Recreating a Select Desktop(s)

June 23, 2016, 6:47 am

I occasionally have issues while recreating virtual desktops where one may fail or a bunch are cancelled for one reason or another (I'm not telling it to cancel) and it tends to cause me problems. For example, I have a pooled desktop collection with 300 VMs and if they don't finish successfully for some reason I have to recreate the entire collection, which includes re-exporting the VM.

Is there a way to only recreate the VMs that didn't successfully recreate on the first try? It is easy enough to generate a list of them with PowerShell, but I don't see a cmdlet that will allow that. I realize I could delete and recreate the desktop, but that seems akin to using a sledgehammer to open a tube of toothpaste (works but is unnecessary).

Thanks for the input.

USB bitlocker issue with RDS

June 21, 2016, 2:37 pm

So...... We have a nice RDS setup with about 100 vms. The way they access this setup is a windows 8.1 machine that has had its "shell" replaced with a powershell script that launches the RDP for them to get into it. All has been great for 2+ years. We recently just turned on forced USB encryption with bitlocker through GPO only to discover this is broken due to the shell being gone. It does not prompt for password without the shell. This is not the case on windows 7 but IS on windows 8.

What can i do about this?

Is there a way to disable "Drive Redirection" and make usb keys use "RemoteFX USB redirection" so they VMs would be the ones actually decrypting the bitlockered drives or something.

https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/enterprisemobility/2010/11/08/introducing-microsoft-remotefx-usb-redirection-part-3/

I am just posting for any ideas here. 

We love our shell-less windows thin clients. I really hope we dont have to give them up over this.

Thanks

Access is Denied - Remote Desktop

I have set up my Server (2008 R2 Foundation) for remote desktop and RemoteApp as per the instructions provided by Microsoft.  I am using a single server for all functions.  When a user logs in to the Server through remote desktop, the remote desktop screen comes up and then the user immediately gets an 'Access is Denied' message.  If the user connects through RDWeb, the RemoteApps are displayed, but when the user clicks on an application, they are prompted again for their login credentials and then they get the remote desktop screen with an 'Access is Denied' screen as well.  This happens even for Administrators.

I am getting very frustrated with this as I have read many blogs and tried everything to no avail.  PLEASE help me.

Install Remote Desktop Services Failed on Windows 2012 Server

I understand RDS is not recommended on DC due to security consideration.  However since I want to play it at home, it is not much a concern.  Such scenario works fine on Windows 2008 R2.  But on Windows 2012, the RDS (session-based, have not tried VDI, but expect same result) installation always fails and is incomplete on DC. 

In \Administrative Tools\Terminal Services, I only have RD Licensing Diagnoser and RD licensing manager.  The remote desktop service management service cannot be started (Error code: 0x88250001).  Is there any extra configuration needed for RDS working on Server 2012 DC or before the installation?  Thanks.

Update: this issue has been solved in Windows 2012 R2 Server.  According to http://blogs.msdn.com/b/rds/archive/2013/07/09/what-s-new-in-remote-desktop-services-for-windows-server-2012-r2.aspx

"Single server RDS deployment including Active Directory. We now support running our RD Connection Broker role service on the same physical instance as an Active Directory Domain Controller.  In addition, we publishedguidelines for how RD Session Host could be used without the RD Connection Broker."

The guidelines (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2833839/en-us) primarily apply to Windows 2012 Server.

All of a sudden all RDS users cannot print on any redirected printers on a Windows Server 2012R2 (Local, not AD DC).  Printers appear on server devices and printers.  Print jobs appear in queue on server, then on local device, but disappear from queues without printing.  Behavior the same for multiple computers, Windows 7, and 8, all users, including administrators.  Easy Print installed.  Working on this for hours with no luck. Any help or suggestions appreciated!

Update screen size on tablet rotation using AxMSTSCLib

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.

Hyper-V RemoteApp issue

Hello there,

I have a VDI and RemoteApp setup at one client and I noticed that each time i open the remoteapp for the same user and from the same machine, RemoteApp fires up another VM to provide access to this very same RemoteApp.

*NOTE*: I had a screenshot attached showing the issue but my account is not yet "verified".

Sooner or later the Collection will run out of VMs and start throwing errors at me.

Anyone has any idea how to fix it? Or at least why is it behaving this way?

Thanks.

RDP screen goes black after successful remote login

February 6, 2011, 1:27 pm

I have a Windows 2008 Server that I have been connecting to once a month remotely to apply OS updates.  Often, I reboot that server and it uses auto-logon to login and run an application. 

Today, I rebooted the server and when I try to connect with RDP, I get the login prompt and enter my credentials, I see a few expected messages fly by on the host OS (the last one I see is the word Welcome), but then the screen goes black.

The apps on the server are running successfully because our applications can connect to them, we just can't logon to the desktop of the Windows Server 2008.

I made no configuration changes (I NEVER do) other than to apply the latest Windows Server updates.

I would prefer not to drive to the computers location, or try to coordinate a time to have the server hosting company assist me with troubleshooting; but is there anything else I can do?  Any ideas about what might cause this?

Hello,

Yesterday I was looking through the host servers within the Remote Desktop Servers Collection and saw that one of the RD server was not allowing new connections to be made.

Now I am wondering if it is possible to allow new connections with a script (PowerShell or CMD)?

Note: I added a picture for reference

Unable to see the Collections Option in Remote Desktop Services in Server Manager

I am fairly new to the Windows Environment and particularly Remote Desktop Services, so I apologize in advance for my ignorance.

