I am using a remoteapp application from a windows server 2019 setup. During this remoteapp session I am getting a popup concerning upgrading a malwarebytes subscription on the server.
I do not want users using a remoteapp to be seeing popups from the server ... how do I get rid of them from showing?
Invoke-WmiMethod -Class Win32_TSLicenseReport -Name GenerateReportEx
I am trying to apply a third-party wildcard cert to a RDS server farm. The .pfx is imported successfully for the RD Connection Broker roles, but gives an error "Could not configure the certificate on one or more servers..." when I apply it to RD Web Access. In the Event log, this generates event ID 20480 "Property page: Manage certificates update failed: due to Exception Failed to enumerate server SSL certificate information."
This is an internal farm, with no RD Gateway server, 1 Connection broker/Licensing/Web Access server, and three additional session hosts.
Hey RDS techies,
I have a license server with 30 Per device CALs installed on it. I've got another 45 Per user CALs now but by mistake I have installed them as Per Device CALs on same license server which created another keypack ID in licensing manager for these 45 CALs. All these 30+45 CALs are issued now, however, I would like to remove these 45 Per deivce CALs keypack now and want to install them as Per User CALs.
Is it possible ? I'm not sure if the "Convert partial/full licenses" option that is shown in licensing manager works here!
Also, I have come across below commands to uninstall particular keypacks from licensing manager,
Get-WmiObjectWin32_TSLicenseKeyPack
wmic /namespace:\\root\CIMV2 PATH Win32_TSLicenseKeyPack CALL UninstallLicenseKeyPackWithId X
So, do these commands give our RDS CALs back once it uninstalls them from particular keypack ???
I was thinking that, this only removes the entries from licensing manager but doesn't give our CALs back to re-use them!
Any help in clarifying these would be much helpful. Thanks in advance!
Hi there
Having issues with an RDS connection to a new 2012 R2 Server, fully updated, issue occurs to all Clients simultaneously. Sometimes brief disconnection (2 - 3 seconds) sometimes a lot longer.
Already performed the "keep alive=1" group policy hack but still happening.
Event ID40 reason codes 0 and 5 mainly - yet my licensing all checks out OK? I have 50 RDS cals but only 7 users - Ive split them into 25 per device and 25 per user to see if it makes any difference (No)
However The License diagnoser states that ZERO licenses have been issued? Is this a problem? Too much of a Noob to know myself.
many thanks
Hi. We have a new WS2016 RDS deployment (VMs on Hyper-V):
- 2x WS2016 RDGW in NLB
- 2x RDCB in HA configuration
- couple RDSH servers
The problem is that in 30-50% of the connection attempts via these gateways, the connection is stuck at the "Configuring remote session" message. The connection is never successfully estabilished when this happens and it is closed without any error couple minutes later. When you try again (or just immediatelly cancel the connection and reconnect), the connection may or may not go through.
When this problem happens, I can see there's single HTTP connection on the RDGW that accepted the connection with 0 bytes transferred in either direction. There are no related errors at this time.
Can anyone help? Btw. this problem also happens when connecting to a different single-host RDS deployment through these gateways.
I suspected the problem might be in the NLB, but removing either of the gateways from the NLB configuration (and from RDS farm) doesn't help, the issue is still there.
Rebooting the gateways helps for a short while (hours), but then the issue is back.
There are some other errors on the gateways, but these don't correlate to the connection attempts (event 210, source terminalservices-gateway: "Http transport: IN channel could not find a corresponding OUT channel" with no other details).
RDP clients are various ... W8.1, W10, Mac...
Hi,
I am facing an issue with published application which is hosted in RD session host.
The Event viewer application logs shows as 4005 -[Windows logon process has unexpectedly terminated]
when we are launching the application via RD web access, it just simply hangs and it process nothing.
Thanks,

I am looking at deploying around 8 Terminal server across our offices. All offices are in the same domain and interconnected. At the central site I am looking at deploying the licensing server. Am I right in thinking that I can use 1 central licensing server to allot the licenses?
Next am I also right in thinking that RDS user cals are allotted to each specific user and cannot be reallocated to another user (So not concurrent users but specific named users) and the only way to release the license would be to remove them from the AD.
We would also be looking to run MS office on each Terminal server, How does the licensing work for this, so for example if I have an office with 5 TS users do I need to buy 5 Open licenses for office and 5 RDS user cals. (we do not use Office 365) Or can I buy an open license for 40 copies of office and 40 RDS users?
Hi
We have a problem with logon times on our RDP 2012R2 servers. It must be related to the roaming profile.
The problem:
The users logon on via RDP. The profile gets loaded, applying group policy settings and so on, and then the "black screen" starts. I can take up to 15 minutes before the users desktop is visible and ready to work.
While there are black screen I can press CTRL+ALT+DEL and go to the task manager. The only process that is working is explorer.exe.
If we create a new profile the users are logged in less than a minute, but the logon process and the time for the black screen increases over time. It happens for all our users on our 30 RDS servers.
Any suggestions?
Hi
i am testing RDS 2019 and experiencing some "windows" hang and wont disappear again.
After a some test and changes to some GPO i can make the "window" black or white.
The problem roselves if this combination is clicked "<ctrl><alt><ende>"
The problem is similar to this social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/f64d1d8b-b99b-4e22-95be-38da6ed8f33c/remoteapp-rds2019-splash-screens-stuck-on-client?forum=winserverTS.
And i have done as they suggested but no luck.
Is there any fix to this that i might have missed?
