Changing the licensing mode
one of my colleagues made the installation oft he RD Licenseserver with phone registration but in ours case we had to use normal mode. So we can enter the amount of licenses manually.<o:p></o:p>
We have to do that because we had a campus aggreement. <o:p></o:p>
Is that possible and without interruption of user connections ?<o:p></o:p>

Users are displayed in RD Gateway Manager But not in Session Collections
I am having an issue with my RD Gateway deployement where the only users shown connected through the Gateway server in collections are admin users connected directly to the gateway server. Users connecting externally to their workstations are not show under
session collections but are shown as being connected in the RD Gateway Manager. There is some functionality in the session collections manager that I would like to use. Is there a solution for this and/or am I doing something wrong? I will note that we are
running a single Windows Server 2016 installation with a single session collection. Thanks in advance.

Software restriction policy bug in Windows 2016
I have the following software restriction policy
- Security level : "disallowed"
- Exceptions:
%HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ProgramFilesDir (x86)%
%HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ProgramFilesDir%
%programFiles%
%programFiles(x86)%
So far so good for ; users can launch all installed programs and nothing else. (I don't remember why I had to add (%programFiles% and %programFiles(x86)% though. The first two were there by default).
Now, testing the same policy on W2016, there's a problem when clicking a link in Thunderbird. That should launch the default browser (Say, IE or Firefox), but the program is denied (a seen in Event Viewer).
One additional weird thing is that Thunderbird says "this file does not have a program associated...". It's not the the usual popup "Your system administrator has blocked this program..." and I was misled in a Thunderbird issue. Which is not.
I had to add the real paths as exceptions "c:\program files (x86)" and "c:\program files" as workaround.

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?

Give normal user access to take over users on Remote Desktop Server via a Remote Desktop Server Gateway
Hi all
I have a question regarding a Remote Desktop Server Gateway. We want a user to be able to take over sessions from other users that are connected to the Remote Desktop Server in order to support. But we would like to only give him rights to do that. Is this possible?
I added the user to be able to access the RDSGW via mstsc. When he goes to Servermanager he doesn't have rights to see the collections or take over user sessions.
If this is possible how would I need to go about it?
thanks in advance for any help! It is greatly appreciated!

RD Session is dropped out after several seconds of being idle
Hi guys,
Faced with this issue.
There an RD Gateway (Windows Server 2016 Datacenter) and RDS (Windows Server 2016 Standard) servers in Azure.
Some users when connect to the RDS server from home get disconnected if remote session is left idle for even several seconds.
I have another RDS server that is deployed without RD Gateway server involvement and if the same users from the same location connected to the other server they don't get disconnected.
With that being said I narrowed down the potential issue around RD Gateway server but can't figure out what exactly should be checked to rectify the issue.
I tried to add DWORD key RDGClientTrasport” with a value of 1 under "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Terminal Server Client" but, unfortunately, that didn't work.
Is there anything else that should be checked?
Please advise.
Regards

Cannot RDP to specific host in specific subnet
Hi, I posted this on another forum and was directed here so here goes:
This issue is ripping me a new one so I'd really appreciate any help...
Layout:
desk and test are on subnet 1
frank is on subnet 2
vpn is on its own subnet but is passed subnet 1 in the vpn config (handled by router)
all are windows 10
there is full routing between subnets (pass all traffic)
ping works to all hosts, telnet over 3389 works to all hosts, TightVNC works, just rdp is acting up
window firewall is completely off on frank, desk, and test
test is a completely fresh install of windows with all updates
there is no windows domain or anything and all computers are in "WORKGROUP"
rdp testing table:
_from_ -> _to_ _result_
desk -> test yes
desk -> frank no "the logon attempt failed"
frank -> test yes
frank -> desk yes
test -> desk yes
test -> frank no "connects and show lockscreen but says 'username or passowrd is incorrect try again'"
vpn -> desk yes
vpn -> frank yes
vpn -> test yes
keep in mind telnet 3389 works even when rdp doesn't
for some reason frank is the only one that others cannot connect TO (it can connect to others) and for some reason vpn clients are able to connect to frank.
Troubleshooting:
On frank when I attempt to connect from desk/test I sometimes get the following error in frank's event log:
A CredSSP authentication to TERMSRV/<desk/test ip> failed to negotiate a common protocol version. The remote host offered version 4 which is not permitted by Encryption Oracle Remediation.
Microsoft recommends this page:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4093492/credssp-updates-for-cve-2018-0886-march-13-2018
Based on the above, tried setting to "vulnerable" or whatever, no good.
So I update all windows machines to the latest build so now all rdp clients are version 10.0.17134 and it doesn't help at all except now when test fails to connect to frank it has the same message as desk, that is "the logon attempt failed" and no
longers shows the logon screen as it did previously.
I also tried creating a new account "test" on frank but that got the same error.
IF i connect frank to subnet 1 everything works fine so I think it is simply something to do with that host being on a differnet subnet. Is there anything I can set to allow rdp even though it is in another subnet. How can I rdp to frank and have it remain
in subnet 2? please help!

