Remote App and Hardware NLB

Hi,
We have an existing Terminal Server Farm (3 Terminal Servers) with a Hardware NLB distributing the load.
We now want to enable RemoteApp. Are there any best practises in combining the Hardware NLB with the RemoteApp setup (RD Web Access, Connection broker, Session host)? Any resources towards the different setup scenarios?
Thanks,
Dirk

Hi,
RD Connection Broker provides two services for incoming user connection requests: redirection and load balancing. Therefore, you can configure Connection Broker Load Balancing. With RD Connection
Broker Load Balancing, when a user without an existing session connects to an RD Session Host server in the load-balanced RD Session Host server farm, the user will be redirected to the RD Session Host server with the fewest sessions. If a user with an existing
session reconnects, the user is redirected to the RD Session Host server where the user’s existing session resides. To distribute the session load between more powerful and less powerful servers in the farm, you can assign a relative server weight value to
a server.
For more details, please refer to the following:

    Hi Kenneth,
    Here for your case suggest you to configure RDP session time limit so that your user can disconnect\log off once the specific time limit reached.
    You can setup the session time limit in different method.
    1. Open the Server Manager, select Remote Desktop Services.
    2. In Remote desktop Services, in right side you can drop down to collections.
    3. Select the collection which you want to edit the settings.
    4. Under collections Properties, select Task and then Edit Properties.
    5. In Properties dialog box, select Session.
    6. You can find all thetimeout settings under session collection properties; edit according to your requirements and then OK. 
    And apart also by group policy setting as below.
    Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Session Time Limits 
    User Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Session Time Limits 
    -  Set time limit for disconnected sessions
    -  Set time limit for active but idle Remote Desktop Services sessions
    -  Set time limit for active Remote Desktop Services sessions
    -  End session when time limits are reached
    Please check which setting suitable for your environment and you can apply for your case.

  • Remote App and Desktop Login Does NOT work

    Hello there,
    I have an easy one for you all.  I am running Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter off a server at a university.  This server is only intended to be shared with ~10 people doing various tasks like using programs installed and storing data.  As
    of now, I only have been able to do RDP from home with it.  Having tried to setup remote app and desktop, it only works on the server itself and not on other computers, both on the same subnet and a completely different IP address altogether.  Let
    me break down my questions:
    1.  Though the security certificate is  installed in Trusted Root Authorities, but the site is only trusted on the server and not on any of the other computers.  How do I get the others to trust it?
    2. Number 1 except this occurs in the Remote Desktop and App window as well.
    3. Adding users would be under active directory administrative center-->[my server]-->Users-->Add  right?  I guess I cannot play with 'User Accounts' in control panel anymore.
    Any help would be appreciated.  Also, if anyone thinks I am better off doing other things like virtual desktop, then I am all ears.  I just want to keep things as simple as possible.
    Regards,
    Ben

    Hi,
    Firstly, how to you reach the server from Internet, via host name, public IP address or VPN?
    If you need to remote to the server via host name, can you nslookup the host name and get the correct public IP address of it?
    Do you install the AD DS role on the server? Please let us know if you need the active directory environment.
    Thanks.

  • Remote App and iTunes not syncing

    I'm trying to get the Remote.app and the iTunes DJ to sync so that I can control my computer library from iPod Touch. However, the icon for remote does not appear in the iTunes tray under my iPod in "Devices." How can I fix this?
    For starters it is a 2.2 version iPod (volume rocker version) and I have the 3.0 firmware on it. My iTunes is the current 8.2 version. I also already have "Look for iPhone and iPod Touch Remotes" checked in my preferences in iTunes. I do have a wireless connection and both my laptop and iPod are connected to it properly. My iPod was connected before, but accidentally. I removed another computer from the library list and now it won't connect.

    Have had the exact same problem since the last iTunes update came through. remote worked just fine before that.

