I have Win 2008 R2 RDS server that is handing out multiple CALs to the same machine.
These machines are not cloned and I have verified that the Hardware IDs are the same.
LicenseIDIssuedToMachineHWID
121HOHEJ70002bf1cd0328331154d079a4e5b01f8ac83
123HOHEJ7 0002bf1cd0328331154d079a4e5b01f8ac83
The HOHEJ7 machine doesn't exist on my domain but it has been issued 30 + licences.
There was a PC named HOHEJ7 at one point, no longer exists though.
How can I clear these out, I can only revoke so many?
Hi there,
A customer has removed a virtual machine out from the VDI Collection. The VM is still available on Hyper-V. For some reason I'm not able to re-add the VM back to the pool. I tried PoSh with the following command:
Add-RDVirtualDesktopToCollection -CollectionName "Name" -VirtualDesktopName "V10015" -ConnectionBroker "Broker FQDN"
The output is:
Add-RDVirtualDesktopToCollection : Cannot add an existing virtual desktop to a managed virtual desktop collection. Instead, specify how many virtual desktops to add for each server by using the VirtualDesktopAllocation parameter.
Does anyoune have a short feedback on that?
Cheers,
Al
Hi Team
Whether we can install the same RDS license key in two jump servers? Please I request you team to have valuable answers.
I have a single Server 2012 R2 running RDS. RD Clients can connect and work. This is a clean install and has been running for about 1 month.
However I have experienced the following error 2 days in a row and found the following in the Microsoft-Windows-TerminalServices-SessionBroker Logs with event id 2056, which occurs each time just before the service hangs:
The Remote Desktop Connection Broker server could not enumerate the targets for the provider named NULL from the database.When this happens ALL remote sessions hang and eventually disconnect. All works again after restarting the server.
The server is in the connection broker list.
Anyone know why this is happening and how to fix it?
Hi,
We have setup a brand new Remote Desktop Services farm with 10 Session Hosts for 200 users.
Now we see the Task 'Optimize Start Menu Cache Files xxx(SID)' for about 200 times on every Session Host server.
These can be deleted but they return whenever a user logs onto a specific Session Host server.
How can this be prevented?
This has been addressed in another thread (http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_8-performance/how-do-i-permanently-delete-this-task-scheduler/0fd8f7a0-c182-45c1-ad42-f02d768cb295), but the solution there would be to stop the Tasks individually of stop the Task Scheduler. Both are obviously not what I, or anyone else, want.

Hello,
I'm trying to write a simple rdp client. I cut rdp file to the minimum number of parameters that are necessary to run the application in our environment with "seamless" application mode. Content can be divided into two parts: the connection to the TS infrastructure and the application's startup:
rdp.Server = "connectionbroker.domain.local"; rdp.UserName = "mjakubowski"; rdp.Domain = "domain"; rdp.AdvancedSettings8.ClearTextPassword = txtPassword.Text; rdp.SecuredSettings3.StartProgram = "calc"; rdp.TransportSettings3.GatewayUsageMethod = 1; rdp.TransportSettings3.GatewayCredsSource = 0; rdp.TransportSettings3.GatewayProfileUsageMethod = 1; rdp.TransportSettings3.GatewayHostname = "gateway.domain.local"; rdp.AdvancedSettings8.LoadBalanceInfo = "tsv://MS Terminal Services Plugin.1.SOS"; rdp.Connect();
rdp.Server = "rdsh.domain.local"; rdp.UserName = "login"; rdp.Domain = "domain"; rdp.AdvancedSettings8.ClearTextPassword = txtPassword.Text; rdp.SecuredSettings3.StartProgram = "calc"; rdp.Connect();
.. and give user permission to interactive login - i have bare remote application in my rdp client's window.
My problem - how to get AxMsRdpClient8 to connect to the connection broker (treat server like a TS connection broker, rather than RDSH server - similar to "use redirection server name" in .rdp file)?
Hello
I have an intermittent problem with RDP connection to a Windows 2012 R2 server.
when I connect to a server1 host name via RDP client executed on Windows 7 Ent, not always I'm able to connect to this server.
I have to connect to server1 passing via RDP executed on server2, then from my client I'm able to connect directly to server1.
both server1 and server2 have one NIC, one IP address for each, on the same VLAN.
I'm able to ping server1 or server2 always.
the same behavior happen from other PC on the network, be Win7 or Win2012 or other.
the workaround used is shutdown the server, wait one minute, than restart it. now it is possible to connect in RDP from any PC without passing before from server2. It works until next reboot.
server2 was created as clone of server1 (and then sysprepped). Server1 and server 2 are joined a domain.
Anyone have an idea on why of this behavior and how to fix it ?
Thanks in advance

I want to create a template/clone from a RDSH server which is already part of a farm. However I find that the cloned server's rename/sysprep causes temporary profiles to be created for each and every subsequent logon. I suspect this is caused by using UserProfileDisks and ACL/SID permissions issues on the UPD share?
So I need to introduce a step which removes the RDS UPD settings for the new cloned server, however at this stage it's NOT strictly part of an RDS deployment, and has no network connectivity and so it's orphaned.
How can UPDs be disabled without RDS Server Management functionality? Powershell?
Set-RDSessionCollectionConfiguration -DisableUserProfileDisk
??
Update - this fails with: A remote desktop services deployment doesn't exist on <new server name>...
Is there must be a way to revert UPDs back to traditional logon profiles?
Thanks

