Remote desktop or session based for high memory/IOPS applications
Hi, we are about 20 users that require virtual desktops preferably 4 core and 16 Gb and apart from productivity apps like Office 365, we need to run some high IOPS intensive apps. vGPU is also preferred. What would you suggest? Should we go with session host based approach or Virtual desktops option. planning to set it up in the cloud (likely in Azure or other provider).
appreciate if someone could suggest

CPU fair share scheduling - What CPU ?
I understood that fair share is based on CPU load. But what CPU ?
Currently administering a farm of W2008 R2 RDS. Fair share being enabled by default. Each server having 12vCPUs.
On occasion some users are complaining about sluggishness (network and Disk I/Os being ridiculously low). I have no explanation about the sluggishness except for different threads from different users running on one single overloaded vCPU. Despite the fact
that the 12vCPUs are not all overloaded
So, How Fair share actually works across multiple vCPUs ?
Is it a mature/better technology in Windows 2016 ?

Remote Desktop users getting disconnected every 9-10 minutes
I have a server running Windows Server 2016 Standard in a WORKGROUP environment. This server has the Remote Desktop Services role installed with 20-CAL's. Users can login remotely to access applications. Everything works great for the first
9-10 minutes The problem is after 9-10 minutes their RD session is disconnected. Sometimes it reconnects and other times they have to log back in. All the server gpedit.msc settings for timeouts are defaulted and have not been changed.
On the same network we have another old server running Windows Server 2008 in the same WORKGROUP environment with Remote Desktop Services and 5-CAL's and the users don't experience any disconnections.
Does anyone have any thoughts on how I might be able to resolve this?

All apps and dialogs have the size option disabled.
I have been using remote desktop services for years. This is a new one for me. On a Windows 10 client connecting to a Windows 10 client through remote desktop all applications and the individual application dialog's cannot be resized. The dialogs can be minimized and maximized fine. This only appears under one profile of the PC that is being connected to in the RDP session. Other profiles connecting to work just fine.
Also with this profile the desktop is disabled. Only the start menu, and all Apps are available. This profile has been working fine for the past 2+ years so this is something recently changed. Again it is only with one Windows login other logins are fine.
Any help would be appreciated.

RemoteAPP after windows 10 update 1803 are slow and right mouse button is not responding (it reacts only sometimes)
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.

You already have a console session in progress
I used to be able to access Windows 7 computer from windows SBS 2008. For some reasons I can't. If I try to access it using RDC, I will get this message: "Your computer could not connect to another console session on the remote computer because you already have a console session in progress". I can telnet port 3389. What could be the problem?

When looking in the RD licensing manager we saw 2 red buttons
What could be the oriin of this problem and how could we solve it ?

Flickering of Icons on the Desktop - Fix Question
The solution below obviously fixes the issue of flickering desktop icons when you open a word, or excel document from the desktop of a redirected folders environment:
add NoRemoteChangeNotify registry entry(REG_DWORD) to/with value 1 in below location:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
But .................. and a BIG but ....
It creates another issue with mapped drives. We have applications that write data to the UNC path of the mapped drive. Obviously with the fix mentioned above the file does not appear in the mapped drive location without pressing F5. Because the functionality of our applications rely on the respective file being present, pressing F5 is not a workable solution.
What else can I do, is there some kind of function, script, GPO or registry entry that will continuously take care of mapped drive refreshes?
Thanks in advance.

Remote Desktop into Server 2016 gives black screen. Same issue as bug recently found/fixed in 2012 R2
Is anyone aware of a fix to this issue?
See the post from Sasha (Microsoft): here
Here is a post to the MS KB acknowledging and providing a resolution for 2012 R2:here
To resolve the issue when it happens, i need to kill the TermService service (it won't stop normally as it is in a deadlock state). I can then start the service again and it's business as usual until it happens again.
I can't see any info about this in RDS 2016... Anyone else? MS?
Thanks,

Server 2012 R2 manageability online cannot get role and feature data
Everything was fine until recently that error showed up.
my role and features was set to Active Directory and RDS, and it worked good for about a year.
Now, when I restart the server, the Server Manager shows me no errors and everything is loaded, but in about 30 minutes (sometimes the next day) the error shows up again and the role and features mentioned above disappear.

