore | Where-Object { $profiles.sid -notcontains $_.owner -and $_.owner }" but fails with an "not enough space error"
The script removes the rules from here with the content of $rules "HKLM:\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\FirewallRules"
and $rules2 was meant to clean up at "HKLM:\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\RestrictedServices\Configurable\System"
but doesnt do anything because of the error on the Get-command. If I try to access it with regedit it stops to respond, guessing there are too many items in that container for it to handle.
Anyone know a solution for this problem?
Regards Fredrik

Printing Issue with Remote Desktop
2012 R2 is the OS. Client machines range from Windows 7 to Windows 10. We have some recent reports lately that when users go to print it looks like
it's passing through but doesn't print. Same users on the server can print. We noticed this started after recent updates. Is there an update that cause this issue? I am noticing more on one machine than the others but still an issue.

Hi,
I have a RDS 2016 server. I need to install a local printer queue for some reason. This printer needs to be available for all users that logon to the server.
If i install that printer using my administrator account, will it be available for all users? Or do i need to install it somehow under every users login? If so, how can i achieve that?

NO ACTIVE DIRECTORY and 2 TSE SERVERS : only one connection per user ?
Hello,
As you can see in the title, I would like to allow 1 RDP connection per user, between 2 TSE servers that are not Inside a Active Directory.
Is it possible ?
My idea is :
1 + Build 2 scripts started at the opening user session.
2 + Scripts do : check the rdp connection list (logins) and compare with the opening login
3 + Scripts do : if there is already a connection, the session is closed.
(or the other session already connected is closed ... then2 scenarios).
How to do this ?
Regards,
PS : It could be great to use AD, instead these scripts ...but my boss don't want to use AD ...

Read/Write access of DVD drive through RDP
Hello all,
I have a windows 2016 sever that about 4 users RDP to run an application on the server. This application has files that need to be backed up in multiple places. Since we moved the application from a PC to a server, we have one into one issue regarding our DVD backups. When we insert a blank CD into the drive, only the local admin and domain admin are allowed to read/write. I've changed the local group policy to allow this, I've added certain users to the local admin groups as well as power users. When we try to access it with one of the user accounts other than local Admin and domain Admin, we get a disk unreadable error. My work around right now is to have the user log on as local admin and run the disk back up but I'd like to get this figured out and resolved. Thanks for any help in advance.

Hide and Seek
I'm looking for an answer that seems to be a common question, but I'm not finding answers that exactly fit in the threads.
We have a WS2012 domain with WS2016 Remote Desktop Services running a session host.
Users connect via the RDWeb gate on the WS2016 machine.
We need:
1. to hide the local drives on the session host (the WS2016 machine).
2. keep the user's local profile on the 2016 server but have their default drives be a network drive (meaning they can't see, or save to, their local profile on the session host either).
3. to still let them see the local drives of the machine they used to access the gate (meaning for example, they still need to see their computer out in the field, from the workspace.
4. we DO NOT want the restrictions on the session host to be forced on them on their regular company computers.
In a nutshell, if you sign into the RDWeb gate and start a session, you'll only have Explorer in the list.
When you open that, you should only see the network drive being assigned to you and no other drives or folders.
