Cannot "Remote Control" Users in a RDP (TS) server.

So, I have a few Terminal servers (now called Remote Desktop Servers) setup and running, various Operating systems, but all 2008r2 and above.
All of them are having an issue that has cropped up over the last few months. Either in Task manger, or in the Remote Desktop Manger, I cannot right click and select "Remote Control" to see what a user sees. 
As you can see the, connect and Remote control are Grayed out. Although on some of the servers, I can connect, that disconnects the user from the system.
I cannot find a setting that allows me to unlock this ability. 
I am an admin, and I can provide any information that you need.
Thanks!
Rule your day, you never know when it might be your last.

I am remoted into the server, and running the manager from the remote session.
I see the same behaviour from the console session of the server.

  • Cannot remote control clients in another domain

    Hi,
    I have successfully rolled out SCCM 2012 clients with SCEP to machines in our current domain but I now need to do the same to another domain (in a two way trusted forest/domain). I can install the clients without any issue (by adding the DNSSUFFIX argument
    to the client push so it can find it's way home), and they are reporting back in successfully including inventories.
    However I cannot remote control any of these clients from the console, I've added a domain admin account (from the trusted domain) as a viewer and I've added the Windows firewall exceptions in the agent details. I can get to these clients without any
    issues, tracert is fine so I know the routing is good.
    If I try and connect I get the generic "Cannot connect to computer" (after "initiating security handshake"), if I do it direct from the Remote Control client I can remote control the client after dismissing the warning "Remote computer
    identity cannot be identified". But I understand that this uses NTLM rather than Kerberos.
    What have I missed ? I had all this working in SCCM 2007 without any issues so pretty sure the underlying infrastructure is sound.
    Any help gratefully received and thanks for taking the time to read this.
    Brian.

    Thanks everyone for taking the time to reply - I'll put this is the one reply it's easier !
    @Jason
    Interesting about the DNSSUFFIX thing, there are DNS forwarders back to the domain and it seems to find its way home. When I had SCCM 2007 I used the SMSSLP parameter for the client install, I can't do that in SCCM 2012 hence the DNSSUFFIX parameter.
    CmRcViewer.log has been very helpful, I didn't know that one existed - I guess I have some kind of lookup issue going on ;

    The issue is from the console - I can connect via FQDN or IP but get the warning "The Remote computer identity cannot be verified".
    @Joyce
    See the extract above, thanks for pointing me towards this log. I can confirm that the correct Firewall exceptions are in place and the membership of the ConfigMgr Remote Control Users reflects the permitted viewers in the client settings.
    Just seeing if I can resolve the lookup issue, DNS seems to fine ! Unless I've missed something in SCCM.

  • Remote control users = screen goes crazy

    Whenever I try to remote control some users not all. It causes my remote
    control screen to do funny things like it will turn all white and I can't
    see anything. But when I remote control them by their workstation
    everything works just fine. What could cause such a thing? I don't
    understand why it goes all crazy when I select a user but everythings fine
    when I select the users workstation.

  • ZCM 11.2 cannot remote control across WAN

    ZCM 11.2 appliance (sole Primary). There is a satellite located across the WAN at my other office. It is still at 10.3. Just completed upgrading from ZCM 10.3 appliance to 11.2 appliance. I can remote control any PC on my LAN. But if I attempt to remote a device across the WAN, I get an error: "Rights Authentication failed. The managed device was unable to contact the ZENworks server." I tried this too many times with my satellite and now it gives me this error: "The managed device is blocked from accepting Remote Management requests since the number of consecutive unsuccessful attempts exceeded the configured limit." The only cause I have seen listed for this is time not in sync. But I believe I have everything in sync. Any suggestions for how to fix this?

  • Remote desktop users lost overnight on windows server 2008 R2

    We set up a group in active directory to allow certain users access to this Virtual Machine.
    I am able to go into the the remote Users of the VM and add this group from active directory.
    Every Morning i have to re-add this group as it has gone at some point. There is nothing i can see that would cause this.
    Would anyone have any suggestions?
    Thank you,

    Hi,
    According to your description, it seems that the domain Users added in the remote desktop users group disappeared after the reboot, right? What are the operating systems of the clients and server?
    In addition, you can try to add domain users to the Remote Desktop Users Group via Group Policy to see if the issue persists. For more detailed information, please refer to the link below:
    How to add "Domain Users/Group" to Remote Desktop Users group on Servers using

    Hi,
    It is up to you to decide whether you want to use nodemanager or not.
    It does not make any difference if the server is started via script or nodemanager.
    if i want everything (AS, MS, and NM) to come up at server boot i need to set each of them up as windows services (which is what i have at the moment) but this wont allow me to use the node manager ==> Yes this statement is correct.
    You can either set AS and MS as windows service (or) AS and nodemanager as service.
    Thanks,

  • 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!

