The Remote Desktop Connection Broker server could not enumerate the targets for the provider named NULL from the database.

When I try to install Connection Broker on a Windows 2012 R2 Server in a Windows 2003 domain I get this error:
The Remote Desktop Connection Broker server could not enumerate the targets for the provider named NULL from the database.
Pooled virtual desktop collection name: NULL
Error: Logon to the database failed.
I have added both the Connection Broker server and the 2 remote desktop servers (also Windows 2012 R2 Servers) to the "Windows Authorization Access Group" in the domain according to this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/331951
But it still does not work :-(
I keep getting same error....
Any idea what I might be missing ?

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Firstly please let us know by which method you have setup RDS role. You can have more advantage and feature when you will install with Standard deployment instead of Quick start deployment. So if you have setup with quick start option then you can try installing
with standard type and check the result.
In addition, please check SQL server database is properly configured for RDS server. Also check that domain controller properly communicates. Kindly go through below thread for more information.

Desktop Connection Broker Client failed to redirect the user domain\username. Error: NULL
Hope it helps!

  • Server 2012 R2 Remote Desktop Connection Broker, Server Name Change.

    We have a server that was the connection broker, We changed its name and now the connection broker wont recognize the new name.  It continutes to want the old server.  Unfortunately we cant change it back.  Is there a fix for this? 
    We tried the powershell command but it doesnt see the old server name and errors out.

    Hi,
    Changing the name of a RD Connection Broker server is not supported.  If you are able to remove RD Connection Broker Role Service and install a new RDS deployment you may be able to get it working again (with perhaps a few registry fixes),
    but you will lose all of the configuration data associated with your deployment.  If you have a very basic RDS deployment it may not be a big deal to recreate the collections, configure settings, publish
    RemoteApps, etc., as they were before.
    Another potential option if you were able to temporarily change the name back would be to switch to HA mode with the database stored on the local server (in SQL Express), add another RDCB server, remove RDCB from the original (leaving the SQL Express database
    still functional), rename the server, add it back as a RDCB server, then remove RDCB from the second server.  I have not tried this procedure but at first glance I believe it should work, although it may be a bit complicated if you are not well versed
    with 2012 R2 RDS.
    If this is a small environment you may want to consider backing up any data on the servers and then reinstalling all of the RDS servers from scratch.  
    It is possible to manually fix the issue you are seeing by editing the RDMS database, editing the registries of all the RDS servers, and other related tasks, however, I would not suggest it due to the complexity.

  • Server 2012 RDS - Remote Desktop Connection Broker Client failed to redirect the user domain\username. Error: NULL

    Seeing the error listed here.
    The Remote Desktop Connection Broker server could not enumerate the targets for the provider named NULL from the database.

    Broker and Hyper-V are on the same physical machine.
    Any ideas on where to start troubleshooting this?
    Used the happy wizard to create everything, and got no errors.
    I have created a small pool collection, and given rights to domain users. Everything "looks" good.

    I have the same problem.

    Did the same for rds.pool
    Manually added Remote Desktop server into the MEMBER OF tab of
    “Windows Authorization Access Group” via Active Directory Users and Computers. As this domain was Windows 2003 Native when the RDS server was first installed.
    Rebooted server and same issue>
    Checked SQL again and rows had come back.
    Is that what you meant by "delete
    the rds.target and rds.pool with pool id = NULL"?
    Not a SQL guru, so any help appreciated.

  • Server 2012 R2 Remote Desktop Connection Broker

    I have installed RDS on a server named PLUTO on which Windows 2012 R2 datacenter is in. There is a domain controller (domain name: AGROSY) running on a Linux server. We have used Samba 3.6.6 to control the file sharing system.
    When I attempt to install RDS in Server Manager, it states as following: could not retrieve the deployment information from RD connection broker server pluto.AGROSY.
    Then, I searched a lot of solutions, e.g.  and tried as following:
    Enter-PSSession -ComputerName pluto   --> which works;
    but Enter-PSSession -ComputerName pluto.AGROSY   --> which gives the error message as: Enter-PSSession : Connecting to remote server pluto.AGROSY failed with the following error message : WinRM cannot process the request. The following
    error with errorcode 0x80090311  occurred while using Kerberos authentication: There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request.
    If I ping the pluto.AGROSY, it works as well.
    I have no idea how it can be solved, please help me out. Thanks a lot!

    Hi,
    Thanks for your comment. Sorry for late reply.
    Initially please enable the PowerShell remoting in your case.

    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh849694.aspx
    For FQDN name, please see that RDCB is properly configured and also certificate which you have used for RDS environment must be trusted with its private key and must match the FQDN name of the server. Did you seen the certificate has been properly used and
    configured. You can go through following article for certificate and also for configuring RDCB role.

