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
Ulrich Schumacher

Hi,
You may download the cmdlet below to your RD Connection Broker server and use it to change the name:

  • 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.

  • Set up Search Service App For SharePoint server 2013 on Windows server 2012 R2 not working

    Hi all,
    I installed SharePoint server 2013 on Windows  server 2012 R2 using VirtualBox.  I created a DC(domain controller) server with a domain set up on one VM and it has SQL server 2012 SP1 installed. Then SharePoint 2013 on another VM was set up to access
    the DC server.  Everything seems working except Search Service App which cannot be sucessfully set up. Creation process for Search service app says Successful and 4 search databases were created and look fine. But when I navigate to search service app
    admin page, it gives error info:
    System status:  The search service is not able to connect to the machine that hosts the administration component. Verify that the administration component '386f2cd6-47ca-4b3a-aeb5-d9116772ef16' in search application 'Search Service Application 1' is in
    a good state and try again.
    Search Application Topology:  Unable to retrieve topology component health states. This may be because the admin component is not up and running.
    From event viewer, I see following errors:

    Since separate DC server and SharePoint server do not work, I installed SharePoint 2013 on DC server ( so DC server has everything on it now ) but it gives exactly same result. Later I installed SharePoint 2013 SP1 and still have the same problem with Search
    Service app. I spent two weeks tried all suggestions available from Web and Google but SharePoint Search Service simply does not work. Config and other databases work but why Search Service has this issue seemingly related to search DB.
    Could anybody please help out? You deserve a top SharePoint consultant award if you could find a solution. I am so frustrated and so tired by this issue.    This seems also to be a SP set up issue.
    Thanks a lot.

    Using new Search Service App wizard to create SSA is always a success. I could delete existing SSA and recreate it and no problem. It says successful but when I open Search Admin page from CA, it gives me errors as mentioned.

  • Server 2012 - Can't access external website from internal domain with same name. Tried everything.

    Hello All.
    I have read loads of forums and tried numerous fixes and configurations, but nothing seems to work and I am extremely frustrated at this point.
    I have a client where I setup Server 2012 Standard with Exchange 2013. After reading best practice documentation for DNS naming and reasons not to use ".LOCAL" I opted to use ".com.na" in which case the Internal Domain Name and Internet
    Website now has the same name.
    When attempting to open the extarnal website eg. "www.company.com.na" from a client PC within the internal "company.com.na" Domain, I keep getting error "403 - Forbidden: Access is denied. You do not have permission to view this
    directory or page using the credentials that you supplied."
    I should also mention, the website is hosted by an ISP and not locally.
    I added a "www" Host record in the Forward Lookup Zone, I have added the url and ip address to the Hosts file on a client pc (Windows 7) and even tried setting up Split-Brains DNS. Nothing seems to work.
    Running a Tracert takes me to the correct public ip address of the website, but I keep getting this 403 error.
    I am so sick and tired of this issue that iI am at the point of backing up the Exchange and re-rolling the entire server with the ".local" DNS domain name. I have a mirror setup in a VMWare environment and simply using "rendom" to rename
    the domain seems to cause new issues with Exchange connectivity.
    Any pointers and help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.
    Hentie Loots

    I opted to use ".com.na" in which case the Internal Domain Name and Internet Website
    now has the same name.
    This ends up with a split-DNS stup for internal and external resolution which requires extra administration tasks and attention from the administrators.
    When attempting to open the extarnal website eg. "www.company.com.na" from a client PC within the internal "company.com.na" Domain, I keep getting error "403 - Forbidden: Access is denied. You do not have permission to view
    this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied."
    I should also mention, the website is hosted by an ISP and not locally.
    I added a "www" Host record in the Forward Lookup Zone, I have added the url and ip address to the Hosts file on a client pc (Windows 7) and even tried setting up Split-Brains DNS. Nothing seems to work.
    Running a Tracert takes me to the correct public ip address of the website, but I keep getting this 403 error.
    This means that you are able to reach the Website but it is responding with the access denied error message. That should be checked on the middleware level so if this is IIS running then I would recommend asking them in IIS forum: http://forums.iis.net/
    If this is a Website that is completely managed by your ISP then I would recommend checking with them.