  • Remote app and home sharing

    remote app & home sharing worked on my new iPad (3rd gen) but did not work on my iPhone 4. this went on for a week or so but now both of them (remote app and home sharing) work on my iPhone but stopped working on iPad. I tried re installing itunes to 10.6.1.7 (latest version) with no luck. please help because i prefer using my ipad to control my pc

    Be sure that all devices are on the same network.
    If apple tv and remote are on same homeshare you should be able to select and control the apple tv from with in the remote app.
    If apple tv and the itunes are on the same homeshare the apple tv will see the itunes library (and shared photos) in the computer section.
    Additionally if these are all on the same homeshare you should see both the apple tv and the itunes library in the remote app.
    hope that helps.

  • Ipod remote app and apple tv sync vs. stream problem

    Have been using ATV 1st gen streaming from a shared itunes library for some time.
    Now I want to use the ipod remote app and can make it work only if I sync content to the ATV. If I stream content to the ATV, the remote app says there is no content.
    However, I can see (on my tv) and play the sync'd content using the white plastic remote.
    *Does this mean the remote app works only with synced (not streamed) content on ATV 1st gen?*
    (all itunes and ATV software is the latest)
    Thank you.

    Connect your Remote App to your PC/Mac
    Select Song
    Select Play
    Tap Full Screen icon(Album ARtwork)
    Select "AirPlay" button
    Selcect your ATV as the only Speaker
    This way you can stream content to your ATV
    This works with ATV II Aswell
    I have both and could not stream FROM ATVII to my MAC/ATV I
    But using MAC/PC as source and ATV as speaker makes it work fine with unsynced content

  • Iphone remote app and itunes

    All seemed to be going well until - the updates.
    Now my iphone will not recognize my itunes libraries. I deleted the library link from the iPhone remote app and even told itunes to forget all remotes. Back to my iphone to set up as a remote - again. The iphone generates the 4 digit code, itunes even recognizes the iphone, allows me to enter the code, and returns the screen that I can now start using the iphone as a remote. --- Back to the iphone - and the remote app can "find the library" - What gives? Help
    <edited by host>

    Revelation, do you mean complete restore of the iPhone and all contents thereof? Or the Mac?
    I have deleted the application "Remote" from the iPhone, and I have re-installed it. Each time the application will work for a limited time, and then it loses the ability to locate the library.
    I continue to suspect IP addresses as the source of the problem, and wonder if the addresses must be static on both devices in order for them to maintain a connection. However, I find it odd that iTunes can register the presence of the iPhone enough to list it in the "devices" pane (therefore, I assume that the two devices are communicating over my network) but then the iPhone fails to locate the iTunes library.
    Other applications (Briefcase Lite, for example) seem to be able to conduct over-the-network business without difficulty.

  • IOS Remote App and ATV2

    I cannot get the iOS remote app to connect to my Apple TV2. It connects just fine to the iTunes libraries on my network, but from three different iOS devices I get the same error. The app sees the ATV2 and tries to connect, but fails. The odd thing is, it used to work flawlessly. I hadn't used the app for a month or so and now its not working. I've tried resetting the apple TV (both power cycle and full settings reset) as well as rebooting the router and the iOS devices. I reinstalled the remote app as well. The weird thing is, I can airplay mirror to the ATV2 fine, just the remote app fails. The error message I receive after sitting at the "Connecting to Apple TV" screen is as follows:
    "Remote can't connect to your iTunes library. Check your network settings and try again.
    I have no idea what changed in my set up, perhaps a software upgrade screwed something up but I'm at a loss I've tried everything. The ATV2 is running 4.4.4, the iOS devices are all up to date running latest remote app.
    I Apple TV can access my iTunes libraries fine as well.