I have 2 servers (2008 r2 standard)
1 server runs my main application and the 2nd server shadows the first server and takes over when the first server fails
My users log in to the active server using remote desktop
I intend to purchase 10 per deviceCAL's for each server
However do I then have to run the remote desktop licence server on both servers?
Hi
After installing Windows Updates in August 2015 on to our Windows 2012R2 Remote Desktop Server, we are no longer able to install or uninstall programs. This was first noted when further Windows updates were available but would not install. The issue is also effecting other applications such as Java.
The following entry appears in the Event Viewer:
The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2203. The arguments are C:\Windowa\Installer\inprogressinfo.ipi, -2147287035
Has anyone else come across this and does anyone know the solution?
Like the subject says, RDS 2012 R2 using UPD. Our current environment:
Users on remoteapp get a temp profile and domain administrator gets temp profile on both session hosts. I have followed the advice to delete .bak entries in registry. I have edited the WID to remove the orphaned session host server.
Event id 1515
windows has backed up this user profile. windows will automatically try to use this profile the next time the user logs in.
AND
event id 1511
windows v=cannot find the local profile and is loggin you in with a temp profile......
What to do to fix this once for all?
I realize that there is a similar thread in the forums about this already, but I have tried recreating the collections as suggested in that thread and it didn't solve the issue, so I'm asking the question again. I had one of my connection brokers crash today and since that time, all of my collections are showing an unknown status:
I am able to interact with the collections through PowerShell and the desktops appear to be functioning correctly, insomuch as users can connect to them without issue. However, they aren't listed under the Collections node in Server Manager and I can't manage them from Server Manager. This is a production system so I can do anything too crazy to test or fix it without some planning, but I was hoping that someone has experienced this issue (apart from the person in the aforementioned thread) and has a good solution for me.
My environment is Windows 2012 R2.
I wonder if you can help us out, we have multiple Windows 2008 servers running as Terminal Servers that clients connect to and print using Easy Print, every now and again the printers all disappear and the only way to get it back working is to reboot the server. The only event logs that are listed are:
A timeout (60000 milliseconds) was reached while waiting for a transaction response from the UmRdpService service.
A timeout (60000 milliseconds) was reached while waiting for a transaction response from the UxSms service.
A timeout (60000 milliseconds) was reached while waiting for a transaction response from the AudioEndpointBuilder service.
A timeout (60000 milliseconds) was reached while waiting for a transaction response from the Netman service.
Then EventID 6161:
The document %document%, owned by %user%, failed to print on printer Preview. Try to print the document again, or restart the print spooler.
Data type: NT EMF 1.008. Size of the spool file in bytes: 0. Number of bytes printed: 0. Total number of pages in the document: 0. Number of pages printed: 0. Client computer:%computername%. Win32 error code returned by the print processor: 259. No more data is available.
The server itself is running on HP hardware using vmWARE with multiple virtual servers on them. They are all up to date with service packs etc and are running .Net 4
Any help that you can offer would be appreciated as this is happening more and more.

Peter
There is another thread open under the "General" section. I was asked to post it here. I have left the other thread open because I believe this is not just applicable to the Remote Desktop Services Role. (http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winservergen/thread/94b0d7f7-6a26-4795-8c1f-ffee1ac309aa/)
Hey everyone,
I have now seen this issue happen on multiple Windows Server 2008 Terminal server setups. The services that time out are not exactly the same across all the servers, but a number of them are the same on all of them.
Here are the lists of services that timed out on one of these servers, along with the time it happened.
In the end, the server has to be restarted for us to access it and for users to connect to it.
Doing some research, I cam across this KB article (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/972596/), but not sure if it applies to this situation. I have seen other people post about this issue, but haven't come across anything that states the cause and resolution.
Has anyone else faced this or is facing it at the moment?
Any tips or suggestions would be great!
Thanks a lot!
Warm regards,
Sri
Accessing 2012 R2 RDWeb using Windows 7 as my client I have no audio redirection when I use the Connect to a Remote PC to access a virtual Win 7 workstation.
However if I directly use RDP from this same Windows 7 client to the same virtual Win 7 workstation audio redirection works.
Any ideas why it is not being passed through via RDWeb?

Hello.
I used RemoteFX on Windows 7 Enterprise VM with Windows Server 2012.
But i needed OpenGL & OpenCL support, so i upgraded to Technical Preview 2.
And set up Hyper-v with Remote desktop virtualization Host.
I selected generation 1, and browsed windows 10 enterpise iso file.
after installing, I ran windows update on VM(I heard that Hyper-V integration services were moved to Windows update), and added RemoteFX Video Adpater.
But after booting, I can't get signs whether any windows were loaded.. and also cannot connect by RDP.
I saw remotefx demonstration on microsoft blog, so RemoteFX is on technical preview. Is it right?
