Can anybody tell me if there is an Event ID for a change of user logon mode and if so in what category of the event log I would be able to find it.

Thanks in advance!


The Remote Desktop license server cannot update the license attributes

$

I have a domain that was successfully running with two Windows 2003 DCs.  I added a Windows 2008 R2 DC to the network successfully.  I demoted (removed) one of the 2003 DCs.  I added a Windows 2008 R2 Terminal Server to the network.  I added the TS Licensing Server as well.  I activated the Licensing Server and installed my User CALs.  All seemed to work well until I looked at the error log.  Whenever a non-administrator user logs in to the TS machine I get an error in the errror log telling me that

The Remote Desktop license server cannot update the license attributes for user "USER" in the Active Directory Domain "DOMAIN". Ensure that the computer account for the license server is a member of Terminal Server License Servers group in Active Directory domain "DOMAIN".

I do not get this error when an administrator logs in via TS.

When I look at the Security Groups in the DC for the domain there is a Builtin Security Group called "Terminal Server License Servers" and it has the terminal services computer (which is the same as the license server) listed in the group.

How do I fix this?

HP Thin Client can't access Windows Server 2008 R2

$

We bought some HP Thin Client t410. I setup the Thin Client and connect to one of our Windows server 2008 R2 RDS. It worked for a week. I am back to the office after the new year, it can’t connect to the same RDS. Here are details.

  1. If I try to connect the  Windows 2008 R2 RDS (no matter using IP, FQDN), I get this message: “RDP client error: Reboot necessary. The firmware has experienced a critical error”.
  2. The HP tech support recommends me to download the new image Z5A42019 to replace Z5A41204. But that doesn’t fix the problem.
  3. If I use the Thin Client to access other Terminal Servers, it works fine.
  4. I also try another Thin Client, but get the same error.
  5. All our XP and Windows 7 access the same Windows 2008 R2 RDS don’t have this issue.
  6. The RDS Event Viewer doesn’t have any related errors.
It seems to me only the Thin Client connecting to this Windows 2008 R2 RDS has this issue. I think it could be the security issue, but can’t figure it out.

Server 2012 RDS - User Profile Disks - Errors during Logoff

$
0
0

I have set up a test Server 2012 RDS collection (Single Server for now) and implemented User Profile disks.

I have two problems.

First: My generic test user can connect and does successfully use the user profile disk as expected. However, atlogoff, the system event log contains these errors:


The error (NTFS 137) is: The default transaction resource manager on volume C:\Users\ts3.test encountered a non-retryable error and could not start.  The data contains the error code.

The warning (NTFS 50) that concerns me is:

It appears that the user profile disk is being "disabled" or "disconnected" before the profile data is completely written at logoff. What can I do to troubleshoot this?

Second:

Update: A post from Mike Connor on the following page: -LINK- solved the problem described below. 

My administrative user always logs on now with a temporary profile. At the beginning, the UPD was working and mounting. That stopped working. In attempting to troubleshoot, I logged the admin user off and deleted the UPD disk file from the share. I remember it working again after generating a new UPD disk file in the share. Soon, it quit working again. I deleted the UPD disk file again from the share and ever since, it has never regenerated a new UPD andalways logs on with a temporary profile.









XP SP3->Server 2k8 Authentication error code: 0x507

$

Hi everyone,

I had a lab setup of 3 Server 2k8 RC0 Terminal servers. They functioned as my thinclient RemoteApp servers, and they did a fantastic job! So fantastic that I went ahead and purchased Server 2008 Enterprise Edition licenses. I setup my environment the same exact way I had set up my RC0 environment, but I have ran into unexpected errors. Long story short:

My XP SP3 computers (which have the 'latest' RDP client) cannot connect to my 2k8 servers. They simply throw back an "Authentication code error: 0x507." I did find the MS Knowledgebase page where it said to edit a couple registry keys which appended the data "tspkg" and "credssp.dll" to three different locations, then rebooted and has made no difference.