  • XML Schema Collection (SQL Server 2012): How to create an XML Schema Collection that can be used to Validate a field name (column title) of an existing dbo Table of a Database in SSMS2012?

    Hi all,
    I used the following code to create a new Database (ScottChangDB) and a new Table (marvel) in my SQL Server 2012 Management Studio (SSMS2012) successfully:
    -- ScottChangDB.sql saved in C://Documents/SQL Server XQuery_MacLochlainns Weblog_code

    USE master
    IF EXISTS

    FROM sys.databases
    WHERE name = 'ScottChangDB')
    DROP DATABASE ScottChangDB
    GO
    CREATE DATABASE ScottChangDB
    GO
    USE ScottChangDB
    CREATE TABLE [dbo].[marvel] (
    [avenger_name] [char] (30) NULL, [ID] INT NULL)
    INSERT INTO marvel
    (avenger_name,ID)
    VALUES
    ('Hulk', 1),
    ('Iron Man', 2),
    ('Black Widow', 3),
    ('Thor', 4),
    ('Captain America', 5),
    ('Hawkeye', 6),
    ('Winter Soldier', 7),
    ('Iron Patriot', 8);
    SELECT avenger_name FROM marvel ORDER BY ID For XML PATH('')

    FROM @x.nodes('.') AS Tbl(person)
    ORDER BY NAME DESC
    --Or if you want the completed element
    SELECT @x.query('/Marvel[4]/avenger_name')
    DROP TABLE [marvel]
    Now I am trying to create my first XML Schema Collection to do the Validation on the Field Name (Column Title) of the "marvel" Table. I have studied Chapter 4 XML SCHEMA COLLECTIONS of the book "Pro SQL Server 2008 XML" written by
    Michael Coles (published by Apress) and some beginning pages of XQuery Language Reference, SQL Server 2012 Books ONline (published by Microsoft). I mimicked  Coles' Listing 04-05 and I wanted to execute the following first-drafted sql in
    my SSMS2012:
    -- Reference [Scott Chang modified Listing04-05.sql of Pro SQL Server 2008 XML by Michael Coles (Apress)]
    -- [shcColes04-05.sql saved in C:\\Documents\XML_SQL_Server2008_code_Coles_Apress]

    GO
    DROP XML SCHEMA COLLECTION dbo.ComplexTestSchemaCollection_all;

    I feel that drafted sql is very shaky and it needs the SQL Server XML experts to modify to make it work for me. Please kindly help, exam the coding of my shcXMLTableValidate1.sql and modify it to work.
    Thanks in advance,
    Scott Chang

    Hi Scott,
    2) Yes, FOR XML PATH clause converts relational data to XML format with a specific structure for the "marvel" Table. Regarding validate all the avenger_names, please see below
    sample.
    DECLARE @x XML
    SELECT @x=(SELECT ID ,avenger_name FROM marvel FOR XML PATH('Marvel'))
    SELECT @x
    SELECT
    n.value('avenger_name[1]','VARCHAR(99)') avenger_name,
    n.value('ID[1]','INT') ID
    FROM @x.nodes('//Marvel') Tab(n)
    WHERE n.value('ID[1]','INT') = 1 -- specify the ID here
    --FOR XML PATH('Marvel')  --uncommented this line if you want the result as element type
    3)i.check the xml schema content
    --find xml schema collection
    SELECT ss.name,xsc.name collection_name FROM sys.xml_schema_collections xsc JOIN sys.schemas ss ON xsc.schema_id= ss.schema_id
    select * from sys.schemas
    --check the schema content,use the name,collection_name from the above query
    SELECT xml_schema_namespace(N'name',N'collection_name')
    3)ii. View can be viewed as virtual table. Use a view to list the XML schema content.
    CREATE VIEW XSDContentView
    AS
    SELECT ss.name,xsc.name collection_name,cat.content
    FROM sys.xml_schema_collections xsc JOIN sys.schemas ss ON xsc.schema_id= ss.schema_id
    CROSS APPLY(
    SELECT xml_schema_namespace(ss.name,xsc.name) AS content
    ) AS cat
    WHERE xsc.name<>'sys'
    GO
    SELECT * FROM XSDContentView
    By the way, it would be appreciated if you can spread your questions into posts. For any question, feel free to let me know.

