Windows 8 remote desktop touch keyboard problem

I have been playing with the HP Elitepad Tablets at work for some users, who need to connect to terminal servers, or their PC. The issue that they have is that the standard RDC does not support the touch keyboard (different then the onscreen keyboard or
virtual keyboard). When they connect into the remote session they are able to pull up the touch keyboard, but by a series of maneuvers that I don't expect anyone to have to fight with (swipe in the charms, tap settings, tap keyboard, and then select "Touch
keyboard and handwriting panel". Then they are allowed to type into a field but if the keyboard needs to close so they can actually view the screen then this has to be done again). I have downloaded the Remote Desktop app from the Windows Store and have
used this and it works well, you can tap the PC you're connected to at the top and select the keyboard, but not every user has a Microsoft Account, and I am not in the position to have them sign up for one just to get one app not to mention issues of using
their personal email for their work PC.
Is there a way to get the Remote Desktop "App" from the Windows Store without having to sign in with a Microsoft account?
Is there a way to add in Remote Apps to the Remote Desktop app for easy switching between RPDs? (Swiping from left to right or selecting the dropdown from the Remote Desktop app and switching between RDCs)
Any help would be appreciated. Again this is only for a few devices, we currently have less then 10 of these tablets on our domain.

Any error messages prompted or shown under Event Viewer? Please paste related information here so we can better find the cause.
Meanwhile, you can refer to the KB below, check if it can help you

Windows Components/remote desktop services/remote desktop session host/profile doesn't appear to be working on 2008R2 boxes

I have two domains.   One is an account domain with a one way trust with the resource domain.   Resource domain trusts the account domain and has a number of 2008R2 servers running within. I am experiencing severe logon delays
due to these servers being unable to access the server that hosts the user home folder specified directly on the user account profile tab from the account domain.   When using my workstation in the actual account domain (corporate) I have no
problems.
Because of these network restrictions, I need to override the 2008R2's desire to access that user home folder location in the account domain.
So far the best thing I have found to try is Windows Components/remote desktop services/remote desktop session host/profile/Set Remote Desktop User Home Directory
The problem is that so far I have tried to configure this to point to both a local folder as well as a network path and it doesn't appear to be doing anything.   Not seeing any errors in the app or system log either.
It is still trying to map the path in the account domain.
Any ideas?
Is there a better way to accomplish my goal?   The servers in the resource domain will be Citrix servers and there will be a lot of users connecting from the account domain.
I tried this setting too, but it only seems to work on the 2012 machines in my Resource domain.
With the introduction of Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012 there is now a new group policy setting called “Set user home folder” and is found under Computer Configuration > Policies > Administrative Templates > System > User Profiles
Help!

Hi,
This might be due to permission problems. Please check whether the user accounts for whose home folder to be redirected have permissions in the shared folder specified in the server.

Using Windows 7 Remote Desktop with Airport Extreme...help!

I recently purchased an Airport Extreme to replace an old Linksys router I had. Its works great, but I'm having an issue when I send my brother a remote desktop assistance link in Windows 7. We are both running Windows 7 and never had this problem in the past, but now that I'm using an Airport Extreme it wont connect. Tech support could not provide the correct ports that needed to be opened. I'm thinking it has something to do with NAT PMP (Apple) and UPNP (Microsoft). We have opened ports 3389 and 491152 - 65535 but no luck.
So my question...how can I enable the Airport Extreme to allow Windows 7 Remote Desktop Assistance?

