Setup email profile at Remote Desktop Session Host Server

$
0
0

Hi All,

We have setup a RemoteApp environment hosted in Server 2012 R2.  We are trying to create outlook profile for remote users during logon.  Our approach is to create customised outlook profile (.prf), and assign it via logon script.  However, as the logon scripts are park under AD server (where Outlook is installed under Remote Desktop Session Host server), the script could not find the Outlook.exe, which is obvious as the Outlook wasn't installed on the same server. 

Can someone advise what we should do to create the outlook profile when users remote logon?  You are also welcome to suggest if you find other better approach.  Thank you.

Best regards,

Lih Ping



How to set up remote desktop licensing mode in windows server 2012

$

0

Hi,

I've deployed yesterday a windows 2012 server (RTM) and set up the license server for my 10-CAL licenses. That's ok.

But I can not see a way to point my server to see the license server. Every time I log in, I receive a message that the RD services will expire in 119 days.

Using the diagnosis tool it says that licensing mode isn't set up.

Where I can find the tool to set up this licensing mode? In windows server 2008 this question was asked in the setup wizadr.

Thanks a lot!

Issue with RDS Licensing on Windows 2008 R2

$

I'm attempting to consolidate 2 very small Citrix environments (only two total servers in each environment) into a single farm and when attempting to migrate RDP applications to what will be the full production environment, I'm receiving the following error on only 1 of the 2 servers regardless of who launches:

The remote session was disconnected because there are no Remote Desktop client access licenses available for this computer.

Here's where it gets really interesting:

All servers are running Win 2008 R2 and are at the same patch level

In the environment I want to retire, each server has it's own Remote Desktop licenses that are on a Per Device level.

In the environment I want to migrate to, each server has it's own Remote Desktop licenses, one server is (currently) set to Per Device, the other Per User - but the one that is Per User is the one that can connect successfully.

I've attempted to change the RD Session Host Configuration to point only at the server that appears to be successfully allowing connections with no success.

I've reviewed other threads of similar error messages and none seem to apply.

I'm at a loss, please help.

How to create many virtual desktops simultaneously in Windows Server 2012 R2 VDI?

I am using Windows Server 2012 R2 and want to use VDI. When I tried to creat 5 virtual destops in the "Create Collection" wizard, I found Hyper-V created the VMs one by one(single thread), not created them simultaneously.

So I would like to know whether there is a way to create multi virtual desktops simultaneously.

RemoteApp and Desktop Connections Error 0x800401F0 when updating RemoteApp connections from RDS webfeed

$
0
0

Environment:

Windows Server 2012 R2 with RDS roles installed.

Windows 8 clients

Issue:

The RDS Webfeed doesn't updated automatically. Instead, I get an error:

"An error occurred while updating this connection. Error code: 0x800401f0, 0x0"

I can perform a manual update in the control panel, but the users who will be using this on a regular basis are blocked from the control panel by a GPO.  Also, I don't want end users to have to perform this update manually anyway.

I've included a screenshot of the issue for reference.

User is not able to RDP to Windows 2012 Sever.

Hello All,

User is getting below error while trying to RDP to Windows 2012 Server.

"The connection was denied because the user account is not authorized for remote login"

Below checks have been done...

1) User is part of AD Group which has local Admin Access on Server. ie that Group is added into Local Administrators Group, I am part of different AD group which is also part of local admin group on server.

2) There are 2-3 Groups available in Remote Desktop Users group but user & me both are not part of those group, but still i can login to server using RDP. (AS per remote settings description on server "Local Admin group will get access even after it is not added in Remote Desktop users Group"

3) We added the user in to Remote Desktop users group and it's worked but when removed again stopped working.

No sure why user is not able to RDP even after he is local admin?

Printers in RDP Windows 2012 and Ubuntu Linux

$
0
0

Computer 1. Windows Server 2012 Std with RDP Terminal Server

Computer 2. Ubuntu Linux 13.04 with RDP client Remmina and HP LaserJet 1020 Printer

Computers isn't located in one local network. When I connected to the Windows by RDP - I couldnt see any printers (e.g. HP LJ 1020). What should I do to make visible my printers when I connect thru Remmina to Windows 2012 Server? May be add some components or roles? By the way, when I use Windows 7 to connect to Server 2012, I could see my printer like Remote Desktop Easy Print.

----

Windows Server 2012 и клиент на Ubuntu не находятся в одной локальной сети, поэтому подключить принтер из под терминальной сессии по локальной сети не получится. Нужно прокидывать принтер с Ubuntu в терминальную сессию через RDP. Так вот, если я подключаюсь из под Windows 7, то принтер виден, Easy Print отрабатывает нормально, а если из под Ubuntu, то нет ни одного принтера. Как я понял, это особенность Windows 2012, то что они отключили там устаревшие компоненты, потому что подключаюсь к Windows 2008R2 и там принтер из Ubuntu виден.


What permission is required to create Remote Desktop Apps using the Powershell RDS provider?

$

I am trying to resolve the Access denied error. The user that is attempting to run the script remotely is a member of the Remote Desktop Users group on the remote machine. The user is NOT a member of the local administrators group on the remote machine. I would prefer not to make them an administrator if there is another option.

Does anyone know how this can be done?

Thanks,

Matthew

Using RDS 2012 R2 server, we are deploying 4 or so printers via group policy.

When a user sets them to default printer and logs off, when they log back on the default has changed to another non mapped printer (local printer).

Do not set default client printer to be default printer in a session is enabled in GPO.

Tested the same outcome on a 2008 r2 non rds server as well.