changeing password issue
We have a server 2008 R2 Domain with 2 DC's.
we have now problem that some of the users are not able to change thier password from RDweb change password pagehttps://remote.mydomain.com/RDWeb/Pages/nl-NL/password.aspx or when they login to an RDP session to one of our server 2012 R2 RDS servers. I cannot try to change the problematic users password from inside the domain coz these users are external.
users get the error that the username is not exist or the password is not correct!! but this is not the case!!
The strange thing is that I cannot find the event 4723 or 4724 for these users on any of the 2 DC's. I can see these event for other users
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Windows 2012 RDS - A website is trying to run a RemoteApp program. Make sure that you trust the publisher before you connect to run the program.
This is an interesting one which doesn't seem to have much in the way of documentation for Windows 2012 yet.
When clicking on a RemotApp program on RDWeb the following message appears:
All of the correct SSL certificates are installed under Server Manager > Collections > Deployment Propertiesthey're all assigned in there and they are all correct. I have also set a Certificate in RDS Gateway Properties.
I've also tried selecting Private as the logon option on RDWeb but again this still makes the box above appear.
On earlier versions of RDS you could specify Digital Signing for remote apps but this option doesn't seem to exist on Server 2012. Does anyone have any ideas?

Remote desktop 2012 R2 servers hangs in login periodically after applying Update KB4088876
Hi Forum
The last days we are experiences some issues on Server 2012 R2 with rds
The server stops responding on logon (Welkome screen), I get the following events in the event log:
A timeout (120000 milliseconds) was reached while waiting for a transaction response from the following services:
iphlpsvc
ShellHWDetection
NlaSvc
Appinfo
Schedule
It Seems that the issue are appearing after we installed KB4088876
I have seen the issue on two servers until now, one on hyper-V host og one on VMware
Does everybody experience the same issue ?
The only solution is to reset the server (Virtuel)
Thanks in advance

RDS Server User Desktop Icon Display issues
Hello Guys
We are in the end phase of publishing our new 2016 RDS Server. Now its the last 5% (Fixing Appearence Issues).
And the main problem right now is this:
Either the text vanishes/cuts off or it changes its color/loses the shadow/frame.
When i refresh it gets back to normal (Google Chrome is the expected, ThinLinc and VNC Viewer is what i get).
When i hover over the icon it reverts back and this is just ugly.
Im not really sure what the issue could be so i searched for a bit but couldn't find anything regarding this issue. I also did a sfc /scannow to check if any of the files that are responsible for this might be corrupt or something but to no vail.
This is the 2nd server we setup that has the same issue.
I appreaciate every bit of help.
Kind regards

W2016 - Redirected USB printers not working - Win32 error code returned by the print processor: 50. The request is not supported.
Printing to redirected printers (local USB printers) is not working anymore. (It's OK with W2008 R2).
RDP client being W7 (or Wyse ThinOS)
I tried with two different printers : Dymo Labelwriter 450 and Ricoh Aficio SP 4310N PS (and PCl5e).
- The driver is well present on the host side (the redirection occurs well).
- Easy Print disabled (GPO)
When trying to print, the popup message is "Error printing to ....", Then subsequent tries result in popups "Printer is in error state"
The Printservice log says at the end on the error entry "...Win32 error code returned by the print processor: 50. The request is not supported."
When the RDP client is another W2016 RDSH, then printing to a redirected printer (network printer in that case) works well.

