RDS 2012 R2 + Office 365 Shared Activation - UPD's not unloading.

June 21, 2016, 1:49 am

Greetings and welcome to this thread.

We have consequently been experiencing errors with RDS 2012 R2 User Profile Disks / UPD's not detaching after user logoff in brand new Remote Desktop Services 2012 R2 collections.

As an example we have this enviroment:

DCSRV01 - Domain Controller

DCSRV02 – Domain Controller

FILESRV01 – Fileshares and User Profile Disks

RDSGW01 – RD GW

RDSSB01 – Session Broker

RDSSB02 – Session Broker

RDSSH01 – Session Host

RDSSH02 – Session Host

ADFS01 – ADFS

WAP01 – WAP

Only 3<sup>rd</sup>. Party application installed on the session host is Office 2016 Click-To-Run with shared activation. (GPO for SSO activation etc.)

Consequently User Profile Disks does not detach upon logoff using the newest build of the Click-To-Run Service.

We have tried with multiple builds of Office 2016, and downgrading. 

If we disable the C2R service or uninstall Office 2016 C2R completely the UPD’s will detach just fine upon logoff.

We have a bunch of setups like the above where we can produce the issue. However we also have one older setup, with an older version of Office 2016 C2R, that does not seem to produce the issue. However all new setups produce this.

Has anyone experienced issues comparable to this?.

We also have setups with many users running both Office 2010, 2013, 2016 Non-C2r versions on both 2008 R2 and 2012 R2 without any issues at all whether we’re using UPD or Roaming Profiles.

So it seems like there is some issue/bug with the newer versions of Office 365 C2R and User Profile Disks / UPD.

Hope for some well shared knowledge, tips or bugfixes for this :-)

All the best, Jesper Hassing - MCTS SCCM 2012 - MCSA 2012 Server - MCP

I have a Server 2012 R2 (Datacenter edition) RDS server.. serving remote apps...... I am still experiencing the same issue on a Windows 10 and Windows 7 clients.

I *can* connect via the web or via the control panel, but if I right click the icon in the system tray and say "reconnect" it generates the endpoint errors.  I can duplicate it every time.

Can someone please help?  This is the only thread my Google-Fu lead me to, that is even close to matching my problem.

Hi everyone,

we are trying to share some COM ports when connecting two Windows 10 machines using RDP.

The client can connect to the remote machine flawless and the printers and USB drivers can be shared without problems.

However, the local COM ports cannot be seen in the remote PC despite the configuration of the client ("Ports" checked):

Besides, the "Group Policy" for both PCs are correct: Do not allow COM port redirection is disabled

Can you please help me?

Thank you!

RDS redirecting to server that is not in collection

Today users were trying to connect to an application and are getting the message " the following remoteapp program is not in the list of authorized programs: <appname>"  When I did a netstat I can see that the server they user is connecting to is not one of the host servers listed in the collection and of course does not have the target app installed. In fact this server is not a host server for any of the published apps on that broker.

If I try to RDP into one of the two servers that ARE configured as host servers for that app I get a message: The remote computer <computername> that you are trying to connect to is redirecting you to another remote computer named <computer name>. Remote desktop connection cannot verify that the computers belong to the same RD Session Host server farm. You must use the farm name, not the computer name when you connect to an RD session host server farm."

I'm trying to determine why I am being redirected to this 3rd server so I can fix and stop it. Any help where to look?  The admin that managed this left the company and I am trying to get up to speed with how this is working. any help is appreciated.

Implement MS Outlook Client in Caching Mode on Remote Desktop Services?

June 29, 2016, 3:14 pm

Last year our organization migrated from an on-prem email solution to Microsoft Office 365 cloud-based email.  When using the Outlook thick client and O365, Microsoft states caching mode is required as there is too much latency between us and the cloud to provide a responsive thick client experience in online mode.  Enabling of caching mode presents a problem for RDS because a .OST file is generated in each user's local profile so this file would be generated for each use profile on each server that a user would access.  This is not a viable approach due to drive space, performance reasons, and the requirement for the end users to "recreate" their Outlook profiles every time they log into a different server or after profiles are purged for maintenance purposes.  I have heard of some organizations hosting the .OST file on a network share with mixed results.

