Setting Up Remote Desktop Services Windows 2012 DMZ

Hi
I'm new to the Windows 2012 RDS. I am trying to figure out some things.
I have an application that I would like to publish to the outside world to our customers.
Im thinking of using Windows 2012 remote desktop services and publish the app via web browser. So users go to the URL and see the application.
Do I need a client brooker and gateway server for this setup? or can i simply deploy a web access server on the dmz which then connects to my remote session host server inside?

Hi,
To allow outside access into your RDS environment you would need to use the RD Gateway role. This can be configured on the same box as your RD Web Access role if resources are limited.
The RD Gateway role uses ether TCP 443 or UDP 3391 depending on what you have chosen to configure. You need to create a port forwarding rule from and to the gateway box using 443.
Have a look at the following articles:
http://ryanmangansitblog.com/2013/03/27/deploying-remote-desktop-gateway-rds-2012/
http://ryanmangansitblog.com/2013/03/10/configuring-rds-2012-certificates-and-sso/
This should assit with the configuration.

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.

Need help setting up Remote Desktop Services

This is my first server and I can't get Remote Desktop Services to work. I need to access my Server 2012 machine from my Windows 7 computer. I realize this is probably a trivial task for a server admin of any experience level, but I am utterly confused.
When I try to access https://servername.domainname.local/RdWeb, the webpage is unavailable. When I replace .local with .com, same result. Only when I use https:192.168.1.***/RdWeb it connects.
I log in and click an application. An rdp file is downloaded. I double-click the file. A warning message appears listing the URL of the remote computer (servername.domainname.local) and the gateway server (servername.domainname.com). When I log in from there,
I get the following message:
"Your computer can't connect to the remote computer because the Remote Desktop Gateway server address in unreachable or incorrect. Type a valid Remote Desktop Gateway server address."
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi,
The ideal method for managing a server from a client computer is achieved by installing the RSAT tools (remote server administration tools).
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=39296
What these tools do is to actually install Server Manager on your client computer. However, you will need a Windows 8.1 computer to install the tools in the link above. They won't install on Windows 7. Note: The RSAT tools are available for Windows 7 but
you can only manage 2008 R2 and earlier with that version of RSAT. The RSAT tools are sync'd with the release of client and server versions.
RSAT does need a direct connection between the client and the server (as far as I know), so you can't manage your intranet server from the public Internet this way unless the server has a public IP address or - more ideally you have a VPN server set up to
access your internal network.
As Tim mentions, you can configure routers with 'port forwarding' to connect via RDP from outside your private network to the inside. If you log into the router you should see this option but it does require some understanding of what you are doing.
In this case, you would need to connect to the router's external (public) IP address. You should be careful however enabling access into your private LAN from the outside as this does open you up to some security risks.
Another option for you is to use a 3rd party solution such as logmein or teamviewer although in my opinion these are less than ideal methods.

How to license remote desktop services in 2012 without a deployment?!?!

Am I crazy or is there no way to license a 2012 RDS server? I don't want to deploy a gateway or a connection broker. My servers are on a domain and I just want to point it to a license server for the CALs (per user).
Why can't I seem to do this and 2012 REQUIRES the use of some scaled out deployment?
what am I missing?

Hi,
You can Specify the name of the RD Licensing server and set the licensing mode using group policy. For example, you could use gpedit.msc on the server and modify the setting under the following path:
Computer Configuration\ Administrative Templates\ Windows Components\ Remote Desktop Services\ Remote Desktop Session Host\ Licensing

Windows 2012r2 Remote desktop services: session based: Locked down

I am trying to lock down the remote desktop services sessions , just like I did with windows 2003 TS.
I am following this article :
http://www.it.ltsoy.com/windows/lock-down-remote-desktop-services-server-2012/
I have done till disable registry modifications.
I stopped to check if the changes made were in effect before continuing.
What did work is the disable server manager popup at user logon.
Nothing else seems to have taken effect: just to mention a few
Microsoft administrative tools,
network and sharing center.
ABCD drives are still being seen.
What did I miss ?

