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?

Windows server 2012 and windows 7 direct access

I am looking for some decent documentation on how to get direct access in windows 2012 to work with windows 7
Can anyone point me the right direction?

Hi, I got success through this

http://syscomlab.blog.com/2012/09/directaccess-for-windows-server-2012-guide/ but I'm using NLS in a dedicated server (what is fine for me) but the Win7 client doesn't connect to DA (EDGE server) through internet. I'm using a LAB where WS2012 host acts
as a GATEWAY (using NAT) and for Windows 8 client is working fine but when I try using win7 clients it just doesn't work :(
Server WS 2012 RTM full patched + Win8 Enterprise RTM full patched + Win7 Enterprise RTM ful patched (including the recommended KBs for DA solution)

Windows server 2012 stops accepting simple remote desktop clients

Hi, I have a Standard Windows 2012 Standalone server as host for several Virtual machines ( f.e. AD and Exchange)because I do not use a keybord ar mouse for that server I always use simple RD to maintain that host.
Since sunday I cannot connect anymore. I checked Rd configuration, network and Client ( W7). Nothing to find why.
Se below the result of checking the host:
Windows PowerShell
Copyright (C) 2012 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
PS C:\Users\Administrator> get-ItemProperty -Path 'HKLM:\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server'-name "fDenyT
Connections"
fDenyTSConnections : 0
PSPath             : Microsoft.PowerShell.Core\Registry::HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal S
                     erver
PSParentPath       : Microsoft.PowerShell.Core\Registry::HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control
PSChildName        : Terminal Server
PSDrive            : HKLM
PSProvider         : Microsoft.PowerShell.Core\Registry
PS C:\Users\Administrator> get-ItemProperty -Path 'HKLM:\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\R
P-Tcp' -name "UserAuthentication"
UserAuthentication : 0
PSPath             : Microsoft.PowerShell.Core\Registry::HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal S
                     erver\WinStations\RDP-Tcp
PSParentPath       : Microsoft.PowerShell.Core\Registry::HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal S
                     erver\WinStations
PSChildName        : RDP-Tcp
PSDrive            : HKLM
PSProvider         : Microsoft.PowerShell.Core\Registry
PS C:\Users\Administrator> get-netfirewallrule -DisplayGroup "Remote Desktop" | format-table Name, Enabled -autosize
Name                          Enabled
RemoteDesktop-UserMode-In-TCP    True
RemoteDesktop-UserMode-In-UDP    True
So everything seems to be correct.
I do not have installed Remote desktop server/services etc. because ther is no need to.
I did not change anything on the host, no updates etc short before the problem occurred. Even not on the clients
Where to look to find the solution. On internet I could not find it, only that what I already checked.

Hi,
Thanks for your comment. Sorry for late response.
How many users you are trying to remote desktop at a time?
I am asking here because from your troubleshooting you have done all your steps but seems you are moving out for more session connection and that’s why you can’t connect.
Because by default server only provide 2 remote session at a time and that is also for administration purpose. So if you are trying to get more than 2 remote session for your server then you need to install RD Licensing server, activate the server, purchase
RDS CAL (per user or per Device) as per your requirement and then configure them. After this you can get more connection.
Please clarify and review this point 1 under this KB 2477176 article (only for reference).
Hope it helps!
Thanks.

Error in South Africa Regional Settings in Windows Server 2012 and Windows 8

Please note that the format for numbers in South Africa regional settings is incorrect. I discovered this through on of our products that would not work on Server 2012, but works from XP to Windows 7.
Where the decimal was always a point it has now been changed to a comma, which is incorrect and most likely will cause a lot of issues for customers in south africa that use decimal data.
I can already see spatial data breaking where decimals are used and stored with points and not commas.
To reproduce this error set your regional settings to South Africa and execute the following code in C#
System.Convert.ToDouble("10.1234");
This will throw a FormatException. Change regional settings from a , to a . and there we go it works.

