Hi,
Several times now I have purchased my RDS User CAL's through a new MPSA agreement.
Windows Server 2008 and 2012 RD Licensing Manager do not list MPSA as an agreement type when I try to install them from the server.
Several time's I have tried to call the activation line for assistance with this and on each occasion I have been patronized and told to call back because MY line is breaking up.
How can I activate the licenses that I have purchased without having to call the activation line?
I have tried https://activate.microsoft.com/ also but this give me an error each time saying my agreement number is incorrect when I can clearly see its right.
I'm getting a little frustrated now. Microsoft, how can I activate my CAL's in the quickest and easiest way?
My client is using RDS on Win2016. The users are connecting mostly via Chromebooks. They need the NumLock button enabled during the RDS sessions. Setting the "InitialKeyboardIndicators" registry key on the server for does not work.
I then wrote a script:
set WshShell = CreateObject(“WScript.Shell”)
WshShell.SendKeys “{NUMLOCK}”
and then used a GPO to run it per https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc770821.aspx. However, when the script finishes the user is automatically logged out. Since the script takes about 1 second to complete the user session is useless. Is there a better way to run this script at logon to the RDS session?
Thanks,
Joe
Hi all,
We have 2x 20212R2 connection brokers configured in HA. Checking server manager i am seeing Event ID 1016 warning messages all the time saying, RD Connection Broker service denied the remote procedure call (RPC) from an unauthorized computer x.x.x.x
All posts seem to point to a 2008 RDS solution. Is there one for 2012R2? What have i missed thats really simple here?
Thanks
Environment: Windows Server 2012 R2 full remote desktop sessions.
Active directory users connect to our remote desktop farm from multiple devices e.g. laptops, desktops, and handheld scanners. Laptops and desktops are domain joined running Windows 7 and 10. The handheld scanners are running Windows CE and not domain joined.
We've previously used the Environment tab in Active Directory to launch a specific program on logon. However, we now have multiple programs which need to run on logon.
Is there a way to a launch specific program in the same manor as using the environment tab in AD, which is dependant on the hostname of the device they are connecting from?
For example, if an single AD user connects from a computer name which starts HANDHELD, launch executable1, if computer name starts HANGGUN, launch executable2, anything else login normally (full remote desktop session).
Many thanks in advance.

For one of my Application collections I have a two server farm. Within the collection I have about six different published applications. One of these applications has a report function and some reports such as the check printing rely on a function that converts numbers to words such as in the image below.
We need this function to actually do the conversion to Spanish language.
This is dependent on the regional Format setting in the Region and Language option from Control Panel.
Hello,
My organization is considering to implement a virtual RDS Session Host, instead of running it on physical hardware. Is this a common or supported practice? Are there any licensing restrictions that prevent this? I haven't been able to find clear guidance on this on TechNet. If anyone has any advice on this, I would be grateful.
Thank you.
Hi
We are using IP virtualization and we have recently found out that after applying security patch KB3175024 (MS16-111 Description of the security update for Windows kernel: September 13, 2016) the virtual IP addresses are no longer being recycled i.e. I login and get virtual IP X.X.X.1, log out, login again an get virtual IP X.X.X.2. This continues until the last configured virtual IP x.x.x.254 and then the server runs out of IP addresses even though I am the only user.
After uninstalling the offending patch KB3175024 (MS16-111 Description of the security update for Windows kernel: September 13, 2016) virtual IP addresses are being recycled again, i.e. I login and get virtual IP X.X.X.1, log out, login again an getvirtual IP X.X.X.1.
Hi !
sorry for my English, i'm french speaking.
We have a RDS 2012 farm and we have a collection for our dev team. In this collection, we have 3 browsers, IE, Chrome and Firefox. This problem is for all browsers.
When a user start the remoteApp IE, for example and he need to print, the default paper size is set to A4 for example. The user change this to Legal for printing the document. If the user disconnect the session and he come back to the remoteApp IE, the paper size is again to A4 and not to Legal. The problem is there for the 2 others remoteApp. There is a way to set the paper size where it will not change for the next connection ?
Thanks !
Hello,
We have a Windows 2012 RDS environment and I have questions about installing applications.
I plan to create a domain account called RDSINSTALL and grant the account local admin right of the RDS hosts to install the apps.
What do I need to do so when other domain users login, they see the same shortcuts on their desktops or start menu?
I also plan to build the second host after applications are installed using the clone image of the first host. Is it possible?
Please advise.
Thanks.
Hi,
I have deployed VDI personalized collection of Windows 10 machines (Enterprise edition, x64, 1607 build) on Windows Server 2012 R2. But when I'm trying to use a shadow feature for a remote connection to one of the VDI VMs, I'm getting "Shadow Error: This computer name is invalid".
After a little of research, I found an article
https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/askperf/2013/10/22/windows-8-1-windows-server-2012-r2-rds-shadowing-is-back/
By using PowerShell command Get-RDUserSession | Format-List found from thereSessionID and ServerName, that I later injected in this command:
mstsc /shadow:SessionID /v:ServerName /control
After some testing, PowerShell doesn't recognizeGet-RDUserSession anymore, and gives an error:
Get-RDUserSession : The term 'Get-RDUserSession' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or
operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try
again.
At line:1 char:1
+ Get-RDUserSession
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (Get-RDUserSession:String) [], CommandNotFoundException

