The remote desktop session host configuration & Remote session shadowing options missing in Windows server 2012.

Hi All,
I am using a Windows server 2012 Standard. When i leave my session idle for more than 20 min it disconnects and post more 20 minutes my session is logged off.
I know this setting can be changed from Remote desktop session host configuration in Windows server 2008 R2. But this option "Remote desktop session host configuration" is not there in Windows server 2012. Does any one have an idea where do i go
and edit these settings in the Server 2012 o/s ?
Also the Remote session shadowing option is also not available when i right click a user in the task manager. Any idea on an alternate method in Windows server 2012 ?

Exactly WHERE are the W2K12 R2 equivalent GPO settings to W2K8 R2 GPO settings of "Set time limit for disconnected sessions" and "set time limit for active but idle Remote Desktop Services
sessions"?  Microsoft changed the remote desktop/terminal services around.  
Appreciate it.

  • Configuring group policy for user profiles in Windows Server 2012 R2 Domain

    Requesting some experts advise on configuring group policy for user profiles.
    We will be building new Windows Server 2012 R2 Domain Controllers (Domain of 400 users).
    The settings which I am concerned:
    1. Folder Redirection: Desktop, Documents, Favorites.
    2. Quota for Folder Redirection - 1 GB per user.
    3. Map a networked drive - 1 GB per user.
    4. Roaming profile - (Will ignore if it does not suit our requirement). 
    The question is how outlook profile will be retained / automatically moved if the users move from once computer to other?
    FYI, E-mails hosted on MS Office365 and OST file size of few users more than 25GB. So, in case the user moves from one computer to other, the entire mailbox will be downloaded via internet. This consumes high bandwidth if more than 3-4 users shift per day.
    Thanks a lot for your valuable time and efforts.

    Hi,
    >>The question is how outlook profile will be retained / automatically moved if the users move from once computer to other?
    This depends on where our outlook data files are stored. If these data files are stored under
    drive:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local, then these files can’t be redirected, for folder redirection can’t redirect appdata local or locallow.
    However, regarding your question, we can refer to the following thread to find the solution.
    Roam outlook profiles without roaming profiles

  • Windows Server 2012 The licensing mode for the Remote Desktop Session Host server is not configured

    Hi
    I have a standard Windows Server 2012 that is hosted in the cloud by a hosting provider -
    This server has been up and running fir 6 months - recently we have been getting a warning
    "The licensing mode for the Remote Desktop Session Host server is not configured" - The Remote Desktop Session Host server is within its grace period, but the RD Session Host server has not been configured with any license server.
    Yet, we only use this with 2 connections as part of the standard licence agreement and this server is not used as a user's desktop only an ftp and web server- do therefore we do not need to purchase any cal licences (we have another server with the same
    hosting company that does not have this issue and has been up for 18months)
    Please can someone advise how I resolve this issue, the hosting company states that I must resolve it as they only host and resell the server licence
    Thank-you
    Richard Steele

    Hi Richard,
    You need to uninstall Remote desktop session host feature. After removing it, you will default two connections which does not need to purchase RD CALs'.

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

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

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

  • Remote Desktop Service Manager - configure permissions for Remote Desktop Users to Send Message, Disconnect, Logoff

    Hello, dear colleagues.
    We are using Windows Server 2012 R2 as Remote Desktop Server. Also use Windows Server 2008 R2 with Remote Desktop Service Manager to control RDS user sessions (Send Message, Disconnect, Logoff, Query Info). 
    Send Message, Disconnect, Logoff options works only for users in Administrators group.
    I can't to configure permissions for Remote Desktop Users, specific user or AD group. 
    To set permissions I'm running RDS Host Configuration on Windows Server 2008 R2 and connect to Windows Server 2012 R2. Then double-click
    RDP-Tcp, Security tab, add specific user account , AD group or configure
    advanced permissions
    for Remote Desktop Users.  
    But, as I sad above, these options works only for users in Administrators group. How to make it work for Remote Desktop Users or specific user, AD group?
    Thanks.
    P.S. If move specific user from Remote Desktop Users group to Administrators group on
    Windows Server 2012 R2 - it works. 

    Hi,
    You can prevent administrators from changing the permissions for a connection by applying the
    Do not allow local administrators to customize permissions Group Policy setting. 
    This Group Policy setting is located in Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Security
    Apart there is one command with which you can set the permission for that check the related
    article. Additionally checkthis
    thread for more detail.
    Hope it helps!

