Windows RDS - configuring a default connection & desktop

I'm looking at remote desktop options and used terminal services in the past.  I'm configuring remote desktop services on a Windows 2008 R2 server.  The goal is
to allow users to go to a web page, pull up a remote desktop and access apps & server shares inside the network.
I have it installed, and am able to get a connection using \\server\rdweb.  However, that takes me to the RDS default connection page. If I click on remote desktop it asks what computer I want to connect
to.
What I want to do is configure this or another web page to automatically connect to a default profile I've configured with various apps, or to create a new profile based on the user's login name like any PC
does when you login with a new user ID.
I'm sure it's in the documentation somewhere, I haven't run across it yet.

Hi,
Thanks for your posting in Windows Server Forum.
As per your comment, I can say that you can try to change the login web page of RD web where you can place the default domain and user name for that user. 
You can make changes on login.aspx file on “%windir%\Web\RDWeb\Pages\<The Language of Your Location>\”path as below:
Change the original code section:
<input id=”DomainUserName” name=”DomainUserName” type=”text” class=”textInputField” runat=”server” size=”25” autocomplete=”off” />
to be:
<input id=”DomainUserName” name=”DomainUserName” type=”text” class=”textInputField” runat=”server” size=”25” autocomplete=”off”
value=”domainname\” />
Please refer below thread for more information.

Hope it helps!

  • RemoteApp and Desktop Connection - Default Connection URL - Windows Server 2012 R2

    Hi,
    I'm building an Remote Desktop envoirement for our organisation wich includes the following servers:
    2 Domain controllers with Remote Desktop Gateway, Licensing and Broker (1 broker functional, no HA, still in progress of building), RDWeb installed.
    2 Remote Desktop Host Servers for the user logins (no applications just the desktop).
    2 Remote Desktop Application Servers (RemoteApp) with all of our applications installed.
    2 File Servers using DFS replication.
    All of those servers are Windows 2012 r2.
    Our purpose is to deploy RemoteApp's to the Remote Desktop Host servers using the GPO Default Connection URL.
    The problem is that it won't apply to the users who log on to the Remote Desktop Host servers. I'm struggling with this issue for a while now and tried different possible solutions. Such as the delegation credential GPO, making the users local admin, making
    the users domain admin etc etc.
    My guess is that the GPO hangs on the fact that when i try to manually run the wizard to connect to the RemoteApp and Desktop connections, my credentials are asked. Which i think is odd because i'm already logged in as an domain user. I'm having the exact same
    problem with the domain administrator account.
    When i'm connecting manually by entering the credentials in the connection wizard everything is working as it should, it just won't connect automatically
    Does someone has an solution for this?
    Kind Regards,
    Geoffrey van Meurs

    so am I correct to assume that your issue is really with RemoteApps single sign-on (SSO)?
    You have users which RDP to RDSH and again you're attempting to publish RemoteApps in that same environment?
    I haven't done SSO but there is a lot of info about it on the web:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/ed4447b5-2958-404b-883c-9aefa038ad61/single-sign-on-remoteapp-and-desktop-connection?forum=winserverTS
    Secondly, you may need to look at your GPO loopback settings to ensure the policies are being properly applied.  Use RSOP as well.  Try using a local GPO to see if it makes a difference with a non-admin test user.  Check event logs for GPO
    processing errors/conflicts.  Use gpresults, etc.
    Something else worth noting here is that RemoteApp publishing is really not meant to be done inside RDSH, it's usually done on the user's workstation, therefore eliminating the need for them to even login to RDSH, reducing the number of hops and complexity. 
    For what you're doing, you're better off using RDWeb to publish the applications to them or using the old school method of just having app. shortcuts on the Desktop/Start menu in RDSH since they're already getting a published desktop anyway.  Or just
    use RemoteApps on their workstations via GPO.  Just some thought if I'm understanding your goals here, but it sounds like you would need to read up on RemoteApp SSO.

    App-V:  A Configuration Template for Deploying to Stateless RDS Clients on Citrix Published Desktops with Citrix UPM for Profile Management
    Just posted this to the wiki:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/25318.app-v-a-configuration-template-for-deploying-to-stateless-rds-clients-on-citrix-published-desktops-with-citrix-upm-for-profile-management.aspx

    I would not recommend this and keep the package cache and the client on the same non-persistent drive and enable the Shared Content Store. If you separate the cache and the App-V client they could get out of sync and strange behaviour can occur. 
    You can use a temporary local profile with Citrix UPM or UE-V and specify what to roam/save.
    You can use the Shared Content Store so packages will stream over the network. When the user logs on there is a publishing phase where shortcuts etc are created for the user, this will take some time.
    Are you using the App-V full infrastructure?
    Are you using a boot disk, partition or PXE in combination with PVS?

