RDS 2012 and Credential Manager

Hi,
We have a customer with a RDS Cluster (Windows 2012) which consists of 4 RDS Session Servers.
Some of the users are complaining that their passwords are not stored in Internet Explorer 10.
we did some digging into this and found out that it's because of the fact that Credential Manager is storing the passwords locally on the RDS server the user currently is logged in to. when the user get's redirected to another RDS server the passwords are
gone.
Is there a workaround for this? or is there some way to change the Credential Manager store location?

Hi Pascal,
Agree with words of “panagiotis” as no way to backup. There is way where you can save the credentials with user login script but for that also credential will not roam. You can check
this thread for information.
Hope it helps!
Thanks.

[Forum FAQ] Restrict number of Active Sessions in RDS 2012 and 2012 R2

As everyone knows with the introduction of Windows Server 2012 & 2012 R2, there are various changes and no more availability for RDSH configurations or Remote Desktop Service Manager;
now we can manage all the settings under Server Manager and group policy.
Configuration 1: Remote Desktop Timeout settings:
Here, we will see the Remote Desktop timeout settings. You can maintain the settings under below mention path (Figure 1 and Figure 2).
Open the
Server Manager, select Remote Desktop Services.
In Remote desktop Services, in right side you can drop down to
collections.
Select the
collection which you want to edit the settings.
Under
collections Properties, select Task and then Edit Properties.
In Properties dialog box, select
Session.
You can find all the
timeout settings under session collection properties; edit according to your requirements and then
OK.
Figure 1: Selecting Collection Properties
Figure 2: Configuring screen for Timeout and reconnection Settings
Group policy setting:
The same settings can also be applied by Group Policy.
You can also configure timeout and reconnection settings by applying the following Group Policy settings, you can check the figure 3 for graphical view.
Set time limit for disconnected sessions
Set time limit for active but idle Remote Desktop Services sessions
Set time limit for active Remote Desktop Services sessions
End session when time limits are reached
In addition to this another group policy available with the help of which you can bale to set time limit for logging off the RemoteApp according to our desired time. This setting
can be applied with addition to above mentioned policy.
Set time limit for logoff of RemoteApp Sessions
These Group Policy settings are located in the following locations:
Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Session Time Limits
User Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Session Time Limits
These Group Policy settings can be configured by using either the Local Group Policy Editor or the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC).
Note:
These Group Policy settings will take precedence over the settings configured in Remote Desktop Session Host Configuration. If both the Computer Configuration and the User Configuration policy
settings are configured, the Computer Configuration policy settings take precedence.
Figure 3: Group Policy for setting Timeout and reconnection setting
Configuration 2:
Restrict & Enable user to a single & multiple session
Under Windows Server 2012 & 2012 R2, there is no specific setting under RDP-TCP as it is not available.
Restrict User to Single session:
To restrict the user to single session (Disable Multiple RDP Session) you can configure the setting under group policy (Figure 4).
Computer Configuration\ Administrative Templates\ Windows Components\ Remote Desktop Services\ Remote Desktop Session Host\ Connections
Restrict Remote Desktop Services users to a single Remote Desktop Services session     Enabled
Figure 4: Group policy for Restrict user to Single session
Enable user to multiple session:
To enable the user to multiple session you can configure the setting under below (Figure 5).
Computer Configuration\ Administrative Templates\ Windows Components\ Remote Desktop Services\ Remote Desktop Session Host\ Connections
Restrict Remote Desktop Services users to a single Remote Desktop Services session     Disabled
Figure 5: Group Policy for Enable user to Multiple Session
In addition you can also edit the registry setting for allowing multiple RDP session as per below (Figure 6).
HKEY_Local_Machine\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server
fSingleSessionPerUser     REG_DWORD     0x00000000
Note: By default the registry value is set to 1, but you need to change to 0.
Figure 6: Display the registry settings
Also you can edit the policy “Limit number of connections” and set RD Maximum collection as per your company
requirements (Maximum limit: 999999) for above mention group policy path (Figure 7).
Figure 7: Group Policy for Limit number of Connections
Apart from this, if you have not specified any policy or registry setting and still you want to restrict the new session, then in Windows Server 2012 & 2012 R2 there is option where you
need to follow below steps (Figure 8 and Figure 9).
Right click a Remote Desktop Session Host in specified location of Host Server and select “Do not allow new connections”.
After clicking that it will ask you for your confirmation, click yes and no new connection will be allowed.
Figure 8: Setting displaying “Do not allow new connections”
Figure 9: Confirmation popup
RD Gateway Connection Properties:
If you have deployed RD Gateway under your environment you can also limit the number of simultaneous connections through RD Gateway by configuring
policy under RD Gateway Manager. For this you need to follow below mention path.
Open RD Gateway Manager, select the server which you want to modify.
Right click Properties.
Under General Tab
-Limit maximum allowed simultaneous
connections to:Specify the number of connection you want to able to provide connection.
-Allow the maximum
supported simultaneous connections:This
setting will allow maximum supported connections at a time.
-Disable new connections:This
setting will not allow new connections through RD Gateway but Active connection will not be automatically disconnected.
Select the option as per requirement which able to allow the connection
Figure 10: Connections setting under RD Gateway Manager
Configuration 3: Configure keep-alive connection interval
As per above mention in initial post you can able to change the setting for Keep alive connection interval. In addition to this also verify the
registry setting must be set as per following (Figure 11 and Figure 12).
HKEY_Local_Machine \ SOFTWARE \ Policies \ Microsoft \ Windows NT \ Terminal Services
KeepAliveEnable       REG_DWORD           0x00000001 (1)
KeepAliveInterval
REG_DWORD           0x00000001 (1)
Figure 11: Group Policy setting for Keep alive
Figure 12: Registry setting for keep alive
If you need further assistance, welcome to post your questions in our
Remote Desktop Services (Terminal Services) forum.
If you would like to achieve this in Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2, please move on to the next post.

