UE-V 2.0 RDS

Simple question, is there a separate install file (like App-v) or can I just install the standard UE-V agent on server 2012 R2 with RDS role?

Hi,
No separate install file, use the standard UE-V agent installer.

Deploying Applications with SCCM 2012 R2 to Server 2008 R2 RDS servers

I'm having some trouble finding some concrete information from Microsoft regarding the deployment of applications to RDS servers using SCCM 2012 R2. There seems to be a lot of conjecture, old information and old wives tales floating around and I was hoping
I could get some information confirmed!
1. MSI installs automatically switch to install mode on RDS servers?
I've seen this mentioned a few times. I've also seen it mentioned that it is only true when running the MSI from the console session manually (i.e clicking the MSI file) not running as SYSTEM as SCCM would usually do. Can someone confirm if they do this
themselves or not?
2. Users still logged in when deploying applications?
Is it possible to deploy an application while users are still logged in? Is this only related to going into 'install' mode and taking the chance that a user will do something that will cause issues? Or is it known to cause issues?
I guess those are the main ones, I'm experienced in SCCM but not with deploying to RDS servers, I cant seem to find any straight answers!
Anyway, thanks in advance!

I've never had large enough RDS environment to use SCCM for app push, but from my experience in managing 2012/R2 RDS and local installs, I never bother with switching to install mode anymore and it works fine. Now if you're skeptical, you can
easily build this into a script that runs as a pre-req to your .MSI as part of the software package in SCCM so it's not a big deal.
As for installing apps while users are logged in, shouldn't be a problem if you're installing a new app., if however you're updating an existing application or uninstalling it, then it may be best to drain that RDS host first of all user sessions then do
the work just to be safe. this also helps avoid reboots.

How do you configure a farm name in RDS 2012?

I understand Remote Desktop Services has undergo some drastric changes.
How do you configure a farm name in RDS 2012? Or is the concept around farm name changed in another concept?
Although I have imported a certificate on the RDCH withe the farm name I want to use. When I click on a RemoteApp on the RD Web Access portal, it does not connect to the right farm name.
Boudewijn Plomp, BPMi Infrastructure & Security

You don't. You create a collection. A client connects to the Connection Broker and then is redirected to the collection it is connecting to. The collection name is embedded in the connection file that the client downloads from RDWeb or
the RDWeb feed.
A collection is basically at least one RDSH server (for session based desktops) or one virtual machine (virtual machine based desktops).

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 Server 2012 R2 RDS + User profile Disks + App-V = Explorer.exe crashing all of the time

I have built a new RDS farm on Windows Server 2012 R2 with two Session Hosts and a combined Connect Broker/Web Access server. I had the farm up and running with User Profile Disks and all seemed OK. However, as soon as I installed the App-V 5.0 SP2 RDS
client on the session hosts, the explorer.exe process started crashing for any user logging in via the Web Access site. The process crashes and restarts every five to ten seconds. It's the same for administrators. If they log in via Web Access explorer.exe
crashes, but if they RDP directly to one of the session hosts explorer.exe is fine. If I reboot the session hosts, then the first user to log in via Web Access has a stable desktop session (and appears to have a new profile as well). However, if that user
logs out and back in again, explorer.exe starts crashing again. The only applications I have packaged at the moment are Office 2013 and Firefox.
I tried disabling User Profile Disks, but this caused a whole bunch of other problems and I eventually lost the ability to log in at all via Web Access (errors about the user profile service). As this is a small pre-production environment I completed scrapped
all of the servers and rebuilt from scratch. Again, everything appeared fine until I installed the App-V client, then explorer.exe started crashing repeatedly for all users.
Has anyone come across this issue before? I have tried installing the App-V 5.0 SP2 Hotfix Package 2, but this didn't help. I have read in a few forums that App-V doesn't work very well with User Profile Desks, but I have not heard of this particular issue.
Similarly, SP2 seems to have a lot of problems, so I am going to try removing App-V RDp Client SP2 and installing SP1. I ahev also deleted User Profile Disks for the test users to recreate their profiles, but this didn't help either.
Any other suggestions welcome!