  • Allowing the domain users Group to SCCM 2012 Remote Control

    Hi There,
    been working on this issue for the last few days now and its frustrating the crap out of me. My company has requested for all Domain users to be allowed to Remote Control to everyone's computer. This is so that users will be able to show each other how to
    use in house application. In SCCM 2012 console, I've added the Domain users to the Premitted viewer tab. I've also added the domain user group to the administrative user section, added the Remote operator role and assigned the
    ALL security scope to it. On another machine, i run the CMRCviewer to this machine and it prompts for username advising me the one i provided isn't authorized. when i check on the targeted machine, i can see domain users populated in the ConfigMgr
    remote control user group
    It seems only domain admins have rights to Remote control in. i've only got one client setting defined (default policy).
    the interesting thing is the following layout
    WINDOWS XP ---> WINDOWS 7      prompts for username
    WINDOWS 7 -----> WINDOWS XP  works
    WINDOWS XP -----> WINDOWS XP  works
    WINDOWS 7 ------> WINDOWS 7     prompts for username

  • Problems with remote control and user accounts - error 1759?

    We're running:
    -XP Pro SP2 clients with Zen SP1 IR3a agent, 4.91 SP2 Netware client.
    -We are NOT running Middle Tier.
    -Novell servers are running Netware 6.5 SP7, E-directory 8.7.3.10b or 8.8.
    -Zen server is also SP1 IR3a.
    We have no problem using remote control on workstation objects. We are having intermittent issues with remote controlling user objects. When the issue occurs, we receive the following error, "Error 1759: The selected user is not logged in on any workstations" even though the user is in fact logged in. After some more research, it appears that the "networkAddress" attribute of the user object is blank so we feel that this is the root cause. My question is what would cause the networkAddress attribute to randomly not update? For instance we had a user (verified his login) who we could not remote via the user object (workstation object worked). We checked his networkAddress attribute and found that it was empty. User rebooted and logged in again and his networkAddress attribute populated, and then we could remote control him via the user object. Now this isn't always the case after a reboot. There doesn't appear to be any pattern to when the networkAddress attribute does or does not update. In fact, this particular user has a laptop so he boots it up fresh every morning yet he was not showing a network address when he logged in initially today.
    We've followed the troubleshooting steps in Novell Documentation without any success. Is there anything else that we might be missing, especially with respect to getting the networkAddress attribute to update? We ran a DSreport on that attribute and found about 500 out of a total of 1500 users had no networkAddress. Some of those are sure to be legitimate but that number is much too high for the number of people that should be in the office.
    I've read some older threads on the subject but none of them really provide a firm solution. Also most of the older threads reference Middle Tier which we are not using.
    Thanks in advance.

    > 4.91 SP2 Netware client.
    You could try this TID:
    "A user will no longer have an entry in their "Network Address" attribute
    even though they are logged into the eDirectory Tree."
    http://www.novell.com/support/viewCo...1262&sliceId=1
    "Resolution"
    "This was fixed in the 4.91 SP3 client. NWFS.SYS was modified so that it
    will check the monitor connection on a reconnect and if it is not connected
    close the connection and try and get a new monitor connection to the tree.
    Prior to the 4.91 SP3 client, the solution is to have the user login again
    so that it issues the NDS Finish Login request again that will populate
    Network Address again."

  • Win2k8 Remote Control Not Working With SRSS 4.2 + SRWC 2.2

    Hi there.
    I have an install of Windows Server 2008 (32bit) with SRSS 4.2 & SRWC 2.2 setup. I was previously on SRSS 4.1 & SRWC 2.1 and having the same issue I am having now, which to me tells me this problem is unresolved or i'm being a total muppet. (hopefully not the last one)
    Windows Terminal Server environments has this awesome remote control feature where you can login to an RDP session which is already active and take control of the session while the end user is still logged in.With Server 2003 this works perfectly fine- it's brilliant. WIth 2008 it is a nightmare. It works for a split second and then closes off. The end users session also gets locked out (not logged out) and they have to put their windows credentials in to carry on working again.
    Now... I can remote control users who are logging in via Remote Desktop on Windows XP/Vista etc.. but I can't with the Sun Ray Sessions. Does the SRWC 2.2 fully compatible with RDP 6.1 or is there any information anyone can give me to point me in the right direction of resolving this issue, like I said.. Win 2k3- Works like a dream....
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Regards
    - Joe.

