Windows 2008 R2 SP1 RDS -> Blank Screen on every 2nd login?

Hello,

I'm expiring a weird problem. 

I'm trying to logon with a normal user on our Terminalserver. I can type username + password but after "preparing your desktop" the screen turns black. Having a look at the taskmanager (with the administrator) i can see, that there is no explorer.exe active for that user.

Thank i close my user-mstsc.exe session and reconnect - than everything works fine :(

(Than i logoff and on again: black screen, logoff and logon again: everythings fine...... )

Any hint what could cause this issue?

I've tried a loot of thing (disabling the user feedback on errors, disabling bitmap caching on client, stopping AV-scanner, installed the latest Updates etc...). 

Thanks a lot,

Florian

Minimum server setup and licenses for about 5 RDC sessions

We run QuickBooks, who's only usable remote access facility is RDC or Cytrix. Right now we are running SBS'11 and already have problems with people logging in and kicking others off.

MS's licensing hotline suggested that Foundation would be the way to solve this, but various posts here suggest that Foundation and Essentials also have two session limits.

Is this correct?

If so, what is the minimum setup that would get me, say five sessions? I have a minimal budget to fix this problem

RDS Licensing per User CAL

September 20, 2013, 3:23 am

Hello,

I was wondering if someone could explain how the RDS licensing works in Per User mode. I am a little confused as to how to determine whether we are reaching our installed CAL limit or not. As I understand it RDS User CALS are not assigned per user, an unlimited number of users can connect, whereas a device CAL is assigned per device. If this is the case, then how can I tally up how many RDS User connections we have and compare against the CALS installed. Currently our license server shows the following, I have inherited this system from an outsourced provider setup so Ii don’t really know exactly what they have done. This information is displayed under the RDS licensing server manager in 2008 R2

License Version and Type                                                           License Program                             Total Licenses

Windows 2000 Server - Built-in TS Per Device CALS                      Built-in                unlimited

Windows Server 2008 or Windows 2008 R2 RDS Per User              Open                                    5

Windows Server 2008 or Windows 2008 R2 RDS Per User              Open                                    46

There is another column to the right of these which indicate how many have been issued, there is no figures in this column for any of those license types shown. I am assuming that the built-in line is for the two admins which can connect from an unlimited number of devices. If I run a report and cover the entire domains and trusted forests it comes back with a CSV file which only contains half a dozen user names in it, despite the installed quantity showing 51, it shows that I have 13 available – how can I find out where the other 38 have been assigned and how can I tell if they are being used or not?

Many thanks

Can not authenticate user from child domain on gateway server

Hi,

I try to authenticate users from a sub domain on our gateway server as described in this article as situation b: http://blogs.technet.com/b/networking/archive/2010/01/14/remote-desktop-gateway-client-fails-authentication-with-your-user-account-is-not-authorized-to-access-the-rd-gateway.aspx

I already have added the gateways server to the RAS and IAS Servers group in the child domain and did a reboot. But without effect: the users can't login of the use the gateways server. Direct RDP connection to the farm works fine.

I only get the 201 error in the gateway log as described in the article above. On the other hand I get an information in the system log from NPS, that a LDAP connection to the DC of the child domain as ben established.

There is no firewall and the trust is bidirectional and transitive.

Any idea what my problem could be?

Kind regards,
Dennis

When login in onto my webinterface of the RDP Gatewayserver (Windows 2008R2), I cannot see the icons of the published applications.
This problem occurs only on IE10 in normal mode. When using the compatibility mode then the icons show up.

I prefer not to use the 'compatibility mode'.

RDP session - No youtube video?

Hi,

I'm having issues watching youtube videos when connected to our Windows Server 2008 R2 Terminal Server trough RDP.
When I'm opening Internet Explorer and browse to youtube.com, I can play a video for about 2 seconds, then Youtube gives a message stating something went wrong, the video won't play further.

I have tried to do the same with i.e. Google Chrome, with that browser Youtube videos play just fine.

Has anyone experienced the same issue, and more important, did anyone manage to solve it?

Thank you very much for any answers and help.

Regards,

"The remote session was disconnected because there were network problems during the licensing protocol" after enabling RemoteFX Windows 8 VM

I receive the error anytime I try to connect (from Windows 7 physical client machines running the recent RDP 8 "update") to the Windows 8 VM (w/RemoteFx enabled) running on Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V Server. The GPU on the server is DirectX 11 capable. At one point this was working, however, just recently this stopped working (not sure if any Windows Server 2012 updates did this or the RDP 8 "update" for Windows 7/2008 R2).