I forgot to include the application event log entry for explorer.exe crashing:

Windows Server 2012 R2 RDS: RDS Users are unable to delete files from their desktop

Hello,
We are working with Windows Server 2012 R2 RDS. We also implemented User Profile Disks. This is all working fine without problems. The only issue I have is that normal users are unable to delete files from their desktop. They are getting a message:
you'll need administrator permission to delete this file, with the prompt for administrator access.
They can edit, copy, rename, cut and paste files. But they cannot delete a file from their desktop.
I checked the security permissions of the files on the desktop (for example a normal self-created PDF file) and the users are owner and have "Full Control" over the files.
I checked the file permissions and took a look under "Advanced", selecting the specific domain user and checked the "Advanced Permissions" and the user has the "Delete" option checked. So he should be able to delete the
file.
I am guessing this is UPD related issue, or something in GPO. But I already unlinked the GPO objects, that I felt could be the source of this problem, but without results.
Could someone give me a hint on where to look? It's kinda annoying to users, that they can't delete their own files.

Hello Bria,
What you should check first, is the NTFS permissions on the User Profile Disk to begin with. See if the user has full control over the items that are in the UPD.
Also check the GPO's that are enabled for the user and computer account. You can check that by running: gpresult /h <path>\gpresult.html
There are two GPO settings that could prevent the user from deleting his/her own items:
User
Configuration\\Policies\\Administrative Templates\\Windows Components\\Windows Explorer\
Hide these specified drives in My Computer
Prevent access to specified drives in My
Computer
There might be other GPO settings, that block deleting items on the UPD, but can't think of any out of my head.
I can only think NTFS and GPO settings that might prevent the user from deleting items. In my case it was a GPO setting, that I didn't suspect.

Compatibility between RDS 2.0.10 & Java SE 8 ?

I just upgraded from Java 1.7 to 1.8 (1.8.0_31) and my apexlistener (actually RDS 2.0.10) doesn't start anymore due to an exception error with the message below :

I read that some compatiblity issues may come with Java 8..
Should I reinstall Java 7? is there any foreseen patch for RDS if it's a compatibility issue ? I also precise that I'm running my Apex environment in a standalone mode.
Thanks for your feedback.

There is no official statement of certification for Java 8. We do support it, however, our stress testing is focused primary on Java 7.

Server 2012 - Problem with multiple instances of RDS looking to the same license server. Server Pools requiring the wrong servers.

Hi All,
I have two domains, prod.local and test.local. On prod.local, I have a license server living on the connection broker. I have created a two way trust between the domains so that the RDS instance on test.local can use the license server on prod.local.
When I first setup the RDS instance on test.local and point it to use the license server on prod.local everything appears to work, all servers recognize the license server.
However when I log off and back on, and click the RDS dashboard in test.local, the Remote Desktop Services overview states I need to add every server from prod.local to the server pool. This is bothersome because the Remote Desktop Services on test.local
is still functioning, but I am no longer able to manage it. When I add the servers from prod.local to the server pool I am displayed the setup for prod.local instead of test.local
Is there a way around this? Can I use the same RDS license server key multiple times?
tldr: Using a different domain's license server causes my RDS instance in Server Manager to display the wrong RDS farm.

Hi Nathan,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server forum.
Please check the required ports must be opened on firewall.
- To issue RDS Per User CALs to users in other domains, there must be a two-way trust between the domains, and the license server must be a member of the Terminal Server License Servers group in those domains.
- To restrict the issuance of RDS CALs, you can add RDS Host Servers into Terminal Server Computers group on RDS Licensing servers.
- Configure RDS licensing server on all RDS Host Servers in each domain/forest. You can do it through RDS host configuration snap-in or through a group policy.
- Add administrators group of each domain/forest in the local administrators of RDS licensing server. This way, you’ll not get a prompt to enter your credentials when you’ll open RDS host configuration snap-ins in trusted domains/forests.

