Error publishing RemoteApp

$
0
0

Hi All,

I´m configuring RDS on Windows 2012R2. I have two production RDS Servers and I installed one Broker and Gateway Server and two session Hosts. After creating a collection with two hosts I wanted to add a RemoteApp. On host1 no problem at all, but on host2 I receive following error:

Server.local is not available on the Network. Verify that the Server is available on the Network or remove the Server from the collection.

It´s not possible to publish a RemoteApp on that host. Does anyone has an idea?

Thanks.

Regards,
Dirk



Single server solution for RDS / TS / RDP using Windows Server 2012 R2

$

0

Planning on setting up a small single server and  need this functionality:

* 3 local users runnnig Windows 7 Home Premium needs to access files on the server

* The same 3 users should also be able to connect from home (PC, Mac, iPhone) and run an application on the server. (Session-Based Remote Desktop).

We want to use Windows Server 2012, and found out that Essentials does not support RDP, so that leaves Foundation and Standard versions.

However, I also found out that in WS 2012 the RDP can not be on the same server as the Domain Controller, and we therefor needs to run 2 server instances on our hardware. I think this starts to look way to complicated for what we want to do, but found out that WS 2012 R2 allows a single server to run RDP (See TechNet article 2833839).

So we will go for Windows Server 2012 R2, either Foundation or Standard to set up our RDP.

So now the question: Will that solution work with our local machines running Windows 7 Home Premium, as they cannot connect to a domain? Can we set up some kind of simple file share or Workgroup to acces files locally while still keeping the RDP functionality on the server?

And, will WS 2012 Foundation R2 do this as well as WS 2012 Standard R2?

(I have been asking several locat MS representatives to find a solution to our needs, but no one seems to know how this works....of cause we could just get 2 WS 2012 Standard server instances, run one as DC and on as RDCB and upgrade all our clients to Win 7 Pro, but we would like a solution with minimal investment in time and money)

Is there a way that we restrict Logon to our Terminal Server so that users can only Logon between specific times...?

We are using windows Server 2008 R2

for example between 8AM and 6PM

There is a problem with this connection's security certificate The remote computer cannot be authenticated due to problems with its security certificate. Security certificate problems might indicate an attempt to fool you or intercept any data you send

Hi,

I have this Windows 2008 R2 on which I installed remoteapp some years ago.
Now the certificate expired and I get the message

"There is a problem with this connection's security certificate

The remote computer cannot be authenticated due to problems with its security certificate.

Security certificate problems might indicate an attempt to fool you or intercept any data you send to the remote computer."

How should I renew the certificate? I already went to certification store and tried to renew certificate with same key but then it says "the request contains nor certificate template information".

Please advise.

Server 2008 R2 - Remote Desktop Users group cannot connect

$
0
0

I've recently (yesterday) installed a new 2008R2 member server to be used as a Terminal Server host. I have (on another machine) licensing configured. The host server allows Admins to remote in, but doesn't allow anyone else, including those in the Remote Desktop User group. I have a 2003 R1 server online, which uses this same group, and everyone in it can remote into the 2003 box just fine.

I have used secpol, and did have to add the Remote Desktop Users to the allowed list. No effect however.

It seems I can manually add individual users this way, but its as if it doesn't "see" the Remote User Group's members.

I have one 2008R2 DC in the forest, the others are 2003. It was added yesterday as well (and is the licensing server, if that matters.)

On a related note, I also added a 2008R2 Storage server recently (member server). When I tried to assign share rights to a folder yesterday, it wouldn't let me select the administrators group. It seems as if both 2008 R2 machines arn't "seeing" groups listed under the AD Builtin security group.

What am I missing?

thanks in advance.

 We have a w2008 R2 terminal server for a week now and clients make a vpn connection. They copy paste pictures from local to a Word 2010 document on the terminal server.

Everthing function well before. Same clients and a w2003 terminal server with Word 2010. Users copy local picture (openend in Paint, Microsoft Photo viewer, Irfanview, etc.) and than copy paste it to a Word document on the terminal server.

Now it does not work anymore accept when they opend it local in Paint. Only than they can copy the picture.  

-I have checkt de properties on client

-I have restart rdpclip.exe on Termnal server.

-I have checked if it is a rights issue but it seems that it's not

I realy like to find a solution for this because doing it with MSPaint is al lot of work for the people. 

Does any has a answer for this?

Your help will be appreciated.

 

Cannot Connect to a Remote PC (remote app server) when access through RDS Gateway remotely

$

We have a W2k12r2 RDS environment with 3 remote hosts and two remote gateway servers. Remote Apps are working fine both inside our network and from remote networks. Connect To A Remote PC works fine inside our network from anywhere on the WAN.