Sorry, that should be remote "assistance" not "desktop"

Windows 7 remote desktop connection cannot logoff the local user

Windows 7 remote desktop connection cannot logoff the local user
Remote Desktop connection:
(This experience is from Windows 7 remote to Windows Embedded Standard 7 computer)
I used Remote Desktop to try to log on to a Windows 7 (WES7E) computer and someone is already logged on locally (Console Session), I saw a message like this:
"Another user is currently logged on to this computer. If you continue, this user has to disconnect from this computer. Do you want to continue?"
I click on Yes.
Then I saw "Please wait for [username] to respond". No action from the logged-on local user, I waited for 30 seconds, then I was able to login the computer and at the same time was able to disconnect the logged-on local user.
Question:
1. "Another user is currently logged on to this computer..." message doesn't show me the actual logged-on user name. Is there any way to show the user name in this pop-up message?
2. After waiting for 30 seconds, I was able to login the computer and the logged-on local user is disconnected, however this local user is never been logged-off. I wanted to logoff the local user (with Console Session) when I made the connection remotely
to the computer from remote desktop (Just like Windows XP) Is there any group policy can change the behavior?
The policies I have looked at are:
Local Computer Policy | Computer Config | Admin Templates | Windows Components | Remote Desktop Services|Connections|Deny
logoff of an administrator logged in to the console session => disabled

Hi ,
These behavior is by design. There is no way to change that. Thank you for your understanding.

Windows 2012 Remote desktop session host server not detecting RD licensing server

Hi,
We have a customer server which is Windows 2012. We installed RDS session host server role and configured it to use RD licensing server as per the
https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2833839?wa=wsignin1.0
After configuring, when I open RD license diagonser tool, it says, RD license server is not available. Also shows, credential not available. When I enter the credential by clicking, provide credentials, it does not get applied. I see no event logs related
to RD service. However, I see the below event log which points to RD licensing server.
DCOM was unable to communicate with the computer <RD license server> using any of the configured protocols; requested by PID 273c (C:\Windows\system32\mmc.exe).
Please help in fixing the issue.
Thanks,
Umesh

Hi Umesh,
Thanks for your comment.
During your configuration, have you specified RD License server for RDSH to use?
You can also specify a license server for the RD Session Host server to use by applying the Group Policy under below path.
Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Licensing
Use the specified Remote Desktop license servers – Provide the FQDN of the license servers to use
Also this setting can be specified by below method.
To configure the license server on RDSH/RDVH:
$obj = gwmi -namespace "Root/CIMV2/TerminalServices" Win32_TerminalServiceSetting
$obj.SetSpecifiedLicenseServerList("License.contoso.com")
Note “License” is the name of the License Server in the environment
To verify the license server configuration on RDSH/RDVH:
$obj = gwmi -namespace "Root/CIMV2/TerminalServices" Win32_TerminalServiceSetting
$obj.GetSpecifiedLicenseServerList()
More information.

Can I use System Center 2012 Endpoint Protection in "Windows Server Remote Desktop Session Host" without buy the license ?

Can I use System Center 2012 Endpoint Protection in Azure Virtual Machine Gallary's "Windows Server Remote Desktop Session Host" without buy the System Center 2012 Endpoint Protection license ?
I want to protect my Azure RemoteApp against the malware.
System Center 2012 Endpoint Protection installed Azure Virtual Machine Gallary's "Windows Server Remote Desktop Session Host".
Now, I try to build Azure RemoteApp template by using the Azure Virtual Machine Gallary's "Windows Server Remote Desktop Session Host" .
Regards,
Yoshihiro Kawabata

Hi Yoshihiro,
Unless and until Microsoft modifies the license terms for System Center 2012 Endpoint Protection and/or modifies the Online Services Terms (OST) and/or other document explicitly saying that use is included with the Azure RemoteApp (ARA) monthly
fee I recommend you assume as that it is
not included and license it separately for ARA if that is even possible, which is a separate question.
For licensing it is best to be cautious and make decisions based on the official documents that are available that govern use of the software and services involved. At this moment I'm not able to find a Microsoft document that grants use of System
Center 2012 Endpoint Protection with Azure RemoteApp.
When I first used the gallery template and noticed that Endpoint Protection was installed within it I had the same question as you. I will update this thread if/when I obtain more information.

Windows server 2003 Remote desktop over WAN problem.

