RDS 2012 RemoteApp - Passing Parameters

Windows 2012 R2, RDS 2012, Single server configuration trying to get an remote application to accept the additional parameters to run at desktops.
Here is the command line that is needed to be run:
C:\infor\facts78\pvx\pxplus.exe *plus\cs\client –arg 192.168.110.12;10000 IN4WDX
in the remote app I have entered the following:
General:
RemoteApp program location:
C:\infor\facts\pvx\pxplus.exe
Parameters:
Always use the following command-line parameters:
*plus\cs\client –arg 192.168.110.12;10000 IN4WDX
The program starts on the remote computers, but the parameters are not being passed properly. Am I missing something special to get these to pass through. I have tried putting quotes around the parameters,
but it made no difference.
The software vendor demo's the software via an rdp desktop. I was hoping to use the remote app feature instead of the virtual desktop.

Hi Benny,
Initially please confirm whether the software is compatible to use with RemoteApp. Also the provided command line seems to be little invalid, please provide with specified full location and verify. You can check the related article for information.

RDS 2012 - RemoteApp is flickering

I have an application published on a Windows 2012 RDS server. Running the application from within a remote desktop session works fine, but when accessing via RemoteApp (tried on XP SP3, and 7 SP1), the application window flickers when moving the mouse,
or clicking on buttons or dropdowns within the application, etc. Has anyone seen this before?

You may be experiencing the same issues that we were having. We have a very critical remote site with hundreds of users that use nothing but RDS. They are currently using 2008 R2 RDS and one of the biggest complaints they have is PDF scrolling
lag. So once Server 2012 came out and I read about RDP 8 and its performance benefits while using UDP, we decided to see if that would resolve the PDF issue. Well I can tell you its a massive improvment. Anyhow, I built a 2012 RDS test pilot
and within the first week we started to here complaints about "flickering". All other testing was very positive, incuding the PDF scrolling, but the flickering started to become a real issue. So I opened a case with MS and worked through the issue
for several months and then they finally figured out the issue. They provided a private hotfix that we tested with success and it just so happens the official hotfix was released this past patch Tuesday. Hopefully this corrects the issue for you.
Another related issue we had, which is also resolved by this patch, was with launching emails from Outlook 2010 and that's all described in the KB article below.

RDS 2012 R2 - RemoteApp Disconnected

Hi RDS 2012 R2 Experts,
I would like some guidance here if possible
My setup is a follow.
1x 2012r2 with the following role, Broker, Web access, Gateway and License called RDS01
2x 2012r2 Session Host called RSH01 an RSH02
1x wildcard cert
I would like to my users to be able to either internal and external to use the same link, remote.mydomain.com since my internal domain is mydomain.local
What i have done so far.
Created a DNS Zone called remote.mydomain.com and added the following records there.
REMOTE, it points to web access server IP 192.168.1.31 ( same server for Gateway and Broker )
2x RDSFarm, one record points to RSH01 and the other to RSH02, 192.168.1.32 and 33
Gateway, the record points to 192.168.1.31 ( same servers as broker and web access)
Broker, the record points to 192.168.1.31 ( same servers as web access and gateway)
i have set the gateway manager the following
Edited the deployment RD Gateway to remote.mydomain.com
Installed the wildcert for all the roles, *.mydomain.com in all 4 roles
created Manage Local computer groups and added both RSH01 and 02, RDSFarm record, remote record, gateway record and broker record
linked the allowed resources with the policy and users ( also tried allow users to connect to any resources )
configure the gateway in the RD Gateway farm
Configured the IIS to
auto redirect
and the DefaultTSGAteway under Pages to remote.mydomain.com
Also I used the Set-PublishName (http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/Change-published-FQDN-for-2a029b80) to change it to broker.mydomain.com
Now, the issue I have is, when users either internally or externally try to launch a RemoteApp they get the error.
RemoteApp Disconnected
This computer cant connect to the remote computer.
Try connecting again.
To overcome this error I did the following:
Set-PublishName to RDSFarm.mydomain.com ( it is using the round robin to get to the session host servers)
There is two problem with this setup.
I no longer can shadow the users under Connections in the broker ( it seems to be bypassed )
I get certificate mismatch due the servers names
What I would like to achieve is to fix both problems above.
Thanks for any advice in advance.