  • Server 2012 RTM Remote Desktop Connection Broker Role Won't Install

    Hey guys,
    I have been searching for and trying fixes for this for 3 days, and I've gotten no where.  Thanks in advance for trying to help me out.
    Here's the situation:
    I have a brand new installation of the Windows Server 2012 Datacenter 64-Bit RTM from MSDN.  This is my one and only server (just my personal one for home), so I'm using this single server to run all of the services that I need.  After a fresh
    installation, I added the AD and DNS roles and promoted the server to the PDC.  Then I go to add the Remote Desktop Virtualization Services (the VM virtualization role).  The installation fails, but I can't find any explanation as to why.
    I've wiped out the OS and reinstalled from scratch at leat 15 times, trying various combinations, fixes, approaches, etc.  including powershell, Remote Desktop Services Deployment, standard role-based deployment, etc.
    Using the role-based deployment, I can get every 'Remote Desktop Services' component to install except the Remote Desktop Connection Broker.  I've tried enabling RDMSUI_TRACING, but didn't get any information at all as to why it's failing.  I also
    cannot find RDMSDeploymentUI.txt log.
    I've also tried to deploy this using Powershell using this command:
    New-SessionDeployment [-ConnectionBroker] <string> [-WebAccessServer] <string> [-SessionHost] <string>
    That particular item does provide some error messages, but they seem to complain about the Session Host not being able to install due to not being able to find the connection string key in the registry for the Windows Internal Database.  However, I can
    get the session host and every other component to install using role-based deployment, except the Connection Broker.
    I've run an SFC scan, which found no issues.   I've also tried applying the one update available in Microsoft Update, and tried it without applying that update (reinstalling between attempts of course).
    I'm completely at a loss.  Has anyone encountered this before?  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Is there a powershell command for just installing the Connection Broker that might provide some additional error information, or any
    information at all?
    I would greatly appreciate any help anyone could offer.  I'm willing to try anything.  Thanks for taking the time to read this.
    Sincerely,
    Dominick

    Also Found this:
    1. You try to install the Remote Desktop Connection Broker (RDCB) on a server that also has the Active Directory Domain Server (domain
    controller) role installed. This configuration is not supported by Microsoft. You need to install the RDCB on a server that does not have this role installed. See: Remote Desktop Services role cannot co-exist with AD DS role on Windows Server 2012 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2799605
    2. If you don’t have the Active Directory Domain Service install, this issue might be caused by the Windows internal database (WID) that
    the connection broker installs and the Windows Update KB2821895. If you have KB2821895 installed, unfortunately you can not uninstall this KB. Try to install the Remote Desktop Connection Broker (RDBC) role on a server that does not have this Windows update.
    Note: There is currently no official communication from Microsoft that here is an issue with RDBC and KB2821895. However, try the RDBC installation
    without this KB and see what happens.

    Close ... before going for a specific Cisco app ... lets find out some details:
    Host we need more details:
    What is your server environment (Windows Server, or Mac OS X Server, or Linux)?
    What security is implemented in your environment - as what is restricted (RDP for all or specifc credentials on all machines? Are you part of local admin group to the server you wish to connect)?
    Does your environment Support CISCO IPSec connection? If so use Settings> VPN and IPSec tab to enter VPN details, if not then go with above suggestion. IF your restricted to RSA then either built in VPN settings or 3rd party app for RSA would suffice.
    Finally, there are many RDP applications out there I use "Mocha RDP Light" (free minimal ads when launched not when connecting).

    Hi Lawrence ! - Many thanks for looking into this thread and replying. Appreciate your help.
    Your reply  ("SSL is enabled/configured, and the certificate being used is invalid
    (or the cert does not exist or cannot be obtained), or the SSL connection could not be established.") is very helpful.
    I've already tested CONTENT DOWNLOAD and it's working fine. WSUS Sync was also working fine for years with proxy server configured on port (8080) and WSUS server on port 80.
    My Guess (this is my best guess ;)) is this something to do with Firewall or Proxy side configuration rather than WSUS. However, I'm not finding a way to prove this to proxy/firewall team. From their perspective all the required port communication open and
    proxy server is also reachable. More over we're able to access internet (Microsoft Update Catalog site) over same port (8080).
    Any other hints where I can prove them it's a sure shot problem from their side.
    Thanks again !!

  • Windows Server 2012 The licensing mode for the Remote Desktop Session Host server is not configured

    Hi
    I have a standard Windows Server 2012 that is hosted in the cloud by a hosting provider -
    This server has been up and running fir 6 months - recently we have been getting a warning
    "The licensing mode for the Remote Desktop Session Host server is not configured" - The Remote Desktop Session Host server is within its grace period, but the RD Session Host server has not been configured with any license server.
    Yet, we only use this with 2 connections as part of the standard licence agreement and this server is not used as a user's desktop only an ftp and web server- do therefore we do not need to purchase any cal licences (we have another server with the same
    hosting company that does not have this issue and has been up for 18months)
    Please can someone advise how I resolve this issue, the hosting company states that I must resolve it as they only host and resell the server licence
    Thank-you
    Richard Steele

    Hi Richard,
    You need to uninstall Remote desktop session host feature. After removing it, you will default two connections which does not need to purchase RD CALs'.