  • Remote Desktop Virtualization Host does not have a license server

    I'm receiving an error when attempting to connect to a virtual desktop that is part of a virtual desktop collection. The server that hosts the virtual desktop collection also hosts a session host collection and the RD licensing server. The event log of the
    server issues event 1156 "The Remote Desktop Virtualization Host server does not have a Remote Desktop license server specified. To specify a license server for the Remote Desktop Virtualization Host server, use the RDS module for Windows PowerShell."
    The RD Licensing Manager indicates that volume licenses have been installed and are available as seen below. The RD Licensing Diagnoser indicates no issues.
    I found a MS blog entry for Windows 2008 R2 that indicates the following: "Because there is no GUI interface for specifying licensing configuration on an RD Virtualization Host server, support has been provided in Windows PowerShell to enable this scenario.
    As a result, a VDI administrator who does not want the (RemoteFX-enabled) RD Virtualization Host server’s licensing settings to be
    centrally managed (from the RD Connection Broker server) can manually configure these settings on the RD Virtualization Host server(s) in the VDI deployment by using the following Windows PowerShell cmdlets:", but I'm not sure if this applies to Windows
    2012 as well.
    Thanks.

    Dale Smith

    Hi Dale,
    Based on my research, please try to use this PowerShell command to set the RD licensing server.
    Set-RDLicenseConfiguration -LicenseServer
    Server FQDN -Mode PerUser
    Set-RDLicenseConfiguration
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj215465.aspx
    Also, please note that the RDVH server must be a member of a VDI collection.

  • Unable to Change Screen Resolution in Remote Session - Windows Server 2012 R2

    Does anybody know of a way to allow Remote Desktop users to adjust their own screen resolution in a remote session under Windows Server 2012 R2? We are struggling with this and can't seem to find a solution.
    When users login to their RDP session and try to adjust their screen resolution this message is displayed in Control Panel:
    "The display settings can't be changed from a remote session."
    We don't want to use the "make text and other items larger or smaller" scaling feature, as this produces undesirable results with some of our applications.  We also don't want to have to support multiple types of RDP clients or RDP shortcut
    files.
    We have looked at other posts but can't find an answer that applies to Windows Server 2012 R2.  The closest thing we could find is KB2726399, but it only applies to Server 2008.
    Does anybody have a solution for Server 2012?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Currently you cannot change the resolution from within the session.  This is normal and expected behavior.  
    Unfortunately this means you need to set the desired resolution before connecting by using custom .rdp files, manually within the Remote Desktop Client, custom web launch page, custom windows launch program, etc.

    Hi,
    Add to Brain, you cannot have more than 15 user accounts in Windows Server 2012 Foundation.
    In order to access a hosted application, such as Microsoft® Office, a license for Windows Server 2012 Remote Desktop Services is required for each user account (not to exceed 15 user
    accounts) that directly or indirectly uses RD Gateway to host a graphical user interface, including using Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) client. When using Remote Desktop Services, you may not install or use Remote Desktop Connection Broker or Remote

  • Remote Desktop Configuration on Windows Server 2012 R2

    Hi, I wanted to see if anyone knows how to access the console that was known before as Terminal Services Configuration.
    I've been having trouble with some servers that have 2 or more NICs and sometimes the RDP protocol won't listen on the right IP and I can't connect until I disable the other NICs.
    Usually in 2008 R2 I would just go on this console and define the specific IP Address in which the RDP Protocol should be listening to, but know I can't find this console anywhere on 2012 R2.
    Any ideas on how I can get there or change this setting on Windows Server 2012 R2?
    Thanks
    Eduardo Rojas

    Hi,
    Based on my research, please try the following on your Windows Server 2012 R2.
    1. Start Registry Editor.
    2. Navigate to the following registry key (path may wrap):
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Network\{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
    3. Under this key are one or more keys for the globally unique identifiers (GUIDs) corresponding to the installed LAN connections. Each of these GUID keys has a Connection subkey. Open each
    of the GUID\Connection keys and look for the Name value. Choose the connection you want Terminal Services to use.
    4. When you have found the GUID\Connection key that contains the Name setting that matches the name of your LAN connection, write down or otherwise note the GUID value.
    5. Then navigate to the following key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\lanatable. Using the GUID you noted in step 5 select subkey. Note it's LanaId.
    6. Navigate to the following value:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp\LanAdapter. Change it's data to the value you noted in step 6. If you want RDP to listen on all LAN
    adapters enter value of 0.
    Note: Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you
    modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, please refer to
    How to back up and restore the registry in Windows.
    Hope this helps.

