Server 2019 Standard Terminal Server, some older users need "larger" text and icons

Just put in a brand new Windows Server 2019 Standard Terminal Server at a client. Some of the partners in the firm are of an advanced age and their eyesight is no good. However other's are in their 20's and can see very well.

I tried searching for and and it seems microsoft had a solution for 2008 R2 and then nothing after.

Any way to get that on Windows Server 2019?


Remote Desktop Services ( Terminal Services) change domain controller

Hi,

I have got the following scenario and would like to change the domain controller on the Remote Desktop Session host server.

1. 

Domain Name - xyz.local

SVR01 ( It is remote desktop session host and license server )

2. 

Domain Name - abc.local

Requirement

I would like to move users, groups, GPO from xyl.local to abc.local domain without losing the user profiles settings and apps configuration in SVRRDSH01. 

I will be decommissioning the domain xyl.local. 

What would be the best method to complete the migration?

RDS with Azure MFA fails for non-MFA-enabled users

Windows Server 2019 1809 Build 17763,832 Win Defender Firewall disabled

RDS 2019 application proxy externally

I have setup a RDS 2019 environment with the following roles.

- RDS Gateway and Web Access on one server

- Connection Broker

- 2 Remote Desktop session host servers

- RD licensing server on DC

- Application proxy on ADConnect

- Outbound ports are open to Azure AD

I followed this document.

https://docs.microsoft.com/bs-latn-ba/azure/active-directory/manage-apps/application-proxy-integrate-with-remote-desktop-services

When i log in internally to office 365 and open the On-premise application for remote desktop everything works fine

When i log in externally to office 365 and open the on-premise application for remote desktop i get the error "The computer can't connect with the external computer because authentication with the firewall is failed. Because the references from the firewall are missing".

There seems something is wrong in the firewall, but i configured the outbound ports. Do i configure more in the firewall for this ? Am i missing something else ?

Remote Desktop Services - Users prompted twice when launching remote App

I am currently testing RDS in our environment on 2019 servers. I followed this guide to set this up.

https://www.anotherwindowsblog.com/2018/02/building-redundant-microsoft-2016-rds-farm-netscaler-part-1.html

I applied a wildcard certificate for all the services. 

When the user logs on to https://rds.mycompany.com/rdweb with domain credentials he is prompted for another login to the RD Gateway. 

 Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.

The RDweb service is running on the same host as the RD Gateway. I have come across applying group policy, trusted sites etc. But my issue here is the users will be logging from a non-domain joined home PCs. Please help.

upgrade OS on connection broker

Hi guys,

i have 2 connection broker server with 2012 R2 configured on ha mode. So i need to upgrade this server to 2019 because i will need to use 2019 as host server.

i have saw this document

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/remote/remote-desktop-services/upgrade-to-rds#flow-for-deployment-upgrades 

but it's not clear, i need  remove the server from HA group, upgrade OS, after upgrade the second server without remove the HA group and finally add the first server to HA group again? it's the correct procedure? 

thanks

Remote Desktop License Manager - Configuration issue (not a member of TSLS Group)

Hello,

I am trying to install the RD License manager on a member of computer in AD. The AD Schema is Windows Server 2016 and this member computer is Windows Server 2019.

I have successfully installed the role and activated the server, added the member computer in the BUILTIN "Terminal Services License Server" group but in the configuration page I get the message "the system cannot determine if the license server is member of tsls group".

All the required ports are also open as specified by : https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/832017/service-overview-and-network-port-requirements-for-windows#method53

Does anyone have a similar issue or know how to solve this? I dont want to install any CaLs if the service has any errors.

Regards,

Tony

Windows Server 2019 RDP license

Hello,

 

We bought a license for 50 users, which works well as we can use tens of active ones, but still logs in the login error that it expires in 116 days because the rd server is not configured but on the license tab green it says that there is a license for 50 users. The License Management Test Module writes 0 user licenses ....
Has anyone ever encountered such a mistake?

 

Thanks in advance,
Zsolt

How to allow Terminal Server logon scripts to use PowerShell full language mode?

Hello everybody,

At a customer's site there is a PowerShell logon script set for users via GPO. The users log on to Terminal (RDP) Servers. PowerShell seems to be in restricted language mode at least for normal users. However, the logon script must use features not available in PowerShell restricted language mode.

How can we have the logon scripts in full language mode please?

Add-in is available, but not loaded. The managed add-in loader failed to initialize for MS Office Prof Plus 2016 on Windows 2019 Server Standard

Hi,

I need help.  I have a third party add-in and I have installed on Windows 2019 Server Standard with change user /install on cmd.   I even have Office Shared Features and Office Tools installed.  The third party add-in shows up on the add-in list, but not on the toolbar and it's not listed under the Active Application Add-ins under Add-ins, but it's showed in the Inactive Application Add-ins.  I also try to select COM, under Manage, and I can see the third party add-in, but when click OK, it stills won't show up on the toolbar.

Does anyone encounter anything like this?  Please help!

Remote app: hide server local drives & map client drives with drive letter

Hello all,

We've setup an RDS farm with 6 RDS host servers on server 2016.

