Hi,

I'm just carrying out some experiments with Remote App (which I've not used before).

Basically it seems to work with at least some of the apps I need to publish, but I have found that non-admin users can still log into the full desktop using the RDP client - I understood it was either remoteapp or full desktop, but my test system seems to allow either.

Have I missed a setting somewhere? I won't want the users to be able to log into the full desktop.

Thanks

p.s. it's Server 2016

We have one user who gets this "RemoteApp Disconnected" very frequently.

I have Windows 10 Pro and Windows 10 Home computers, both fully up to date, nether on a Windows Domain.

Home can connect, with the (old) Windows Desktop RD client, to connect to the Pro.

Home will not connect to the Pro with the Windows Store RD Client.  The error is that the Username or password is not correct.

I've searched and see there are a lot of problems reported with connecting from the Windows Store RD client and tried some of the options suggested. I've also seen that the Windows Store RD client reputedly has better security, so good it can't connect!

So:

1) How can I connect with the Windows Store RD client?

2) Is it worth the effort of persisting with the Windows Store client or is the old desktop client just as good?

Hello!

I need help with the following scenario ... I currently have a Terminal Services server that contains an application, which must be used through a network drive, users access remote desktop media to the server and use the shortcuts of the applications that point to the shared unit, for example, the X :

Now it is required to do the same but through RemoteApps, but when trying to add the path of the applications, from the network unit, I do not or can not, from C: if it does it without problems, but I need to add it to point to the network unit ... how could I do this?

Thank you

Hi!

I am testing RDS 2019 with RemoteApp, and I have problems with startup splash screens. Each splash screen creates a button on the client’s taskbar and does not disappear from desktop and taskbar after the appearance of the main window. For example, I run three RemoteApp and I have three splash screens and three program windows on my desktop. And even if I close these windows, the splash screens will still remain on desktop and cannot be closed. This happens only in RemoteApp and does not occur with a remote desktop mode. I tried to recreate an RDS farm again, but it does not help.

This does not happen with all programs (having splash screen), but with many. At the same time, there were no such problems at RDS 2012R2/2016. 

As RDCB and RDSH used Windows Server 2019 with latest cumulative update (2019-01). As clients used Windows 10 1709/1809 with same update.

Hi 

We are attempting to run a background application that has no system tray icon via remoteapp, however, because its non-interactive and has no system-tray icon, the RDS connection disconnects after 20 seconds (as per: https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/2345390/remoteapp-sessions-are-disconnected-when-all-remoteapp-windows-and-use)

Several other applications are deployed by RemoteApp, and as long as the user keeps one of them running, it does not disconnect. However, there are points in the day when this is the only one running, and as such the session disconnects.

Is anyone aware of away around this. I can't find away to increase the disconnection time from 20 seconds, only the logoff time.

Thanks

Hello,

I have allot of apps that installed on a network share. So there is a front end installed on the server but the executable sits on network. It does not appear as an installed app in the window of publishing apps. The reason for this is so any settings modified as part of this software must be installed as a network server so that all users get the settings.

Thanks in advance

I'm having an issue on a single RDS 2016 server at the moment where the start menu doesn't open.  

I've gone though lots of steps including sfc /scannow  (No errors)   DISM with all the options (No Errors)

I've cleared the Registry in firewall policy\restricted services\configurable\system.

I believe the issue is that I don't have any applications registered in the get-appxpackage at all, it just comes back blanks where as on working machines I get a list of about 15.

I've tried to install the packages by hand using variations of 

Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register C:\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.Windows.Cortana_cw5n1h2txyewy\AppxManifest.xml -Verbose 

This returns the following;

Add-AppxPackage : Deployment failed with HRESULT: 0x80073CF6, Package could not be registered.

I can't seem to get the system to re-register those applications!

This happens on all users including local admin and new accounts.  Happens in Safe and Clean Boot.

Thanks.

Hi Guys:

I am stuck in a very strange problem and wonder if someone can help ASAP. It turs out to be a challenge as I have tried everything by the book but no luck.

I have remote desktop deployed with Hyper-V VM1 as RD Connection Broker which is also RD licensing server,Hyper-V VM2 as RD Session Host, Hyper-V VM3 RD Web Access which is also RD Gateway and DirectAccess server ---All running windows server 2012 R2 datacentre 

I have setup an A record corp.publicdomain.co.uk on public domain pointing to our public static internet address and have forwarded ports TCP 443 & UDP 3391 to VM3 (RD Web Access & RD Gateway).

The certificate is issued from our internal Enterprise sub-ordinate CA to *.internaldomain.com & corp.publicdomain.co.uk in CNAME and DNS. This certificates is also installed into Trusted Root authority Store of remote clients and they trust the remote desktop servers.

I have windows 10 Enterprise installed on remote clients which are domain joined and connected to our network with DirecAccess. We only use direct access to apply group policies. Through GP they are set to use our public domain corp.publicdomain.co.uk as RD Gateway, delegate default credentials TERMSRV*.internaldomain.com to ensure SSO and have a setup default RemoteApp connection through public address of RD Web Access. Clients run remote apps by going to Work Resources folder on the start menu and client on published apps icon.