If I connect to the Windows 8 VM (with RemoteFx enabled) from the Hyper-V manager, the connection works (no licensing protocol errors)

However, if I remove the RemoteFx from the Windows 8 VM, all RDP 8 clients connect fine.

I've checked all the event logs (noticed no errors) and the Remote Desktop Virtualization Host Agent is running. I've checked the RD Licensing Diagnoser and no errors reported.

Load Balancing/HA of RDS license servers

September 9, 2013, 2:00 pm

We are building a large Citrix farm and want to be sure RDS licenses are always available.

I've read thru all the forums and not found exactly what I'm looking for, along with finding some bad info.  So I'd like to confirm a few thoughts and check some details.

The language about RDS licensing servers being available is a bit confusing.  It says if a user who has previously been licensed tries to connect while the license server is unavailable, they will be allowed in, but a new user will be denied.  What is meant by "previous user" here and where is it kept?  We will have 500+ terminal servers in our farm, and running Citrix PVS and mandatory profiles, so there is little chance of being on the same server twice, no profiles are being saved, and they will run like VDI off shared disk and be "blank" and rebooted nightly.  So I'd like to know where/if/how this is tracked.

I saw some recommendations to install 2 RDS license servers, and split the licenses 50/50, specify both in GPO, but that all traffic will go to only the first server listed if its up.  So if the 1st server goes down the second will be there.  But assuming that we won't have double the RDS licenses we need, it seems that the first server will be "out" of licenses all the time and users will be polling the second server.  But then if the second server listed goes down, the first server would still be there, but it would be out of licenses.

What about doing the above but splitting the licenses 95/5 %?  Assuming you have over 5% overage on licenses, then either server would have enough licenses to handle new connections if primary crashes. 

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Why am I allowed to authenticate as servername\Administrator after changing the servername?

I recently built a physical Windows Server 2008R2 X64 Dell Server (R420). After installing all updates and Virus software and configuring the firewall, I had to change the host name. I changed the host name to New Win2k8 Server and then joined our corporate domain. I then went to log in with RDP and noticed that I could log in with the old server name\Administrator credentials. To make sure the name wasn't cached in net-bios I tried this from another pc that is on the same network that I hadn't used to log into this server before. Since I can't use a sniffer to see exactly what is going on I was wondering if anyone else could shed some light on this. I would think I could use this to remote into someone else's server if I knew an old host name and a password scheme used. Thanks in advance, Phil Woodell.

Having issues with RDS and multiple RemoteApps/Licensing

September 24, 2013, 8:33 am

We have an issue with RemoteApps. We have a fully functional RDS deployment, (RDS1 for example) that serves 2 different apps to our users.

App1 - served thru 3 different session host servers (ts1, ts2, ts3)

App2 - served thru 2 different session host servers (ts4, ts5)

since both apps are accessed thru the same connection broker server the users cannot have both apps open at the same time. Our original fix for this was to create a new deployment, (call it RDS2), and move ts4 and ts5 to it. This would work but the issue is we need the license server from RDS1 to issue licenses to the users connecting to RDS2 and it will not work. We tried going to OVERVIEW in the new RDS2 deployment, going to Deployment Servers, Tasks, ADD RD Licensing Servers. When I add License1 server to it then it wants to add all servers from the RDS1 deployment to this RDS2 setup which imports all apps, servers, settings etc. into the new deployment and we still have the same issue with the 2 apps being opened by the same broker.

If I go to the new RDS2 deployment, click Collections, Tasks, Edit Deployment Options, RD Licensing, choose Per User and add the License1 server it will add but the Overview still shows that the deployment does not have a license server.

Any Ideas? If it is doable to get both apps in RDS1 to work at the same time without using a second deployment that would be great, if we have to use a second deployment that is fine also. I just need to find a fix.

thanks,

Buddy Farr

Choosing which IE is used to open links in remote published Outlook

We have a server 2012 environment with windows 8 clients.

We use RADC to publish Office 2010 to the users and it works well.

When users try to open a URL embedded in an email from within Outlook the link opens in a *remote session* version of IE10 instead of their local IE10. This results in audio not working properly in embedded video such as with YouTube.

How can I either force the clients to use the local (non-Metro) version of IE or make audio work through the remote version?

Remote Desktop / Terminal Services monitoring

Hello everyone,

 I have been running into a problem with my network where the users are seeing a large slowdown with their connections from their location to the cloud, and there is plenty of bandwidth, and it appears to be an issues with the cloud server we are running (win 2008r2)  it seems as though when they experience this issue, that it may be that all users are using the same software at a time causing the connection/ server to bog down, my questions is if there is a way to monitor this issue, and not by just looking at the task manager as an administrator, that isn't very helpful. We also have a VPN tunnel from our office to the cloud as well, and we have troubleshooted everything else. i would like to find out if someone is somehow abusing the connection.

