Slow Login on windows 2012R2 RDS

Installed Novell client 2 sp3 ir4 on a fresh 2012R2 with Xendesktop 7.1. Changed option in novell client : logon enable= off , Login with Non-Novell Credential Provider = on. So now citrix Xendesktop user can log and have their OES Mapped drive. On the server itself(non Remote Desktop) everything is fast, but when i log from Remote desktop, it take about 1 minutes more time.

  • Windows 2012R2 RDS - Outlook 2013 preview handler not working

    Hello,
    We have an Windows 2012R2 RDS environment with Outlook 2013 installed. Currently we are experiencing some issues with the preview handler for non-administrator users. With an Administrator account it is working without issues.
    All users that open WORD, EXCEL, POWERPOINT or other office applications see the following error:
    This file cannot be previewed because of an error with the following previewer:
    Word/Excel/Powerpoint
    To open this file in its own program, double-click it.
    Other programs like Windows Media Player (voicemail messages), Image viewer, Notepad are working.
    Any idea what we can do to make this work?
    Thanks.
    Max

    Hi Max,
    Thanks for your information.
    After doing some research, this behavior might be related a DCOM permission. I suggest checking this point:
    1. Go to Component Services and Open it.
    2. Expand Component Services, click on Computers, then right click on My Computer and go to “properties".
    3. Click on Default Properties tab, and make sure the following is set:
    Default Authentication Level: Connect
    Default Impersonation Level: Identify
    If it’s a permission issue, we can use process monitor to get the logs.
    [Process Monitor Report]
    =================
    Process Monitor is an advanced monitoring tool for Windows that shows real-time file system, Registry and process/thread activity.
    To collect the process monitor, please refer to the following steps.
    a) On the machine which we will reproduce the issue, download Process Monitor from the following link:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx
    b) Extract the ZIP file, start Outlook in safe mode, stop all other applications and operation in Outlook, then run Processmon.exe
    c) While Process Monitor is running, click the microscope icon in the toolbar to stop the capture (CTRL+E) and clear the initial logs (CTRL+X).
    d) In Outlook, reproduce the issue by click the “Copy to my Calendar”, then start the capture (CTRL+E).
    e) Save (File -> Save ) the Process Monitor log and upload the log file (Logfile.PML) to me.
    You can send the log file to this email account:
    [email protected] and inform us here (the email subject should be the link of this thread).
    Please collect logs for an administer and a non-admin user.

  • Permissons Problem with Windows 2012r2 RDS Server

    Hello,
    I have an 2012R2 RDS Server with about 60 Users and abount 20 printers in different locations. Each user should only see the printer of his location. Each printer is add as a standard IP-Printer.
    As far so good, I gave permissions for each user group in each location for printing and removed "everybody". From this point on, the printjob disappeared from the spool directory and will never be printed. All other permissions are default an
    unchanged.
    It makes no difference of printing as administrator or as normal user.
    If i add "everybody" again back to the printer permissions, printing works as designed.
    Thanks in advance for any suggenstions and help,
    Regards from Austra
    Reinhold

    Hi Reinhold,
    Based on your description, I understand you encounter the printer issue after
    Everyone group removed.
    In Security tab in print Properties, please click
    Advanced button. In Advanced Security Settings panel, select Everyone group and click ”Edit…” button. Then just un-check
    Print: Allow permission. Please check if this issue still exists.
    Meanwhile, please also refer to following article and check if can help you.
    Assigning printer permissions
    By the way, for a test, when remove the
    Everyone group, please re-install a print and monitor the result.
    If anything I misunderstand or any update, please don’t hesitate to let me know.
    Hope this helps.
    Best regards,

  • This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions... - Office 2013 (Windows 2012R2 RDS)

    Hello,
    We've got an Windows Server 2012 R2 Remote Desktop Server farm for Multi tenant pursoses. therefor we've decided to use the following GPO setting: "Restrict Access to the Following Drives" in combination with the "Hide the following drives"
    for both settings we've set the C: drive to be inaccessible through regular browsing. This causes an issue when users, that open up their documents from an outlook attachement or an internet explorer webpage. Is there a way to get around the error message:
    "This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer" or perhaps change the error.
    I've already been experimenting with the outlooksecuretemp registry and setting the temp/tmp environment variable to another location which then allows users to save in an temp folder but prevents the message, this then causes documents
    to get lost since such a location gets auto cleaned after logging off. Due to multitenant purposes i dont want to change 2 GPO settings mentioned earlier.
    I did how ever found the setting: "File open/save Dialog" (+ "Approved Locations") setting which prevents the error message but therefor causes other issues. Like beeing unable to press a library or explorer.
    Anyone got any suggestions on how to prevent the error message?
    Thanks!! And when more information is required please let me know so i'll try to explain the exact situation.
    Regards,
    Dennis

