Remote webapp freezes immediately after login in Server 2012 R2

Used the wizard and setup made a RDS deployment.  2 session hosts 1 server for Connction broker and License  and one server for Gateway and web access.
Regular remote desktop works fine.  Even through the web interface.
I just published Calc.  When I try to access it and show the details, it logs on the then freezes at "Preparing Windows".  Then the window will time out and close.
I am unable to find anything in the event viewer regarding this.
Anybody have some suggestions?

Hi,
How is everything going on? 
Firstly I would like to know, which version of RDP client you are using in your environment. I suggest to use RDP 8.0 or 8.1 for better feature and also the user must always use Domain\Username whenever logging to RDWeb App. 
You can try to change the path of RemoteApp as per this
thread (Answered by phil). Also try to make default logon domain for RD Web, get more information from
this thread.
Hope it helps!
Thanks,
Dharmesh

  • My iTunes freezes immediately after opening. How do I fix it?

    My iTunes (10.2.2) application freezes immediately after opening. This is after having to check the library. I have left it frozen before for several minutes before force quitting. What should I do?

  • RDL Reports are not working after installing SQL Server 2012 Service Pack 2 in the SharePoint integration Mode

    I am using Reporting Service Integration mode with SharePoint. SSRS is installed on separated machine of SharePoint stacks in Integration Mode. Everything was working properly and I could create/edit/modify RDL reports(parameters, Datasource, Subscription)
    inside SharePoint and Document Libraries.
    But after installing SQL Server 2012 Service Pack 2, on opening RDL reports inside SharePoint I receive this error message. 
    The permissions granted to user 'i:0#.f|membership|username' are insufficient for performing this operation. ---> Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.AccessDeniedException: The permissions granted to user 'i:0#.f|membership|username' are insufficient for performing this operation
    I should mention that SSRS is installed in the SharePoint integration Mode and there is no SSRS management console.

    Hi Hedayat-Abedijoo,
    According to your description, you are using Reporting Services in SharePoint Integrated mode, and everything worked fine before you install SQL Server 2012 Service Pack 2. After the package is installed, when you open RDL reports, the error occurred: The
    permissions granted to user 'i:0#.f|membership|username' are insufficient for performing this operation.
    According to my search, there may be two reasons for the problem:
    This is caused when the application pool account that runs the SharePoint Web application you are on in IIS and the application pool account that SharePoint believes is running the site differ. This happens if the application pool account is changed directly
    in IIS instead of through SharePoint (using the approved method).
    This error can be caused when Kerberos authentication has been set up correctly and delegation in a double hop scenario will succeed, but Reporting Services integration has been set up for Trusted Account rather than Windows Authentication. This causes
    SharePoint to continue to impersonate the logged-on user when contacting Reporting Services; when Reporting Services compares the application pool account to the user account making the request, they are not equal.
    In this case, we can solve the problem by changing the application pool account in IIS back to the previous account and set AuthenticationTypes to RSWindowsNTLM only. For detail information, please refer to 8.3 “The permissions granted to user 'Domain\User'
    are insufficient for performing this operation” in the document:http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee384252(SQL.100).aspx
    If you have any questions, please feel free to let me know.

  • Adobe CC won't launch, Photoshop freezes immediately after launch, help!

    Hello, I would appreciate any suggestions on how to solve this issue. It started with Photoshop CC freezing, as in spinning color wheels of death immediately after launch. I have tried launching with a file, without a file, from Lightroom, independently, nothing works, but spinning wheel until I force quit.
    So I tried to update, thinking it wpould help. Adobe CC won't launch at all, no error message, no force quit, just nothing happens. I tried uninstalling both, but unistall just hangs, bouncing in the dock for all eternity until I force quit. The Adobe Application Manager will not launch, and also hangs until a force quit.
    The machine is a MacPro OSX 10.7.5 with 3.2 GHz Quad-Core 8GB with no other issues. I have done no updates, no new programs, apps, fonts or plugins in weeks, and the Adobe CC stuff has been working until two days ago. No other issues with the machine I have noticed, and Lightroom and PS CS6 are both working as usual. Restarts have no effect.
    I have attempted to start PS CC using command-shift-option thinking the preferences might be causing an issue, but got the same hanging result. Renaming the OOBE file has not worked. Help!