Terminal Services (TS) or Remote Desktop Services (RDS) scenario clarifications

Dear Support,
Question:
Do I still need to purchase RDS CALS license? or can use MSDN CALs in the Terminal Server?
Due to MSDN subscribers are End users, do not use Production Data and have to demo their developed applications to other End users group.
Scenario:
1. Use only Remote Desktop Session.
2. End users are MSDN Subscribers. (Although stated by Microsoft End users are non MSDN subscribers)
3. End users demo applications to End users.
4. End users develop their applications and have to demo to other End users group.
From MSDN link:
Client Access Licenses for Terminal Services
With an MSDN subscription, you are allowed to provide end users access to Internet demonstrations of your programs via Terminal Services (Windows Server 2003 or Windows Server 2008) or Remote Desktop Services (Windows Server 2008 R2). Up to 200 anonymous
users can simultaneously access your demonstration this way. Your demonstration must not use production data. MSDN subscribers are licensed to demonstrate their applications to end users,
but Terminal Services (TS) or Remote Desktop Services (RDS) is the only scenario where end users without an MSDN subscription can interact with the demonstration application while the software is licensed through MSDN subscriptions.
Accessing CALs
MSDN subscribers can access CALs for demonstration purposes through the
Product keys page of MSDN Subscriber Downloads. Please access the documentation resources online for assistance with the
Terminal Server activation process. If you have any questions, please visit the Microsoft
Terminal Services forum.

How to install the Remote Desktop Services role on a Windows 2012 R2 Server

Hello,
I am a bit confused on how to install the RDP role on a 2012 R2 server. I have a two server domain and would like to make the second member server an RDP server to host applications (Word, Excel, a medical software, etc.) where users from their windows
7 desktop will use the Remote Desktop Connection to connect to the server, create a session and do their work. When installing the role, I am prompted with two options:
1- Role-based or feature based installation
2- Remote Desktop services installation
I see the RDP install option in both cases.
1- Which one do I use?
2- What role services do I install? (Connection broker, Gateway, Licensing, Session Host, Virtualization host and Web access). I think I need the first four only.
3- When installing software after RDP, I use the Change user /install and Change user /execute commands. What happens to the software that is already installed? Can remote
users use those?
Any help will be very much appreciated.
Thank You,
Victor.

TP,
Thank you for your response. I added the RD Licensing thru the Role-based option.
Also opened the local group policy thru gpedit.msc and added the server name and the licensing mode type to Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Remote Desktop Services -> Remote Desktop Session
Host -> Licensing
Use the specified RD license servers = NameOfMyServer
Set the Remote Desktop licensing mode = TypeOfMyLicense (Per User in my case)
Thank you again,
Victor

Install Remote Desktop Services Failed on Windows 2012 Server

I understand RDS is not recommended on DC due to security consideration. However since I want to play it at home, it is not much a concern. Such scenario works fine on Windows 2008 R2. But on Windows 2012, the RDS (session-based, have not
tried VDI, but expect same result) installation always fails and is incomplete on DC.
In \Administrative Tools\Terminal Services, I only have RD Licensing Diagnoser and RD licensing manager. The remote desktop service management service cannot be started (Error code: 0x88250001). Is there any extra configuration needed for RDS
working on Server 2012 DC or before the installation? Thanks.
Update: this issue has been solved in Windows 2012 R2 Server. According to
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/rds/archive/2013/07/09/what-s-new-in-remote-desktop-services-for-windows-server-2012-r2.aspx
"Single server RDS deployment including Active Directory. We now support running our RD Connection Broker role service on the same physical instance as an Active Directory Domain Controller. In addition, we published
guidelines for how RD Session Host could be used without the RD Connection Broker."
The guidelines (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2833839/en-us) primarily apply to Windows 2012 Server.

