Windows Server 2012R2 RDS sound and smartcard redirection issues

We are using RDS collection with two Windows Server 2012R2 session hosts. Both hosts are virtual servers (clean installation) and are used as session hosts (terminals) with 10 to 25 users each. RDS Connection Broker is also virtual machine with
Windows Server 2012 R2. Our users are using Windows 7 Embedded thin clients with MSTSC RDP 8.0.
Our terminals are running correctly after fresh boot, but in 12 to 48 hours after boot we encounter problem with sound and smardcards redirection in RDP. Remote sound stops working and users cannot login with their smardcards.
Relogging users doesnt help, deleting profiles doesnt help, restarting sound service doesnt help, only viable way to solve issue is server restart. There is not any event in event log about this issue.

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Sound Redirection:
Please check the following GP setting as well.
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Device and Resource Redirection
Limit audio playback quality: Enabled
Audio Quality: High
On the Client PC, in the .rdp file that you use to connect to the server, make sure you have the following line:
audioqualitymode:i:2
In addition check that the Windows Audio and Windows Audio Endpoint Builder services must be running for audio to work.
Smartcard redirection:
Kindly try to update the patch for Smartcard redirection and check the result.
Smart card redirection in remote sessions fails in a Windows 7 SP1-based RDP 8.1 client

How to Migrate windows 2008r2 RDS server to Windows server 2012r2 RDS

Hi, I want to migrate our 2008r2 RD server + Cals to windows server 2012r2 server, the user will still connect to 2008r2 server but the server hosting the license will be migrated to a 2012r2 server. Currently I have 2 servers that users can connect
to that are served by the 2008r2 RDS (the server I'm converting is just hosting the license) the server user connect to point to this license server. How do I proceed to migrate, I'm searching for documentation but I can't find much, I found that I can only
convert to 2012r2 from 2012 or better OS, so I installing a temporary 2012 server to do a double migration seem to be the best course of action but I can't find any documentation on how to Migrate the Remote Desktop Services Role Services from 2008r2 to Windows
Server 2012.
Also I just discovered that this server is also hosting license for windows server 2003 terminal service. Will I be able to host these licences on 2012R2 ?
Any pointer would be appreciated.

Hi,
It seems like migration the Remote Desktop Services Role Services from 2008r2 to Windows Server 2012 is not supported.
http://technet.microsoft.com/library/dn479239.aspx
So i think you may install and configure the RDS server on Windows Server 2012 and then migration to Windows Server 2012r2.
Hope this helps.

Office 2013 document with Czech spell check lags by save and close on Windows Server 2012R2 RDS session host

On our Win Srv 2012R2 RDS session host server (terminal server) I have bad problem. Office 2013 documents with Czech spell checking lags (1-2 min) when I close and save document. When I change spell checking on English everything works OK. On Windows 8.1

Hi,
As the log, MSGR2CZ.DLL and wwlib.dll were both of the Microsoft libraries,not the third-party libraries. Thus, we need to analysis what happened with the dump file. But, it is beyond what we can do in the forum. I recommend you open a ticket with Microsoft
engineer.

We're running Windows server 2003 32bit and want to migrate to Windows server 2012R2 64bit, can someone provide a step by step procedure on how to migrate instances on ADAM to AD LDS?

I have no experience in dealing with servers, but my senior has asked me to investigate on how to migrate instances on ADAM (windows server 2003 32bit) to AD LDS (Windows server 2012R2 64 bit) as in place upgrade is not an option as we're running a 32bit
Server and want to migrate to a 64bit Server. can someone please give me a Walkthrough on how to do this.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
it'd be of great help if you could give me a step by step process of replication.
There is no step-by-step article/guide of replication process, replication between AD LDS instances of the same configuration set is an automatic process.
All we need to make sure is to create a replica of the existing instance, and there is no network/security obstacle preventing the replication.
Please note that we need to install AD LDS from Server manager on Windows Server 2012 and 2012 R2.
More information for you:

DFRS on sysvol with windows server 2008r2 and windows server 2012r2

I currently have windows server 2008 r2 domain with forest and domain at 2008r2 full functional level.
The domain was originally 2003 full functional level.
I want to promote a windows server 2012 r2 system to a domain controller.
While doing some prep work I found that the sysvol relication has not been migrated to DFSR and is using FRS.
Will I need to migrate to DFSR before promoting the 2012 r2 DC or can that wait?
Thanks.

Hi,
To install active directory in Windows Server 2012 R2 you must just be sure that the domain functional level and forest functional level is 2003 or higher. you don't need to migrate Sysvol system replication to DFSR.
When you install the first domain controller in Windows Server 2008 or higher and choose the domain functional level 2008 or higher, the replication system used by Sysvol will be DFSR automatically.
On the other side, if you domain functional level was 2003, to apply DFSR for Sysvol replication you must raise the domain functional to 2008 or higher, and launch dfsrmig
to complete the migration t get more details look at the link below:

Windows Server 2012r2 Essentials - Dashboard - Server Folder and Hard Drives Not Showing..

