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!

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:

Suddenly can't access shared drives on LAN but can access shared folders

This just happened this past week. Prior to last Monday everything had been working fine for over a year. Here's the scenario:
I have a LAN with a Tower Computer, a Desktop and a Laptop. The tower computer has two external 2-bay cabinets connected via e-SATA. One cabinet has two drives configured as Raid 1 (i.e. 1 mirrored logical drive and has the 'shared
name' "Raid1-Array and the drive letter of Z: ), which is a repository for data that must be available to all computers on the LAN. The other cabinet has two individual drives used for backup (stored offsite and only installed once
a week). One of the latter is for backup of the "local" Tower (Drive G: - not shared), and the other is shared for LAN backup of the Laptop ('shared name' "LT-Backup" and Drive F:).
Suddenly this week, the laptop can no longer access the shared repository (Z:) nor its shared backup drive (F:) on the Tower. As a temporary solution for the backup, I shared the laptop's backup folders of F:, and
for some unknown reason the laptop can access those, but not the F: drive itself. When I try to access Z: or F: using File Explorer I get an error message saying:
"Windows cannot access \\TOWER-755\LT-Backup You do not have permission to access
\\TOWER-755\LT-Backup. Contact your network administrator to request access"
All of the computers are in the same "WORKGROUP" and the same "HomeGroup", and I've gone through all the Help & Support texts and have run every diagnostic that I could find, but all to no avail.
Another creepy thing is that the desktop (the third computer on the LAN/WORKGROUP/HomeGroup) CAN access the drives, but that computer is only here temporarily while I'm working on it. In light of this I'm assuming that the problem lies with the
Laptop, but for the life of me I can't figure out what/how.
I'd be very grateful for any/all help to resolve this mystery.
Capt. Dinosaur

any changes before this issue happen? any other device connected and facing same issue
did you check folder share permission setting?
how about you re-edit the setting for user name password

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.

Windows Home Server 2011, How to Turn off Remote Web Access for Dashboard completely?

I have a Dell Server at my House and i thought it would be a good idea to use it to run a website on so, i set up Apache and get it installed. But then every time I type http://localhost/ it would always Come up with the remote web access! So i thought
ok no problem you can disable that in Dashboard. Well i was wrong when i typed http://loacalhost/ it came up with the Proceed Anyways option but sent me to a Big
Bad GateWay. So what im trying to get at is i need to Fully Disbale that Remote Web access or Set a specific Port so it does not interfere with port 80. So does any one know how to fix this or get rid of this issue?

This one may help.

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.

Computers not listed in Remote Web Access site

I have recently completed a migration from SBS 2008 to Server 2012 R2 with Essentials role
It's gone pretty smoothly but I'm having a problem with the PCs I have re-connected to the essentials server not appearing on the Remote Web Access website (they are shown on the WSE dashboard). Is re-using a computer name that was used in SBS 2008
a problem? Some PCs appear for some users on RWA but when I go into the users settings in the WSE dashboard the PCs don't show up under Computer Access, I only see the server members and 1 PC.
I've tried everything I can think of in terms of removing PCs from the domain and reconnecting with a different name.
It's really frustrating I've reconnected 15 of 40 pcs so far, can anyone shed some light on:
a)When PCs should appear on the RWA site for a particular user?
b)Why PCs aren't listed in the Computer Access tab of a used on the WSE dashboard?
Many thanks in advance.

Thank you for your reply.
I had restarted the server twice before my initial post and that didn't fix the issue.
It has mysteriously rectified itself in the last few days. I could connect to the client via RD Gateway even before the problem rectified itself.
I'm not sure if it's related but all PCs and servers usually show as offline / sleeping in RWA even when they are powered on. On the day the PCs appeared in Computer Access they also appeared as powered on in RWA. They have since reverted
to showing as off\sleeping in RWA.
I will be connecting another batch of PCs in the next week or two so will see how that goes.

Tracks out of order when playing album through Remote Web Access

When you choose an album (CD if you want) in Remote Web Access and play it, the tracks don't play in the original order. You can drag and drop to reorder them, but you have to know the right order. Is there a way to fix this or is this just a
failing of the Remote Web Access software? Thanks in advance.

I'm having the same issue. Ever find a solution for this?

2012 R2 Essentials - Anywhere Access will not install. Including Remote Web Access portion.

After setting up 2012 R2 Essentials, I attempted to go through the dashboard's "Set up Anywhere Access" wizard. I was able to configure a domain name successfully on remotewebaccess.com but when the wizard attempted to enable the "Remote Web
Access" feature, the wizard flashes a couple of statuses and locks up on verifying and then the entire dashboard crashes. When I go to the event logs, there is only a mention of dashboard.exe having an exception error. I have also delved into the dashboard.log
file and found the following error where it throws the FATAL crash:
Dashboard.Forms: !!!!FATAL: Dashboard shutting down due to unhandled exception: The 'Get-WindowsFeature' command was found in the module 'ServerManager', but the module could not be loaded. For more information, run 'Import-Module ServerManager'.

---> System.Management.Automation.CmdletInvocationException: Length cannot be less than zero.
Parameter name: length ---> System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Length cannot be less than zero.
Parameter name: length
I have launched PowerShell and executed the "Import-Module ServerManager" along with the "Get-WindowsFeature" command and it returns the list of available and installed features. I have also tried rebooting the server and attempting the
wizard numerous times and all attempts result in the same error above. Does anyone have an idea of what could be causing this? I have searched google, bing, and the technet similar questions but none have a solution that will allow me to use the wizard to
enable the Remote Web Access feature.

I had a similar issue, it does appears to be caused by MyMovies 5.
I removed MM5 but the dashboard would still crash after opening the Anywhere Access tab and when it had been running the 'Updating' status for a bit. going through the dashboard log I found that just under the line about the Get-WindowsFeature error was

There was a couple of line before the fatal error suggesting it could be to do with the remote deskop gateway configuration...
   at Microsoft.WindowsServerSolutions.Common.RemoteDesktopConfig.RemoteDesktopConfigLib.IsFeatureAvailable(String featureName)
   at Microsoft.WindowsServerSolutions.Common.RemoteDesktopConfig.RemoteDesktopConfigLib.CheckTSRelatedRolesAvailable()
   at Microsoft.WindowsServerSolutions.Connectivity.Jobs.TsGatewayDiagnosticsJob.OnRun(DiagnosticsResult result, ConnectivityEnvironment environment)
   at Microsoft.WindowsServerSolutions.Connectivity.DiagnosticsJob.RunAndCatch(DiagnosticsResult result, ConnectivityEnvironment environment)
So I ended up removing the role using server manager, along with the remote access role, and then rebooting the server. I then added the Remote Access role back in by choosing the 'DirectAccess and VPN (RAS)' option.
When I then ran the dashboard Anywhere Access setup it worked.
Other issues that seemed to cause the dashboard to crash was when I released the remotewebaccess.com domain name and then added it back in. I had multiple certificates with the same name which seemed to cause an issue. so I released the domain name again,
went into the certificates MMC and removed any of the goDaddy certificate. then configured the domain name again and the rest of the wizard ran with no issues.
Hope some of this helps...

Cannot access shared folders anymore....

Hi,
We have a naughty problem at the office for accessing shared folders .
We use G5 Xserve + Xraid serving home access to 12 macs.
Our problem started when we updated all machines to 10.5.2 (nor did we have a problem with 10.5.1 or with 10.5.0).
All machines login correctly, fetch their folders with their home accesses located in the Xserve, as allways did, BUT :
·Almost all the machines running Leopard (except two) CANNOT access shared items. They get Error -5002
·The old machines running Tiger (G3 Imac's) acess shared items without problem.
So after many weeks doing multiple tests, we got the following conclusions:
·Problem is not server related.
·Problem si related to Leopard clients , although not in all
·Problem is not related to the machine, but with the account (accounts that can access shared items do it on any machine, and accounts that can't, don't do it on any machine)
·It seems that the trouble is related somewhat with Kerberos authentication, but it's not related to tickets (renewing them is no use)
·If we create new account with new name, it can access shared items
·If we create new account with same name that of the faulty one (renaming the later), it CANNOT access shared items.
We have got a problem in the office, and no clue of solving it.... Have read all over apple discussions over the internet, and although some people have similar issues, they are not as close as ours....
And none of the solutions proposed have solved the problem.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated, cause we are starting to get desperate
Thanks everyone.

new update:
we are able to connect to remote shared folders with a different remote server (dual G4) from every machine
machines who can connect to local server are INTELs, the one who can't are PPCs
makes any sense to anyone?¿

Error in Remote Web Access - "An unexpected error occurred. Please try again. If the problem continues, contact the person who manages your server."

I have set up the RWA and I can log in to the web console with my server account. However when I click on any of the shared folders I get this error:
An unexpected error occurred. Please try again. If the problem continues, contact the person who manages your server.
Does anyone know how to troubleshoot this?
Regards,
Maciek

I had this very same issue with one of our customer's servers that was running Windows Server Essentials. I ended up calling Microsoft about the issue. I hope this helps someone. This originally appeared on my blog: http://techspeeder.com/2014/01/14/remote-web-access-error-an-unexpected-error-occurred/
Troubleshooting Steps:
1. We were getting unexpected errors while accessing shared folders remotely
2. The tech found IIS handlers were missing
3. She went to IIS > server level ( parent level) and added managed handler mapping :
Name: svc-Integrated-4.0
Request path: *.svc
Executable: System.ServiceModel.Activation.ServiceHttpHandlerFactory, System.ServiceModel.Activation, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35
4. Added script mapping:
Name: svc-ISAPI-4.0_64bit
Request path: *.svc
Executable: windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\aspnet_isapi.dll
Name: svc-ISAPI-4.0_32bit
Request path: *.svc
Executable: windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework32\v4.0.30319\aspnet_isapi.dll
5. Ran IISreset.
6. We were able to access resources in Remote access, then.

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?

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.

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,

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 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.
Best regards,
Justin Gu
