Remote Desktop Certificate Error - Server 2012 Essentials

My remote desktop connection was working fine until the operating system installed some recent updates automatically. I had everything set up, and the certificate was installed and working fine and had no issues getting to my remote computer. Recently when
I log into my remote web access and try to connect to any of the computers on the list I get an "Remote Desktop Connection" error. "Your computer can't connect to the remote computer because no certificate was configured to us the Remote
Desktop Gateway server." Like I said the certificate was installed and working fine the other day. Any insight is appreciate. Thanks

Hi ChrisCJK,
Based on the error message, please refer to the following operations and then check if can help you to solve
this issue.
Locate to Remote Desktop Services folder in Administrative Tools, then please open the
Remote Desktop Gateway Manager.
Right click server name and select
properties.
Select the SSL Certificate tab.
Then please click the “Import Certificate…” button.
Select the trusted certificate and click Import again. And then click Apply and OK.
If this issue still persists, please type the following command at the command prompt, then press ENTER:
netsh http show sslcert
Please check the value for
Certificate Store Name.
Meanwhile, please follow the path in Event Viewer:
Applications and Services Logs-> Microsoft-> Windows-> TerminalServices-Gateway folder. Please check if you can find any error message. Please also check other related TerminalServices folder if you can find some other clues. It will help us to go
further analysis.
Hope this helps.

Web Access for Remote Desktop on Windows Server 2012

Hello,
i've a Windows Server 2012 without a domain. So i installed the remote desktop session host, the remote desktop license server and the remote desktop gateway as a server role only. All is working fine. Without a domain, no management tools for remote
desktop are available. So i configure the remote desktop via the registry. I define (via registry) some remoteapps, too. All values are copied from a running Windows Server 2008 R2. So the remoteapps are runing.
Now i want to use the new Microsoft Remote Desktop client for Android. To use a remoteapp i must define a remote resource. To define a remote resource i need a url to the web access for remote desktop. So i installed the web access. But if i login to the
web access, i don't see any remoteapp. What's wrong? I've set the ShowInTSWA to 1. What must i do to access an existing remoteapp via web access?
Martin

Hi Martin,
Server 2012 RD Web Access is designed to retrieve published RemoteApps and Desktops from a Server 2012 RD Connection Broker and/or a Server 2008 R2 RD Session Host server. From your description it doesn't appear that you are using either of the above.
I know it is a more complicated set up, but you should consider having a domain, creating a RDS deployment, etc., so that you can use the full featureset as it was intended. You can do it all on a single server if needed. For Server 2012
there is a hotfix that needs to be applied to permit RD Connection Broker to work on the same server instance as active directory.

Getting Client Name in Remote Desktop Manager for Server 2012 R2

Remote Desktop Manager appears to have been replaced or moved in Server 2012 to Server Manager. It doesn't really matter to me where this is located, however I don't seem to have all of the features that were in Remote Desktop Manager (2008 R2). The biggest
one that I need is to be able to tell what computer each RDS user is logged in from. We use this quite often so we can remote into that users computer for troubleshooting.
Does anybody know how to obtain this information in Server 2012 R2? If it's not possible in Server Manager, can it be done with Powershell? A 3rd party application?
So far the only way I have been able to do this is if there is still a 2008 R2 server on the network. I can log into it and use Remote Desktop Manager to connect to the 2012 R2 server. Since a 2008 server can still obtain this information for a 2012 server
there must be a way to achieve this.
Thanks in advance!
Tom

Hi Tom,
In addition, the PSTerminalServices PowerShell Module might help.

How to allow more than two users on remote desktop on windows server 2012 foundation?

i have a dell server power edge T300 with windows server 2012 foundation. I am unable to connect more than two remote desktop at once.