Remote Desktop Services 2012 (certificates and DNS requirements)

$
0

Hi,

I hope you can advise me. I am familiar with RDS (based on Windows Server 2008 R2). I just started with RDS (based on Windows Server 2012). I find the certificate requirements and DNS requirements somewhat confusing. I can't find any clear information about this on the internet and I also noticed more people are having the same questions. Allow me to explain my scenario. I have the following setup:

RDS01 = RD Licensing Server + RD Connection Broker + RD Web Access
RDSH01 = RD Session Host
RDSH02 = RD Session Host (currently not available yet. Only RDSH01 at this time!)
RDSH03 = RD Session Host (currently not available yet. Only RDSH01 at this time!)

I can easily install and configure all server roles. But here it comes. In Windows Server 2008 R2 you are able to configure a farm DNS name. In Windows Server 2012 you can’t as far as I can see. With Windows Server 2008 R2 you would then need to create several A-records (round-robin) that point to each RD Session Host. For this to work you would also need to have a Computer Certificate on each RD Session Host where the subject name matches the farm DNS name. But how does this work with Windows Server 2012? Do you still need to configure a separate farm DNS name and import certificates on every RD Session Host which matches the subject name?

I can only import a certificate (.pfx). Which by the way I find very unhandy you can’t select an already existing certificate from the certificate store. I notice when I import a certificate it is only imported on the RD Connection Broker. I understand the certificate for signing the RDP files and Web Access. But what about the RD Connection Broker? Also… the certificate configuration is globally? What if you have multiple collections, no certificate requirements per collection? Maybe I am missing something because the currently de RDSH01 is the only RD Session Host operational.

Can someone shine a light on this.

Not Able to Configure the Terminal Server Licensing ports

$

Hello, The Terminal Server Licensing uses port 135 and one port dynamically allocated above 1024. I cannot have all the ports open via my firewall.

Hence, I followed the article: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=48218

Per above article, I used regetd32.exe on the license server and configured above registry keys and then rebooted. I also configured my firewall to allow traffic on the range 5000-5100 on Licensing Server; the same range I while following above article.

Now, I am  not able to add the License server IP address in the RD session host server as the mmc snap-in hangs and I have to kill it.

If I allow incoming connection to the license server on all ports from the RD session host sever ( this setting was done in my firewall) and I could immediately add the License server IP address to the RD session host server and it worked like a charm.

So, this mean, whatever mentioned in above tech-article is not working for me. OR I am not sure what I could have done wrong.

Could you help me figure out how to specify this custom port used by the license server so that I can configure my firewall respectively. Opening the firewall for all the ports is not an option at all.

Remote App icons disappeared from RDWeb page

$
0
0

so, just the other day I rebooted my RDS server and when it came back up I noticed that the remote app icons no longer appeared on the RDWeb page, but, they are still showing in the TSWebPortalPart in my Sharepoint Foundation 2010 site.  I did not make any changes to anything prior to this reboot, I rebooted it just because it had been a while.  I tried hiding and unhiding the apps via Remote App Manager, I even tried removing and re-adding the apps, no change.  Apps still appear in Sharepoint, but not in RDWeb page.  The Remote Desktop page of RDWeb is working as advertised.  I tried resetting IIS and restarting the default web site (where RDWeb is installed).

The box is 2008 R2 (no SP) Standard running on HP DL385G7 high performance platform running all RDS roles except session broker and is also the Sharepoint Foundation 2010 server.  It hosts a dozen remote apps for two dozen users.  Luckily most internal domain users get to their remote apps via published RDPs or Sharepoint, but external users sometimes need to access apps from RDWeb.  RDWeb is in the Default web site with the default ports/listeners and a public CA cert for SSL. Sharepoint is sharing the same IP/HTTP port but using a host header. Everything had been working fine for months.  I don't see anything in any logs and I made no changes to anything, just rebooted and then this began.

where to even start?

Hello everyone, I want to know if there is a way to set in a security group the maximum rds connections (e.g. I have in an organizational unit with 3 users and there can be only 2 users connected through rds at the same time, that´s what I want), but I don´t want to affect other security groups of my domain because I know how to set the max rds connections but it affects all the OU´s. 

Thank you

PD I have tried to do it through the gpo assigned to the OU, in Computer Configuration\ Administrative Templates\ Windows Components\ Remote Desktop Services\ Remote Desktop Session Host\ Connections

GPO for VDI clients

I am setting up an RDS infrastructure and I am currently looking at using Windows 7 ThinPC on some older workstations. They should auto login and auto connect to the RDS session. I am hoping that this can all be done with Group Policy but realize that it might require some extra work (startup script, etc).

Has anyone managed such a thing?  I have performed many searches on this but all the documentation I find on VDI with Server 2012 just relates to the setup of the server side of things, not the clients.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi All,

We have a problem with a Windows Server 2012 RDS system and Windows 8.1 clients. Users are experiencing the following message both when leaving there session idle for about 2-3 minutes, as-well-as whilst actively using their session,

Message : "Your remote desktop has disconnected because your session timeout limit was reached."

We have made changes to the Session Hosts in order to extend the timeout, but this has had no effect.

Help would be appreciated,

RD Gateway Manager fails with "Unable to read RD Gateway Server Settings"

The question is: Why can't I connect RD Gateway Manager on the local RD Gateway server?

A month ago, I successfully configured a RD Gateway and to work with a RD Session Host.  I set up the RDG CAP and RAP policies.  I successfully tested connectivity through the gateway.

Today, I tried to access the RD Gateway Manager and now I'm getting the following pop-up message:

"Unable to read RD Gateway Server Settings"

Everything still works and I am able to confirm that NPS is running the CAP policy that I configured in RD Gateway Manager.

The certificate is from a trusted source.  The Event Log does not show any errors.