Short of going to a fully persistent VDI solution, I would be interested to hear if anybody else has been able to come up with a reasonable solution to make the Outlook thick client work on RDS with caching mode and a cloud hosted Exchange provider.  We have been running OWA ever since our migration to O365, but our customer would like to know if there is a way for us to get full Outlook running on our RDS environment.  Brian Madden had posted a similar topic on his  blog a few years ago, but I did not really see a solid solution there either:  http://www.brianmadden.com/opinion/Cloud-hosted-Exchange-with-RDSH-VDI-Outlook-is-a-performance-nightmare-Are-there-any-solutions

RDS2012, via PS: howto see id of disk mounted on a RDS-server?

May 20, 2016, 3:12 am

Hi,


On RDS 2012, we have User Profile Disks. This means the RDS-server will mount a VHDX on a remote file server for every user. So f.e. 40 users, 40 disks mounted.
In disk management they only show as id's.

Sometimes we have issues with UPD so I would like to see which user has which disk (the id of it) in use. So I can dismount it.
Get-Disk on the server doesn't reveal much.
Maybe this info can be gathered from the session host?

Please advise.

Hi,

I have a fully patched Windows 2008 SP2 Terminal Server and a fully patched Windows 7 client.

I have logged into the Windows 2008 SP2 Terminal Server server with a test account via RDC before.

When I try to log in via RDC to the 2008 TS with a test account which has been marked with the setting "User must change password at next logon" I get the RDC message "You must change your password before logging on the first time.  For assistance, contact your system administrator or technical support."  I need to force the user to change their password once it has been issued, any ideas on how this can be done?

Thanks,

Remote Desktop Virtualization Host failed to get redirection authentication information from the virtual machine

January 29, 2014, 6:34 am

Hello,

When implementing a VDI solution, I'm getting an error on our virtualization host server.  The error is:

Remote Desktop Virtualization Host failed to get redirection authentication information from the virtual machine [VDI-PC].

Hresult 0x8000FFFF

Event ID 8467, Severity: Warning, Source: Microsoft-Windows-TerminalServices\TSV\VmHostAgent

This error happens every time a user or admin connects to a VDI desktop.  This is a fresh install of Remote Desktop Services on completely fresh servers.  This is in testing and we have not ever had it working before without the error.

Topolgy: Server2012 R2, Windows 7

Srv-RDCB1: Is the connection broker and Web Access server.  It is Virtualized thru Hyper=V.

Srv-RDVH1: Is the virtualization host.  It is a physical server. It also has a separated hyper-v role (for RDS VDI deployment).

Everything seems to be functional other than this error in the log, and I haven't found any information on what this could mean.

Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!

How to change password in RDP session

In my situation all RDP clients are remote over the internet. their passwords expire every 60 days. How can the user change their password before it expires? CTRL ALT DEL will not work because it takes you to a password change on your local machine. Note the users have no access to a desktop only a single application is forced to run through the user profile.

Reducing the number of Remote Desktop Licensing Per-User CAL's ?

December 16, 2014, 8:46 am

We have a client with a set of servers running Remote Desktop Licensing Manager (offhand I don't recall if this is a 2008 or 2012 environment but I assume process should be similar either way)

We provide the license to our client through our SPLA, and the type is "RDP Per User CAL". We have a Service Provider License Agreement with Microsoft and an "agreement number" that we enter when setting up the Remote Desktop License Server, using the  "Install Licenses Wizard" 

A certain quantity were initially installed, they now want to cut back on the number of per-user CALs.

Microsoft's online docs seem to be really lacking here, I found no info on reducing the number of installed CAL licenses. I think I vaguely recall once finding a doc that indicated that you have to completely tear down your Remote Desktop License Server and set it up from scratch to enter a different amount of User CAL's?  Can this be right it seems utterly ridiculous.  


Is there a way to reduce the number of CAL's?  (and how, as have never seen anything in the GUI for this).

Or do we really need to remove the Remote Desktop Licensing server and reconfigure it like brand new just to set a different number of CAL licenses? (and if so, what happens to existing user access in the meantime. There's be a delay from when the admin of these servers uninstalls or removes the licensing server to when we log in to enter our agreement number and new # of Cal's, as we don't give our customers our agreement number.

RemoteApp and Desktop Connection - Default Connection URL - Windows Server 2012 R2

May 16, 2014, 5:03 am

Hi,

I'm building an Remote Desktop envoirement for our organisation wich includes the following servers:

2 Domain controllers with Remote Desktop Gateway, Licensing and Broker (1 broker functional, no HA, still in progress of building), RDWeb installed.

2 Remote Desktop Host Servers for the user logins (no applications just the desktop).

2 Remote Desktop Application Servers (RemoteApp) with all of our applications installed.

2 File Servers using DFS replication.

All of those servers are Windows 2012 r2.