    I have the same issue as Dennis described. Environment is Server 2012R2 and Office 2013.
    "Restrict Access to the Following Drives" and "Hide the following drives" are set
    After the users have opened an attachement, a pdf for example, and then hit 'save as' the error message "This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this Computer. Contact your Administrator" occurs. Finally it
    showed the save as dialag and pointed to redirected documents.
    I've also tried to set the 'OutlookSecureTempFolder' to the value U:\ in HCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook\Security. Drive U:\ is mapped correctly.
    But when I have opened the attachment, the registry value has changed to C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache\Content.Outlook\....
    BTW: In a Server 2008R2 environment with Office 2010 the modified 'OutlookSecureTempFolder' worked like charm.
    Any new ideas?
    Regards,
    Markus

    Hi Kenneth,
    Here for your case suggest you to configure RDP session time limit so that your user can disconnect\log off once the specific time limit reached.
    You can setup the session time limit in different method.
    1. Open the Server Manager, select Remote Desktop Services.
    2. In Remote desktop Services, in right side you can drop down to collections.
    3. Select the collection which you want to edit the settings.
    4. Under collections Properties, select Task and then Edit Properties.
    5. In Properties dialog box, select Session.
    6. You can find all thetimeout settings under session collection properties; edit according to your requirements and then OK. 
    And apart also by group policy setting as below.
    Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Session Time Limits 
    User Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Session Time Limits 
    -  Set time limit for disconnected sessions
    -  Set time limit for active but idle Remote Desktop Services sessions
    -  Set time limit for active Remote Desktop Services sessions
    -  End session when time limits are reached
    Please check which setting suitable for your environment and you can apply for your case.

  • Windows XP slow login when plugged into external network

    Hi,
    A about 9 months ago XP SP3 was rolled out with an image upgrade, since then there has been rumblings of slow logins when connected to an external network (eg a ADSL modem at home) but no evidence etc.
    About the environment
    Windows XP SP3
    Novell Client 4.91 SP5 IR1
    ZENworks 7
    Roaming profiles with folder redirection for Desktop, My Documents.
    We have just rolled out another upgrade to a number of base apps and this has come up again but with some evidence and some time for me to investigate.
    What I have discovered is this:
    When a laptop is plugged into an external network (I have used an ADSL network here at work to test this) the login for a user takes about 2 minutes with SP2 and about 3.5 minutes with SP3. This is done checking the workstation only box.
    This happens consistently on workstations.
    What I have done to narrow this down is as follows:
    Removed ZENworks 7 agent. Login times improved dramatically
    Installed older versions of ZENworks agent, all results the same, extra slow logins experienced with all versions tried.
    Installed ZEN agent and removed Novell Client, still the same slow login.
    Created a local user, fast logins experienced even with the ZEN agent installed.
    Disabled all ZEN services and logged in with an eDir account, slow logins all the same.
    Removed all policies from user and workstations, this made a slight difference but nothing much
    Disabled ZEN, no difference either
    Disabled NMAS, no difference either
    Removed some IDM installer we had rolled at the same time, no difference.
    Here are the timed results.
    XP with SP2 on corporate network = 30 secs
    XP with SP3 on corporate network = 35 secs
    XP with SP2 WS only ticked and ADSL modem plugged in = 2min
    XP with SP3 WS only ticked and ADSL modem plugged in = 3min 26 secs
    XP with SP3 WS only ticked and ADSL modem NOT plugged in = 45 secs
    XP with SP3 local user with ADSL modem = 45 secs
    So it's down to the ZEN agent really, but the update to SP3 hasn't helped either.
    I enabled debug logging and got the following from the log, usernames and servers have been removed:
    NWGINA log:

    OK, I'm out of Ideas.
    I was hoping for something much bigger :>
    You may want to post in the MS Forums in regards to the Timeout in that
    part.
    I would not mention ZCM or Client32 as that will just cause pushback.
    In short, there appears to be a long timeout for the redirected profile
    that extends beyond just client timeout settings.
    You may want to post the the Client32 Forum to see if they have anymore
    timeout tweaks.
    You may be able to use the "Bad Name Cache" to pre-popate that server so
    you can gain the 10 seconds w/o needing to disable the workstation service.
    Perhaps the "Give Up on Requests to SAs", but I've never messed with
    that before. Wait before giving up on DA may help too.
    Just guessing now.

