RemoteApp Disconnected - Server 2012 R2

I have a single 2012 R2 Standard server setup with all the RDS roles (RD Gateway, Broker, Session Host, Licensing, etc). I am able to publish apps and connect just fine only if the clients have the following setting: Local Policies > Security Options
> Network security: LAN Manager authentication level - SEND NTLM response only. The default for windows clients is "Send LM & NTLM - use NTLMv2 sessions security if negotiated". In the past, I have just applied this setting to all the clients
via GPO. However, this server will have primarily external users that are not a part of this domain. What setting(s) can I changed on the RDS server to prevent me from having to make any changes on the client's computers?

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Firstly please check that you have configures RD Gateway setting properly. You need to configure RD RAP and RD CAP properties. After creating the RD RAP, add the user groups that you defined in the RD CAP. Also, create a new RD Gateway-managed computer group
that contains both the NetBIOS names and the fully qualified domain names (FQDNs) of the RD Session Host servers or the RD Session Host server farm that hosts the RemoteApp programs.
As you are using RD Gateway, you need to open TCP port 443 and UDP port 3391 and forward them to your RD Gateway server. Because when external client launches RemoteApp they will connect to RD Gateway via above port, then RD Gateway connect to your internal
RDSH server using TCP and UCP port 3389.
Please check below articles for reference.
Checklist: Make RemoteApp Programs Available from the Internet
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc772415.aspx
In addition also suggest you to update client RDP version to RDP 8.1 for better feature and accessibility.
Hope it helps!
Thanks.

Remoteapp Server 2012 std drawing issues

Hello!
We are hosting an application trough Remoteapp on Server 2012 std. We have been struggling with a screen drawing issue where for example text in a textbox does not appear unless the textbox is clicked or borders of boxes are hidden until moving mouse over
them. Running the application trough full rdp session works perfectly. Our client machines are running on Windows 7 with latest updates.
We have tried changing some remoteFX settings but nothing seems to be working. Does anybody have solution or ideas what might work for the described issue?
Thanks

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Any furhter update for your case. Did you check with manufacture of your application, is this supported as RemoteApp?
As test what happens when you publish paint or notepad as RemoteApp, can you work easily with that.
Thanks.

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,

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.

RDP Session Disconnect/Reconnect when RemoteApp is in Not Responding State (Server 2012)

Some of our applications running in our RDS environment tend to enter the Not Responding state while they're waiting for something in the background to happen (open a window, perform a calculation, etc.). When this happens we notice that the RemoteApp session
will quickly disconnect and then reconnect. This causes an issue with dialog boxes. For example, printing to PDF. A lot of time the dialog box for specifying where to save the PDF is in the background because RemoteApp disconnected and reconnected
causing the program your printing from to become the window of focus. This makes user think the program is truly not responding when in reality the dialog box is hidden and waiting for them. They then need to click the icon on the taskbar to access the
dialog window.
To my knowledge we never had this issue with Server 2008 R2. Any help with this is greatly appreciated!
Scott

Hi Scott,
Is the server 2012 R2?
Please confirm in the logs that a disconnect/reconnect is occurring. On the client you would look at TerminalServices-ActiveXCore and on the server side you would look at TerminalServices-LocalSessionManager.
When this happened you had a continuous ping to the server and it did not lose any pings?
Having solid pings is a good sign, but you can still have a network problem that will cause the connection to drop. You may want to update the NIC driver and firmware to the latest version recommended by your server manufacturer.
Additionally you should consider any routers/switches/etc. that are between the clients and the server as potentially suspect. For example, I have seen where a NAT router would drop a connection periodically, then the connection would be re-established
and not have issues (until the next time). One way to test would be to swap in a different make and model router/switch and see if the problem still exists.
Thanks.

RDS 2012 R2 - RemoteApp Disconnected

Hi RDS 2012 R2 Experts,
I would like some guidance here if possible
My setup is a follow.
1x 2012r2 with the following role, Broker, Web access, Gateway and License called RDS01
2x 2012r2 Session Host called RSH01 an RSH02
1x wildcard cert
I would like to my users to be able to either internal and external to use the same link, remote.mydomain.com since my internal domain is mydomain.local
What i have done so far.
Created a DNS Zone called remote.mydomain.com and added the following records there.
REMOTE, it points to web access server IP 192.168.1.31 ( same server for Gateway and Broker )
2x RDSFarm, one record points to RSH01 and the other to RSH02, 192.168.1.32 and 33
Gateway, the record points to 192.168.1.31 ( same servers as broker and web access)
Broker, the record points to 192.168.1.31 ( same servers as web access and gateway)
i have set the gateway manager the following
Edited the deployment RD Gateway to remote.mydomain.com
Installed the wildcert for all the roles, *.mydomain.com in all 4 roles
created Manage Local computer groups and added both RSH01 and 02, RDSFarm record, remote record, gateway record and broker record
linked the allowed resources with the policy and users ( also tried allow users to connect to any resources )
configure the gateway in the RD Gateway farm
Configured the IIS to
auto redirect
and the DefaultTSGAteway under Pages to remote.mydomain.com
Also I used the Set-PublishName (http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/Change-published-FQDN-for-2a029b80) to change it to broker.mydomain.com
Now, the issue I have is, when users either internally or externally try to launch a RemoteApp they get the error.
RemoteApp Disconnected
This computer cant connect to the remote computer.
Try connecting again.
To overcome this error I did the following:
Set-PublishName to RDSFarm.mydomain.com ( it is using the round robin to get to the session host servers)
There is two problem with this setup.
I no longer can shadow the users under Connections in the broker ( it seems to be bypassed )
I get certificate mismatch due the servers names
What I would like to achieve is to fix both problems above.
Thanks for any advice in advance.
N0tl3_Bouya