It seems that this is development related issue, please try to submit a new post in DEV forum. Thanks.
Thanks
Zero
Respectfully Mr. Xia, it looks like the OP is reporting a localization issue, not a development issue.
For the OP, there's a
well researched post by a South African developer describing that the decimal comma is the correct choice. The work cites University style guides, International conference agreements, and government legislation and regulation.
An excerpt from Mr. MacLean's post, quoting work from EEPublishers:
English-speaking countries (plus China, India and Japan) use the decimal point. There seems to be a general tendency to formally declare its use worldwide and the International Organisation for Standardization, ISO, also tends towards using the decimal point
over the decimal comma. In view
of the South African law, however, the comma shall still be employed in South Africa as “the only recognised decimal indicator for all numbers” [3].

User Profile Disks with Windows Server 2012 and Windows 8 VDI

Hello experts!
We are building a new server setup for the office and are unable to figure out why UPD will not work. We have VDI setup and a user for instance
connecting through the RDWeb workplace will dynamically get one of the available Windows 8 Machines delivered through Hyper-V and can successfully login on this machine via Active Directory. So far so good...
However, when we activate the User Profile Disks "UPD" feature the login takes forever and the VHDX will not mount on c:\users\...
as expected within the virtual Windows 8 machine.
The UPD config is quite simple, with just the path "\\vmhost\upd\" set. This share has (now during test) full access for everyone,
both on share level and on security level, but still the VHDX will not mount.
The UVHD-template.vhdx file gets created just fine when UPD is activated, and during login through RDWeb a TEMP-UVHD-S-1-5-21-1477358240-4159876597-995667825-500.vhdx
gets created, but there it stops... The login process takes a couple of minutes by the "Windows förbereds" (roughly translated to English "Preparing Windows"), and then the user gets logged in with a temporary profile.
- The event log says (translated using Google translate):
Failed to obtain a user profile disk for the user account with SID S-1-5-21-1477358240-4159876597-995667825-500.

Server 2008 R2 with WSUS need to specify location for Feature install for Server 2012 and Windows 8

Having a problem where we need to add .net 3.5, amongst other things, in server 2012 and windows 8.1. We're using WSUS on server 2008 R2, so when I go to add roles or features, I'm not able to as it tries to use Windows Update but it's set to use WSUS.
I'm aware in server 2012 gpo's that you enable the policy 'specify settings for optional component installation and component repair' in Administrative Templates>System, however that setting is not available in Server 2008 R2.
I've downloaded the templates from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36991 but the setting is still not there.
Any suggestions on how to do this/allow feature install with Server 2008 R2?

Hi,
To upgrade the Administrative Templates, please run the downloaded msi file, then copy the needed admx files and adml files to the PolicyDefinitions folder.

It is compatible Obi 11g with Windows Server 2012 and Sql Server 2012?

Hi every
Please help with two questions.
1. - Obi 11g is supported on Windows Server 2012 and SQL Server 2012?
There a compatibility matrix which mention compatibility with versions 2012?
2. - is feasible to install Obi 11g in separate server and install weblogic on another server?
I appreciate the prompt response
Regards
Pedro

Hi Pedro,
As of November 2012 Compatibility Matrix released by Oracle for OBI 11.1.1.x Windows 2012 and SQL Server 2012 were not supported. It was supported on 2008 Windows and SQL Server.
We can have weblogic and OBI server's on 2 different machines. The approach is to opt software only install. the link below will give more details:

Hi Dave,
You need to type the server name that was assigned by your mail administrator for the server running Exchange. So please ask your administrator for the Server name. Thanks for your understanding.

On Windows Server 2012 R2 the "Show my desktop background on Start" is grayed out

Hi
As shown below, the new 8.1/2012R2 function "Show my desktop background on Start" is not available on Windows Server 2012 R2.
I have tried multiple solutions:
- Activate OS (In Win 8.1 - the feature is unavailable when Win8.1 is not activated)
- Install Desktop Experience
- Playing with the registry key "Subkey: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Accent Entry:
MotionAccentId_v1.00
But no luck. Does anyone have a solution.
The reason why I need this is, that I am building a Remote Desktop solution, and here we want to give users the same experience as from their desktops.
Looking forward to some exciting feedback.

Adobe Update Server Setup Tool on Windows Server 2012 and IIS 8 ?

can you help me install and configure my internal AUSST on the new server OS provided by Microsoft (Windows Server 2012)?
What should be the parameters required (or mandatory) in IIS 8 (ISAPI Filters, etc ...) ?
What parameters in the installation of IIS should be chosen?
What are the steps necessary to implement this new operating system?

