Impossible to connect to Remote Web Access (Win Server 2012 Standard R2 with Essential Experience)

Hi everyone,
I've got a little problem and maybe someone here could help me a little.
I've installed the essential experience role on my 2012 R2 standard server and I configured all the stuff to connect my server via remote web access. Unfotunatly, I the connection doesn't work and i've got an error message like "Impossible to connect
with RWA. Please contact the person in charge of the server".
I spend a long time looking about my problem on google but didn't find how to solve it.
Thanks for any help
Julien

Hi,
à
"Impossible to connect with RWA. Please contact the person in charge of the server"
Did you type RWA URL in IE (or any third-party Browser) and then get below error? Did you access the RWA website
internally? In addition, would you please let me know complete error message that you can get?
Would you please let me know what kind of domain name you use via
Set Up Your Domain Name wizard? When complete Set up Anywhere Access wizard, did you find any error message?
Please refer to following article to check if configure RWA correctly and troubleshoot RWA.
Manage Remote Web Access in Windows Server
Essentials
Please also use the following Configuration Troubleshooter tool that Robert created and check if can find some
issues. This tool will check IIS and Certificates.

RDP via remote web workspace from Server 2012 R2 Essentials on Win 8 Client unable to connect to local printer.

Hi,
Having an issue redirecting to a local printer when using a remote desktop session initiated through from a Essentials 2012 R2 server via remote web workspace on a Win 8.1 client, it doesn't pick up the Local printer, or even give the option of which
local resources to use on connection, just goes straight through and displays the remote desktop on connection.
I know its not a server global policy issue as it works fine on a Win 7 client with the same user being able to print locally whilst in a RD session
Any idea's as to how I can resolve this issue and enable local redirected printing or at least give me the options of specifiying which resources to connect on the local machine at the start of a session.
It's complicated I think as the essentials box is acting as the gateway so I cannot setup a session directly, the certificates are all working correctly so I am confused as to whats causing the issue.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Please try to connect the printer with IP address and check the result. You can go through beneath article might helpful in your case.

2. Double click on your printer, and then double click on Customize your printer
3. Click on the Advanced tab, and change the print driver to the one we just installed.
4. If you wish, you can also click on the Sharing tab, and make the printer available.

Remote File Sharing Options - Server 2012 Standard

Looking for an option for file sharing outside of the office, other than having to use VPN. I know there is directaccess in 2012 standard, however, our machines are Windows 7 pro and machines are only bound to a workgroup, no domain. Trying to
find alternatives as we want to utilize a cloud server for company file sharing. Let me know if there are any options out there.
Thanks, Bob

Yeah, this is for business. So we need a shared solution, ftp is not an option and I we do have office 365 which I believe includes onedrive. The problem is, we need something simple with granular permissions. I don't think any cloud service
offers anything simple as mounting a drive with granular permissions. Dropbox doesn't have it and I don't think any Microsoft services has it either.

Error message when login to Remote Web Access

Hi everyone,
I have a server that is running Windows Server 2012 Essential. All was working fine until one day I tried to login to Remote Web Access. As soon as I type in my user name and password and press enter I am greeted with the following error message:
"Critical Error - Remote Web Access" (this is displayed in the browser's web page bar)
"Cannot connect to Remote Web Access. Please contact the person who manages the server."
I don't know how to fix this problem. I only get this error page when entering the correct login.
I will be very grateful if anyone knows hot to get around this.
Thanks!

Hi John:
Before we get too worried, try "other user" then domain-name\user-name and pw.
Try that and let us know.
Also, and becuse you should do it anyway, run the BPA and fix everthing it finds, look through the event viewer for error messages, and run the BPA from right side under the devices tab.

Remote web access gives critical error on log in

SBS 2011 Essentials does set up the domain when using the custom domain at remotewebaccess. Now however, when I try to log in on the website it gives me this error: Cannot connect to Remote Web Access. Contact the person who manages the server. Remote
Web Access is enabled for all accounts, and I have tried to log into several of them but get the same message.
Jeremiah Doggett

OK... time for more information about your setup.
What router are you using?
Is there more than one router on the network (including a modem-router if this is a DSL Internet connection)?
What is the OS of the external computer through which you are trying to access RWA?
What are the OS(s) of the network computers at the office?
>>Ok, just created a test user with admin rights, I can still login to mobile site, but on the desktop version I get the same error!
So, using an external computer (not an IPhone), you can successfully log into RWA but cannot access (remotely control) any workstations on the network?
Are you getting any certificate errors?
Is 'Remote Desktop' enabled on each network workstation?
And maybe check out this thread: (turned out to be a permissions issue for the original poster)

Can't connect to computer in remote web access

I am running sbs 2011 essentials and have been able to remotely log in to the remote web access page. Once I get there I can see all the shared folders on the server (and access them) and I can also see the computers available for access (my computer
and the server). I can access the server dashboard by logging in as the server administrator (by using domain\admin) and then in a second login as a user (domain\user "with administrative rights"). However, when I go to logon to the client
computer, I receive the error "Remote Desktop cannot find the computer "client". This might mean that client doesn't belong to the specified network. Verify the computer name and network that you are trying to connect to."
Do I have a DNS problem since I can connect to the SBS 2011 Essentials server?