With the latest RDP Client, I can still connect to my 2003 servers without a problem. The one difference I've noticed is that when the RDP client connects to a Server 2008 TS, it asks for a username & password before going any further, unlike connecting to a 2003 server where it'll connect you to the server first then ask for the login credentials.

I'm stuck, and cannot get past this. School starts in a couple weeks and I need to find a workable solution to these issues. I've tried to go through as many RDP settings as possible on my Server 2008 TS and that has made no difference (accept all connections even from insecure clients, added my user group to the Remote Desktop system group...stuff like that)

I would love to hear what some people have to say, and would appreciate any feedback or ideas about this situation. Thank you!

Remote Desktop Farm, user logged in multiple times

$
0
0

I setup a remote desktop farm to test it out before going to a production environment.  Current setup: two remote desktop servers (TSFarm1 and TSFarm2) with a third server that has the Broker role installed (TSFarmBroker).  I am using Network Load Balancing to balance the load.

Farm2 is set to not accept any new connections.

I have 4 users (Uno 1-4) logged in, two on Farm 1 (Uno1 and 2) and two on Farm2 (Uno3 and 4)

I logged out Uno3 from Farm 2, it logged back into Farm1.  No problem.

I then closed the RD session for Uno4, so it went into a disconnected state on Farm2.

When I created a new RD session for User 4, it sometimes reconnects to Farm 2 like it should, but there are also times when it will create a new session on Farm 1 leaving the Farm 2 session in the disconnected state.

How can I prevent this from happening?

I cannot have a user with multiple RD sessions.  If they left a window or a program running on the disconnected session, they would not get back to it on the active session on the other server.

Here is a screen shot from the Broker showing Uno4 connected to multiple servers:

Thanks!

 Hi.

   I have been working with Win2k8-r2 x64. I deploy a RD server on it, users where working without issue, the license manager mark the users as "temporary".

   Now, I register my CAL receive my 5 licenses and finish the proces in the server, now the server have 2 registers:

win 2k8-r2  temporary

win 2k8-r2 5 licenses.

  My user are in the temporary side, but I need to move them to the right one(CAL 5) and delete the temporary line.

How can I fix this?

Thanks!!!


Local folder redirection

$

I have a need to redirect c:\temp to %USERNAME%\tempon Windows 2003/2008 TS severs.

I need this becausewe have a home grown application that runs on our users local machines (Java / Internet Explorer based). This application creates PDF reports and is hardcoded to name the generated report c:\temp\report.pdf

I want to get thejava based client off of the local machines and have the users run the app via TS. The problem then is all user reports would be called c:\temp\report.pdf.  The report would overwrite itself every timeit was run.

Rewriting the codeon in the Oracle application isn’t an option in the short term. There are 10,000+ forms that would need to be changed / documented.

Thoughts on howbest to accomplish this?

I still cannot find a solution for this problem.   I followed the suggested solution but the problem still persist.

Backround

Local Machine:

  • Windows 7 Pro 64 bit
  • Brother (printer) connected by USB cable
  • All configuration on the Remote Desktop Connection is set up correctly.

Remote Machine:

  • Windows Server 2003
  • Rent Manager software

When we try to print from the Rent Manager software, printer is not there.  There is no way to add the printer on the Remote Desktop machine.  We have no control.

Please advise

Any way to allow download of MSI package from RDWeb?

$

Hi Everyone,

I am looking for best practice and best suggestions regarding download of MSI package of RDP applications. I am running Windows 2008 R2 Server and want the users to have the options to login and download the MSI packages for RDP shortcuts and install it - and then forget about coming to RDWeb and just use the installed Remote Apps to run the apps. Currently, I e-mail them the MSI package and it's not the best way to do it really for management reasons.

Any suggestions how to better manage this?

