Remote Desktop to servers crashes on Windows 8.1 Pro

Hi All,
I have done a search for this issue previously, but have been unable to find any information relating to my specific issue.
I have a Windows 8.1 Lennovo workstation with a pretty fresh install, and about 50% of the time I connect to our Windows 2003/2008R2 servers using remote desktop connection, it hangs, and tells me it has stopped responding.
I then have to force close the application and try again.
Having a look in the event viewer, I can see the below entries:
First, an event ID 1001, which is Windows Error reporting, containing the below info:

Interestingly enough, I had the same issue on my previous Fujitsu PC, which was also running Windows 8.1 Pro x64. I suspect it is some application I have installed on the machine causing the issue, but I don't have anything unusual installed.
If the above sheds any light on this, I will thank you in advance for any advice you can offer.
Thanks

Hi,
According to your description, since system is just fresh installed, it should not other application cause this problem. It is most probably caused by Certificate or Firewall problem, please try to disable Firewall or upgrade your RDP Certificate for test.

In addition, for RDP client crash problem, I would like to suggest you follow Andre's suggestion in the link below to colect RDP crash dump file, then upload the dump file to your OneDrive and post the sharing link here.

Remote Desktop Connection Authentication Error from Windows 8.1 Pro to Windows 7 Pro

I keep trying to connect to my server running Windows 7 Pro from my laptop running Windows 8.1 Pro, but I get the following message after providing
my credentials:
"An authentication error has occurred (Code: 0x8007001f)"
I can't find any reference to this error code being associated with using remote desktop.

Hello,
Are you connecting to a server as part of a domain ? if so confirm you are using adequate credentials for remote desktop for example: username: domain\administrator
if not you can try connecting to the localhost using:
username: .\administrator - for example
also you can try running your remote connection in admin mode:
Win + R - bring up run then type:
mstsc /admin
hope that helps.
Cheers,
Harry

Problem with Remote Desktop on iPad 2 and windows 8.1 pro

I downloaded the Microsoft Remote Desktop app from the App Store on my iPad 2. I typed in the IP address for my windows 8.1 pro computer on my iPad 2 in school to try connecting to my windows 8.1 pro computer at home. I'm having
a hard time doing it. Do I need a rd remote gateway to access my computer from outside my local network. If so, how do I find my gateway server name? Also, I saw somewhere that I have to press accept in a pop up message on the computer your trying to connect
to. Is this true? No one is home during the day and my iPad 2 has to stay in school. Can you please give me a step by step guide with photos to help me connect to my windows 8.1 pro computer from my iPad 2 from school, which is of course outside my local network.

Remote desktop not allowed between two Windows 8.1 pro pcs

PC1 client of a domain
PC2 notebook (no domain)
User (in remote access) is a domain administrator and also pc1 admin.Logon is not allowed from pc2 to pc1 with the following message:
"The system administrator has restricted the types of logon (network or interactive) that you may use. For assistance, contact your system administrator or technical support."
no problem if I use a PC with Windows 7 or XP
The standard configurations for remote access are equal for the two pc: no network authentication is required"
Thanks

Hi,
Enable the two policies below on PC1 to check how it works:
Computer Settings\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Session Host\Security\Require use of specific security layer for remote (RDP) connections
Set Security Layer to RDP
2. Computer Settings\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Session Host\Security\ Require user authentication for remote connections by using Network Level Authentication

Windows Server 2012 Used: Error Message from Windows 7 PC: Remote session was disconnected because there are no remote desktop license servers available to provide a license. Please contact the server administrator.