Applies to Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2
Configuration 1: Remote Desktop Timeout settings:
1. Open the property dialog for RDP-Tcp connection in Remote Desktop Services Manager.
2. In the Sessions tab, you can configure the following settings:
Active Session Limit
Idle session limit
Action when session limit is reached or connection is broken
End a disconnected session
Additionally, you can configure the settings with the help of Group Policy also by below mention path.
Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Session Time Limits
User Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Session Time Limits
Configuration 2: Restrict each user to a single session
By using this configuration or policy setting, each user can only maintain one session to the certain terminal server; when another session is started by the same user, the original one will
lose the connection. In that way, the total number of possible active sessions won’t exceed the total remote users. You can implement this as below mention steps.
Remote Desktop Host (RDP-Tcp) configuration:
Edit Settings – Restrict each user to a single session: Yes
Group Policy: Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop
Services (Terminal Services)\Remote Desktop Services Session Host (Terminal Server)\Connections\
Restrict Remote Desktop Services (Terminal Services) users to a single remote session:    Enabled
Configuration 3: Configure keep-alive connection interval
By specifying the minutes that the TS holds a remote session actually disconnected, the server will detect the session status after each period. The session that are actually offline will
be changed to disconnected status:
Group Policy:
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services (Terminal Services)\Remote Desktop Services Session Host (Terminal Server)\Connections\
Configure keep-alive connection interval:         Enabled and Specify the Value

2012 R2 RDS Shadowing from Server Manager - how to view client computer names

Hello,
I have a 2012R2 RDS session based deployment. We have a few generic user accounts for a production environment where a group of users uses the same username to start multiple RDS sessions. This creates a bit of a challenge when support has to shadow one
of those sessions because they all appear with the same name: domain\username. The Connections pane in RDS (Server manager) does not list client computer name, which would be the distinguishing factor. The old version of the RDS console (remote
desktop manager) had this information. Citrix appears to have it as well. Is there a way around this limitation in 2012R2 Server Manager?
Thanks

Hi,
As far as I know, there are two ways.
1. Use the Task Manager. In the Users Tab, you can see the client name.

2. Use the Terminal Services PowerShell Module. With the Get-TSSession in PowerShell, we can get the detailed information.