  • Convert Webpage to PDF slow on 2012R2 RDS Server (Adobe XI)

    Hi There,
    We're having performance issues with the "Covert to Webpage" function add-in for Internet Explorer on our 2012R2 RDS server. It can take 30seconds+ to covert a page with just text on it, it sits at the "processing" screen. When users try the same function on their local desktops, it takes at most 5seconds for the same page.
    Are there any settings that can be tweaked to make this run faster?
    I've tried doing a repair installation but it made no difference.
    Ben

    Does anyone have any suggestions on this? I've got users complaining about the slowness daily.

    Hi,
    As the log, MSGR2CZ.DLL and wwlib.dll were both of the Microsoft libraries,not the third-party libraries. Thus, we need to analysis what happened with the dump file. But, it is beyond what we can do in the forum. I recommend you open a ticket with Microsoft
    engineer.

        I turned it on last week and it booted up to the login screen.  I typed my password in and nothing happened.  The cursor was flashing in the password field but when I typed my password, the cursor moved two spaces and remained there for a couple of hours at which time I had to turn it off by holding the power button for 5 seconds.  I repeated this process several times.  At one time it took my password and the dots started going in circles to I guess load the live tiles.  I left that go for about 4 hours at which time I turned it off again.
        Upon turning it on I did get an error message on a bably blue screen that stated 'Windows was not shutdown properly' and it restarted.  At the Toshiba splash screen the dots going in a circle showing that something was loading so I left that go for about 6 hours while it remained still at that screen. 
        At one point I had gotten the maintenance screen upon boot up so I tried a system restore.  That didn't work.  Same issues.  Unfortunatley I hadn't made a restore / recovery disk which I guess being Toshiba that should have been my first task.   As I reviewed the boards I found that the system never shuts down and at the current situation I was in not being able to login to Windows I had to resort to removing the battery for a minute and restarting the laptop to get to certain areas. 
        I attmepted to reset the PC from the maintenance screen in hopes that would fix the problem.  I had upgraded from windows 8 to 8.1, but it was working after the upgrade so I didn't worry about it.  Unfortunatley that didn't work.  When it restarted it remained on the Toshiba slpash screen for 10 hours with the dots going around in a circle.  Knowing some processes take a little time, I have been leaving the laptop on for a while to make sure certain processes have time to finish but 10 hours to me might have been too long after a recovery.   Everytime I turn on the laptop the Toshibal splash screen would come up and the dots would go around in circles.  I left it go over night  one night to see if there was some process that needs longer to run, but no. 
        Being that I purchased my laptop with windows 8, I would like to have windows 8 on it.  Unfortunately I need to laptop for a project so I decided maybe I should put windows 7 on the computer just to get t running so upon restarting the laptop and getting the BIOS screen there was screen that came up that would delete all partitions.  I guess and HDD Recovery. Now that I have run that of course I have, what I think, may be a clean hard disk to start from.
        Something I did notice when I began to install windows 7 is that my 750 gb hard drive only shows 698 gb of free space.  Being that there aren't any disk maintenance tools to let me know if there are bad sectors due to a possibly bad hard disk or is the windows 8 image still hiding on there.  Doubtful if the partitions were removed.
        Can anyone tell me what happened?  Is there anyway to get windows 8 back onto the laptop without buying it again? Any assistance would be greatfully accepted.