Our purpose is to deploy RemoteApp's to the Remote Desktop Host servers using the GPO Default Connection URL.
The problem is that it won't apply to the users who log on to the Remote Desktop Host servers. I'm struggling with this issue for a while now and tried different possible solutions. Such as the delegation credential GPO, making the users local admin, making the users domain admin etc etc.

My guess is that the GPO hangs on the fact that when i try to manually run the wizard to connect to the RemoteApp and Desktop connections, my credentials are asked. Which i think is odd because i'm already logged in as an domain user. I'm having the exact same problem with the domain administrator account.

When i'm connecting manually by entering the credentials in the connection wizard everything is working as it should, it just won't connect automatically

Does someone has an solution for this?

Kind Regards,

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)?

Hi Experts, I just want to restrict remote logins only if that particular user profile is not present already. This restriction should not impact existing profiles which exists in c:\users\<Existingprofiles>, i.e existing users should able to do remote login.  Simply my intention is profiles should created only in Interactive logins, Once profiles created then we can allow RDP/remote to those profiles.

Is there any to achieve using script? I need your expertise. Please help.

Hi

This topic is related to the thread Update screen size on tablet rotation using AxMSTSCLib. Is there an avenue by which we can gather some health status information from the virtual machine's OS other than reading connection or disconnect event states? Specifically, we would like to implement conditional logic for how we handle screen rotation and connection parameters (call SyncSessionDisplaySettings if in a user session and Reconnect if not in a user session).

Thanks

Cannot launch RDWEB-based apps externally(outside the Corp firewall)

Inside the network, things are fine: can launch apps without issue.

Externally, I can log into the RDS website fine, using my domain credentials: but launching any published app, gives an error(using iPhone RD Client app).

"Disconnected from Server Manage with error code 0x00000904"

Gateway and Broker are on a single 2012 server

published apps are on (2) 2012 servers

CAP & RAP policies appears to be set properly, and certificate is: Level= 'Trusted' and status= 'OK' on Broker,Web Access & Gateway

I have an external IP address pointing to the RDS server, and firewall access rule in place for tcp & UDP (port 3391).

Any help is appreciated,

rich

ps. I will ad that I've seen a lot of folk online asking the same question, with a few different twists on the errors etc, and I've looked into some of the solutions, but nothing so far has helped me: but I'm open to reviewing those possibilities..

Remoteapp - can't launch published apps from outside our network

June 30, 2016, 1:46 pm

We just had a vendor configure Remoteapp on a brand new windows 2012 R2 Standard Server for us.  From inside our network, the Remoteapp server works as expected.  We can open a browser, navigate to rdweb, log in, and launch published apps.  

From outside our network, however, we can get to the rdweb page and sign in, but no published apps will launch--when we double click one we get an error message stating "your computer can't connect to the remote computer because an error occurred on the remote computer that you want to connect to."  The event log on the server then throws a 4625 audit failure.  One account (only) can launch apps from outside--the "built in account for administering the computer/domain."  This is the same domain account on the server where the remoteapp role is installed.  No other accounts can launch apps from the outside.

We can RDP into the server from the outside no problem (from the same accounts that can't launch apps.)  I am certain that our hardware firewall is not the issue.  The vendor that set up the server says the server and the certificate are configured properly, and they think it's an issue with our domain policy/policies.  

Interestingly, if I go into a user account in AD users and computers, add the name of the computer he is trying to launch apps FROM into the "Logon workstations" list, it fixes the problem--the user can then launch apps.  However this is not an option, because we can't determine the name of every computer that every remote user might use to log in.

Alternatively, If I go into the user account in AD users and computers and select "All computers" for "logon workstations", that also fixes the problem--the user can launch apps remotely.  However this isn't an option either, because we don't want internal users to be able to log into every machine on our network.  

I'm not sure why we don't experience the "log on to" dilemma when launching remoteapps inside of our network--only from the outside.  

Any ideas to fix this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

File Type Association for new Users

Hi.

The issue is quite simple and I don't know why Microsoft gives nothing for this.

I have Remote Desktop Session Host and RemoteApp. My users start Application via RemoteApp. They need to open JPG or TIFF file in this Application. There is graphic view application on the server. But I can not set File Type Association for this files. GPO (Folder OPtions) - Result: Success, but doesn't work. CMD "ASSOC" and "FTYPE" Success but also have no effect.

So the question is "How to set file type association on RDP Server 2012?".

I suggest to use default profile. I mean, every time new user logs on server, new profile is created and system takes basic default association. Do you know, where it is?