Team Foundation Server 2010 and System Center 2012 SP1 Operations Manager WorkItem Synchronization fail

Hello,
We are currently implementing a Devops solution with SCOM 2012 SP1 and TFS 2010 SP1 and we would like to synchronize APM alerts with TFS and the Operational Issue WorkItem. However we are not
able to sync anything.
Here is our environments :
Products :
SCOM
System Center Operations Manager 2012 SP1
French
OS: Windows 2012 SP1 Std x64
French
DB: SCOM SQL Server 2012 SP1 x64
Management Pack
MP Operations Manager TFS Work Item Synchronisation 7.0.9538.0
MP Alert Attachement 7.0.9538.0 (We have also try the version in the VM DEVOPSALL : 7.0.9538.1005)
TFS
Team Foundation Server 2010 SP1
French 10.0.40219.1
OS: Windows 2008 R2 SP1 Std x64
French
DB: TFS SQL Server 2008 x64
TFS 2012 Object Model Installer (We have also try the version 2010)
Here is our configuration :
TFS Platform
This a French platform with a project based on the Process Template SCRUM 1.0 alone in a Team Project collection. The Operational Issue import completed successfully. It’s possible to manipulate
Operational Issue for all of its states from TFS.
SCOM Platform
We followed the documentation at :
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj883936.aspx
to configure SCOM Alert Attachment and Operation Manager Tfs Work Item Synchronization. Everything seems to be ok. All configurations succeed. We did not configure Intellitrace collector.
The problem occurs when we are trying to push an APM alert to TFS. When we assigned an alert to the Engineering nothing is synchronized in TFS. There is no error in the event viewer on the TFS
server. But, on the SCOM server we get 2 exceptions raised by Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Modules.Apm.TfsWISync.OMModules. We provide you the log of the SCOM Server in this mail.

According to you, is there a possible incompatibility of the synchronization system with French environments?
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
To monitor the complete TFS infrastructure, you need additional monitoring packs that alert you about a wide range of problems with TFS components. When you import the TFS Work Item Synchronization management pack, it is a best practice to
also import and configure these monitoring packs, you can double check these:

RDS 2012 - Virtual desktop collection with powershell and custom answerfile fails on VDI deployment

Hi Guys,
I try to deploy a new virtual desktop collection with Win8 VDI's (pooled/managed) based on a custom answer file. Everything needs to automated so working with the server manager is not an option, that's why the answer file is needed.
The lab environment is based on Windows Server 2012 and Win8 Enterprise only. So functional level etc. is off course Windows Server 2012.
I Use the following command:
New-RDVirtualDesktopCollection `
-CollectionName "Pooled Managed Win8" `
-Description "This collection contains Pooled and Managed Win 8 VDI machines." `
-OU "VDI" `
-ConnectionBroker "RDSCB01.lab.local" `
-PooledManaged `
-CustomSysprepUnattendFilePath "\\hyper02\_Unattend\OOBE-only.xml" `
-VirtualDesktopAllocation @{"hyper02.lab.local"=3} `
-VirtualDesktopNamePrefix "Pooled-Win8-" `
-UserGroups "lab.local\domain users" `
-MaxUserProfileDiskSizeGB 1 `
-VirtualDesktopTemplateHostServer "hyper02.lab.local" `
-VirtualDesktopTemplateName “_WIN8-Template” `
-UserProfileDiskPath "\\hyper02.lab.local\_UserProfileDisks" `
-StorageType LocalStorage `
-LocalStoragePath "E:\_VDI" `
-Force `
-Debug
$error[0]|format-list -force
I tried multiple answer files, but even with this simple one it fails:

Everything goes fine, until is comes to the deployment of the VDI machines and the answer file is called. It fails with the following error:

This link (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2747656?wa=wsignin1.0) and other sources tell me that when i set the regkeys i can find a log in c:\windows\logs, but there is
nothing. I looked on the management server and the connection broker.

RDS 2012 R2 - Colors and appearance issues

Hi,
We are experiencing an annoying issue with Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard (RDS installed and two RemoteApp applications published). The thing is, sometimes, colors of taskbar, folders, screens...completely turn to black. You can run applications, open files...but
the appearance (colors) is completely screwed up. We don't know what to do about this. We restore the entire server (Virtual Machine) when this issue occurs. Anyone knows about this ?