  • Using Windows Server 2012 per-User RDS CAL on Server 2008 R2 Session Host

    I have a Remote Desktop Licensing Server setup on my domain controller running Windows Server 2012 R2. I have installed a
    ’Windows Server 2012 Remote Desktop Services per-User CAL’ there and activated the licensing server already.
    Currently I use ONLY Windows Server 2008 R2 machines as RDS Session Hosts (in the future I plan to transition them to 2012 R2, hence the CAL I bought is
    already in the newest version).
    I have already configured my WS 2008 RDS Session Hosts: set
    Per-User licensing mode and specified license server address. The connectivity between my Session Host(s) and my License Server seems to be ok as the
    Remote Desktop Session Host Configuration window on the Session Host correctly lists the 2012 per-user
    license (CAL installed on server) from the license server.
    On the License Server I can also see event logs entries (in
    Microsoft-Windows-TerminalServices-Licensing/Admin), indicating that the user has been issued a license.
    The issue I am having is that the license being issued is
    2008 Per User CAL license (Build-in OverUsed - temporary) and not the 2012 Per User CAL license which is the only license installed on the server. According to the RDS CAL interoperability matrix at
    social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/14988.rds-and-ts-cal-interoperability-matrix.aspx, I was expecting the 2012 license to be backward-compatible with 2008 client (and that
    in the absence of legacy licenses, the (only) 2012 license would be used for all clients connecting to the licensing server)
    Before I bought my license, I found this document: 
    download.microsoft.com/download/3/D/4/3D42BDC2-6725-4B29-B75A-A5B04179958B/WindowsServerRDS_VLBrief.pdf 
    which says that - "newer version RDS CALs can be used with an older version of the server software" (In section FAQ, Q4), which means to me that
    the 2012 license would work as-is for the 2008 Server and gives me flexibility when upgrading to the new server version.
    How can I make this CAL work in my environment? 
    Note:
    I have already explicitly disabled
    Prevent license upgrade Group Policy setting which I assumed would fix the issue but nothing has changed.
    Then I have enabled License server security group Group Polity setting
    and added computers from my domain to RDS Endpoint Servers AD group. I have also created new AD group called
    Terminal Server Computers and added the computer accounts there, but it changes
    nothing. Reference - technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee791761.aspx , technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc725704.aspx and blogs.msdn.com/b/rds/archive/2009/09/17/control-the-issuance-of-rds-cals.aspx.
    I found one potential ‘workaround’ which involved manually downgrading my CAL license by calling
    Microsoft Clearinghouse. I am very reluctant do to so because, as I upgrade parts of my infrastructure to Server 2012, I’d need to then ask Microsoft to manually upgrade a part of my license back as well.
    Am I missing something? What should I do to get my 2012 CAL to be issued to 2008 R2 server

    Hi, I have tried several other possibilities.
    I change expire date for my temporary assigned license (2008 CAL overused). It can be done, by changing Active Directory user properties – msTSExpireDate. When I restart my Session Host server and logged again, my license was renewed
    for next 60 days (event ID - 4145).
    I also delete information about license for this user (clear msTSExpireDate and msTSLicenseVersion). And the license was successfully removed from License Manager. After another SH restart it gets the same – 2008 overused – license
    (event ID 4143 - license server has successfully issued …)
    I now, that changing info in AD attributes is a little trick, and this is not a real value - only a reference, but it was useful to delete or change expiration date of license. But it didn’t change type of license as I expected.

    I have found your post with information:

  • Web Access for Remote Desktop on Windows Server 2012

    Hello,
    i've a Windows Server 2012 without a domain. So i installed the remote desktop session host, the remote desktop license server and the remote desktop gateway as a server role only. All is working fine. Without a domain, no management tools for remote
    desktop are available. So i configure the remote desktop via the registry. I define (via registry) some remoteapps, too. All values are copied from a running Windows Server 2008 R2. So the remoteapps are runing.
    Now i want to use the new Microsoft Remote Desktop client for Android. To use a remoteapp i must define a remote resource. To define a remote resource i need a url to the web access for remote desktop. So i installed the web access. But if i login to the
    web access, i don't see any remoteapp. What's wrong? I've set the ShowInTSWA to 1. What must i do to access an existing remoteapp via web access?

    Hi Martin,
    Server 2012 RD Web Access is designed to retrieve published RemoteApps and Desktops from a Server 2012 RD Connection Broker and/or a Server 2008 R2 RD Session Host server.  From your description it doesn't appear that you are using either of the above.
    I know it is a more complicated set up, but you should consider having a domain, creating a RDS deployment, etc., so that you can use the full featureset as it was intended.  You can do it all on a single server if needed.  For Server 2012
    there is a hotfix that needs to be applied to permit RD Connection Broker to work on the same server instance as active directory.

  • Connecting to Remote Desktop using proxy and Remote Desktop Gateway?

    I have setup a Remote Desktop Gateway server using Windows Server 2012 R2. I am using the Remote Desktop Gateway as an intermediary between to provide the remote desktop session over 443 since 3389 is blocked at many client locations.
    However, I ran into a problem with a client who's using a web proxy.
    Is is possible to configure Remote Desktop to connect via web proxy? If so, how? If not does any one have any suggestions on how to provide a Remote Desktop session via 443 over proxy for situations where you don't control the client's PC or network? Does RemoteApps
    allow for access via web proxy when using RD Gateway?
    The error message is below:
    Your computer can't connect to the remote computer because the web proxy server requires authentication. To allow unauthenticated traffic to an RD Gateway server through your web proxy server, contact your network administrator.
    Thanks for any help!

    Hi,
    My suggestion is to setup a RD Web Access server and make it available for your clients via proxy.