Hi,
Following the last series of Windows updates, I'm experiencing problems with our WS2012R2 Essentials server. When opening the Dashboard, the 'home:getting started' tab shows all correct except 'server folders n/a'. On checking the Storage tab, the normal
display for 'server folders' and 'hard drives' just shows 'refreshing list of items'.
Despite symptoms above, Storage Space and Server Folders show correctly in server Windows Explorer and are available to client computers across the LAN. It just appears that for some reason the Dashboard cannot see them.
One other related symptom I've noted is that for some reason the 'wsestoragesvc' Windows Server Essentials Storage Service no longer starts automatically. Even when started manually Dashboard symptoms remain - server folders and hard drives aren't visible
on dashboard.
I've run sfc /scannow to check for problems - all clear and run chkdsk on the system volume.
Would welcome ideas on what steps to be taken to fix problem. Many thanks..

Hi,
The issue could be due to a custom service knocks on effect on the Windows Server Essentials Storage Service and causes the service no longer starts automatically.
You could refer to the thread below to troubleshoot the issue:
WHS 2011 Dashboard shows no users or drives

If the issue still exists, try to reinstall the Windows Server Essentials.

Server 2012R2- RDS Farm Certificate Miss-Match on Session Hosts

Hi Guys,
I've another RDS2012R2 issue. Internal and external domains do not match. External: domain.com.au; Internal: domain.com.net.
I'm getting certificate miss-match errors when connecting to the Farm/RemoteApps.
I have performed the follow fixes:
Change published FQDN for Server 2012 or 2012 R2 RDS Deployment (http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/Change-published-FQDN-for-2a029b80). This resolved the original issue where I was getting a certificate miss-match error externally
for the FQDN of the server.
Updated the RDP-Tcp certificate used on the Session Host Servers. This was to resolve an issue where using mstsc to RDP to the farm externally(via gateway) would give a Certificate is not trusted error on the RDSH side.
Now whenever RDWeb is used to launch a RemoteApp or the farm, I get a certificate miss match error as the RDSH server is called RDS1-TCC.domain.com.net and the certificate is for remote.domain.com.au.
I rolled back the last change so that RemoteApps and the Farm would work successfully internally without certificate issues. How do I go about resolving the certificate errors?
For extra background details see my orignal thread, It was marked as answered when only 1 out of 2 issues was resolved. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/b664ddaf-6c11-49e2-8a69-0df3b8ef13a1/server-2012r2-rds-farm-with-xp-and-windows-vista-clients?forum=winserverTS
Cheers,
Ben

Hi Ben,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
In your case, I can suggest you to check that the certificate must match the FQDN of the server. If you are creating SSL certificate then it must be signed by trusted authority and also the certificate must be stored under “local computer/personal store“.
Also you can buy the certificate from 3rd party which is wild card certificate and only 1 certificate can be used for your network. Please check below links for more information regarding certificate issue.
1. Certificate Requirements for Windows 2008 R2 and Windows 2012 Remote Desktop Services
2. Configuring RDS 2012 Certificates and SSO
3. Windows 2012 RDS Certificate mismatch
Hope it helps!

Windows Server 2012R2 - svchost.exe 60-100% load!

We are using RDS collection with two Windows Server 2012R2 session hosts. Both hosts are virtual servers (clean installation) and are used as session hosts (terminals) with 10 to 25 users each. RDS Connection Broker is also virtual machine with Windows
Server 2012 R2. Our users are using Windows 7 Embedded thin clients with MSTSC RDP 8.0.
There is problem with high cpu load on these servers. Sometimes Svchost.exe starts to cause 60-100% load. Our virtual machines have 10 virtual processor cores. Load is caused by LSM (Local Session Manager) Service from DCOM Launcher group. Svchost
creates many thread as you can see on picture attached. Sometimes this load disappears after 12-24 hours, sometimes it needs restarting whole server.
We still cannot find cause of this problem, although we managed to reproduce this issue one time by logging two admin accounts to server console and force disconnecting one of these accounts by third admin account connecting to server console by RDP
mstsc.exe with -admin parameter.
Our users are very unsatisfied :-(
This is screenshot of Process Explorer - svchost.exe - Threads:

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Do you have any recent updates, might happens due to automatic updates which also can cause high cpu through svchost.exe. Please check as suggested by “Larry” by turning off Windows update service. In addition go through beneath articles for more information.
1. Automatic Update causes SVCHOST.exe high CPU
2. Getting Started with SVCHOST.EXE Troubleshooting

