Remote Web Access

My company has provided me with RWA for my computer and email. I can connect just fine with my laptop running Windows 7 Ultimate. My desktop also runs Windows 7 Ultimate. I can log in, but when I click on email the window opens up blank.
I also cannot access my computer. Help?

Hi robgatian,
Before going further, would you please let me confirm something more?
Please let me know if you access RWA via IE in this desktop. If use some third-party Browser, please change to use IE and check if can access smoothly.
When login, please check if you can use Share Folders in RWA.
If you use another user account to logon in this problematic Windows 7 desktop computer, will encounter the same issue?
Please use another Windows 7 desktop computer to login RWA as your account. Then check if this issue still exists.
Meanwhile, please let me know whether can find any error message when you login RWA and click on Emails. Was
just blank? Any details you can find, please feel free to let me know.
By the way, which SBS edition did you use?
Hope this helps.
Best regards,

How do I change the URL to the Remote Web Access server in Windows Server 2012?

Hallo!
I have set up a Remote Dexktop Service using the "Quick" deployment method in Server Manager and everything is working greate internally, but I cannot start an app published in Remote Web Access from outside our network.
The problem is that it wants to start the using the internal URL, for example, server.domain.local, instead of the external one, for example remote.server.com.
I therefore want to know how I can change the default URL for the Remote Web Access server and all the Remote Web Apps in Windows Server 2012?
I have allready looked in Server Manager and I can change some of the deployment settings in server manager, but there is no way to alter the URL of the Remote Web Access server. See below images:
Pressing the internal URL only results in opening the internal URL.
This was very simple to do in Windows Server 2008 R2 using the tsconfig tool, but it does not seam to be any way of solving this in server manager.
A possible sollution would be to alter the registry someware in HKLM->Software->Microsoft->Windows NT->Terminal Services. But this can easaly lead to problems due to wrong format, etc. and is probably not supported.
Is there a simpler and supported way?

That option can be used to connect to any machine that you want. The error message indicates that the client machine cannot resolve the name "server.domain.local" to an IP address that it can connect to.
You have several options for configuring that tab on the RDweb site. You can even remove it entirely.
Customization of RD Web Site
RD Web provides a number of customization options for the RD Web interface, including the ability to control default Gateway server settings and redirection settings. These settings
are controlled by editing the web.config file located in %SYSTEMROOT%\Web\RDWeb\Pages.
Displaying Local Help
To display local help for users instead of the web-based help, edit the LocalHelp value and change the value from false to true.

<add key="LocalHelp" value="false" />
When this value is changed, a user that clicks on Help in the upper right corner of the RD Web login page will open the local help file instead of web-based help.
Hiding the Connect to a Remote PC Tab
The RDWeb page
Connect to a Remote PC tab can be hidden from users to prevent connections to any servers through RD Web other than the servers configured in a collection. By default, this setting is set to true and the
Remote Desktops tab is displayed. To hide the tab, set the value to false.

<add key="ShowDesktops" value="true" />
When the value is set to false, a user will not see the Connect to a Remote PC tab when logged on to the RD Web page
RD Gateway Settings
If the Connect to a Remote PC tab is enabled, an administrator can configure RD Web to use a Gateway server when connecting to remote computers. To specify a gateway, edit the below
value with the name of the RD Gateway server:

<add key="DefaultTSGateway" value="" />
The default authentication method for the RD Gateway server can also be configured by editing the following section of the web.config:

<add key="GatewayCredentialsSource" value="0" />
Devices and Resources
By default, only Printers and Clipboard are redirected on connections made using the Connect to a Remote PC tab. If the user clicks the
Options << button, the redirection settings for a specific connection can be modified
To configure each specified redirection option to be enabled or disabled by default, edit the following section in the web.config file:

<add key="xPrinterRedirection" value="true" />
<add key="xClipboard" value="true" />
<add key="xDriveRedirection" value="false" />
<add key="xPnPRedirection" value="false" />
<add key="xPortRedirection" value="false" />
LAN Experience Defaults
Windows Server 2012 RD Web Access can display a new user selectable option for optimizing the connection for a LAN experience. This option is displayed at the bottom of the RD Web
page and can be controlled by the administrator using the following section of the web.config file:

<add key="ShowOptimizeExperience" value="false" />
<add key="OptimizeExperienceState" value="false" />
This value is set to false by default, but when changed to true, the following checkbox will display at the bottom of the webpage. The LAN experience
checkbox can also be set as enabled by default.
Each setting can also be modified using the IIS Manager user interface:

Error in Remote Web Access - "An unexpected error occurred. Please try again. If the problem continues, contact the person who manages your server."

I have set up the RWA and I can log in to the web console with my server account. However when I click on any of the shared folders I get this error:
An unexpected error occurred. Please try again. If the problem continues, contact the person who manages your server.
Does anyone know how to troubleshoot this?

I had this very same issue with one of our customer's servers that was running Windows Server Essentials. I ended up calling Microsoft about the issue. I hope this helps someone. This originally appeared on my blog: http://techspeeder.com/2014/01/14/remote-web-access-error-an-unexpected-error-occurred/
Troubleshooting Steps:
1. We were getting unexpected errors while accessing shared folders remotely
2. The tech found IIS handlers were missing
3. She went to IIS > server level ( parent level) and added managed handler mapping :
Name: svc-Integrated-4.0
Request path: *.svc
Executable: System.ServiceModel.Activation.ServiceHttpHandlerFactory, System.ServiceModel.Activation, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35
4. Added script mapping:
Name: svc-ISAPI-4.0_64bit
Request path: *.svc
Executable: windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\aspnet_isapi.dll
Name: svc-ISAPI-4.0_32bit
Request path: *.svc
Executable: windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework32\v4.0.30319\aspnet_isapi.dll
5. Ran IISreset.
6. We were able to access resources in Remote access, then.

Map a drive to the Remote Web Access - Shared Folders

All companies love Remote Web Access. No need for VPN for access to remote desktop and the "private skydrive" Shared Folders.
Is there anyway to map a drive to these "private skydrive" Shared Folders? you can map a drive to the real skydrive and to Sharepoint so surely it is possible?

The trick that I found was to upgrade my file server to server 2012 R2 and configure iSCSI Target for the resource I wanted to access by RWA. On my RWA Server I then used the iSCSI initiator to connect to that Target. This makes the shared drive appear
as if it is a native drive on the RWA server. Once this was done I configured that drive, or a folder within that drive for access with RWA. It has worked perfectly ever since.
Trust but verify!

Questions regarding Outlook Web App, Remote Desktop, Remote Web Access and VPN Access

Hi there,
I want to ask a series of questions regarding Outlook Web App, Remote Desktop, Remote Web Access and VPN access and was hoping whether you could help me. Below are my questions to ask you.
Outlook Web App - What do I need to configure in order to get my Exchange account to work with the OWA app on my iPhone? Is Office 360 required on the server that hosts Outlook Web App in our organisation? When I configure the settings and
connect I get the following message "couldn't connect - We couldn't connect to the server. Check your information and make sure it's correct." I can connect with other devices using Outlook Web App.
Remote Desktop - What do I need to configure in order to connect to my computer at work using Remote Desktop on my Windows Phone? When I configure the settings and connect I get the following message "Connection error - We couldn't connect
to the remote PC. Make sure the PC is turned on and connected to the network, and that remote access is enabled. Inquiring minds may find this error code helpful: 0x204" I can connect with other devices using Remote Desktop. There are currently no
RD Server settings in the Remote Desktop app on the Windows Phone and the only way I'm to connect to my PC at work is via Remote Desktop and not to be confused with the one by Microsoft, however the app is on a trial basis and times out every 5 minutes and
can only be used once every hour unless I purchased the app for £2.99 off the App Store but would ideally like to use the Microsoft Remote Desktop app though.
Remote Web Access - What do I need to configure in order to get Remote Web Access on my Windows Phone using a URL? When I log in using a URL I get the following message "There is a problem with this Web page. Please contact the person who manages
the server" I can connect with other devices using Remote Web Access. Also how do you enable the background option for Remote Web Access? I know how to do this in Remote Desktop but not in Remote Web Access. Remote Web Access works on PCs regardless
being onsite and offsite and on my iPhone, the same issue also occurs with my Nokia 5230s regardless of whether I'm using Opera Mobile or Mini or the latest Nokia Browser.
VPN access - How do you configure VPN access on a Windows Phone using VPN? I cannot find the protocols PPTP, L2TP, SSTP and IPsec in order to configure VPN access on the Windows Phone apart from IKEv2.
Many thanks,
RocknRollTim