Asinine. Simply Asinine. Microsoft took it out because of $GREED$.
RemoteDesktop has become so popular, they had to break it to make more money. Thats why they discontinued SmallBusinessServer.   If this practice is so tabooo... Why did MS go the opposite direction with SBS 2011 Premium Cal's? SBS2011
had DC, Exchange, RDS and Sharepoint,SQL, RemoteWebWorkplace, OWA all working in perfect harmony. It is an untrue statement then, that it was "allowed but not recommended"
Now you by Server2012 (core + two virtual) and its not enough for all this.
You need at least another $700 for another sever licence to have it all
and who knows if SQL will run on a DC, or Exchange, or R-DERP server. Another reacherous bridge to cross.
By far, the absloute worse release since Millennium. The product is not ready for production, we broke our rule of waiting until the first SP1 upgrade for this and Exchange 2013. Problems with USB drivers and networking running extreamly slow.
Our 2003 SBS server was at least three times as fast, and this server has SAS and SSD drives running. It can't get out of its own way, and IE10 is the most unstable piece of crap to come out of Redmond. Open wide and swallow - Mother Microsoft
knows whats best for you. YOU WILL EAT OUR SLOP AND LEARN TO LIKE IT.   Server2012 AKA "METRO-SERVER"
Now here I sit after 50 Hours back to back setting up a new R-DERP server 2012, AD, Have my RDP licences in my hand at $100 each, and WTH does Microsoft care if I install it on my DC. ITS MY DC. And the cost savings versus the "risk" was
previously MY decision.
Sure, I can install a couple of Virtual HyperV sessions but they are so tempremental to a power-outage in a small business its not worth it. I have to double up my server hard drive resources, buy a $800 battery backup unit and make sure to attach
the cable, and even then, if that Bi**H does not shut down properly, one bit goes awry in a VHD or VHDX file and you are screwed. Restore from lastnights backup and forget about todays work. Not to mention it will probably take a half day to try
to fix it, then recover it then tell the 30 users they lost a days worth of work.
HYPER-V is for test servers and has no place in a small (micro) business environment. 5-30 users.
Microsoft's solution, buy another server. Need Exchange? Buy another server or take the risky cheapskate route and spin up some VHD's. Might as well put a gun to your head and play russian roulette, at least you know you have a one in six
chance of failure. With MS, its a 100% failure for a dirty shutdown power loss, motherboard blows, memory goes corrupt in a few years, your conventional method of recovery is gone, and you have some upchucked VHD file to try to recover some of TODAYS
data from.
Screw server 2012 forever.
I will sell 2008 and SBS2011 Premium unitl it rots in hell like XP (of which there is NOTHING wrong with for the average, WORD, EXCEL, OUTLOOK and QUICKBOOKS that all SMB's use. Its MS $GREED$ Grab the world by the B**ls and squeeze with all
your might to squeeze every dime you can out of *SMB* because big business is going to run thier 2003 Exchange and 2008 servers into ground before they switch to this garbage.
YOU CANNOT INSTALL EXCHANGE 2013 on DC , OR on R-DERP server.
Go buy another server license and server or MOVE TO THE CLOUD and get fleeced every month.
I have 30 DC/R-DERP/Exchange and SBS2011 Premium servers all running for years in perfect harmony, locked down with security so the users can't even WIGGLE with something they are not supposed to work with. They get their apps, cannot install anything
and all these servers are running just fine behind the firewall and perfectly save. The track record of this combination is 100% stable and is up 24/7/365 with no problems. Do yourself a favor and throw this 2012 into the river, you don't need
any weights because it is LEAD and will sink to the bottom by itself.
Why, you ask? Official is "Its for your protection" The real reason? To sell you more $700 server licences.
Maybe for SMB, we start selling Linux NAS Servers, host the Exchange in the cloud and be hearded like cattle to the Microsoft slaughterhouse. One way or another, you are going to bleed.    A little each month to move to the cloud, or
a small fortune if you want to have it in house. Microsoft wants it to be more expensive to have in house. No more buying a server and running it for six years before you upgrade. They can't have in house servers competing with their cloud,
and small businesses are the low hanging fruit ripe for the pickin'.

How do I remote control a user in remote desktop services in Windows Server 2012?