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Initially check that you have applied external used FQDN of server under Server name in RD Gateway Deployment properties and used Bypass RD Gateway for local address.
Please try to perform the steps
• Create a new DNS zone, .COM to allow split-brain DNS (so that internal clients can resolve external names internally)
• Create a relevant DNS entry in the aforementioned zone to point to the RDS environment’s internal IP address
• Create a relevant DNS entry in external DNS to point to the firewall which is publishing RDS’s external IP address
• Use the following script to change the FQDN of the RDP files provided by RD Web Access / RemoteApp and Desktop connection feed
Change published FQDN for Server 2012 or 2012 R2 RDS Deployment
http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/Change-published-FQDN-for-2a029b80
In addition, for shadow related issue you can use the server in administrative mode use mstsc /shadow command and check the result.

RDS 2012 R2 RemoteApp Server Name Mismatch

Hi All,
I wonder if someone can scratch my head on this.
Brand new RDS 2012 R2 deployment.
RDS01 with Connection Broker and Session Host Roles installed
RDS02 with Web Access and Gateway roles installed
one ssl certificate with one domain remote.mycompany.com
the certificate have been imported to all the servers via the Edit Deployment
the local domain is mycompany.local
the problem that i am having is that when i launch RemoteApp after login in the remote.mycompany.com externally, i get Certificate mismatch, because it is contact the local name of the Session host server RDS01.
What i tried so far.
Used the Set-PublishName (http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/Change-published-FQDN-for-2a029b80) without success
Try to configure RDS01 certificate via (http://ryanmangansitblog.wordpress.com/2013/03/10/configuring-rds-2012-certificates-and-sso/)
Check Any resources ( http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/d1b0ebe4-9e53-47ff-8c75-43fd91ff538a/windows-2012-rds-certificate-mismatch?forum=winserverTS)
Has anybody out there could shade me some knowledge in how to rectify the mismatch name warning.
Thanks
Elton

Hi -TP,
Answering your queries.
1_the Set-RDPublishedName was successful, restarted the servers, refreshed the RDWeb page externally, tried to connect unsuccessfully.
2_I am using externally windows 8 and internally 7 fully updated
3_it had the green successful message.
After, set-rdpublishedname command, i get an erro when try to connecting saying, RemoteApp Disconnected.
Error:
Remote desktop cant connect to the computer "remote.mycompany.com"
1)Your user account is not listed in the RD Gateway Permission ( not true, it was set for domain users and my test user is under that group)
2)you might have specified the remote computer in netbios format or ip
Do you reckon i am having this problem because the RDS01 with Connection Broker and Session Host Roles installed?
Cheers
Elton

RDS 2012-PUBLISING REMOTEAPPS WITH VIRTUAL DESKTOP SESSION

Hello, I deployed a RDS 2012 VIRTUAL DESKTOP SESSION FARM.
Is it possible publish a REMOTEAPPS with Virtual Desktop Session?, I only find information with Remote Desktop Session
Thanks
Regards

Hi,
Seems this is not the possible scenario for deployment, we need to have Session based deployment as both virtual desktop session and session based deployment differs from other.
Thanks.

RDS 2012 R2 RemoteApp from NetShare

Hello.
We have a new RDS 2012 R2 Server.
The Problem is our ERP Software has to be started from a network share. I find out that it is not possible to publish a Application with the Servermanager which is on a netShare
So i want to try it with PowerShell, but evertime i try it i get the following error message

We just used a default Deployment with a Single Server.
Anyone an idea?
Thanks for the Help!

use
Import-Module remotedesktopservices
then try the commands again
also, when using -connectionbroker parameter, use FQDN for broker, not netbios name.
also ensure powershell is opened as administrator and the user you log onto the machine has admin permissions on the broker.

