RDWeb Webclient version 1.0.11 websocket connection error

$

0

Hi, after install the webclient and bind certificate to port 3392, I get this error message.

WebSocket connection to 'wss://dc.redecr.intranet:3392/rdp' failed: Error in connection establishment: net::ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT

There is no firewall between the client and the server, the port 3392 is open on RDS Server 2016. 

Any ideas?

Thank You

RDS Deployment, Server 2012 R2 and 2016, cannot connect when added as a remote resource on modern app

$

Hello,

I've been having an issue connecting to new RDS deployments, either Server 2012R2 or 2016, using the modern client (UWA?).

If I connect to the rdweb site via  browser, any browser (Chrome, IE, Edge), I can connect fine w/ the downloaded RDP file, either via the old mstsc client, or the modern client.  If I open the modern client and add my deployment as an RDS resource, it adds file, but when I try to connect, it doesn't do anything.  Monitoring network traffic, it doesn't even try to connect to the rpcproxy.dll,or even send any packets on the wire to my gateway.

Doing some digging, I see the rdp file is saved in my user profile (C:\Users\#####\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.RemoteDesktop_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\RADC\{9AFF1AD1-C68D-FC28-FA01-4BD806FA43E4}-Committed\Resource) without an extension.  If I copy the file from there, give it a .rdp extension, I can also connect with that file via either client.

I also don't appear to be able to add the remote resources, at all, via the IOS RD Client.  I haven't tried Mac or Android yet, waiting to stabilize this config, but perhaps that's a separate issue.  I don't see it trying to logon or connect to webfeed.aspx on the RDSWeb page at all.

These would all be the lastest iterations of the clients, I just started this whole setup about a week ago.  I've tried a standard deployment in 2016, then a quick deployment in 2016, and finally a quick deployment in 2012 R2.  I'm familiar with all the cert requirements, etc, I don't think it is any sort of cert issue.  I will say the 2012 R2 quick deployment seemed to work OK initially, until I added 2016 session hosts to the deployment, but now I can't say for sure.  If needed, I could do another quick deployment to verify.

Any insights would be great.  If we can only use rdweb and have users open RDP files I guess we're OK with that, but not ideal.

Thanks!

Privacy on a Terminal Server

$
0
0

Hi,

to prevent users from knowing about other users on a terminal server what can I do?

By default users could:

-browse c:\users\*
-use taskmgr.exe
-tasklist
-qwinsta
-netstat
-? perhaps other commands, applications

to gain information about other users on a Terminal Server like Account Name, processes used, Network Connections.

I could prevent access to the obvoius like eventvwr + other administrative tools, c-drive or adjust permissions on qwinsta.exe but with cmd.exe and taskmgr.exe it already is difficult because it limits users e.g. from ending a hanging process.

Ideally it also would require to whitelist every single allowed application and prevent execution of portable software for users.

Are there any recommendations?

thank you

Roaming profile users getting temporary profile message

$
0
0

Several users across two different terminal servers are being forced into using a temporary profile.  I have no way of knowing if they are logging off (despite continued re-education) or if they are just disconnecting, leaving the session to be interrupted later.  The only way I've found to fix it is to reboot the Terminal server.

If I check regedit under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList, I don't see a .bak.  I can sometimes see the ProfileImagePath is to a temp folder.

The users have a roaming profile that's saved to the fileserver upon logoff.  I can get into the folder, but if I try to go to a sub folder, I don't (as a domain admin) suddenly have access.  So the profile server isn't able to do anything either.  I could probably TAKEOWN on the folder, but that's not telling me what's causing this issue.

Is there anyway to fix this without rebooting?  Also, what could be causing this?  We've had more in the past 3 months than since I've started working here.

Windows Server update Shows black screen of death

$

Hi all

This morning I have experienced a black screen of death on both my exchange server and domain controller. these are physical servers.

The Servers go on but after the Windows Logo, it just goes dark, no curser and I cant control-Alt-delete.

My suspicions is that it is a update that came through during the weekend.

What I tried.

I cant restore because It didn't set a restore point

I tried fixing the MBR but since it logs through and shows the windows logo that might mean the MBR is intact

tried all safe mode options but nothing.

I am running out of ideas,

So the Question is how do I remove an update from the server if t doesn't want to log in Windows?

your responses will be much appreciated

Server 2016 - suddenly poor VM experience

$
0
0

We are running a 2016 Datacenter server under Azure. The server is primarily an RDS running Office Pro Plus and a couple of SQL backed applications.

Since Monday we've had problems with the user experience, with applications failing to clear down (Chrome was installed, would open once and close but then fail to open again - Chrome process remaining in background.)

The notifications for printing, new emails etc would appear but then fail to close afterwards. Left click on the start button would stop working and user experience was generally poor with noticeable lag on moving items on the screen. This sounds like a Shell type issue.