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Initially check that you have applied external used FQDN of server under Server name in RD Gateway Deployment properties and used Bypass RD Gateway for local address.
Please try to perform the steps
• Create a new DNS zone, .COM to allow split-brain DNS (so that internal clients can resolve external names internally)
• Create a relevant DNS entry in the aforementioned zone to point to the RDS environment’s internal IP address
• Create a relevant DNS entry in external DNS to point to the firewall which is publishing RDS’s external IP address
• Use the following script to change the FQDN of the RDP files provided by RD Web Access / RemoteApp and Desktop connection feed
Change published FQDN for Server 2012 or 2012 R2 RDS Deployment
http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/Change-published-FQDN-for-2a029b80
In addition, for shadow related issue you can use the server in administrative mode use mstsc /shadow command and check the result.

Windows 8.1 Pro cannot log into RemoteApp running on Windows Server 2012 R2

I have setup a vm running Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard and have enabled multiple RemoteApps. Everything is setup correctly and I can use RD Web Access to access the portal and connect to the remoteapps from any computer except my own. I am
running Windows 8.1 Pro and when I log into the RD Web Access portal, click on one of the apps, it looks like it's loading the session, but gets stuck on Preparing Windows. Everything else up to that point looks like it loads correctly, (i.e. -
Applying Group Policy Settings, applying desktop, etc...). When I log into my Windows 7 dev machine, I can access and run everything just fine. So there must be something between the Windows 8 and 2012 that isn't working quite right.
I have tried logging into the portal as myself and test users...same result.
any ideas?
Jon Wooten

i think there is something in your GPOs or collection settings causing an issue
this happens with any remote app, built-in stuff like notepad or just third party apps?
try not doing any kind of printer/device redirection from that host
you can also do winlogon logging to get a better idea of what's going on during the logon operation
you can also use the verbose logon messages GPO to get detailed login status info
if all else fails I think you need to isolate it by creating a test collection and test user with the bare minimum options

How can I Create a Client Configuration File for RemoteApp and Desktop Connection with Server 2012?

I have a working RDS RemoteApp site and looking to test out the feature in Windows 7 Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\RemoteApp and Desktop Connections
I came across this link: Create a Client Configuration File for RemoteApp and Desktop Connection and I believe this is what I need to do first, but these instructions are for
Server 2008, and I'm running 2012.
Any suggestions or tips on how I can begin testing this with Server 2012?

Hi,
You can manually enter the path to the 2012 feed and it will connect and download the RemoteApps and Desktop connections.
If you need a sample .wcx file I have posted one here a couple of times. If you want I will look for it and post a link.
-TP
I tried adding my URL's below, these are sample links that work for me right now for when I log into the web page, but neither of these work. And I'm not sure what I would need to do with or how to create a .wcx file.
When I type in my URL of: https://connect.mydomain.org/RDWeb, I get redirected to:
https://connect.mydomain.org/RDWeb/Pages/en-US/login.aspx?ReturnUrl=/RDWeb/Pages/en-US/Default.aspx

Windows Server 2012 Used: Error Message from Windows 7 PC: Remote session was disconnected because there are no remote desktop license servers available to provide a license. Please contact the server administrator.