Any help would be much appreciated.
Kind regards,
RocknRollTim

Can't connect to computer in remote web access

I am running sbs 2011 essentials and have been able to remotely log in to the remote web access page. Once I get there I can see all the shared folders on the server (and access them) and I can also see the computers available for access (my computer
and the server). I can access the server dashboard by logging in as the server administrator (by using domain\admin) and then in a second login as a user (domain\user "with administrative rights"). However, when I go to logon to the client
computer, I receive the error "Remote Desktop cannot find the computer "client". This might mean that client doesn't belong to the specified network. Verify the computer name and network that you are trying to connect to."
Do I have a DNS problem since I can connect to the SBS 2011 Essentials server?

Hi,
Are you facing issues with all the client machine connection? On the workstations make sure Remote Desktop feature is enabled
Make sure windows firewall service is enabled and inbound rule for allow RDP is enabled.

Windows 8 PC not able to remote desktop via Remote Web Access

Windows 8.1 PCs cannot initiate a Remote Desktop session to Windows 7 PCs via Remote Web Access running on Windows Server 2012 Essentials. The Windows 8.1 PC can Remote Desktop to the Windows 7 PC by IP using a VPN, and can connect using
the "Remote Desktop to the Computer" option under Devices in the WSE Dashboard.
All PCs and the server have all Windows updates applied. Specificallly, the Windows 7 PC has KB2574819 is installed and the RDP Policy 8.0 has been activated using local group policy. NLA is not active.
Given that direct Remote Desktop connections work OK but not RDP proxy session, it would appear that the problem has to do with the RD Proxy on Windows Server Essentials.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Does anyone have any troubleshooting tips on how to trace this problem down?

Hi,
Please check if there is any error in the remote desktop service log both on the Windows 8.1 client and server sides. You can find the log under Applications and Services logs – Microsoft
– Windows – TerminalServices.
Thanks.

Windows Home Server 2011, How to Turn off Remote Web Access for Dashboard completely?

I have a Dell Server at my House and i thought it would be a good idea to use it to run a website on so, i set up Apache and get it installed. But then every time I type http://localhost/ it would always Come up with the remote web access! So i thought
ok no problem you can disable that in Dashboard. Well i was wrong when i typed http://loacalhost/ it came up with the Proceed Anyways option but sent me to a Big
Bad GateWay. So what im trying to get at is i need to Fully Disbale that Remote Web access or Set a specific Port so it does not interfere with port 80. So does any one know how to fix this or get rid of this issue?

This one may help.

