I'm interested in that issue as well as a lot of our Clients would like to deploy Adobe Creative Cloud apps in their Enterprise. As I'm a Citrix virtualization engineer I'd like to have an official Statement from Adobe whether or not their products can be licensed and installed on either Citrix XenDesktop (formerly XenApp) Servers and/or virtual Desktops (VDI Environment). This questions Needs answering from both a licensing as well as technical Point of view. So please Adobe, share your knowledge with us.

Options for deployment via Remote Desktop Services / Terminal Server
Currently we have volume licenses for CS which is deployed via remote desktop services in a multi-server load balanced farm.
When reaching out to support, they informed me that CC cannot be deployed via RDS/terminal services.
Seeing that CS is discontinued, how does Adobe suggest deployment of their apps via RDS/Terminal services?
The support rep really didn't have an answer for me.
I find it hard to believe that Adobe's going to abandon deployment of their apps in the enterprise as things are moving towards thin clients rather than traditional desktops.
We'd like to avoid needing to go VDI instead of RDS if possible.
I'd imagine VDI would have the same licensing issues assuming you don't want to have a dedicated VM for each user rather than having a shared pool of VMs.
Thank You.The only link I have is http://forums.adobe.com/community/download_install_setup/creative_suite_enterprise_deploym ent
Otherwise, Adobe contact information - http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html since this forum is about the "regular" Cloud -
Users not showing in Terminal Server Under Remote desktop services manager and Task Manager
Hi All,
I have a problem here in Terminal Server. I can not see the users logged in to Server but i know users are accessing the files and currently working.
1. From the Task Manager-- Show processes from all users displayed all the processes accessing by users.
2. From the Task Manager-- From Users Tab--No users list at all
3. From the Command Prompt- Query users-- No information
4. From the Remote desktop services Manager-- used with IP/Host name-- Still can not see the users list and processes. So i can not kill the session if needed.
Enviroment:
TS CALS 20 currently accessing 15 users
VM-WARE GUEST: 2008 RS Terminal Services/Remote Desktop services installed
Windows up to date-- Just updated last month
Problem is here for long time. Just couldn't find the time to trouble shoot.
UMESH DEUJA MCP,MCTS,MCSA,CCNAHi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
As you have tried many steps, I suggest you to try below command line and power shell command if successful in your case. Please try below command with Admin access:
qwinsta /server:<servername>
To kill a session use rwinsta to delete the session specifying the ID number:
rwinsta /server:computer01 3
Here's the list of command line tools for Remote Desktop Or, you can use PowerShell:
Get-RDUserSession and Disconnect-RDUser
Please check the list of Power Shell command from
this link.
Hope it helps!
Thanks,

I am using a window 7 professional service pack 1 and I purchase REMOTE DESKTOP SERVICES CLIENT ACCESS LICENSES FOR MICROSOFT WINDOWS SERVER 2012 STANDARD AND DATACENTER. but the seller did not send me any installation CD or instruction
on how to use it.
Please how can I use it on my window 7 professional service pack 1.
Thank you.Though Bill is absolutely correct for most CALs, Remote Desktop Services does have its own special licensing server. I haven't installed one on 2012, yet, but here is a step-by-step guide for 2008.

Here is a lab guide for 2012 -
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj134160.aspx
But, the explanation of your environment begs the question - what are you trying to do? You say you have a desktop OS and you are talking about Windows Server products. In that light, your question does not make a lot of sense.

Is it possible to get Remote Desktop Services running when in Sysprep Audit mode in 2012r2?
Hi,
I'm setting up some images for 2012r2 and personally like to be able to access the machines via RDP. I have broken out of the OOBE by pressing
CTRL+SHIFT+F3, however, even though RDP is enabled (System --> Remote Setting) and running (Services --> Remote Desktop Services),
when I run 'netstat -a', I cannot see any process bound to port 3389, as such I cannot connect. Have restarted the services just in case, but no dice.
I most the other OS setups (Windows 7, 208R2) this is fine (assuming you update either the password in audit mode or enable RDP login with a blank password), but the fact that nothing is listening
on 3389 means that no matter what I do, I will not be able to connect.
Is there any reason why this is the case?
Cheers
Chris
ChrisHi Chris,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Can you ping successfully the respective server?
Initially check whether there is any firewall rule set which is blocking your connection. Please try to change the RDP port from following registry key and verify whether you can get access.
To change the port assigned to RDP:
Caution: Incorrectly editing the registry might severely damage your system. Before making changes to the registry, you should back up any valued data.
1. On the Remote Desktop server, open Registry Editor. To open Registry Editor, Start Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
2. If the User Account Control dialog box appears, confirm that the action it displays is what you want, and then click Continue.
3. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Remote Desktop server\WinStations
Note: RDP-TCP is the default connection name. To change the port for a specific connection on the Remote Desktop server, select the connection under the WinStations key.
1. In the right-pane, double-click the PortNumber registry entry.
2. Type the port number that you want to assign to RDP in the
Click OK to save the change, and then close Registry Editor.
For more information you can refer following article (Point 2: You may have a Port assignment conflict).

