Published App Screen Redraw Issue under Windows 10
Hi Everyone. We have a published app problem that occurs only under Windows 10. The app has been published from a Server 2012 R2 terminal services environment. The issue presents itself as a failure for the published app to redraw its screen after the user shifts focus to another application and then swaps back again.
Initially the fault presented itself as a Z order display issue, i.e. any dialogue boxes would display behind the published apps foreground / main interface. Clicking on the applications icon in the system tray would cause the dialogue box to come to the foreground. After hours of fault finding, I managed to fix that issue by disabling "Use advanced RemoteFx graphics for RemoteApp" on the Server 2012 R2 Terminal Server using gpedit.msc (in Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Remote Desktop Services -> Remote Desktop Session Host -> Remote Session Environment). I was happy and all seemed fine, but...
Now the fault presents itself as a complete failure to redraw the foreground. This happens after the user has swapped focus from the published app to another app and back again a few times. It does not happen immediately. The app focus is there, as you can still click menu items etc (fun when their location is not drawn) and they will behave normally (i.e. redraw occurs over the display area of the drop-down menu for example). The only way to fix this is to exit the published app and relaunch. It will then work for a while and then the fault repeats.
This issue does not happen in a full terminal services session, only if the app is run as a published app.
If anyone has any ideas to resolve this it would be much appreciated.

Hide Settings Pages Windows Server Datacenter 2016
Hi
I am currently setting up a 2016 RDS server deployment using version 1607. The problem we are having is the trying to hide individual settings pages in the immersive control panel when using gpedit.msc Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates> Control Panel > Settings Page Visibility. However it doesn't work with version 1607. Is there anyway to get this to work as we need to open up display and screen saver settings as would like our users to access this. Currently we are having to lock down both the control panel and the immersive control panel using User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Control Panel > Prohibit access to control panel and PC settings as we dont want them to access other stuff in PC settings such as windows update
Can anyone provide any suggestions\workarounds

2012 RDP / RDS Remote Desktop Terminal Server incompatible with Windows 2016 Domain Controllers? Access Denied
So we have a few 2012 R2 Terminal Servers at my company that were working fine until we started the process of replacing our Domain Controllers with new Windows 2016 Servers.
Since then our users are getting intermittent "Access Denied" errors when they try to RDP to these terminal servers.
Generally the "Access Denied" error occurs when a terminal servers starts to use one of the newly added 2016 domain controllers. We can workaround the problem by sending an command telling the terminal server to use one of the older 2012 R2 domain controllers instead. Then things work again.
So the question:
Is there a misconfiguration with the new 2016 domain controllers or can an adjustment be made with the 2012 Terminal Servers?
Is the problem that Windows 2016 Domain Controllers are not compatible with 2012 R2 Remote Desktop Services servers?
We are having problems finding documentation on this.
What we do know is that if we decide to start upgrading to new 2016 Terminal Servers we will have to purchase new 2016 RDS Cals (not sure if we are budgeted for that...)
For those interested, you can find out the domain controller you are using by running the following elevated PowerShell command (this assumes the command is run remotely as you might be locked out due to the RDP access denied error):
nltest /Server:<your-terminal-server> /DSGETDC:<ad domain>
to specify the domain controller you want to be on (in our case we want to switch to back to a 2012 R2 domain controller), the command is:
nltest /Server:<your-terminal-server> /SC_RESET:<ad domain>\<specific domain controller>

RDS Activated, but just able to connect 2 users at the time
Hi,
Trying to set up a new manamgemnt server. Activated RDS on it, and it gets the connections to the servers as it should. Changed the gpedit (Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Connections) for limit number of connections.
But still just two can connect at the same time. Is there anything else that should be checked off somewhere?