  • Missing cbclient.h - Remote Desktop Connection Broker client API

    Could you tell us your scenario?  What's your project? Is it a WCF service?
    Looks like this is not a code issue.
    Just from the error information,
    it seems that you do not configure the service certificate very well so as to Server was unable to process request.
    I am not completely sure  what the real scenario is, but it might be a problem of that It is a WCF services application,  please check these following articles to configure the service certificate.

  • Remote Desktop Connection to VM does not work after sysprep

    Hello altogether.
    Often asked, but never answered with an applicable solution!
    What shall
    we
    do if
    we
    get no access to a Azure VM via Remote Desktop
    Connection?
    Everything went well: access to the VM via RDC was working perfectly!
    Then
    the idea came into
    our
    mind to create an image of the VM by use of the Azure Management Portal.
    We
    found that
    we
    had to apply “sysprep”
    on the VM.
    We
    did it.
    Then we did not take the image and decided to go on with the VM.
    But if we start the VM we get no access via RDC!
    We tried to find a solution by reviewing the already published contributions by other Azure
    users. But none of the replies marked as answered supply with a qualified solution.
    So can one provide a really applicable solution to us on how to arrange the further use of the VM?
    Thank you in advance.

    There is an issue right now where the VM may start unexpectedly after you have run sysprep and selected the shutdown option (which is normally what you should do).
    http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsazure/en-US/fafb9ee6-1e57-46ba-8440-27467ad986cf/image-capture-issue-vm-unexpectedly-started-after-guestinitiated-shutdown?forum=WAVirtualMachinesforWindows
    But regardless of that issue - you can't use that deployed instance of the VM after you've run sysprep on it. It needs to stay shutdown, then you select Capture to create an image from it.
    If you start it back up, either intentionally, or it is started unexpectedly because of the issue above, it will be sitting at the first interactive screen of setup. RDP is not working at that point, and since there is no console access to an Azure VM, there
    is no way to get past that prompt.
    For other scenarios, you might be able to attach the OS disk of that VM as a data disk to another VM, and while you could do that in this case too, there is no supported method for disabling sysprep at that stage of setup.
    So while you could attach it to another VM to get data off of it (you would have to remove the VM first), the VHD is no longer in a supported state to use as a VM itself.
    Thanks,
    Craig

  • Can I use Remote Desktop Connection (windows server 2008) even if no user is logged in?

    I'm configuring a Server, running Windows Server 2008, to be accessed remotely. Suppose no user is logged in in the server (if it was just turned
    on, for instance). Can I use the "Remote Desktop Connection" feature to log in remotely in this case? Or is it always necessary to have a user locally logged in, to remotely log in to one of the users available?

    If its a fresh installation, RDM might not work at first.
    1. You need to check firewall and allow Remote Desktop. To be specific, communication to port 3389 TCP
    2. Right click My Computer --> Properties --> Remote tab
    Enable Remote Desktop
    Allow connections to this computer
    Click users and grant the permissions for the users. By default, Administrators do have the permission. An also, the users who are members of the 'Remote Desktop Users' security group also have the permission

  • Remote Desktop Connection Broker role fails to install

    Hi,
    I am having a situation where I cannot install the RDS Connection Broker on a Windows 2012 R2 that also has AD DS installed.  I understand with Windows 2012 R2, you should be able to do this.
    I suspect that the Default Domain Controller Policy might be a factor in this, but I have modified the "Log on as a Service" right to include the "NT SERVICE\ALL SERVICES" user as directed in article
    2832204. The issue persists.
    I have reviewed the event logs and the Windows Internal Database logs, and it appears the hang up is with the installation of the Windows Internal Database.  The C:\windows\wid\log\error.log file shows the following line just before the installation
    fails:
    2014-12-12 11:05:32.54 Logon       Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE'. Reason: Could not find a login matching the name provided. [CLIENT: <named pipe>]
    I am unsure where to go from here, but I tried renaming the C:\Windows\WID folder after a reboot to see if a clean install of the Windows Internal Database would fix it, but it still has the same issue.
    Some more information on the environment:
    Recently added this Windows 2012 R2 DC to a domain that previously only had a Windows 2003 domain controller. There were no errors with the DC promotion.  Windows 2003 domain controller still resides on the network as a DC (for now).
    Planning to install RD Connection Broker and RD Web Access role services to the new Windows 2012 R2 AD DS server. 
    Thank you for any assistance you can provide to resolve this issue.
    Tim

    Hi Tim,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
    Initially would like to say that it’s not best practice to have RDS and AD DS role on same server (Not recommended). There are various safety reason for this case.  Instead you can do one thing, install Hyper-v on physical server and then create 2 VM (one
    for AD DS and other for RDS) in this way you can achieve your goal. Please try to install as the mentioned way and verify whether you resolved you issue. For more information you can refer following article.