    Yes, "admin" and password "****" are an example about a user created in AD1 with rights enough to create and search objects in AD.
    But I thing the problem is not the user. Could it be the password encryption?

  • Easy print not working on a 64 bit Windows 8.1 client with Remote Desktop connection version 8.1

    Easy print is not working on a 64 bit Windows 8.1 client with Remote Desktop connection version 8.1 . Printers dont get redirected when you connect to the terminal server. The server we are connecting to has Windows 2008 server.  On 32 bit Windows
    7 and windows XP clients Easy print is working fine and printers get redirected in terminal server.

    I am having the exact same problem. Windows 7 works fine, but 8.1 will not redirect printers. Others said to check local policy terminal services settings and my setting are all set as they should.
    I think Windows 8.1 is not telling the terminal server what printers it has.

  • How to deploy connection (Mac OS X Yosemite to Windows RDS) through the RD Gateway with Two Factor authentication (Safenet OTP) on Session host?

    Good day!
    Could you please help me? How to deploy connection (Mac OS X Yosemite to Windows RDS) through the RD Gateway with Two Factor authentication on Session host? How to open an authentication dialog that is the same as in Windows when logging on to network resources
    in Windows (Windows Security)?
    Our test environment: We have one RDS 2012 R2 server (all roles in one) and one session host in collection. On the session host installed Safenet Network Logon and it under GPO which disable all authentication, only OTP.

    Hi Sir,
    It seems that you are going to integrate 3rd party product into AD for authentication .
    I would suggest you to contact the vendor of Safenet for this deployment  scenario  :

  • Always have use windows to configure wireless connection

    after using the one button setup on my router, I now have to go to the advanced settings to use windows to configure wireless settings. Every time I reboot the computer I have to recheck the box in advance settings.

    the advantage in using the built-in utility is that you dont need to worry everytime you reboot your pc...the problem in using your xp utility is that just like in your case you always need to restart wzc configure on your pc which is very inconvient for any user...make sure that built-in utility is configured properly...

  • Running RDS on Server 2008r2 - connection drops suddenly and completely

    We have about 50 RDS servers running on Windows 2008r2.  These are all virtual machines running within VMWare ESXi 5.5. Some are configured in a farm and others are "stand-alone".  All are in a single domain environment and we have no
    issues logging in and working.  BUT, at random times, users will "lose" their sessions.  Not the normal "session has disconnected, we will try to connect x number of times" that you see if there is a connectivity problem. 
    When the connection/session is "lost" the RDP client just closes immediately.  Clients PCs are running on a mix of XP and Windows 7.  Does not seem to be any rhyme or reason on which machines or users this happens to.  Have found nothing
    relative in the server or client logs.  It's not a keep-alive issue, you can be actively typing when this occurs.  Some times we can go for a day or two with no disconnects and sometimes some users will be disconnected 8-10 times a day.  
    This seems to happen at random - one user may be disconnected one time and everyone else is fine.  The next time it may be 10 sessions.  Haven't been able to tie it to a single farm, group of servers, group of users, time of day, or group of PCs. 
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    After referring to your comment, it seems that your user may be limited in number of users who connect simultaneously to RD session. Limited number of RDP connections can be due to misconfigured Group Policy or RDP-Tcp properties in Remote Desktop Services
    Configuration, by default, the connection is configured to allow an unlimited number of sessions to connect to the server.
    You can verify “Limit number of connections" Gpo Policy by below mention path.
    Local Computer Policy > Computer Configuration>Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Remote Desktop Services> Remote Desktop Session Host> Connections "Limit number of connections"
    You can also verify under RDP-Tcp properties. For more information you can refer below article for further troubleshooting.
    Remote Desktop disconnected or can’t connect to remote computer or to Remote Desktop server (Terminal Server) that is running Windows Server 2008 R2

  • Cannot connect desktop (wired) & laptop (wireless)