We've had an administrator leave our IT group and he was the one who had set up our remote desktop services/servers.  Recently we wanted to deploy another remote application and found that we were not able to see the "Collections" option in the Server Manager remote desktop services screen.  The only option listed is "servers".  However reactivating the admin's account and accessing the server as him gave us full permissions to see the Collections option and deploy another remote application.

My question would be is there a setting/group policy somewhere that is restricting other users from the gaining full access to remote desktop services in Server Manager?  I have looked all over the place on the server(and google) to see if I could find where this setting is to no avail.  Any suggestions/help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Painfully slow login, performance and black screen on RDS server 2012

June 23, 2016, 5:08 pm

Hi,

We have Terminal services environment -  windows 2012 R2 running on KVM. Our infra setup is as below:

3 Remote desktop session host servers on windows 2012 R2

1 windows 2012 R2 server which has the Broker, licensing and gateway roles installed

1 Published App server

We are using user profile disks that are stored on a 2012 file share.

AD is on Windows 2008.

When users login, it takes around and sometimes 7 minutes to login, we get a black screen for about a minute a 2. Performance also seems to be an issue at times. We have roughly around 70 users which are equally load balanced by the broker.

Troubleshooting done:

Checked if VMQ is disabled

Disabled SMB signing

Disabled all login scripts

Checked all GPOs

Disabled bitmap caching

Logged on locally with the administrator account which again has no group memberships, login scripts and is not a domain user. This account still has the same issue.

Windows is updated as of last month.

What iv'e noticed is since the Published APP server isn't part of the RDS session host farm, users are able to login to it quickly as i would expect. 

Can someone shed some light. We've been struggling with this since we've moved users from 2008 R2 to 2012
R2.

Thanks!

Unable to add a RDS session host

Hi

As we proceed with adding a RDS 2012 session host, we'got a 12306 error: "unable to retrieve session collection properties",

We try with both powershell and Server Management Interface.

We can add a host at the initial deployement of the collection, but we can't add it when the collection is created.

Same issues on all the existing collections.

In Rdms-UI debug we see errors #40963: failed to fetch local DB connection string from server, DBConnstring won't exist in HKLM\...\Tssdis\Parameters.

Any ideas ?

Thanks.

Change DPI scaling inside RDP session (2008 R2 / 2012 R2)

February 5, 2014, 11:12 am

We have two servers:

  • Server 2012 R2 RDS 
  • Server 2008 R2 RDS

Users are constantly reporting being unable to change their screen resolution. After some digging, the reason they're trying to change the resolution is because their text is too small to see. DPI scaling is obviously the answer, but when users go into the setting it is greyed out and cannot be changed.

Now, for Server 2008 R2, I've found this link:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2726399/en-us

Does this hotfix actually do what I suspect/hope/blindly-pray it will do? Does it re-enable the DPI options if connected via RDP? The article doesn't actually say what it does, just that it will "fix" the issue.

Next, for Server 2012 R2, I've found this link:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/rds/archive/2012/06/13/remote-desktop-services-what-s-new-in-windows-server-2012-release-candidate.aspx

The second last section mentions "Support for Changing DPI in Remote Sessoins." Having logged into this RDS server, this is not the case, the setting is greyed out just like in Server 2008 R2.

  1. What needs to be done to get this working on both platforms? My end result is I want users to log in and be able to go into the preferences, move the DPI slider to their desired text size and fix their problem without resorting to workarounds like decreasing the resolution of their local PC to increase the apparent size of text.
  2. If this isn't possible, is there a way to configure RDS to run at a lower resolution permanently but to stretch to fit any screen resolution? Right now, if you drop the resolution on an RDP session, it just takes up part of the user's screen. In the newest RDP clients, I notice the Smart Sizing option, but it apparently isn't "smart" enough to stretch higher than the base resolution of the session.

I've looked through literally years of forum posts and articles and nothing seems to point at a user-friendly fix such as take the slider, choose your size, done.

Add Back a rebuilt RD Virtualization Host server AND it's RD Desktop Collection to RDS service

Hi I ran into problem when my Windows 2012 R2 RD Virtualization Host server "Host-A" crashed and I had to rebuild the O/S again. Joined Domain, Installed Hyper-V Role then the RD Virtualization Host Role.

As this RDVH "Host-A" is hosting my Personal Managed Desktop collections of Win 10 VMs, I had to also register back the desktop VMs. It also hosts some server VMs, one of which is the RDS server VM that was managing this  "Host-A".

Problem is in my all-in-one RDS server (Connection Broker, Web Access, RD Gateway roles in 1 VM) now cannot recognize the desktops in the RDHV and the collection shows as 0 desktop!

RDS also can't properly recognize the RDVH "Host-A", I believe some config is needed but I don't know what to do.

Appreciate if anyone can help give the instructions to recover the RDVH host and the RD Collection back to the RDS service. Thanks!

Hello:

Im the new/only IT guy here at work. I am trying to RD into a desktop from the server and can't. I can RD from the server to my desktop without issue but can't to hers. I have gone into system options and allowed computers to RD in so my pc and hers are the same in that respect but can't figure out the issue. I do have AD running and am thinking it might be that but don't know where to start or what to check. ANY direction will be so helpful. Oh, The server is Server 2008 R2 desktops are Wind 7 Pro 64 bit
