Noob needs help with RDP Services
I am new to Windows server management. I setup a 2019 Server in a VM (Hyper-V). I installed the licenses we got for RDP from MS after installing the Remote Desktop Services. I am getting an error about Remote Desktop Licensing Mode is not configured. Tells me to use Server Manger to specify RD Connection Broker. Either I neglected to install it or configure it, not sure. Articles I find say go to Server Manager -> Remote Desktop Services -> Overview... BUT, that tells me I am logged in with a local account but must use a domain account to manage servers and collections. Again, not using a DC. This server is not part of a domain. We do not run AD internally only AzureAD online. We have 1 program we still run internally and users RDP to it. Should I remove the service and reinstall? What about the licenses I added already? How to I keep them? Any assistance will be greatly appreciated... J
RDP connection not possible and RDS-Virtualization role comes back after restart
Hello everyone, I have here an Windows Server 2022 Standard 21H2 (Build 20348.4052) (essentials) with the newest updates. This is the Domain Controller. Hyper-V is installed with one VM. The VM is a terminal server. In the past I have tried to install the terminal server on the Hyper-V Server. To do so I have installed all kind of remotdesktop roles. This was stupid of me. Especially it does not work on a DC. I want to connect as administrator by RDP (mstsc) to the server but it does not work anymore since I have installed all these roles and features. No other users are connected. I can still connect to the VM. In one situation I was able to connect to the server but after entering the password I have received the error 0x808 (0x101) that there is no licence server for remote desktop available. I have now removed all roles related to the terminal server and the rdp which I have installed. But I can not uninstall RDS-Virtualization. After uninstalling it comes back when I perform a restart. I have already tried Uninstall-WindowsFeature -Name RDS-Virtualization -Remove In the server manager appears a menu item about remote desktop services. But there is written that no connection broker server is in the pool. The submenu server lists my DC. I have found in the eventmanager a error related to the uninstalling process 0x80070057 wrong parameter But I do not have more information. DISM /RestoreHealth and sfc /scannow did not find any problems. I am not using VDI but is maybe the Hyper-V reinstalling the role after the restart? Do I need to uninstall the role to make RDP working again or could be there other reasons? Do you know where I find a detailed log about the problems about uninstalling the role and maybe the installing? Do you have any idea how I can find out more about the problem? Thank you!
Users "Status" fields blank on RDS with Windows Server 2025
Hi, we have two RDS Server with Windows Server 2025 installed (In-Place Upgrade from Server 2019). In Task-Manager under the "Users" Tab all fields of the "Status" row are blank. We cant see if a user is connected or disconnected. In cmd with "query user" it works. Someone else discovered this problem?Install RD Web Client on Windows Server 2022 – Complete Setup Guide

Hello everyone, This topic is already asked several times but I did not find any working answer. I am administrating a Windows Essentials 2022 server. One user need to work on the Remote Desktop temporary. I should create a seperate virtual terminal server on the Essentials server but currently I do not have time for that and it costs some money. So I want to take advantage of the grace periode that this user can work by RDP. It is the only existing server in this network and the network has only two staff and me ;-) The wellknow issue is that only administrator users can access this domain controller. I do not want to make the user an domain administrator. I have added the user by GPO to the people which are allowed to connect and I have added the user manually by system settings -> remote. After the second step at leaste RDP is opening but then I am getting a message that the user is still not allowed. Is there any option?
User CAL or RDS CAL for this kind of access?
