Remote Desktop Configuration on Windows Server 2012 R2

Hi, I wanted to see if anyone knows how to access the console that was known before as Terminal Services Configuration.
I've been having trouble with some servers that have 2 or more NICs and sometimes the RDP protocol won't listen on the right IP and I can't connect until I disable the other NICs.
Usually in 2008 R2 I would just go on this console and define the specific IP Address in which the RDP Protocol should be listening to, but know I can't find this console anywhere on 2012 R2.
Any ideas on how I can get there or change this setting on Windows Server 2012 R2?
Thanks
Eduardo Rojas

Hi,
Based on my research, please try the following on your Windows Server 2012 R2.
1. Start Registry Editor.
2. Navigate to the following registry key (path may wrap):
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Network\{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
3. Under this key are one or more keys for the globally unique identifiers (GUIDs) corresponding to the installed LAN connections. Each of these GUID keys has a Connection subkey. Open each
of the GUID\Connection keys and look for the Name value. Choose the connection you want Terminal Services to use.
4. When you have found the GUID\Connection key that contains the Name setting that matches the name of your LAN connection, write down or otherwise note the GUID value.
5. Then navigate to the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\lanatable. Using the GUID you noted in step 5 select subkey. Note it's LanaId.
6. Navigate to the following value:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp\LanAdapter. Change it's data to the value you noted in step 6. If you want RDP to listen on all LAN
adapters enter value of 0.
Note: Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you
modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, please refer to
How to back up and restore the registry in Windows.
Hope this helps.

  • Guideline of installing remote desktop services in window server 2012 r2

    Hi,
    I tried to install remote desktop services in window server 2012, I joined my current domain ( in window server 2003).
    During installation, it require me to promote my server to domain controller? This is one of the requirement for remote desktop services?
    If I didnt join any domain, it prompt me I must join a domain.
    Anyone can advise me? provide me a steps by steps guide will be perfect!
    Thanks 

    Hi GP_IT001,
    In your current network do you currently have a domain controller? You mentioned that you "had" a Domain Controller running Windows Server 2003.
    Am I correct in thinking that you no longer have this server?
    As this article mentions:
    https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/f3d0543a-edab-4eb2-8360-3658a3351bb0/licensing-issue?forum=winserverTS
    You will need a domain environment which means you'll need a server that is a domain controller, and I believe that it will also need to operate Windows Server 2012 or above. You could, if you wanted, setup a new server (virtual or physical) as a domain
    controller and use that if you wish.

    I have a RDS 2012 R2 Gateway configured and it works great with all Windows clients both internal and external communication. The problems comes now when my I want to use  IPAD

    Hi Jeremy,
    I found a solution, thanks for you effort. The solutions is the following.
    First thing that needs to be done is either solution from options below, I did the Solution 1 in my case and added a NPS server to AD. (https://blogs.technet.com/b/networking/archive/2010/01/14/remote-desktop-gateway-client-fails-authentication-with-your-user-account-is-not-authorized-to-access-the-rd-gateway.aspx)
    Solution 1
    Register the NPS server in Active Directory:
    In Server Manager, browse to the following location: Roles\Network Policy and Access Services\NPS (Local).
    Right click on the NPS (Local) node and choose Register server in Active Directory.
    Click OK to authorize the server when prompted.
    Solution 2
    Open Active Directory Users and Computers on any Domain Controller of the same domain as the Remote Desktop Gateway.
    Add the Computer Name of the Remote Desktop Gateway to the RAS and IAS Servers group.
    Situation B
    Restart the RDS host and Gateway server.
    Secondly and the most important is to configure an alternate address that match your public certificate. My public certificate CNAME is “remote.domain.se”.
    All commands need to be run as administrator in PowerShell
    To show you current configuration run the following commands:
    CollectionName is the Collection Name you created for the RDS deployment.
    To get your collection name type
    Get-RDSessionCollection
    When you got the collection name type
    Get-RDSessionCollectionConfiguration -CollectionName "RDS - Terminal Server" | FL *
    The default configuration will look like this:
    CustomRdpProperty     : use redirection server name:i:1
    No to add you public domain name that match the certificate run the following command
    Set-RDSessionCollectionConfiguration –CollectionName " RDS - Terminal Server " -CustomRdpProperty "use redirection server name:i:1 `n alternate full address:s:remote.domain.se
    Run again to verify your settings
    Get-RDSessionCollectionConfiguration -CollectionName "RDS - Terminal Server" | FL *
    Now it show look something like this
    CustomRdpProperty     : use redirection server name:i:1
                             alternate full address:s:remote.domain.se
    IPADs and iPhones can now connect to your environment.

  • How do I remote control a user in remote desktop services in Windows Server 2012?

