Cannot Get RDP For Administrative Access To Work

March 3, 2015, 11:17 am

We have two 2012R2 Standard servers where RDP for admin access will not work.  All other 2012R2 servers work fine.  However the two that will not work are both domain controllers.  They are also both VM's, but so are all of the others.  I have verified that the RDP service is running.  I verified all the registry settings, especially port 3389.  Remote Access is turned on in the system settings.  Windows firewall is turned off, service is disabled and not running.  There is no anti-virus.  These are both new from the ground up domain controllers built separately.  I have checked everything I could find after reading hours of posts on the internet.  I have had no luck.

The weird thing is when doing a netstat there is nothing listening on port 3389.  The service is running and there are no errors in the event logs but yet the port is not open.  I have verified all settings against servers that do work and they are the same.

Can someone help identify what I am missing here?  Thanks!!!

Automaticlly "Show Details" when connecting to Remote Dekstop Machine

I have been told to ask the question I was asking in the link below here.

https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/32a9acc0-09b8-440c-ac7c-5ea83f1ca2f1/automaticlly-show-details-when-connecting-to-remote-dekstop-machine?forum=w7itproui

There has been several occasions when I have waited for a remote window to connect to a machine until the MSTSC window disappears with no message.  Each time, I find that it is due to a message that would have been easily rectified if I had noticed that I could press the "Show Details" button (sometimes, it is greyed out at the beginning of the connection).

Is it possible to have this expand automatically when available, and how would this be accomplished?

Below is a screenshot of what issue I am having.

Thanks

RDS Pooled Desktops Certificate Prompt

I have set up Win2012R2 RDS and I have a pooled read only desktop collection.   When I launch a desktop I get the following prompt:

The name on the certificate is the FQDN of the desktop and the issuer is the same:   desktopname.mydomain.com

I am using a wildcard cert for the deployment and it is set up as shown below.  

If I launch a RemoteApp from my session host collection I do not see the certificate prompt.  

Any ideas how to eliminate the RDP certificate prompt on the virtual desktops?

HI ,

I have windows 2012 R2 Foundation which is domain controller . I have to install RDS on it. But RDSB failed to install. I know that you cannot install RDS on server 2012  with AD. Microsoft released fix for it but it seems that it is not working on Server 2012 R2.

Is there any solution for this problem?

Recent documents list in Word 2010 with Roaming Profiles in RDS environment

January 10, 2011, 6:37 am

We have (2) 2008 R2 RDS servers setup with session brokering.  Users have roaming profiles and redirected folders enabled.

Users report that their list of recent documents in Word 2010 aren't consistent between sessions, presumably when they are connected to another RDS box.

For example, the user opens word > file > recent > and sees a list of recent files.  That list is not up to date when they connect to another server.  Additionally, when a user Pins a recent word document within that list, it doesn't show as pinned when they connect to another RDS box.

Is this behavior normal?  Should this recent list within Word 2010 roam with the user when they are connected to another RDS box?  How can we troubleshoot this?

Can Users Change Expired Passwords via RDP to Windows Server 2012 R2 / Windows 8.1 if NLA is Disabled?

February 27, 2015, 1:58 pm

Environment: Primarily Windows Server 2012 R2 servers and Windows 8.1 clients, with some older versions of Windows Server and Windows client

I understand that if a user's password has expired and they attempt to make a remote desktop connection (RDP) to a computer running Windows Server 2012 R2 or Windows 8.1, and if Network Level Authentication is enabled on the remote computer, then the user is not allowed to change their expired password. Instead, they receive this prompt:

"This user account's password has expired. The password must change in order to logon. Please update the password or contact your system administrator or technical support."

However, even when Network Level Authentication has been disabled on all computers in our domain, users whose passwords have expired still get the above prompt when connecting via RDP to Windows Server 2012 R2 or Windows 8.1. I do not understand why we still receive this prompt even when NLA is disabled. Older versions of Windows still allow users to change their expired passwords in the RDP logon session.

I also understand that RD Web Access can be enabled as a workaround for this issue, but I first want to understand why users cannot change their expired passwords even when Network Level Authentication is disabled.