  • Server 2012 R2 RDS Personal Collection -reuse VM names after a partial job failure

    I am currently testing RDS on server 2012 R2, and as part of the test I have built and rebuilt multiple collections of VMs. I have noticed that when creating a new JOB to build a personal collection, sometimes I get VM build failures on one host. The build
    failures are usually due to a networking issue, which I then resolve, but when I go to add/create the VMs that failed, the name of the VMs increment from the last VM, and they don't re-use the failed names. I want to be able to reuse/build the VMs that
    failed.
    eg.
    VM-01, VM-02, VM-03 - On HOST-01 all work
    VM-04, VM-05, VM-06 - On HOST-02 fail
    VM-07, VM-08, VM-09 - On HOST-03 all work
    So on this example, when I re-run the job to build the missing/failed VMs, it would build  VM-10, VM-11, VM-12 on HOST-02.
    Is there a way to reset, or reuse the failed VM names, in the example above that would be VM-04, VM-05, and VM-06?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
    For a try you can use powershell command for RD VDI infrastructure.
    New-RDVirtualDesktopCollection -CollectionName "ITCamp" -PooledManaged -StorageType CentralSmbShareStorage -VirtualDesktopAllocation 5 -VirtualDesktopTemplateHostServer $VHost -VirtualDesktopTemplateName $VDITemplateVM -ConnectionBroker $RDBroker -Domain “contoso.com”
    -Force -MaxUserProfileDiskSizeGB 40 -CentralStoragePath”\\fileserver1\NormalVMs” -VirtualDesktopNamePrefix "ITC" -OU “VDICampUsers” -UserProfileDiskPath \\fileserver1\NormalProfiles
    More information.

    http://blogs.technet.com/b/andrew/archive/2013/10/28/lab-ops-4-windows-8-1-windows-2012r2-vdi.aspx
    Also check that when setting up RDS, there needs to be a Physical NIC with IP for the creation of a RDS vSwitch. If this vswitch does not exist, the creation of the MV's will fail.
    Hope it helps!
    Thanks.

  • Network Location not showing domain name in Server 2012 R2 after demoting 2003 PDC

    The single active NIC in my new Server 2012 R2 no longer shows the Network Location of "DOMAIN.LOCAL" like it did before I demoted the only Server 2003 domain controller. The NIC now shows "NETWORK" as the Network Location.
    The registry still shows a Profile with the correct PROFILENAME in
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkList\Profiles
    but that name does not show up in the Network List Manager Policies inside Local Security Policy.
    The 2012 R2 Srv has all of the FSMO roles, Client PC's can connect to the domain but will not get new map drives from a script, they must be created manually. My Quickbooks Enterprise clients cannot see the QB Server Manager on this server and I think it
    is related to this issue because of firewall restrictions.
    The Windows Firewall pointed me in this direction because the "Private Networks" is connected to my NIC named "Network" but the Firewall "Domain Networks" is reported as "Not connected."
    Any Help is appreciated,

