Remote Desktop Services Properties - Operation failed: Access is denied

Hi
when i try to change the Remote Desktop Services User Profile Path with ADUC i get the error "Operation failed: Access is denied"
This error occurs in a subdomain with the Domain Admin of the Subdomain. I'm able to change this attribute with the Enterprise Admin.
As far as I understand this attribute is set in the userParameters but I don't know what permissions must be set to allow the Domain Admin to change this Attribute and why the Enterprise Admin is allowed to change the Attribute and the subdomain Admin not.
Our AD Schema is 2003.

Hi,
As per I know, this is by design because enterprise admin has full control in every domain within the forest but sub domain admin only has full control in its own domain. SO when subdomain admin try to modify they receive error instead of enterprise admin.
But still if you want to assign the permission to subdomain user to change then you can delegate below permission to user.

REMOTE DESKTOP SERVICES CLIENT ACCESS LICENSES FOR MICROSOFT WINDOWS SERVER 2012 STANDARD AND DATACENTER

I am using a window 7 professional service pack 1 and I purchase REMOTE DESKTOP SERVICES CLIENT ACCESS LICENSES FOR MICROSOFT WINDOWS SERVER 2012 STANDARD AND DATACENTER. but the seller did not send me any installation CD or instruction
on how to use it.
Please how can I use it on my window 7 professional service pack 1.
Thank you.

Though Bill is absolutely correct for most CALs, Remote Desktop Services does have its own special licensing server. I haven't installed one on 2012, yet, but here is a step-by-step guide for 2008.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd983943(v=ws.10).aspx
Here is a lab guide for 2012 -
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj134160.aspx
But, the explanation of your environment begs the question - what are you trying to do? You say you have a desktop OS and you are talking about Windows Server products. In that light, your question does not make a lot of sense.

Install Remote Desktop Services Failed on Windows 2012 Server

I understand RDS is not recommended on DC due to security consideration. However since I want to play it at home, it is not much a concern. Such scenario works fine on Windows 2008 R2. But on Windows 2012, the RDS (session-based, have not
tried VDI, but expect same result) installation always fails and is incomplete on DC.
In \Administrative Tools\Terminal Services, I only have RD Licensing Diagnoser and RD licensing manager. The remote desktop service management service cannot be started (Error code: 0x88250001). Is there any extra configuration needed for RDS
working on Server 2012 DC or before the installation? Thanks.
Update: this issue has been solved in Windows 2012 R2 Server. According to
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/rds/archive/2013/07/09/what-s-new-in-remote-desktop-services-for-windows-server-2012-r2.aspx
"Single server RDS deployment including Active Directory. We now support running our RD Connection Broker role service on the same physical instance as an Active Directory Domain Controller. In addition, we published
guidelines for how RD Session Host could be used without the RD Connection Broker."
The guidelines (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2833839/en-us) primarily apply to Windows 2012 Server.