Thanks

First Attempt Never Works (Remote Desktop / Terminal Services Gateway)

$
0

Hello! At my workplace, we are experiencing an odd problem. We have an office network with roughly 20 desktops running Windows 7, on a domain hosted by a server running Windows Server 2008. We use Remote Desktop / TS Gateway to let people log in from home through Remote Desktop Web Access (i.e. through Internet Explorer). There's a strange issue: the first time you try to connect to computer, 100% of the time, fails, with the error message "Remote Desktop can't find the computer '[name]'. This might mean that '[name]' does not belong to the specified network. Verify the computer name and domain that you are trying to connect to." But then, the second attempt always works!

Needless to say, this is something we'd like to fix. Once you connect, Remote Desktop works fine.

Network administration is done by an outside partner for us. Our partners, who recently set this up Remote Desktop TS Gateway for us, claim that this must-try-twice problem is a known issue with TSG, and cannot propose anything to fix it. However, I can't find any evidence that this is a known problem. I can find plenty of examples of remote desktop _not working_, but nothing where the first attempt never works but subsequent attempts do. Would very much appreciate any experience anyone can share with this--or any guesses as to what could be causing this. 

I can add that, within the domain, seated at a computer, the Remote Desktop app accessible from the Start menu works perfectly fine, with no issues connecting.

Thanks much for any insights!

Licensing RDS 2008 R2 via SBS 2003

$

From looking around it looks like this isn't possible but I thought I'd see if someone can confirm for sure it won't.

I've been tasked with setting up RDS on a new 2008 R2 box we're going to be deploying along side an existing SBS 2003 machine. I've been asked to configure it in such a way that the licensing role isn't deployed on the 2008 R2 box but to configure the SBS 2003 to this.

So my question is: Can SBS 2003 handle licensing for a RDS deployment on 2008 R2?

Number of parallel connection limited to 2

$

I have succesfully installed Windows Server 2012 Essentials. I need to use this server as a terminal Server where <20 may be allowed to make parallel connections.

I have succesfully setted up and activated the Licensing Server and installed 10 Windows 2012 Per User RDS CALS. In Licensing Diagnostics there are no issues, everything is green, Licensing Server is detected with 10 Per User RDS Cals installed. I am using Workgroup mode, hence I have a Samba domain and RDS does not work with Samba domain.

I cannot access Server Manager / Remote Desktop Services, as is not working with Workgroup mode, I get an error that I am logged in as Local User. 

The problem is when I try to log in more than 2 users, Windows is asking me to disconnect one the ones already logged in, so it doesn't accept more than 2 parallel connections, just like as I have never installed Remote Desktop Services Role and 10 Per User RDS CALS.

Could you please help? Is a problem with the installation? Is a problem with Windows Server 2012 working in Workgroup mode, or is a problem with setting up the Maximum Number of parallel connections (I know in Windows Server 2008 R2 you can set this up from Remote Desktop Session Host Configuration / Network adapter, but on 2012 this option is not present anymore). 

Thank you very much !

2012 RDS hosts does not take licensing configuration

$
0
0

I've done a complete Windows Server 2012 setup with broker, webserver, license server and RDS-Hosts. I've set up the licensing to use Pr. Device and added 1000 licenses to the license server (who also is the web server and broker). The RDS Overview picture says that all is OK. But if I run licensing diagnostics on any of my RDS Hosts I get "Licensing not configured". Tried resetting the license server with set-rdlicenseconfiguration, but still the hosts refuse to take the configuration, and therefore starts to fail after 120 days. Licensing Manager on the broker/webserver/license-server says all OK with 1000 free licenses, none taken.

Any pointers?

Sincerely

Ketil

Hyper-v 2008 vdi pool

Hi, I need guidance for this technology. 1. Is it possible to use my CB as a session host in redirection mode pointing to itself as the CB? The redirection is for vdi pool. 2. Since supplementary component is needed for vdi, can i promote the same server? I am having issue as right now my setup is a separate virtualization host win 2008 r2 All other components reside on one server, the connection broker, web access and session host. Launching web access doesnt let me see the vdi pool configured. 3. How can I create a vm faster for the pool? I will be making about 80 client machines Thanks.