Windows Server 2012 RDS CALS on Windows Server 2008 R2 Licensing Server

Hi,
at the moment we are installing the first couple of Windows Server 2012 in our infrastructure.
Some of them have installed RDS.
Now we are wondering whether it is possible to use our existing Windows Server 2008 R2 licensing server for serving the licenses we have (yes we to have new Windows Server 2012 RDS CALS) or whether we have to install a new host based on Windows Server 2012.
We tried to add the new license to the 2008 R2 licensing server, but it is not possible. The licensing manager's error message: "The license code contains invalid characters or not enough characters."
Is there any other way?
Thanks and regards
Matthias

Hi matt_will_fix_it,
How about Windows 2012 R2 ?
Will a Windows 2012 RD Licensing server provide licences to a Windows 2012 R2 server?
I have not tested it, but it should work. Server 2012 R2 requires the same RDS CAL version as Server 2012. If you try it and have an issue please reply back.

Can't create ODBC connection in Windows Server 2012R2

I just finished installing the instant client & odbc connection on Windows Server 2008R2. I then attempted to perform the same installation on a new Windows Server 2012R2 instance and encountered the following issue.
After extracting the contents of the 64bit instant client & odbc files into c:\oracle\instantclient_12_1, adding this to the path statement, and adding a TNS_ADMIN environmental variable, I successfully ran odbc_install.exe from an admin cmd window. I then opened the 64bit ODBC Data Source Administrator, clicked add, selected the Oracle in instantclient_12_1, and clicked finish. As soon as I did so, I received the following error: "The setup routines for the Oracle in instantclient_12_1 ODBC driver could not be loaded due to system error code 126: The specified module could not be found. (c:\oracle\instantclient_12_1\SQORAS32.dll)"
I uninstalled the odbc client (odbc_uninstall.exe) and attempted again with the 32bit version & 32bit odbc configuration screen. I get the exact same result with 32bit as I do with 64bit.
Any help would be appreciated.
EDIT: Nevermind. Apparently I needed the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable Package for the correct DLLs

Hi,
I am running Netweaver 7 and ERP2005.
J2EE support pack is 9. The sap note that you mentioned is for NW2004 and our system is running on NW2004s.
Now I am trying to reconfigure the sld. In case if you can suggest me another solution, I will be very happy to try that out...

Hi Gopi,
Are you trying to add the hosts to your OEM 12c, and then choosing "Deploy Agent"?
Please check this error message about the image file..
The image file C:\oracle\core\12.1.0.2.0\jdk\bin\java.exe is valid, but is for a
machine type other than the current machine.
"Validating OMS_HOST & EM_UPLOAD_PORT failed."
If the agents are deployed earlier from another OEM12c server, please undeploy them and then try.
Thanks,
Rajiv.

Windows Server 2012R2 Failover Cluster error with mounted volumes

Hi all,
I've a problem with mounted volume on a WSFC build on top of Windows Server 2012R2, the situation is:
M: is the volume hosting mounting points
disk-1, disk-2, disk-3 are volume mounted on M:\SomeFolder
Theese volumes are used by a SQL Server Failover Cluster Instance, but my problem is related to WSFC. I've set dependencies so disk-1, disk-2, disk-3 depend upon H:
If I try a failover of the role "SQL Server" I observe that when the disk come online in the other node they fail with this error:
Cluster resource 'disk-1' of type 'Physical Disk' in clustered role 'SQL Server (ISQL2014A)' failed. The error code was '0xaa' ('The requested resource is in use.').
Based on the failure policies for the resource and role, the cluster service may try to bring the resource online on this node or move the group to another node of the cluster and then restart it. Check the resource and group state using Failover Cluster
Manager or the Get-ClusterResource Windows PowerShell cmdlet.
If I manually take offline H: and than bring it online and then manually take online all disk (1 to 3) they come online with no error.
I'm going crazy!

I've found the root of the problem: the servers are virtual machine on a VMware ESX 5.5 infrastructure, VMware claims that on 5.5 multipath is supported for raw device mapping disks but disabling multipath (I've set to fixed path) the Windows Server Failover
Cluster stops to get problems.
Now we have opened a support call with VMware.

Some Word Files will not open on Windows Server 2012R2

I have identical versions of Word 2010 on two different computers. One is Windows 7, and one is Windows Server 2012R2. The Win 7 is my primary writing machine but sometimes I need to open a Word file on the other machine.
Some of the files open fine on Windows2012 machine, but some give me an error:
"Word experienced an error trying to open the file." It then makes some suggestions for things to try, including Repair as I am opening the file, but none of these suggestions work. I keep getting the same error.
I cannot see what is different between the files that open fine and the files that give this error.
They all open fine on the Windows 7 machine.
I have tried do a full Repair on Microsoft Office and then rebooting.
The normal way of sharing the files is to copy from Windows 7 to a cloud location and then downloading on the Windows 2012 machine. But I have also tried emailing the file to myself from Windows 7 and opening the email on Windows 2102. I get the same problem.
What else can I try?
Thanks
