Hi Experts!
quick question, Is it possible to have a USB redirection in VDI Publish Apps ? In pooled we have simply access the usb but on our publish apps we're not able too. As you can see on the RD web page the drive L2 folder is created for USB redirection for publish user who they have access. And on the RWMVDPOOL desktop icon this is for pooled user which we're able to see the USB removable devices. Is there a step how to resolve on usb redirection for publish user in VDI.?

Hi Experts!
Can someone help me on how to replicate the old user profile disk of windows7 pooled to newly created win10 pooled in VDI ? We have some difficulties on we can use the old UPD of the user. i have some research telling that A user profile disk are for single collection only it means you will not able to use the old one but the best practices is to create a new folder for UPD which is seperate from win7 pooled collection.
Considerations when implementing User Profile Disks
Thanks

Good day,
I need assistance with my Server 2019 STD. I would like User to connect from any Computer to my Server 2019 using RDS, logging in from the computer and using programs, and I need to know what rolls I need to install and all the services I need to make this work. I do not want to use Per user Device Cal's.
I was reading if I use per device cals then it is locked to that Hardware device and the User can only use that device to log into the server.
Can someone please share some knowledge in how I am going to do this?
Thank you in Advance
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.
Dear All,
Somebody has experience with problems connecting to Server 2016 RDS server for Apple Devices,
Working perfectly for any other client
But when a Apple device wants to connect through HTML5 secure connection i get a disconnection log ,
Error message
The server security layer detected an error (0x80004005) in the protocol stream and the client,
I unchecked the remote desktop setting for NLA usage in the security settings of the session collection but it doesnt make a difference, also I pushed a gpo for this setting enforced,
Security level is negotiate and encryption level Client compatible,
The disconnect reason is 14
I see its building up the connection , it did accept the connection , connection id created ,PrepareforAccept ,SendPolicyData,Perfcounter session started with instance id, and then it gets this security layer error message (0x80004005)
Hi,
I'm experiencing problems with my RDS setup for a week now. All servers run Windows Server 2016 standard. The setup is as followes;
23x session host server
1x RD session broker
1x RD licensing
1x RD web access
I've created a DNS forward lookup zone for RDS.MYDOMAIN.COM and added A-records for all the session hosts. Clients connect to this address. There a 5 more collections active on the broker. These collections contain a few session hosts each. No problems here.
The servers ran smoothly for the last year now. Sinds last week suddenly all session are redirected to one random session host about every morning.
All session hosts are rebooted every night and after that the broker gets a reboot. When the problem occurs, a reboot fixes it for some time. But the issue comes back. Session host 22 and 23 were added to the collection 3 days before the problems started
to occur.
Any help is more than welcome!
I am continuously getting event id: 4005 on RDS server.
Server OS: Microsoft Windows Server 2016 Standard Version 1607 Build 14393.3443.
The Winlogon process terminates unexpectedly and prevents new logins from processing. However, the only way to get login process work after the power cycle the server.
Webroot antivirus agent 9.26.61 is installed on the server.
The following events are usually logged when this issue occurs:
Event Logs : Microsoft-Windows-TerminalServices-LocalSessionManager/Operational
Event Source: Microsoft-Windows-TerminalServices-LocalSessionManager
ID: 36
Description: An error occurred when transitioning from CsrConnected in response to EvCsrInitialized. (ErrorCode 0x80004005)
Event Logs: Application

Description: The Windows logon process has unexpectedly terminated.
Doing some googling on this over the past day or two shows that this is an issue with other versions of Windows Server (2012 r2 for instance), and that the issue is caused by specific Windows Updates....
Only thing is...these updates don't exist in 2016 from what I can tell. In fact, I'm led to believe this is an outstanding issue with Server 2016.
I got January 14, 2020—KB4534271 (OS Build 14393.3443) installed.
I have configured my Windows Server 2019 to start a program on remote connection.
This works fine, but our customers do not like the pitchblack background of the remotesession.
Is there a possibility to change this background to another color?
I know this issue was already discussed in this question but no Answer was provided.
Hello,I am having problems to diagnose is poor application performance—the applications are running very slow. After following this link: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/remote/remote-desktop-services/rds-rdsh-performance-counters#download-windows-server-insider-software.
Could not find an option to enable this.
How would I enable User Input Delay per Process or User Input Delay per Session on windows 2016 server?
Or this there anything similar that i could use if this is not compatible with windows 2016
Thanks
Hello All,
We have big issues with our customer.
The environment is an rds 2016 farm with 1 broker and a gateway and 20 rds windows server 2016 and a remote server for remore login.
For our production collection we encounter serieus issues since the 8th of January 2020.
The thing is we have 20 rds windows server 2016 servers with 6 core per socket and 1 virtual socket 24 gb ram.
The broker normally devides the sessions per server but for some kind of reason we see that on the broker 1 user is logged into a server.
However when i log in on the server directly there are 30 users logged and then then server become unstable.
Every morning this is happening now and it is not every time the same server.
we set the server with too many connections to false and then restart the broker and then try to log of the users and dismount there profile disk so they can log in on a different server.
What we also see is the proces termsvc is 98%!!
Does someone know what is causing this issue we did not do any changes to the server and it worked always perfectly.
We have approximately 328 users devided over 21 rds server ( this is included the remote server.
Hi everybody,
I'm asking to this forum because I'm not finding anything... (or probably I'm not able to).
As you know, the limit od rdp simultaneously connections in windows server 2012 is limited to 2.
Now I need to limit it only to one (like a windows 10 client for example).
There is a solution that avoid to install the terminal services?
thanks in advance!
We are migrating our Session Host to a new domain. But in the new domain users obviously gets a new username and SID.
Are there any way we can connect the old User Profile Disk to the new user?
Thank you.
As announced on Ignite 2019 Azure MFA will be free for office 365 as well as for AAD administrators.
I have a setup with RDS 2019 and Azure MFA. Everything works fine and every user is licensed with an Azure AD Premium-license. The only reason that license is assigned is because we wanted to use Azure MFA for increased security on the RD Gateway.
Is it safe to say that I can remove these licenses now and still use Azure MFA, for free?
for reference: https://docs.microsoft.com/sv-se/azure/active-directory/authentication/concept-mfa-licensing
Thank you in advance,
Robert