Server reboot doesn't fix the issue. Can anybody help how to resolve shadowing feature from the server?
Thanks
I would like to make everyone aware of an issue with RDS and the FIX from Microsoft services which I consider unacceptable.
The setup is as follows. One 2012 DC with Terminal server licensing installed. Two 2012 servers with RDS enabled. Take note that RDS was NOT deployed using the wizard as there is no need for all of the resources of a server farm for 2 servers. On each of the RDS enabled servers, group policey was used to enable and specify the RDS server and licensing mode. The RD Licensing Diagnoser was used to verify, and report that no licensing problems for the Remote Desktop Session Host Server existed, and the tray icon that reports that you are running a trial version of RDS does NOT appear.
Advance forward a few months and users start reporting that they cannot login and that they are receiving “The remote session was disconnected because there are no RDS license servers available to provide a license."
After doing all that I could I filed a case with Microsoft Support at the Highest Level Possible. After a month I finally was able to talk to someone. After 2 more weeks, here is the solution they gave me….
This continues to occur every few months. I wish someone at MS would FIX the problem.

It keeps saying a pending restart is required but I've rebooted many times. Keeps doing the same thing over and over. I checked the event logs but can't see anything related to this issue
Hi guys,
I am trying to access my work remote desktop through a company web access site - eg ts.companyname.org on a personal laptop
I use internet explorer v11 and the RD Web access is running Windows server 2008 R2
I am able to log in to the remote desktop system but when i try to connect to a specified terminal server and error displays stating
your computer can't connect because no certificate was configured to use at the Remote Gateway sever, please contact service administrator.
I have used this numerous times successfully before, and never had to configure a certificate before.
I wondered if this is something that needs to be fixed from my end, would some change likely caused this?
or would it need to be fixed by my company?
I'm afraid i'm not very good at these things so any help would be greatly appreciated!
In Windows Server 2008 / R2 we had access to RDS Listener properties by choosing administration tools -> remote desktop services -> remote desktop session host configuration -> right click -> properties on the RDP-tcp connection. This help us
in many way while we are in troubleshooting issues related to RDS service like recreate the listener, managing RDS configuration from one place. However in Windows Server 2012 / R2 / 2016 version those settings were scattered into different places and in case
if i like to recreate the listener then the only feasible solution is to merge the registry key from a good machine. I used to recreate it easily if i have a Windows Server 2008 / R2. Do we have any other method to achieve the same? Also i like to know why
the new interface is having such limitation?
I have some apps that are TZ sensitive on our 2012 RDS farm, as such TZ redirection is enabled in group policy.
The issue I have is one particular app requires the user TZ to match the local server which is in AU. I have users in NY and other US regions using this app and they get TZ errors from the app because their local date differs from the server date.
Because the client redirection is a computer setting in GPO I can't turn off TZ redirection for specific users. I've tried creating a targeted login script that runs TZUTIL and sets the zone to AUS +10 however I find this is hit and miss, sometimes it works sometimes not or it works the first time but if they reconnect it goes back to their local time. I've also seen it change the TZ to AU time when you first login but then 10 mins later it changes back to the remote clients TZ
Any suggestions how I can overcome this.
I understand that the config may be mutually exclusive for the apps that require AU time and others that need actual local time but this is OK, the users of the apps are different roles and need one or the other.
