Windows Server 2012 R2 - Remote Desktop Services warning

$
0
0
Hello,

I logged on today on a RDS server to perform some windows updates and i saw a warning that it says "Remote Desktop licensing mode is not configured. 
Remote Desktop Services will stop working in 33 days. On the RD Connection Broker server, use Server Manager to specify the Remote Desktop licensing mode and the license server.

Our production/RDS infrastructure consists of 4 vm's

Name    Roles
RDS1 -- RDS-RD-SERVER, RDS-GATEWAY
RDS2 -- RDS-RD-SERVER, RDS-CONNECTION-BROKER, RDS-WEB-ACCESS, RDS-LICENSING
RDS3 -- RDS-RD-SERVER
RDS4 -- RDS-RD-SERVER

On the disaster site we have again RDS on 4 vm's and the roles are like this:

RDS1 -- RDS-GATEWAY
RDS2 -- RDS-CONNECTION-BROKER, RDS-WEB-ACCESS, RDS-LICENSING
RDS3 -- RDS-RD-SERVER
RDS4 -- RDS-RD-SERVER

The message does not appear on the disaster site. Only on the production. I believe that someone tried to do something on the production site and messed up the roles. Could someone help me out with this issue?

Thank you in advance!

So our RDS server is currently windows server 2008 R2, and wanting to migrate or upgrade to a Windows Server 2016

With that being said, as of currently our RDS environment doesnt have  a load balancing function so everytime we go on to do a maintenence on oneof the server, we have to tell the user to connect to the secondary

from the next RDS server i want to implement a load balancing function so its a win win for both admin and the user

i did a little research and apparently by building a secondary RD broker server i can achieve this

i wanted to get some advice or help from you guys if its possible on regardain how i would go about this?

i have a lab environment so ican test it out, but i read somehwere that i cannot use SQL expresss in order to achieve the load balancing function

if anyone could give me an insight on how i can achive this it would be more than appreicated!

kind regards.

RDS Gateway and ADFS

I have a customer that would like to setup users from siteA.com to be able to log into RDS and get the full desktop to RDS servers in siteB.com but use credentials for siteA.com.  SiteA.com and siteB.com are completely different forests.  I have looked around and have gotten ADFS setup that works between the two sites but not sure how to integrate ADFS with RDS Gateway.  Especially when I look at setting up the RD CAP rules I can not see the other domain users.

Many thanks in advance for an assistance.

  

Server 2016 RDS Start Menu and Taskbar Issues

$
0
0

We're running a single RDS setup with Windows Server 2016 Standard and about 2 weeks back we started to experience Windows Start Menu and Taskbar issues where these functions would suddenly stop working for all of the RDS users.  We are not using profile disks and each user connects to the RDS via our gateway server and their profile is stored locally on the RDS server.  No desktop or Start Menu redirection is setup.  We have 25 RDS CALs and there's normally about 20 users logged into the RDS server.  The server is a physical server running a 12core Intel CPU with 32Gb of RAM and an NVME SSD Intel disk.

The desktop apps like Microsoft Office will continue to function fine but if you minimize the running apps, the user can not click on the minimized apps as the Taskbar doesn't respond along with the Start Menu.  The only thing that currently works is to logout the user session using Task Manager or to reboot the server.  When the user reconnects and gets a new session, the Start Menu and Taskbar will work for several hours before it goes back to the locked state.

I have read quite a few posts and I have re-installed the Windows apps with the following PS script:

Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}

I have run a full sfc /scannow and checked the health of the windows image.  These all complete fine without issue.

Tonight I have found some older posts from 2017 about Server 2016 RDS black screens that are caused by duplicate Windows firewall rules getting created for each user every time they login.  While we don't have the black screen issue, I'm wondering if our issues with the Start Menu and Taskbar could be related to this same duplicate firewall rules for each user.  When I checkedHKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\RestrictedServices\Configurable\System on our RDS, I am seeing thousands of entries.

Does anyone know if these duplicate firewall rules can cause the Start Menu and Taskbar issues?  If so, what's the proper way to delete them?

Thanks for any input.

RDP to Azure AD joined computer

I am trying to connect to a remote computer that is Azure AD joined. Both the client and host computer are running Windows 10 version 1809. Currently I am connecting without NLA to be able to authentication myself, but I would like to connect with NLA.

According to this article: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/client-management/connect-to-remote-aadj-pc this should be possible, providing you use the username format "AzureAD\JeroenDeWit" to connect. However, this results in an error stating "Your credential did not work. Remote machine is AAD joined. If you are signing in to you work account, try using your work email address." I can't post a screenshot because my account is not verified yet.

Other guides like https://cloudbuilder.io/documentation/Windows10Pro-RDP-AzureADJoined/ also suggest authenticating without NLA.

Am I doing something wrong or is Microsoft doing something wrong? :)

NO ACTIVE DIRECTORY and 2 TSE SERVERS : only one connection per user ?