    Have you had any luck with this? I've been experiencing the same since Creative Cloud started... happens with all creative cloud apps. I removed the creative cloud desktop app as that was the most troublesome and would often hang everything after waking from sleep. Helped a little but waking from sleep still creates the issue and I have to restart the computer. If I do get an app working and I go to update through the help menu, that app hangs. I've read in other discussions that you need to change the user (which is ******** and very time consuming) but like an idiot I did that and... surprise, suprise, same problem. Never seen adobe come back on this one.

  • Unable to login Windows Server 2012 after making local policy changes

    Experts, we have modified the local policy setting on the windows server 2012 and badly it was domain controller now none of the users are able to login to the server. After entering the user name and password it will launch till welcome screen then it errors
    out saying user name or password incorrect. below are the steps which we followed
    1. Policy setting is located in Computer Configuration\Security Settings\Local Policies\Security Options \Network security: Configure encryption types allowed for Kerberos values change from Not Configured to DES_CBC_MD5
    2. changed user attribute msDS-SupprtdEncryptionTypes to 2 , this account we were used for kerberos authentication. 
    3. Logged off from the server and then server doesn't allow any user to login.
    regards,
    Jakk 

    Have you tried connecting to the server from a 2nd DC? Have you tried installing the RSAT tools on a domain member server and modify the offending policy ?
    last choice would be restart the DC into safe mode. 

  • Initiate logout immediately after login

    Hello MacOSX users,
    I'm in a situation here where I would like to force an unconditional logout immediately after a successful authenication to login. Users are authenticating against Active Directory. Using AD support already present in Snow Leopard. Have tsch script defined to run at login.
    Reason I want to do this, is to deny access to our iMacs for community borrowers and visitors to our library. (iMacs are to be used only by students, staff, and faculty at our University).
    I can easily identify the users that I need to block via my login shell script. Once identified, though, I don't know what to do next? How do I tell MacOSX to abort the login process and return to the login screen? In otherwords, immediately perform an "unconditional" logout?
    I know I can block access by creating a number of local user accounts on each iMac computer but I'm trying to avoid having to do this. I'm looking for an easier way out. (I'm lazy :-)
    Has anyone here ever attempted to do anything like this?
    cheers,
    Mark Ponsford

    I found a fix for this.
    3 things can be done:
    1) Disable .NET framework 3.5 (which includes 2.0 or 3.0) and restart,if this doesnt work go to Step 2
    2) Completetly uninstall and reinstall Skype, if this doesnt work then go to Step 3
    3) Update the BIOS of your machine with the latest one 
    Any of the above steps should work brilliantly for you

  • Pulseaudio network stream stops after login on server

    Hi, guys something strange is hapenning. I have 2 machines, a desktop station and a laptop. My audio system is connected to the desktop and so I wanted to be able to use it on my laptop. I have set up the dekstop as pulse server and my laptop is the client and I am able to connect them and playback over the network but this works as long as nobody is logged in on the server. After someone logs in the audio stops and the applications on my laptop which stream to the server freeze. After the user on the server logs out the playback resumes. What could be the reason for this?