RDS Device CAL not being issued after transferring to new server
Hi all,
I'm trying to transfer my RDS Device CAL from one server to another. Both are running Windows Server 2016 Standard, and are using aworkgroup (not a domain). The Device CAL was working perfectly on the old server.
I have gone through the steps to transfer the the CAL from the old server to the new one. It seemed to work fine: the new license appears in the RD Licensing Manager window on the new server, and has disappeared from the old server. However, the new license is not being issued.
I've changed the following settings at gpedit.msc \ Computer Configuration\ Administrative Templates\ Windows Components\ Remote Desktop Services\ Remote Desktop Session Host \ Licensing:
- Use the specific Remote Desktop License servers: Enabled, License servers to use = my server name
- Set the Remote Desktop licensing mode: Enabled, Per device
Still no luck.
Two potential clues to a diagnosis: (1) in the RD Licensing Manager, there is no mention of Temporary RDS CALs, which do appear on my old server. (2) I'm still in the 120-day grace period
(I can't post screenshots as my account is not "verified").
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

RemoteAPP after windows 10 update 1803 are slow and right mouse button is not responding (it reacts only sometimes)
Hi,
our workstations with Windows 10 pro are in this weekend updated to version 1803. For main system we use RemoteAPP aplications on Windows server 2012R2 (Windows server 2012R2 is full updated). After update on client station are RemoteAPP slower, and right mouse button is unresponsive, or react verly long time...
It is a big problem for us.
PS: after replace mstsc.exe and mstscax.dll from older version Windows 10 is all OK. but this is not a solution.
Thanks.

Redirected printers not showing in Devices and Printer Windows Server 2012 R2
I have one Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard version running on a small network without AD/Domain. When I try to make a RDP connection using mstsc (Windows 10), I am not able to see my printers. I've created a new instance of Windows Server 2012 R2, and everything
seems to be working fine, what makes me believe that the problem is with the server, not with the client.
I am not very familiar with Windows Server 2012, but I've compared all the running services on both servers and they are almost the same. I've also checked the configuration from Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Terminal Services\Terminal Server\Printer Redirection and both are the same, with everything on default mode/not configured.
Any thoughts or suggestions about how to either get the redirected printers showing up, or configure them for persistent defaults would be greatly appreciated.

Having to restart RDS Service each morning
Hey,
We are running Server2012 Standard, with all patches installed.
Each morning I need to restart the RDS Service as users get a 'Cannot connect to the remote computer as an error occured' message
There's nothing in any event logs, and once i restart the service it it's fine for the whole day... Until the next day, when it happens all over again
Has anyone dealt with this before?
Thanks For your help!

Couldn't be able to redirect the both Web servers from a VIP created in F5.
Hello All,
We have two web servers in our deployment ( 2016 RDS Web) configuration. Initially i was able to access internally using https://Webserver1.domain.com/rdweb. and https://webserver2.domain.com/rdweb. But when i had a pool in F5 ( with the both web servers as pool members) and redirecting the route should go to either of the Web servers RD web portal but It's not happening.
Please Suggest.

Detect when Client Printer Redirection completes? Error 3012 No printers were found
We've implemented some automatic printer connections to a Windows network print server (via AddPrinterConnection Windows API) into our RemoteApp application immediately after it launches, not unlike a login script. In other words, when users launch the RemoteApp, it automatically connects their various \\ps1\printer1, \\ps1\printer2 priners based on who they are and only if they are missing.
What I've discovered is that sometimes AddPrinterConnection fails with error 3012 (0xbc4) No printers were found. After some playing around, I'm convinced that this is a collision between my calls to AddPrinterConnection and the automatic client printer redirection that occurs when a user connects to a RDHS, which happens in parallel with the launch of the RemoteApp application (this can be witnessed by quickly opening the Devices and printers control panel applet). If I introduce a delay, there are no more 3012 errors, thus confirming my suspicions. As some users have many printers and some have none or few, and some printers take much longer than others to redirect, a fixed delay would have to be large to accommodate all scenarios.
How can I detect when the automatic client printer redirection (which is necessary and cannot simply be disabled) completes? It occurs to me that I could look for DrvInst.exe processes, and wait until there are none before I attempt my own AddPrinterConnection calls, but this seems sloppy. For starters, one user could be delayed by the DrvInst.exe processes of another user, since they are owned by SYSTEM and I cannot tell which user's printers are being redirected. I've also noticed that userinit.exe starts upon launching a RemoteApp and eventually terminates, though it does not re-launch when reconnecting to a disconnected RemoteApp session even though client redirected printers indeed reconnect, so it does not seem likely that userinit.exe is directly responsible for them.
Curious if there is a slick way to avoid the collision, or if perhaps the 3012 error can be avoided entirely through another approach.
Thanks in advance!
