Terminal Server profiles path between Server 2008

My existing Citrix farm has published desktops on Server 2008 x86 SP1, and the new farm I'm building is based on Server 2008 R2 x64. I can't get the x64 servers to use the same path as the x86 servers, despite having the same GPO's.

Both have the same GPO linked: under Computer Configuration/Policies/Administrative Templates/Windows Components/Remote Desktop Session Host/Profiles, the path is set to \\server\share\%username%.

When a user who doesn't have a profile logs in to a Server 2008 x86 server, after they log out their profile is uploaded to the share as \\server\share\username.V2. When a user logs into Server 2008 R2, it doesn't pull their username.V2 profile and instead creates a new one as \\server\share\username\username.domain.V2.

Please help me get the x64 R2 servers to use the existing TS profiles.

Hi,

We have a Windows 2008 R2 Terminal Server (workgroup) with SQL Server and C# application installed on the same terminal server.

Around 50 users access this terminal server. Since 15 days, everyday between 3PM to 4 PM, all the 50 user sessions gets dicsonnected at the same time and without anything done on the server, users can RDP again and work without any problems.

Verified event logs, terminal server logs, network, firewall, router etc. everything is working fine.

Only thing observed is, when RDP sessions gets disconnected, we see PING time out.

Any help to address this issue is appreciated.

RD Session Host slows down program

Hi All,

I have a problem with a new installed RD Server.
The configuration is as following:

The RD is running on Hyper-V. (VM host is Server 2012 R2 std)
Server 2012 R2 Std
CPU: 4 cores
Mem: 8GB

On the server is a program installed that is using SolidDB v4.50.
The program it self is fast, however when I install RD Session Host the program slows down.
Logging into it takes about 20 seconds, without the RD Session Host it takes a second or 2-4.

The other programs as Word, Outlook (Basically the only programs that are being in use) are fast.

I have also tried to install a new VM, same setup as above and made a fresh installation.
Without the RD Session Host its fast, Session host installed and the program is slow.

Does anyone have a suggestion howto improve the speeds?

Thanks in advance,

Patrick

Uninstall keyboard layout from user profile

Hello All,

On a Windows Server 2008 R2 system running as a Remote Desktop Session Host (with Dell/Quest vWorkspace) I have an issue where somehow people have had the Chinese PRC language automatically selected.  These people are not people that would even have that language installed on their local systems - so the IgnoreRemoteKeyboardLayout registry setting would not be of much use (I have applied it either way).

The system at one time had a need for some people to have the ability to select that language within the language bar; however, now that is no longer the case.  I do not have the keyboard set to launch automatically for individual users.  How can I get rid of that language as one of the keyboards available to them?

Thanks

Hi,

One of my customer is having a VDI requirement and we are going to implement it using server 2012 R2. They are having few Windows XP PCs and their intend is to use those PCs as thin clients. Major concern is that they need to connect user’s personal desktop using those Windows XP machines but without booting into Windows XP. Basically they need seamless user experience with virtual desktop without interacting with Windows XP. Is there any way to achieve this? Please advise in this regard.

Thank you,

Regards,

Thisaru Perera.

How to undo the automatically start program to when a user logs on

I have followed this following directions (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc736643%28v=ws.10%29.aspx#BKMK_TSC) :

"Using Terminal Services Configuration

    • Open Terminal Services Configuration.
    • In the console tree, click Connections.
    • In the details pane, right-click the connection for which you want to specify an initial program, and then clickProperties.
    • On the Environment tab, under Initial program, selectStart the following program when the user logs on. This option allows you to configure an initial program for the connection.

      • If you select Do not allow an initial program to be launched. Always show desktop, then Terminal Services cannot start a specified initial program automatically when a client connects to a terminal server. Instead, the user must start programs by using the default desktop that is displayed during the Terminal Services session.
    • If you select Run initial program specified by user profile and Remote Desktop Connection or Terminal Services client, then the program that is specified in the default user profile and in Remote Desktop Connection or the Terminal Services client will run when the client connects to the terminal server.
  1. If you selected Start the following program when the user logs on, inProgram path and file name, type the path and file name of the program that you want to start when the user logs on to the terminal server.
  2. In Start in, type the working directory path for the program, and then clickOK."