Hi There,

I am facing issues during profile unloading. Some handles are not released and in use of some process or services. Mainly i see svchost.exe is in use while logging off.

And result of this is that user profile is not deleting cleanly at log off. from the next logon onwards user is not getting proper profiles,however getting the profile as username.domainname, username.domainname001.

I understand this issue can be fixed by uphclean atleast till windows server 2008, can someone suggest if it works fine for windows 2012 R2.

I understand last uphclean version was 2.0 (beta), does it work fine with windows 2012 r2? if not any other utility which helps fixing this issue?

Regards,

Abhishek

Enable Azure MFA for Test Group Only?

March 3, 2015, 11:58 am

We are in the process of implementing Azure MFA on our production RD Gateway. We want to be able to thoroughly test MFA authentication before producing documentation and rolling out to our production users. I am following the guide made by the nice people at RDSGurus Step By Step – Using Windows Server 2012 R2 RD Gateway with Azure Multifactor Authentication.

The problem is that I can't find any documentation which  explains how to deploy MFA to a small test group, but allow production users to continue to authenticate on our RD Web Portal as usual. After following the guide, the RD Web Portal only allows users with MFA configured to authenticate, of course. We want to allow our main user group to authenticate against AD as usual-- is this easy to accomplish or even possible? If not, I will have to roll back all my work before the end of business today, so that's not optimal.

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

2012 R2 RDS Farm assistance

March 4, 2015, 7:53 pm

Hello Experts,

    I recently stood up a new RDS farm on 2012. I am amazed how different it is from 2008 and have been having some issues / questions about how to configure everything. My environment consists of

RDGW - Gateway

RDBR - Broker and Web access

RD1, RD2, RD3 - Session hosts

DC - Licensing server

I have configured all roles and certificates through sever manager. The RD Gateway name (configured from Server Manager -> Remote Desktop Services -> Edit Deployment Properties -> RD Gateway servername) I configured is rds.domainname.com. I have an SSL cert purchased for this domain name, and it has been imported to all of the roles in server manager. 

I have configured DNS round robin, with 3 A records, labeled "RDS" to point to the individual session hosts. So internally, RDS.domainname,com resolves to the 3 session host IPs. 

Question 1.) From what I read on technet article, the RDP client connects to one of the session host servers, who will contact the session broker before completing the client connection. The broker will then tell the rdp client whether to connect to the session host DNS had resolved it to, or direct the client to a different session host based on number of sessions (it will direct client to the host with the least amount of sessions). Is this correct? 

Question 2.) Internally, when I RDP to rds.domainname.com I am directed to one of the 3 session hosts. Internal RDP is working. However, when I try to use the web portal, RDGW.domainname.com/rdweb I can authenticate and am presented with the published apps, but when I click on one and launch the RDP icon that is downloaded, I get an error that "Your computer can't connect to the remote computer because an error occurred on the remote computer that you want to connect to". I am not sure what is causing this issue. 

Question 3.) Secondly, I am trying to configure external remote access. I have an A record on web hosting provider configured to point rds.domainname.com to a public IP. This public IP is NAT'd to the internal gateway server (RDGW) IP and port 443 and 3389 are open. On the external RDP client, I know I will configure the gateway in advanced RDP settings to point to rds.domainname.com. I am assume that for the computer name I will also configure rds.domainname.com, since once it hits the gateway server DNS will resolve internally rds to one of the session hosts. Is this correct? 

Question 4.) I also noticed when I publish remote apps through the collections, I no longer have the remote desktop in rd web access. Is there a way to have both? I have read that 2012 RDS does not support both published apps and remote desktop. I also found some articles on ways around it, such as changing a registry value on the gateway server, but this did not work for me. Is this possible or can I only choose one of the other? 

Thanks in advance for the help!

Currently have two session hosts running that have identical configurations and was wondering what information from the files c:\Users\%username%\appdata could be synchronized between the two machines without negative repercussions to create the similar experience of our software on both of these machines? Looking at utilities like sync toy to provide the syncing capabilities.

The question has been asked before at technet forums.  Not clear what is the current status ?   I presume, not fixed. At least, I can easily reproduce the issue  on my box with Win7 which connectis via RDP to other box with Win 8.