Hi,
Add to Brain, you cannot have more than 15 user accounts in Windows Server 2012 Foundation.
In order to access a hosted application, such as Microsoft® Office, a license for Windows Server 2012 Remote Desktop Services is required for each user account (not to exceed 15 user
accounts) that directly or indirectly uses RD Gateway to host a graphical user interface, including using Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) client. When using Remote Desktop Services, you may not install or use Remote Desktop Connection Broker or Remote
Desktop Virtualization Host role services. For more information about Remote Desktop CALs , see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=140238.

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.

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.

[Forum FAQ] Troubleshoot the error "The Remote Desktop Session Host server is in Per User licensing mode and No Redirector Mode"

Symptom
RD License server is a key component of RDS. It licenses users to access RDS servers.
After purchase the required RDS CALs, we need to activate the RDS License server and install the purchased RDS CALs. However, during the installation or after installation, we may face errors
about RDS License.
In most cases, the following error may occur.
Error:
The Remote Desktop Session Host server is in Per User licensing mode and No Redirector Mode, but license server "Server name" does not have any installed licenses with the following
attributes:
Product version: Windows Server 2012
Licensing mode: Per User
License type: RDS CALs
Troubleshooting
1. Check whether the RD License Configuration is configured properly and there are no Warnings in the Event.
2. The License Server should be part of 'RD Server License' group in Active Directory Domain Services.
3. Check if the Licensing Mode is correct.
- To change the Licensing Mode we can use RD Licensing diagnose, PowerShell cmdlet and Group Policy.
Via PowerShell cmdlet:
To change the licensing mode on RDSH/RDVH:
$obj = get-wmiobject -namespace "Root/CIMV2/TerminalServices" Win32_TerminalServiceSetting
$obj.ChangeMode(value)
# Value can be 2 - per Device, 4 - Per user
Via Group Policy
Path: Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Remote Desktop Services -> Remote Desktop Session Host -> Licensing
Use the specified RD license servers = FQDN of server name
Set the Remote Desktop licensing mode =
Per User
However, if issue persists, please provide detailed information and post the question in the
Remote Desktop Services (Terminal Services) forum.
Please click to vote if the post helps you. This can be beneficial to other community members reading the thread.

Hi Richard,
You need to uninstall Remote desktop session host feature. After removing it, you will default two connections which does not need to purchase RD CALs'.
Thanks,

Where do I find Offer Remote Assistance on Server 2012 Essentials

Where the heck do I find the Offer Remote Assistance capability in Server 2012 R2 Essentials? (I'm guessing this a just plain Server 2012 thing, but in my case I'm specifically using Server 2012 R2 Essentials.)
From the server console, I want to be able to offer remote assistance to workstations joined to the Essentials domain.
I have the Remote Assistance Feature installed on the server, and I have the group policy configured and active for workstations to allow Remote Assistance. I just cannot find in the Server 2012 user interface (which is of course based on the Windows
8 interface which I have not used yet), where the Remote Assistance option is.
In Windows 7, and Small Business Server 2011 Essentials, which is of course built on top of Windows 2008, I could click Start, then All Programs, then Maintenance, and "Windows Remote Assistance" was a shortcut there.
In Server 2012 R2 Essentials I can't find it anywhere. Even when I display the full Start "Menu" list on the new Start screen I can't find it. "Remote Assistance" does not show up as an option when I try to search for it in
the Start screen search box.
Thank you.

Thanks everyone. I finally found it, but it's far less than obvious in any way. But first to address some of the other comments...
That's funny. The only way I've been able to find the tool on Win7 or Win8 has been to type "remote assistance" at the start menu, and then select the appropriate program.
I just rechecked 3 different Windows 7 PCs and both of my older Small Business Server 2011 Essentials servers (which of course are based on Server 2008). On all of them in the Start Menu, I can click Start, then All Programs, then I have a folder called
"Maintenance", then inside of that I have a "Windows Remote Assistance" shortcut along with several other shortcuts. Of course I know the interface changed in Windows 8 and Server 2012, but it seems odd they'd remove access to the tool
entirely without any way to get to it.
I just did this on my Windows Server 2012 Essentials, and it offered me the right selection, but then when I clicked that I got the message "Windows cannot find 'C:\Windows\system32\msra.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again."
Funny that it obviously had the shortcut installed, but not the underlying program.
Wim.
I believe it may have been removed from the Server OS in 2012 in favour of using a Desktop to Offer Remote Assistance.
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/hyperyash/archive/2013/01/18/remote-assistance-in-windows-8.aspx
It was 'put back' in R2 so it seems.
Anyway, i went to Server Manager, installed Remote Assistance. Rebooted.
Went to search and found remote assistance.
Yes, mine is specifically 2012 R2 Essentials. After some additional Google searching, it does appear that there is no direct "shortcut" to Remote Assistance in Windows 8, and thus I'm guessing in Server 2012 R2. Everything I find on Windows 8 indeed
says to "search" for "remote assistance" as you guys have suggested and select it from the search results. The problem is that on my 2012 R2 Essentials server, when I search for "remote assistance" I only get one result, as shown
in the first screen shot here, which if I click it takes me to the 2nd screen shot, which is of course not what I want. (That's the settings for the server itself to allow remote connection into the server from outside. I'm trying to go from the server
out to workstations.)
Then i had to go to 'get help' which may be a change from before.
Chose to help from an invite.
Go to advanced options.
Not sure if this is what you want, or need?
Yeah, I knew how to get to the Advanced settings within the basic Remote Assistance tool. The "Invite someone..." option is not showing up in my search results when I search for "remote assistance" as you can see in the above screen
shot.
If I remember correctly, the feature had already to be installed manually in Windows Server 2008 R2, so this is not a new behavior...
Correct, yes, on my SBS 2011 Essentials servers I did have to manually install the Remote Assistance "Feature". But as mentioned above, once I did install the feature, then the "Windows Remote Assistance" shortcut still showed up
under Start/All Programs/Maintenance. At the very least I would have expected it to show up in the search results, which you can see by the above screen shot, it doesn't.
SO HOW DID I SOLVE IT?
I found that if I actually search for "invite someone" then that option shows up in my search results and I can click on it and it launches the remote assistance tool as in Robert's message and screen shots above. I don't know why this
option doesn't show up when I search for just "remote assistance" as in Robert's screen shot above, but it doesn't.
In the end, creating the desktop shortcut for msra.exe /offerra seems to be the most efficient.

Boot up of Windows Server 2012 Essentials seems slow (extended Please Wait screen) and there are errors in Health Report

Dear Sir or Madam,
I have been experimenting with the evaluation version of WS2012e trying to get the installation and subsequent build into an optimal set up, and once I have everything I want it to do mapped out, I'll set it up with the full version with using the key that
I bought.
However, I've noticed that the server seems to experience a delay during cold boot - it sits with a Please Wait screen for about 60-90 seconds before it presents the screen with an option to Log on. I have also discovered from running Health
Report, that there are some entries in the event logs which appear to coincide with start up times, and which seem to be interconnected to each other in the issues they are describing, and I have copied an example of one of those health reports below.
I assume that everything sorts itself out in due course, because the events say the process will be re-attempted and these errors don't repeat again after the system has booted up. I also have the server set to suspend when not in use with the Lights
Out add in, so it shouldn't need to cold boot often - but I wondered if there's a way to correct these errors so that they don't hold up the boot up process? I'm also concerned that these errors will cause me later problems with storage pools and
the like at a later date - the disk replication one seems particularly worrying. Alternatively, are these errors just a normal part of the start up process - the timing of when different processes start relative to each other - and can be safely ignored?
In trying to understand what the events describe, I thought that WE2012e acted as its own Domain Controller, and yet it seems from the event log entries that it is waiting for another server to respond to AD / DC requests (but there isn't another server
on my home network). The other thing I remember from when I first tried out WS2012e, is that it took control of DHCP or DNS from the router, and I found that frustrating when waking up my laptop and it wouldn't connect to the internet until the server
had fully booted up and re-asserted its network settings. Is this another symptom of the same problem? I remember seeing a posting at the SBS Diva's site about how to update the server so that it gave connected PCs a backup option for connecting
to the internet when the server wasn't available, and was going to try to find that again to see if that helped.
By way of background - there isn't another server in my home network. This is an attempt to do a clean install onto the same hardware that I ran the initial trial of WS2012e, now that the trial has expired, so I'm not trying to migrate from an existing
server. I moved all the data on the trial server off onto an external disk, with the intention of importing it back once I had the Storage Pools set up the way I wanted on the new build, and since I didn't want to keep anything else about the server
trial. Am I correct in thinking that I don't need to go down the Migration route during installation, and can go through a Clean install in this circumstance?
I'm running on an Asus P8-H77-i motherboard, with an i5-3470s CPU and 16MB RAM, and I have WS2012e installed on 256Mb SSD formatted under GPT with uEFI boot - the latter being the main reason for the reinstall, instead of just giving the Evaluation
version the new key on the original MBR set up. I've also enabled Intel Rapid Storage and Rapid Start - and successfully set aside the hibernate partition on the SSD - but discovered that this is about forcing a hibernate after suspend, allowing
the system to power down until its needed again, and then resuming from hibernate on the SSD rather than cold boot each time. That seems to work, but doesn't improve the cold boot times at all, which was what I was hoping for - ideally the way my
laptop will boot from cold in a few seconds into Windows 8.
Yours faithfully,
Avon

are performed on a cleartext (non-SSL/TLS-encrypted) connection. Even if no clients are using such binds,
configuring the server to reject them will improve the security of this server.
Some clients may currently be relying on unsigned SASL binds or LDAP simple binds over a non-SSL/TLS connection,

Hi KerguelanAvon,
Based on your description, it seems to be hard to narrow down the cause of this issue. Please refer to following operations and monitor the result. It may help us to go further, and then solve this issue.
1. Please refer to the following article and troubleshoot slow boot.
New Slow Logon, Slow Boot Troubleshooting Content
2. On your server 2012 essentials, please start a BPA scan and fix all that it can find, then monitor the result.
Regarding to those critical Errors in Health Report, please perform
Dcdiag on the server. Meanwhile, please refer to the following article and troubleshoot network connectivity, firewall setting and AD DS issue.

Hi Justin,
I'm reading through the links you referred me to but it's taking a while. In the meantime I tried running BPA as you suggested. I'm sure when I ran it before, it didn't say much beyond 81 checks completed, and I couldn't find a way to get any
more detail.
Now it says
Problem:
The DNS client is not configured to point only to the internal IP address of the server.
Impact:
If the DNS client is not configured to point only to the internal IP address of the server, DNS name resolution can fail.
Resolution:
To resolve this problem:
1. From the client computer, open the Properties page for the network connection.
2. Make sure that DNS is configured to point only to the internal IP address of the server.
Except that it is.

How to solve the error 0x80073701 in Server 2012 Essentials?

Good afternoon, I have a big problem when trying to add some roles or features on my Server 2012 Essentials get the error 0x80073701, in my case I am trying to install telnet client and server, but to see if the problem was with them already tried other
roles and features and also the error remains. I thought it was some evil update installed and uninstalled all and the error continues.

Hi Tiago,
Would you please let me confirm whether the Windows Server 2012 Essentials is migrated from
Previous Versions or a clean install? Just a confirmation, thanks for your understanding.
On current situation, please use the following tool to check the integrity of the .NET Framework.
.NET Framework Setup Verification
Tool User's Guide
Please also use
Install-WindowsFeature PowerShell command and check if help you to install Roles and Features on the Windows Server 2012 Essentials successfully.
In addition, Please follow the path: C:\Windows\Logs\CBS and check CBS log file if find more clues.

get the error 0x80073701
By the way, the error seems that mean there are some system files are missing, which caused the installation
failure. If it’s not a production environment, maybe consider that run
sfc /scannow command to scan all protected system files and monitor the result.
Please Note: since it’s a Windows Server 2012 Essentials, the web configuration file may become corrupted when you run the SFC command. For more details, please refer to following KB.

If any update, please feel free to let me know.
Hope this helps.

Windows Server 2012 The licensing mode for the Remote Desktop Session Host server is not configured

Hi
I have a standard Windows Server 2012 that is hosted in the cloud by a hosting provider -
This server has been up and running fir 6 months - recently we have been getting a warning
"The licensing mode for the Remote Desktop Session Host server is not configured" - The Remote Desktop Session Host server is within its grace period, but the RD Session Host server has not been configured with any license server.
Yet, we only use this with 2 connections as part of the standard licence agreement and this server is not used as a user's desktop only an ftp and web server- do therefore we do not need to purchase any cal licences (we have another server with the same
hosting company that does not have this issue and has been up for 18months)
Please can someone advise how I resolve this issue, the hosting company states that I must resolve it as they only host and resell the server licence
Thank-you
Richard Steele

Hi Richard,
You need to uninstall Remote desktop session host feature. After removing it, you will default two connections which does not need to purchase RD CALs'.

Remote Desktop Certificates

H
I have an Azure hosted RD deployment that consists of 2 x RDG/WebAccess servers (one of these is the connection broker) that sit behind an Azure Traffic manager. Behind these I have 6 RD Session Hosts.
I am totally confused over certifcates. What certificates do I need where and where do I create the CSR for each certificate.
Any help gretly appreciated.
Simon

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
As per your case, you can use wildcard certificate or SAN certificate for your network. Which can serve the certificate for all your server. Basic requirements for Remote Desktop certificates:
1. The certificate is installed into computer’s “Personal” certificate store.
2. The certificate has a corresponding private key.
3. The "Enhanced Key Usage" extension has a value of either "Server Authentication" or "Remote Desktop Authentication" (1.3.6.1.4.1.311.54.1.2). Certificates with no "Enhanced Key Usage" extension can be used as well.
More information.
A. Certificate Requirements for Windows 2008 R2 and Windows 2012 Remote Desktop Services
B. Minimum Certificate Requirements for Typical RDS implementation
Hope it helps!
Thanks.

Cannot enable anywhere access in Server 2012 Essentials R2

Hi all,
I have recently installed & setup Windows Server 2012 Essentials R2 on Lenovo S20. Everything is going great except for Anywhere Access! I previously had Server Essentials 2012 running on a HP Microserver but the hardware desperately needed upgrading
& when R2 came out I grabbed my opportunity. I did not do a migration as I only needed to copy my data. I have everything else set up, i.e. AD DNS, DHCP etc etc & all required roles installed but when I access the dashboard Anywhere Access wizard the
server says it is switched off, so, I go to set up & skip domain name setup as I already have one setup through MS & skip router setup as my ports are already forwarded & the server handles all DNS & DHCP anyway. Click on next & tick anywhere
access ( have tried with VPN too) & next then click allow current users & groups etc & next again, then the setting up remote desktop box has the green bar scrolling across & that is as far as I get. I have tried multiple times & it never
goes any further, I have even left it for over 48 hours!! The only option left is to cancel which it does OK.
I have trawled the internet for answers but cannot find anything similar to my problem. As I say, everything else is OK, local computers connect & see the file structure OK. It is just this anywhere access problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated
as I do sometimes need to access certain files while away from my premises. I think I have mentioned everything but if you need any more info please ask. I am pretty new to servers & still have a lot to learn but am getting there slowly!!

OK my friend has so far had no luck in finding a problem :(
I have looked at the logs suggested but I have to be honest they mean very little to me. I have a Dashboard.log & a SharedServiceHost-ManagementServiceConfig.log which it says was last updated on 7th Dec but I also have another of those logs which ends
in .2.log so it's full name is SharedServiceHost-ManagementServiceConfig.2.log is this right? That one has been updated today.
I have uploaded a logs.zip file to my Skydrive space if anybody would be good enough to have a look & tell me what I should be looking for? The link is: Logs.zip
Thanks for you advice so far