My client need a VM with Windows Server 2022 installed. I've tell him to provide a Windows Server 2022 Standard 16 core installation but i'm confused with CAL license. The VM will start with an autologon on a user and then my customer will connect via RDP to that session (same user that starts in autologon) to manage the installed application (a SCADA automation software). Do I require a RDP CAL or a simple USER CAL? Thanks
RDP is locked to 30FPS for MacOS clients
I have found that even after going through the guide below, RDP connection remains locked to 30FPS if I connect to my Windows machine from my Mac. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-server/remote/frame-rate-limited-to-30-fps Is there any way to set the frame rate to 60FPS while using the Mac client for RDP? Thank you.RDS Farm with FIDO2 Key
Hello everyone, I'm trying to install an RDS farm with fido2 (Yubikey). I think I have created the conditions. The farm is onPrem (hybrid joined), the FIDO2 key is registered in Entra. The farm works correctly with normal credentials. However, setting up the FIDO2 key is giving me a headache. If I log in directly to one of the session hosts, FIDO2 works. But if I want to log in via the session broker, as it should be. I am connected to the session broker as a host and not forwarded to the hosts. But I only found this out by chance when I added the user to the Remodesktopuser group on the broker as a test. Otherwise you just get the message: "Access to the session was denied" and the broker's event log says "Couldn't find the file" #################### redirectclipboard:i:1 redirectprinters:i:0 redirectcomports:i:1 redirectsmartcards:i:1 devicestoredirect:s:* drivestoredirect:s: session bpp:i:32 prompt for credentials on client:i:1 server port:i:3389 allow font smoothing:i:1 promptcredentialonce:i:1 gatewayusagemethod:i:2 gatewayprofileusagemethod:i:1 gatewaycredentialssource:i:4 full address:s:RDS-TEST-BR.xxxxxxxxxxxxx gatewayhostname:s:rds-test.xxxxxxxxxxxxx workspace id:s:RDS-Test-BR.xxxxxxxxxxxxx use redirection server name:i:1 loadbalanceinfo:s:tsv://MS Terminal Services Plugin.1.Test use multimon:i:1 alternate full address:s:RDS-TEST-BR.xxxxxxxxxxxxx screen mode id:i:2 desktopwidth:i:800 desktopheight:i:600 winposstr:s:0,3,0,0,800,600 compression:i:1 keyboardhook:i:2 audiocapturemode:i:0 videoplaybackmode:i:1 connection type:i:7 networkautodetect:i:1 bandwidthautodetect:i:1 displayconnectionbar:i:1 enableworkspacereconnect:i:0 disable wallpaper:i:0 allow desktop composition:i:0 disable full window drag:i:1 disable menu anims:i:1 disable themes:i:0 disable cursor setting:i:0 bitmapcachepersistenable:i:1 audiomode:i:0 redirectlocation:i:0 redirectwebauthn:i:1 redirectposdevices:i:0 autoreconnection enabled:i:1 authentication level:i:2 prompt for credentials:i:0 negotiate security layer:i:1 remoteapplicationmode:i:0 alternate shell:s: shell working directory:s: gatewaybrokeringtype:i:0 rdgiskdcproxy:i:0 kdcproxyname:s: enablerdsaadauth:i:1 username:s:yubikey@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ####################Moving vb6 program windows via rdp with fixed resolution
Hello, we have the following problem. Environment: - Windows Server 2022 Terminal Server - VMWare 7 and 8 - Android Mobile Computer (Datalogic & Zebra) - Mobile app Remote RDP apk with resolution forced to 240x320 - VB6 programs Randomly while using the mobile computer when I open a new window or application it opens shifted relative to the others and also relative to the center. The connection does not go down you stay connected all the time. And being there fixed screen can not be moved. If I exit and re-enter everything is resolved. From what could be due VB6 programs for window management? I would like to point out that with Windows Server 2019 version it does not give any kind of problem. I ask for your help or adviceWindows server RDP black screen
Hello! I have 3 windows server machines in different places (with different domain, fully separated) with windows server 2019 OS, all of them does this, sometimes when I try to log in to the computer with remote desktop I only get a black screen, the CRTL+ALT+END does nothing, and after some time the connection closes. If I open the computer via idrac (DELL) nothing works I cannot move the mouse, the only solution is the hard reboot. I have a foth server with server 2016 OS which works well. I tried to update one of them to server 2022, but nothing changed the problem persists. The problem mostly occurs when I don't log out of the remote desktop, I just close the window. But it also happened that I logged out before. This is very annoying, what can cause this?