We are using Windows Server 2012 Standard installed in VMWare / Virtual machine and to access this we use vSphere client and Remote Desktop Connection / service was already enabled and was working fine with User PCs / laptops remote desktop into the server
2012, until it gave an error message of: Remote session was disconnected because there are no remote desktop license servers available to provide a license. Please contact the server administrator. whilst logging into the server.
We DON'T use Active Directory nor and we don't use domain and not looking to use it any-time soon.
I checked the RD Licensing Diagnoser and it says the grace period has expired and the licensing mode for the remote desktop session host server is not configured. I have checked the Remote Desktop Gateway has been stopped and I tried to start it and it
resumed to stop, here I assume its where the licensing part comes in to re-enabled this.
I have been trying to follow these articles online: http://ryanmangansitblog.com/2013/03/27/deploying-remote-desktop-gateway-rds-2012/ and http://www.concurrency.com/blog/rds8-add-a-licensing-server-2/#Install the overview part that I cannot get into,
because I think we have to be is AD DS for this which we don't. Is there a way around this for non domain / just standalone set-up? Is it a must / requirement we need to be in a domain in order for Remote Desktop Connection to work?
Also, we have a Windows Server 2012 RDS CALs - 10 (software and licence key), will the licence key work for the Windows 2012 Server Standard? We do not want to install the other Server mentioned which comes with CAL / licence key as its time consuming
to reinstall other programs. I have installed Server role service of Remote Desktop Licencing and automatically installed other associated services needed. in the RD Licencing Manager, the Server had a red cross and I "Activate Server"
where I followed: http://www.concurrency.com/blog/rds8-add-a-licensing-server-2/#Install in Install Licences section and I have used the licence key of CAL - 10 mentioned above; it stated I have successfully completed the install licences wizard and displayed:
10 Windows Server 2012 - RDS Per User CAL installed, and in the RD Licensing Manager the server turned into a green tick and added the licence.
I then tested the Remote desktop connection from my PC and the same error message was there and checked the RD Licensing Diagnoser and the same error messages was there. I haven't restart the services of Remote Gateway / the server itself; do I really
need to reboot server?
Any advice / guidance would be very much appreciated and this is a urgent matter.
Thank you for your time.

Hi,
Please let us know if you have purchased RDS CALs and install it in your RD licensing server.
Also, on RD Session host servers, please make sure that you have specified the license mode and point them to the RD licensing server.

RemoteApp Server Name Setting in Server 2012

Hi all,
we are using RD Web Access with IE 10 to provide our windows application to the users. The server is running windows server 2008 R2.
Now we are installing a new Server 2012.
In Server 2008 R2 it is possible to define the server name for the remoteapp clients in the remoteapp-manager (e.g. "test.de").
Where is this defined in Server 2012?
Thanks a lot in advance

RDS (Server 2012) RemoteApp Question

We have an application which 30+ users currently have installed on their workstations. Any time the client needs an update, that requires either touching all those workstations, or scripting something.To simplify maintenance, we're exploring the possibility of running it as a RemoteApp on a Server 2012 R2 instance of Remote Desktop Services.So far it's working perfectly, with one exception... The application has a window in which any website can be displayed. We currently have it set to our internal Confluence instance.The problem I'm having is that users are unable to log into Confluence when using this RemoteApp. There are no errors; you just enter the credentials in the proper fields, and click the log in button - and NOTHING happens. It's not a showstopper; but if we roll this out to our users, I want it to work 100%.I found an...

RemoteApp Ghosts in RDWeb - Server 2012 R2

Hi all! Anyone else raring to go on an RDS 2012 R2 deployment? I am currently configuring a new RDS 2012 R2 farm. Roles are separated like:
-Session host
-Connection broker
-Web access
-Gateway
Suddenly, RDWeb began populating what appeared to be duplicate RemoteApps. One of each pair was the RemoteApp configured in the collection, and the other is one of my troublesome "ghosts". I've gone so far as to uninstall every role
on every server in the farm, and upon reinstalling, the ghost RemoteApp objects are still there. In fact, when I ran through the initial config again following the uninstall, the RemoteApp "ghosts" actually still appeared on the RDWeb site
even before I configured a session collection again on the CB. Any ideas as to what might cause this? I have a feeling I could rebuild the CB and get positive results, but I'm a little more concerned with this behavior in terms of rolling out the
farm to our organization. Should this happen in the future, I am going to need to know why and how to fix it.
Does anyone know the top-down mechanism by which RDWeb populates RemoteApps, so that we can try to determine from where on earth the CB (or the WA) server is pulling these ghosts? I should mention that I am familiar with the web.config file, in which
you can add FQDN strings for legacy (08R2) SH's. No such config is in place, but having messed with that early-on in my Server 2012 (not R2) test bed, I can say that the appearance of those "ghost" RemoteApps, and their failure to disappear
even when the CB reports no collections, feels in appearance and behavior like the result of having configured legacy SH's.
Any comments/thoughts are greatly appreciated!

Aha! Spot on answer, TP []! Two entities in that location were collections that I had removed via the GUI. They were still reflected in the the list, though, causing RDWeb to populate the "ghost" RemoteApps that were no longer configured
in any collections visible in Server Manager on the CB. Interestingly, when I added new collections, a new RemoteApp icon with corresponding title (test") showed up on RDWeb, not applications published beneath the collection. But all weird behavior
is now resolved. Thanks for your help!
