Server 2019 and RemoteFX USB redirection problems

$
0
0

Following testing scenario:

- All in one RDS Server (Broker, Host, Licensing and WebAccess)

- Two identical ThinClients with two connected USB audio devices (Lync Phone Edition and USB-Soundcard) - UserA and UserB

- RemoteFX USB redirection enabled 

- no GPOs except RemoteFX are set for testing purposes

So if the first UserA logs in, everything seems fine. RemoteFX devices are redirected and both audio devices are set as default (soundcard as default audio and LPE as default communication device) After UserB logs in, his devices are also redirected and set as default - no problems at all. But at the same time as UserB logs in, the default Audiodevices of UserA are unset. If i set the default audio devices manually for UserA, they are unset for UserB.

I have made the same testing on Server 2016 - no such Problems.

We had the same scenario running in productive enviroment on Server 2012R2 for about 5 years, this issue didnt occure.

RDS connexion when Broker goes down

Hello,

We have 2 RDS server in 2019 and one for the RDBC role. We also have a DNS round Robin entry: SRV-RDSFARM pointing to the two RDS servers. We configure remotapp connexion with the SRV-RDSFARM address but if the broker server goes down, we cannot connect to remoteapp anymore... I read everywhere that when the broker goes down, we should only loose the Load balancing and the reconnect to existing session after a network problem features but we should be able to keep connect to the RDS farm but its not our case... so whats wrong with our settings please?

Thanks 

Regards

Hello everyone,

I'm currently analyzing the best way to move my Remote Desktop Services from a Windows Server 2012 environment to  a Windows Server 2016 environment.

What I currently know about the scenario:

- Connection Broker and License Server are in separate servers

- There are 3 RD Hosts

- All server run Windows 2012 (not  R2)

What would be the best course of action in this case? Having the minimum amount of downtime

Thank you in advance for the help.

Remote Desktop Session Host Server - RAID10 vs RAID1

$

Scenario:

VMware ESXi 6.7 U2 Server

-2 x 8 core CPUs with hyperthreading

-64GB of memory

Virtual Machine 1:

-Domain Controller / file server

Virtual Machine 2:

-Terminal Server (remote desktop session host server)

-10-20 users

Storage setup for ESXi Server

Option 1. Go with 4 x 10K RPM drives in RAID10

-Virtual Machine 1: domain controller / file server

-Virtual Machine 2: terminal server

Option 2. Go with the following

2 x 7K RPM drives in RAID1

-Virtual Machine 1: domain controller / file server

2 x SSD drives in RAID1

-Virtual Machine 2: terminal server

For the storage setup, is Option 2 a better setup than Option 1? I’m not concerned about the file server drive speed but more concerned about the terminal server drive speed.


RDP connection to Windows XP

Hi there,

I'm connecting to a Windows XP SP3 via RDP and I'm experiencing slow monitor refresh rates whenever no user input is present.
I use a program with an animation and whenever I move my mouse or press a key (like 3-5 per second) the animation runs super smooth. No user input however slows down the animation to a point where I am not able to use the program efficiently anymore.

Is there a way to force the refresh rate to a maximum or to simulate the user input? I don't really want to sit there and spam a key all the time ;)

Thanks in advance,
Jan

RemoteFX on Hyper-V Console but not through RDP

$

Hi,

have a hard time right now. My setup is a Windows Server 2016 on a HP DL380p Gen8 Server with a Nvidia Quadro K4000 GPU. My goal was to create a VDI with user based Windows 10 Enterprise desktops my users can connect to with RemoteFX enabled.

Unfortunately I cant get it to work. As soon as I enable the RemoteFX GPU within the Hyper-V settings of any of the VM's I cant connect via RDP from another Windows 10 with MSTSC anymore.

- I get the user/password promt and enter both. (I now the authentication works because if I enter wrong credentials I get an password error)

- I see the "Remote Connection is being secured..." message and a second later the error message: "Your Remote Session has ended, possibly for one of these reasons:. The Administrator ended, the session Network Error...

BUT:

If I RDP into the Hyper-V Server (RDVSH) and open the Hyper-V Manager I can click on the same machines console and login - with RemoteFX enabled (as I can see within device manager "Microsoft RemoteFX Graphics Adapter WDDM...")

If I remove the GPU using Hyper-V Manager I can connect from the Windows 10 client with MSTSC to my VM Windows 10 just fine.

Other things I checked:

- Using Windows Server 2019 (same effect)

- clean non-domain windows 10 machine (same effect)

- MSTSC with the 10 MBit LAN option and not automatic detection (same effect)


Multiple terminal server session

$

We have deployed windows 2019 terminal servers and found that user were return to parent windows of defferent session when closing child window. For example,

Session 1: User logged in to the server using published application. Opens child window from the same session.


Session 2:  Same User logged in to published application (which gives the same session on the server), launch the windows. Opens child windows.

Issue: when user closes child windows from session 2, it takes him to parent windows of session 1.

We never had this issue for windows 2008 terminal server session. 

So is there any settings in the window server 2019 that should activate parent windows of the same session.

Thanks



remoteFX USB redirection

$

I have a Server 2012R2 VM hosted on hyper-v.

I can manage the VM, but not the hyper-v.

I want to connect to the VM with RDP (from a windows 10 computer), and redirect a local USB (some license dongle). And I hoped remoteFX could do that.

HOW do I get remoteFX to work? I have trawled througt a lot of guides and blogs, without luck.

