unable to establish outbound RDP connections from server 2008 R2 using TS 5 cals

$
0
0

I have a 2008 R2 server that has been running for years.  I can RDP into this server and have Terminal Services running nad have 5 people who RDP into this server everyday without any problems.  Lets call this server A

I am trying to connect from this server to another remote server called B.  But RDP does not work.  It will try to connect for about a minute and then return an error saying "try connecting again, if the problem continues, contact the owner of the remote computer .... ".

I then tried to connect via RDP to various other servers, say C, D and E, but no outgoing RDP connection is established.  Whereas these remote servers are working because form my laptop, or any other machine in the office (behind the same firewall / router, using the same IP), I can easily RDP into machine B,C,D or E. So there is nothing blocking outgoing connection on my office router/firewall and the remote machines have no issues accepting incoming RDP connections.

I turned OFF windows firewall for all (domain, public, private) but nothing.  The server is a standalone and not part of a domain.

So the only problem is that I cannot make outbound RDP connections from this server 2008, whereas I can easily establish incoming (connect to this server) via RDP.

Does anyone have any suggestions how I can fix this?

Thanks

301_Error Microsoft-Windows-TerminalServices-Gateway "23002"

$

I'm trying to reproduce an error we get when a user tries to connect to a non-persistent VDI pool. Sometimes, the user will be denied access to a virtual machine in the pool and the following error gets logged:

The user "DOMAIN\user", on client computer "172.21.1.131", did not meet resource authorization policy requirements and was therefore not authorized to resource "172.18.36.70". The following error occurred: "23002".

The client computer IP is a Threat Management Gateway (TMG) and the resource IP is from a DHCP pool.Both the CAP and RAP at the RD Gateway are custom and have all the necessary settings.

My first assumptions are that there is a gap between the time a VM gets a new DHCP lease and gets registered in the DNS and the refresh from the RD Broker database, but I might be wrong. The DHCP time lease for that scope is 5 hours.

Would anybody have a good knowledge of how the different components of an RDS farm works or, better yet, could explain why the user gets this error, but not every time..

Thanks

Local Profile, AD - Remote Desktop Service Profiles

Hi Techies,

I am working on solution, where i am stuck. Please help me

The requirement is there are two windows 2008 r2 Terminal servers, and both server c drive space is 300 GB.

There are 300 users log in everyday for their routing work.

Now C drive is getting full, as we can see there are many users folders are in c:\users\ folder and we are clearing users profile from c: users\leftuser folder or any thing which is not required under users profiles.

We have mapped the profile from remove desktop service profiles for all the users. Given shared Profile  folders so that any server they log in, they should get profile correctly.

But even we have mapped the path in AD, in c driver c:\users\ folders are getting created.

Is this functionality is by default by Windows, or there is alternate way to move these folders to different drive as my c drive is getting full or user profile should not get created on c:\users folder, as we have mapped in AD profile.

If we can move then whether on production server we can make these changes

AD Profile Screenshot

Root drive profile path

 Question is even remove service profile set. and when you login to terminal server it will create user profile under c:\users folder and get sync with remote service profile path.

I do not want user folder to be created under c:\users folder when i have remote service profile path set.

Can a single RD Gateway server "front" multiple separate/distinct RDCB/Web/RDSH deployments?

$
0

As the title indicates...I'm curious about the capabilities of RDG.  Here is my hypothetical situation:

Let's say I have an existing 2012 R2 RDS deployment (including Gateway) that is functioning as MS intends.  Certificates are all in place, etc. etc. etc.  Clients have no problem accessing RDSH sessions, RemoteApps, etc.  The setup is essentially totally "vanilla".  Life is good.

Now...I have a new system to put in place which relies on the RDS stack.  The new system requires that a plugin be installed in Connection Broker which modifies default load balancing behavior.  I would prefer to not install this into my current RDS stack that's working so beautifully.  But I'd also rather not have to deploy a second RD Gateway, etc.