Hello 976232,
This type of issue would definitely be Oracle Support territory, so I'd be definitely checking in with them. A few clarifying questions you can expect to be asked:
- What is the impact on your system because of this error message
- How often does it happen
- Can you trigger it on demand?

Office 2013 VL and app-v 5 SP2 on RDS server - package add fails with script error

We have used the MS Office Depolyment Tool for click-to-run to download the latest Office 365 version, and flatten it into an app-v 5 package - not a problem.
When we try to add the package to our client machine (Server 2008R2 running the app-v 5 SP2 client software), it fails with an message that a script has failed and not returned a 0 code. We have not added any scripting to this automatically created

I have just built a brand new Windows Server 2008R2 Datacentre VM, patched it to the hilt, and installed the RDS role, powershell 3 and appv 5.0 SP2 client for RDS.

It is not complaining that scripting is not allowed, it is complaining that the script is invalid.

Error installing Office 2013 on Server 2012 R2 RDS - Error 25004: the product key you entered cannot be used on this machine

Hi there,
I really hope someone can help me as I am tearing my hair out trying to get this resolved!
I am working on a Server 2012 R2 server with RDS running. Before it was turned into a RDS server it had a copy of Office 2010 running as a trial to see would it work for the accounting package that is running for users via Remote Desktop. Trial worked ok
so it was converted into a RDS server. Now, as its a RDS it needs to run Office under a volume licence, which I have. However when trying to install I get the message: "Error 25004: the product key you entered cannot be used on this machine. this is most
likely due to previous Office 2013 trials being installed on the system."
In summary I have tried everything I can think of and find to remove all traces of the old Office from the machine but still this message persists. I have run the Fix It For Me uninstall from MS and it cannot find any Office installed. i have manually searched
through all of the Windows directories including Program Files and AppData and removed all traces of Office from there, I have searched the registry and removed all I can find from there.
Where or what file does the installer look at to see that a previous version was installed?
I cannot scrub this machine which I would have done long ago because there is another SQL Server based application running on it.
Really really appreciate anyone that can help me on this,
Thanks

Hi,
I have definitely heard your frustration, and I’ll try my best to help you.
Since Office 2010 installed on it before, you need to remove Office 2010 completely.

A similar issue is addressed here. Although this method is based on Office 2010, but we can have a try:

How do I verify an RDS session is getting a virtual IP?

I followed the MS walkthru here
(http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee308290(WS.10).aspx)
to set up a lab to test RDS virtual IP's.
I have a DC, Web Access Server (don't think I need this), Connection Broker, DHCP Server, 2 RDS Servers, 5 WinXP Clients, 5 Win7 Clients.
DC=10.0.0.1, RDS1=10.0.0.2, RDS2=10.0.0.3, Connection Broker=10.0.0.5, Web Access=10.0.0.6, DHCP=10.0.0.10 (DHCP pool=10.0.0.100-10.0.0.200), Clients=10.0.0.20-29
I have IP Virtualization turned on through group policy per session.
I have my 2 RDS servers joined to a farm called labfarm through group policy.
I have DNS Round Robin set up via DNS on the DC.
When I connect my clients to the RDS Servers, I run ipconfig on the clients, and they all only show the static IP of the RDS Server. I was under the impression that with IP virtualization
turned on, each client would show 2 IP's.....1 for the host, and one would be the virtual IP.
Also, when I look in the DHCP server, I do not see any leases.
I am correct in the above statement? If not, how do I verify that my clients are all getting virtual IP's?

I couldn't wait....I just removed vmware tools and reinstalled without the driver mentioned in that article and it works great now. Thanks alot.
I have another question though. When I connect Client1 to RDS1 and run ipconfig, I see the static IP of the RDS server, and 1 extra IP....which I expected. Leaving Client1 connected, I connect Client2 to the same RDS1 server and run ipconfig.
I then see the static IP and 2 ip addresses. leaving both Client 1 & 2 connected, I connect Client3 to the same RDS1 server and run ipconfig. I still only see the same 2 ip address. I connected up to 5 clients to the same RDS server,
and all I see are the same 2 virtual ip's on every session.
I thought each session was to be assigned it's own IP address. Why are there only 2 being handed out? and why am I seeing multiple IP addresses per session? I was expecting to see on each session, the RDS server IP, and 1 other unique IP address....not
multiple addresses, and surely not only 2 address.
The pool I have set up in dhcp is from .100 to .200, so there are plenty of addresses to go around. Is there a setting somewhere to limit the number of virtual IP's? Is there a way to make it unlimited? If I use this in production, I'll need up to 50 sessions
per host to have their own IP....is this possible?