RDS Session State
Hi Guys,
I am wondering if someone can explain this to me. I am trying to find all idle or disconnected users on session host servers and with powershell that is easy but there are options like state active and state connected. Does this state connected mean that the user is idle, connected to rds session host but either has minimized rdp session or just not working on the computer.
What other states can I expect except these

RemoteApp and Desktop Connections shortcuts in Start Menu
Hi,
I have received a question from a customer that I can't seem to find an answer to.
The customer is currently running af PoC on a new RDS 2016. All Windows 10 (v1709 or 1803) endpoints. They are using the RemoteApp and Desktop Connections client to present shortcuts to various RemoteApps in the users Start Menu on the Windows 10 endpoint.
Is it possible to change the name of these shortcuts? More specifically remove the appended RDS workspace name from the RemoteApp shotcut.

VDI with Wyse 3040 boxes - RD connection broker sign-on failed
We are running MS VDI on a server 2016. Periodically we are not able to log into the personal Virtual PC's (VPC) and get the error RD Connection broker sign-on failed. Rebooting the server or the Wyse 3040 boxes do not fix the issue. We can log into the VPC's with remote desktop from a different PC. Today I got this fixed by re-installing the same cert over again in RDS certificates for RD Connection Broker -Enable Single Sign on, RD Connection Broker - Publishing, RD Web Access, and RD Gateway.
What could be causing this I'm not seeing any errors related to it in the event viewer ad restarting the services or rebooting does not work. We were down once for 6 hours until I stumbled across doing this and it came up, luckily this time it was a few minutes.

Give access to single local folder via remote desktop
We have an application which our clients run via Remote App. We would like to give the app restricted access to a specific folder on the clients local drive. Is there anyway to do that? As far as I can tell, you can give access to an entire drive, but but a folder in that drive.
For example, we would like our application to have access to an application specific folder in the users "My Documents" folder, but not to any of the other folders. The reason we want to do this is that we are providing our application to clients who are not part of our organization. We would like our app to be able to save files to their local drives, but do not want to ask them to give our application access to their entire C: drive.
Are there solutions to this problem that we haven't thought of? Right now, the way we deal with it is to have our application send them files via email, which isn't ideal.

RD WEB password.aspx doesnot work sometimes
Hi all!
There is an rd farm on 2012 R2 servers. I've switched on a feature that allows users to change their passwords. I did a small customization of the password.aspx - just added a tab for users navigation.
Problem is: sometimes I can change my password, but sometimes I get a warning: "The user name or password that you entered is not valid. Try typing it again." (of course I type correct password because I can login with it to the rdweb site)
I didnot find anything in the logs... What could be a problem? How can I find a cause of such behavior and solve it?
thanks in adv.

Cleaning user profiles of temp and cache files on RDS hosts
Hi,
I have disk space issues on some RDS hosts and notice that users tend to have huge temp and cache files from their browsers. Disk Cleanup does not pick that us and neither do apps like CCleaner from my admin account. Is there a best practice to clean those user profiles and recuperate disk space in general for RDS hosts?
Thanks for the tips in advance,

Problem with RDS server 2016 and dwm.exe crash
Hello
After windows update last weekend our user complains about freezing RDS sessions. After some investigation in the application logs on the RDS session host (windows 2016 server standard) i can see that the Windows Desktop Manager restarts for the users repeatedly. Sometimes as often as every 5 minutes.
The windows update was KB4343884. I have tried rolling back, but the problem remains.
I have checked the version of the local dwmcore.dll and its 10.0.14393.1715.
On the other servers that are patched the version is 10.0.14393.2457
Its really annoying for the users, anyone had this problem? Any ideas what to do?

How to get all the RDS license servers in the domain?
Hi there,
We have several RDS license servers managed by different department. Is there any way to get all of the RDS license servers in the domain?
I found this in technet, but seems that it's only work for windows 2003 TS servers.
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/5c9fda51-301b-4efd-90c6-797b79f6f9f6/how-to-find-all-the-terminal-licensing-servers-in-your-domain
And I also find that "Automatic license server discovery is no longer supported for an RD Session Host server that is running Windows Server 2008 R2. Instead, you must specify a license server for the RD Session Host server to use." Is this means that we can't find the RDS license servers in the domain only if we find the guy who build the servers?
