Seeking solution for function Print to PDF or so called PDF printer. What it happening now, is that in terminal session, sometimes user call support desk, and say, that they have printed other user print job. Most of documents are not important, but some have confidential information and that is not good.

Because I do not won't to test all solution, and have burnout user support telephone lines, I need working solution for Windows Server 2008 R2 terminal server.

Hello.

I am having problems with having a Windows 10 PC access a workstation via RDP through Remote Web Workplace running on SBS 2008.  When the Windows 10 PC tries to access the workstation a dialog box appears:

1. Title:  VBScript Remote Desktop Connection
2. Message:  The wizard cannot configure Remote Desktop Connection settings.  Make sure that the client version of Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) 6.0 or later is installed on this computer.

The Windows 10 PC can access the same workstation without problems when they are not "remote" from each other---just not through the Remote Web Workplace.

Any thoughts?

I am having trouble getting UDP to work for my VDI via the remote gateway, i am using server 2012 with Win 7 SP1 as source clients and as the Virtual desktops.  RDP 8 update is installed and enabled on all.

When i connect internally (not via RD Gateway) no problem

I have enabled UDP transport in the RD Gateway settings

I suspect my issue is the TMG 2010 box which i am using to publish RD gateway, I have setup a server publishing rule for the RD gateway server using UDP port 3391 in a receive send config. But still no joy.

Wondering if anyone else has had any experience in publishing this via a TMG 2010

Cheers

Cheers Richard

scenario 1: I can connect from a win8 client directly to a 2012 RDSH server and see that UDP is enabled in the connection status.

Scenario 2: When I connect from a win8 client and force the client to use the RD Gateway to connect to the same 2012 RDSH server the connection status shows that UDP is not enabled.

The network setup is all internal even when testing the RD Gateway.

The RD Gateway has the UDP transport box checked and is set to the default port 3391.

any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

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^rd. 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 :-)

All the best, Jesper Hassing - MCTS SCCM 2012 - MCSA 2012 Server - MCP

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.

Hi,

We are suddenly not able to connect to the rds 2012 connection broker interface which we need to manage our RDS servers. Also Powershell access isn't working. However all users can work. It looks like it's hanging on something but eventviewer doesn't show why.

Reboot server didn't help.

RemoteDesktopServices_RDPCoreTS gives:

RDP_UDPLOSSY: An error was encountered when transitioning from UdpLossyStateSynRecv in response to UdpEventErrorHandshakeTO (error code 0x80040004).

Please advise.

I open up my RD WEB page and click on a published apps.  The RDP file is downloaded and I have to doubleclick the RDP to open.  

With that said, everytime when I click the apps, a copy of the RDP file is in my download folder.  

Is there a way I can just click on the published app in my RD WEB page and the apps is opened on the fly?

Hi,

I have tested Remote Desktop Services with a self signed certificate. For testing the remote gateway over the internet, I have edited the host file from the client test machine so that the domain of my self signed certificate match the public IP address of the remote desktop gateway and remote web access.

Now I want to test in on a production environment. The DNS is working well on that address and when I go to the rd web access I get the certificate error as expected.

So I wanted to change the certificate by the wildcard I have. For that, I have made 2 changes from the server manager of my DC by clicking "Edit Deployment Properties" in theRemote Desktop Service section.

1. In the RD Gateway section, I have changed the server-name by the new one :



2. In the certificates section, for each item (role service), I have clicked "select existing certificate...", and then "Choose a different certificate", and entering the correct password. I also have checked the checkbox that "allow the certificate to be added to the Trusted Root Certification Authorities certificate store on the destination computers"

When I click "apply", I get the following warning message :

"Could not configure the certificate on one or more servers. Ensure that the servers are available on the network and apply the certificate again."

Then when I go back to the Deployment Properties the warning state is still there, but the correct certificate seems to have been applied. If I close and reopen this window the warning disappears, but the correct certificate is also there.

When I go to the Remote Web Access webpage, I still have this certificate error message, and when I check the certificate, I see that the old certificate (which doesn't match the new url) is still there, instead of the new one!

I have a wildcard certificate (.pfx with private key in my case). All my servers are running Windows Server 2016 TP5, and I have the following configuration : see picture :

We recently upgraded one of our customer's network (WAN) to Fiber and installed new routers in several sites. The customer is migrating from an iVPN scenario where multiple sites establish IPSec tunnels to a central router (in the company's HQ) to a scenario where the Central router is nor required for all sites to communicate with each other. All IP addressing was maintained. What the client is noticing is that in some sites the computers cannot initiate the remote desktop session when using the new fiber line and router (the login process happens, it tries to connect then returns an error) yet we can Telnet to the remote TS server over port 3389 without any problems...  when we switch back to the old ADSL line and router (computer maintains the IP Address) the computer can establish the Remote Desktop session without any problems.

Our Client's IT support is struggling with this problem and hasn't found a solution yet. It doesn't seem to be a connectivity issue as there are 3 sites that are working perfectly with the new fiber line and router. Could it be a licensing problem? Cloud there be some kind of binding that isn't released when the computer switches to the new fiber line and router (yet maintaining the same IP address)? I've read about NAP in TS Server, could it be something along those lines? The IT tech mentioned an Error 21 in the Server's Event Log...

The Licencing type is "Device", and according to the IT Tech there are licenses available.

Any ideas as to what might be behind this strange behaviour? I apologize if there are some important details or information that might be missing, but this isn't a product that I'm totally familiar with :-( I'm trying to help are customer in getting things up and running.

I thank you in advance for your attention into this matter.

We have a small farm of 3 RDS servers and one separate RDCB server using Windows 2012 R2. We have decided not to use the RDCB server to handle to load balancing due to limitations and complexity, but instead work with a 3rd party load balancer(Snapt) that is agentless.

