Remote Desktop Services Printer Redirection with easy print not working as Desired

Hi,
I have a Terminal Server Farm with a number of Windows Server 2008 R2 Remote Desktop Session Host Servers in the Environment. There is also a RD Gateway server which is used to connect to the RD Session host servers in the environment. We
had configure the policy "Use Terminal Services easy Print Driver First" for all the RD Session Host servers. Everything was working well untill a couple of users Complaint about slow printing on Easy Print. While trying to troubleshoot the issue we came
to know that when we by-pass the RD Gatewat and make a Direct connection to the RD Session Host Servers we are able to Print Really fast using Easy Print. Only When we use the RD gateway server we get the problem with the Printing.
As we could not get through this problem and we are not in a condition to by-pass RD Gateway for connections we decided to put the TS Easy print Driver as a Second option. We went ahead and identified the 3 printers for which printing was slow. we
Installed the Drivers for the same printers on all the Terminal Server and Disabled the policy "Use Termianl Server Easy print Driver First". After this we were able to print fast on the 3 printers having Slow printing issues. All the other Printers were using
Easy print.
After a day we realised that there were more than 20 drivers for Different printers installed in the Print Server Properties. We started getting viered problems with the Printing on all the Terminal servers like, Print Spooler Service Crashing, Hanging,
Users not able to redirect printers at all. To avoid this we Removed the Driver Packages but they came back the very next day.
I am not sure what could be causing this kind of behavior. I would really appriciate if someone can help he with these two problems
1) Easy print Working Slow only when using RD Gateway Server
2) Printer Drivers Getting installed on Terminal Servers when Easy Print Policy is disabled.

1) Easy print Working Slow only when using RD Gateway Server
> Difficult to track down especially through forum. Looking for some known issues/hotfixes
954743 FIX: After you apply hotfix 954744, printing performance may be significantly slower when you print documents by using Terminal Services Easy Print
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=954743
The Remote Desktop Easy Print (RD Easy Print or TS Easy Print) uses the XPS print driver that ships with .NET Framework.
2) Printer Drivers Getting installed on Terminal Servers when Easy Print Policy is disabled.
> If Easy print is not the first driver then it installs the driver if they are InBox drivers
> If these are non-inbox drivers - This is because administrators are RDPing to the server from another PC with several printer/drivers installed.
When they RDP with printer redirection enabled, the drivers get automatically installed.
To avoid this, either turn off printer redirection at server level from RDP-TCP properties - might not be feasible if users need redirected printers
Else make sure that when admins RDP, printer redirection is turned off so that drivers are not automatically installed
This was a major issue in 2k3, i havent tested it in 2k8 though
This behavior is related to the change you made in Easy print driver behavior

Windows Embedded 8.1 Industry Pro Application Launcher Remote Desktop Services Feed VDI with Windows Store Remote Desktop Client

I wanted to make kiosks which are joined into a domain and set up with an Remote Desktop Web Feed with VDI Desktops (to support Single Sign On and minimize configuration needs on the client side). And I wanted to lock those Clients to launch only the Remote
Desktop Windows Store application. And if somebody clicks on a Desktop Pool then connect to the choosen Pool. But instead of doing this the Remote Desktop application opens the Pool within the old mstsc.exe and right after connecting the OS switches the focus
back to the Remote Desktop Windows Store application. And nobody can work in the office with this configuration.
So how can I correct this problem? Any other solutions? What is the official way to doing this?

Hi,
Based on my test, we cannot associate .rdp files with the Remote Desktop Windows Store App. Therefore, you may have to use MSTSC or configure the setting in the Remote Desktop
Windows Store App manually.

Print range with JavaScript does not work on Mac

Problem: I am using this.print({bUI: true, nStart: 1, nEnd: 2, bSilent: false}); to print a range of pages. Works perfectly on Reader 8 and 9 and AcroPro 8 in Windows XP. Works in AcroPro 8 on OSX 10.4 but not in Reader 8.1.2 or 9 in 10.4 or Leopard.
What happens: the print dialogue opens, the range is selected correctly and the pages radio button is selected, but the preview shows the first page, and clicking to print prints the whole document.
Workaround: making any change - even adding and deleting a space - to the print range in the print dialogue immediately causes the preview to switch to the desired pages, and the range now prints as desired.
Have submitted this as a bug, but wondered if there is another way to do this from a button, as we're on a deadline.
Thanks