2008 R2 Remote Desktop Services Problems With Older RDP Clients
I recently deployed a new 2008 R2 server to serve as a Terminal Server (Remote Desktop Services) for about 30 people. The new server is replacing a 2003 server. I expected the new machine to be a considerable upgrade and was looking forward to happy people
and less problems. Reality is I am finding several unexpected headaches - discouraging considering the amount of money we have spent on the new machine.
Most of the users connect via HP thin clients, they are the T5510, T5520 and T5530 thin clients. What I have found is performance issues when connecting via these thin clients. I believe the RDP client on these thin clients is RDP 5.5 or earlier. And I do
not believe it is possible to upgrade the RDP client version on the thin clients - I guess they are to be seen as "disposable".
The performance issues are: black blocks appearing when connected - and I have deselected bitmap caching - makes no difference. When typing in certain places the display of the typed characters could not keep up with the user. And lastly I have a weird thing
that just popped up today; where if the user goes to Google it freezes up their entire environment - I cannot even remote control the user/session - why this came up today and was not a problem before I am not sure.
With all of the above issues I have found that the problem goes away or does not exist if I connect to the server using an RDP client on an XP or 7 computer. So I have to conclude the RDP client is the problem.
Does anyone have information on this? Is there anything I can do as far as configuration on the server to allow me to use these older RDP clients? Do I have any alternative other than buying new thin clients?
thanks!From your description, I also agree that the problem may be in the top RDP client.
1.
HP Compaq t5510 Thin Client:
Operating System: Microsoft Windows CE.NET
RDP Client: Remote Desktop 5.1 Add-On
2.
HP Compaq t5520 Thin Client:
Operating System: Microsoft Windows CE 5.0
RDP Client: Remote Desktop 5.5 Add-On
3.
HP Compaq t5530 Thin Client
Operating System: Microsoft Windows CE 5.0\6.0
RDP Client: Remote Desktop 5.5 Add-On
We can try to optimize two ways.
1.
Upgrading Driver – Network for Thin Client
(1) HP Compaq t5510 Thin Client:

(2) HP Compaq t5520 Thin Client:

(3) HP Compaq t5530 Thin Client

Upgrading RDP to the latest version of HP Web site.
Let thin clients use to connect to the Remote desktop server with low load.
(1) Open the Remote desktop client in customer’s Thin Client
(2) Click Advanced option. In choose your connection speed to optimize performance area, you can select the low load option. For example, modem(56kbps).
I noticed that you have deselected bitmap caching in Remote Desktop Client options, but makes no difference. You can try again. Then please remember disconnect idle sessions and rational allocation of resources in Terminal Server.

High availability SQL Server requirements for Remote Desktop Services in Windows Server 2012
Good night,
Thanks for reading this question, I do not write much English.
I am implementing Remote Desktop Services in Windows Server 2012, I need to know the size of the database to create and feature on the .mdf and .ldf, I searched in different microsoft link but I have not received a response.
Kindly appreciate your cooperation and attention.Hi Alejandro,
I am implementing Remote Desktop Services in Windows Server 2012, I need to know the size of the database to create and feature on the .mdf and .ldf
If you want to know the size requirements of .mdf abd .ldf files, since they are parts of SQL database, I suggest you refer to SQL forums below to get more professional support:

Terminal Services (TS) or Remote Desktop Services (RDS) scenario clarifications
Dear Support,
Question:
Do I still need to purchase RDS CALS license? or can use MSDN CALs in the Terminal Server?
Due to MSDN subscribers are End users, do not use Production Data and have to demo their developed applications to other End users group.
Scenario:
1. Use only Remote Desktop Session.
2. End users are MSDN Subscribers. (Although stated by Microsoft End users are non MSDN subscribers)
3. End users demo applications to End users.
4. End users develop their applications and have to demo to other End users group.
From MSDN link:
Client Access Licenses for Terminal Services
With an MSDN subscription, you are allowed to provide end users access to Internet demonstrations of your programs via Terminal Services (Windows Server 2003 or Windows Server 2008) or Remote Desktop Services (Windows Server 2008 R2). Up to 200 anonymous
users can simultaneously access your demonstration this way. Your demonstration must not use production data. MSDN subscribers are licensed to demonstrate their applications to end users,
but Terminal Services (TS) or Remote Desktop Services (RDS) is the only scenario where end users without an MSDN subscription can interact with the demonstration application while the software is licensed through MSDN subscriptions.
Accessing CALs
MSDN subscribers can access CALs for demonstration purposes through the
Product keys page of MSDN Subscriber Downloads. Please access the documentation resources online for assistance with the
Terminal Server activation process. If you have any questions, please visit the Microsoft
Terminal Services forum.