    Hello,
    we currently operate in a 2008 R2 environment with the majority of clients connecting to our terminal servers.  We use the remote control feature in terminal services manager to connect to a users session when a user phones our helpdesk with
    a question / issue.
    Just today I've installed 2012 server on a hyper-v virtual machine to have a play with it.  I've installed the Remote Desktop Services and noticed this remote control feature is gone.  I can still log off or send a message to a user, but I can
    no longer remote control their session.
    I've seen one or two other posts stating this feature has been removed completely.
    So, a couple of questions:
    1. How on earth do I "shadow" or connect to a users session now?
    2. If I have to go third party to get this functionality back, what's the best software on the market for this and does it support remote connecting of users who have their RDP session span multiple monitors? (2008 R2 doesn't)
    3. Will Microsoft ever bring this feature back? as at this stage I doubt we would move to 2012.  This is the one feature that is crucial to the day-to-day running of our helpdesk.
    Cheers.

    A large percentage of our IT support business is through remote management. Most of our large enterprise customers are Terminal Server environment (now called Remote Desktop - why does Microsoft have to change EVERYTHING - how would they feel if I changed
    the colour of the sky from blue to red just because I could?).
    Last week, after much expense to the customer (and realising that there WOULD be some cosmetic headaches to contend with Server Management) we installed a new "Remote Desktop Server" for them and shifting them from 2003 - a big leap so we discovered.
    During deployment it came as a HORRIFIC surprise that we could not remote control user's sessions!
    Yes, we ARE to blame for not fully realising the cock-up Microsoft has made for us. We should have fully researched every detail of what changes they made and what they have robbed us of.
    Firstly, the removal of the ability to fully manage user's sessions came as a HUGE blow!
    The remaining multiple issues that followed (including the hugely cumbersome and SLOW way of accessing user's sessions and the false information that the console was reporting users logged in when they had already logged out) suddenly resulted in us decommissioning
    the new 2012 installation in favour of a 2008 R2 installation.
    Some may ask; Why not use "Third Party" apps to counteract the issue? Firstly; why spend MORE and why use a third party app that "is as" cumbersome to use just because of a freaking feature that Microsoft deemed a "security risk" - for G.D sake!
    We have now been directed by management to convince customers that a move to 2012 is NOT recommended - good choice boss, I love you!
    The question is; will Microsoft re-implement this feature and fix Server Management performance/accessibility in a future release before 2008 R2 is no longer available? Probably not - it looks like their stubbornness to forge ahead with their craze mind-set
    of transforming their products into something that is now annoying millions (including their bloody push towards everything-cloud which NONE of our customers want anything to do with).
    Microsoft! Get us back on to your side and take a step back, take a deep breath and listen to consumers!

    Hi,
    Add to Brain, you cannot have more than 15 user accounts in Windows Server 2012 Foundation.
    In order to access a hosted application, such as Microsoft® Office, a license for Windows Server 2012 Remote Desktop Services is required for each user account (not to exceed 15 user
    accounts) that directly or indirectly uses RD Gateway to host a graphical user interface, including using Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) client. When using Remote Desktop Services, you may not install or use Remote Desktop Connection Broker or Remote
    Desktop Virtualization Host role services. For more information about Remote Desktop CALs , see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=140238.

  • Remote Desktop Session Host on Server 2012 not domain-joined

    I have a server 2012 which is running Remote Desktop Session Host role without the Connection Broker like described here:
    http://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2833839
    Now the client would like the Network Level Authentication (NLA) disabled. And since server 2012 does not have the Remote Desktop Session Host Configuration tool, I have to use the server manager console.
    https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/630cc818-69b0-4e1c-8d65-1b895b20e203/where-is-the-remote-desktop-session-host-configuration-tool-in-server-2012-?forum=winserverTS
    But when I go to the remote Desktop Services of Server manager, it says “You are currently logged on as local administrator on the computer. You must be logged on as a domain user to manage servers and collections.”
    So I tried finding some Powershell cmdlet could help me with the problem. I guess
    Get-RDServer
    or Set-RDSessionCollectionConfiguration would be the ones but I can’t seem to make them work.
    Any help, or a hint that I going in the right direction or not?

    Hi,
    Have you configure the certificate for your server?
    Add the user under Remote Desktop user local group, configure FQDN name of server. Please see that if we are using RDS server in workgroup then most of the tools provided to make managing/configuring RDSH servers easier in 2012 will not work in a workgroup
    configuration including some PowerShell command. You can check the below article for information.

  • HT204053 How to run icloud control panel on a users windows 8 desktop running in windows server 2012?

    I have a user on a virtual machine (server 2012) and their desktop is basically a windows 8 environment. When I tried to install icloud control panel 3 it fails, stating that it needs windows 8 or 7.
    Since it really is windows 8, but icloud doesn't see that, is it possible to fix this, so it can install?