So, is there a *supported* way to utilize my existing RD Gateway to route incoming client sessions to both the existing RDS setup and a "new" RDS setup (presumably consisting only of RDSH servers, a connection broker and RD Web)?  FWIW I have looked for docs from MS that speak to this but can't find any.

What is the maximum of simultaneous session supported by Terminal server?

I want to know using windows TS, what can be the max # of simultaneous session supported by a single TS.

I have a solution which is sized by TS, 5000$ for a single TS, with 2100 users and standard support to be 50 / TS I would require 42. That would be too costly.

I want to know using a high performance machine with xeon server 32 GB RAM would make any difference?

heavy degradation of DirectDraw write performance on 2012 R2 compared with 2008R2 SP1

$

Hi,

I am dealing with IT architecture design aspects for a 2D application operated typically with RDP sessions 

That application does heavy directdraw activity and we've seen that drawing a simple picture with MFC DC.paint methods takes 1200 ms with Windows 2008R2 RDP session and 3000 ms with 2012 R2 RDP session.

Higher level tests show a heavy dependency on screen size too... 1024x768 does not cause any issue at all when moving, zooming or drag&drop of some graphical objects. Here we can measure it with a generic picture that the virtual graphic card of terminal services in Server 2012 R2 is slower... compared with Server 2008R2 SP1. But the usability on "small screens" were not complained.

However users have also 21:9 screens with the dimensions 2580x1048 and there is heavy lag when zooming into a picture or draw  a  new one. It is not color depth degradation - the virtual screen size is 32 MB by default and the screen would require only 11 MB.

So what else could I check?

RDS per-device CALs when connecting from another RDS server?

$
0

Hey I wonder if somebody can help me answer a bit of a conundrum!

We use a number of Windows based RDS jumpboxes to manage various parts of our network.  However we also use an RDS environment for our day-to-day business operations.  So to connect to a jumpbox we would log onto our PC, then connect the primary business RDS environment (which is where we can access files, Outlook etc.) which is fully licenced with per-user RDS CALs and then from there we RDS to one of the jumpboxes if we need to manage that part of the network.  These remote jumpboxes, for various reasons are not joined to the domain and are completely isolated from the business network (other than RDS over 3389) so we cannot use the one RD licence server for all of them.

For the first jumpbox we happened to have some old 2008 per-user RDS CALs so I used these, but we now need a couple more jumpboxes and I'm contemplating how to licence them.  Given that we will only connect to these jumpboxes from one of our two "business" RDS servers it would seem we only really need to installed two per-device RDS CALs?  Note that we could have multiple users connecting to these jumpboxes from the business RDS servers, rarely more than 3-4 at a time however.

Am I right do you think?

Thanks!

Local Drive not available through RDP

hello

setup as follows:

1 x windows 2012 r2 server acting as RDS

1 x windows 2012 r2 server acting as RDG

same subnet

gpo acting on RDS but only computer config - admin templates - windows components - terminal services - terminal server - device and resource redirection -- do not allow com port redirection, do not allow smart card device redirection and do not allow supported plug and play device redirection

RDG has CAP that allows device redirection for all client devices

however, when i connect to the RDS from my windows 10 machine (via the RDG), no local drives have been redirected.

also, if i log onto the main File server then from that, rdp to the RDS directly, still no redirected drives.

yes, i've checked that drives are checked on the remote desktop client.

any ideas?

One user with a local printer on our terminal server is having a print issue.

One user with a local printer on our terminal server is having a print issue.

Installed an HP printer a while back on her desktop.

Every morning this user logs into our terminal server, and has to change the defaulted printer back to her local printer.

Which renames its self with (redirection) each time she logs in

The settings on remote desktop connection are checked to use the printer.

I haven't played around in regedit yet. This is on a 2008 r2.

Any advice here would be great I'm tired of running in circles.