Asinine. Simply Asinine. Microsoft took it out because of $GREED$.
RemoteDesktop has become so popular, they had to break it to make more money. Thats why they discontinued SmallBusinessServer.   If this practice is so tabooo... Why did MS go the opposite direction with SBS 2011 Premium Cal's? SBS2011
had DC, Exchange, RDS and Sharepoint,SQL, RemoteWebWorkplace, OWA all working in perfect harmony. It is an untrue statement then, that it was "allowed but not recommended"
Now you by Server2012 (core + two virtual) and its not enough for all this.
You need at least another $700 for another sever licence to have it all
and who knows if SQL will run on a DC, or Exchange, or R-DERP server. Another reacherous bridge to cross.
By far, the absloute worse release since Millennium. The product is not ready for production, we broke our rule of waiting until the first SP1 upgrade for this and Exchange 2013. Problems with USB drivers and networking running extreamly slow.
Our 2003 SBS server was at least three times as fast, and this server has SAS and SSD drives running. It can't get out of its own way, and IE10 is the most unstable piece of crap to come out of Redmond. Open wide and swallow - Mother Microsoft
knows whats best for you. YOU WILL EAT OUR SLOP AND LEARN TO LIKE IT.   Server2012 AKA "METRO-SERVER"
Now here I sit after 50 Hours back to back setting up a new R-DERP server 2012, AD, Have my RDP licences in my hand at $100 each, and WTH does Microsoft care if I install it on my DC. ITS MY DC. And the cost savings versus the "risk" was
previously MY decision.
Sure, I can install a couple of Virtual HyperV sessions but they are so tempremental to a power-outage in a small business its not worth it. I have to double up my server hard drive resources, buy a $800 battery backup unit and make sure to attach
the cable, and even then, if that Bi**H does not shut down properly, one bit goes awry in a VHD or VHDX file and you are screwed. Restore from lastnights backup and forget about todays work. Not to mention it will probably take a half day to try
to fix it, then recover it then tell the 30 users they lost a days worth of work.
HYPER-V is for test servers and has no place in a small (micro) business environment. 5-30 users.
Microsoft's solution, buy another server. Need Exchange? Buy another server or take the risky cheapskate route and spin up some VHD's. Might as well put a gun to your head and play russian roulette, at least you know you have a one in six
chance of failure. With MS, its a 100% failure for a dirty shutdown power loss, motherboard blows, memory goes corrupt in a few years, your conventional method of recovery is gone, and you have some upchucked VHD file to try to recover some of TODAYS
data from.
Screw server 2012 forever.
I will sell 2008 and SBS2011 Premium unitl it rots in hell like XP (of which there is NOTHING wrong with for the average, WORD, EXCEL, OUTLOOK and QUICKBOOKS that all SMB's use. Its MS $GREED$ Grab the world by the B**ls and squeeze with all
your might to squeeze every dime you can out of *SMB* because big business is going to run thier 2003 Exchange and 2008 servers into ground before they switch to this garbage.
YOU CANNOT INSTALL EXCHANGE 2013 on DC , OR on R-DERP server.
Go buy another server license and server or MOVE TO THE CLOUD and get fleeced every month.
I have 30 DC/R-DERP/Exchange and SBS2011 Premium servers all running for years in perfect harmony, locked down with security so the users can't even WIGGLE with something they are not supposed to work with. They get their apps, cannot install anything
and all these servers are running just fine behind the firewall and perfectly save. The track record of this combination is 100% stable and is up 24/7/365 with no problems. Do yourself a favor and throw this 2012 into the river, you don't need
any weights because it is LEAD and will sink to the bottom by itself.
Why, you ask? Official is "Its for your protection" The real reason? To sell you more $700 server licences.
Maybe for SMB, we start selling Linux NAS Servers, host the Exchange in the cloud and be hearded like cattle to the Microsoft slaughterhouse. One way or another, you are going to bleed.    A little each month to move to the cloud, or
a small fortune if you want to have it in house. Microsoft wants it to be more expensive to have in house. No more buying a server and running it for six years before you upgrade. They can't have in house servers competing with their cloud,
and small businesses are the low hanging fruit ripe for the pickin'.

Accessing ASDM through MS Remote Desktop Services session based system

I am setting up a MS Remote Desktop Services system for a client. This is being configured as a jump server so everyone at the client will go through this system (aka jump server) to access systems via ssh, https, etc that are in a restricted part of the network. I am running into a problem getting ASDM to work. I can bring up the initial web page directly on the server via Internet Explorer, so that tells me I can get to the ASA. I have installed Java 1.7.10 as this is the recommended version on looking at the Java site for Windows 2012. When I try to install the dm_launcher, it says that Java isnt installed..
Has anyone been able to get this to work ?
Ron

I've used ASDM fine from an RDS platform. I used Java 7 update 45. How are you trying to install the launcher?

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!