Connection Broker unable to connect any user to available workstations
I have a fail-over cluster with two host servers and one connection broker. Each server is running Server 2016. Within the RDS deployment, there are multiple pools for individual workstation pools. The virtual machines in the pools are running Windows 10. We have a similar deployment for many sites across our company. They work pretty flawlessly most of the time. However, occasionally an issue arises where all users will receive the "requested session access is denied". Upon investigating, the services seem to be running, as expected. The virtual machines in the pools are running, and I can connect to them via Hyper-V Manager. There is just some disconnect that arises between the Connection Broker, the RDS Deployment, and the vms. The quick fix I've found is to restart the Connection Broker, which resolves the issues. I've tried restarting only the Remote Desktop Connection Broker service, but that didn't correct the problem.
In the event logs, at the time of the problem, I'm seeing:
RD Connection Broker could not find an assigned Personal Virtual Desktop for user XXXXX. HRESULT = 0x80070005
and
RD Connection Broker failed to process the connection request for user XXXXX. Load Balancing failed or Specified endpoint could not be found. Error: Access is denied.
Again, this is for ALL users across the deployment, and the issue is corrected when restarted the connection broker. I'm stumped. Has anyone seen this before or have any insight?

Recreating Gen2 Virtual Desktop Pool
Hello
I am running a Server 2016 based RDS deployment. I have created a virtual desktop collection with Gen2 VM as the master image.
The collection will deploy initially with no issues at all and work as it is expected to do.
However, when I attempt to recreate all desktops due to updates etc, the job will fail with the following error reported in Server Manager:
Failed: Task: Calling into Hyper-V: failed. Result of task [0x80004005]
Looking in the event logs on the CB I am able to find this message under Microsoft-Windows-TerminalServices-SessionBroker/Admin:
VM host [host.name] failed to execute VM Provisioning operation [Task: Calling into Hyper-V: ] for virtual machine [Gen-0] in pool [Gen_2_Test], Error: [Unspecified error ]
If I look in the VMMS event log on the actual Hyper-V host itself I can find this message:
The description for Event ID 4120 from source Microsoft-Windows-Hyper-V-VMMS cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component
on the local computer.
If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.
The following information was included with the event:
Gen-0
ꐿ˜
崜翶
%%2147942402
0x80070002
ꐿ˜
崜翶
%%2147942402
0x80070002
The locale specific resource for the desired message is not present
However, the machine is still there and booted? However it will stop the rest of the recreations so a collection with more than one vm will not finish.
Any pointers would be really appreciated I've Googled everything, tried with/without checkpoints, with/without the machines started at the time of recreation, with/without secure boot and nothing works. All that works, is regeneration with a Gen1 VM
Please help :)

RD Client Android and iPad issues with Server 2016
Hi,
Since a recent update, it is no longer possible to connect to a machine running Server 2016 on the iPad and Android MS RD apps. The following message appears when trying to connect:
We couldn't connect to the remote PC. This might be due to an expired password. If this keeps happening, ask your admin or tech support for help. Error code: 0x207.
This has been tried on several servers, including fresh installs, with separate users.
There is not a problem with server 2012 R2.
Please can you help? Our staff are unable to use their iPads and Chromebooks to access important software on a remote server.
I would appreciate it if someone could get back to me as soon as possible as this is getting quite urgent now.
Kind regards,
Mark Cromwell

RDS problems
Hi,
We have a RDS server ( Windows Server 2012 ) connected to a DC controller ( Windows 2016 ) : frequently users can't login because domain can't be reached.
We already pushed the server in the domain again but problem remains, the events logged are
- 36887 schannel
- 1061 : remote desktop session host server was unable to retrieve users licensing information from AD. Error 0x8007054b
- 5719 NETLOGON
After sometime ... adn without changes users can login again.
What could the problem be and how could we solve that ?

Can't connect to RDP on Windows Server 2016
Hi,
We have a Server 2016 with Remote Desktop Services enable but we can't connect to it anymore (it worked before).
We tried a lot of things already but not solved it yet. It seems the RDS isn't accepting connections on port 3389.
- telnet to it on port 3389 not working
- ping does work
- verified the port setting in registry
- rebooted the server
- added a separate rule to allow 3389 always
- netstat -an doesn't show an listening port on 3389
Someone an idea?