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

$
0

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 :-)

Terrible annoying problem

I seem to have a problem with Windows Server 2012R2 remote desktop services. From time to time i cannot manage my servers. We have several Remote desktop farms, one 4 node widows Server 2008 RTM farm, a single Node Windows Server 2012r2 farm and a 6 node Windows Server 2012r2 farm. we have no issue with the Windows Server 2008 RTM farm, but have a lot of issue's with the two other ones. the same issue occurs on both nodes, and the  issue is that i cannot manage them. In server manager i get the following error: "The WinRM client cannot process the request. It cannot determine the content type of the http response from the destination computer. the content type is absent or invalid."

When i try to manage the RD deployments via powershell i get:

PS M:\> Get-RDRemoteApp -ConnectionBroker connectionbroker.domain.group
Get-RDRemoteApp : A Remote Desktop Services deployment does not exist on connectionbroker.domain.group. This operation can be performed after creating a deployment. For information about creating a deployment, run "Get-Help New-RDVirtualDesktopDeployment" or "Get-Help New-RDSessionDeployment". 

last week i had it on the single node, but could manage the node from the other 6 node cluster. Rebooted the single node over the weekend, and the issue was resolved. This morning the issue returned, in which i was unable to manage Remote desktop deployment from all nodes, except one. All published applications are running fine, but cannot the deployment. Rebooting the node resolves the issue for that node.

Have been looking into the issue, where it could be that the kerberos ticket is to large for the logged-on user. However when i log on with a user which is only member of the domain admins, the issue isn't resolved. So think it is not related to where the kerberos, or NTLM authentication issue described here:

http://oyvindnilsen.com/solution-for-powershell-remoting-error-it-cannot-determine-the-content-type-of-the-http-response-from-the-destination-computer/

all servers are fully patched.

Windows Server 2016 RDS forbid or remove powershell for defined usergroup

$

Hello everybody,

actually i'm trying to forbid or remove powershell.exe for a defined usergroup by using GPO's.

Unfortunately i didn't found an explicit setting for removing it for users and when trying to use AppLocker functionality it seems to damage the startmenu itself. When clicking on the Windows button as a restricted user (and even as non restricted Administrator) the startmenu wasn't displayed.

Does anybody know a working "HowTo" for keeping unauthorized users away from powershell without revoking NTFS permissions on the exe file?

Thanks for your help and kind regards.

Windows Server 2012R2 - Users cannot change an expired password via RDP in Windows, rdesktop Linux works perfectly

$

I realize this question/issue has been raised before. I have read the following thread regarding this:

https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/677b39dd-8595-4334-b7e5-387c8ff230ec/can-users-change-expired-passwords-via-rdp-to-windows-server-2012-r2-windows-81-if-nla-is?forum=winserverTS

First, the workarounds (which are a poor course of action to take due to lowering security) have not worked for me.

Second, I can confirm that this problem does NOT happen when using another remote desktop client. I have tried 'rdesktop' from a Linux machine, and everything works properly. Users are presented with an option to reset their passwords if expired right in a remote desktop session.

Network Level Authentication is disabled. Given that another operating system (and RDP application) does not have this problem, a registry 'hack' should be unnecessary to resolve this. Has there been any acknowledgement from Microsoft of this problem and is there a fix in the works?

RDS 2016 RemoteApp not going correctly fullscreen

$

Hi all.

Im testing out RDS 2016, so far its been very nice and performance is great.

But im having a wierd issue when trying to run RemoteAPPs in maximized windows (fullscreen)

It sort of looks like the window is in a incorrect placement. The top and leftmost part of the window is sort of moved out 5-6 pixels when running fullscreen. The buttom part of the window is also below the processbar of the workstation im using.

On my client i am running 2560x1440 and im not sure if that is the issue, but it just seems strange.

Have anyone experienced anything similar, and do you have a solution for the issue?

I have no issues copying and pasting to and from my PC and RDSH. Only issue is that I have to manually refresh to see the pasted item/s. I remember running into the same issue on 2012 R2 but I am re-building our environment in 2016 and unfortunately I did not take notes on what I did last time. Does anybody have any suggestions?
