access to session host error
cannot activate licence in server 2019 for rds because it says I haven't specified the type of user I have installed
Unable to add RDSH to existing Collections
Current Setup
2x RDS Brokers – Server 2012 R2
1x RDS SQL Database / RD License / RD Web Access / no RS Gateway configured
Round Robin DNS configured to both Brokers – working as intended
5x RDSH 2012 R2 servers for PROD collection
2x additional RDS 2012 R2 servers yet to be added
The environment is used to connect to either a DEV, TEST or PROD app. Separate collections are setup for each. Domain Users have access to the collections and apps. Security to the apps is handled by the app itself with separate login requirements.
The Problem
I have built two new RDSH servers to help with capacity as the number of users has increased dramatically since the solution was released many years ago. When I try and add these new servers into the current PROD collection, I get an error “Unable to retrieve collection properties” and the wizard ends.
However, and here’s the odd part. When I create a new collection, I can add the two new servers plus one of the other PROD RDSH servers (I removed it as part of testing) to the newly created collection. I also have the same problem if I try just adding one of the old RDSH servers too. If I remove one of the RDSH servers from this Test Collection I can’t then re-add it back again. I have to scrap the collection completely and build a new one.
I’ve switched RDMS logging on and the logs don’t tell me anything I don’t already know – copy of log below (redacted server names). All servers im testing with are at the same current patch level too.

Has anyone encountered this problem before and if so, how did you solve it? Is this an issue with the RDS SQL database? If so, is there way I can fix it? Restoring isn’t an option as we don’t know how long its been like this and would take far too long in going through backups.
Thanks
Microsoft Edge access the to RD Web Access site - RDP and wrong credentials
We have RD Web on 2016 server (we use this server for administrative work on our network). The users access from RD Web from their desktops(using standard user credentials). When logging in to RD Web, the users us their administrative accounts (domain admin).
The users are able to run the remoteapps using IE11.
When using Microsoft Edge, accessing the remoteapps, RDP file is downloaded. I don't mind that. But, the connection wants to use the standard credentials instead of the admin account used to logon to web server. This does not happen in IE11.
How do I solve the credential issue in Microsoft Edge with the Remote Apps?
Thank you.
RD Client on IPad : disconnected from server with error code 0x00000003
Hi
we have Windows server 2016 based remote desktop services setup there is a session host assigned to each user (server as a desktop) and we got single gateway server which is also connection broker.
when we try to connect from Ipad which is on latest IOS version 9.3.5 with RD Client APP version 8.1.34.1707311425when we download RDP file from RDWEB first time it works fine, but then we go back to RD Client app and try to connect again it always comes up with this error disconnected from server with error code 0x00000003
having checked event log on Gateway/connection broker server I see following 4 warnings logged for each connection attempt from iPAD.
1. The network characteristics detection function has been disabled because of Reason Code: 2(Server Configuration)..
2. Interface method called: SendLogonErrorInfoToClient(WinlogonStatus: 0x80070005, ClientError: 0xffffffff)
3. TCP socket READ operation failed, error 64
4. RDP_TCP: An error was encountered when transitioning from StateUnknown in response to Event_Disconnect (error code 0x80070040).
so far we not had any issues connecting from windows machines or even Mac machines using RD Client App.
its only happening while connecting from Ipad.
can somone advise any fix please
thanks

RD Session Host and Virtualization Hosts
Bogus error: “The remote computer requires Network Level Authentication, which your computer does not support.”
Hello,
We have Windows 2008 R2 servers with SP1 fully patched and Windows 7 SP1 desktops also fully patched. We enabled NLA (Network Level Authentication) via group policy recently after we decommissioned our last 2003 R2 server. We can connect to all of our 2008 R2 servers via remote desktop except for one. We get the error:
“The remote computer requires Network Level Authentication, which your computer does not support.”
We are using other 2008 R2 servers and Windows 7 desktops to try to connect to the server. They all support NLA. But we still get the message. We rebooted the server from the console. That still did not resolve it. We could turn NLA off in the group policy at least for this server but we need it turned on for compliance reasons.
Any suggestions on what the issue is?
Thanks.
Remote desktop disconnections
Hi,
We deployed a virtual hybrid RDS architecture as follow:
- 2 Domain Controllers on 2016 (Licence server)
- 1 Broker on 2016 (no gateway)
- 3 Application server used as remote app on 2012R2
- A cluster of 2 TSE servers (RDSH) on 2012 R2
It works almost well i just got a little problem, sometimes when we try to connect on remote app ou directly via RDP we got a connection error, like when the server is offline, but when i ping ther server during the blocage i don't lose any packet.
When we try a second time it works as usual.
I tried to troubleshoot it myself, found some event (227) on the broker and the RDSH (110/226) found nothing that can resolve that on google, or maybe i'm just not looking to the right spot.
Could you me find out what's the matter ?
Windows 10 1903 remote-app repeating keystrokes
Hi,
All our win 10 1903 clients, immediately after been updated from 1803 to 1903 start repeating keystrokes in remote apps. Servers are 2012 R2. RemoteFX cannot be disabled on session hosts servers since that solution causes problems to some of the apps running. Any one facing the same problem ? Any solution?
Blank Windows / White Bars when using Remote Apps
I am having an issue, exactly as described in a Spiceworks post, 1962989-rds-remoteapp-server-second-empty-window-opens-when-clients-connect, I cannot post links yet.
However, that posters solution of it being a firewall config issue is not the case for me.
Basically, at random times throughout the day, users will suddenly get additional RDP windows that suddenly appear in their taskbar, that do not state any particular program, and when you click on one, all it displays is a white bar where you'd think the top of the Window would normally be. These additional blank windows cannot be closed, not even forcefully from the client side. The only way around it is to have the user log completely out of all remote apps and disconnect, and wait a minute, then sign back in. (Server is set to log off disconnected users after 1 minute in order to work around this incredibly irritating issue).
I've modified keep alive timeouts, changed physical firewalls, RemoteFX settings, and even ran network traffic analyzers between both the server and the clients to see if packet loss was an issue, and it is not.
Server is Windows 2016 hosted on AWS.
Clients are all Windows 10 v1803.
Windows 10 1903 RDP With OpenGL 3.0 Application
I need to use Windows 10 RDP from my primary computer running Windows 10 Pro version 1903 to control my headless media server also running Windows 10 Pro version 1903. This was working fine until I upgraded the media server from 1809 to 1903. At that point the ROON application (full Control, Core, and Output PC x64) would no longer start, complaining that it needed OpenGL 3.0. Sure enough, the Remote Display Adapter used on the 1903 RDP client says it only supports OpenGL 1.1.
So, why did this only start happening on version 1903, and what can I do about it other than stop using RDP and install TeamViewer or one of the other alternatives?
RemoteFX looks like it could be a solution, and MS seems to think it is a solution, but I cannot find any documentation of how to set up RemoteFX on Windows 10 to use for a RDP session with a different computer, rather than with a virtual machine on the same computer.
If anyone can provide help, I'd certainly appreciate it.