Remote Desktop Connection Broker role fails to install

Hi,
I am having a situation where I cannot install the RDS Connection Broker on a Windows 2012 R2 that also has AD DS installed. I understand with Windows 2012 R2, you should be able to do this.
I suspect that the Default Domain Controller Policy might be a factor in this, but I have modified the "Log on as a Service" right to include the "NT SERVICE\ALL SERVICES" user as directed in article
2832204. The issue persists.
I have reviewed the event logs and the Windows Internal Database logs, and it appears the hang up is with the installation of the Windows Internal Database. The C:\windows\wid\log\error.log file shows the following line just before the installation
fails:
2014-12-12 11:05:32.54 Logon Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE'. Reason: Could not find a login matching the name provided. [CLIENT: <named pipe>]
I am unsure where to go from here, but I tried renaming the C:\Windows\WID folder after a reboot to see if a clean install of the Windows Internal Database would fix it, but it still has the same issue.
Some more information on the environment:
Recently added this Windows 2012 R2 DC to a domain that previously only had a Windows 2003 domain controller. There were no errors with the DC promotion. Windows 2003 domain controller still resides on the network as a DC (for now).
Planning to install RD Connection Broker and RD Web Access role services to the new Windows 2012 R2 AD DS server.
Thank you for any assistance you can provide to resolve this issue.
Tim

Hi Tim,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Initially would like to say that it’s not best practice to have RDS and AD DS role on same server (Not recommended). There are various safety reason for this case. Instead you can do one thing, install Hyper-v on physical server and then create 2 VM (one
for AD DS and other for RDS) in this way you can achieve your goal. Please try to install as the mentioned way and verify whether you resolved you issue. For more information you can refer following article.

Windows 2012 R2 Active Directory Domain Services and Remote Desktop services Role on the same server.

Findings:
Currently, Windows 2012 R2 AD DS role and RDS With Broker services can only seem to coexist properly in a new domain not an existing domain. Any attempt to add to an existing domain causes internal database user access denied issues and any attempt to
adjust rights and circumvent is dubious at best.
The escalation technician said it best. Out of 50 clients that want to do this, they end up not being able to help 5 right off the bat for whatever reason. As for the other 40 they might be able to help by running reports, adjusting rights and trying to add
the roles until it works. This can end up being a 20 day process. Basically they are playing whack-a-mole with user rights and permissions until something sticks.
We tried creating an OU where any other domain policies would not be inherited to see if that was the issue, a fresh install with different sequence of adding the Roles, no effect.
Given the errors I witnessed when running procmon and then trying to add the roles, the NT System and the Windows Internal database user had access denied issues on 100+ registry keys when trying to add the roles. After that the system is not behaving normally.
The errors displayed almost mirror the errors that would occur on Windows 2012 when those two roles would be added which of course is officially NOT supported on that system.
This blog needs serious revision:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/rds/archive/2013/07/09/what-s-new-in-remote-desktop-services-for-windows-server-2012-r2.aspx
This is the excerpt from that blog: Single server RDS deployment including Active Directory. We now support running our RD Connection Broker role service on the same physical instance as an Active Directory Domain Controller. In addition, we published
guidelines for how RD Session Host could be used without the RD Connection Broker.
Microsoft Support was curteous and helpful and they were the ones who advised cutting our losses, which mirrored my hunch after seeing what was transpiring in the system. They refunded my money for the support call.
For me, it was an opportunity to find out if there was any way to configure Windows 2012 R2 in the Same manner that it was setup as Windows 2008 R2 and lay that to rest. The coexistence is poorly implemented. It is as if there was a reaction from all the deprecation
of bread and butter features such as shadowing in TS and the coexistence of AD DS and RDS to where those features were re-added haphazardly. (I have no complaints on shadowing on Windows 2012 R2 it works, just do not like having to go to server manager to
use it).
I opted for virtualizing the Domain controller to eliminate the incompatibility issues and that is what I will be doing from now on. I found free solutions for backing up and reporting for virtual machines as well as the suggested procedures for configruing
a Domain controller as a virtual machine on a Hyper-V environment and I will be sticking to those. Thus far the setup has been operational.
I am not allergic to virtualization, but for really small setups it adds additional time and considerations but if that is how it has to be done, so be it. Windows 2008 R2 days are numbered and since we can usually squeeze 5-7 years on quality server equipment,
buying a Windows 2008 R2 setup now is a borderline disservice in my opinion.
Hopefully someone finds this useful and saves some time.

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Do you need any other assistance?
Based on your description, you are describing your story of successfully implementing RDS server with AD role and more regarding all RDS related scenario. For shadowing feature, you can use with command also. Below is the syntax to shadow a session.
mstsc /v:<ServerName> /shadow:<SessionID>
Hope it helps!

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.

User profile vs Remote Desktop Services Profile

On a Windows 2008 R2 Domain Controller, if you open properties of an user account, you'd see
a Profile Tab as well as Remote Desktop Services Profile Tab.
I found this very confusing, can any one tell be the key difference between those 2?
If I don't specify Remote Desktop Services Profile path, when I logon to Remote Desktop Server, it seems take user's
romaing profile.
Anyway, please advice.
Thank you.

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
The profile tab of the user properties window allows you to configure user profile, logon scripts and home folder details for the user object. It is very useful when you have to allow your user access the same environment and data irrespective of the machine
he logs in from.
Active Directory User properties – Profile tab
Remote Desktop Services User Properties
You can specify a Remote Desktop Services-specific profile path and home folder for a user connecting to an RD Session Host server. This profile and home folder will only be used for Remote Desktop Services sessions. You should assign a separate profile for
Remote Desktop Services sessions because many of the common options that are stored in profiles, such as screen savers and animated menu affects, are not desirable when using Remote Desktop Services.

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.

How to install the Remote Desktop Services role on a Windows 2012 R2 Server

Hello,
I am a bit confused on how to install the RDP role on a 2012 R2 server. I have a two server domain and would like to make the second member server an RDP server to host applications (Word, Excel, a medical software, etc.) where users from their windows
7 desktop will use the Remote Desktop Connection to connect to the server, create a session and do their work. When installing the role, I am prompted with two options:
1- Role-based or feature based installation
2- Remote Desktop services installation
I see the RDP install option in both cases.
1- Which one do I use?
2- What role services do I install? (Connection broker, Gateway, Licensing, Session Host, Virtualization host and Web access). I think I need the first four only.
3- When installing software after RDP, I use the Change user /install and Change user /execute commands. What happens to the software that is already installed? Can remote
users use those?
Any help will be very much appreciated.
Thank You,
Victor.

TP,
Thank you for your response. I added the RD Licensing thru the Role-based option.
Also opened the local group policy thru gpedit.msc and added the server name and the licensing mode type to Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Remote Desktop Services -> Remote Desktop Session
Host -> Licensing
Use the specified RD license servers = NameOfMyServer
Set the Remote Desktop licensing mode = TypeOfMyLicense (Per User in my case)
Thank you again,
Victor

Cannot run more than one instance of a remote app in remote desktop services Server 2012

All,
I installed "Remote Desktop Services (RDS) Quick Start Deployment for RemoteApp, Windows Server 2012 Style" using the instructions here http://blogs.technet.com/b/yungchou/archive/2013/02/07/remote-desktop-services-rds-quick-start-deployment-for-remoteapp-windows-server-2012-style.aspx
I need to set up an image viewing program (Olyvia) to allow students using Macs and iPads access to this windows only application in order for them to get their work done. We may have 12 or more students accessing and trying to run the Olyvia application
at any one time.
All works good, except that I cannot run the Olyvia application (setup as a remoteapp program) more than one instance at a time. That is, when I start up "olyvia" on a Mac, it works great. If I leave it up and running, and then try
and start up "olyvia" on an iPad (using different accounts), I get the following error message:
"Cannot run more than one instance of this program simultaneously. Either the program is already running, or it has not been terminated completely."
I need to understand the root issue.
1. Is this a licensing issue? So, I need to add some CALs to the RDS server?
2. Is this a application issue with "olyvia"? So, no matter what I do, it is not going to be able to be used by more than one person at a time when configured as a remoteapp?
3. Did I not "publish" the application correctly?
4. Is this happening because I followed the "quick start" guide?
Appreciate any help I can get on this. We have no problem getting CALs, I just need some help with the root issue.
Thanks,
Geoff Weatherford
CVMBS, CSU

Hi Geoff,
Each application uses different techniques for determining if multiple instances are running. If you can determine what method it is using then perhaps you could use App-V or other virtualization software.
In the best case you really should direct your question to the maker of Olyvia. The reason I said that is they specifically designed their software to prevent multiple instances, so the first question is, why? Is it related to Licensing?
Compatibility? If you knew the specific reason(s) why they are doing it and the technique used then at the point using a virtualization technique may be the best option.