Hi,
Are you facing issues with all the client machine connection? On the workstations make sure Remote Desktop feature is enabled
Make sure windows firewall service is enabled and inbound rule for allow RDP is enabled.

Small Business Server 2011 Essentials Remote Web Access fails to connect to Windows 8.1 PC

I am using Remote Web Access (RWA) gateway with Small Business Server 2011 Essentials.
There are several workstations all running Windows 7, and have been using RWA without an issue for well over a year.
There is now a Windows 8.1 Pro PC added to this domain, but the Remote Desktop does not connect.
The Windows 8.1 PC appears in the RWA pages, It requests the credentials to connect, and then fails with the following error:
Remote Desktop can't find the remote computer "COMPUTERNAME". This might mean that the "COMPUTERNAME" does not belong to the specified network. Verify the computer name and domain that you are typing to connect to.
I can connect to all other PC fine (running Windows 7). I have tried from different locations and PC's and the results are the same.
I thought I had fixed this problem a few weeks back. After running all updates on the server and Windows 8.1 PC, and rebooting both, the RDP worked, but I think it only worked once and then failed the next time someone tried to use it. I have not had
a successful connection to the Windows 8.1 PC since.
I am at a loss on how to troubleshoot this as there are no errors on the system which can't be accessed.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Hi Mr Cheese,
à
I turned off the Firewall on the Windows 8.1 PC and the RDP is now working.
Thanks for sharing in the forum. Your time and efforts are highly appreciated.
Based on your description, this issue is related to Firewall. Would you please let me know current situation
of this issue?
Just addition. Please open Control Panel, select Windows Firewall and click Allow an app or feature through
Windows Firewall. Then please check if Remote Desktop is allowed. Meanwhile, please click Advanced settings in Windows Firewall panel and click Inbound Rules, then check if rules which be related to Remote Desktop were enabled.
If any update, please feel free to let me know.
Hope this helps.

How do I change the URL to the Remote Web Access server in Windows Server 2012?

Hallo!
I have set up a Remote Dexktop Service using the "Quick" deployment method in Server Manager and everything is working greate internally, but I cannot start an app published in Remote Web Access from outside our network.
The problem is that it wants to start the using the internal URL, for example, server.domain.local, instead of the external one, for example remote.server.com.
I therefore want to know how I can change the default URL for the Remote Web Access server and all the Remote Web Apps in Windows Server 2012?
I have allready looked in Server Manager and I can change some of the deployment settings in server manager, but there is no way to alter the URL of the Remote Web Access server. See below images:
Pressing the internal URL only results in opening the internal URL.
This was very simple to do in Windows Server 2008 R2 using the tsconfig tool, but it does not seam to be any way of solving this in server manager.
A possible sollution would be to alter the registry someware in HKLM->Software->Microsoft->Windows NT->Terminal Services. But this can easaly lead to problems due to wrong format, etc. and is probably not supported.
Is there a simpler and supported way?

That option can be used to connect to any machine that you want. The error message indicates that the client machine cannot resolve the name "server.domain.local" to an IP address that it can connect to.
You have several options for configuring that tab on the RDweb site. You can even remove it entirely.
Customization of RD Web Site
RD Web provides a number of customization options for the RD Web interface, including the ability to control default Gateway server settings and redirection settings. These settings
are controlled by editing the web.config file located in %SYSTEMROOT%\Web\RDWeb\Pages.
Displaying Local Help
To display local help for users instead of the web-based help, edit the LocalHelp value and change the value from false to true.

<add key="LocalHelp" value="false" />
When this value is changed, a user that clicks on Help in the upper right corner of the RD Web login page will open the local help file instead of web-based help.
Hiding the Connect to a Remote PC Tab
The RDWeb page
Connect to a Remote PC tab can be hidden from users to prevent connections to any servers through RD Web other than the servers configured in a collection. By default, this setting is set to true and the
Remote Desktops tab is displayed. To hide the tab, set the value to false.

<add key="ShowDesktops" value="true" />
When the value is set to false, a user will not see the Connect to a Remote PC tab when logged on to the RD Web page
RD Gateway Settings
If the Connect to a Remote PC tab is enabled, an administrator can configure RD Web to use a Gateway server when connecting to remote computers. To specify a gateway, edit the below
value with the name of the RD Gateway server:

<add key="DefaultTSGateway" value="" />
The default authentication method for the RD Gateway server can also be configured by editing the following section of the web.config:

<add key="GatewayCredentialsSource" value="0" />
Devices and Resources
By default, only Printers and Clipboard are redirected on connections made using the Connect to a Remote PC tab. If the user clicks the
Options << button, the redirection settings for a specific connection can be modified
To configure each specified redirection option to be enabled or disabled by default, edit the following section in the web.config file:

<add key="xPrinterRedirection" value="true" />
<add key="xClipboard" value="true" />
<add key="xDriveRedirection" value="false" />
<add key="xPnPRedirection" value="false" />
<add key="xPortRedirection" value="false" />
LAN Experience Defaults
Windows Server 2012 RD Web Access can display a new user selectable option for optimizing the connection for a LAN experience. This option is displayed at the bottom of the RD Web
page and can be controlled by the administrator using the following section of the web.config file:

<add key="ShowOptimizeExperience" value="false" />
<add key="OptimizeExperienceState" value="false" />
This value is set to false by default, but when changed to true, the following checkbox will display at the bottom of the webpage. The LAN experience
checkbox can also be set as enabled by default.
Each setting can also be modified using the IIS Manager user interface:

Map a drive to the Remote Web Access - Shared Folders

All companies love Remote Web Access. No need for VPN for access to remote desktop and the "private skydrive" Shared Folders.
Is there anyway to map a drive to these "private skydrive" Shared Folders? you can map a drive to the real skydrive and to Sharepoint so surely it is possible?

The trick that I found was to upgrade my file server to server 2012 R2 and configure iSCSI Target for the resource I wanted to access by RWA. On my RWA Server I then used the iSCSI initiator to connect to that Target. This makes the shared drive appear
as if it is a native drive on the RWA server. Once this was done I configured that drive, or a folder within that drive for access with RWA. It has worked perfectly ever since.
Trust but verify!

Questions regarding Outlook Web App, Remote Desktop, Remote Web Access and VPN Access

Hi there,
I want to ask a series of questions regarding Outlook Web App, Remote Desktop, Remote Web Access and VPN access and was hoping whether you could help me. Below are my questions to ask you.
Outlook Web App - What do I need to configure in order to get my Exchange account to work with the OWA app on my iPhone? Is Office 360 required on the server that hosts Outlook Web App in our organisation? When I configure the settings and
connect I get the following message "couldn't connect - We couldn't connect to the server. Check your information and make sure it's correct." I can connect with other devices using Outlook Web App.
Remote Desktop - What do I need to configure in order to connect to my computer at work using Remote Desktop on my Windows Phone? When I configure the settings and connect I get the following message "Connection error - We couldn't connect
to the remote PC. Make sure the PC is turned on and connected to the network, and that remote access is enabled. Inquiring minds may find this error code helpful: 0x204" I can connect with other devices using Remote Desktop. There are currently no
RD Server settings in the Remote Desktop app on the Windows Phone and the only way I'm to connect to my PC at work is via Remote Desktop and not to be confused with the one by Microsoft, however the app is on a trial basis and times out every 5 minutes and
can only be used once every hour unless I purchased the app for £2.99 off the App Store but would ideally like to use the Microsoft Remote Desktop app though.
Remote Web Access - What do I need to configure in order to get Remote Web Access on my Windows Phone using a URL? When I log in using a URL I get the following message "There is a problem with this Web page. Please contact the person who manages
the server" I can connect with other devices using Remote Web Access. Also how do you enable the background option for Remote Web Access? I know how to do this in Remote Desktop but not in Remote Web Access. Remote Web Access works on PCs regardless
being onsite and offsite and on my iPhone, the same issue also occurs with my Nokia 5230s regardless of whether I'm using Opera Mobile or Mini or the latest Nokia Browser.
VPN access - How do you configure VPN access on a Windows Phone using VPN? I cannot find the protocols PPTP, L2TP, SSTP and IPsec in order to configure VPN access on the Windows Phone apart from IKEv2.
Many thanks,
RocknRollTim

Any help would be much appreciated.
Kind regards,
RocknRollTim

Windows 8 PC not able to remote desktop via Remote Web Access

Windows 8.1 PCs cannot initiate a Remote Desktop session to Windows 7 PCs via Remote Web Access running on Windows Server 2012 Essentials. The Windows 8.1 PC can Remote Desktop to the Windows 7 PC by IP using a VPN, and can connect using
the "Remote Desktop to the Computer" option under Devices in the WSE Dashboard.
All PCs and the server have all Windows updates applied. Specificallly, the Windows 7 PC has KB2574819 is installed and the RDP Policy 8.0 has been activated using local group policy. NLA is not active.
Given that direct Remote Desktop connections work OK but not RDP proxy session, it would appear that the problem has to do with the RD Proxy on Windows Server Essentials.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Does anyone have any troubleshooting tips on how to trace this problem down?

Hi,
Please check if there is any error in the remote desktop service log both on the Windows 8.1 client and server sides. You can find the log under Applications and Services logs – Microsoft
– Windows – TerminalServices.
Thanks.

Small Business Server 2011 Remote Web Access RDP doesn't work.

I have setup Windows small business server 2011 and a separate Terminal Server on a Windows Server 2008 r2 box.
Remote Web Access webpage works fine, I can check email and view network drives online. The problem I have is that I cannot connect to any computer using the Connect button.
When I click connect button, a file is downloaded. e.g. QITS.Rdp is downloaded.
Once I run the QITS.rdp, it will ask me for credentials. I input it and will get the following error.
I do not know where to start to look for this problem. Anyone can shed some light?
Toby

Hi Toby,
Just an addition. Did you use an administrator account to logon the RWA and then connect to the remote computer?
Did encounter the same issue?
Meanwhile, please refer to following threads and check if can help you.

Gateway - Unable to connect via IP (Netbios, FQDN work fine)
If any update, please feel free to let me know.
Hope this helps.

Problems setting up Remote Web Access in Windows Storage Server 2008 R2

We just bought a WD Sentinel DX4000 Storage Server and went through the Remote Web Access wizard. It setup the router just fine but when we got to the setup your domain name we have been having
headaches ever since. We chose the option to use our own domain name, which we have registered through GoDaddy. It then showed that yes, our provider was GoDaddy but then it told us we needed to update our service with GoDaddy so we clicked the
"Go to GoDaddy.com" button and it sent us to a page to purchase an SSL certificate. So, we did that but then had issues with it not being able to be managed in our GoDaddy account. So, I went into the domain name with GoDaddy and purchased
a certificate there and got it setup on the domain name with GoDaddy.
The problem is that when I try to go through the wizard again to set up the domain name I still have to click the goDaddy button to move to the next page where I type my domain name, username, and password
with GoDaddy. I setup the remote extension in the A records with GoDaddy as remote.mydomain.com, and put in my username and password with GoDaddy. After I click next it tries to connect to the domain name service provider but then gives me the
following error message over and over:
The domain name was not set up for your server. Wait a few minutes and run the wizard again.
An unexpected or unknown problem occurred. Please wait a few minutes, and then try again.
Well, I have tried this several times and am about to start pulling my hair out. Can anyone please tell me what I may be doing wrong?
Thanks for any help you may be able to provide.

Hi,
Please verify the installed certificate status, you could refer to the article below to install GoDaddy SLL Certificates.

Can't download files on Android from Server 2012 Essentials Remote Web Access

I have two servers, one with Windows Server 2012 Essentials, and the other SBS 2011. Employees like using Remote Web Access to log in from anywhere and have access to shared folders. It works perfect on a Desktop computer, but when they try to
use their Android tablets or phones, and want to download a file (e.g. a PDF) from one of the shared folders on the server, the download fails. When Microsoft was pushing 2012 they said RWA worked great on mobile devices, do I have to set up something
separately to make this happen?
I've completely disabled the firewall, and have ports 80,443,987, and 1723(just to be safe) all forwarded to the server.
I can log into the RWA site on the android, browse files and folders, but when I select a PDF to download, the download shows as if it's starting, shows in my android notification as if its going to start downloading (Shows MobileDownload www.mydomain.com)
but eventually after a few minutes, will time out and show "Download Unsuccessful".
Network connectivity is fine as I can do this on a Windows Desktop PC using any browser (Chrome, Firefox, IE) and successfully download anything I want.
UPDATE: I found this in the event handler when I tried to download something from a mobile device...

Hi,
Before going further, would you please let me confirm something firstly?
Would you please let me know if all Android devices
encounter this same issue? If you download different type files, will still this issue persists? You can upload a small file (such as a text file) to the share folder, then check if Android device can’t download it.
Based on your description, when logon a desktop computer, you will download files via RWA successfully. Please use the user account which logon computer to logon
the Android device, will still fail to download?
Please check if there has enough free space in Android devices that be used to save download.
When this issue occurred, please check the state of Android device in Dashboard. Besides, I suggest you should run the Best Practices Analyzer (BPA) and fix all
it can find. Then monitor the result.
Run the Windows Server 2012 Essentials Best Practices Analyzer