Windows Server 2012 RDS Server, missing tools?

Hello,

   I have recently installed a single Windows 2012 RDS server,  it is a member server joined to a domain and it is working well for the most part.  The overview shows all the roles installed on the server (RD Connection Broker, RD Session Host, RD Gateway, RD Licensing and RD Web Access.  However, under Tools, Terminal Services there is only RD Licensing Diagnoser, Gateway Manager and Licensing Manager.  From what I have read, there are supposed to be other tools like RD Connection Manager and others?  Add Roles and Features says everything is installed and nothing left to add.  Did I do something wrong?  How can I install and access these tools?

   Thanks

Running Office 2007 on Windows Server 2012 Standard in RDS

So the client has Windows Server 2012 Standard R2, it is not a DC.  Setup Remote Services (formerly known as Terminal Server).  He runs Office 2007 on the server.  When using LogMeIn, he can run the Office apps fine.  When doing RDP, and at starting an Office APP he gets this meesage, "This Copy of Microsoft Office Excel cannot be used on Terminal Server.  Please contact your local authorized Microsoft retailer for more information."  We did this and purchased 5 RDS CALS, installed the TS licensing Server and installed and activated the RDS CALS.  Have not rebooted the server - was not prompted to reboot.  However, when looking in the Application Log on this server this error is displayed:

Error 1002  The program mmc.exe version 6.3.9600.16384 stopped interacting with Windows and was closed. To see if more information about the problem is available, check the problem history in the Action Center control panel.

Process ID: 1d0c

Start Time: 01d0568473061f4e

Termination Time: 0

Application Path: C:\Windows\system32\mmc.exe

Report Id: d830bbcd-c277-11e4-80c8-ecb1d7f30b79

Faulting package full name:

 Faulting package-relative application ID:

Is there something else that needs to be done to activate the RDS CALS??  Got no error messages when installing the CALS, just activation and installation was successful.  I know that to run APPS on Terminal Server you need the RDS CALS - Microsoft verified that as well.  Perhaps we need to tweak the Sonic Firewall settings??

Please Advise.

Thanks,

Hi

when i try to change the Remote Desktop Services User Profile Path with ADUC i get the error "Operation failed: Access is denied"

This error occurs in a subdomain with the Domain Admin of the Subdomain. I'm able to change this attribute with the Enterprise Admin.

As far as I understand this attribute is set in the userParameters but I don't know what permissions must be set to allow the Domain Admin to change this Attribute and why the Enterprise Admin is allowed to change the Attribute and the subdomain Admin not.

Our AD Schema is 2003.

Hi All,

I am trying to print when I remote desktop to login to Terminal server from Windows XP computer.

Terminal server is Windows 2008 R2.

Windows XP computer is Windows XP SP3 with Remote Desktop Connection Version 6.1.7600 and .Net Firmware 3.5 SP1.

My issue is that I could not redirect print from Terminal server, I can see the printer is there when I login to Terminal server, I can see the print job is in print queue, and it shows print out, but I can get it from my Sharp printer.

The Sharp printer is a network printer, I setup it on the Windows XP computer, when I connect to TS, and I select use print in remote session.

For troubleshooting, I have tested it from another Windows XP computer, it works fine. So I know that TS works fine with correct setting. The problem is on the Windows XP computer, so I reinstall .Net Firmware 3.5 SP1. But it still did not work.

Anybody can help me out? Thanks in advance.

"Connection Refused" from MAC But Works Fine from iOS?

I have a simple home network setup and I want to remote control my Vista Business PC from my Macbook Air. I have previously installed the Microsoft Remote Desktop app on my iPhone 5S and it successfully connects to my PC and works fine. I downloaded the Microsoft Remote Desktop app from the Mac Store onto my Macbook Air and tried to do the same connection, but it is refused. I am putting in the same user name and password as I used on the phone, but no joy. What is the difference? From a network perspective, there is no difference. This connection is on my LAN. I use the IP address of the PC to make the connection profile. The PC is on a static address. There is a Symantec firewall running on the PC but it allows the iPhone RDP connection through.

Thanks in advance for your advice.
