I have found that since trying a certain password logging into the Web Access for RDS 2012 R2, an error is generated.
It doesn't crash the server it just causes an error for the user logging in.
Sign in either as with domain\username, or upn, and using the password ")<bJKq<5" without the quotes, doesn't report wrong password but instead gives the error "Server Error in '/RDWeb/Pages' Application"
This happens whether you enter the password for anyone trying to login.
Hi,
Have Windows 2012 R2 box with only RDS-Gateway installed on perimeter of our environment in AWS. We don't want to use app-deploy feature, just want to manage users RDPing to an internal Windows 2012 R2 box. Multiple users could be connecting at a time and need their own individual sessions.
This all works fine as long as the user's password is not expired or account checked with "Change password at next login". When this occurs, the user is not allowed to login because NLA (initial login process at the gateway) does not support password change (all well documented). I don't want to disable NLA (lowers security level).
I've read elsewhere that using Web Access component is a work around (as the web access component) is the one who presents the login page and supports password change whereas the RDP client does not.
Looking for a confirmation if this is true and if so, looking for link on how to install/configure web access component alongside rds-gateway (using powershell)
Hi All ,
i enabled password change utility in Windows server 2012 R2 server to change password for our end users.
i can change the password with this utility but not any other users , i have all domain admin and local admin access for this server , but my end users just want to change their expired password with this utility but with out any access , is this possible?
When we tried to change any domain user password with this tool am getting below error.
Your password cannot be changed. Please contact your administrator for assistance.
can any domain users change their password with this utility ? without any access to RD Web access server. please advise.
Thanks,
Mani L

I've set up a HA Connection Broker cluster, and in order to get the web gateway working again, I need to set up a new RAP policy that specifies the RD Broker RR Address, but every time I try, when I click 'Add' in 'User Groups' (And anywhere else in the MMC, it seems), the MMC crashes with the following output:

As far as I can tell from searching, it seems to be .NET that's crashing, but I haven't found any solutions.All three servers (Web Gateway and both Connection Brokers) are fully patched.
has anyone else sen this and/or have any ideas how to either fix it or maybe some kind of workaround?
Folks:
Out of the clear blue, on Feb 13 my users were unable to access remote desktops.
It looks like there's no Resource Authorization Policy in Remote Desktop Gateway Manager. Odd, that. RD has been working fine forever. OK, fine. Just recreate the Resource Authorization Policy, right? Only problem is that when I try to add a User Group, the MMC crashes.
I have no idea how to fix this or troubleshoot it. Can anyone help?

I have a RDP server running 2012r2 Standard. I have installed the RDP roles and added my licenses which show up in the licensing manager, but when I log in to the server, I get a message about it is in the grace period. When I go to licensing diagnoser it shows no licenses available.
It gives me 2 warnings: "The licensing mode for Remote Desktop Session Host server is not configured" and "The Remote Desktop Session Host server is within its grace period but the RD Session Host server has not been configured with any license server."
When I look at remote desktop services overview in server manager, I see that the server is set up as the RD Licensing server. When I go to tasks and edit deployment properties, RD licensing is set per user and the rdp license server is set to the server correctly.
Any idea what I did wrong here?
Thanks!
Hi,
We are creating a custom rdp client using AxMSTSCLib for use on a MS Surface 4. We are having a challenge resizing the view when the tablet is rotated. When using the regular RDP the server size adjusts appropriately to display correctly on the client. in the
article located at https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/enterprisemobility/2013/12/16/resolution-and-scaling-level-updates-in-rdp-8-1/ it states, "One of the changes we’ve made as part of RDP 8.1 is the addition of a new message that can be sent from
the client to the server to dynamically update the resolution inside the remote session to match what is available on the client without the need to do a complete reconnect of the session," which is verified by my previously stated observation. We would
like to have the actual resolution and not use smart sizing.
How can we implement the same messaging to achieve the same results using AxMSTSCLib in a .net application. I can't seem to find any reference on this. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
I'm testing out being able to launch a RDWEB-published application from outside our network(public)
I log into the portal fine, and can see the published icons.
I click the one I'm testing, and I'm presented with what appears to be a screen full of RD configuration
information as follows:

Thoughts?

I think I've read all known articles on this and still cannot get my microphone to be detected in RDS. Please help.
I have applied the following GPOs to my RDS farm:
I have amended the local registry of my servers:
Computer\HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\RDP-TCP\fDisableAudioCapture =0
ALSO:
I just cannot get my microphone to be detected. It just says "No audio devices are installed".
Please can anyone help?
Thanks