We are using Windows Server 2012 Standard installed in VMWare / Virtual machine and to access this we use vSphere client and Remote Desktop Connection / service was already enabled and was working fine with User PCs / laptops remote desktop into the server
2012, until it gave an error message of: Remote session was disconnected because there are no remote desktop license servers available to provide a license. Please contact the server administrator. whilst logging into the server.
We DON'T use Active Directory nor and we don't use domain and not looking to use it any-time soon.
I checked the RD Licensing Diagnoser and it says the grace period has expired and the licensing mode for the remote desktop session host server is not configured. I have checked the Remote Desktop Gateway has been stopped and I tried to start it and it
resumed to stop, here I assume its where the licensing part comes in to re-enabled this.
I have been trying to follow these articles online: http://ryanmangansitblog.com/2013/03/27/deploying-remote-desktop-gateway-rds-2012/ and http://www.concurrency.com/blog/rds8-add-a-licensing-server-2/#Install the overview part that I cannot get into,
because I think we have to be is AD DS for this which we don't. Is there a way around this for non domain / just standalone set-up? Is it a must / requirement we need to be in a domain in order for Remote Desktop Connection to work?
Also, we have a Windows Server 2012 RDS CALs - 10 (software and licence key), will the licence key work for the Windows 2012 Server Standard? We do not want to install the other Server mentioned which comes with CAL / licence key as its time consuming
to reinstall other programs. I have installed Server role service of Remote Desktop Licencing and automatically installed other associated services needed. in the RD Licencing Manager, the Server had a red cross and I "Activate Server"
where I followed: http://www.concurrency.com/blog/rds8-add-a-licensing-server-2/#Install in Install Licences section and I have used the licence key of CAL - 10 mentioned above; it stated I have successfully completed the install licences wizard and displayed:
10 Windows Server 2012 - RDS Per User CAL installed, and in the RD Licensing Manager the server turned into a green tick and added the licence.
I then tested the Remote desktop connection from my PC and the same error message was there and checked the RD Licensing Diagnoser and the same error messages was there. I haven't restart the services of Remote Gateway / the server itself; do I really
need to reboot server?
Any advice / guidance would be very much appreciated and this is a urgent matter.
Thank you for your time.

Windows server 2012 Data Center with VDI configuration error message ( The remote session was disconnected because there are no remote desktop license servers available)

Dears,
I have two windows server 2012 Data Center and I configured (Virtual Desktop Interface)VDI on it's.
All my clients connected on both of servers by used Remote Desktop sessions ,5 months since.
Currently,when the clients is connected on the both of servers they received the following error:

Kindly note, I installed windows Licenses Server Data Center on the both of servers.

Hi,
Please let us know if you have purchased RDS CALs and install it in your RD licensing server.
Also, on RD Session host servers, please make sure that you have specified the license mode and point them to the RD licensing server.

Remote session was disconnected because there are no remote desktop license servers available to provide a license. Please contact the server administrator."

I am the Server Administrator and have server 2012 Standard running on a single computer for our small (50 employee) company. It's primary role is to house one software application that manages our data. Our employees need to remotely access this
server to use this software program. For the last 4 months we have successfully done that using Remote Desktop.
Unfortunately our RDS trial period ran out on our Server, and so I have recently installed 21 RDS User CALs on to the server to still be able to access this server remotely. When I installed them, using the Install Wizard, I selected 'User CALs' as that
is what they are. However, when I try to use remote desktop and access the server remotely, I get the message: "remote session was disconnected because there are no remote desktop license servers available to provide a license"
Do I have to install the RDS User CALs as Device CALs instead even though they are USER CALs?? Did I forget to check a box or something? Please help! We are a Non-Profit and really can't afford Microsoft's $260 support fee when I have a feeling
this has got to be an easy solution.

Hi,
1. Did you create an RDS deployment or just install the RD Session Host and RD Licensing Role Services on your server?
2. If yes to #1, have you set the licensing mode and licensing server name in Server Manager -- RDS -- Overview -- Tasks -- Edit Deployment Properties -- RD Licensing tab? Did you make your RDSH server part of a collection? The RDSH server must
be part of a collection in order for the deployment settings to apply.
3. If no to #1, then please set the licensing mode/specify the licensing server name via group policy setting. For example, you could use gpedit.msc and configure the following settings:
Computer Configuration\ Administrative Templates\ Windows Components\ Remote Desktop Services\ Remote Desktop Session Host\ Licensing
Use the specified Remote Desktop licensing servers
Set the Remote Desktop licensing mode
Thanks.

Error "The remote connection was disconnected because there are no Remote Desktop License Servers available to provide a license. Please contact the server administrator"

Hi,
I have been using Windows server 2012 at my company and generally take a remote access to this server. However, since last few days, I have been receiving the Error "The remote connection was disconnected because there are no Remote Desktop License
Servers available to provide a license. Please contact the server administrator".
My entire work has come to a halt because of this error as all my applications are running this server and their remote access is needed for my regular requirements.
I had tried one of the solutions proposed at one of these forums especially using gpedit.msc but to no avail.
Regards,
Aditya

Hi Aditya,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Agree with the words of armin, please verify that you have properly installed correctly. Verify RDS Licensing service running on License Server. Verify that the client, the RDS server, and the license server can communicate by ensuring that Domain Name System
(DNS) is configured correctly on each computer. You can run the ping command from each computer to each computer using the IP address, FQDN, and the NetBIOS name. If any of the ping commands fail, verify the DNS configuration on the network.
In addition, you can also try “GracePeriod” registry setting on this path (HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\RCM) from
this article.
Hope it helps!
Thanks.

