Windows 2008 R2 Standard Remote Desktop Users cannot Connect

I have a windows 2008 R2 Standard Terminal Server and some users aren't able to connect even though they are in groups that are in Remote Desktop Users on the local computer. I checked the local security policy setting "Allow log on through Remote
Desktop Services" and I see that Remote Desktop Users is a member of this group. Inside of Remote Desktop Users we have DOMAIN\Domain Users and DOMAIN\Terminal Users. Most of our users are in both groups, but there are still some people that
aren't able to connect via Remote Desktop to this computer. There are no users in "Deny logon through Terminal Services."
Thanks!

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Is it happens to all users or any particular group of users?
Please check by creating new user add them to “Remote Desktop Users” group and then see whether that test user can remote desktop to the server.
It also might happens that you may be limited in number of users or some connection issue or may be firewall setting issue. Please go through beneath article for information.
Remote Desktop disconnected or can’t connect to remote computer or to Remote Desktop server (Terminal Server) that is running Windows Server 2008 R2

Windows Server 2012 Standard - Remote Desktop Management service won't start

Dear colleges, I'm seeking your help in resolving a weird issue with Remote Desktop.
The Remote Desktop Management service gives the following error message any time it is attempted to start:
"The Remote Management Service on Local Computer started and then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services or programs."
The Event Viewer error message is as follows:
"The Remote Desktop Management service failed to start. Error code: 0x88250001"
Whenever I connect to the server with RD I get error message that the Remote Desktop Licensing Server isn't configured and that the RD trill will expire in N-days. The server is up to date updates wise and has been licensed for 5 RD CALs. The server hosts DNS
server and has AD DS role installed, is virtualized to have one Hyper-V server.
I read some blogs about having both DNS and AD DS on one box is a bad sea and a root cause of the issue. Well, that very well may be, but for me that's an option as I'm not going to get a box to just host DNS. There should a solution to this as I shouldn't
only one suffering from this issue.
I also read about KB2871777 - Servicing stack update supposedly addressign this issue. Well, it's on my system and the issue is there too. :)
Will I loose ability to RD when the trial expires or it's just another misleading MS message that can be ignored?
How do I mend Remote Desktop Management service to start?
Appreciate your help!

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server forum.
Can administrators perfectly connect to RDS environment?
In meantime please check that you have properly configured and activated RD License role service and install RDS CAL on it. It might also possible that you have configured RD License server but it server can’t find it and giving you error due to certificate
also. Please check that you have properly configured certificate on your RDS Server. Try to install and update below hotfix for License related issue.
No RDS license when you connect to an RDS farm in Windows Server 2012
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2916846
If you have configured both RDS and AD DS on single server then also you may find some error reading this. If so please try to setup both roles on different server and check the result. In addition to this, please check below articles.

Remote desktop users lost overnight on windows server 2008 R2

We set up a group in active directory to allow certain users access to this Virtual Machine.
I am able to go into the the remote Users of the VM and add this group from active directory.
Every Morning i have to re-add this group as it has gone at some point. There is nothing i can see that would cause this.
Would anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you,

Hi,
According to your description, it seems that the domain Users added in the remote desktop users group disappeared after the reboot, right? What are the operating systems of the clients and server?
In addition, you can try to add domain users to the Remote Desktop Users Group via Group Policy to see if the issue persists. For more detailed information, please refer to the link below:

Group Policy ?

Windows Server 2008R2 running Remote Desktop Services reports printer process does not exist when installing PDF printer

Windows Server 2008R2 running Remote Desktop Services reports printer process does not exist when installing PDF printer, And when Installing network printers from the domain controller it reports it cannot connect to printer. I can ping all
network devices. I can connect to the internet.
On boot I get a netlogon 5719 error followed by service control manager errors 7023,7001 and a group policy error 1129.
Clients can connect to the remote application and RDP operates to connect to the server internally and externally.
The domain controller is another server 2008r2 box. I have scoured the internet but have not found any solutions that work yet.