Small Business Server 2011 Essentials Remote Web Access fails to connect to Windows 8.1 PC

I am using Remote Web Access (RWA) gateway with Small Business Server 2011 Essentials.
There are several workstations all running Windows 7, and have been using RWA without an issue for well over a year.
There is now a Windows 8.1 Pro PC added to this domain, but the Remote Desktop does not connect.
The Windows 8.1 PC appears in the RWA pages, It requests the credentials to connect, and then fails with the following error:
Remote Desktop can't find the remote computer "COMPUTERNAME". This might mean that the "COMPUTERNAME" does not belong to the specified network. Verify the computer name and domain that you are typing to connect to.
I can connect to all other PC fine (running Windows 7). I have tried from different locations and PC's and the results are the same.
I thought I had fixed this problem a few weeks back. After running all updates on the server and Windows 8.1 PC, and rebooting both, the RDP worked, but I think it only worked once and then failed the next time someone tried to use it. I have not had
a successful connection to the Windows 8.1 PC since.
I am at a loss on how to troubleshoot this as there are no errors on the system which can't be accessed.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Hi Mr Cheese,
à
I turned off the Firewall on the Windows 8.1 PC and the RDP is now working.
Thanks for sharing in the forum. Your time and efforts are highly appreciated.
Based on your description, this issue is related to Firewall. Would you please let me know current situation
of this issue?
Just addition. Please open Control Panel, select Windows Firewall and click Allow an app or feature through
Windows Firewall. Then please check if Remote Desktop is allowed. Meanwhile, please click Advanced settings in Windows Firewall panel and click Inbound Rules, then check if rules which be related to Remote Desktop were enabled.
If any update, please feel free to let me know.
Hope this helps.

Small Business Server 2011 Remote Web Access RDP doesn't work.

I have setup Windows small business server 2011 and a separate Terminal Server on a Windows Server 2008 r2 box.
Remote Web Access webpage works fine, I can check email and view network drives online. The problem I have is that I cannot connect to any computer using the Connect button.
When I click connect button, a file is downloaded. e.g. QITS.Rdp is downloaded.
Once I run the QITS.rdp, it will ask me for credentials. I input it and will get the following error.
I do not know where to start to look for this problem. Anyone can shed some light?
Toby

Hi Toby,
Just an addition. Did you use an administrator account to logon the RWA and then connect to the remote computer?
Did encounter the same issue?
Meanwhile, please refer to following threads and check if can help you.

Problems setting up Remote Web Access in Windows Storage Server 2008 R2

We just bought a WD Sentinel DX4000 Storage Server and went through the Remote Web Access wizard. It setup the router just fine but when we got to the setup your domain name we have been having
headaches ever since. We chose the option to use our own domain name, which we have registered through GoDaddy. It then showed that yes, our provider was GoDaddy but then it told us we needed to update our service with GoDaddy so we clicked the
"Go to GoDaddy.com" button and it sent us to a page to purchase an SSL certificate. So, we did that but then had issues with it not being able to be managed in our GoDaddy account. So, I went into the domain name with GoDaddy and purchased
a certificate there and got it setup on the domain name with GoDaddy.
The problem is that when I try to go through the wizard again to set up the domain name I still have to click the goDaddy button to move to the next page where I type my domain name, username, and password
with GoDaddy. I setup the remote extension in the A records with GoDaddy as remote.mydomain.com, and put in my username and password with GoDaddy. After I click next it tries to connect to the domain name service provider but then gives me the
following error message over and over:
The domain name was not set up for your server. Wait a few minutes and run the wizard again.
An unexpected or unknown problem occurred. Please wait a few minutes, and then try again.
Well, I have tried this several times and am about to start pulling my hair out. Can anyone please tell me what I may be doing wrong?
Thanks for any help you may be able to provide.

Hi,
Please verify the installed certificate status, you could refer to the article below to install GoDaddy SLL Certificates.

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...

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.

Computers not listed in Remote Web Access site

I have recently completed a migration from SBS 2008 to Server 2012 R2 with Essentials role
It's gone pretty smoothly but I'm having a problem with the PCs I have re-connected to the essentials server not appearing on the Remote Web Access website (they are shown on the WSE dashboard). Is re-using a computer name that was used in SBS 2008
a problem? Some PCs appear for some users on RWA but when I go into the users settings in the WSE dashboard the PCs don't show up under Computer Access, I only see the server members and 1 PC.
I've tried everything I can think of in terms of removing PCs from the domain and reconnecting with a different name.
It's really frustrating I've reconnected 15 of 40 pcs so far, can anyone shed some light on:
a)When PCs should appear on the RWA site for a particular user?
b)Why PCs aren't listed in the Computer Access tab of a used on the WSE dashboard?
Many thanks in advance.

Thank you for your reply.
I had restarted the server twice before my initial post and that didn't fix the issue.
It has mysteriously rectified itself in the last few days. I could connect to the client via RD Gateway even before the problem rectified itself.
I'm not sure if it's related but all PCs and servers usually show as offline / sleeping in RWA even when they are powered on. On the day the PCs appeared in Computer Access they also appeared as powered on in RWA. They have since reverted
to showing as off\sleeping in RWA.
I will be connecting another batch of PCs in the next week or two so will see how that goes.

Tracks out of order when playing album through Remote Web Access

When you choose an album (CD if you want) in Remote Web Access and play it, the tracks don't play in the original order. You can drag and drop to reorder them, but you have to know the right order. Is there a way to fix this or is this just a
failing of the Remote Web Access software? Thanks in advance.

I'm having the same issue. Ever find a solution for this?

Can I install WSUS alongside Windows Essentials Experience Role without killing IIS & Remote web access?

Can I install WSUS alongside Windows Essentials Experience Role without killing IIS & Remote web access?
I have recently installed Windows Server 2012 Essentials R2, but I want to use WSUS on the same server. Is this possible, if so how? Last time I tried this I lost my Remote Web Access.
I did post this in the Windows server 2012 essentials thread but didn't get any replies so thought I'd try posting it here to see if I got any hits here?
Is there a way to get WSUS to install to different web ports i.e. 880 & 8443? Or can I get it to install in a new site in IIS? Its just I know that the Essentials Experience role sets up RWA in IIS and installing the WSUS on top just overwrites
the RWA site & settings? I assume this is also why Remote Desktop Services does the same?
Thanks

Can I install WSUS alongside Windows Essentials Experience Role without killing IIS & Remote web access?
http://blogs.technet.com/b/sbs/archive/2013/06/25/how-to-install-wsus-3-0-sp2-on-windows-server-2012-essentials.aspx
Last time I tried this I lost my Remote Web Access.
Remote Web Access uses the Default Web Site. If you install WSUS to the Default Web Site, it will break things. Install WSUS to the alternate "WSUS Administration" site on port 8530.
Is there a way to get WSUS to install to different web ports i.e. 880 & 8443?
No.
Or can I get it to install in a new site in IIS?
Just select the option during the installer to do that.

Remote Web Access stopped working

Alright so this is really strange but i have just recently had problems with this. So one day i went to my domain (bought from GoDaddy.com) in order to get access to my remote web access in windows server 2012 essentials. I have had no problems with it
so far.... all ports are forwarded correctly and i have a valid ssl cert. The page displays "Remote Web Access is turned off
To turn on Remote Web Access, you need to have a client computer with Windows Server Connector installed, and then start the Dashboard to enable Remote Web Access."... it was enabled just fine before. I have tried migrating to a free Microsoft domain but
same message appears no matter what. It seems RWA is broken? how do i fix this?

Hi Lambro690,
Based on your description, please refer to the following operations and troubleshoot this issue.
On Windows Server 2012 Essentials, run the Windows Server 2012 Essentials Best Practices Analyzer (BPA). Please check and fix all issue that it can find, then monitor the
result.
Open Dashboard, select Settings option and click Anywhere Access tab. Then click the Repair button. Please check if can help you to find some clues or solve this issue.
Please check port 80, 443 were set up correctly on the router. Please refer to the article:
Troubleshoot Remote Web Access connectivity in Windows Server Essentials
On Windows Server 2012 Essentials, browser the default web site in IIS. Please check what you can find.
By the way, did you run the wizard again to enable the RWA? Will encounter this same issue?
If any update, please feel free to let me know.
Hope this helps.

Justin Gu
