Hello, we have an RDS server with apps configured and specifically about 30 users using Outlook with their mailbox configured...

Now we want to add a second RDS server for load balancing, problem is, users are not competent enough to reconfigure their email, and its a big admin task for us.

Any ideas to help me make this new RDS painless for outlook users?

RDS server farm user profiles.

I have noticed up to 100+ separate user profiles for several users (user.000...user.101) on the rds servers user folder and believe these to be temporary folders which can all be purged. Can these be deleted and is this something I can stop happening through GPO?

Seeing sporadic attempts at different intervals on users passwords but Event 4740 - Caller Computer Name is blank or labeled with MSTSC.  Need to find out which pc is being targeted or where it's coming from.  

What I know is;
MSTSC is not a PC name in our network, it is however the command for Remote Desktop but not a pc name.
There are three types of usernames the attack is targeting.  Some of the attempts are on defaulted AD users; administrator and backupuser
Other attempts are on non defaulted AD users like ITtech, itsupport, etc.
Only one non IT or defaulted AD user name is appearing in the lockouts which I'm tracking down to see where this person was and what device they are using.

My environment is I have a few PC's exposed to the internet for RDP sessions.  I've changed all the defaulted RDP port to a custom port along with port forwarding to match the connection i.e. 1.1.1.1:5001 for pc1, :5002 for pc2 etc.  I know its a very bad setup but we are moving away from it very soon.  I believe these attacks are coming from these edge devices but I can't find a way to correlate the info I have to the device being used for the attacks.  If I can find the device I can try to apply another security around it to buy some time, and frankly I would like to know why the caller computer name is blank or saying mstsc for my own information.  At the minimal I Just need to find which entry point the attack is coming from.

Any suggestions?

Hello,

We have a Windows 2012 RDS environment which has user profile disks setup on a file server hidden share and roams user profile data in there - please see the attached.  

For some reason, when I login as a user who belongs to the user group which is supposed to have access in the collection session, I am not seeing the profile disk is being created in that hidden share being specified in that location.  Instead, the user profile is created in c:\users on the RDS host.  

The hidden share also shows other many profile disks are successfully created.  

Please advise where I should start troubleshoot.  

Thanks.

Dear Experts,

We currently use an RDS environment with a Remote Desktop Gateway, and a Seperate Connection broker and 2 Terminal servers.
For the load balancing we use User Profile Disk to roam the user profiles between the 2 terminal servers.
We flat redirect the Contacts, Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Links, Music, and pictures to a fileserver.
For the Roaming user profile data and the User registry data we use the User Profile Disks. (see attachment ISSUE---UPD-setting-on-Gateway.JPG)

When a user logs on to one of the two terminal servers everything goes well and the user profile disks mounts and settings are saved. for example the background. outlook read panel position. signatures in outlook.

But there are also some settings which arent saved. for example the quick access ribbon in Word. in the left top corner in word you can make quick access to the functions in word, excel or powerpoint.
The problem is everytime a user logs off and on. these quick access icons dissapear. (See Attachment ISSUE---Word-Settings.JPG)
I thought this would be saved in the user profile disk. i was really sure of it.
Still some other settings doesnt seem to work correctly. for example specific settings in acrobat reader. for example the checkbox "dont ask again" in the license agreement pane everytime you start adobe acrobat.

Really anoying.. what is saved and what is not? anyone else experience this issue?

Any ideas?

I have a 92 year old mother who lives a short distance away and who is finding it harder and harder to handle technology. Therefore I am looking for a way to assist her remotely and it occurred to me that I may be able to set up a PC as an entertainment hub with remote access. The concept I had in mind is summed up as follows but I don't know how difficult or feasible it is so I am after comment:
1. Use her standard TV (now a 42 inch Panasonic plasma) as a monitor connected to a PC via HDMI 1
2. She needs to be able to play DVD's so a PC with a built in or external DVD should handle that. All I need to do is find a player that will instantly jump into full screen mode
3. She needs to be able to watch TV but she could do that either via the native TV tuner, or preferably through HDMI 1 using a TV tuner in the PC
4. When the PC boots it need to jump straight to TV but I think that could be done by loading the TV tuner software launcher in the Start folder - does that feasible?
5. It would be really handy if there was some software I could get that would enable me to create programmed recordings of TV shows but I would hope that the tuner may even come with such software
6 I would like to be able to control the process remotely but I think I could do that effectively with Teamviewer Free for personal use
7.The second most difficult challenge would be to enable her to have access to Italian TV without having to navigate multiple menus. There are providers of boxes that …

2 Xerox 7830 printers keep re-appearing when removed from a 2012 server.

they have been removed from the print server and there is NO GPO that is re-deploying them

does anyone have any other ideas why they would keep being re-installed

setup is as follows

1 DC
1 file server ( with print server installed)
1 RDS
multiple workstations

whenever the 7830 is removed from any device within maybe 2 minutes it will automatically be reinstalled even though it does not actual exist anymore.

We have deployed On-premises MFA server in the customer RDS environment.
The two factor is working perfectly when login in to the MFA user portal or using RDP icon downloaded from the rdweb site. But MAC users and Windows 10 users with the new Remote desktop APP are prompt twice for two factor. I suppose it’s because it connects to the RD Gateway in a different way than mstsc does.
I have tried to activate caching rules in the Azure portal. But I’m not sure if this will have any effect since we have installed the MFA server locally. Anyway, this have no effect on the issue.
We first tested with Duo two factor and also with this software users on Mac and Windows 10 app where prompt twice for the two factor.
Please advise.