Hello,
we currently operate in a 2008 R2 environment with the majority of clients connecting to our terminal servers. We use the remote control feature in terminal services manager to connect to a users session when a user phones our helpdesk with
a question / issue.
Just today I've installed 2012 server on a hyper-v virtual machine to have a play with it. I've installed the Remote Desktop Services and noticed this remote control feature is gone. I can still log off or send a message to a user, but I can
no longer remote control their session.
I've seen one or two other posts stating this feature has been removed completely.
So, a couple of questions:
1. How on earth do I "shadow" or connect to a users session now?
2. If I have to go third party to get this functionality back, what's the best software on the market for this and does it support remote connecting of users who have their RDP session span multiple monitors? (2008 R2 doesn't)
3. Will Microsoft ever bring this feature back? as at this stage I doubt we would move to 2012. This is the one feature that is crucial to the day-to-day running of our helpdesk.
Cheers.

A large percentage of our IT support business is through remote management. Most of our large enterprise customers are Terminal Server environment (now called Remote Desktop - why does Microsoft have to change EVERYTHING - how would they feel if I changed
the colour of the sky from blue to red just because I could?).
Last week, after much expense to the customer (and realising that there WOULD be some cosmetic headaches to contend with Server Management) we installed a new "Remote Desktop Server" for them and shifting them from 2003 - a big leap so we discovered.
During deployment it came as a HORRIFIC surprise that we could not remote control user's sessions!
Yes, we ARE to blame for not fully realising the cock-up Microsoft has made for us. We should have fully researched every detail of what changes they made and what they have robbed us of.
Firstly, the removal of the ability to fully manage user's sessions came as a HUGE blow!
The remaining multiple issues that followed (including the hugely cumbersome and SLOW way of accessing user's sessions and the false information that the console was reporting users logged in when they had already logged out) suddenly resulted in us decommissioning
the new 2012 installation in favour of a 2008 R2 installation.
Some may ask; Why not use "Third Party" apps to counteract the issue? Firstly; why spend MORE and why use a third party app that "is as" cumbersome to use just because of a freaking feature that Microsoft deemed a "security risk" - for G.D sake!
We have now been directed by management to convince customers that a move to 2012 is NOT recommended - good choice boss, I love you!
The question is; will Microsoft re-implement this feature and fix Server Management performance/accessibility in a future release before 2008 R2 is no longer available? Probably not - it looks like their stubbornness to forge ahead with their craze mind-set
of transforming their products into something that is now annoying millions (including their bloody push towards everything-cloud which NONE of our customers want anything to do with).
Microsoft! Get us back on to your side and take a step back, take a deep breath and listen to consumers!

REMOTE DESKTOP SERVICES CLIENT ACCESS LICENSES FOR MICROSOFT WINDOWS SERVER 2012 STANDARD AND DATACENTER

Though Bill is absolutely correct for most CALs, Remote Desktop Services does have its own special licensing server. I haven't installed one on 2012, yet, but here is a step-by-step guide for 2008.

Windows 2012 R2 Active Directory Domain Services and Remote Desktop services Role on the same server.

Findings:
Currently, Windows 2012 R2 AD DS role and RDS With Broker services can only seem to coexist properly in a new domain not an existing domain. Any attempt to add to an existing domain causes internal database user access denied issues and any attempt to
adjust rights and circumvent is dubious at best.
The escalation technician said it best. Out of 50 clients that want to do this, they end up not being able to help 5 right off the bat for whatever reason. As for the other 40 they might be able to help by running reports, adjusting rights and trying to add
the roles until it works. This can end up being a 20 day process. Basically they are playing whack-a-mole with user rights and permissions until something sticks.
We tried creating an OU where any other domain policies would not be inherited to see if that was the issue, a fresh install with different sequence of adding the Roles, no effect.
Given the errors I witnessed when running procmon and then trying to add the roles, the NT System and the Windows Internal database user had access denied issues on 100+ registry keys when trying to add the roles. After that the system is not behaving normally.
The errors displayed almost mirror the errors that would occur on Windows 2012 when those two roles would be added which of course is officially NOT supported on that system.
This blog needs serious revision:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/rds/archive/2013/07/09/what-s-new-in-remote-desktop-services-for-windows-server-2012-r2.aspx
This is the excerpt from that blog: Single server RDS deployment including Active Directory. We now support running our RD Connection Broker role service on the same physical instance as an Active Directory Domain Controller. In addition, we published
guidelines for how RD Session Host could be used without the RD Connection Broker.
Microsoft Support was curteous and helpful and they were the ones who advised cutting our losses, which mirrored my hunch after seeing what was transpiring in the system. They refunded my money for the support call.
For me, it was an opportunity to find out if there was any way to configure Windows 2012 R2 in the Same manner that it was setup as Windows 2008 R2 and lay that to rest. The coexistence is poorly implemented. It is as if there was a reaction from all the deprecation
of bread and butter features such as shadowing in TS and the coexistence of AD DS and RDS to where those features were re-added haphazardly. (I have no complaints on shadowing on Windows 2012 R2 it works, just do not like having to go to server manager to
use it).
I opted for virtualizing the Domain controller to eliminate the incompatibility issues and that is what I will be doing from now on. I found free solutions for backing up and reporting for virtual machines as well as the suggested procedures for configruing
a Domain controller as a virtual machine on a Hyper-V environment and I will be sticking to those. Thus far the setup has been operational.
I am not allergic to virtualization, but for really small setups it adds additional time and considerations but if that is how it has to be done, so be it. Windows 2008 R2 days are numbered and since we can usually squeeze 5-7 years on quality server equipment,
buying a Windows 2008 R2 setup now is a borderline disservice in my opinion.
Hopefully someone finds this useful and saves some time.

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Do you need any other assistance?
Based on your description, you are describing your story of successfully implementing RDS server with AD role and more regarding all RDS related scenario. For shadowing feature, you can use with command also. Below is the syntax to shadow a session.
mstsc /v:<ServerName> /shadow:<SessionID>
Hope it helps!
Thanks.

Remote Desktop Services that require Native SQL Server Client in Windows Server 2012?

I have somehow gotten really confused on this.. Is the Remote Desktop Connection Broker the only Remote Desktop Service that requires the SQL Native Client to be installed in Windows Server 2012 (r2) ?

Hi,
If you plan on configuring RDCB in HA mode then the SQL native client is required. The other RDS role services do not require it.

Qos DSCP value 46 gone, after enabling Remote Desktop Services on Windows 2012 R2 Standard

Hi,
After installing a clean Windows Server 2012 R2 with
all Windows updates I have setup Policy-Based QoS for tagging defined traffic,
in the test case all traffic to one specific ip address. Whireshark logging
displays the correct configured (46) dscp value so the group policy is
working fine. After installing Remote Desktop Services the Policy-Based QoS is
still in place but Wireshark results that the value is 0.
Can somebody explain why this happens and how to solve
it?
Regards, Edward

Hi Edward,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Did you find any related error for your case?
By default, Windows traffic has a DSCP value of 0. Network routers use the DSCP value to classify network packets and to queue them appropriately. The number of queues and their prioritization behavior needs to be designed as part of your organization's QoS
strategy. For example, your organization may choose to have five queues: latency-sensitive traffic, control traffic, business critical traffic, best effort traffic, and bulk data transfer traffic.
More information, please see:
Policy-based Quality of Service (QoS)

Setting display language Server 2012 R2 Remote Desktop Services

I'm trying to setup local display language when user logs on to my Remote Desktop Services server.
I have configured the following GPO:
User Configuration/Policies/Administrative Templates/Control Panel/Regional

Restrict selection of Windows menus and dialogs language
Restricts the UI languages Windows should use for the selected user
When I log on the user display language is not set, but it seems that the GPO has been applied correctly (GPResult)....
What am I doing wrong ?

Hi,
Thank you for your posting in Windows Server Forum.
As you have configured GPO setting, please have a look at registry setting and check whether it is properly configured over there.
The Display Language was controlled by the REG_MULTI_SZ key PreferredUILanguages under
HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop
Create this key "PreferredUILanguages" with ja-jp when need Japanese and delete it to get back English.
You can export this Registry Key and import it instead of edit this key directly.