  • Slow SMB transfer on Windows 2012R2

    Hi,
    i have ESXi host with windows 2012R2 and Windows 2008R2 which has 1Gbit network. I am trying to copy a folder from win 2008R2 which is 57MB and has 4084 files. When this folder from win 2008r2 to win 2008r2 i am getting about 10MB/s, but when i copy that
    same folder to win2012r2 i am getting transfer speed of 3-4MB/s
    I tried following:
    Set-SmbServerConfiguration -EnableSMB2Protocol $false
    See:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2696547/en-us
    Note: This is just for testing and you can enable it after testing.
    If it is SMB related, try to disable the TCP Chimney Offload, Receive Side Scaling and Network Direct Memory Access features.
    Information about the TCP Chimney Offload, Receive Side Scaling, and Network Direct Memory Access features in Windows Server 2008
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/951037
    Here are the steps to disable RSS, TCP Chimney Offload and NetDMA:
    netsh int tcp set global rss=disabled
    netsh int tcp set global chimney=disabled
    In HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters, double-click the EnableTCPA registry entry.
    Note: If this registry entry does not exist, right-click Parameters, point to New, click DWORD Value, type EnableTCPA, and then press ENTER.
    To disable NetDMA, type 0 in the Value data box, and then click OK.
    I also tried to disable SMB signing (http://mctexpert.blogspot.com/2011/02/disable-smb-signing.html) but no help.
    VMs have same configuration (vCPU and memory) What i noticed on 2012r2 is that explorer takes about 23% of CPU while doing copy while on 2008r2 cpu usage is 11%. 
    I came to a point where i don't know where to look for a problem anyone maybe had same issues? Btw it is NOT vmware problem :).

    Hi,
    Please try to copy a large file. If the speed is normal, it means that is should not be a SMB issue.
    Also, please try to perform a network capture on the server. Check if there are a lot of TCP retransmission in the capture data.
    If there is no retransmission, the speed of transmission should be limited by performance of the disk.

  • IMac & Macbook running slower than a Windows computer

    Hello all, I need some help with my apple products.  I spend half my day messing with the internet to try and get it going instead of sitting there with a blank look on its face.  They freeze up to an extent.  I generally can always close out Safari, shut off the wifi, then turn wifi on and safari will work somewhat better sometimes.  Here is the Etre report for both the iMac and MacBook.  Also on the MacBook report, I was digging around in my system report and found something that made me think it might be bad so i have included it as well.  Please help me and keep me from wasting half my day every day.  Thanks.  There is several extra lines after the Macbook report that came from my system report.  I don't know if it is pertinent or not but I feel like it is.  I wasn't sure what to leave out so I just put it all in, sorry for the long post.
    Note----- I took out the logs that were from the previous address I lived at.  Just included from when I moved into new house.
    THIS IS FOR THE iMac
    Problem description:
    Ever since I moved into this new house my apple computers have slowed down to granny speed and sometimes they just sit there and stare at you.  I have an iMac from 2011, a mac book pro 2014, iPhone 6, iPhone 4s, and to top it off a windows computer that is used for graphic software.  I have 2 TV’s that we use as well.  My internet and cable are provided by ATT and at my old house it worked great, no problems.  I have had ATT out twice since install in January.  They have given me a new modem, and a booster to help increase the reach of the wireless internet.  My internet is supposed to be 18mbs download and for the life of me can’t think of the upload speed.  When testing I usually have a 10 to 11 download and a 1.80 upload speed.  I have ran verify disk, fix permissions so many times and that it is ridiculous.  My iMac is used in the back room which is about 30 feet from modem, that is why they gave me the booster the 2nd time out.  The macbook is used just whereever.  The speed of the Mac’s is slower then the Windows computer.  That ain’t right.  I don’t download anything, I don’t go to crazy suspect sites.  I have taken the iMac to apple store and they tested it and said it was fine.  I have re-installed the O.S. (Yosimiteme 10.10.3).  I just want my apples to work properly again.

    Ok, I don't know what those drivers are for??????  I don't have a clue   Here is what it looks like when I do the option thing.  Hopefully its ok to post that.  I went into system preference and went to network and DNS server as a ip number and search domains as attlocal.net not sure thats correct, but that is what my phone had.  Anyway it started working good for a while now it is just going slow again.  I don't have anything set up for the tab 802.1X and my proxies is blank in the protocol to configure (nothing checked( and I a have this *.local, 169.254/16 in the bypass proxy setting plus the use passive FTP box is checked. Maybe that will help some.  I will look at the extensions and get rid of them, I thought I had already done that though.  Ok, thanks for the input let me know if any of this helps or what I should do.  Thanks again.