I'm back again. My issue seems to be the same as this one : http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/44f33bd6-aa45-48cb-b886-352330e3f47c/win2012-std-basic-theme-problem-?forum=winserver8gen
I figured out that my gpo did not work because the parameter "Load a specific theme" works only for users who open a session on the RDS server for the first time. So, i did this to apply the theme GPO to all RDS users, even if they have old sessions
on the server :
- I deleted all users profiles (from computer's advanced settings). Do not delete admins and .NET profiles.
- I ran a gpupdate /force
- I opened a session with a Remote Desktop user, and the Aero theme was perfectly applied.
This is just a bypass solution. A good one is to know how the "Basic theme" got corrupted, and then, find a solution to fix it. For now, i really don't know how this could happened...
For your information, before doing this, you have to install "Desktop experience" on RDS server and create the GPO which apply "Aero theme" for all RD users. This is the procedure to create it : http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/a11255a7-98d8-497d-812d-2e9f936a0901/how-to-change-the-desktop-theme-for-all-users?forum=windowsserver2008r2general
Thanks,

RDS 2012 Connection Broker and Web Access in different domains

Hello!
I'm trying to add Web Access (WA) server to RDS 2012 Deployment. WA server and other servers in Deployment are in different domains (in different forests with 2-way forest trust).
WA server was added to Deployment
successfully without any warnings.
We have many applications published but in this new WA server there are no application icons in Rdweb page at all.
There is nothing interesting in logs on WA server as well as on Connection broker servers.
Is this design
acceptable? Which additional actions are needed to make application icons visible?

Hi,
Please refer below links and cross verify the Web Acess server settings.

SCOM 2012 SP1 Update Rollup 5 - DB and DW SQL script and the Management Packs

Hi,
I am applying SCOM 2012 SP1 update rollup 5 from KB article : 2904680.
Step# 4 and 5 from the "Installation Information" sections says to run the SQL queries(UR_Datawarehouse.sql and Update_rollup_mom_db.sql) located at "%SystemDrive%\Program Files\System Center 2012 SP1\Operations
Manager\Server \SQL Script for Update Rollups\."
But I do not have "System Center 2012 SP1\Operations Manager\Server \SQL Script for Update Rollups\." folder location on my SCOM Management Servers. Similarly I do not have the MPs given in Step #6.
Can someone please let me know from where else can I get these SQL scripts and the MPs. What if I don't run these SQL scripts. Is that OK?

You will find it on below path%SystemDrive%\Program Files\System Center 2012\Operations Manager\Server \SQL Script for Update Rollups\.
inside system center 2012 folder> search to Server folder and inside it you will find SQL Script

Difference between Control Panel Credential Manager and rundll32.exe keymgr.dll,KRShowKeyMgr

Hello
With keymgr.dll,KRShowKeyMgr I can find Lync certificates not showing in Control Panel > Credential Manager. Is there a difference between the two? What would be the explanation for that?
Thank you and regards,
Alex

Hi,
They are the same settings.
If you sign in your Windows 8.1 and Lync with the same account, it will not save the credential in Credential Manager.

Integration Services 2012 - Parameters and configuration management

Our organization has implemented the project deployment model and it works great! It helps has helped us standardize deployment and configuration management. The big plus for us is the fact that we can now run reports on all SSIS
package configurations. There is one challenge though that we have come across. We haven’t found a good way to reuse the same ssis package while passing different parameters from different jobs and still be able to keep the configured parameter
values for each job documented in SSIDB; if you configure each job to pass different parameter values to the same package, the parameters are actually saved under the the job step’s command. The challenge is that there isn’t a clean way to retrieve
those parameters from msdb, unless someone out there has been able to? We need to retrieve the configured values to be able to build a report on all jobs and packages which contain all configured values. This makes our jobs easier when troubleshooting
a problem.
The only work around we have found is to simply create two different packages, one for each job. I have a problem with not being able to reuse a package from a conceptual stand point. I am sure there is someone out there that has come up with a
good solution. Can you please share it?
thank you,
Juan.

Looking for Some Examples / Best Practices on User Profile Customization in RDS 2012 R2

We're currently running RDS on Windows 2008 R2. We're controlling user's Desktops largely with Group Policy. We're using Folder Redirection to configure their Start Menus as well.
We've installed a Server 2012 R2 RDS box and all the applications that users will need. Should we follow the same customization steps for 2012 R2 that we used in 2012 R2? I would love to see some articles on someone who has customized a user profile/Desktop
in 2012 R2 to see what's possible.