    I believe this a major Apple bug. This behavior is new and oftentimes (if ever) doesn't correct itself after a server reboot. It's ridiculous that you can't log into a network account at the server, even Windows isn't that stupid. I spent many hours w/ Apple's Enterprise support team and they never considered that to be an issue until later. That suggests to me that it's a problem they discovered after release of Yosemite and as a CYA tried to make us believe that it's expected behavior. The kb article that Linc references only indicates that users may have trouble logging in. Logging in is not the issue, it's that the Finder hangs for some unknown reason. However, once logged in you can traverse the directory structure no problem in Terminal. It's also strange that you get no error trying to mount a volume from the command line using diskutil even though it won't appear on the Desktop. Like Hydro_host I occasionally need to use my server as another workstation for my small home network. This needs to get fixed! 

  • After Installing SQL Server 2012 Service Pack the RDL reports do not work

    I installed SQL Server 2012 Service Pack on backEnd sharepoint and also on BI Server that host Reporting Service.(Before installation everything was working properly)
    After this installation the RDL reports do not open and I receive this error message.
    The permissions granted to user 'domain\username' are insufficient for performing this operation. (rsAccessDenied)
    I also receive the same error message on changing DataSource, Parameters and subscription.
    I should mention that, I am using Reporting Services in the Integration Mode. I want to open and modify RDL reports from SharePoint and inside the SharePoint Document Library.

    Hi Hedayat,
    Thanks for posting your issue,
    To solve this problem you have to grant your SQL Reporting Service Application Pool
    Account (whatever is running your SQL Service Application, see Central Admin -> Manage Service Application -> SQL Server Reporting Services)
    Full Control to the web application that report is being deployed to in your particular case.
    Or you could just use the powershell command below:
    $webApp = Get-SPWebApplication –Identity http://yoursharepointapp 
    $webApp.GrantAccessToProcessIdentity(“domain\SSRSAccount”)

  • [Forum FAQ] "Unable to connect to the server by using Windows PowerShell Remoting" error while installing RDS roles on Server 2012 R2

    When you try to install RDS role on server 2012 R2 using standard deployment, this issue may occur (Figure 1).
    “Unable to connect to the server by using Windows PowerShell remoting”.
    Figure 1: Unable to connect to the server by using Windows PowerShell remoting
    First of all, we need to verify the configurations as it suggested:
    1. The server must be available by using Windows PowerShell remotely.
    2. The server must be joined to a domain.
    3. The server must be running at least Windows Server 2012 R2.
    4. The currently logged on user must be a member of the local Administrators group on the server.
    5. Remote Desktop Services connections must be enabled by using Group Policy.
    In addition, we need to check if the “Windows Remote Management “service is running and related firewall exceptions have been created for WinRM listener.
    To enabling PowerShell remoting, we can run this PowerShell command as administrator (Figure 2).
    Enable-PSRemoting -Force
    Figure 2: Enable PowerShell Remoting
    However, if issue persists, we need to check whether it has enough memory to work.
    By default, remote shell allots only 150 MB of memory. If we have IIS or SharePoint App pool, 150 MB of memory is not sufficient to perform the remoting task. Therefore, we need to increase
    the memory via the PowerShell command below:
    Set-Item WSMan:\localhost\Shell\MaxMemoryPerShellMB 1000
    Then, you need to restart the server and the issue should be resolved.
    You can get more information regarding Remote Troubleshooting by below link:

    i found another possible reason, this solution worked for me:
    http://oyvindnilsen.com/solution-for-powershell-remoting-error-it-cannot-determine-the-content-type-of-the-http-response-from-the-destination-computer/
    I tried to set up powershell remoting on a server and kept getting this error:
    Enter-PSSession : Connecting to remote server failed with the following error message : The WinRM client cann
    ot process the request. It cannot determine the content type of the HTTP response from the destination comput
    er. The content type is absent or invalid. For more information, see the about_Remote_Troubleshooting Help to
    pic.
    After a bit of troubleshooting I discovered that the problem was that the authentication packets was to big (over 16k), this will cause WinRM to reject the request. The reason for authentication packets getting too big can be because the user is member of very
    many security groups or in my case because of the SidHistory attribute.
    The solution was to increase the MaxFieldLength and MaxRequestBytes keys in the registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\HTTP\Parameters
    If the keys does not exists you can create them, be sure to use the DWORD type.
    I sat MaxFieldLength to DEC value 40000 and MaxRequestBytes to DEC value 32768 and rebooted the server. Problem solved.

  • The remote desktop session host configuration & Remote session shadowing options missing in Windows server 2012.

    Hi All,
    I am using a Windows server 2012 Standard. When i leave my session idle for more than 20 min it disconnects and post more 20 minutes my session is logged off.
    I know this setting can be changed from Remote desktop session host configuration in Windows server 2008 R2. But this option "Remote desktop session host configuration" is not there in Windows server 2012. Does any one have an idea where do i go
    and edit these settings in the Server 2012 o/s ?
    Also the Remote session shadowing option is also not available when i right click a user in the task manager. Any idea on an alternate method in Windows server 2012 ?
    Gautam.75801

    Exactly WHERE are the W2K12 R2 equivalent GPO settings to W2K8 R2 GPO settings of "Set time limit for disconnected sessions" and "set time limit for active but idle Remote Desktop Services
    sessions"?  Microsoft changed the remote desktop/terminal services around.  
    Appreciate it.

  • Mirror and Witness Connection in a Disconnected state immediately after adding Witness Server to Mirror session.

    After adding the Witness Server to the Mirror session, the Witness Connection state between the Mirror and Witness Connection is Disconnected and the state between Principal and Witness Connection is Connected.
    The procedures defined in Books Online was used to setup Database Mirroring...when the Witness server was added to the Mirror session, only the alter database T-SQL statement was executed on the Principal server.
    ALTER DATABASE <db_name> SET WITNESS = 'TCP://<servername>:<port>'
    After executing the above statement, a few seconds later the state between Principal and Witness Connection changed to Connected and the state between Mirror and Witness Connection remains Disconnected.
    The Mirror session is not using Certificates, every server is on the same domain, using the same domain login account, and all servers have SP2 installed running Enterprise Edition.
    Any idea's why the state between Mirror and Witness Connection remains Disconnected?
    Thanks,

    I have the same problem.  All 3 servers are on a workgroup and I'm using certificates. All three servers are connected via  switch.  This is a test environment, with the principal server being a 64 bit OS with Windows Server 2003 R2 with SQL Server standard x64, the witness server is a Windows server 2003 SP2 x32 with SQL Server Express, and the mirror is Windows XP x32 with Sql Server Standard. Using hard coded static IP addresses (FQDN makes no difference, and they get resolved to IP addresses anyway!).  The mirror server log shows
    'The server instance Witness rejected configure request, read its error log file for more information
    but of course there are no errors logged on the witness server - not by SQL, nor in the event log.  When the witness is set on the princial server, the Database mirroring monitor shows almost immediately that the witness and prinicapl servers are connected, but it takes quite a few seconds before the witness/mirror state is shown as disconnected.  Until then the entry is blank.  The monitor also shows High Saftey with automatic failover, which isn;t true - since the mirror and witness are not connected, no failover occurs when the principal is taken offline.
    Since I'm running terminal services on the XP machine to interact with the witness and principal server, I find it hard to image that there are network issues. 
    If the witness can connect with the principal and the principal can conect with the mirror, under what circumstances will the witness NOT connect with the mirror?  When I check the witness server for entries in the database_mirroring_witness view the following is shown:
    RTJobs TCP://primary-sql:5022 TCP://192.168.100.14:5022 2 FULL 1 1 2263BD97-1004-4D73-9966-7AFB89E5626E A6EE18DF-19C4-48EC-8C06-77074EF5A275 0 1
    Interestingly the IP address of the prinical server is replaced by the Sql Server instance name (primary-sql) but this doesn't happen for the witness.  

  • WebDynpro expires immediately after login. After a refresh it's ok.

    Hi all,
    the following behaviour is new to us since we moved from pilot to productive operation and therefore a lot more users are working with the application.
    Our application consists of two webdynpro iViews. One in the dynamic navigation area of the portal and one in the content area. The last one is triggered via client side eventing.
    The error appears by following these steps:
    - open browser
    - login to the portal
    - navigate to the webdynpro application:
    We now can see the two iViews. No error at this time.
    - fire client side event at navigation webdynpro-iView
    Now the webdynpro iView in the content area displayes an error message:
    500   Internal Server Error
    SAP J2EE Engine/6.40
    Die Web-Dynpro-Anwendung 'UnscheduledOvertimeAppl' ist abgelaufen.
    Starten Sie die Anwendung erneut mit der Auffrischen-Option oder
    wählen Sie den folgenden Link UnscheduledOvertimeAppl.
    Details:   No details available
    Above means the webdynpro application has expired.
    By newly navigating to the application everything works fine until the end of the expiration time. It's set in the webdynpro application properties to 43200 (12 hours).
    The error is reproducable by following the sequence of steps.
    Does someone have an idea or hint to come to an solution?
    For example:
    I wonder if there is something like a session pool which is full.
    Any idea is welcome.
    Thank you and regards,

    First thing: use the [co[b]de] tags when posting code. There's a code button when you post.

So your error occurs when the LoginSplash.main method calls the LoginSplash constructor (that's what <init> means) and it calls initComponents and it calls equalizeButtonSizes, etc. It is possible but unlikely that the problem is with the methods supplied from java.awt - it is more likely the problem is with your methods.
    When equalizeButtonSizes calls getStringBounds, it passes g, a reference to a Graphics object. I suspect that g is null. You can prove this by putting System.out.println(g); after "Graphics g = getGraphics();
    getGraphics() will return null if the Component is not displayable.

  • Apple TV freezing immediately after startup

    Hi, I've been away for a fortnight and suddenly my Apple TV no longer works. It starts up as normal and shows the startup video clip, then it displays the menu with "Top Movies" selected, however it doesn't display any movie thumbnails above the menu like it used to. The remote won't do anything at this stage (except the white light on the Apple TV flashes when a button is pressed).
    Then after 4 minutes 20 secs (same time every time) the Apple TV restarts by itself and comes up with the language choice and then the recovery screen. I ran the diagnostics check and it said it's working correctly. The remote works at this point.
    If I then choose to restart the startup clip displays and then it freezes exactly as before.
    Using "IP Scanner" I can see that it's on the network and I can ping it. However it doesn't show up as a device in iTunes and I can't connect to it with Remote app on my iPhone.
    It's running the latest Apple TV OS, though at the moment I have no way of finding out what that version is right now as it freezes!
    I live in the UK - could it be possible that it's trying to display a movie thumbnail that's causing it too freeze? I've had this problem with a video in My Movies that I encoded using VisualHub.
    I'd rather not do a factory restore at this stage because I've changed the original 40GB HD to 120GB and had problems doing a factory restore when I last had problems with it over a year ago.
    Many thanks in advance for any suggestions

    It IS hot, but looking through other posts it would seem to be normal for ATV.
    It does get hotter than you might expect without it being a problem, heat is dissipated through the casing, the bit you need to watch for is the ambient air temperature, if the heat is unable to escape because it is an excessively warm environment or it is placed in a cabinet, problems can occur. However in such circumstances it seems that the unit doesn't restart properly straight away, ie it seems to need to cool, and it also seems that this doesn't necessitate a restore.
    (AaMoI, where did you get the avatar from and can it be stored in Fonts? - just curious).
    , this one. (shift + alt + K)
    By component do you mean a cable with three different coloured plug-ins?
    Yes
    I was leaning towards early sign of hardware failure, but because it works normally for awhile after a factory restore, perhaps as you suggest there's a faulty cable or a software glitch.
    May or may not be, but it's possible, so I'd tend to try it myself.