RDS 2012 R2 - RemoteApp - Certificate Mismatch

Hi!
We have a newly built RDS 2012 R2 setup.
It consists of the following:
1 x Server with the Gateway and the Web Access role
2 x Servers running a Connection Broker HA cluster
3 x Servers running as Session Hosts
The internal domain name is example.local
We have purchased a wildcard certificate for the entire setup. (called *.example.com)
An external DNS record - RDS.example.com - has been created and it NAT to the Gateway and Web Access server.
We have used the script from
https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/Change-published-FQDN-for-2a029b80 to publish the FQDN. The name we have publised is Broker.example.com. We have created a split-brain DNS internally so that the clients can resolve external names internally.
Whenever we try to launch a RemoteApp externally we get the dreaded "Name mismatch" (and it takes about 30 seconds before we get the prompt):
Any ideas how to solve this issue?

Hi TP.
Thank you for your advice.
I've updated the Windows 7 client to RDP 8.1 and it did the trick! Thank you.
But we have several external users - and we don't have any chance of controlling if they are running RDP 8.1. I tried to import the wildcard certificate to all RDSH servers
- using the script in this link: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/475fb55f-e394-45d9-a6bd-a37e2a5fe86c/rds-2012-session-host-certificate-assignment?forum=winserverTS
However - that is when I see the "Name mismatch" warning when launching a RemoteApp (as mentioned in my original post). I suppose this is because the certificate is valid
only for *.example.com - and not for *.example.local?
Is there any solution to this?

Clickonce in the RemoteApp RDS 2012 R2

Hi Folks,
Searching information for applications ClickOnce, in RDS 2012 R2, in Remote Desktop Services Blog, I read these applications can't published as RemoteApp programs directly, they can now be installed and run from their hosting website through a web browser such
as Internet Explorer published as a RemoteApp program.
Exist another form in the solve is the challenge?
I can solve these challenge using RDS combined with App-v.
Suggestions?
Thanks a lot!
Wilsterman Fernandes

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Yeah, you can try to use Clickonce application to install on App-v server combined with RDS and then provide the path for application to use by the user through Internet Explorer. Also you can get ClickOnce app to work by installing on session host with admin
rights ad then copied the shortcut to the redirected start menu. After that user can access via full desktop method.
More information.

RDS 2012 - Certificate Mistmatch

I am getting the most annoying error with my RDS 2012 Setup.
certificate mismatch and double password prompts when trying to connect to my RDS setup.
I have tried all that's out there and have got no positive results.
All roles are on identical on 2 servers. the RDCB is in HA Mode.
I keep getting the Certificate mismatch error.
Already have a public or external SAN certificate assigned to all roles.
Ran the powershell and wmi query to ensure the correct url is used when connected to gateway but I still get the double prompt when launching the remoteapps.
I even tried the approach by cleaning IE's history, data to get the RDPSHplugin and its not helped in my case.
All servers run 2012.
I need some urgent assistance, please and thank you
I have also checked and rebooted the RDS environment multiple times.
All certs show valid. the mismatch also goes to another cert in my environment which is utilized by OWA.
Please help me.

How do you configure a farm name in RDS 2012?

I understand Remote Desktop Services has undergo some drastric changes.
How do you configure a farm name in RDS 2012? Or is the concept around farm name changed in another concept?
Although I have imported a certificate on the RDCH withe the farm name I want to use. When I click on a RemoteApp on the RD Web Access portal, it does not connect to the right farm name.
Boudewijn Plomp, BPMi Infrastructure & Security

You don't. You create a collection. A client connects to the Connection Broker and then is redirected to the collection it is connecting to. The collection name is embedded in the connection file that the client downloads from RDWeb or
the RDWeb feed.
A collection is basically at least one RDSH server (for session based desktops) or one virtual machine (virtual machine based desktops).

Users see all applications in RDS 2012 Web access in one-way trust domain environment

Hello!
We have RDS 2012 deployment in domainA.local. There is a one-way trust between domainA.local and domainB.local: A trusts B and B doesn't trust A.
A user from domainB.local authenticates in Web-access interface (wa.domainA.local) and sees
every published application in every collection in the deployment independently of UserGroups setting of collections and applications. This occurs for any domainB user.
In the security log of wa.domainA.local we can find an event :
An account failed to log on.
Subject:
Security ID:                IIS APPPOOL\RDWebAccess

Logon ID:                0x2C7B16
Logon Type:                        3

Also in network trace on wa.domainA.local kerberos error could be found:
On TGS-REQ for krbtgt/[email protected] there is an answer: KRB5KDC_ERR_S_PRINCIPAL_UNKNOWN (7), server name krbtgt/domainB.
How to deal with this issue? The aim is to show only specified applications to domainB users.
Any help would be appreciated.

Passing Parameters via OpenDocument URL to OLAP Analysis .amw

Hello together,
did anyone ever manage to successfully create an OpenDocument URL which passes parameters to an existing analysis workspace .amw?
We already linked to other .crp and BEx reports, but maybe .amw needs some special syntax..
I appreciate every hint
Thanks
CR Enterprise 4.0 SP2 in usage

Hi,
I can confirm: The situation for A-OLAP is the same as it was for Voyager.
Analysis, like voyager, supports outbound opendoc params (ie pass context to WebI/CR) but not inbound params. The only exception is that you can specify which Voyager workspace to open.
Voyager/analysis supports SAP connection parameters on opendoc, but this is a manual selection in prompts. You cannot programmatically set connection variables.
Today we also support "Jumplinks"... a feature in both Voyager and A-OLAP that allows contextual information to be passed to a pre-defined Crystal Report.
For BI4.1 (end 2012) SAP plans to make A-OLAP more open. This includes supporting SAP's Report-Report-Interface (RRI) and extending the OpenDocument parameters beyond just the workspace name that is supported today.

H

RDS 2012 R2 Separate Session Collection Behavior

Hi everyone! I should start by saying that I've found a number of threads which are semi-related to this topic, but they just don't seem to address my particular complaint. I'm not sure if this is a bug, a configuration error on my part, or if
it is expected behavior (which would be unfortunate for my intended use cases).
The issue is that I need to provide two separate collections of RemoteApps, and I only want the collection appropriate to the logged-in user to be displayed in Web Access (or in the feed, for that matter). One collection includes an expansive set of
RemoteApps, and the other collection includes a limited subset of those published in the first.
Now, I know that a SH can only belong to one session collection. That makes sense, and in my case, I wouldn't want it any other way. It offers better separation between the user environment intended for use by employees, and the user environment
intended for use by non-employees, which is a bit more restrictive. (Those are the actual purposes of the two collections described earlier.) So far, so good. Now, it seems to me like every other role beside the SH role should be able to
do its job for all collections. What other purpose could the concept of a "Collection" possibly serve, after all? If I had to stand-up Connection Broker, Web Access, Gateway, and Session Host for every collection of RemoteApps, then there
wouldn't need to exist any concept in RDS 2012 R2 called "Collections". So, I figured that Connection Broker, Web Access, and Gateway could serve all collections, and Session Host is of course limited to serving one single collection. And,
I guess, that's largely the way it works, with one exception.
My issue is that in Web Access, all RemoteApps from all published RemoteApp collections are presented to every user who has access to one collection OR the other, despite my best intentions of having provisioned each collection with seprate user group assignments
using two separate AD groups. I don't want to advertise all RemoteApps from all collections in the Web Access namespace! To me, the presence of "User Group" configuration at both the Collection level and at the RemoteApp level implies
that there is some user group filtering going on, but so far that's looking like a false assumption. Why would the RemoteApp list in one collection bleed into the RemoteApp list in the second collection? Why would I want the users of one collection
to see the applications of the other, even when they're not going to be able to launch them anyway?
Does anyone have anything to add to the equation? Is there something I'm missing? Thanks ahead of time.

This is now resolved. There is obviously some additional configuration necessary in some relatively odd places when you want your RemoteApp collections to work as advertised. I hope this thread can help others in that regard.
The relevant (error) event generated for each "populate list of RemoteApps for Web Access" process (refreshing the web access portal was my test case), when my IIS application pool is provisioned by the new AD account is Event ID 10, Source: RDWebAccess.
In the body, it says "[...] unable to access rdcb1.[local]" and suggests that the RD Web Access server needs to be added to the TS Web Access Computers security group on the connection broker. However, that was obviously already the case.
Although not 100% correct in its suggested resolution, this error was helpful, because it shows that the break is occurring when Web Access tries to populate RemoteApps, and is shows that the break is occurring en-route to the CB server. So, I added
the new service account (for the Web Access application pool identity) to the Administrators group on the server with the CB role, and all is now resolved. I now have two separate collections, the list of each appearing for the appropriate user scopes,
but not for both user scopes like before.
Obviously, adding an account as an administrator fixes a lot of access related things very easily, but it is probably not the least-privileged way of doing things. To that end, I'd like to know the least privileged way, but can certainly live with
this much improved functionality as-is.
Thanks for all your help, Razwer.

Passing parameters with spaces to SCCM Run PowerShell Script task

I am working on an OS deployment task sequence in SCCM 2012 R2 with several Run PowerShell Script tasks. Most of them run fine, but I am having trouble with the one I need to pass parameters to.
The parameters I need to pass are:
-ComputerOU "ou=All Workstations,dc=contoso,dc=com" -GroupDN "cn=Group1,ou=All Groups,dc=contoso,dc=com"
I have that line (with actual DNs) entered in Parameters of the task.
But when the script runs on the target machine, the values of the parameters in the script are truncated at the spaces. $ComputerOU is set to "ou=All" and $GroupDN is set to "cn=Group1,ou=all"
What syntax should I be using the Parameters field of the Task in order to properly pass PowerShell parameter string values that include spaces?
Tim Curwick
MadWithPowerShell.com

Thank you, TC, but I am not calling the parameters from within PowerShell.
The parameters are in the settings of a task sequence task to be used by the task to launch a script. The syntax I am using would be correct for use within PowerShell or from a command line or batch script, but SCCM appears to be doing some parsing
before or while it is passing them to the script, possibly dropping the quotes which causes mishandling of the spaces in the string values.
Historically, it is always challenging to give one application parameters to pass to another application, and the required syntax can get quite tricky when the two application handle quotes or spaces differently, or when the parent application wants to parse
something intended to be passed on as is to the child application.
I'm sure someone has already figured out what the syntax needs to be for doing this with an SCCM 'Run PowerShell Script" task, it's just one of those issues that is hard to Google effectively.
Any other ideas?

RDS 2012 R2 HA - CustomRdpProperty gets overwritten by sync

Hi,
I am implementing an RDS 2012 R2 Farm at a customer site. The customer is using different DNS-names internally and externally so I have implemented a Custom RDP Property via PowerShell on the Farm.
Set-RDSessionCollectionConfiguration -CollectionName "Collection" -CustomRdpProperty "use redirection server name:i:1 `n alternate full address:s:broker.external.com"
I can see, the property is applied and synced to the other broker servers - perfect!
I have verified via PowerShell and registry and I have tested that the 'redirection' actually Works - fantastic!
The problem is, that when the farm is synchronized Again, my custom property gets overwritten/deleted.
What am I missing? Permissions?
Is the Custom Property supposed to get written to the SQL database that is used for Broker high availability?
Hopefully someone can help med with this one :-).
Thanks in advance!
/Michael, Denmark

Hi,
Yes, they do get the files from the same source. If using RemoteApp and Desktop Connections it stores a cached copy of the .rdp files in the user's profile and updates them periodically, so it is possible some of them could be using a rdp
file with the old information. For RDWeb a fresh copy is downloaded each time the page is refreshed.
To keep things consistent I would recommend you undo the custom rdp property you made. To do this you can run the command on
both brokers with a just a space or newline (`n) for the customrdpproperty parameter, like this:
Set-RDSessionCollectionConfiguration -CollectionName "collectionname" -CustomRdpProperty " "