Internally this works fine and also worked fine for remote clients until two days ago when suddenly they encountered a dialogue box:

Windows Security

Enter your credentials

Typer your username and passoword to connect to <FQDN of VM1> which is remote connection broker

and in red The logon attempt failed. Wont login even the credentials are entered again. 

As work around, I have now arranged to connect them through VPN and running apps from RD Web access page from local FQDN/rdweb of RD Web Access server.

I tried to connect from outside from windows 10 home, windows 10 pro and windows 7 and could connect through RD Gateway without any problem. So this pretty much narrows it down to windows 10 Enterprise (64-bit if this matters :))

Many Thanks

Good afternoon all;

I have an issue and not sure how to complete this.

2012 R2 for all servers
2 connection brokers in HA, 1 license server, 1 web access server, and 5 session hosts

There are 2 session collections on there. One of them is very old and was setup by someone else. this one works fine and when people click on the RDP full desktop icon ( Not a published Remote Desktop MSTSC Remoteapp). They get all settings prefilled correctly, RDP to the connection Broker farm name, with the RD gateway...it all works.

Put in a new session collection to 2 new session hosts that were put up for this purpose.

Everything works EXCEPT the prefilling of RDP settings, as of right now they come in blank.
How do I get this to be prefilled like the old session collection?

Every time I try to modify the deployment using

Set-RDsessionCollectionConfiguration -CollectionName XXXXX -CustomRdpProperty "full address:s:broker.example.com gatewayhostname:s:rdp.example.com" -ConnectionBroker ZZZZZZ

Whenever I try to apply this it looks like its going to apply but gives
You cannot call a method on a null-valued expression 
"At line:1 char:1"

Can anyone help me get through this? or some other way to apply those settings? I was poking at this for hours today and can't find a reason why this is not applying.

I even tried copying the custom RDP session deployment configuration reg keys for the old one into the new session but that didn't work.

Hello,

I wonder what protocol does the client requests when launching the RemoteApp.  We choose to Negotiate option for the collection and client compatible on security.

On the network traffic, we are only allowing TLS1.2. sometimes when a client launches the Remote app and they facing spinning issues " configuring remote session" and spins forever. Sometimes it will connect just fine. Wondering it could be because of the communication issue between client and RDS server.

Please help me how can I see whether it is a communication issue or not?

Hi,

I have Active directory domain with more than 200 windows server 2008 r2 and 400 windows 7 consoles joined to it.

I have made some changes in remote desktop security settings via group policy suggested by the security auditor.

The changes are:

1. Set client connection encryption level- High

2. Require use of specific security layer for remote (RDP) connections- SSL (TLS 1.0)

My all the Servers/Workstations are working fine after applying these settings, but in 1 Server i am getting this error "The connection can not proceed because authentication is not enabled and remote desktop requires that authentication to be enabled" when the policy is applied.

This particular server is Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 VM Guest machine hosted in VMWare 6.0.0 Host. I have 50 more servers with same configuration as problematic one.

Can anyone help me resolve the issue, why the error is coming in that specific server and not in all other 199 servers.

I tried some troubleshooting steps suggested for the particular error:

1. Open regedit.msc and change "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\ Terminal Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp "set“SecurityLayer” to a zero.

2. I joined the server again to domain to refresh the configuration.

But nothing worked.

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?

Hello,

Sometimes when connecting to the RemoteApps from RDWeb site connection is freezing and had to manually kill the connecting screen. If I relaunch the application it would work.  The below screen keeps spinning.

Please suggest me how can I fix this issue

Hi Tech gurus,

I have a Windows 2008 R2 server with RDS Licensing installed. But I have installed TS CALs for 2 user (it's per user), it got installed successfully and showing in the Licenses manager console. No problem at all everything is working fine but when i pull the reports to check the TS Licenses usage, it is showing me some different stuff see below:

Can anybody please help me to get the proper and real time report of CALs usage? Am i doing anything wrong?

Hi ,

We are looking for a solution to reset AD user password via web browser.

Using the below link we hope this can be configure successfully.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9R9Sl6pJys

Also we need to know " Is their any licensing involved to enable this service"/ Is this a recommended method to do the task (AD user password reset throug web browser).

Dear readers I have the following issue when a user wants to reset their password via the RDWeb password reset.aspx

"Your password cannot be changed. Please contact your administrator for assistance." 

What I have done so far : 

- Went into the IIS Manager and set the "PasswordChangeEnabled" to true.
- Reset the IIS Manager via CMD.
- Activated the logging (which doesn't work by the way).
- Rebooted the host & client to be sure.

Does anyone else have this problem aswell or does someone know the solution to said problem?

Hope to hear from someone.

Kind regards,

Sander ten Voorden

I've set up a HA Connection Broker cluster, and in order to get the web gateway working again, I need to set up a new RAP policy that specifies the RD Broker RR Address, but every time I try, when I click 'Add' in 'User Groups' (And anywhere else in the MMC, it seems), the MMC crashes with the following output:

As far as I can tell from searching, it seems to be .NET that's crashing, but I haven't found any solutions.All three servers (Web Gateway and both Connection Brokers) are fully patched.

has anyone else sen this and/or have any ideas how to either fix it or maybe some kind of workaround?