Remote session was disconnected because there are no remote desktop licence servers available to provide a licence. Please contact the server administrator

Hi,
I am getting this error from windows server : remote session was disconnected because there are no remote desktop licence servers available to provide a licence. Please contact the server administrator.
Remote desktop Session Host Server Configuration Details:
The RD licensing Diagnoser(WIN-909xxxxxxxxxxx):
Number of license available for clients : 0
Remote Desktop Session Host server version: Windows server 2012 R2
Active Directory Domain : Not applicable
Licensing mode : Not configured
Now, Down I am getting this error as well shown by the system:
RD licensing Diagnoser Information- 2 errors:
Win-909xxxxxxxxxx : licensing mode for the Remode Desktop Session Host Server is not configured.
Win-909xxxxxxxxxx : The grace period for the Remote Desktop Session Host server has Expired, but the RD Session Host server has not been configured with any license servers. connections to the RD Session Host server will be denied
unless a license server is configured for the RD Session Host server.
Now my kestion is :
Do I need to buy a license key of the windows server to not getting this error or it may continue appear even if I purchased the license and not configure RDS and AD.
Do I need to configured only RDS and AD and buy the license key of windows server later because I still have 55 day of trial.
Do I just buy the RDS client access license (L).
Please could you help on this, am new in windows server?

Hi,
As the message indicates, the grace period for the Remote Desktop Session Host server has Expired, you need to purchase and install RDS CALs. Also, you need to configure related settings
to continue using Remote Desktop Services. Otherwise, you cannot connect to the server remotely.

Control alt delete from remote desktop connection through virtual pc windows xp on windows 7 professional

Ok this is an odd one but I am connecting to a server through a vpn which only works on windows xp so I ran a virtual pc instance to connect, and then did a remote desktop connection to the server (Windows server 2008). I need to be able to activate the
control-alt-delete combination on the server however, to change a password. ctrl + alt + del obviously goes back to my actual machine, and ctrl + alt + end acts on my virtual pc. Is there any way to push the command through to the remote server?

Hi Cooljoe,
Based on my understanding, local machine control-alt-delete key combination is control-alt-delete.
Virtual PC's control-alt-delete key combination is Right Alt - Delete.
Remote Destop session's control-alt-delete key combination is ctrl + alt +
end.
There should be no conflicts between them.

To install Remote Desktop Services User CAL on Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition with SP1

Dear Sir,
Presently we have installed Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition with SP 1. And now i would like to install Remote Desktop Services User CAL on this server. I have 25 digit product key of Windows Server
2008 R2 Remote Desktop Services User CAL (20). Downloaded this product key from our MSDN Subscriptions.
Kindly suggest me how to install (CAL server with product key that i have) and configure remote desktop services on my above existing server also how to point other server with my CAL server.
Thanks

Hi,
1. Install Remote Desktop Session Host and Remote Desktop Licensing Role Services using Server Manager.
2. Open RD Licensing Manager (licmgr.exe), Activate your server, then install your license
3. In RD Session Host Configuration (tsconfig.msc), set the Licensing mode to Per User and Specify your RD Licensing server name (itself). If you want you may configure these two settings via group policy setting instead. The path of the
group policy settings is Computer Configuration\ Administrative Templates\ Windows Components\ Remote Desktop Services\ Remote Desktop Session Host\ Licensing
4. You may point other RDSH servers to your RD Licensing server using RD Session Host Configuration or via group policy as mentioned above.
5. Optionally you may consider installing other Remote Desktop Role Services such as RD Gateway, RD Web Access, RD Connection Broker, etc.

