Remote Desktop Services Collection Creation Issue

Hi Guys;

I've set up an RDS environment consisting of 5 servers "Session Host, Gateway, Webaccess, License Server, & connection broker"

The Webaccess and the GW servers are in the DMZ, all the required ports are open on the FW, and Windows firewall is disabled on the all servers "service is on though". All servers are on 2012 R2, SQL 2012 Express is installed on the Licensing server. Everything went smooth till the Collection Creation phase, where I'm getting the following:

1. Warning: CorpRDSHP11 "Session host server" The property UserAuthenticationRequired is configured by using Group Policy settings. Use Group Policy Management Console to configure this property.

2. When I access the WebAccess through the link "https://webaccess.domain.com/RDWeb/", I don't see anything under Current Folder!

Please help.

Thanks.

Hi,

Re point 2 - I'm sure when I last did this I had to tick a checkbox within the collection properties to show it in RDWeb. By default nothing is published there

Hi Solacement;

The check box for showing the collection in WA is checked by default. I checked it, and it is ticked. I un-ticked it, and re-ticked it again and applied the changes, but nothing changed.

Thanks.
Hi Cliff Galiher;

Thank you for your help, I'm sorry for posting 2 questions, but I thought that since both questions are related then it might be better to post them together, but I agree with you.

As for your suggestion, I will check and let you know in a shot while.

Thanks.
Hi Cliff Galiher;

#1 has been solved as suggested, it was the local GPO. However; #2 is still an issue :-(

I am not surprised that #2 is still an issue. Ultimately I didn't suspect the issues were related, which is why I thought combining them in the same question would actually be detrimental. But we'll tackle it.

Ports have been configured according to the following KB:

Hi Cliff Galiher;

I think you are right.. I see the following error on the WA server when I publish a collection.. so I think that the FW configuration needs to be modified... Do you know which ports should be opened?