    I just realised I hadn't posted the logs from SRSS Server with the issues. I have just tried on another WIN2K8 Server which wasn't configured by myself or my company and the same symptoms occurred. See logs below:

  • 11.2.4 Remote Control vs VNC

    I have a problem using the remote control with Zenworks (ZCM 11.2.4.0).
    Before Zenworks, we used VNC (3.3.9) for the remote control, but since the agent deployment many workstations are not accessible via ZCC.
    I noticed this on the workstations in question :
    If we install VNC (official version) in addition to Zenworks, where the Zenworks agent has been installed it will destroy almost every files in C:\Program Files\Novell\ZENworks\bin! As a result, the nzrWinVNC.exe no longer exists and the service 'Novell ZENworks Remote Management powered by VNC' disappeared aswell from the list of running services and therefore I cannot remote control the workstations anymore.
    I do not understand this behavior.
    Is there any effective way to partially restore the corrupted agent (i.e reinstall the RM missing part)? Or otherwise any method that I can follow.
    Thank you.

    If the ZCM Agent works EXCEPT for Remote Control try the following.
    In the ZCC, go into details of the object in the ZCC and configure that
    device to "Not install" Remote Management Components.
    Force a Remote Refresh (or have someone do it manually on the device.)
    Once the refresh is done, Enable Remote Control Components and refresh
    again.
    This process will tell the agent to remove and then tell it to install
    those components. That may help.
    And definitely configure a Remote Control Password via your Remote
    Control Policy and give it out to your techs. That way if they prefer
    VNC to manage devices, they can still do that w/o installing VNC on the PC.

I just imaged a few windows 7 64 bit computers ... installed agent and novell client.. all seems to work just fine with them (ie policies, inventory etc) BUT I cannot remote control them..I Get a failed to connect to server when I try to remote control (both Ip address and DNS name).. I turned off the firewall and that made no difference.. anyone tell me where to look for logs to see why it is failing on these computers ??.. I can remote control other computers no problem

  • Remote Control and Middle Tier

    We have a Middle Tier installed in a DMZ on a separate tree. Logins are ok, Applications are launched and installed, workstations are imported and inventoried however we cannot remote control the workstations.
    At the moment I am getting an 1858 Error message (timeout).

    I've never done it myself, but those TIDs may help.
    And if either PC is behind a NAT'd Firewall, you will likely have issues.
    You could use Port Redirection for the Console ONE pc on your side but if
    the PC on the other side is NAT'd, you will have issues too.

  • Remote control Tool for non-IT staff

    Hi
    We currently run ZENworks for Desktops v7 and have a requirement to
    offer our financial systems team the ability to remote control users'
    workstation without the need to use Console 1. All workstations are
    currently Windows XP SP2 or SP3.
    1. Are there any 3rd party/Cool tools that can be used to offer remote
    control instead of using Console 1?
    2. Do these tools require additional roles/rights?
    Thank you.

    You can use our DSRAZOR for eDirectory/NDS and NetWare product for this.
    See the applets called "ZEN Remote Control / Remote View by User" and "ZEN
    Remote Control / Remote View by Workstation" in the HelpDesk Examples
    section of the DSRAZOR Console. The applets can be customized to your
    needs - such as limiting which containers and/or which workstations are
    shown, and allowing only remote control or only remote view (instead of
    both). After any necessary modifications are made (we can show you how or
    make the changes for you), save the applet as an EXE to distribute to the
    people who will use it. Having the applet as an EXE means they will not
    need ConsoleOne and they will not need the full DSRAZOR product either.
    The example applet in the DSRAZOR Console is based on the user's own
    privileges. If you do not want to grant these users their own privileges
    for remote control / remote view, the applet can be modified to use our
    optional Zero Privilege Helpdesk NLM. You would need one NetWare server to
    run the Zero Privilege Helpdesk NLM. When you load the NLM you will specify
    the name of a group (such as financial systems group). Then only the
    members of that group will be able to successfully use the applet, which
    they will have as a stand-alone EXE.
    An evaluation of DSRAZOR is available from:
