For a long time now, we have a setup with all of our desktops where users log into a desktop and group policy connects them to a terminal server running 2008 r2.  The desktop clients are all running Windows 7.  All other computers and users work just fine in the company.  No changes have been made.

The desktop computers we will call Comp1 and Comp2.  When a user logs into the desktop, after a minute or so they get the following error:

"the remote session was disconnected because there are no remote desktop client access licenses available for this computer"

I did some research which all pointed to deleting from the registry the HKLM\software\microsoft\mslicensing so I did that and rebooted.  After doing so and logging back in (as a non admin) I now get the following error:

"The remote session was disconnected because license store creation failed"

Next I tried to restore the MSLicensing entry, and delete only "Store" inside of MSLicensing.  Rebooted still no luck.  I also tried adding and removing the desktop from the domainn and re-adding it.  Still no luck.  I then tried removing the users local profile from the desktop.  Still no luck.

However if I skip the problematic desktops and for example rdp straight to the terminal server using a users credentials, I am able to log in just fine.  This tells me it is not a TS issue.

As I mentioned the issue is only with these two desktops.  All other desktops in the domain connect to the terminal servers with no …

our two ADSL connections has download 12 mbps and upload 600-700 kbps . one of our application vendor is connecting via webex and informing us connection is very slow. but when we check with the  auto desk /ammi or teamviwer  working fine . what is the minimum recommended  bandwidth for this activity .

When connecting to a windows 2012 r2 session based RDS the check box for "let me choose one scaling level for all my displays" when using windows 10 for  RDP is greyed out. If windows 7 OS is used for RDP   I can check box it.

Hi,

I d need to grant 10 users rdp acces to a W2K16 server. So I d like to make an rds server from this W2K16 server.

How can this done?
Note: we got an RDS 2012 farm, can I just add it there?

Hello every one,

I need your suggestion.

I am working with IT solutions Company and we have small datacenter. We have hosted VMs for 50 plus clients. Different forest and different subnets.

I need your suggestion which centralized patching management solutions is best for us. We want to manage it through one server. Means to say we want to install one patching server and install the patches by this server to all vms.

Regards

I have one public IP on my broadband router and three servers with private IPs. I have configured port forwarding (3389) for one server. It is working fine and accessable via remote desktop connection.
Now I want to access all servers remotly (via remote desktop). How I can configur the port forwarding (3389) for all servers.

I have setup RRAS on Server 2012 R2 specifically using L2TP as the primary connection in for remote access.
I also enabled port forwarding on the router to be directed to the server hosting RRAS.  We were initially using an old outdated router and found out it didn't support L2TP so it was replaced, however, we still cannot get this to work.

RRAS Setup:
Enabled for IPv4 using a static DHCP Address Pool
Authentication provider is windows authentication
Accounting provider is windows accounting
Preshared key has been setup

The ports I forwarded are:
L2TP port 1701 UDP
Port 500 UDP
Port 4500 UDP

I also tried TCP/UDP on these ports and still unable to connect.

VPN End User setup:
Setup for L2TP
Requires encryption
Setup to use CHAP and MS-CHAP v2
Also tried using EAP-MSCHAP but no change
Ensured I entered the correct Preshared key for L2TP

Confirmed RRAS is OK as I have been able to get PPTP working without issue.

When we try to connect to L2TP it hangs on connecting......

We've exhausted our resources on solving this issue at this point.

Thanks!

A users computer will not log on today. Worked fine yesterday. OS is WinPro7 . We use a VPN logon.  When she tries to log on, it says user or password is incorrect. When I log on with my credentials, it starts logging on, then says "Logging off" and returns to the log in screen.  What should I do?  I tried restarting in Safe Mode with networking and it did let my logon in, but there is not Remote Access Control (something like that) when I try to launch the Network>VPN.  Next thing I tried was restart using F8 and then ran Repair Computer, but System Restore had an error 0x800700b7.

Any idea what I should try?

I am unable RDP to Domain Controller from any of the client computer. Server is on and available in the network, remote access is enabled. I can Ping the server. Firewall is turned off and antivirus is disabled. Any suggestions.

My friend's 90 year old mother (Jane) needs computer help about once a month.  In the past, I used Gotomypc for this support, but it has become way too expensive (mainly because I have 3 old timers I support.)

So, now I use Microsoft Quick Assist which is free and suits most of my needs. There is one frustrating problem: QA can restart her computer, but it NEVER reestablishes the QA session after the restart.

As a result, Jane needs to sit by her computer for long periods of time when she could be resting comfortably in front of the TV.

QA documentation warns that it might not always be able to reestablish the connection, but I have NEVER had it work. Instead, Jane sees a password screen.  When she enters the password the session is still not reestablish, we have to start over with a new 6 digit code.

The problem seems to be that the her credentials are not being saved and reestablished properly.

Has anybody ever had success with this Quick Assist function?    I run windows 10 Pro and Jane runs Windows 10 home.  Jane's computer does not run in administrator mode, so maybe that would help?

I have setup  RemoteDesktop Services on a Windows 2012r2 server to allow remote users to run Microsoft Access Databases.   It was working pretty good with the occasional "Your network access was interrupted.  To continue close the database, and then open it again"  error.

Lately I have been getting lots of locked files mostly Microsoft Access and one unrelated application.  

I am tied into the corporate licensing so I have enough licenses but is there a limit to the number of users on the server who can have the same application open.  (Microsoft Access being the most common issue).

I have monitoring setup and there is no network connection issue, I am not close to maxing out bandwidth, CPU or Memory.

This is quickly becoming an important issue.    

I know the recommended solution is to split the Databases so that there is a front and back end but there are to many databases and I only need to keep this going for another 3-4 weeks.   Does anyone have any suggestions