Regards
I have a Server with Server 2016 Standard installed with the Essentials Role, I also have 5 RDS licenses. Can I enable RDS licensing on this server and activate the5 licenses for RDS to work without breaking RWW?
I can't find a definitive answer.
Thank you
When I try to connect using RDP the host screen turns black and remains black after remote client disconnects. If I then try to reconnect, the remote shows the same black screen as the host. If I disconnect the remote and retry connection I continue to get black screen unless I delete credentials and manually enter the same password as was previously saved. The connection is then shows the actual screen.
However, when remote client is disconnected the host remains stuck on black screen and unresponsive to any keyboard input. Cntl+Alt+Delete does nothing. The monitor power light is blue which indicates the monitor is not in a sleep mode, but display is hung on black. The only way I have found to bring it back is to hold the power off button for 10 seconds, then restart.
I have tried:
-reverting back to the Microsoft generic driver by deleting display driver
-booting in safe mode
-doing a clean boot with all services disabled except Microsoft, Intel and Acer, plus all startup programs except for core essential
-disabling persistent bitmap caching on client machine in RDP experience tab
-changing colors to 24 bit
-changing Local Policy on host machine [Use WDDM graphics display driver for Remote Desktop Connections] to Disabled.
I have also tried all the suggestions at this link
https://www.kapilarya.com/fix-black-screen-with-remote-desktop-in-windows-10
...except for installing the suggested patch because that patch seems to be for 1903
I had the same problem with an earlier build but there was a patch that fixed it. But with the latest update, it's back.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I currently have 2008R2 TS server. I have purchased new RDS cals for 2019 and a server license.
I have the RDS cals installed on the license server ok.
What roles do I need to install for RDS. I have selected the quick setup for RDS in Add Roles Features but this installed Remote Apps and Web Gateway.
I dont require these roles, I would just like a Sessions host server as it will be internal only for around 10 users.
Is this possible? Can the apps and gateway be removed?
Many thanks
Hi all,
We have made a RDS Farm to deploy a Virtual App. After configuring the roles, we have this structure:
server 1 and 2 are in DMZ VLAN, and server 3, 4 and 5 in midd VLAN. To publish our public DNS, we use a pool into VIP F5 that balance the connections with Round Robin mode and assign a static public IP to this DNS.
All roles are in HA: RD bróker have a DNS RR register with the server 1 and 2 IP, RDGateway is duplicated on both servers, RD Web Access and IIS is installed on both servers and the RDSH role is blanacing via RDBokrer service.
The question is: Is possible to check the health status of every role (RD Gateway, RD Bróker and RD Web Access) to remove of the F5 pool the machine when some role is out of service in a server1 or 2 ?
Thanks!
Gerardo,
Hi Im cracking my head here to implement a remote desktop services in my small business for employees to open up session based desktop connections. On premises of course, all local connections. And i keep seeing this coming up on google suggestions saying that i can buy "Windows Server Remote Desktop Services CAL". Im just looking to operate my business locally without all that fancy features like desktopApp or licensing. I just need to create local users, have Windows load a remote desktop environment for that user to connect to, and voila my employee can use both client computer and host computer on their monitor(s).
Is there a possibility for this without buying any extra licensing feature? I already have a legal copy of Windows Server 2019, i seriously don't think i need to purchase another $500 odd for this bull.
And if this is the case, I also have Windows Server 2016 and does Server 2016 need to purchase this licensing thing?
Cheers
Hello,
I am currently evaluating RemoteApp to deliver applications to our roaming users. It is working well.
However, whenever user reconnects, it creates a new session rather than hooking up to a disconnected session. My requirement is that till the time a disconnected session does not end, user must reconnect to their corresponding disconnected sessions only.
I have tried configuring following Group Policy Settings on the Session Host Server, but could not achieve the objective:
Request if someone can guide me about some missing configuration to achieve the objective.
Thanks,

Using Group Policy Editor, I have added Administrators into Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Local Policies\User Rights Assignment\Deny access to this computer from the network. This is to make sure that file sharing users cannot bypass the NTFS rights. However, I want members of the Administrators group to be able to login interactively using Remote Desktop. It works from Windows PCs, but not from Microsoft RD Client for Android, where I get the following error message:
I can connect from Android only if I remove that policy.
Any ideas?
Hi,
I installed rds on a Windows Server 2016 and a Remote Desktop Application (exe)
User are in remote desktop user group.
The user is allowed to start an rds application through a rdp file from a client computer.
The User is not allowed to Logon to the desktop of the server.
I need a script/ mechanism which check's weather (1) the User logon via starting my application or (2) logon on Windows desktop.
In Case the user starts to logon the desktop (2) if have to refuse/stop/hinder the logon
(i see, that in case the user logon starting my application(1), rdshell.exe ist running)
Perhaps there are other, easier indicators for deciding where the Logon comes from.
Any ideas?
Thank you in advanced
I have the following:
RDS Gateway = Windows 2016
TS server = Windows 2008 R2
TS Server2 = Windows 2016
I get into the RD webpage without issue, there lies 2 RDP published apps pointing to 2 different servers.
When the icons are launched and authentication box appears, domain credentials are put in, and the error stated below comes up.
End users can access the gateway without issue, when they select the TS Server RDP icons they get the following error:
RemoteApp Disconnected - Your computer can't connect to the Remote Desktop Gateway server. Contact your network administrator for assistance.
The TS connection is set to maximum, everything else is set correctly to. I have read all the articles I can find and it has not resolved the issue, is there something I am missing?