    Hi,
    Based on my research,
    Network Location Awareness (NLA) service expects to be able to enumerate the
    domain’s forest name to choose the right network profile for the connection. The service does this by calling
    DsGetDcName on the forest root name and issuing an LDAP query on UDP port 389 to a root Domain Controller.
    If something hinders the DNS name resolution or the connection attempt to the DC, NLA is not able to set the appropriate network profile on the connection.
    Therefore, I suggest you check the DNS settings on DCs and other domain-joined machines, which should point to the existing DC as preferred DNS server, and secondary DC as alternate DNS server, IP address of demoted DC should be
    removed. In addition, please do not use loopback IP address.
    Here are some articles below I suggest you refer to:
    Network Location Awareness (NLA) and how it relates to Windows Firewall Profiles

  • Print document's name in Event Log ID #307 on Server 2012

    Creating a new printer server using Windows Server 2012.  Everything is working out fine so far, however I just ran into one problem that didn't happen in our Server 2008R2 print server.
    When looking at print jobs that have completed under:  event logs --> Microsoft --> Windows --> PrintService --Operational, I have noticed that Event ID 307 is not displaying the printed document's name in Server 2012 (it did for Server 2008R2). 
    In Server 2012, the document name simply displays as "Print Document" instead of displaying the document's name.
    Anyone have any ideas on how to get the document's name to properly display in the event logs?
    Thanks for any help.

    Hi Alan,
    I have configured a Server 2012 R2 standard as print server to manage printers and Monitor the print usage of users, however I am not getting the Print logs (Event Log ID 307) in the default event logs directory on the print Server.
    I perform some search and come to know that it’s a known problem in Server 2012 and there is Hotfix available. I installed the Hotfix mentioned here
    http://support2.microsoft.com/kb/2938013/en-us , but still logs are not getting generated.
    I also made the below setting for the logs.

  • Is it possible to set up parental control in MultiPoint Server 2012?

    Hello everyone!
    Is it possible to set up parental control in MultiPoint Server 2012. I'd like to filter adult web sites.
    Kind regards,
    Pavel

    I found an issue with Multipoint Dashboard that when student select to signout and then select "Cancel" to signout to go back to the session, the Multipoint Dashboard filtering is no longer applied to the session.
    here is the scenario -
     - Student login to the Multipoint server using the end point device as an standard user.
     - The Multipoint Dashboard has the configuration to "limit the website to all desktop". "cnn.com" only
     - The student session, limits the use of the web browser to only to cnn.com - this is working.
     - Studen open an app like notepad - click save --> prompted him to where to save the file.
    do not save the file. leave the "Save as" windows open.
     - Click Start (left bottom corner)
     - Click the account’s name on the top right corner, Click Sign Out
     - It will prompt you with a warning that there is a file open and needs to be saved
     - "Signout anyway" or "Cancel"
     - student select to "Cancel"
     - He is now back to the session
    This will allow the student/account logged in to bypass the web filtering

  • Unable to set (ssl) certificate on a SQL Server 2012 clustered instance

    Hello everyone!
    I'm trying to encrypt the SQL Server communication with SSL but I can't add the certificate in the configuration manager. I've found and tried a lot of different explaination but none of them worked. I'll described what I've done and hope someone will point
    out what I'm missing.
    Here is my situation:
    - SQL Server 2012 Enterprise Edition. Instance name = INSTANCE, FQDN =  SQINSTANCE.mydomain.com. The instance is running under a customized service account: mydomain\sql_sa
    - Two cluster nodes running Win Server 2008R2: NODE1.mydomain.com and NODE2.mydomain.com. Cluster itself is CLUSTER.mydomain.com
    What I've done:
    1) Asked the team in charge to generate a certificate issued to "SQINSTANCE.mydomain.com" with aliases to "NODE1.mydomain.com", "NODE2.mydomain.com" and "CLUSTER.mydomain.com". I get a certificate with "p7b"
    as extension
    2) Connect on "NODE2.mydomain.com" with account "mydomain\sql_sa". Opened MMC and added the certificate under "Personnal" folder. I tried to add it with "Current user" and "Local computer" settings. Saw both
    on internet since I use a specific service account
    3) Get the thumbprint of the certificate and add it under HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.INSTANCE\MSSQLServer\SuperSocketNetLib\Certificate. (I triple checked to remove blanks or special characters)
    4) Reboot the node
    5) Open the SQL Server Configuration Manager, go to the network properties. Certificate does not appear in the list
    I tried to check with certutil and saw the certificate in the output. Some guys talked about some private key but I don't see this particularity in my situation. I tried to check if the certificate is valid and, according to the criterias, it is.
    Does anyone can help me with this?