Issue: experienced when attempting to uninstall the App-V 5.0 SP2 RDS client.
Event Log: Product: Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) Client for Remote Desktop Services 5.0 Service Pack 2 x64 -- Error 1324. The folder
path 'C:' contains an invalid character
Symptoms (when in this current state):
Unable to uninstall the SP2 client
You can upgrade the client (via hotfix) and uninstall the hotfix, but you will not be able to remove the SP2 client
AppvVfs filter driver will not create an instance, therefore applications will not be able to read into existing streamed VFS content, or trigger sparse files to stream content. (you can still stream the content via other means, like the UI or powershell)
Because of the AppvVfs filter driver not instantiating, applications that depend on licences that exist in VFS will not be able to be read causing certain applications to react as if the license does not exist or is an incorrect formatResolution:
Check for the existence of a hidden folder named %appdata% in the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Application Virtualization\Client folder. (You will need to un-check the folder options box in windows explorer for "Hide
protected operating system files" to see it)
If the hidden %appdata% folder exists, delete it.
Proceed to uninstall the App-V client
After a clean uninstall and removal of remnants of the client, reinstall the client again and apply the latest hotfix available (Hotfix 2 for SP2 at a minimum). -
Intermittent Disconnects for clients of 2008 R2 Remote Desktop Services
Hello, I have an issue that I am trying to work on for a client who is experiencing intermittent disconnected sessions when logged into a Windows 2008 R2 Remote Desktop Services (RDS) server.
As I mentioned, the disconnect is intermittent in nature and almost appears to be network related, although I cannot find any data in the Application, System, or application specific logs to support that.
The RDS server overall does not exhibit any error, but the user's session is briefly interrupted and then restored. I would like to be able to gain some additional information about what is going on under the hood, but I am having trouble finding any
details on how to turn on debug logging for Terminal Services (er, RDS) on 2008 R2.
Can someone provide some additional details on what kind of logging or other means that I can take on this server in order to gain some additional insight?
Thanks in advance for any advice.Hi,
There are certain reason for which the client get disconnect from the server. The following are some of the commonly seen symptoms:
• You may be limited in the number of users who can connect simultaneously to a Remote Desktop session or Remote Desktop Services session.
• You may have a port assignment conflict.
• You may have an incorrectly-configured Authentication and Encryption setting.
• You may have a certificate corruption.
More information.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2477176
If you want to have log for login\logoff for the client on server end then you can get the information from below log.

Allow log on through Remote Desktop Services Group Policy for Domain Controllers
Hello,
We want to allow our Helpdesk Operators to be able to connect to Domain Controllers with the Remote Desktop Services. This is by default not allowed but according to many sites, it should be able to configure by using a Group Policy.
We made a new Group Policy with the setting 'Allow log on through Remote Desktop Services' and 'Allow log on locally' (as an extra for testing) and applied Security Filtering to only use it for a specific Security Group. Our test user is a member of this
security group and should be able to access the Domain Controllers now. However this isn't working.
The error message we receive upon trying to connect:
The connection was denied because the user account is not authorized for remote login.
For troubleshooting, we also applied the Security Group for that setting in the Default Domain Controllers Policy but that doesn't seem to work either. We want to avoid customization on our Default Domain Controllers Policy but this was just a test case
for solving our problem.
What should we do to solve our problem?
I hope to hear from you soon.
Thanks in advance.Hi, I just found out what the problem was. This site helped me alot:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/askperf/archive/2011/09/09/allow-logon-through-terminal-services-group-policy-and-remote-desktop-users-group.aspx
In my case, I had the group added to the Allow Logon Through Remote Desktop Services but was not added to the Builtin\Remote Desktop Users group. After knowing this I made some changes to our situation and are now using the builtin\Remote Desktop Users group
rather than a new self made Security Group. I also added the Remote Desktop Users to the Allow Logon Through Remote Desktop Service in the Default Domain Controllers Policy as this is not done by default. By default only the Domain Administrators are able
to logon through remote desktop services.
You do not need the 'Log on Locally' permission within the Group Policies.
In short:
Add the desired users/groups to the 'Builtin\Remote Desktop Users' security group.
Add the 'Builtin\Remote Desktop Users' security group to the 'Allow Logon Through Remote Desktop Services' within the 'Default Domain Controllers Policy'.
Thank you anyway for the fast reply.
Have a nice day! -
Hello, dear colleagues.
We are using Windows Server 2012 R2 as Remote Desktop Server. Also use Windows Server 2008 R2 with Remote Desktop Service Manager to control RDS user sessions (Send Message, Disconnect, Logoff, Query Info).
Send Message, Disconnect, Logoff options works only for users in Administrators group.
I can't to configure permissions for Remote Desktop Users, specific user or AD group.
To set permissions I'm running RDS Host Configuration on Windows Server 2008 R2 and connect to Windows Server 2012 R2. Then double-click
RDP-Tcp, Security tab, add specific user account , AD group or configure
advanced permissions
for Remote Desktop Users.
But, as I sad above, these options works only for users in Administrators group. How to make it work for Remote Desktop Users or specific user, AD group?
Thanks.
P.S. If move specific user from Remote Desktop Users group to Administrators group on
Windows Server 2012 R2 - it works.Hi,
You can prevent administrators from changing the permissions for a connection by applying the
Do not allow local administrators to customize permissions Group Policy setting.
This Group Policy setting is located in Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Security
Apart there is one command with which you can set the permission for that check the related
article. Additionally checkthis
thread for more detail.
Hope it helps!
Thanks.