    Mar 30, 2013 11:31 AM Recently purchased new AirPort Extreme.  The wifi network works fine and all is well.  The issue is I can not connect my Remote app with iTunes or my Apple TV. - I have rebooted my AP Extreme as well as my AP TV and my PC. - I have logged out of Home Sharing and logged back in. - On my iPad or iPhone I add Library and receive a Passcode, I enter in the PC into iTunes and I receive an error message "The passcode you entered was incorrect. Please try again"  I receive this error when entering all my idivices. - I have deleted the Remote App and reinstalled it, but continue to receive the same error message. - All soft ware on all divices are current. - I have diabled my firewall. Who has any ideas?  Thanks MacBook Air, iOS 5.1.1

  • Remote App (and other network apps) Stop Connecting

    My network consists of the latest generation Time Capsule and Airport Express (for Air Tunes) with several pieces of hardware connected:
    -MacBook Pro
    -Mac Mini
    -Apple TV
    -iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch
    My problem lies with making connections to my MacBook Pro using the Apple Remote app or Air Video.
    *The Remote app will connect just fine, but after a few days I try to connect and it will timeout.* The only thing that seems to solve this is to restart my Time Capsule. Then again Remote and Air Video work fine on my local network for a few days, then they will start timing out when they try to connect.
    Interestingly, when I try to re-pair my Remote with iTunes when it if failing to connect, the remote will appear in iTunes, but when I enter the passcode to pair it will similarly timeout. So, I know my remote and iTunes see each other, but they won't seem to "talk."
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks, just wanted to check to eliminate the most obvious possibility.
    Sorry, no other ideas at this time. Perhaps someone else here will have a suggestion, though this not being an iTunes issue, per se, you might have more luck in the Apple TV, Time Capsule or MBP forums.
    Regards.

  • Remote App and shuffling a single album

    I'm using iTunes 11.0.1.12 on my PC and Remote App 3.0 (598) on my Touch 5G running iOS 6.0.1, and I want to play an album with its songs shuffled. For example, I go to Artists, choose Steely Dan, then "A Decade Of Steely Dan". There's no obvious way to begin playing, so I press the first song, which begins playing. This takes me to "Up Next", which has all the songs from the album I was on, PLUS 7 songs from the album, "Everything Must Go", also by Steely Dan. This makes no sense at all, but I ignore it for the moment, as shuffling is what's on my mind. The thing is, there's no shuffle button on "Up Next", so I click on the tiny album artwork in the upper right corner, and it takes me to the traditional "Now Playing" screen, with the transport controls and big album artwork in the middle. There I find my shuffle button, so I press it, and it turns blue, so I'm all good, right? Wrong! When the next song begins, it's from some other Steely Dan album chosen at random, like "Katy Lied". When I go back to "Up Next", songs from all my Steely Dan albums now appear. All I wanted was to shuffle the one album "A Decade Of Steely Dan" and play just its songs, but this simple thing doesn't appear to be possible. Am I missing something?

    Eliciting the bug requires entry to the album in the Remote App through Artists or Genres. I can leave the "Up Next" list displayed in iTunes on the PC and watch it populate with all the following albums when I do this. However, if I enter the album through Composers or Albums, only that album's tracks go into "Up Next". Unfortunately, using Composers to select albums is not a solution at all; for one thing, I only maintain Composer metadata for classical composers. Using Albums isn't really a solution either, because I like to browse by artist or composer. Interestingly, the Remote App groups albums by artist, but it's a flat list and hard to scroll through because there are so many more albums that artists, and while there is a scroll bar (column of dots) to the right, it has no letters to easily go to the p's for, say, Pink Floyd. The Artists view OTOH has letters A-Z instead of dots. I don't get the inconsistency here.
    Moreover, I've found that when I press a song to begin playing, the Remote App inconsistently takes me to its "Up Next" screen as I described in my first post vs. its traditional "Now Playing" screen. I've yet to figure out what determines this.

  • Remote App and Internet Sharing Problem

    Ok so basically heres the setup we have, we have one of the recent iMacs, a Macbook, and 3 PC's, one running XP and the other 2 Vista. All of these computers are on a network together. All our music is on one of the Vista PC's, called "SERVER". This PC is connected to the speaker system, so is what we use for music.
    Now I've been trying to use an iPod Touch we have (most recent firmware 2.2, and most recent Remote app version.) and the remote app to control the itunes on this PC. This is not an issue when the iPod is connected to the Wifi the router itself provides (its one of those wireless routers), but when I switch the Wifi the iPod is using to the Wifi provided by the iMac using internet sharing, it suddenly can't find the library anymore. Internet (safari) still works fine from the ipod when connected to this Wifi point.
    My guess is that because the iMac using internet sharing seems to act more like a router than a wireless access point (allocating its own IP adresses ect..), the iPod thinks its on a different wireless network, and thus cant see the itunes library. Obviously the iMac is connected to the router directly by ethernet, if I hadnt mentioned that.
    So, my question is, can I fix this ?
    Is there any way to make the internet sharing mac behave like a wireless access point and not like a router ?
    Help would be much appreciated.
    Thankyou.