RDS 2012 App-V 5 SP2, Applications are not pinned in the Metro Start Menu

Hey All,
I've been building a new App-V 5 Environment using server 2012 R2 for the App-V management\Publishing\Reporting servers.
I've installed app-v 5 SP2 on the RDS 2012 R2 servers and installed the App-V 5.1 SP1 Hotfix (KB2897087) for the 2012 R2 support.
I have run into the following issue; When triggering a app-v publishing sync the applications are only added in the classic start menu. The applications aren't pinned in the Metro Start menu like our App-V sp1 RDS 2012 clients.
I have checked the App-V client eventlogs (including the debug logs) and I haven't been able to find any errors that point out the cause of my issue.
Has anyone experienced the same issue or has anyone got any tips to get the app-v 5 sp2 client on RDS 2012 R2 to pin the sequences to the Metro Start Menu?
Thanks.

This is the default behaviour of Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2 - there are no programmatic ways to pin shortcuts to the Start screen.
Here's a way to customise the Start screen layout: http://stealthpuppy.com/customizing-the-windows-8-1-start-screen-dont-follow-microsofts-guidance/
Here's how to go it with Group Policy: http://www.grouppolicy.biz/2013/06/customising-windows-8-1-start-screen-layout-with-group-policy/
Note that neither approach will help you pin shortcuts to the Start screen for users that have already logged on, without overwriting their existing preferences.

Certificate setup RDS 2012 R2

Hi,
I have set up an RDS 2012 R2 deployment for internal use. I plan to add a gateway server cluster for external access later (RDGW). That cluster will be placed in DMZ and use a public wildcard cert. It will connect external users to the farm. Internal or
Direct Access (DA) users will use the Web Access servers to connect internally in the corp. LAN.
For now, i have the following setup. Web Access role on 2 servers with DNS RR (RDWA). 2 clustered Connection Broker servers (RDCB), two Session Hosts (RDSH) and one licesning server. So a total of 7 servers (+ 2 GRGW servers in DMZ that are not set up
yet).
So, the issue is; I need to set up certificates. We have a CA in an AD top domain (our site is a sub.domain.com). We do not have access to that CA and need to order certs. from our corp. HQ. Ok, but what do i ask for? I need 3
DER encoded binary X.509
certs. That's the info i have. How can create a cert. request? See pictures below.

Hi,
Thank you for your posting in Windows Server Forum.
Can you exactly let us know which certificate you want for your network (Self-signed or SSL)?
As per my suggestion you can use wildcard or SAN certificate for your network which can be used for external network also.
If you want Self-signed certificate for internal use, you can create the certificate from Deployment properties of RDS page or IIS Manager as per below path.
IIS Manager>Server Certificate>Create Self-Signed Certificate>Export the certificate on specified location then select the certificate in RDS installation process.
But see that, the certificate is installed into computer’s “Personal” certificate store with its corresponding private key & it’s added under trusted root certificate authority.
Please check below articles for detail.
1. Certificate Requirements for Windows 2008 R2 and Windows 2012 Remote Desktop Services
2. Configuring RDS 2012 Certificates and SSO
3. Minimum Certificate Requirements for Typical RDS implementation
Hope it helps!

RDS 2012 R2 cannot add 3rd party (parent domain) licensing server

Hi,
I have a RDS 2012 R2 farm and i cannot add a 3rd party licensing server that is in a parent domain (forest root domain - hosted by our corp HQ). I will edit deployment properties for the deployment in the first CB server to add a licensing server in per
user mode. Seemes to work, however no licenses are given to SH servers. Have made GPO aswell to explicitly specify licensing server and mode, however i think this should not be neccessary.
Any ideas?

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
1. In Server Manager -- RDS -- Overview -- Tasks -- Edit Deployment Properties -- RD Licensing tab, please make sure that the Licensing mode is set to match the type of licenses you purchased, and that the FQDN of your RD Licensing server is listed.
2. In Server Manager -- RDS -- Collections -- <your collection> -- Host Servers, please make sure that your RDSH server is listed. If you have more than one server with the RDSH Role Service in your deployment make sure that all of them are
listed. If they are not you may click Tasks -- Add RD Session Host Servers (make sure the servers are part of the Server Manager server pool prior to this).
3. On Server 1, please open an Administrator PowerShell prompt and enter the following command:
Add-WindowsFeature RDS-Licensing-UI
4. After the above powershell command completes you should be able to open RD Licensing Manager (licmgr.exe) on Server 1 if you need to. Please note that it is more important to have the licensing configured properly in deployment properties and your
RDSH servers part of a collection than it is to be able to open RD Licensing Manager on both of your servers.
(Above one quoted from beneath thread)