HTML 5 RDS issue with ILO and ESX console
Hi There,
We have recently moved from Citrix XEN to MS Windows Hyper-V to provision our virtual machines to students to teach them how to work with certain hardware/software. To reach our goal we've setup 5 blades running Server 2019 Datacenter Edition with Hyper-V and an extra blade that runs our RDS environment. Since we have students remoting in from a variety of places and companies and RDP is blocked by most we opted to use the new HTML 5 webclient.
The problem we are facing is that in an HTML5 session, whenever a students accesses a ProLiant iLO through either .NET or Java the keyboard stops functioning, or should we say, the key mapping no longer makes sense. The ENTER key works but everything else
is not resulting in output. If we take over our HTML5 session with RDP we can see that the input is in fact there, but it is gibberish.. in other words a W becomes a / and a ? becomes a ".In NOTEPAD or WORD or any other application the input is proper
and keyboard mapping is fine. As soon as we open an iLO session or even the ESX Console the keyboard mapping is off.
We thought of raising a case with MicroSoft, however, HTML 5 webclient still being a BETA Product we figured try the forum first.
Thanks!
Dimitri.

Black screen after login | RDP in Windows Server 2012R2 | VMWare remote console in Windows Server 2012R2
Hello everybody
I even have a scenario with Windows Server 2012, where on the remote console via VMWare I enter username / password and then black screen.
I try to do Remote Desktop, open the remote console and then close without asking for Login.
I can only log in to the VMWare console in safe mode.
All the tips I try to apply are not successful.
I appreciate any information that can identify where this failure is and avoid redoing the installation.
Best Regards,

Accessing recently build RDS server does not trigger MFA authentication
I built a 2016 RDS/RD Gateway VM with roles of RD Access, RD Gateway, NPS, Licensing server, RD Broker.
I have installed the MFA agent configured the same as other RDS Servers.
The new server is named RDS-GW and the gateway portion is working properly, however, I cannot get the MFA to trigger when trying to access from outside of our network, or within the network on an untrusted IP range.
When configuring the MFA agent, all other MFA servers are listed.
All other RDS servers are triggering the MFA when trying to connect to them.
Any help will be appreciated.
Registry settings for making Virtual machine(created in VDI cluster) available in VDI collection

RDP farm automatic session reconnect
We have a RDP farm with 100+ users who are using Windows 10. Sometimes we have network problems like short network outages and packet losses. When network problems occur users are disconnected from RDP session with error: Your Remote Desktop Services session has ended.
However when I am logged on random server (not member of RDP farm) and network problems occur - I have window that says: The connection has been lost. Attempting to reconnect to your session...
In connection properties of RDP when connecting to RDP farm the checkbox "Reconnect if the connection is dropped" is checked and grayed out.
Why RDP doesn't try to reconnect itself in RDP farm and looses connection immediately? Are there any settings that control this behavior? Sometimes users are forced to manually reconnect to RDP farm several times per hour if network is unstable. If there is no such setting may be there is at least timeout setting that I can configure for higher values so that RDP session survive short network outages?

Remote desktop services
dear sir / madam,
currently I'm deploying the application utilizing thin manager. The application is utilizing the RDS (Remote Dekstop service). I have primary and backup/additional domain control. Step 1 is to configure RDS and this step requires the Primary Domain control running.
The RDS works properly if the Primary Domain Control (PDC) is running, but if the PDC problem/not connected then the RDS is not connected (additional domain control is running).
Is the RDS is only connect to PDC ? How can i configure the RDS which connecting to PDC and additional Domain control..so when ever the PDC is down, the RDC still connect to additional domain control
please advise
Thank You