    3. the problem is that now all of the server users get the specific program automatically starts when logged on and i cant undo it because i cant get to the desktop or to the "tscc.msc"

    is there a way to fix it?

    Server 2012 RDS - User Profile Disks - Errors during Logoff

    I have set up a test Server 2012 RDS collection (Single Server for now) and implemented User Profile disks.

    I have two problems.

    First: My generic test user can connect and does successfully use the user profile disk as expected. However, atlogoff, the system event log contains these errors:


    The error (NTFS 137) is: The default transaction resource manager on volume C:\Users\ts3.test encountered a non-retryable error and could not start.  The data contains the error code.

    The warning (NTFS 50) that concerns me is:

    It appears that the user profile disk is being "disabled" or "disconnected" before the profile data is completely written at logoff. What can I do to troubleshoot this?

    Second:

    Update: A post from Mike Connor on the following page: -LINK- solved the problem described below. 

    My administrative user always logs on now with a temporary profile. At the beginning, the UPD was working and mounting. That stopped working. In attempting to troubleshoot, I logged the admin user off and deleted the UPD disk file from the share. I remember it working again after generating a new UPD disk file in the share. Soon, it quit working again. I deleted the UPD disk file again from the share and ever since, it has never regenerated a new UPD andalways logs on with a temporary profile.

    SSO issues with Windows Server 2012 R2

    • Two Windows Server 2012 R2 DCs
    • Windows Server 2012 R2 server with all RDS roles installed
    • Trusted certificate has been deployed on the server
    • Windows 8 Embedded
    • RDP protocol being used: 8.0
    • SSO GPO has been created and linked to the top level of the domain and is enforced
    • GPO setting: Computer Configuration -> Policies -> Administrative Templates -> System/Credentials delegation -> Enabled -> TERMSRV/fqdn.domain.com
    • RDS web feed GPO has been created and linked to the OU containing the users that need this subscription.
    • GPO settings: User Configuration -> Policies -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Remote Desktop Services -> RemoteApp and Desktop Connections -> Enabled -> https://fqdn.domain.com/rdweb/feed/webfeed.aspx
    • GPO Settings User Configuration -> Policies -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Remote DesktopServices -> Remote Desktop Connection Client -> Specify SHA1 thumbprints of certificates representing trusted RDP publishers has been configured.
    • I followed guidance located here to create this GPO setting. <http://morgansimonsen.wordpress.com/2011/03/21/sha1-thumbprints-for-trusted-rdp-publishers/>

    What works correctly:

    • Users get the remote apps on the Metro Start screen.
    • No certificate warnings occur.
    • Gpresult /r shows that the GPOs referenced above are getting applied.

    Issues:

    While users do get the web feed apps, they get prompted for two things when they launch an RDS app:

    • "This RemoteApp could harm your computer....".  The users have the option to say "Don't warn me again" and connect, but I'd like this to not occur at all if possible.
    • They get prompted for a user name and password. This means SSO is not working.

    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

    Dropping Remote connection due to second monitor?

    I have discovered that while working on my desktop, while having a connection open to my server 2012, I keep dropping the connection. What I've discovered is that as long as i work on the primary monitor on my desktop, and then open the remote connection to work on the server, the connection stays alive. When I work on the secondary monitor, for as little as a few minutes, and go back to the primary monitor and expand the server window, the connection has timed out and it reconnects on 1 of 20 try's. 

    I am wired into the modem/router, and this does not drop the connection with my other office's connection to the server 2012, but they do not use multiple monitors on their desktop. 

    Any suggestions?

    Windows 2012 R2 and I will be using this server as a Session Host server in a farm.

    I have tested this out and have found out the error occurs as soon as I join the server to the domain.

    Our Domain is at the functional level 2008 because I have one more DC that isn't 2012.

    all works well and I can use the server as normal but as soon as I add the server to the domain I then start receiving the message 'windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.