We have removed Chrome, disabled Skype for Business through GP, dialed down AV. We have run SFC /Scannow which found errors and fixed all except problems with Task Scheduler.lnk

Server is back up and we're waiting for it to happen again. Latest patch KB4489889 is applied, though this came out after the first problem.

What else might I have missed?

RDP Reconnect sending bad password || Windows Event ID 4625: An account failed to log on

$

Issue: User Logs onto Client Machine remotely, then connects to Corp VPN and does RDP to any Corp machine. In case the VPN disconnects or client machine loses network connectivity momentarily, the RDP session re-establishes the connection.  When it re-establishes a connection, it logs a bad password attempt on the users account.  If this happens too many times, users are experiencing account lockout.

Upon checing the logs, I see that the Terminal Service is sending the bad password.

Can anyone suggest what could be the possible issue?

RemoteApp and Desktop Connections update problem 0x8007052e

Hello,

In our company environment we are using Windows 2012 R2 based RDS farm deployment with 2 HA connection brokers(these 2 servers are also have Web access role installed). All client PC's have  Windows 8 OS installed. We publishing remote application programs for our users via RemoteApp and Desktop Connection. Everything works fine except on thing that time to time RemoteApp and Desktop Connection are not updating and shows this error:

Then we clicking "update now" system asking  to enter credentials. After the entering domain username and password everything is updating. After this procedure updating works fine 2-4 weeks and then start failing again. Our users required to change password every 3 months. That means password changing can't be the reason of this error.

Maybe it can be related with server rebooting? All RDS farm machines reboots once per month during the server patching

Thanks for help in advance.

RDS2019 - Compatibility --> High DPI settings stop working when RDS role enabled

$

Hi.

We are rolling out RDS 2019 in our environment. We've got a lot of complaints about the DPI settings not being able to set in the session anymore like in 2008R2, but it has to be done on the local client, which is really cumbersome. However, when done so, we still have some applications with issues.

Now, for most of them I can fix it by setting the compatibility settings:



On a Server 2019 test machine, when set to Application, the application actually shows up fine. On RDS2019 though, it doesn't. I've been working on this for a while, until I installed a machine from scratch, do one step of our installation script at a time, and see where it started failing. It turn out as soon as we enable the RDS role, the DPI settings don't have any effect anymore, and the app is all blurry.

When I remove the RDS role, they start working again. Would anyone know how to fix this?

Start program for RDP users on login on Windows Server 2019

Hi

I recently upgraded from Windows Server 2016 to 2019. On Windows Server 2016 I could define an initial program for the remote user in his usersettings, according to this guide:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/de-DE/c73d0676-baab-4d54-801b-92e3b7e34365/start-program-for-rdp-user?forum=ws2016&prof=required

This apparently does not work anymore.
Is there a new solution for this problem or was the feature completely removed?

RDS 2016 - Start Menu freeze

Hi all,

We're currently experiencing issues at a random interval with regards to freezing start menu's on Server 2016 RDS Hosts.
When the freeze happens we can see the following items in the eventlog: Event ID 5973

Seems to be related on a per user base, as multiple users can connect to the RDS server but only a few of them are experiencing issues.

We are using User Profile Disks and Start Menu redirection. Any thoughts?

"Activation of app Microsoft.Windows.Cortana_cw5n1h2txyewy!CortanaUI failed with error: Not enough storage is available to complete this operation. See the Microsoft-Windows-TWinUI/Operational log for additional information."

"Activation of app Microsoft.Windows.Cortana_cw5n1h2txyewy!CortanaUI failed with error: The RPC server is unavailable. See the Microsoft-Windows-TWinUI/Operational log for additional information."

"Activation of app Microsoft.Windows.ShellExperienceHost_cw5n1h2txyewy!App failed with error: The remote procedure call failed. See the Microsoft-Windows-TWinUI/Operational log for additional information."

Old RDP Connections to Windows 2016

$

I have an issue with old Windows CE devices connecting to an new Windows 2016 terminal server. The old CE devices use the older login where you get connected to the server and then authenticate, as opposed to RDP 6, where is prompts you for credentials.

The CE devices are only 240x320 touchscreens (Old Motorola MC9090 RF guns), so what happens on the display is the username and password field are cut off, and users have a difficult time selecting these fields.

Previous Windows 2008, the login screen had a different orientation, so it was more user friendly for those devices. Any one have any ideas if its possible to rearrange the screen or change resolution on just this screen? 

I have tried just about everything and would really be disappointed to have to revert back to 2008 R2, just because of a login screen. Updating or getting new devices are not possible at this time. 

I have also tried:

  • to auto login the account - i know not secure, but could not get it to work
  • remove user profile picture - was not able to get the image removed.

This is a picture of what is displayed:

Thanks for any help on this.