Our enterprise also uses an authenticated proxy, so I've been banging my head to get this working!
I'm surprise to learn of this proxy oversight! This tool has "enterprise" all over the documentation (e.g. AAMEE?). There's good likelihood that other enterprises (still) have proxies in place. Makes me wonder if the CreativeCloud architects had this same proxy-ignorant oversite?
@Abhishek
Can you pass this request onto Jody Rogers or Karl Gibson (or whomever "owns" Adobe Enterprise Deployment products)?
I can pass the following curl switches and get out of our authenticated proxy; why can't you make AdobeUpdateServerSetupTool2.0 honor these curl options?
[Note: this example assumes Mac OS X or other Unix-y OSes]
curl --proxy myproxy.domain.com:port --proxy-user ADserviceAccount http://swupmf.adobe.com/webfeed/oobe/aam10/win/updaterfeed.xml
BTW: why does "mac" in xml feed return so much more info?

Deploying Windows Server 2012 and Exchange Server 2013

Hi All,
Our Clinet is planning to implement Exchange Server 2013 as an email solution. There is no Active Directory Domain exists in the environment. So, we have planned to configure a Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard as a Domain Controller and Exchange
Server 2013 Standard would be installed on another Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard.
The setup would be for 250 users. Please guide me about the Cost of OS + Exchnage and CAL for 250 Users.
Warm Regards,
Prosenjit Sen
Thanks & Regards, Prosenjit Sen.

Another option would be to consider signing up for Office 365 instead of setting up the hardware and software for such a small number of users. It will take a long time for the cost of the hardware, maintenance, and support to be less costly than Office
365, if it would ever be less expensive. There is a lot of maintenance required for Exchange, so unless your client already has someone experienced in configuring and maintaining Exchange, there is a lot of expense in bringing someone up to speed to
perform those functions capably.
Just a suggestion. I do not work for Microsoft and I have no financial incentive to propose an Office 365 environment. I just know that if I were running my own business, I would have to be convinced that my business required its own internal
mail system when there are so many fully functional and capable mail systems available via subscription.

Can 1 instance of Windows 8.1 ENTERPRISE host multiple Remote Desktop connections?

I am shopping for the components for building a machine with fair, high-performance hardware. I have Windows 8.1 Professional. I wanted to know if either Windows 8.1 Professional or Windows 8.1 Enterprise can support multiple remote connections
from users outside the local network. For example, my brother is based in San Diego, CA and has an underpowered laptop. Is there any way to make a remote connection over that much distance, from San Diego to Northern Virginia, from a RDP client running Windows
8.1 Professional to a RDP "server" Windows 8.1 Professional/Enterprise machine, and run a modern, single- or multiplayer- game over smoothly that connection? At the very least, is it possible to run common
apps (e.g. Microsoft Office 2013 IE 11, Adobe Acrobat XI) smoothly on a Windows 8.1 Pro RDP client connected to a Windows 8.1 RDP "server" located 2250+ miles away?
Would upgrading my installation from Professional to Enterprise improve the responsiveness and display quality for my remote users?
I know Windows Server R2 2012 has features specific for handling remote connections, but I am trying to keep a Windows 8.1 user experience. Still, if anyone can show some evidence that Windows Server 2012 R2 Remote Desktop Services (RDS) improves display
and responsiveness over long-distances for remote (RDS) connections, then I will shop for Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard instead. The huge drawback of Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard CALs is the enormous cost to enable 3-5
remote connections for family, non-commercial use.
Has anyone attempted to host long-distance remote access, non-commercially, for 3-5 connections? Has it worked well? What, in general, is required?
T. Webster

Hi,
It depends on the quality of the network connection to run the software smoothly throuth RDP. And I don't think the quality would be better if you upgrade to Windows 8.1 Enterprise.
Windows 8.1 allow only one session of RDP, the Remote Desktop Server in Windows other than the Windows Server edition has a limitation to allow only one concurrent user per session by default, i.e. if someone remotely connects to the computer over RDP then
whoever was logged in at that moment will be automatically logged off, even if that user is physically present at the computer. This is by design.
Regarding more information about RDP, please take a look at the following articles:
