Server 2012 RDS (Terminal Clients)

Hi,
I need help & guide on terminal clients internet access.
Q1: How do i enable only 1 terminal client out of 20 current running windows RDP to have access internet?
Q2: When I need to enable internet access for the terminal client, do i need to enable internet access for the current server or host. (I wish for the server to not have internet access due to it is used in local environment only).
I was thinking of GPO and web proxy application but im not sure which is the right tool and whether is it workable.
Thank You.

Hi,
thank you for replying.
Actually i haven't given the exact scenario that I'm facing.
Ok here goes, I have a windows server 2012 Terminal Server which run RDS. I also have a another server 2012 which is AD server.
The Terminal Server is join domain to the AD server.
Then I have few terminal client that is running dell DETOS OS which use RDP to connect to the 2012 server Terminal Server.
The users will login and use the accounts that was created on the Server AD so the user profile is in the Terminal Server.
- I didn't put the gateway on the Terminal Server so the server don't have internet access so all the login account also don't have internet access because it follow the server setting.
- Now i just need to enable 1 user account to have internet access.
Q1: Should i enforce on the AD or I can just configure it from the Terminal Server itself since the profile is on the server itself?
Q2: How should I deal with kind of scenario? Any sudgestion?
Thank You,

Windows Server 2012 RDS CALS on Windows Server 2008 R2 Licensing Server

Hi,
at the moment we are installing the first couple of Windows Server 2012 in our infrastructure.
Some of them have installed RDS.
Now we are wondering whether it is possible to use our existing Windows Server 2008 R2 licensing server for serving the licenses we have (yes we to have new Windows Server 2012 RDS CALS) or whether we have to install a new host based on Windows Server 2012.
We tried to add the new license to the 2008 R2 licensing server, but it is not possible. The licensing manager's error message: "The license code contains invalid characters or not enough characters."
Is there any other way?
Thanks and regards
Matthias

Hi matt_will_fix_it,
How about Windows 2012 R2 ?
Will a Windows 2012 RD Licensing server provide licences to a Windows 2012 R2 server?
I have not tested it, but it should work. Server 2012 R2 requires the same RDS CAL version as Server 2012. If you try it and have an issue please reply back.

Server 2012 RDS - User Profile Disks

Hello,
I'm implementing Server 2012 RDS session-based.
Can I increase the limit of User Profile Disk after it is initially set?
Is it ok that my Admin user has a User Profile Disk i.e. no local profile on the server as they did previously.
Are PSTs supported on User Profile Disks - previously PSTs were unsupported on network share - User Profile Disks are on network share.
I had an issue where a UPD was created for a user - I then delete the UPD. I then logged in as the user (a domain admin) and expected a local profile to be created - this didn't happen. A temporary profile was created instead. This was unexpected.

Hi Gary,
You can try to change the size of User Profile Disk by mounting .Vhdx file. Please refer below thread for information.
Resize User Profile Disks
As per my research, i can suggest you to use admin local user profile on server.You can get more information for UPD on below listed article.
1. Easier User Data Management with User Profile Disks in Windows Server 2012
2. Using User Profile Disks (UPD) in combination with predefining the Modern UI Start Screen on RDS 2012 (appsfolder.itemdata-ms)
Hope it helps!
Thanks,

Server 2012 RDS - User Profile Disks - Errors during Logoff

I have set up a test Server 2012 RDS collection (Single Server for now) and implemented User Profile disks.
I have two problems.
First: My generic test user can connect and does successfully use the user profile disk as expected. However, at
logoff, the system event log contains these errors:
The error (NTFS 137) is: The default transaction resource manager on volume C:\Users\ts3.test encountered a non-retryable error and could not start. The data contains the error code.
The warning (NTFS 50) that concerns me is:
It appears that the user profile disk is being "disabled" or "disconnected"
before the profile data is completely written at logoff. What can I do to troubleshoot this?
Second:
Update: A post from Mike Connor on the following page: -LINK- solved
the problem described below.
My administrative user always logs on now with a temporary profile. At the beginning, the UPD was working and mounting. That stopped working. In attempting to troubleshoot, I logged the admin user off and deleted the UPD disk
file from the share. I remember it working again after generating a new UPD disk file in the share. Soon, it quit working again. I deleted the UPD disk file again from the share and ever since, it has never regenerated a new UPD and
always logs on with a temporary profile.

We experience less to zero problems after an outage with our User Profile Disks when we use the option: "Store all user settings and data on the user profile disk". Other then when we use the other checkbox (even though all checkboxes
underneath are checked).
Our test setup was, an RDSH 2012 r2 server(s), with an 2012r2 server holding the share.
We first tried the "store all user settings" for the User Profile Disk, we logged several accounts onto our RDSH Server we then disconnected our server which holds the share to simulate an outage. After about 5 minutes we connected the
server again holding the share. When the share comes back online, we logged off the users and logged them back in. The result was a valid profile for all the accounts including their last changes from before the share got disconnected.
The exact same test was done with the option: "Store only the following folders on the user profile disk" with all checkboxes underneath checked, which gave us corrupt profiles.. We also did these tests by giving the server holding the share a reboot instead
of an disconnect from network. This gave us the same result. Each test was done at least 2 to 3 times..
I hope others can confirm this as well in their situation, as it seems to be a bug within that specific checkbox.
Looking at the above tests, the best way in my test cases were to exclude the default folders (f.e.: \Documents) if you would like to redirect them instead of using them inside your User Profile Disk. Redirects can be done through GPO Folder redirection
options or GPO registry combined with Environment Variables.
Even after several attemps to simulate an outage, i get left with consistent profiles. I've now also included an hard reset of my virtual machine (that gave the same results as a disconnect of the network card). This was all done through using the: "Store
all user settings in the user profile disk". The other option left us with inconsistent profiles. I hope others can confirm this as well..
Looks to me that the type of connection towards the User profile happens different. You can see this when looking at the C:\users\<username> and subfolders if you use user profile disks. The 2 options show different symbols as well.

Remote Desktop Connection Client 9.3.9600 unable to connect to Server 2012 RDS via Gateway

Hi,
I have a Windows Sever 2012 R2 RDS environment with two Gateways servers configured in high availability mode (RD Web Access, RD Gateway, RD Connection Broker roles installed) and four Windows Server 2012 R2 RDS Session Hosts. The servers are all running
the most recent public server updates. With this configuration I when connecting externally using a Windows 7 computer with the older Remote Desktop Connection client (6.1.7601) I am able to connect without any problems however when I try connecting with a
newer client from a computer running Windows 8.1 and the 9.3.9600 client I am unable to connect.
At the moment a NAT rule is configured to pass 80/443 traffic to only one of the RDS gateway servers, I've removed our load balancer from the configuration for the moment to reduce the complexity.
No error is generated by the client when it tries to connect it just stops trying to connect after a while.
On the Gateways servers event logs for
Things I have looked into so far.
- I've double and triple checked the RDS configuration and checked it against one of my other clients configurations that is working and they are identical.
- Connecting from an older client version works fine.
I'm not sure what else can be checked does anyone have any ideas?

Hi,
1. What entries are you seeing in the RD Gateway's log? Event Viewer\ Applications and Services Logs\ Microsoft\ Windows\ TerminalServices-Gateway
2. How come you are not forwarding UDP port 3391 in addition to TCP port 443? It should work without UDP, but you will not have UDP support which is one of the benefits of RDP 8.0/8.1.
3. Are there any non-default group policy settings being applied to the servers and/or client PCs? To be clear, I'm asking if any changes have been made to the default local and domain security policies, group policy objects, new GPOs that may have
been added, etc., that are applicable to the servers and or client PCs.

Server 2012 RDS - newly opened applications don't receive focus

Hi,
We're having an issue that occurs when you're already working in an RDP session to a 2012 RDS/TS, you open up a new application and it doesn't receive focus. It's getting compounded by users thinking there is a problem with the server/application and logging
off and back on again to resolve it.
I'm wondering if anyone has had this problem before and knows of a fix for it? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Luke

Hi Luke,
Thank you for your posting in Windows Server Forum.
Are you using RemoteApp or accessing application through RDP?
Here in your case suggest you to update your RDP client version to RDP 8.1 and check the result.

Unable to add network printers from Windows Server 2012 R2 to client running Windows 7 Pro x64

New Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard in the environment. Added print services to it and added five HP printers to it and shared them. Also deployed the printers via group policy.
Clients are running Windows 7 Pro x64. The group policy fails to install the printers (error 0x00000002). We get the same error when trying to manually add the printer from the client side.
From Event Viewer: Group Policy was unable to add per computer connection <<printer share>>. Error code 0x2. This can occur if the name of the printer connection is incorrect, or if the print spooler cannot contact the print server.
Any ideas on troubleshooting this?
Thanks.
-John

John,
You might try playing with the HP universal driver, that might help you. Try installing a new shared printer on the server using the universal print driver, then try and connect to it to see if it is any better.
Check these GPO settings to ensure local machines can install the drivers.
1. Configure the following two Group Policy settings:
Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\System\Driver Installation\Allow non-administrators to install drivers for these devices setup classesEnabled
2. Device class GUID of printers: {4d36e979-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}

Error During install Exchange 2013 through Powershell on Server 2012 "Mailbox role: Client Access service"

" was run: "The operation couldn't be performed because object 'MONAMBX2\OWA (Exchange Back End)' couldn't be fo
und on 'MonaDc1.mona.local'.".
Any advice please !!