When someone first logs onto an RDS server, session is balanced across the farm appropriately. Things change though when a session becomes disconnected and the user wants to re-logon. At this point the user enters their credentials for the RDS session, the RDP screen goes black and then the logon screen appears again. I believe this is due to the second RDP session hitting a different server, CB realizing an active session exists on a different server, and moving the user to the appropriate server. 

I believe the issue lies in our load balancer and not the connection broker but I wanted to see if I could get some feedback on this as my team and I might be missing something entirely.

Thanks,

Joe

As subject, I'm struggling to establish whether load balancing RDWeb is possible in 2012R2 without using a 3rd party app such as Kemp. I understand that, due to changes in the HTTPS streams, it's not possible with to load balance RDS Gateway using a round-robin, but what about RDWeb?

Thanks in advance...

Hi Everyone,

I'm one of the help desk guys in our company and we're trying to figure out how we can give a standard user to view the process of other users via task manager. We're using Windows Server 2012 R2 Terminal Hosts. Reason why we need this is because we've been getting very high CPU usage from some users in the terminal servers and it slows down everyone. We'd like to grant some members of the help desk team access to view the processes without giving them admin accounts to the server. With this, the team can analyze what process consumes the most CPU. 

Thanks is advance.

We have a customer that uses thin clients and multiple RDS servers for the majority of their users. They use a software application that contains a feature which will open a new email message window from within Outlook to simplify the process of sending an email when needed in their workflow.  When the customer was running Exchange 2010, this feature worked correctly, but after upgrading to Exchange 2013, the new email message window does not open in Outlook when prompted from the other application. Instead, the user is prompted by Outlook to enter their credentials.  Whether the user cancels the prompt or enters their credentials correctly, authentication fails and they are immediately prompted for credentials again, over and over.

We have ruled out anything specific with the third-party application.  We know it works fine with other customers on Exchange 2013 (and other customers using RDS servers) and for the users at our customer site that have full PCs that are not using the RDS servers. Only the RDS users at this customer site face this issue.  We also known the same issue occurs if the RDS users click any "MAILTO" hyperlinks or shortcuts, thus eliminating the third-party application from the equation.

The customer is running 4 RDS servers (WS 2008 R2) and a separate Exchange 2013 mail server within their network.  The users have Personal Desktop VDIs running Windows 7 with Outlook 2010 in "online" mode (it is worth mentioning that the same credential prompt behavior occurs in "cached" mode as well, but the email message windowwill open after credentials are successfully entered). When running a network trace, we see that there are a number of HTTP 401 errors with authentication going to the Exchange server (this occurs if authentication is set to "Basic", "NTLM" or "negotiate").  Again, this was not an issue while on Exchange 2010 and non-RDS users do not have this issue while now on Exchange 2013.

Perhaps the issue is with the user profiles in the RDS environment (registry values for Exchange/Outlook need to be updated somehow)?  Perhaps the RDS sessions cannot communicate properly with Exchange since 2013 switched to using RPC over HTTPS?  Perhaps the RDS user logins are not set properly for the correct mail profile to be identified/assigned/authorized? We are trying to advise the customer where the issue lies, and could use some advice.

Hey Guys

We have a client that has the following setup (all Windows Server 2012 R2 Machines in a virtualized environment, using UPD's)

Rd Broker

TS1, TS2, TS3

The issue we are having is that when <g class="gr_ gr_617 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_run_anim Grammar multiReplace" data-gr-id="617" id="617">a user signs</g> in but once their done doesn't sign out or their session is in a disconnected state, when they log back in and the broker sends them to a different TS, it logs them on with a temporary profile.

Any ideas what could be causing this as there are GPO settings set for restricting them to a single session.

Thanks

RDCMan 2.7 keeps crashing when trying to open a second session. I have this installed on a windows 10 64bit machine with 16Gb of ram and dual quad core cpu. I have read many posts with no luck of resolving my issue. Screen resolution 1920*1080.  Any help would be grateful.  I use this program every day or at least try to now.

Hello,

Lately we have an issue with one of the backup server(Windows 2008 R2) which is not responding when user try to logoff using RDP. When user initiates logoff from RDP it shows message "Please wait for the Remote Desktop Configuration" and does not respond after that and user will not be able to login. Did any of you face same issue before?

Please let me know how to get this fixed.

Thank You,

Naveen.

Remote Desktop programs running slow .....running windows server 2008

Background:
Host has Server with Windows 2008 Standard and VMware Virtual Platform.
RAM:32 Gb, Processor: 4X5670 @2.93gHZ [4 processors]

Task Manager : CPU utilization is minimal to normal.

5 to 10 Clients on Windows desktop and uses RDP using IPSEC VPN to connect to Host and works on Microsoft tool like word, Visio, PowerPoint.

RDP shell version : 6.1.7601

Problems:
All clients are able to connect to the remote server and seems fine when they move their cursor or open weblinks, but when they use RemoteApps, when connected to the remote programs such as Microsoft PowerPoint, Visio 2013, etc..it takes ages for one to edit on the page or even to type a letter.

All the Clients are on their individual systems with 4GB RAM and WAN of 12Mbps to 16Mbps Internet connectivity.

What could be the possible reasons? and where [at client end or host end]?

What is the solution to it?

When I run the commands while logged in I get the results immediately. This is not in a "run as administrator" session. This is a newish 2012 R2 install.

I only have 2 broker servers, and it does the same regardless of the -connectionbroker value (the example here is after making sure that the active broker is this server)

I get the same error when running this from orchestrator as a "run a command" with powershell -file c:\script\blah.ps1