Connecting to Remote Desktop Published Apps through RD Web Access not working

Hello,
I have configured an RD Gateway server. My scenario is like I have a windows 2012R2 server with all RD components (Gateway, web access, connection broker, session host) configured, since this is for a poc. Externally I can access rd web access portal (https://<servername.domain.com>/rdweb)
and can connect to the target server using "Connect to a remote pc" tab without any issue.
But I can't connect to any published app from "Remote App and Desktop". The error I recieve is "unable to connect to remote pc. please provide the fully-qualified name......."
At the same time I can see below errors in event logs related to connection broker:
Error 802:
RD Connection Broker failed to process the connection request for user domain\Administrator.
Error: Element not found.
Event 1306:
Remote Desktop Connection Broker Client failed to redirect the user domain\Administrator.
Error: NULL
Error 1296:
Remote Desktop Connection Broker Client failed while getting redirection packet from Connection Broker.
User : domain\Administrator
Error: Element not found.
Googling I could see some posts related to these issues, mentioning about to check the network connectivity between RDCB and the target server. I can defenitely say it is fine and already mentioned I can connect to the same server using "connect to
remote pc" tab.
Just FYI, I have this server as Amazon EC2 instance and the domain is configured as Amazon directory service. Can someone please help me at the earliest.. This is pretty urgent as my tasks are pending due to this issue..

Hi,
I have seen similar issues with Essential role installed, if it’s installed on the terminal server, please remove it.
Please also ensure involved machines are fully patched and keep port 443 of the TS server open.
When external users connect to the Web Access page, are they able to see remote apps? If not, please check whether user assignment setting is configured correctly for remote apps.
Are users able to open remote apps from internal network?
Here are some related links below for you:

Remote update service on sony ericsson G502 does not work

I have a Sony Ericsson G502. The phone has a problem which causes it to restart when I am on a call. Sometimes it just restarts on its own. I searched on the net and found that other people have also seen the same issue and I believe a software upgrade will fix the problem.
I dont have the usb cable of the phone so I cannot do the upgrade using the 'Update Service' software from the pc. I tried doing a 'remote update service' from the phone in Menu-->Update Service-->Search for Update, but it just says that your phone is running the latest software. The current software version on my phone is 1203-8254 R1FA031 080512. Is this the latest software available? I have bought the phone 2 years back (but used it sparingly), and I am not convinced that there is no update to this software.
Please suggest a way I can upgrade this phone? I like the phone, but this restart problem makes the phone very unreliable for everyday use. Kindly help.

Your best bet is to get a USB cable and update the software with SEUS on your PC.If, as the remote update service tells you, you already have the latest software, you can only re-install the software via PC anyway.Alternatively, you can perform a master reset on the phone and see if that fixes the problem.Hope this helps.

Users not showing in Terminal Server Under Remote desktop services manager and Task Manager

Hi All,
I have a problem here in Terminal Server. I can not see the users logged in to Server but i know users are accessing the files and currently working.
1. From the Task Manager-- Show processes from all users displayed all the processes accessing by users.
2. From the Task Manager-- From Users Tab--No users list at all
3. From the Command Prompt- Query users-- No information
4. From the Remote desktop services Manager-- used with IP/Host name-- Still can not see the users list and processes. So i can not kill the session if needed.
Enviroment:
TS CALS 20 currently accessing 15 users
VM-WARE GUEST: 2008 RS Terminal Services/Remote Desktop services installed
Windows up to date-- Just updated last month
Problem is here for long time. Just couldn't find the time to trouble shoot.

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
As you have tried many steps, I suggest you to try below command line and power shell command if successful in your case. Please try below command with Admin access:
qwinsta /server:<servername>
To kill a session use rwinsta to delete the session specifying the ID number:
rwinsta /server:computer01 3
Here's the list of command line tools for Remote Desktop Or, you can use PowerShell:
Get-RDUserSession and Disconnect-RDUser
Please check the list of Power Shell command from
this link.
Hope it helps!

Allow log on through Remote Desktop Services Group Policy for Domain Controllers

Hello,
We want to allow our Helpdesk Operators to be able to connect to Domain Controllers with the Remote Desktop Services. This is by default not allowed but according to many sites, it should be able to configure by using a Group Policy.
We made a new Group Policy with the setting 'Allow log on through Remote Desktop Services' and 'Allow log on locally' (as an extra for testing) and applied Security Filtering to only use it for a specific Security Group. Our test user is a member of this
security group and should be able to access the Domain Controllers now. However this isn't working.
The error message we receive upon trying to connect:
The connection was denied because the user account is not authorized for remote login.
For troubleshooting, we also applied the Security Group for that setting in the Default Domain Controllers Policy but that doesn't seem to work either. We want to avoid customization on our Default Domain Controllers Policy but this was just a test case
for solving our problem.
What should we do to solve our problem?
I hope to hear from you soon.
Thanks in advance.

Hi, I just found out what the problem was. This site helped me alot:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/askperf/archive/2011/09/09/allow-logon-through-terminal-services-group-policy-and-remote-desktop-users-group.aspx
In my case, I had the group added to the Allow Logon Through Remote Desktop Services but was not added to the Builtin\Remote Desktop Users group. After knowing this I made some changes to our situation and are now using the builtin\Remote Desktop Users group
rather than a new self made Security Group. I also added the Remote Desktop Users to the Allow Logon Through Remote Desktop Service in the Default Domain Controllers Policy as this is not done by default. By default only the Domain Administrators are able
to logon through remote desktop services.
You do not need the 'Log on Locally' permission within the Group Policies.
In short:
Add the desired users/groups to the 'Builtin\Remote Desktop Users' security group.
Add the 'Builtin\Remote Desktop Users' security group to the 'Allow Logon Through Remote Desktop Services' within the 'Default Domain Controllers Policy'.
Thank you anyway for the fast reply.
Have a nice day!

Windows Server 2008R2 running Remote Desktop Services reports printer process does not exist when installing PDF printer

Windows Server 2008R2 running Remote Desktop Services reports printer process does not exist when installing PDF printer, And when Installing network printers from the domain controller it reports it cannot connect to printer. I can ping all
network devices. I can connect to the internet.
On boot I get a netlogon 5719 error followed by service control manager errors 7023,7001 and a group policy error 1129.
Clients can connect to the remote application and RDP operates to connect to the server internally and externally.
The domain controller is another server 2008r2 box. I have scoured the internet but have not found any solutions that work yet.

Hi,
After referring to your post, it can be identified that the issue which you are facing is mostly due to some network issue in your environment. Please recheck your network connection issue between computer and domain controller.
Can you able to ping with IP address and also with fully qualified name of a domain controller in the users' and computers' domain. If it fails states that name resolution issue with computer and domain controller. Are you using MS DHCP Relay agent then there’s
available Hotfix for the particular Event ID. Please go through this KB 2459530 to fix the error event ID.
As per the net logon error 5719 which you are facing states that the client component of Netlogon was unable to locate a DC for the domain it was trying to perform an operation against. Below is one of the reason. If this is being logged on a DC and the event
refers to the DC's own domain, something might be preventing the client component of Netlogon from starting a network session (to itself or to another DC in the domain). The following event 7001 & 7023 states start & stop operation service. Please
go through beneath article for more details.
1. Event ID 5719 is logged when you start a computer
2. Netlogon 5719 and the Disappearing Domain [Controller]
3. Event ID 1129 — Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy
Hope it helps!

I want to be able to print using windows remote desktop services what printers can i use?

Hi I want to use Windows Remote Desktop Services on my iMAC.
I understand some printers work but some dont when printing from the VDI client.
Can anyone give me a list of printers that will work with the VDI client or some work arounds so that I can print using my iMAC and that print jobs can be parsed through the VDI clien to my iMAC and then printed through the iMACs connection to the printer
Thankyou

ARD won't be as smooth as you think over the Internet and be a security risk for your daughter.
Your best bet would be to install nannyware, then when she's asleep you can review the logs.

Audio service hangs on Windows Server 2008R2 with Remote Desktop Services

Hello!
I have some terminal servers on Windows Server 2008R2. Users have the ability to use web browsers (IE, Firefox) with the included Flash Player, IM clients / Internet
telephony (Skype, ICQ), Windows Media Player, Office, and a specific internal software (works with MS SQL). I have the following problem: the Windows audio service hangs up that leads to hangup of all programs which use it, such as: any sites in Internet with
a flash content (in all browsers), ICQ, Skype.Even logging out the session hung when tried to lose a sound. It's impossible to stop or restart service from the services.msc the service just hang with status "restarting". To stop service I terminate svchost
process. As soon as the audio service is stopped - all programs start to work correctly (certainly without a sound). This problem appeared not suddenly - periodic hangups of programs on servers were marked long ago (more than half a year), but not directly
were connected to audio service, especially there were they rather rare (on the average once a week - two) and were corrected by server reset. The error message:
Error container , type 0
Event name: AppHangXProcB1

shall suggest an idea about a sound service, but in Event Viewer has no Windows Audio events.
Recently I updated Skype to the last version 6.0.66.120. Before was 4.2.35.155 because versions 5хх on Windows2008R2 with the Remote Desctop Services actually don't
work, if users at the server more than one or two. We checked the sixth version by the test machine with the terminal environment and very were delighted to its normal working capacity. However after installation of this client on production servers it appeared
that hangups of programs on servers began to occur on the average time at an o'clock in case of an average daily load (about 20 users on one server). If you have worked one or two users, problems weren't watched. Internet search led me to the support page
Skype, where the Windows 7 x64 user faced a similar problem in the fifth version of the program. But the solutions proposed by the support team does not help me. In addition, I found the advice to disable enhancements in the properties of the playback device,
but it is impossible for the "Remote Audio" device.
At the moment, on servers where I updated the Skype, I disabled the audio service. If within a reasonable time, I do not find a solution, I will have to revert
to an older version of Skype, but I would like to solve the problem completely.

Enable the Allow audio and video playback redirection Group Policy setting
To allow audio and video playback when connecting to a computer running Windows Server 2008 R2, you must enable the Allow audio and video playback redirection Group Policy setting. The Allow audio and video playback redirection Group Policy setting is located
in Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Device and Resource Redirection and can be configured by using either Local Group Policy Editor or the Group Policy Management
Console (GPMC).
For more information about Group Policy settings for Remote Desktop Services, see the Remote Desktop Services Technical Reference (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=138134).
Is this policy applied? Refer:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd759165.aspx
Also, have you tried update the audio device driver for this terminal server?

To install Remote Desktop Services User CAL on Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition with SP1

Dear Sir,
Presently we have installed Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition with SP 1. And now i would like to install Remote Desktop Services User CAL on this server. I have 25 digit product key of Windows Server
2008 R2 Remote Desktop Services User CAL (20). Downloaded this product key from our MSDN Subscriptions.
Kindly suggest me how to install (CAL server with product key that i have) and configure remote desktop services on my above existing server also how to point other server with my CAL server.
Thanks

Hi,
1. Install Remote Desktop Session Host and Remote Desktop Licensing Role Services using Server Manager.
2. Open RD Licensing Manager (licmgr.exe), Activate your server, then install your license
3. In RD Session Host Configuration (tsconfig.msc), set the Licensing mode to Per User and Specify your RD Licensing server name (itself). If you want you may configure these two settings via group policy setting instead. The path of the
group policy settings is Computer Configuration\ Administrative Templates\ Windows Components\ Remote Desktop Services\ Remote Desktop Session Host\ Licensing
4. You may point other RDSH servers to your RD Licensing server using RD Session Host Configuration or via group policy as mentioned above.
5. Optionally you may consider installing other Remote Desktop Role Services such as RD Gateway, RD Web Access, RD Connection Broker, etc.

2008 R2 Remote Desktop Services Problems With Older RDP Clients

I recently deployed a new 2008 R2 server to serve as a Terminal Server (Remote Desktop Services) for about 30 people. The new server is replacing a 2003 server. I expected the new machine to be a considerable upgrade and was looking forward to happy people
and less problems. Reality is I am finding several unexpected headaches - discouraging considering the amount of money we have spent on the new machine.
Most of the users connect via HP thin clients, they are the T5510, T5520 and T5530 thin clients. What I have found is performance issues when connecting via these thin clients. I believe the RDP client on these thin clients is RDP 5.5 or earlier. And I do
not believe it is possible to upgrade the RDP client version on the thin clients - I guess they are to be seen as "disposable".
The performance issues are: black blocks appearing when connected - and I have deselected bitmap caching - makes no difference. When typing in certain places the display of the typed characters could not keep up with the user. And lastly I have a weird thing
that just popped up today; where if the user goes to Google it freezes up their entire environment - I cannot even remote control the user/session - why this came up today and was not a problem before I am not sure.
With all of the above issues I have found that the problem goes away or does not exist if I connect to the server using an RDP client on an XP or 7 computer. So I have to conclude the RDP client is the problem.
Does anyone have information on this? Is there anything I can do as far as configuration on the server to allow me to use these older RDP clients? Do I have any alternative other than buying new thin clients?
thanks!

From your description, I also agree that the problem may be in the top RDP client.
1.
HP Compaq t5510 Thin Client:
Operating System: Microsoft Windows CE.NET
RDP Client: Remote Desktop 5.1 Add-On
2.
HP Compaq t5520 Thin Client:
Operating System: Microsoft Windows CE 5.0
RDP Client: Remote Desktop 5.5 Add-On
3.
HP Compaq t5530 Thin Client
Operating System: Microsoft Windows CE 5.0\6.0
RDP Client: Remote Desktop 5.5 Add-On
We can try to optimize two ways.

Upgrading Driver – Network for Thin Client

Upgrading RDP to the latest version of HP Web site.
Let thin clients use to connect to the Remote desktop server with low load.
(1) Open the Remote desktop client in customer’s Thin Client
(2) Click Advanced option. In choose your connection speed to optimize performance area, you can select the low load option. For example, modem(56kbps).
I noticed that you have deselected bitmap caching in Remote Desktop Client options, but makes no difference. You can try again. Then please remember disconnect idle sessions and rational allocation of resources in Terminal Server.

Print with Easy Print Driver

Helo!
We need print from redirected printers on Windows Terminal Server based on Win 2008 Server.
Driver which used for that print task is Easy Print driver. WTS administrators say that we can't use any other drivers for that print task.
But when I printin this way from sap spool request created in WTS spool, but not redirected to client PC spool and not printed on it.
Please explain which Device Type I can use in SPAD SAP for print via Easy Print driver?

Dear Evgenij Sorokin ,
1) There is no need to install any drivers in WTS .
2) It is the access method which is important not the device type.
3)Use access method 'G' while creating output device.'SAPWIN' device type is enough.
4).visit this page http://mywts.sap.com/faq/WTSPrintingInformation.pdf
Your local printers are seen in the WTS if they are shared while connecting to the terminal server.

Questions in regards to server 2012R2 Remote desktop Service deployment and GPO

Hi Everyone
We have a business requirement moving to 2012R2 RDSH server. I have installed a 2012R2 member servers and enabled Remote desktop licensing role. I have activated the licenses. the servers is in operational
I have deployed 3 windows 2012R2 member server "RDS1" , "RDS2" and "RDS3".
on RDS1 I ran Add roles and Feature Wizard > Remote Desktop Services installation > Quick Start >Session based desktop deployment to complete the installation.
On RDS1 Server Manage Dashboard Page Select Remote Desktop Services > Overview. Under RD Licensing I added my 2012R2 license server "2012r2-tslic". Go to task. Edit deployment properties RD license mode to per device and click OK.
Reboot RDS1
Check RD Licensing Diagnoser everything is clear
On RDS2 I did the exact same thing ran Add roles and Feature Wizard > Remote Desktop Services installation > Quick Start >Session based desktop deployment to complete the installation.
But With RDS2 I move this server to an OU that link to a GPO with RD licensing details. after reboot the servers check RD Licensing Diagnoser I can see 2012r2-tslic specified as the license servers.
Based on this document
http://blogs.technet.com/b/askperf/archive/2013/09/20/rd-licensing-configuration-on-windows-server-2012.aspx Are you suppose to configure RD license server via Remote desktop Service deployment ? Not GPO ?
Here are my questions
We currently have ten 2008r2 terminal servers in a NLB cluster. each RDSH server have in house application installed on each one of them. User connect to the 2008R2 RDSH servers via RDP connection. we have a restricted GPO apply to those
RDSH servers. user cannot do anything on RDSH servers apart from running the application and use excel. On the remote desktop session host configuration we have enable settings like end a disconnected session , Active session limit ,
remote control users session , LPT port redirection.
We push out RD license server detail via GPO to the terminal servers
Can I use our existing GPO apply the licensing server settings , desktop restriction setting to the 2012R2 RDHS servers or we should be using Remote desktop Service deployment to do the job ? If that is the case how would you transfer the
current 2008r2 environment to 2012 using Remote desktop Service deployment. is that mean I have to manually configure 1 by 1.
Please help
Many thanks

Hi,
Please see my response to you in the other thread. Please contact me via email and I will go over the basic planning and deployment steps with you which will help clear things up and get you started off on the right foot.
You should only run through the wizard and create a RDS deployment once. Then you add the various servers (RDSH, RD Licensing, RD Gateway, etc), set Deployment properties, etc.
Thanks.