  • Slow login time from GDM to Gnome

    Hello everyone,
    for a long time now I have been experiencing very slow login procedures. It takes about 40 to 60 seconds after I entered my password to get to Gnome shell (almost feels like Windows).
    There have been discussions about similar problems (e.g https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=98901) and I have read a lot of them, but never found a solution.
    Isn't there some kind of log file where I can see what's taking so long?
    any help would be appreciated!

    Any help?

  • Server 2012R2- RDS Farm Certificate Miss-Match on Session Hosts

    Hi Guys,
    I've another RDS2012R2 issue. Internal and external domains do not match. External: domain.com.au; Internal: domain.com.net.
    I'm getting certificate miss-match errors when connecting to the Farm/RemoteApps.
    I have performed the follow fixes:
    Change published FQDN for Server 2012 or 2012 R2 RDS Deployment (http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/Change-published-FQDN-for-2a029b80). This resolved the original issue where I was getting a certificate miss-match error externally
    for the FQDN of the server.
    Updated the RDP-Tcp certificate used on the Session Host Servers. This was to resolve an issue where using mstsc to RDP to the farm externally(via gateway) would give a Certificate is not trusted error on the RDSH side.
    Now whenever RDWeb is used to launch a RemoteApp or the farm, I get a certificate miss match error as the RDSH server is called RDS1-TCC.domain.com.net and the certificate is for remote.domain.com.au.
    I rolled back the last change so that RemoteApps and the Farm would work successfully internally without certificate issues. How do I go about resolving the certificate errors?
    For extra background details see my orignal thread, It was marked as answered when only 1 out of 2 issues was resolved. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/b664ddaf-6c11-49e2-8a69-0df3b8ef13a1/server-2012r2-rds-farm-with-xp-and-windows-vista-clients?forum=winserverTS
    Cheers,
    Ben

    Hi Ben,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
    In your case, I can suggest you to check that the certificate must match the FQDN of the server. If you are creating SSL certificate then it must be signed by trusted authority and also the certificate must be stored under “local computer/personal store“.
    Also you can buy the certificate from 3rd party which is wild card certificate and only 1 certificate can be used for your network. Please check below links for more information regarding certificate issue.
    1. Certificate Requirements for Windows 2008 R2 and Windows 2012 Remote Desktop Services
    2. Configuring RDS 2012 Certificates and SSO
    3. Windows 2012 RDS Certificate mismatch
    Hope it helps!
    Thanks,
    Dharmesh

  • Limiting Memory Usage of Exchange 2010sp1 store.exe on a Windows 2012r2 Server?

    Hello,
    I am running Windows 2012r2 Server with Exchange 2010sp1, 1 forest and 6 mailboxes. So this is not a heavy load for Exchange 2010sp1 to handle. The problem is the Windows 2012r2 server is also used as a file storage server. The problem is the Exchange 2010sp1
    is using most of the 16GB of ram available and slowing down the server. Is it possible to limit the Exchange 2010sp1 store.exe to use less memory and if so what are the steps in Windows 2012r2 to complete this task.
    I have read that it can be done through ADSI Edit. But the steps they explain are not for Windows 2012r2 and do not match.
    Thank You,
    Stan

    Hi Stan,
    Did you change msExchESEparamCacheSizeMax and msExchESEparamCacheSizeMin both attribute of Information Store?
    Start ADSIEDIT.msc Navigate to Configuration > Services > Microsoft Exchange > <Organization Name> > Administrative Groups > <Administrative Group> > Servers > <Server Name> > InformationStore
    http://eightwone.com/2011/04/06/limiting-exchange-2010-sp1-database-cache/
    That ADSIEdit path shouldn't be different on Windows 2012 R2 because it doesn't depend on operating system and it should be always same in Configuration partition of Active Directory. 
    Besides....
    Exchange 2010 SP1 (and SP2) is not supported now so suggest you upgrade to SP3. http://blogs.technet.com/b/rmilne/archive/2013/01/04/end-of-exchange-2010-sp1-support.aspx
    Exchange 2010 (with any service pack or update rollups) is not (yet) supported to install on Windows 2012 R2 - http://technet.microsoft.com/library/ff728623(v=exchg.150).aspx