    Hi jerelo:
    I have successfully installed iCloud Control Panel 3 on a machine running Windows Server 2012 R2. I am not running a VM on the server; rather, the users (about 10) connect via RDC. In any event, you might check out another thread related to Server 2008: https://discussions.apple.com/message/24899308#24899308.
    In the thread, a poster suggests modifying the install file to work on Server 2008 R2. I was experiencing the same problem you describe and after the fix detailed in the cited thread, iCloud installed without any problems. Now all users can access it as normal via RDC.
    I hope this helps,
    JW

  • How to recognize if application is installed using "Install Application on Remote Desktop" option on Windows Server 2008 R2

    How to recognize if application is installed using "Install application on remote desktop..." option in Control Panel in Windows Server 2008 R2?
    Basically, as administrator, I can't say if the user installed application using "Install application on remote desktop..." in Control Panel or he just installed it by clicking the .msi executable. I can't find anything that makes any difference.
    I could not find anything in the registry. I am quite confused.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    Thank you for your posting in Windows Server Forum.
    Please make sure that you are using category view of control panel-programs to check the application. And in addition to “install application on Remote Desktop server” user can also use command line also.
    change user /install
    change user /execute
    change user /query
    “The first time you run the application, it searches the home directory for its .ini files. If the .ini files are not found in the home directory, but are found in the system directory, Terminal Services copies the .ini files to the home directory, ensuring
    that each user has a unique copy of the application .ini files. Each user should have a unique copy of the .ini files for an application. This prevents instances where different users might have incompatible application configurations.” (Quoted formthis
    article).
    Hope it helps!
    Thanks,
    Dharmesh

  • Dymo Labelwriter printers not working via Mac Remote Desktop connection into Windows Server 2008

    I'm having a really hard time getting Dymo labelwriters (models 335 turbo and 450 turbo) to work over a remote desktop connection and I'd appreciate any help you can offer.
    To briefly describe the situation, I'm working for a Doctor's office, moving their IT from a remotely-hosted environment where employees connect to their Windows Server 2008 virtual machines (hosted off-site) via Windows 7 machines through Microsoft's remote
    desktop software.
    The new setup will have new servers running in-house instead of remotely and will be based on Apple's Mac Mini machines running Windows 7 for some tasks through Parallels virtualization
    software running directly on each employee's Mac Mini.
    We have 3 of the Dymo 450 Turbo products and one 330 Turbo, each connected directly to a Mac Mini.
    Here's the problem: I have Microsoft's Remote Desktop software running on the Macs natively, connected to each employee's virtual machine on the remote server for now, until the time comes to make the switch to using the new in-house server. The remote desktop
    software works fine - employees are able to connect successfully and access their desktops fine. I have the "Forward Printing Devices" option checked in the Microsoft Remote Desktop app so that the hosted virtual desktops can see the local labelwriters.
    However, the Dymo Label software running on the remote server will not recognize that a labelwriter is present.
    If I go to the Printers and Devices window on the remote server, the labelwriter shows up fine, named "dymo labelwriter 450 turbo (redirected 10)" however running the Dymo Label software gives an error, "Dymo label says no printer connected:
    dymo label printer requires a dymo label printer be installed and connected ..."
    To try and narrow down the cause of the problem, on the same Mac, I ran Windows 7 via Parallels and set up a new remote desktop connection within that Windows VM. Just to be clear, instead of using the RDC software running in the Mac OS, this new connection
    is using a Windows virtual machine running on the same Mac, with the RDC being established from within that Windows VM. Again, I forward printing devices and the labelwriter shows up in Printers and Devices on the remote server as "dymo labelwriter 450
    turbo (redirected 10)" This time, the Dymo Label software recognizes the attached labelwriter and runs fine.
    I'd appreciate any advice you can give on why, as far as the remote server is concerned, a forwarded labelwriter from Microsoft remote desktop running natively on a Mac isn't recognized
    but it is if forwarded from within Windows, bearing in mind that the labelwriter shows up on the remote server in both instances and is called the same name in devices and printers.
    Sorry for the long-winded question. I hope you can help me.

    Hi,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
    Firstly please check whether you have driver capable for your printer with MAC MRD. Also I would like you to check with updated MRD version 8.0.9 for MAC OSX. 
    https://itunes.apple.com/in/app/microsoft-remote-desktop/id715768417?mt=12
    Because as you have commented it can work with windows RDP, so please also try to contact Dymo Labelwriter printer and inquire regarding the issue.
    Hope it helps!
    Thanks.

  • How do you remove virtual desktops from a Windows Server 2012 R2 Pooled VDI collection

    All - I have created a Pool VDI Collection with 15 total virtual desktops in it. I need to reduce the number of virtual desktops in that collection to five. I have searched through the GUI, TechNet and done a number of Google searches but nothing helpful
    comes back. Does anyone know how to do this?
    I am guessing I cannot just delete them out of Hyper-V since the collection knows how many desktops it is supposed to have assigned to it.
    Thanks in advance.
    Will Smothers

    Hi Will,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
    We can use PowerShell command “Remove-RDVirtualDesktopFromCollection“ to achieve your goal.
    PS C:\> Remove-RDVirtualDesktopFromCollection -CollectionName "Virtual Desktop Pool" -VirtualDesktopName @("RDS-WKS-A27") -ConnectionBroker "rdcb.contoso.com"
    More information.

  • Remote Desktop Services in Winodws Server 2012

    Hi guys.
    I've a customer who wants to enable Terminal Services  (or RDP) for 5 users and right now he can only enable this for two since he is using the Windows Server Essentials.  My question is, does he need to migrate to the Standard Version to enable
    this for 5 users?   Does he need to purchase then the windows Server and 5 licenses for RDP?
    Thanks for your help!
