In mstsc.exe, under Local Resources > More.. there is an option for Video capture devices. Which lists my webcam and Devices that I plug in later. I have determined that this option the an RDP file is the string camerastoredirect:s:* So what I have done is ran the following command on my Connection Broker so that this line will be added to rdp file generated by the feed. Set-RDSessionCollectionConfiguration -CollectionName $CollectionName -CustomRdpProperty "camerastoredirect:s:*" When I run Get-RDSessionCollectionConfiguration I see the value has been added to CustomRdpProperty along with "use redirection server name:i:1" which seems to be a default on all collections. If I strip the signing info from a downloaded rdp file from the feed source and manually add camerastoredirect:s* my cameras are redirected. Instructing my users to do this in order to use their cameras that do not work with RemoteFX USB redirection is not a direction I want to go. What I am trying to solve is, why does my custom RDP property not apply to the RDP files that are downloaded.59KViews0likes2Commentstermsvcs memory hog
The process termsvcs on my server running Server 2016 continues to be a memory hog. We were consistently in the high 90% on memory usage, so I got rid of alot of unnecessary programs and services that we did not use hoping that would fix the issue. However, we continue to be in the high 90%, as termsvcs continues to grow in memory usage as I delete other programs and services. Is there any settings for termsvcs to help with memory usage? Thank you.Solved50KViews0likes11CommentsRDP Fails with Event ID 1058 & Event 36870 with Remote Desktop Session Host Certificate & SSL Communication

First published on TECHNET on Mar 04, 2015 Hello AskPerf Readers! Dhiraj here from the Windows Performance team to talk about deploying RDS using Windows PowerShell on Windows Server 2012 R2.44KViews1like0CommentsBug: no reconnect to disconnected session with fSingleSessionPerUser=0
Affected: All Server 2019 Insider Previews including build 17713 Steps to reproduce: (no need to install RDSH role to reproduce the bug) enable multiple sessions per user: Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Remote Desktop Services -> Remote Desktop Session Host -> Connections -> "Restrict Remote Desktop Services users to a single Remote Desktop Services Session" to "Disabled" rdp to the server and log in as Administrator close the mstsc window or disconnect rdp to the server again, log in as Administrator and you will get a new session taskmgr now shows 2 Administrator sessions: one disconnected and the new one just created close the mstsc window or disconnect rdp to the server again, log in as Administrator and you will get a new session taskmgr now shows 3 Administrator sessions: two disconnected and the new one just created ... If fSingleSessionPerUser == 0 you will not be able to reconnect to any disconnected session. However, now the interesting part: If you lock the session before the disconnect (ctrl+alt+end -> lock, then close mstsc) you will be successfully reconnected. I suspect the error is in termsrv.dll's CSessionArbitrationHelper::Sessions_EnumDisconnectedUserSessions function. You can alsoe reproduce this without rdp, directly on the console. Set the policy as mentioned above, log in as Administrator, disconnect your own session in task manager, log in again and you get a new session. This bug seems to be in termsrv.dll since Windows 10 1803 already.Solved29KViews4likes15CommentsRemote Desktop Services Deployment fails with exceptions
I'm trying to deploy Remote Desktop Services on a single server on Windows Server 2019 Standard. I've tried both Standard Deployment and Quick Start with a Session-based desktop development but I'm getting the following error during the installation: Unable to add server REMOTEAPP.AD.DOMAIN.COM to the list of servers on the RD Connection Broker server REMOTEAPP.AD.DOMAIN.COM..Exception of type 'System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException' was thrown. I searched for some hint about this problem but I had not find anything useful. I cannot even find any useful log into the events log, and I tried one more time after reinstalling the server from scratch. Could you help me please? Thank you very much!26KViews0likes3Comments