How to install the Remote Desktop Services role on a Windows 2012 R2 Server

Hello,
I am a bit confused on how to install the RDP role on a 2012 R2 server. I have a two server domain and would like to make the second member server an RDP server to host applications (Word, Excel, a medical software, etc.) where users from their windows
7 desktop will use the Remote Desktop Connection to connect to the server, create a session and do their work. When installing the role, I am prompted with two options:
1- Role-based or feature based installation
2- Remote Desktop services installation
I see the RDP install option in both cases.
1- Which one do I use?
2- What role services do I install? (Connection broker, Gateway, Licensing, Session Host, Virtualization host and Web access). I think I need the first four only.
3- When installing software after RDP, I use the Change user /install and Change user /execute commands. What happens to the software that is already installed? Can remote
users use those?
Any help will be very much appreciated.
Thank You,
Victor.

TP,
Thank you for your response. I added the RD Licensing thru the Role-based option.
Also opened the local group policy thru gpedit.msc and added the server name and the licensing mode type to Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Remote Desktop Services -> Remote Desktop Session
Host -> Licensing
Use the specified RD license servers = NameOfMyServer
Set the Remote Desktop licensing mode = TypeOfMyLicense (Per User in my case)
Thank you again,
Victor

Remote desktop connection not working in windows 7 Pro x64 bit sp1 3389 port not working

i have still facing same problem in last two week in my system RDC not working . i have installed in my system windows 7 x64 bit Pro sp1 then i check 3389 port working or not in my system use the command netstat -a -o command in
command prompt but this is my bad luck its not woking in my machine after i have decide to change RDC listening port via registry i have change it 3389 to 3391 after restart my system, and
after again testing using same command but no any change again rdc not listening . After i have search this issue on search engine google bing and microsoft , i have found more solutions but i have try one
uninstalled two microsoft updates first is kb KB2621440 second is KB2667402 and after again restart my system and again installed KB 2667402 But not change i have already enabled Remote Desktop connection in windows 7 and select the option

Hi,
When you try to start the Remote Destop Connection, what errors it showed out?
Could the other PCs connect this PC with the RDC?
So you have read this blog?
RDP connections might fail due to a problem with KB2621440 - MS12-020
Did you reinstalled the KB2621440?
Besides, did you follow this guide to enable the RDC connection?
Connect to another computer using Remote Desktop Connection
And also this guide?
Why can’t I connect using Remote Desktop Connection?
Please take a check with those settings again.

Remote Desktop Connection Mouse Slow with Windows 2012

Hello:
I am connecting to a customer site with Citrix and using Citrix's Remote Desktop. I know this may be a Citrix issue but not sure. Customer isn't helping so thought I would check here.
I have two connections to computers in their network with Remote Desktop. One is to a Windows 2003 Server which works fine. When I connect to Windows 2012 the mouse is slow. I tried adjusting the mouse settings but it doesn't help.
Has anyone else experienced this? Is it an issue specific to Citrix or to Remote Desktop in general?
Thanks,

check out this blog, it's for virtual PC though but also using RDP.
just try it out whether it helps or not

IOS App 8.1.5 Remote Desktop can't connect to Windows 7 Pro after upgrade. Error 0x00000507

Nothing has changed between my network, Windows 7 computer or my iPad besides the upgrade of the ios app software to 8.1.5. Did not used to have any issues connecting but now when I try to connect, I get the above error when logging in.
I have tried reinstalling the ios app with no success and also confirmed I can still remote desktop to the PC from another PC with the credentials I've always been using.
I've also tried explicitly including the domain when entering the username with no luck. Looked through my Windows 7 event logs and can't find any more information on what this error means.
Has anyone seen anything similar or have any ideas what I can do to troubleshoot? Thanks!

Hi,
I have a same problem.
Although RD Client 8.1.4 worked great, now I cannot connect to Windows 7 Professional computer from my iPhone 5 (iOS 6.1.4) since the latest update.
Same as Twiggles, when I try to log in (just after entering username and password), the app gives me error code 0x507 "Disconnected from server".
Note that I connect to my PC over VPN using Cisco AnyConnect app.
After that, I've tried to connect to my PC in two different ways with same network settings as the above situation.
1. Use different remote app
I've tested free version of "PocketCloud" from Dell Wyse, and I CAN connect to my PC.
2. Use different version of iOS
I've tested the latest RD Client 8.1.5 on my another iPhone (5s) with iOS 8.1, and I CAN connect to my PC.
Therefore, I assume our 0x507 is not setting related, but probably some sort of iOS version dependent problem arise from the latest update.
Even though I tried PocketCloud, I believe RD Client is the BEST app for remote desktop for iOS.
I strongly hope this problem will be solved!
Thanks.