RDS Profiles not Roaming on 2016 Servers (when using AD profile setting), but works with GPO
Hey Everyone,
I'm experimenting with 2016 RDS, as I want to upgrade our 2012R2 Session Host servers. I have 2012R2 domain controllers (if that matters).
I am noticing that roaming RDS profiles isn't working at all on my 2016 RDS session host servers. A user logs in and gets a local profile, and when they log out, the profile isn't uploaded at all. It's basically just a regular local profile. I have the field set to \\fileserver\rdsprofiles in AD. This has worked fine in RDS in 2003, 08R2, and 2012R2.
However, if I create a GPO and set the profile location that way (Computer - Policies - Administrative Templates - Windows Components - RDS - Session Host - Profiles - Set path for Remote Desktop Services Roaming User Profile), roaming profiles are created on the share and everything works fine, and I can see a new .v6 profile being created. Logging in and out roams the profile properly.
Any thoughts as to why? Has the AD 'Remote Desktop Services Profile' attribute been depreciated for 2016?
I have tried lots of troubleshooting, deleting profiles, new shares, etc, I can't seem to get it to work with the AD attribute (but works fine when set with GPO).
EDIT: Tried this in a homelab setup as well (all 2016 servers), and same thing - only the GPO setting takes effect.

Help with CAPTCHA on Web RDS
I am trying to find a workaround for my company to secure our Web RDS gateway. Putting it on the VPN is the last option we want to take, and as such I have been looking into implementing CAPTCHA to stop brute force attacks from occuring. Any help on how
to do this would be great! P.S: Multiple Factor Authentication is simply not an option. Otherwise we would go with this.

RemoteFX Display problems with Windows 8.1 VM but not with Windows 7 VM running on Hyper-V VDI Server 2012R2
Has anyone seen anything like this?
After many, many, hours of wading through and eliminating potential variables the issue has been narrowed down to being present with a Windows 8.1 VM and not on Windows 7 VM.
The problem is with glitchy display issues (Random Pixellation, Fuzzy Screen areas, Entire Screen filled with random shapes/colors etc.).
This is a Server 2012 R2 environment it is running Hyper-V Remote Desktop Virtualization Host.
- An Nvidia Quadro K2200 adapter has been enabled for RemoteFX and passed through.
- Also have tried Nvidia Grid K2 adapter. Both adapters use same driver set and multiple driver versions have been tested.
- Two Generation 1 VM's have been created. One for WIndows 8.1, One for Windows 7. All updates installed.
- Each VM uses the same set of Hyper-V resources, Virtual Switch etc. (The settings for each VM are the same).
- With RemoteFX disabled on each VM the issue is not present on either VM.
- With RemoteFX enabled on each VM the issue is present on the Windows 8.1 VM and not the Windows 7 VM.
- There is no difference if only one VM at a time is enabled and running. (Not GPU load related)

How to connect to different Collections from the same Web Access server?
I am looking for a way to use a single RD Web Access page to connect to different Collections. Here is what I have.
Session Collection 1 - Application published using farm webapp.domain.com (Five servers)
Session Collection 2 - Remote Desktop published using farm rds01.domain.com (Five servers)
Session Collection 3 - Remote Desktop published using farm rds02.domain.com (Five servers)
Each farm has a different use case and applications, hence the three farms. But I would like users to access any of them by logging into https://web.domain.com/RDWeb.
The farms are using round robin DNS, which could be part of the problem. I did this so if you use mstsc, the computer name points to rds01 which has an A record to all five servers.
The other potential problem could be that I used Set-RDPublishedName on the Connection Broker and changed the name to webapp.domain.com. I did this so the wildcard SSL certificate didn't issue any warnings.
It appears that the published name on the Connection Broker is what the Web Access server uses to launch everything. So instead of Remote Desktop going to RDS01 or RDS02, everything redirects to webapp. If what I am trying to do is possible, what do I need to change?

Cant log onto more than 2 RDS connections 2016
I have installed RDS licence for 3 users on windows server 2016. None of the licences seem to be assigned when i generate a report. The licencsing server is activated, as is the host server. But it still will try and force another user off when more than
one RDS user tries to log in. Also, when i look at the propertied for deployment, it appears that there are 2 liceinsing servers- one with the local name and one with the internal ip address of the server. Any ideas?