Ok so problem is there is a 2003 windows server in my office. Any computer phone etc. can connect to it via Remote desktop if they are in the LAN network. I have port forwarded 3389 , disabled firewalls , there is no antivirus software on the server.
BUT I cannon log in over WAN. Heres the problem.
I type in the WAN ip I connect with credentials.
This is what i get:
Connecting...
Negotiating credentials...
Then it just suddenly force closes.
Also tried from a Windows 8 PC , when trying to connect it INSTANTLY throws me an error saying:
This computer cant connect to the remote computer. If the problem continues contact etc..
No matter where i try , a pc , a laptop , a phone , a tablet it just force closes. I can see that the devices are able to see the server and are trying to connect , but the connection just force closes for no reason and no error is shown. Also I dont see
anything in the event viewer on the server. The credentials are correct also. And the port is forwarded correctly.
Where could the problem be?

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
As you have commented that you have forwarded port correctly at windows end, but still suggest you to check whether you have port forwarded on Router which you are using for WAN connections.
Can your local system can make successful ping to the remote server from WAN connections?
For testing you can telnet <router ip> 3389 and if you get blank screen then it confirm that port has been forwarded.
It might happens that there is port assignment conflict taken place, so check with “netstat –a –o” and see port 3389 is not being used by other application, if that is the case then change the port.
You can refer following article for more troubleshooting steps (Point 2)

CUPS PDF PRINTING IN WINDOWS OVER REMOTE DESKTOP - PRINTER NOT LISTED

I am running OS X 10.6.2. I connect remotely using windows remote desktop / terminal services to various windows machines. For the XP and Windows 2003 Server 32 bit systems I have no problems with printing pdf documents from the remote windows system back to my mac using CUPS PDF. I don't have to install anything on the remote windows computer. However, for Windows 2003 Server 64 bit and Windows 7 Professional 64 bit, the CUPS PDF printer does not appear in the printer list. I tried installing the Laserwriter 8500 print driver (which apparently CUPS uses) and attaching to a unused TS printing port. The printer appears in the list but it won't print, and it's obviously not attaching to my computer.
I can't upgrade my mac operating system until I resolve a keyboard driver issue with 10.6.3 and above. Any suggestions?

I am having a similar issue. I'm using Remote Desktop to connect to a 2008 R2 server and am trying to use PDFWriter as a redirected printer to create a PDF. It is only working after I check print to file, save the file (which it creates an XPS file that is not compatible), then I uncheck print to file, click print, and then it creates the pdf file I need.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Basically - I need to have a "PDF" printer because the print window is on the remote server and it doesn't have the save as pdf option.
Thanks.

Windows server 2012 and windows xp remote desktop connection loss

I am having this problem for a month now, and i am stumped with trying to find an answer . I have talked with several network admins in my area and with no luck i have not found a solution. I have a windows server 2012 placed with 5 pcs that are connected
on a local network , those 5 pc's connect to the server via remote desktop. List of pc's:
1x Windows 7
4x Windows XP SP3
All have the latests network drivers, all have the latest version of remote desktop installed. All have been scanned for viruses. All have antivirus software.
Problem is the 4 XP machines lose connection on when connected via remote desktop. If one starts losing connection the other 3 start to lose the connection aswell. The windows 7 machine is not affected by this it works fine.
What have I tried:
Scanning for viruses.
Disabling Firewall and antivirus software.
Updating all drivers.
Did many changes to group policy like keepalives etc.
Turning off SMBv2 SMBv3.
Turning off network adapter Offload settings.
Changed some registry settings like keepalive, smb etc.
Updating every pc and server with all windows updates.
Changed the router and switch.
Port forwarded needed ports like 3389.
Updating remote desktop to 7.0.
I might be forgetting some stuff i will add as i remember anything.
So the thing is this. I use a Windows XP machine from my office I remotely connect to the server via the Internet and I DO NOT experience any connection loss. BUT the XP machines on the local network constantly experience connection loss via remote desktop.
I pinged every Machine from the server via CMD command PING. So when they lose connection the Packets get time outs . Packets get dropped between 1-10 packets when a connection is lost. This packet drop does not occur when using the internet or anything else.
ONLY when connected to the server via remote desktop. The packets get dropped at random intervals.
Problem is I use an XP machine and I am not experiencing any loss of connection , while the XP machines on the local network experience it , but not the windows 7 machine.
Router is ASUS RT-N53 , and switch is Dlink DES-1008D. Server is a Dell PowerEdge T110 II.
Can someone please tell me what can i do to solve this problem?