    I've been at this for days, scoured much info and many threads, and tried many things; so I could go on and on for days about all I've found and tried.  I'll try to be concise, but I also want to be thorough.  Every other forum I’ve posted in has asked the same questions, so I’m just going to try to get it all out there right off the bat.  I apologize if I come off as curt.  I’m usually good for some laughs, but I’ve been at this for way too long and am feeling pretty deflated.
    GOAL:  Achieve connectivity between my desktop and my new T520 - be able to swap files without fumbling thumb drives or emailing myself.
    SYSTEM SPECS:
       Desktop
    self built: AMD Phenom II X4 3.4GHz
    Mobo: Gibabyte GA-890GPA-UD3H
    network adapter:  Realtek RTL8168D/8111D
    running Windows 7 Professional
       Laptop
    Lenovo T520
    network adapter:  Intel Centrino Advanced N 6205
    running Windows 7 Home Premium
       Router
    Belking F5D8231-4  version 3000
    SUMMARY OF EFFORTS THUS FAR:
    Firewalls:  Windows & router disabled
    Anti-virus:  (AVG) disabled, then uninstalled
    Network adaptor drivers: updated
    Router firmware: updated
    Router has been restored to factory settings
    Power cycles performed multiple times at various points
    Tried static ip addresses (presently set to dynamic) - shared ip addresses not the cause
    Sharing options have been enabled both in general network settings and specific folders
    Pinging results in either "Request timed out."  or  "Destination host unreachable."
    My network is designated a "Home network"
    Neither machine is connected to multiple networks
    Both machines are assigned to same Workgroup: tried changing from generic "WORKGROUP" to custom name to isolate my machines from rommie's
    Relevant services I've been told to check and confirmed started:
                             - DHCP Client
                             - Computer Browser
                             - Network Location Awareness
                             - Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
                             - Server
                             - TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper
                             - Workstation
                             - Peer Networking Grouping
                             - PNRP Machine Name Publication Service
    Under Local Area Network Status I've noticed that IPv4 shows connectivity to internet, but IPv6 says "No Internet Access" - disabling IPv6 has no effect
    When I create a Windows Homegroup on one machine, an invite to join is never extended to the other.
    I installed TeamViewer as alternative to Homegroup.  After setup, the program claims to have a working connection, but any attempt to access the other gives an error.
    Now, the name of my laptop will sometimes appear under Explorer>>Network, but clicking on it gives an error message (can't think what it says & the laptop isn't visible right now); while my laptop has never shown my desktop.  However, if I hardline my laptop to the router, suddenly the two are best friends - connecting, accessing folders, swapping files, trading recipes, sharing steamy cups of Maxwellhouse International Cafe.
    Does anybody have any insights into this situation?  Any suggestions would be appreciated.  I’ve wondered if perhaps there was some pre-installed Lenovo software that interferes with networks the way firewalls or anti-virus programs can?  I've tried calling both Belkin and Lenovo tech support - played their little choose your own adventure games.  Belkin's final word is that its a software issue.  I'm at a complete loss.
    I'm always asked for ipconfig and ping results at some point, so I'll go ahead and post them below.  I've also found some errors in Administrative Events on both machines that may provide clues:
    Dhcp-Client (both)   -   The IP address lease 192.168.2.2 for the Network Card with network address 0x6CF049E337F0 has been denied by the DHCP server 192.168.2.1 (The DHCP Server sent a DHCPNACK message).
    bowser (desktop)   -   The master browser has received a server announcement from the computer GLADOS that believes that it is the master browser for the domain on transport NetBT_Tcpip_{4F23028C-E9A3-47B6-94A5-025192E2DBE0}. The master browser is stopping or an election is being forced.
    BROWSER (laptop)   -   The browser service has failed to retrieve the backup list too many times on transport ....  The backup browser is stopping
    I don't really know much about Windows services and events, but they sound like they could be related, and they're the only lead I have to work right now.

    Just throwing this out there: I had a cash register which bafflingly refused to talk to other systems on the network, except for just a few minutes after it booted. The problem was cured by unchecking "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" in the Power Management tab of the Realtek ethernet card Device Manager Properties.
    I don't work for Lenovo. I'm a crazy volunteer!

  • 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.

  • Cannot get Windows 7 x64 laptop to connect to AIRONET 1140 WAP

    I recently changed the configuration of my Aironet 1140 from WEP to WAP2-Enterprise to make it more secure. I am using the WAP as the radius server. After making the change I connected my Blackberry to the wap as well as a Samsung Chromebook.  However when I tried to connect my HP laptop it is unable to connect. Watching from the Aironet's console I see that it is processing the association and windows ask me to enter my uid and password. When I do this I get an authentication error. I have tried several times adjusting parameters on windows but it always fails. Here is the configuration of the WAP:
