Deploying Remote Desktop Server and Gateway

I have a single Win2008r2 server on my domain that I would like to deploy RDS on and want to add RDS Gateway as well. Can both run on a single server, and if so, is there a documented order of installation of all the pieces?
Thanks

Can Photoshop CS4 be deployed on Windows remote desktop server?

I tried installing Photoshop extended CS4 on a Windows Remote Desktop server (Windows 2008 R2 64bit) and it said it requires at least Windows XP or Vista 64bit as the OS requirement. I can either continue or quit. Can someone verify if this product can be deployed in RDS enviroment?
Thanks

Mark:
Thanks for the input. It worked. Interestingly, I first tried installing CS5 but the install just stopped. I then tried CS4 and it installed without trouble. For CS5, I have a downloaded copy of the software; for CS4, I have an actual physical DVD. I may explore this issue further at some later point. For now, having CS4 run is quite sufficient for testing and evaluation.
I realize that using thin clients will impose some amount of performance penalty, but my expectation is that the overall performance will be acceptable for most user tasks most of the time. I take it from your post this has been your experience. I will still provide a stand-alone machine for the small number of projects where the application is taxing the limits of the computer, and any limitations imposed by Remote Desktop are not acceptable.
Certainly, the software needs to be properly licensed, which Adobe is more than happy to provide. Through the thin client approach I hope to eliminate the maintenance and management headache of maintaining multiple, essentially identical, machines. And, I hope to reduce (by some small percentage) power costs.
We'll see how it goes...

Default acrobat xi pro send mail to default email application and remember my choice 2008R2 remote desktop server

I have 2008R2 Remote Desktop Servers with Adobe Acrobat XI pro. When a new user tries to send a pdf via email, it pops up a message "How would you like to send this email" they have to pick "Default email application (Microsoft Outlook) and Remember my choice. Then the next time they try to send an email, the get a warning "This email will be sent using "Default email application (Microsoft Outlook)". Click on 'Change Preferences' to change your default account settings. They have to Click Do not Show this message again, and then continue. (actually I have a couple of users that have to go through this process Every time they sign on to the remote desktop server),
I downloaded the group policy adm pack and I can not find any settings to default this for a user.
Is there any group policy settings or a registry entry I can make on the remote desktop server to default these settings?
Thank you in advance

Distiller is a different product. The prefs should go under Adobe Acrobat.
BTW, are you familiar with the Admin Guide and the Pref Ref? Acrobat-Reader Enterprise Toolkit Home

Run only allowed application gpo and ie 11 on remote desktop server (terminal server)

I configured win 2008 R2 server as Remote desktop server (terminal server) and I have domain GPO that's applying to this server. when I configure "Run only specified Windows application" IE 11 does not work.
I have iexplore.exe as allowed application.
when new user profile is created it setup and user can open other listed application fine but soon as IE 11 launched the IE windows loads up and after about 15-20 seconds it closes.
if I remove the "Run only specified Windows application" policy then everything works fine.
I am trying to figure out if any other .exe I have to allow in order for this to work properly?
nothing in event viewer about ie crashing.

> "Run only specified Windows application"
Don't use this setting... This only restricts explorer.exe from
launching applications. If you manage to create a cmd file or open a
command prompt, this policy is useless.
Better switch to AppLocker :)

IOS Remote Desktop app and computers connected to SBS 2008--can't get it to work

I can connect directly to the server without a remote resource in the IOS app.
But I'd like to be able to connect to computers in the office like we can through RWW. RWW works fine, but not from my phone. (Yes I can connect to the server and take over computers from the phone but I don't want other people in the office to log
into the server first!).
I can never get the remote resources section in the app to connect. I usually get "Unable to locate any remote resources for the URL". error in the resources section. I've tried a simple "https://remote.domain.com", "https://remote.domain.com:987",
etc.
We have a self-signed certificate. I can't think of anything in the server setup that is anything other than normal.
I can do direct connect using "Remote Desktop Connection" in windows 7. In the remote desktop server settings I just put remote.domain.com and "Ask for password (NTLM)" for the login method. Then on the general tab I have just the
simple computer name and the domain\username. That's all I had to setup to get that to work.
Any suggestions?

Hi Michael,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Have you setup RD Gateway server in your environment? Are you trying to access the RWW through it?
On server side you can choose “Bypass RD Gateway server for local addresses” under RemoteApp manager and check the result.
For more information, you can check below links for detail.

File associations not roamed using Remote Desktop Server 2012 R2 Standard

Hello everyone,
As the title mentions, some File Associations does not seems to roam on a RDS 2012 R2 server. We use the following configuration:
Windows Server 2012 R2 Remote Desktop Server(s)
Roaming Profiles to a user based network share
Delete cached copies of Roaming profiles [Computer GPO]
So there is no local stored profile after logoff.
Exclude directories in roaming profile [User GPO]
We only exclude "$Recycle.Bin" for testing. So all other profile settings (Local, LocalLow, Roaming) should be roamed.
With the above settings, some associations are, after logoff and logon not remembered. For example .pdf is always restored to MS Word even if Acrobat Reader is chosen as default program.
When we do not delete the cached copy of the Roaming profile [Computer GPO], the file associations are remembered after logoff and logon.
We did a little of research:
When changing the default application for PDF files to Acrorobat Reader, the setting for this user in the registry is:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.pdf\UserChoice
Hash: BTWAFQFaLiw=
ProgId: AcroExch.Document.11
After logging off, the NTUSER.DAT for this users does contains the same settings. I guess the settings are successfully roamed to the shared roaming folder.
But after login, the settings are set back to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.pdf\UserChoice
Hash: mj3iGjB82bU=
ProgId: AppX86746z2101ayy2ygv3g96e4eqdf8r99j
My suggestion is these settings are not restored in the cached roaming profile.
Someone who recon this and knows if there is a solution for this issue?
Using a Association Configuration File (DISM) with the Computer GPO Setting "Set a default association configuration file", we can set the default program for the users. But this is a global Computer GPO setting and not all users must have the same
default programs.
Using this setting is no option for our environment.
Hope Someone can help us.

Hi,
For this you can make one separate group for all that users and applied the policy setting which you want to setup. But as per me, windows uses the Local and LocalLow folders for application data that does not roam with the user. Usually this data is either
machine specific or too large to roam. Maybe your thought would be a workaround.

Remote Desktop - Pinch and Zoom compatibility with Microsoft Access

Hi guys, not sure which forum to place this into but here we go.
We use Windows 8.1 tablets and RDP to a 2012 R2 Remote Desktop Server, we can pinch and zoom with Office 2007 Excel, Word without issues.
I would like to know if there is a list of programs that's compatible with pinch and zoom because it looks to me like Microsoft Access (2007 version) isn't compatible with pinch and zoom but I need proof for my IT manager.
Can you tell me if I should be able to pinch and zoom a database windows within MS Access?

Hi,
As per my research there is no such description whether which program compatible with pinch and zoom but still as this seems more relate to tablet question. You can ask your comment over there for more perfect answering.

What is required to install in remote desktop server services - windows server 2008R2 for VMs internet access ?

Hi!
I have a lab with a hyper-v host with windows server 2012 R2 (in workgroup).
I have many vms since Windows Server 2003 including WS 2012 R2.
My colleagues an I wan't to acess lab vms from desktop (windows 7 e 8) trought the internet.
My understanding this can be accomplished with remote desktop server services. What I need minimum
to install in version Windows Server 2008 R2 sp1 (enterprise edition) 64 Bits ? Best Regards
Best regards

you need a small VM, 2-4GB RAM that's internet facing in order to host RDWeb role which runs on IIS. users connect to the web page portal and login, and can launch an RDP session to whatever VMs you have. this requires you to obtain RD CALs.
you can also go with the RDGateway route but it's somewhat more complicated, requiring certificates.
in either case, you need a server with specific port forwarding to the internet through whatever firewall/proxy you have and licensing to go along with it.
it's much easier to just setup a VPN in my opinion.

Whether java component (Not ejb, not servlet) can be deployed in App Server and get the services provided by App Server

As I mentioned in subject, I am just wondering Whether the java component (Not
ejb, not servlet) can be deployed in App Server and get the services provided
by App Server or not?

Nevermind folks - I got it to work. All my configuration was correct; I had other issues with the ejb-jar file that the verifier informed me of (my previous deployments were with the verifier turned-off).

Try this:
• Insert your ARD CD
• Open in Finder
• Right click on the Remote Desktop.mpkg and show contents
• Navigate to contents/installers
• Drag the RemoteDesktopAdmin.pkg file onto the workstation and install
• Run Software Update
• Upgrade to the latest version of the admin application
You may need to completely uninstall ARD and then reinstall it before this procedure will work. Follow these instructions for the uninstall:

How do I activate Office 2013 that I have deployed using ODT and App-V onto a Remote Desktop Server?

I am setting up a demo Server 2012 R2 environment (1 DC server, 2 RDSH servers, 1 App-V server).
I have created an Office 2013 volume license App-V package using the latest Office Deployment Toolkit. I have deployed the App-V package to an RDS server and it all works fine. However, I am unable to activate Office 2013 using the MSDN Office 2013 retail
key because it tells me the product key is invalid for this version of Office. I've looked at the alternative of using the App-V Sequencer to create the Office 2013 package, but from what I've read this is not a Microsoft supported method.
Is there any way that I can activate Office 2013 (volume license on RDS) using the method I've outlined above, or is there any way of using the Office2013 download from MSDN such that it can be packaged by the ODT (or App-V Sequencer) for successful deployment
using App-V and activation using the retail Office 2013 product key on MSDN?

True, VL channel media can't be activated with MSDN Retail pkeys (that's what I was trying to get you to understand, I figured you would be attempting that, as so many people do :(
I've not attempted your scenario myself.
It sounds like you aren't following the supported scenarios as (poorly) described by MS;
The way I read their guide, for an RDS scenario, you must use a VL key [either MAK or KMS] (since a subscription product+key can't be used on RDS):
i.e.: <Product ID="ProPlusVolume">
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2772509
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2915745
http://technet.microsoft.com/library/dn481351.aspxhttp://blogs.technet.com/b/office_resource_kit/archive/2013/12/02/announcing-app-v-5-0-sp2-support-for-office-2013-volume-licensing-editions.aspx
So, that all means that for RDS, you can't use anything other than VL "product" (in
the form of an ODT-generated output) with a VL pkey. So, for your RDS demo setup, you need to use real product and real pkeys.

Can't access SSL-secured web content from Remote Desktop Server

I am running RDS on Windows Server 2008R2. No Remote App or Gateway Services, just straight up Remote Desktop.
After making a RDP connection to the server, when trying to access any SSL-secured website, Internet Explorer displays the error "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" with a button labeled "Diagnose Connection Problems." It's the same generic
IE message that appears when DNS lookups fail. This failure to make SSL connections also manifests itself with Exchange autodiscover not working.
Strangely enough, Administrator is able to make SSL connections just fine, just not any other users. The server is otherwise completely functional.

Hi cyborganic,
To narrow down this issue, Would you like to confirm the following questions:
1.
Does this issue exist when accessing all secured web sites or just some of them? Please try to access
https://www.microsoft.com.
Does it work?
2.
Does this issue exist when a user logs on to the console of the problematic server and then access a secure web site? In this way, we can isolate whether the problem is related
to RDS.
3.
You mentioned that administrator can access properly. As a test, can a problematic user be able to access the SSL site properly if you add him/her to the Administrators group
temporarily?
Meanwhile, Please help to make sure the “Cryptographic services” is set to Automatic Start.
Here, There are some suggestions for
General troubleshooting

Remote Desktop Connection and printing issues

Hi,
I am using Windows 7 on my desktop and also connected to Windows Server 2008 R2 to run applications in Windows Server. However, I noted there is problem with the printer issues. Sometimes, when I tried to print some documents using applications
in Windows Server with my local printer in my room connected to desktop, it won't work.
Moreover, I need to go to Windows Server, Component Service to restart printer spooler so it will work again. This is a pain.
I also noticed there is about 30 seconds wait to process any document to print.
Unlike if I print documents directly from my local desktop computer running Windows 7 and connected to local printer, it only takes seconds to print.
My desktop is connected to Windows Server 2008 via local area network. I should not expect such a significant delay in printing.
I also wonder why printer spooler needs to be restarted when printer is not working.
Can anyone advise me about this? Can Microsoft looks into this problem and release updates to fix the bug to improve the system?
Thanks
Regards,
Clement

Hi,
Please check if you turn on this settings:
You need to set this up just before you connect. The setting will be saved so that you won't need to change it the next time you connect.
1. Open Remote Desktop Connection by clicking the Start button, clicking
All Programs, clicking Accessories, and then clicking
Remote Desktop Connection.
2.Click Options, and then click the Local Resources
tab.
3.Under Local devices and resources, select the Printers check box.
4.Click Connect to start the session.
Make sure that you select your printer in the Print dialog box each time you print.

Prohibit full remote desktop access and allow remoteapp

Hi all,
How to allow remoteapp only while prohibiting full remote desktop access except for some users?
Thanks

I am Microsoft Tech with Platforms Core , I came across this thread rather recently. So as a Christmas surprise it can be achieved rather simply.Please follow following steps...
1. Please navigate to HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\TerminalServer\WinStations\RDP-TCP
2. Change the value of port to anything from 3389.
3. Also change it in remote app manager in RD Session Host server RDP Port to the port you have changed to in registry.
4.Please note it has to be done on all session hosts,redirectors and Connection brokers.
5. Now your remote app continues to work , however RDP done sans the exact port number will not work.
Please feel free to contact me on this.
Simple sweet and logical resolution. Cheers..Happy holidays :-)