Login script not mapping drives for users

November 5, 2009, 8:50 am

I am in the process of configuring a new Windows 2008 terminal server in an existing Windows 2003 domain.  The TS is installed on a member server running Windows Server 2008 SP2.  The problem is that the domain login script (set in group policy) does not seem to be working for the users.  

I have a special TS group policy for the new terminal server and have enabled loopback processing on the default domain policy. The only setting configured in the TS policy is the location of the user's terminal server roaming profile. This seems to be working.  Other than the login script, other elements of the domain-level group policy, such as folder redirection, seem to be working. When I run the GP result tool on the terminal server, it shows all of the appropriate group policies from both the TS policy and the domain-level policy, including the login script.  This login script is vital, since it does drive mapping for a bunch of resources on the domain that users need to run certain programs.  The odd thing is that the login script runs for the Administrator account, which uses a separate group policy that has inheritance blocked.

Any help would be appreciated!

External/Internal Certificates for Windows 2012 RDS on Single Server

Goal: Use RDP Access to RD Session Host through gateway and web access through gateway externally

Info: Single Domain, All RDS Roles on same server(Windows Server 2012), Portforwarding on Firewall

At the Moment, I have one Trusted Certificate from Thawte (Name is ts.domain.com), which I deployed to these parts:

Remote Desktop Connection Broker - Enable Single Sign On
Remote Desktop Gateway
Remote Desktop WebAccess

The Remote Desktop Connection Broker - Publishing Role Service didnt accept my certificate for ts.domain.com, so I used a Self Signed Certificate for this.

Is this constellation possible, or do I need multiple certificates?

Which certificates could be internal to reduce the costs for certificates?

If there is a document that describes the required certs with an example, I would be very interested in seeing it.

Thanks

USB Redirection Per Session

September 25, 2013, 3:41 pm

I am trying to decide between thin or fat clients for a customer. Each station has a USB credit card reader and a USB signature pad in addition to the standard keyboard and mouse, and occasionally uses USB storage. My question is, how does Windows Server, also trying to decide between Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows Server 2012, handle the USB redirection for multiple sessions.

If I have 40 clients each with their own signature pad and card reader, will each USB device be locked to the individual session or will the host appear as having 40 of each device connected to it?

This would be session based virtualization locked down to essentially a kiosk mode. I am also trying to determine if this would be better to run in a VM or natively on the host. I would like the ability to leverage RemoteFX to provide better graphic support for one department that renders schematics and drawings.

They are also looking to possibly utilize webcams at a future date, I was unable to determine from reading the new information about USB redirection in Server 2012. Am I correct in understanding that RemoteFX USB redirection (and thus webcams) are now supported in Server 2012 session based Remote Desktop connections?

Roaming profile fails on two servers

We've got 12 terminal servers (XenApp 6 on 2008 R2) that are in a load-balanced pool, with users accessing the desktop. I have one user who can log into all servers, but when she logs into two of them, she gets a temporary profile. 

Here are the steps I've taken:

  1. System properties -> profiles: When she's logged in, Windows reports that she has a roaming, temporary profile. When she logs out, there is no reference to the user
  2. HKLM\Sofware\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList: There is no reference to the user, nor are there any keys with .bak in the name
  3. C:\users: There is no folder for the user, but there is a TEMP folder that she has NTFS rights to. I deleted the folder
  4. I have verified that the user has NTFS rights on the roaming profile folder

When the user logs in, on the two impacted servers, we see event 1511 and 1521 in the Application log.

I'm not sure what else to check. Thoughts?

Thanks.

User profile migration from one File Server to another.

Hi All, 

Sorry if this has already been answered but my search brings up nothing.  I am moving roaming user profiles from network location A, to network location B.  

My procedure is 

1. Run powershell script I wrote to take ownership of the profile files, give me full access to the profile files, fix profile permissions to reflect proper user permissions, move them to the new location, update active directory to reflect the new path.

2. Then I update the group policy for those users particular OU and their roaming profile location.

The issue is, even after I've moved the files and the profiles look to the new location, the user profiles still act as if they are being setup for the first time upon next login.

Basically is there a recommended way to move a users roaming profile, without it recreating the account?

Here is the code for the powershell script ( sorry for it not being documented ) just in case you want to look at it.  As far as I can tell though it successfully restores the correct ownership and permissions so I don't think the focus should be at the scripts code( as ugly as it may be )

Assume this script is launched from a separate server that is not contosofs01, with an account that has the ability to view all drives with the