    This happens for test user accounts (after RDHS role has been added) that try to use explorer.exe and some other items. It also appears when a domain administrator uses the search function (as soon as added to the domain)  at the start menu and searches for 'windows updates' and then clicks on the search result, error appears. but if you go to the control panel then the function works correctly.

When external users trying to connect to VDI in the pool warning event is created.Remote Desktop Virtualization Host failed to get redirection authentication information from the virtual machine [XXXXPooled-X].  All roles are installed on one server. On the RD Gateway Rap I have selected Allow users to connect to any network resource. Also there is error "Remote Desktop Connection Broker Client failed to redirect the user" In most of cases user can connect but sometimes there is re connection problem. How to investigate that problem ?

    Install Remote Desktop Services Failed on Windows 2012 Server

    I understand RDS is not recommended on DC due to security consideration.  However since I want to play it at home, it is not much a concern.  Such scenario works fine on Windows 2008 R2.  But on Windows 2012, the RDS (session-based, have not tried VDI, but expect same result) installation always fails and is incomplete on DC. 

    In \Administrative Tools\Terminal Services, I only have RD Licensing Diagnoser and RD licensing manager.  The remote desktop service management service cannot be started (Error code: 0x88250001).  Is there any extra configuration needed for RDS working on Server 2012 DC or before the installation?  Thanks.

    Update: this issue has been solved in Windows 2012 R2 Server.  According to http://blogs.msdn.com/b/rds/archive/2013/07/09/what-s-new-in-remote-desktop-services-for-windows-server-2012-r2.aspx

    "Single server RDS deployment including Active Directory. We now support running our RD Connection Broker role service on the same physical instance as an Active Directory Domain Controller.  In addition, we publishedguidelines for how RD Session Host could be used without the RD Connection Broker."

    The guidelines (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2833839/en-us) primarily apply to Windows 2012 Server.

How can they accomplish that? Is there a whitepaper or other resource that can give pointers towards a solution?

    Shadow failed, Error code 7044 and 120 with Multiple Monitors and Windows Server 2008 R2

    We are in the process of moving from Windows 2003 R2 and Citrix XenApp 5 to Windows 2008 R2, and Citrix XenApp6.5. About half of our users and our entire IT Department have multiple monitors. Most of our users connect to a full desktop in Citrix. We had no problem shadowing our users in the old environment but in the new environment we get an error. I understand the reason for this problem is a change in how Windows 2008 R2 supports Multiple Monitors. I know this is by design according tohttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/2484290 but the work around is not acceptable. The issue we have with the work around is that it is more time consuming and requires the user be able to accept the support request invitation. We frequently need to shadow a user when they are not at their desk, or their Citrix session is locked up.

    Does anyone have a better solution or any idea when Microsoft will find a fix for Shadowing?

    Server 2012R2 - Session Host Collection not failing over when forced outage

    Hello,

    This is my RDS setup:

    CB1 - Broker, Web Service, Gateway (Configured HA with CB2)

    CB2 - Broker, Web Service, Gateway (Configured HA with CB1)

    SH1 - Session host in collection

    SH2 - Session host in collection

    SQ1 - SQL server for RDS services

    I have been absolutely stumped by this for weeks now.  All servers are in a VMware environment, and when I force crash one of my brokers, the other one instantly takes over, and is doing as expected.  However, if I try and force boot one of my session hosts, users on the the session host that went down cannot reconnect to the other session host.  Other users are not affected.

    Eventually the CB's will redirect as they are supposed to, but there is no definitive time, it's usually between 30 minutes to an hour, which is just unacceptable.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

    Hi

    I have 2012 R2 VDI host with approx 30 desktops in a single collection. The collection has the below setup:

    What i have found is that when machines are ccreated they are being created on the C:\programdata\ drive of my hyper-v host. The settings of the hyper-v settings default paths are D:\VIRTUAL MACHINES\ however these seem to be being ignored.

    How/Where do I specify the machines should be placed in D:\VIRTUAL MACHINES\? I think my problem is that the "local desktop creation location" (shown above) is perhaps "default", but i can't see how to change it to a path. its greyed out. the PS command "Set-RDSessionCollectionConfiguration" doesn't seem to have that property exposed either....

    bah...

    Thanks