Hello, I am trying to remote into Windows Server 2012, which I did for months, but am now getting this error:
"The remote session was disconnected because there are no Remote Desktop License Servers available to provide a license"
How can I fix this and why do I need a license server? I just want to log in to do administration, which doesn't require a CAL per below.
Do I have to acquire RDS CALs if I am only remotely administering Windows Server operating systems by usingI am stuck right now. Any pointers please?
Thanks for any help.
We have a new farm for TS 2008 R2 and have run into a problem related to printing.
In our environment users are accustomed to going to Start - Run and entering \\SERVER\PRINTER to load a printer from the 500 printers we have spread across 65 print servers. However when they try that on our TS farm they get an error when the driver loads because they are not an administrator.
Our users are not using a specific hardware or software platform and do not have the printers loaded directly on their hardware because they are coming in from the internet, or not even using a Windows device so just redirecting the local printers in to the RD session isn't the answer; although it does work in cases where they do have a printer loaded locally.
I know there are new printing features that allow you to give users the permission to print to network printers without loading the drivers but I haven't found any clear documentation on how to set it up. I don't have a problem putting a list of approved print servers in, but don't know how. Even allowing them to load drivers from a pre-approved list of servers is fine by me, but again I can't seem to find how to do it.
Does anyone have any good documentation on how to set this up in GPO so that I can let users print to any network printer while in a session? Really hoping I don't have to load 150 or so different print drivers on the terminal server.
Hi all,
First, i would like to thank you all for the valuable information that you provide to this site, it helped a lot in resolving many issues.
For some reason, the users are not able to print anymore. I restarted the service spooler and restored the server then the users were able to print again (around 12h30 today) and around 17h00 i got a call from a user saying that he's not able to print anymore... I see in the events the following:
Échec de l’impression du document Imprimer le document appartenant à olivier.mandler sur l’imprimante HP Deskjet F4500 series (redirection de 4). Essayez de réimprimer le document ou redémarrez le spouleur d’impression.Anyway, the essential is the printer is not printing with "almost" all users. In fact i just tried with a user that we don't use much and surprisingly it's working on the same computer... I'm getting a bit crazy with this. It's been 4 days that i'm digging and reading and trying to figure out a solution with no luck. Therefore, i need you help guys ;-)
Thanks in advance for everything.
Kind regards.
Hi
Having seen information relating to where to obtain event logs for RD sessions, I was wondering if the RD connection 'options' were also logged- for example: Is it possible to determine for a given logged session, whether the audio was requested to be played on the local/remote machine?
Many thanks

Hi All
We have a client on a cloud server running their database software. We have 3 users and we have installed Remote Desktop Services.
Our hosting provider have dialed into the server and activated the 3 RDP CALS and everything worked fine. Now it's showing we have expired the 120 days grace period and we need to complete the configuration.
The odd thing is I didn't realise we had to do anything else. After speaking with the host again they say the cloud server needs to be connected to a domain, at the moment it's on a WORKGROUP as the client only has 3 concurrent RDP Connections at any one time.
Is the set wrong here, for the time being we have reactivated the 120 grace period.
Regards
Ryan
i´m testing a RDS std deployment, using 3 servers:
Server01 - Broker, Web & Gateway AND Server02 and Server03 - RDS Host/TS
Of course sharing Web and Gateway in the same machine is not a best practice, but let´s take into account is a dev/test/learn enviroment. 5 years ago i built the exact same thing using TS/WIN2008R2 and worked well for many years
In the TS/Win2008 i´ve changed the desktops.aspx file, changing the "gatewayusagemethod" from "2" to "1"
(as stated by: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh994953.aspx 1 Use the Remote Desktop gateway specified by the "gatewayhostname" property. 2 Automatically detect the Remote Desktop gateway server settings.)
OK, but i couldn´t remeber what i did 5 years ago, so i browsed the web and found a lot of different solutions to the same case (i´m trying to reproduce the sharing of the services in Win2012R2)
Here (https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc731465.aspx) there is a procedure related to changes in DefaultTSGateway and GatewayCredentialsSource
Here (https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/askperf/2008/08/19/forcing-the-remote-desktop-option-in-ts-web-access-to-use-ts-gateway/) there is a procedure related to changes in "TSGateway" IIS Application Setting"
Here (https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc770330.aspx) there is a procedure related to changes in Forms Authentication
I´m not entirely sure, but my OLD TS Server has no change in DefaultTSGateway and GatewayCredentialsSource
My OLD TS Server has no IIS Application Setting configured, the TSGateway Application Config is empty (using the word "Local", probably the same if i type the FQDN of the gateway)
My OLD TS Server has no forms authentications enabled and works well.
So, in my case, my OLD TS Server has only the gatewayusagemethod parameter in desktops.aspx and , as far as i know, only that and works well.
Can i make the same change in Win2012Rs and it will work?
I am suddenly having issues connection to a Win2008R2 Server from a Win7 workstation via RDP.
I now get an error at the RDC client that just says "An internal error has occurred." [OK] [Help], and [OK] just closes
The server happens to be a VMware guest, and can remote control the server via the "Console" (as if "real Mouse/keyboard")
The server is operating totally normal and accomplishing all tasks it was created to do as if nothing was wrong, i just can remote control it.
I do not get any Events on the Workstation or Server that have any reference to Remote Desktop, RDP, etc. Nor anything like Access Denied...etc.
What can i try? Is there a way to turn on more logging on the client or server?