I can't answer your question but I had a similar issue when I was trying to move our mailbox database off the C: drive. Our environment still has an Exchange 2007 server in it and when I was trying to move the database on the 2013 server, I would get
error messages saying the database does not exist. It seemed like it was trying to move the database on the 2007 server from the similar error messages that I was getting. To get around it, I deleted the database and created a new one on the drive
where we wanted it.
I discovered this when I was configuring the Antispam settings. I deleted our 2007 settings, added them to the 2013 shell, the settings appeared on our 2007 server. The shell on 2013 was making changes to 2007.
I'm not sure if there is a "Get|Set or New" command that I/we should be using when this happens. Or maybe my issues will be fixed if I just remove the Exchange 2007 server? I'm not ready to do that yet because I can't configure the spam filtering
on 2013 yet with its shell not being able to make the changes that we need.
I don't know if your environment is in coexistence mode like mine.
Hopefully someone else out there has an answer or can tell us when/how the shell can make the appropriate changes to the 2013 server. Does this happen after the 2007 server is removed?

In-place upgrade of Windows Server 2012 RDS to R2 fails

Hi All
I have a Server 2012 Standard RDS virtual machine (vmware) on which I have tried doing an in-place upgrade to 2012 R2 but it constantly fails.
It sits at the "Collecting files, settings and applications" process for quite a while - always on 0% and then says: Installing Windows was Canceled "Setup can't continue. Restart the computer and restart Setup. When prompted, try getting
the latest updates."
I have tried combinations of all the settings during setup to look for updates, not look for updates, etc., rebooted several times, even disabled the RDS services and still the same result.
As a test, I tried doing an in-place upgrade on the base OS installation that was used to create this VM and it works perfectly. The only difference between the servers is that the live has RDS role installed.
Is there any Microsoft documentation on the 2012 RDS in-place upgrade process to R2?
Can anyone offer any suggestion as to why the in-place upgrade might be failing with the RDS role installed?
Thanks heaps

As I stated I have already tried an in-place upgrade on the base 2012 vm that I used to create the production RDP server and it worked.
It seems that the RDS role may be preventing the upgrade?
Ideally I want to go down the in-place upgrade on the production server as we have alot of users using this machine. I would rather not have to build an R2 RDS server from scratch.
if you really think the RDS is preventing the upgrade, how about stopping the RDS service then do an in place upgrade.
check how it goes.. :)
Every second counts..make use of it. Disclaimer: This posting is provided AS IS with no warranties or guarantees and confers no rights.

Restrictions on Installing SSMS and SSDT (SQL Server 2012) on multiple clients

Our company has a license for SQL Server 2012 (either Standard or Enterprise, I'm not sure which). We need to set up several client machines to manage the server and want to install SSMS on those machines. In addition, a couple users need
to be able to edit SSIS packages using SSDT.
My question. Using the SQL Server 2012 license we own, are we free to install SSMS, Books Online, and SSDT on any computer in our company, without any additional cost? We won't be installing any other SQL Server component on those machines.
If someone can post a link to the Microsoft web site that verifies that, I would appreciate it.

Hi,
According ‘Licensing SQL Server 2012 Components’ section in Microsoft
SQL
Server 2012 Licensing Guide:
Management tools and other software identified as additional or supplemental software—such as product documentation, client connectivity tools, software add-ins, and SDKs—can generally be distributed and run on any number of devices for use with a licensed
instance of SQL Server software. Refer to the Volume Licensing PUR for a list of additional software components provided with SQL Server 2012.

Windows Server 2012 - Direct Access clients and the Windows 8 firewall

Hi,
We're running a simple proof-of-concept for Server 2012 Direct Access, we have a single DA server behind a firewall using NAT. We have a number of client devices setup for DA and running Windows 8.
Our issue is that we can only get the Windows 8 direct access clients to connect (when outside the corporate network) and work with the windows firewall disabled (public network profile).
With the windows firewall disabled everything works exactly as expected. When outside the corporate network the client detects the network state (public network profile), connects via DA and all internal resources can be accessed successfully...fantastic.
Is there some specific guidance on manually configuring the windows 8 firewall for Direct Access ? We've tried the obvious TCP:443 with edge traversal enabled but without success.
Much of the information we have found relates to UAG rather than Windows 2012 DA.
Any assistance is appreciated.

Hi,
There isn’t any specific configuration on the firewall.
Just confirm that port 443 can be forwarded to DirectAccess server.
Of course, make sure you are using IPsec first.