ColdFusion Report Builder and RDS connection

I'm trying to build report in CF report builder 8. Under the RDS server connection I have
Description: TEST
HostName: ColdFusionServerHost
Port: 8001
I don't have the RDS PWD.
When I hit Test connections it gives me the following message:
The RDS server was successfully contacted, but your security credentials were invalid...
If I hit OK and go to Query builder I don't see and DB. Is there a way around this....
Any help is appreciated...

Exactly the same problem here

None of the obvious steps works.

Report Builder and RDS

I just installed CF 8.1 Report Builder and attempted to use
it for the first time.
Is it required to have RDS activated on the server in order
to use report Builder?

RDS Gateway + Smart Card Error [ The specified user name does not exist.]

I have the following Windows Server 2008 R2 servers:
addsdc.contoso.com, AD DS Domain Controller for contoso.com
adcsca.contoso.com, AD CS Enterprise CA, CDPs/AIAs published externally.
fileserver.contoso.com, RDS Session Host for Administration enabled
rdsgateway.contoso.com, RDS Gateway enabled
tmgserver.contoso.com, 'Publishing' rdsgateway.contoso.com but with pass-through authentication
And the following Windows 7 PCs:
internalclient.contoso.com
externalclient.fabrikam.com
There's no trust between the domains, the external client is completely separate on the internet but the CA certificate for contoso.com has been installed in the trusted Root CA store. All servers have certificates for secure RDP.
I enrolled for a custom 'Smart Card Authentication' certificate with Client Authentication and Smart Card Logon EKUs from the CA, stored on my new Gemalto smart card using the Microsoft Base Smart Card CSP.
From internalclient.contoso.com, I can RDP to fileserver.contoso.com
using the smart card just fine with no certificate errors.
From externalclient.fabrikam.com, I can RDP to fileserver.contoso.com
via rdsgateway.contoso.com using a username and password just fine with no certificate errors.
From externalclient.fabrikam.com, I can RDP to fileserver.contoso.com
via rdsgateway.contoso.com using the smart card to authenticate to the gateway, and a username and password to authenticate to the end server, just fine.
BUT from when using a smart card to authenticate to the end server via the gateway, it fails with:
The specified user name does not exist. Verify the username and try logging in again. If the problem continues, contact your system administrator or technical support.
When I move the client into the internal network and try the connection again (still via the RDS Gateway), it works fine - the only thing I can think of is being outside the network and not being able to contact the AD DS DC for Kerberos is causing the issue
- but I'm pretty sure this is a supported scenario?
The smart card works fine internally, the subject of the certificate is the user's common name (John Smith) and the only SAN is
[email protected] which matches the UPN of the user account as it was auto-enrolled.
Does anyone have any ideas?

I had a similar issue where I am using a smart card through a Remote Desktop Gateway. I had to disable Network Level Authentication (NLA) on the destination Remote Desktop Server. If anyone has another way around this, I'd appreciate hearing it. I'd prefer
to use NLA.

Excel 2010, Smartview 11.1.2.2.310, and Windows Server RDS

Have any of you tried deploying Smartview and Excel over Microsoft's newer RDS server? Everything will work fine for me when logging into the server via Remote Desktop, but when I try to access Excel via RDS (RemoteApp), I have problems dragging and dropping the feilds from Smart View's POV panel. Anybody else have this problem? I have the same problem from RDS on both Windows Server 2008R2 & 2012.
By the way, I know this isn't supported by Oracle.

Not really remote desktop connection. I do have the server configured to use LAN as the default setting when the application is launched from the RDS browser site.