It seems that the VM, being 2012R2, does not require vGPU, and hence the hyper-v host does not need to be able to provide that. I cannot determine if the hyper-v host MUST have the RD Virtualization Server role installed or not (I hope not)

It seems that all it takes on server VM is to enable remoteFX/USB direction, and to install Desktop Experience.

And to disable "do not allow supported plug and play device redirection" on on the server" and enable "Allow RDP redirection of other supported RemoteFX USB devices from this computer.”  on the client.

Yet, it seems not to work. Any help is appreciated.

Getting 4 minute freezes on Remote Desktop Session Host VMs in Azure

$

In the early morning and occasionally during the working day we are experiencing lots of 4 minute freezes in our Remote Desktop Session Hosts (Windows Server 2016) running in Azure. The servers are quite big as they are serving Windows 10 like general desktop sessions to 30+ users.

Only some of RDSH VMs are affected on each occasion. Different hosts on different occasions. One host may be hit twice in a single period. A period of freezes may be spread out up to an hour. There are more VMs affected in the early morning after they all power on than during the day.

I have a background script running on the VMs watching for Audio service hang ups and its logging indicates the 4 minute freezes involve the CPU pausing. Essentially if the CPU wasn't pausing the script would be logging a message after just 1 minute. My guess is the Azure Hyper-V hosts are automatically rebalancing on changes in load and to do so are migrating VMs between hosts. As our VMs use a lot of memory I believe the 4 minutes is mostly the time taken to copy the RAM contents to the other Hyper-V host.

Is this a reasonable conclusion? Are there other possible causes?

Has anyone managed to prevent their VMs from being moved?

Renaming Windows Domain Name Breaks RDS setup

$

Hi Everyone,

Im new to this forum and unfortunately i do not have enough experience to move past the issue that im currently facing. 

To give you an overview on the current task at hand. I have a domain controller(2016) with RDS installed on one of the domain joined windows servers(2016). Basically to protect myself from any unexpected issues i have cloned the servers into an isolated environment to test on the renaming process before actually performing on production. 

I have went through multiple articles and blogs on the process of renaming a domain name ie. ABC.local to ABZ.local.

The main issue is when the domain name is renamed(completed successfully), the RDS deployment breaks as it still detects the old server vm1.abc.local instead of the updated vm1.abz.local. 

Most of the blogs available mention that it might be necessary to completely remove the roles and then re-add them back, however from my understanding it looks like the issue is primarily the server not updating its fqdn in the RDS deployment

I would really appreciate any advice on this matter and in the mean time i will continue to try and solve it. 

Thank you. 


RDP latency from Windows 10 to Server 2016

$

My desktop is running Windows 10 v1803. My servers are running Windows Server 2016. All devices are connected through the same switch. All devices are patched, running the latest supported drivers and have the Windows Firewall disabled.

Ping latency is <1ms and file transfers are hitting gigabit speeds between Windows 10 and Server 2016.

I can successfully initiate an RDP connection (using MSTSC / no 3rd party software) from Windows 10 to Server 2016. However, the responsiveness of that connection is disturbingly sluggish. 1 mouse click takes 3-5 seconds to register.

In comparison, if I RDP between servers (2016 to 2016) I can stream YouTube smoothly This is not achievable from Windows 10.

Any ideas on what might be causing this behavior?

RDweb Web Client 1.0.18.0 Text Issues

I just updated my RDWeb web client to version 1.0.18.0. The upgrade went smoothly, but I'm experiencing a strange issue. My RDweb is in a load-balanced cluster using NLB. When I connect through the NLB cluster, some of the text in the interface appears to use placeholder values as in this screenshot:



However, when I connect directly to one of the nodes, the text displays as expected.

Can anyone offer a suggestion to fix this?

Fast Keyboard input

$

Hello,

we're currently facing the problem that we want to scan a QR Code with a simple 2D Scanner. The scanner itself is a simple HID/Keyboard device which "types" the content so that you can see the output in Notepad or any other text editor. On the client itself the output is fine and correct. But if I scan the exact same QR Code into a terminal server session, the output is different. The problems are here that Upper- and Lowercase errors occur. So that a "D" become a "d" or a """ becomes a "2" (German keyboard). We where able to reduce the problem with a setting in the scanner so that the devices "types" slower. But with the highest latency settings such errors can still occur.

The question is, if there's an option on the Terminalserver or in mstsc to prevent this issues?

I'm thankful for any help or idea!

Edit: On the client site, I've disabled all accessibility features as I found an old Article about Windows Server 2003 with a similar problem.

About RD Vulnerability CVE 2019 1181-CVE 2019 1182-CVE 2019 1222-CVE 2019 1226

Hello

Given this newly found vulnerability I have a question.

We use Remote Desktop Gateway to accept connections, but we are not exposing port 3389 (is blocked in our perimeter FW). Instead, we use a certificate and a secure 443 connection to access from outside our network to the RD Gateway, which then internally process the request.

Are we "covered" with this configuration, so we can carefully plan the patch roll out?

Thanks!

Disconnected sessions not being logged off after timeout

Hi all,

Confused with this.  We have a collection which is set to log disconnected sessions after 5 minutes.  This is also set in a group policy.  The brokers are server 2016, session hosts are a 50/50 split between 2016 and 2019 whilst we fully test 2019.  Happening on both 2016 and 2019.

I'm looking at the list of users right now and can see two who have been disconnected an hour ago.

any ideas?

Thanks