When connecting remotely, I cannot connect to a remote PC when going through the gateway. I am able to RDP from the Gateway machine to any server I want, but the RDS Web interface Connect to a Remote PC will not connect. Nothing in the event viewer of either Gateway machine and nothing is getting blocked in the firewall. I have tried making the connection both via host name and via ip address.

I have published a RDP as an Remote APP and that is able to connect. It's just the Connect To A Remote PC option that does not connect. It just times out without an error message.

Auto start an application - best practices

$

I'm looking for some thoughts and opinions on this issue.

New 2012 R2 RDS farm, there is one application we did not put on the terminal server because out of 100 users, only one person ever uses it.  It's installed to an available file server in the environment.

For now the person is RDPing from her RDS session to the file server, and running the app.  Problem: the full desktop is presented. 

What i would like is to be able to edit an RDP file and on the Programs tab select "Start the following program on connection" which brings up the second problem, it's not an RDS server so that setting is ignored.

The program itself is actually shared out from the server, she has a shortcut to the exe, the thought process was just run the application over the network, but due to a limitation in the software it does not work.

Any ideas, short of installing this application to all 3 rds servers in the farm?

Hi,

I am not sure if anyone has come across this issue with windows remote app. When a user uses remote app integrated with outlook which is also setup on user terminal server profile, the user pc sort of hangs when sending out emails with outlook. So when the user click send on the remote app software, messages start sending out and user cant clieck anything else or work on the local pc until messages finishes sending. I am note there will be no direct to the answer for this but will be great if I can get more ideas on troubleshooting. Outlook version installed on the server is 2003.

Thanks very much everyone.

Cheers,

Pwint.

Windows Server 2012 and win 8 app on terminal server

$

On a windows 2012 server, is it possible to install a windows 8 app that can be accessed (via terminal services/remote desktop) by client computers running prior version of Windows, such as 7, Vista and maybe XP? (Obviously without the touch capability). In other words, can a  windows 8 app be accessed via terminal server by other versions of Windows or it must be only Windows 8? 

Also, I read that the new RDC can also be downloaded from the Windows Store to a tablet, but what tablet? "Surface" , iPad, Android?

Thanks so much

Unable to connect to 2012 R2 using RDC inside a C#/WPF application

$

I wrote a C#/WPF app that can remotely connect to a Windows 7 (or prior) and  2008 R2 (or prior). It cannot connect to Windows 8 or 2012 R2 server though.   

Basically, the application is a "Microsoft RDP Client Control - version 8" (Pulled from the Tool Box) inside a Windows form user control, but the generated code writes " private AxMSTSCLib.AxMsRdpClient7 rdc;" Shouldn't it be " private AxMSTSCLib.AxMsRdpClient8 rdc;" But the latter doesn't appear as an option in the list (From Intellisense)


I searched the web on updating the MSTSCLib dll or any other related but couldn't find any answers

NOTE: The OS is up to date. It is possible to connect to 2012R2 server using the RDC in the "Accessories" tab. 

 

RDS 2012 - HTTP & UDP Gateway Connections Reset

$
0

Hi

I have a single Windows 2012 R2 RDS server, which acts as all the RDS roles, including RD Gateway.

I also have an Windows 2012 R2 IISARR server setup to reverse proxy 443 connections to the server, and have port 3391 open on our firewall to allow UDP connections.

In short, if I connect using an RDP 8 client, I get three connections as expected. One HTTP and two UDP. If I connect using an RDP 7 client, I get one RPC-HTTP connection, again as expected.

The problem is that whereas the RPC-HTTP connection is stable, the HTTP & UDP connections disconnect every 2-5 minutes. The client screen goes black and a Reconnect Attempt 1/20 windows is displayed. Each time though the connection re-establishes itself and the session is not reset. 

In the gateway manager, monitoring page, you can witness these connections disconnecting and re-connecting. It's very puzzling. The event logs acknowledge the disconnect, stating reason 0.

On the Windows 8 clients, I've tried the recent hotfix 2897602 and tried turning off Windows Location Services. But that doesn't help. 

I've read a lot about UDP and RDP8, with some saying it doesn't work properly and that you should turn it off. However, I have it turned on as I was having problems scrolling PDF files in the remote session, which the UDP connections fixed.

Any help with this would be much appreciated. I've done so much research and spent so much time on it...

Thanks

[Forum FAQ] Troubleshoot the error “The Remote Desktop Session Host server is in Per User licensing mode and No Redirector Mode”

$
0
0

Symptom


RD License server is a key component of RDS. It licenses users to access RDS servers.