Hi,
After referring to your post, it can be identified that the issue which you are facing is mostly due to some network issue in your environment. Please recheck your network connection issue between computer and domain controller.
Can you able to ping with IP address and also with fully qualified name of a domain controller in the users' and computers' domain. If it fails states that name resolution issue with computer and domain controller. Are you using MS DHCP Relay agent then there’s
available Hotfix for the particular Event ID. Please go through this KB 2459530 to fix the error event ID.
As per the net logon error 5719 which you are facing states that the client component of Netlogon was unable to locate a DC for the domain it was trying to perform an operation against. Below is one of the reason. If this is being logged on a DC and the event
refers to the DC's own domain, something might be preventing the client component of Netlogon from starting a network session (to itself or to another DC in the domain). The following event 7001 & 7023 states start & stop operation service. Please
go through beneath article for more details.
1. Event ID 5719 is logged when you start a computer
2. Netlogon 5719 and the Disappearing Domain [Controller]
3. Event ID 1129 — Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy
Hope it helps!

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!
Thanks.

Windows 2008 R2 Standard side by side error

I have a Dell Poweredge 310 running Windows 2008 R2 Standard. I have update the bios to the latest version and the bios update did take but now all of my 32bit software will not run. I receive the error “The application has failed to start because its side-by-side
configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log or use the command-line sxstrace.exe tool for more detail”
I have looked over other posts and most have stated to install the C++ redistribution 2008. I was able to install the 64 bit version but I cannot install the 32bit version. I receive the error “The application has failed to start because its side-by-side
configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log or use the command-line sxstrace.exe tool for more detail.”
So I am not able to install any 32bit software. I have tried to enable the WOW64 feature with the command DISM /online /enable-feature/featurename:ServerCore-WOW64 but get this Error: 0x800f080c Feature name ServerCore-WOW64 is unknown.
I have also tried to use this command to setup WOW64 start /w ocsetup ServerCore-WOW64 I get this “The specified windows component could not be found: ServerCore-WOW64.
I have looked at the .Net 3.5 that comes installed in the Windows Features and it is installed. I do not want to uninstall and reinstall the feature because it will take down the AD and I really do not want to rebuild the AD
Is there some setting I am missing?

How could I turn off the Command Key to Windows Key mapping in Remote Desktop for Mac 8

I'd like to be able to turn the Command key->Windows key mapping off. In this new app, whenever I use the Command key to initiate a Mac-side function, it registers a press of the Windows key within the Remote Desktop session. Speaking only
for myself, I use the Command Key for quite a lot of Mac operations, while my need and expectation for a Windows key press is zero.

Agreed. Cannot stop it by disabling the "Windows" key (from within Windows 7). Every time I Cmd-Tab to change apps, the Start Menu pops up,
and persists, overlaying other app windows. Much more than annoying.
Also, there is no Clipboard Sharing, apparently. Love typing in long binary strings into the Registry.

Windows Home Server 2011 - Remote Desktop Issues

I had been using my administrator account to log into my headless Home Server remotely. Didnt have to do it often. I tried today and got:
"To log on to this remote computer, you must be granted the Allow log on through
Terminal Services right. By default, members of the Remote Desktop Users group have this
right. If you are not a member of the Remote Desktop Users group or another group that
has this right, or if the Remote Desktop User group does not have this right, you must be
granted this right manually."
How can I log into the machine to give myself rights? Am I going to have to yank it down out of the closet and hook it up to a monitor?

Your question has not been answered.
Windows Home Server 2011 does not use domains, so even if you had Windows 8.1 Pro, you'd still be left without a solution. I have one PC with Windows 8.1 Enterprise and that does work with Home Server; and a laptop with Windows 7 Pro and that works fine
too. Like you, I have issues with Windows 8.1 Pro.
Does anyone from Microsoft Server actually read these posts?
@PeterPensive,
the OP's original question was relating to "linking/combining" an MS Account with a Win8.x local account. That question was answered. (the answer is no), so, for a WHS scenario, linked accounts aren't possible, but, in Win8.x, an MS Account might be suitable
for use with WHS.
Are you confirming that an MS Account on Win8.x works ok with WHS?