The application itself cannot see network drives, only mapped drives (aka with a specific drive letter). 
Passing through a users drive to the remote host works fine, but I'm looking for a way to automatically map this drive to a drive letter for the specific user.
Can this be done? And how?

Also, I would like to hide the servers physiscal hard drives, so users don't get confused and to keep things lean.

What are the best practices to accomplish this? 

Many thanks!

RemoteApps SSO from control panel

Hi all,

I have configured RDS on windows server 2019. I was able to configure SSO for both MSTSC and RDWEB. Including sign in to the RDWEB web page and starting RemoteApp from the web page.

My problem is with adding RemoteApp from control panel. When I add a new connection it always request credentials saying the used credentials are incorrect. I don't understand why because all other ways are working correctly...

Any help would be appreciated.

Query Logged In Users of remote RDS Servers

Hi All

A bit of a strange one. This function has worked in the past, but seems to have stopped. Server 2016 Datacenter. RDS servers set up in a farm, RDS1, RDS2, RDS3 and RDS4. I am able to log on to RDS1, and run the following command:

Query User /Server:RDS2

And I can get a list of all users logged on to the remote server. However, when I try to run the command asking about RDS4, I get the following result:

Error 0x000006BA enumerating sessionnames

Error [1722]:The RPC server is unavailable

I am able to log in to RDS4 and run query user, and it shows me the list of logged in users just fine. I am able to query the other servers from RDS4 successfully. The error seems to happen only when querying RDS4 from 1, 2 or 3. I have tried running the command with the NETBIOS name, as well as the IP and the FQDN. Still get the same result. I have disabled the firewall and AV (Symantec) and still fails. Tried disabling all the third party services and rebooting, but still fails. Tried running sfc /scannow and dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth. Both ran through fine and didn't say they fixed anything, but rebooted anyway and still failing. Looking online, there are a lot of references to a certain registry key that needs to be enabled:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\AllowRemoteRPC

This key is set to 1, and has been rebooted. I am logged in as domain admin on all endpoints. The servers will have been created from a single image that was sysprepped, so is it possible that there is a old NETBIOS name somewhere in the registry? Starting to run low on things that I can try to find out what is happening, so Im hoping that someone here has seen this before or has an idea on something we can try.

Thank you for looking, and for your help.

Any suggestions?

roaming remote desktop profiles

tell the users and computers in the active directory in the rest, I indicate the user the path to the roaming profile of the remote desktop, but this does not work, the profile was local and remains when connected to the terminal server. terminal server 2008. found an article that this path does not work since Windows 2012 and younger and you need to edit the registry and specify the key fQueryUserConfigFromDC. but I have a terminal server 2008, why doesn’t this path work?

OneIdenity SPS as RD Gateway licensing

Hello,

We are planning to deploy OneIdentity SPS for session monitoring. We want to deploy it as a Remote Desktop Gateway in front of a windows server (Session Host).

I want to know how will the license be managed in this case. Note: We have RDS Device CAL license model.


Knowing that all traffic will go through the SPS, is this considered as one device?

For more on SPS as RD gateway:  https://support.oneidentity.com/technical-documents/doc1300463


RDS Per User CALs usage in Azure AD environment

Hello RDS experts,

I have few confusions here regarding configuring RDS in Azure AD. I'm aware of complete configuration w.r.t on premise. How different is it configuring RDS in complete Azure AD environment?

Also regarding RDS CALs,

1. How different is it configuring and making RDS Per user CALs work in Azure AD set up?

2. How different is it tracking Per User CALs in Azure AD?

3. For Azure AD joined machines, 'Domain' specification is defined as 'Workgroup' when checked in system properties! Does this create any issues in configuration, usage or tracking of Per User CALs here?

Apologies and correct me if I have got into a lot of confusion.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks & Regards,

CSR.

Users fail mostly connecting to load-balancing farm, but only when going through a VPN

Hello everybody,

A customer runs Windows Server 2019 terminal server farms. From the local network, everything is fine. Users get perfectly connected and load-balanced to the RD servers. However, if the log on to the domain through a VPN (TMG 2010) which does not block any traffic, they can only only sometimes connect to the farm. When they fail, their Windows 10 RDP client just yields an "internal error" without being more specific.

We checked already:

* TMG does not block anything coming from the VPN to the inner servers or vice-versa. We also tried temporary firewall rules allowing any traffic in both directions.

* DNS resolution and contact to the domain controllers is fine from the LAN and through the VPN. There are DNS A records for each RD server, and for each RD server there is a DNS A record with the farm name, pointing to each of the RD servers, for DNS round-robin.

* The RD broker (a separate server) load-balances the users just fine.

* The clients get a DHCP address for their VPN connection from VPN, also just fine.

* The clients CAN connect every time to the old 2008 R2 server farm which did not load balance. When they try to connect to a 2019 farm (with each farm consisting of 4 RD servers and its own broker and licensing server), the only connect sometimes, the other time failing with the "internal error".

* The clients connect (locally and through VPN) using the same .rdp file pointing to the farm name. The do not use RDWeb currently, nor a RD gateway.

We have the suspicion (although not proved 100% yet) that the users can connect when a RD redirection is not needed/requested by the RD server that they initially contact via DNS round-robin.

Is such a symptom known? Does anyone have a clue what is happening here?