After purchase the required RDS CALs, we need to activate the RDS License server and install the purchased RDS CALs. However, during the installation or after installation, we may face errors about RDS License.


In most cases, the following error may occur.

Error:

The Remote Desktop Session Host server is in Per User licensing mode and No Redirector Mode, but license server "Server name" does not have any installed licenses with the following attributes:

Product version: Windows Server 2012

Licensing mode: Per User

License type: RDS CALs


Troubleshooting


1. Check whether the RD License Configuration is configured properly and there are no Warnings in the Event.

2. The License Server should be part of 'RD Server License' group in Active Directory Domain Services.

3. Check if the Licensing Mode is correct.

- To change the Licensing Mode we can use RD Licensing diagnose, PowerShell cmdlet and Group Policy.


Via PowerShell cmdlet:

To change the licensing mode on RDSH/RDVH:

$obj = get-wmiobject -namespace "Root/CIMV2/TerminalServices" Win32_TerminalServiceSetting

$obj.ChangeMode(value)

# Value can be 2 - per Device, 4 - Per user


Via Group Policy

Path: Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Remote Desktop Services -> Remote Desktop Session Host -> Licensing


Use the specified RD license servers = FQDN of server name

Set the Remote Desktop licensing mode =Per User


However, if issue persists, please provide detailed information and post the question in the
Remote Desktop Services (Terminal Services) forum.

Windows 2012 R2 optional NLA

$

im running windows 2012 R2 session host farm and i want to take advantage of NLA for all my clients.

Nevertheless, i have legacy clients that still need to connect without NLA

As far as i can see, the only way to enable NLA on Windows 2012 R2 is to enforce NLA.

Is there  any option to configure my Windows 2012 R2 Session farm so that it accept NLA if supported by the client and to allow also normal not NLA connections from the other legacy clients?

Host RemoteApp on Windows 8.1

I am using a laptop with Windows 8.1 Pro edition, and have the original Microsoft Surface RT.

I'd like to run Adobe Lightfoot on my Surface by setting up a remote app connection to the Windows 8.1 box.

I cannot even get Notepad to work.  The RDP RemoteApp starts, asks for my credentials, authenticates successfully .... then nothing.  I used the RemoteApp Tool for the GUI simplicity to configure my RDP files.  I noticed my event viewer security log shows me successfully logging in, then suddenly it logs me out.

Anybody familiar with doing this setup?

BSOD on Session Hosts 2012 R2 after update KB 2959626

$

Hello!

We are using Session Hosts on Windows server 2012 R2 with Connection Brokers, Web Access servers etc. on separate servers.

We experienced the following issue: a client has active connection to RemoteApp; after losing network connection client (quite often) cannot reconnect to his session:"starting remoteapp" window is hanging and there is a black screen in "show details". Our helpdesk personnel have to logoff user's session.

We have tried many things to solve this issue and at last update KB 2959626 helped us. But (how often there is a "but"!) after this update servers have begun to crush (1-2 times a week, also in working hours) with BSOD (Bug Check 0xAB: SESSION_HAS_VALID_POOL_ON_EXIT).

Has anybody dealt with problems after this update? Are there any workarounds?

Any help would be appreciated.

SERVER CONFIGURATION - PROBLEM SETTING UP LICENSE SERVER

I HAVE SETUP WINDOWS SERVER 2012 IN A PC AND MADE IT MEMBER OF THE DOMAIN. I HAVE INSTALLED RD LICENSE SERVER AND RD GATEWAY SERVER TO THE SAME SERVER. I ALSO CONFIGURED THE LICENSING MODE TO 'PER USER' AND HAVE INSTALLED USER CAL (FOR 50 USERS). STILL IT DISPLAYS A MESSAGE ON STARTUP THAT REMOTE DESKTOP LICENSING MODE IS NOT CONFIGURED.

IS THIS COULD BE AN ISSUE OF CERTIFICATES OR TRUSTS?

User Profile Disks require SMB 3.0?

$

Hi all,

I have some netapp space available for User profile disks, the netapp does not support SMB 3.0 and when I try and apply the setting i get an RPC error: 

0x800706BA

Similar to this thread here which suggested SMB3 was required.

http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/5a4e6fb8-ad10-4ac1-b3ac-55d414b3fb17/got-rpc-server-is-unavailable-error-when-configuring-user-profile-disk-to-use-a-samba-share?forum=winserverTS

So would like clarification, is SMB 3.0 a requirement?

I have managed to setup a file share on a windows 2012r2 box on storage which does not support SMB3.0 and it works... I don't know if windows is doing something funky in the back end to make it work though.

Thanks
