Hi all. My predecessor built an RDS farm before his position was eliminated and now I'm needing to get something working within the farm and am having difficulty with it. I think it's a simple thing that I'm just overlooking.
We have 3 servers that make up the farm - 1 connection broker and 2 session hosts all of which are running Server 2008 R2 and are up to date on all patches, service packs, etc. They're all pretty much identical, even down to the hardware.
The issue has to do with using RemoteApps. We have a few setup in the farm which we've made accessible via links in the user's Juniper SSL VPN session. A user would log into the SSL VPN web page and have a list of links right there on their start page. Links to these RemoteApps show up there as well.
The issue is that when I click on one of the links I eventually get an error message stating "The connection cannot proceed because authentication is not enabled and the remote computer requires that authentication be enabled to connect." What happens next is the Remote Desktop login window appears, the same one that appears if I just fire up Remote Desktop Connection and connect to a server, where I can enter my network credentials. What it shows is the computer name\my network username. That's why I believe I'm getting this authentication is not enabled error message. It should be trying to log me into the domain, not the local server. What I can't figure out is how to fix that - how to make it so it'll attempt to log me into the domain versus the local server.
I've checked everywhere and it appears everything is setup correctly - the Domain Users group is in the Remote Desktop Users group on each server in the farm, the connection broker has all the servers in the farm in the Session Broker Computers group, the TS Web Access Computers and Access Administrators groups have what should be those groups, etc.
I'm out of ideas and can't find the answer via Google because I can't find a case where someone is using RemoteApps like I'm trying to use it. Can any of you help?