    Hi,
    Are you sure you've got the certificate correct?  http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms191192.aspx
    To use encryption with a failover cluster, you must install the server certificate with the fully qualified DNS name of the virtual server
    on all nodes in the failover cluster. For example, if you have a two-node cluster, with nodes named test1.<your
    company>.com and test2.<your
    company>.com, and you have a virtual server named virtsql, you need to install a certificate for virtsql.<your
    company>.com on both nodes. You can set the value of the ForceEncryptionoption
    toYes
    In your case, shouldn't it be created for CLUSTER.mydomain.com?
    Thanks, Andrew

  • Why, when I successfully connect to Server 2012 Essentials R2 via Anywhere Access does the Remote Desktop Connection use the self signed certificate for RDP instead of the SSL certificate I installed when I set up access anywhere?

    Scenario:
    Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials
    I purchased an SSL Cert from GoDaddy and I managed (after some challenges) to set up Anywhere access to use that new SSL Cert. I to rebooted the server and I am able to login to Anywhere Access vis https (using the SSL certificate) from PC, Mac and iOS.
    So far so good.
    The problem I am having is that when I click to launch a remote desktop connection to the server RDP connection wants to use the self signed SSL certificate of the server rather than the SSL Certificate I installed into Anywhere Access. As a result, I get
    a security warning like this: "The identity of the remote computer cannot be verified. Do you want to connect anyway?"
    The name in the certificate appears as ACME-SERVER.ACMEDOMAIN.local  instead of the SSL Certificate I installed, which is
    remote.acmedomain.com
    If I lick to accept, RDP does work fine, it;s just using a self signed certificate. I want it to use the trusted certificate that I purchased and installed.
    My guess is that there must be an additional step to tell Anywhere Access that when it generates the RDP session that it should use the cert? OR, is this just how it works?

    Because....
    the server does not have a 'trusted' certificate assigned to it.
    Only the RDP Gateway has the trusted certificate for the external name.
    If you want to remove that error, you have to do one of the following:
    Make sure your domain uses a public top level domaim, and get a public trusted certificate for your server.
    So, something like,
    server.domain.publicdomain.com
    Or,
    Install that certificate on your remote computer so it is trusted.

  • 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...

    Hi,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
    As per my research, sorry to inform that there is no such ways to let the folders always on top. 
    Hope it helps!

  • 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?

    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

  • Difference between database features - SQL Server 2008 R2 navtive vs SQL Server 2012 with SQL Server 2008 compatibility set?

    I am investigating the impact of upgrading from SQL Server 2008 R2 to SQL Server 2012. To reduce the impact of the upgrade, I am planning to restore / create our application database onto SQL Server 2012 with compatibility level 100 (SQL Server 2008 and
    SQL Server 2008 R2).
    Are there any differences in feature support for database running in native mode on SQL Server 2008 R2 vs a database installed on SQL Server 2012 with compatibility level 100 set?

    Are there any differences in feature support for database running in native mode on SQL Server 2008 R2 vs a database installed on SQL Server 2012 with compatibility level 100 set?
    Yes there can be difference and impact there are few features deprecated in SQL Server 2012 you must be aware about that. Please see
    Deprecated Database Features in SQL Server 2012
    Deprecated SQL Server features in SQL Server 2012
    After you migrate database to 2012 please don't move ahead with production unless you have tested your application to new created database