    asuming you mean internet sharing as in you connect adhoc to 1 computer using wifi and the rest of the network is wired
    problems is the middle name of adhoc wifi though cause everybody problems imho
    and wifi routers are soo cheap most people don't bother
    even if internet sharing is used remote app should still work if not connecting adhoc at least it's working for me right now
    with a setup of many computers 1 wifi router
    1 computer sharing internet using an usb 3g modem
    remote app works with all my computers and my appletv

  • Re: HP All-in-one Remote app and HP 4620

    Hi
    I already have a HP B110a printer and have just bought an Officejet 7610 as I wanted A3 scanning and printing.
    I was using the old HP Printer Control app with my iPad 1 but I cannot get the app to see the new 7610 printer. It is definitely connected to the network as other computers in the network can find it, and the ipad is definitely connected to the same network and it can still find the B110a printer. I have tried updating to the new HP All-in-one Remote app but now find that I need iOS v6 or later which is not supported by ipad1. This is obviously very frustrating for me as I checked before I bought the printer that it would work with this app ( according to your web site, it does) and that I could run the new app on iPad 1. According to the web site and your FAQ for the app, it requires ios v4.3 or higher (I am running ios v5.1.1) Is it because the Officejet 7610 won't work with the old HP Printer Control app? If that is the case, then what is the solution to ipad1 users? Alternatively is it possible to still get the HP All-in-one Remote app running on iosv4.3 as this website still says it does.

    Hi BookerJ,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums.  I see that you have some questions about using your iPad1 with the HP Printer Control app. 
    The information on iTunes is the correct information.  The HP All-in-One Printer Remote Mobile App FAQ document hasn’t been updated yet to reflect the most recent version of the app.  The document has been submitted for revision to reflect the new minimum iOS requirements of iOS 6.0 or later, for the updated app.
    One of the questions in the HP AiO app is “Why can’t my mobile device find a printer on my wireless network?”.  Please review the items in that list.  If the app is still unable to find the printer, please follow the steps in Apple’s Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset document.
    I do not have any devices running the Printer Control version of the app to confirm whether it supports the Officejet 7610 printer.

  • Remote App and iTunes Movies Library

    I am using the remote app on my iPhone and iPad to control iTunes.
    Everything works fine, but what I do not understand is, why does the remote app not list all movies in my iTunes? It only lists H.264 files, but not MPEG-4 files. All of them are listed in iTunes and it plays both filetypes without any issue.
    Why is this?

    Having exactly the same issue with my .mpg files. This was the main reason I installed Remote.

  • Remote app and Ipad with Apple TV

    I use the Remote app with both an iPad and iPhone to control my first gen Apple TV. This works fine except for one thing. When I select "Apple TV" as the library, using an iPhone I have access to all my library including Podcasts. When I run the same app on my Ipad, still selecting "Apple TV" as the library, no Podcasts come up on the iPad to select - the category is completely missing.
    Has anyone else seen this issue ? Are they still there but hidden somewhere else ? Bear in mind I keep no content on the Apple TV - it is effectively just acting as a wireless device to get the signal to my TV.

    Hi,
    still selecting "Apple TV" as the library, no Podcasts come up on the iPad to select - the category is completely missing.
    Tap Settings on the iPad then tap General / Reset / Reset Network Settings then restart your iPad.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPad. To turn iPad back on, press and hold the Sleep/Wake until the Apple logo appears.
    See if you can access podcasts now.