So today got some word from their office. They were using RDP from 8AM until 12PM all was working fine. Then got back after lunch about 1PM and got a few connection lost errors when they tried using RDP again. Its weird since they didn't have disconnects
in the morning, and started having them after lunch.
Also noticed, that two pc were not using RDP and were disconnected as shown in task manager. And they still got request timeouts.
Maybe this is not a remote desktop issue?

It looks like you have to have a postscript printer (i.e. a laser printer). I have been trying to solve this problem for some time with no luck so far.

Windows Embedded 8.1 Industry Pro Application Launcher Remote Desktop Services Feed VDI with Windows Store Remote Desktop Client

I wanted to make kiosks which are joined into a domain and set up with an Remote Desktop Web Feed with VDI Desktops (to support Single Sign On and minimize configuration needs on the client side). And I wanted to lock those Clients to launch only the Remote
Desktop Windows Store application. And if somebody clicks on a Desktop Pool then connect to the choosen Pool. But instead of doing this the Remote Desktop application opens the Pool within the old mstsc.exe and right after connecting the OS switches the focus
back to the Remote Desktop Windows Store application. And nobody can work in the office with this configuration.
So how can I correct this problem? Any other solutions? What is the official way to doing this?

Hi,
Based on my test, we cannot associate .rdp files with the Remote Desktop Windows Store App. Therefore, you may have to use MSTSC or configure the setting in the Remote Desktop
Windows Store App manually.

Remote Desktop Connection - Resolution problem

Hi,
On my laptop i have Windows 8.1 Pro, with a resolution of 3200x1800. When i used RDP to a server that for example run windows 2008 r2, 2012 2003 etc, the resolution is very tiny. I have googled around and it seems like RDP does not support this change, even
if i change the fixed size, it changes only the window and not the connection resolution.
I have tried Remote Desktop Manager and mRemoteNG and these works ok, but what about the RDP client ?
Any FAQ from MS on this ?
Thanks for reply.
/Regards Andreas

Hi Andreas,
RDP 8.1 was made many changes. one is the addition of a new message that can be sent from the client to the server to dynamically update the resolution inside the remote session to match what is available on the client without the need to do a
complete reconnect of the session.
Thus the change is quick enough to be practically the same as a local change. If you don't want it change your resolution dynamically, make sure"let me choose one scalling level for all my display" checkbox is checked:
right click desktop, click Personalize, click display link at bottom left hand corner of the page, check "let me choose one scalling level for all my dispaly" checkbox, restart the computer to
take effect.
Don't forget set your display is "Full Screen" at the Remote Desktop Connection settings.

Windows 2008 Remote Desktop Services - Word Spell Check

We are running Windows 2008 servers on our network with remote desktop services (terminal services). We currently experiencing a challenge with Word 2010. The spell check feature is not working, when you try and run it gives an error "Microsoft Word
can't check the spelling or grammar in this document. An error occurred and this feature is no longer functioning properly." After about 5 clicks it comes up with Cannot find the proofing tools for English (Australia). It eventually it works, need to
get it to work the first time. I have searched all around but can't seem to find the answer.

I'd try them over here.

The connection was established from Windows 8.1. Any Solutions available?

What Remote Desktop options have you chosen on the client (i.e., system where you're making the connection from) when making the connection? Have you tried varying them?
For what it's worth, I seem to be able to make a remote desktop connection to my Win 10 TP 9879 test system just fine. In my case I happen to be making the connection at the same screen size (1920 x 1200 pixels) as my local console uses.
Also, how are you breaking the connection? Are you selecting "Disconnect" on the remote system, or are you just closing down the Remote Desktop application? That could make a difference.