After installed RDS CAL per device for Windows 2019, I get the following message
Number of license available: 0
The Remote Desktop Session Host server is in Per Device licensing mode and No Redirector Mode, but license server ig8906.com does not have any installed licenses with the following attributes:
Product version: Windows Server 2016
Licensing mode: Per Device
License type: RDS CALs or VDI Premium Suite licenses
Can someone advise if i need purchase RDS CAL 2016 license for my 2016 server? or changing configuration can fix this issue?
Thanks
I have 3 terminal hosts that is part of the collection.
I have added the windows search feature and then made sure to enable the service and turn to start automatically. But when I go to the indexing icon in control panel it does not show the local disk drive.
I found this article: https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/29142044/Windows-Search-not-working-when-Remote-Desktop-Session-Host-is-installed-on-Server-2019.html
It was June from last year, basically it's and issue and there is no workaround.
Wondering if anyone else had this issue and was able to fix it.
Hi,
I've been asked to setup a server running Windows Server 2016 Essentials to replace a rickity old server. I need to get this right and have sort of gone around in circles on Youtube and searching the Internet.
Essentials comes with 25 user CAL and 50 device CALs. We're planning on deploying a single server that will have a local domain controller (on the server).
There are about 100 people who will log into the server for about 10 - 20mins/day (maybe even 20mins/week).
Do I need a user CAL for each user in the AD that wants to connect to the server or does the CAL simply limit the number of concurrent users (people using the server at the same time), and do I need a separate RDS CAL for each user.
This server will need to communicate with a number of other back end servers through SMB, SQL and RDS. Is this where the device license comes in? because I want multiple users on this server to communicate with another device.
Appreciate I should get this, but its very different building a real world application and something you throw together in a virtual lab.
Thanks
Hi,
I'm running Server 2019. I set up all of my users & part of the config I need to use is to open a specific program when they logon. I did add the starting program in the user properties and checked the box "Start the following program at logon", but when I test the user, it opens to a desktop instead of running the program.
Does anyone know how I can enable this function so it works on a per user basis?
Thanks!
In my environment I have an on-premise Remote Desktop Gateway that is configured to use Azure for MFA. The configuration for this follows the steps outlined in the following article: Integrate your Remote Desktop Gateway infrastructure using the Network Policy Server (NPS) extension and Azure AD
The issue I experience appears to be limited to the following scenario.
I use Remote Desktop Connection Manager that is configured to use the RDG. I connect to a Windows server and successfully negotiate the second factor of authentication. So far so good. The problem is when performing a Log Off or Disconnect from a Windows server, the Remote Desktop Connection Manager consistently freezes and is unresponsive for approximately 30 seconds.
This problem does not appear to affect RDP sessions which use the Remote Desktop Client (therefore still using the RDG) although the experience isn't necessarily the same.
My environment consists of the following 2 servers:
The version of Remote desktop Connection Manager is "RDCMan v2.7 build 1406.0" and I am connecting from a Windows 10 Device with Build 1803.
UPDATE 1:
On the Windows 10 (1803) device, when the RDCM becomes responsive again, the following errors are logged in the Remote Desktop Services eventlog...
Level Date and Time Source Event ID Task Category Error 10/01/2020 16:16:18 Microsoft-Windows-TerminalServices-ClientActiveXCore 1033 General Component name:CheckInternetConnectionTask, :: 'Connection-to-server is alive.

UPDATE 2:
I have now reproduced the issue when connecting from a Windows 10 Build 1909 device.
Any help appreciated. Thanks
Recently we've had a vendor update one of their applications. With this application there are 10 fonts that need to be installed (are not being installed when the application is installed). The result of this is incorrect forms being created or documents with nasty symbols all over the place.
I'm posting this here in the RDS forums since these are the servers where I first noticed the issue. Attempting to open\install them on other 2016 servers has been hit or miss.
Occasionally when I first log into one of the Session Hosts I am able to open the first font. Subsequent attempts to open the font result in an "invalid font" error. I get the error that the format or font is invalid when I try to open it, right-click and install it, or drop it into the Fonts folder directly.
I know the fonts are fine since I can open them on a Windows 10 machine, and most Server 2016 machines. In the few cases where I can't open it on the other servers I'm still able to install them.
I expect this to be a pretty niche issue, but I would love some feedback or ideas on troubleshooting. There is nothing in the event logs nor do I have any idea about how to track a failed font installation. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