$
0
0

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 ...


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.

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. 


RDS clients not connecting

windows 2012 r2, hyper-v, clients connect via rds website and then launch a rds session (vdi windows 10 vm). It was working, but then a few users reported being unable to connect. Silly me, I figured "apply latest updates and reboot" and now no one can connect. I updated and reboot the RDS and Hyper-V server (RDS is actually a VM running on the same Hyper-V server).

From the RDS server's RemoteDesktopServices-RDPCoreTS log a connection looks like this:

Event ID 131, the server accepted a new TCP connection from client blah blah blah

Event ID 65, Connection RDP-Tcp#0 created

Event ID 141, PerCounter session started with instance ID 0

Event ID 133 the following network characteristics have been detected for tunnel 8;...

Event ID 132, a channel rdplic has been connected between the server and the client using transport tunnel 0

Event ID 132, a channel rdpcmd has been connected between the server and the client using transport tunnel 0

Event ID 98, a TCP connection has been successfully established

Event ID 100, the server has confirmed that the client's multi-transport capability. (really bad English there BTW)

Event ID 130, the server has initiated a multi-transport request to the client, for tunnel 1

Event ID 130, the server has initiated a multi-transport request to the client, for tunnel 3

Event ID 135, the multi-transport connection finished for tunnel 1, its transport type set to TCP, reason code 3 (no UDP packets received)

Event ID 135, the multi-transport connection finished for tunnel 3, its transport type set to TCP, reason code 3 (no UDP packets received)

Event ID 103, the disconnect reason is 1033

Event ID 102, the server has terminated main RDP connection with the client

I've found articles about RemoteFX and disabling it via GPO and registry values - which I tried to no avail.

HELP!!! please!

Diagnoser shows Host Server Version Server 2016 When Running 2019

$

When I originally Activated the server licensing via Licenses Wizard using our schools Enrollment ID I may have used an older Enrollment ID number.

I think maybe that was the issue. All I know is when I when into the RD licensing Diagnoser it showed that the Remote Desktop Version Host Server Version is:  Windows Server 2016.

... AND I AM RUNNING WINDOWS 2019 ...

After trying everything i know DE-activating, then re-activating with a more current Enrollment ID for our high school. Did not change anything.

So, removed ALL the remote desktop services and then reinstalled and reactivated. Still did nothing to change the information in the Diagnoser.

The information still shows in the Diagnoser:  Windows Server 2016

HOW CAN I GET RID OF THIS PROBLEM? 


Thanks,

Dave


Issues putting Server 2019 RDS CALS onto Server 2016

$

We have been struggling with adding RDS CALS to Server 2016.  Understanding that 2019 has to be purchased and then downgraded.  Wizard is not taking it and the Clearing house had to manually push the CALs to the Server.  There are over 600 CALS that will need to be added, and we are afraid that the process will be to have the Clearing house manually push the CALS  to each server.

What is the current procedure for the RDS CALS activation?

but the license server does not have any installed licenses with the following attributes
Product Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2 Licensing mode:

In the license manager section, the green checkbox is checked but the error still exists. I reactivated the license but the problem has not been solved. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

Environment is all server 2016.

I have server that is past of the domain, but not part of any RDS deployment. It's a management server used by about 10 system administrators.

I also have a RDS deployment with a server that has the licensing role. Can i point the management server to the licensing server without adding it to the RDS deployment?


Blank printer when printing with Word Viewer on RDS 2019 session

$

I have a Windows Server 2019 as a Remote Desktop server, with an app that relies on Word Viewer 2003 for printing.

All printer redirect connect nicely, Clients are Windows 7 and Windows 10 and all work as it should, until I try to print. - Word Viewer shows only printer installed directly on server the user has rights to, and blank printer spot if there are no printers. (I uninstalled them). 

I even tried set up that only default printer redirects via GPO, but that didn't work either.

Does anyone knows if there was some permission change on Server 2019? Didn't have that problem before.

UPDATE: To illustrate:

https://pasteboard.co/I7nQnJP.png

https://pasteboard.co/I7nQNH8.png

UPDATE2: Also, when I select printer and print, the printer remains util the program session is finished. When I restart the program, the printers are lost again.


Load Balance between servers

$

Hi,

I need an advice.

I have 2 standalone servers. Each of them have RD Web, RD Connection Broker and RD Session Host roles installed. Users are using Full RDP session, no Published Apps.

Each user connect to server via RDP to: server1.contoso.com or to server2.contoso.com
Everything is working, but when i need to install updates it is a nightmare.

How can i setup a single rdp link, for example: remote.contoso.com ? Like that if i deny new connections to server2, once the existing connections expire i will be able to update the server transparently and without interruptions for the users. I prefer not to use DNS RR. May be some Load Balance in front (like KEMP) ? I'm not sure what exactly i need to balance ? RD web or RD CB ?
Thanks,
S
