Printing problems on a VDI

$
0
0

I'm not sure if this is the right forum, but I couldn't find a VDI forum.  I'm having problems printing a document on a silverlight app through the VDI.  My problem below.  I'm not sure what to look for.

I'm printing these telerik reports.  I guess that doesn't matter, but I'm creating a Print Document from it.

Now, when I use a normal desktop and print, everything works fine, it's in vector and the size is 1 MB for the printer spool.

Now when I use this silverlight 5 program oob on a VDI (Virtual desktop instance, my customers are using this), it seems to print in Bitmap, because the size is 100MB now in the spool (same printer).  I did the following code to force vector printing, but no luck.  Maybe this is a VDI issue?  I don't know much about this area

            PrinterFallbackSettings settings = new PrinterFallbackSettings();
            settings.ForceVector = true;
            settings.OpacityThreshold = 0.5;

            this.printDocument.Print("document", settings,true);

Cannot copy paste files from local "C:" folder to Desktop of the TS

I have several users complaining about the fact that they can´t copy/paste file from local "c:" drive of their computers to the desktop of the TS session

If the user tries to copy the file from TS desktop to a local c:\temp folder, Works OK

If the user tries to copy the file from TS desktop to a mapped network drive letter, Works OK

If the user tries to copy the file from a mapped network drive letter to TS desktop, worls OK

Either usiig copy/paste or drive redirection, no matter option he choses, the copy is blocked by the lack of "paste" in context menu or the sign of "forbiiden" appears duting the drag operation.

I have a BIG GPO with several options included and the ones i think are related:

Hide these specified drives in My Computer Enabled 
Pick one of the following combinations Restrict A, B, C and D drives only
 
Prevent access to drives from My Computer Enabled 
Pick one of the following combinations Restrict A, B, C and D drives only
 

These options can prevent the copy from working only from c:\ local folder to Desktop of the TS session?

VirtualChannelWrite is hanging on RDS 8.1 clients

$

Our custom audio channel implementation (using WTS / RDS  Virtual Channel API) does not work  when connecting from Windows 8.1 to Windows Server 2012 R2. The call to pVirtualChannelWrite() never returns in that environment.
 
All other combinations (Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2012) are working.
 
The pVirtualChannelWrite() function and the VirtualChannelOpenEvent() function are called in two different threads. The call to pVirtualChannelWrite() is hanging as soon as we get a VirtualChannelOpenEvent() when the data we receive is larger than e.g. 400 byte.
 
We recognized the following difference to previous clients or Protocols:
 
- With RDP 8.1 the VirtualChannelEntry() and VirtualChannelInitEventProc() function with CHANNEL_EVENT_CONNECTED are called from two different threads at the beginning. With RDP 7.1 only one thread is used for this functions which is used for for following processes too.
 
- With RDP 8.1 our data package from the Server is split up into 2 packages although it is below the maximum of 1600 defined by CHANNEL_CHUNK_LENGTH. With RDP 7.1 it is received in one part.
 
Maybe related: We could not test this behaviour on Windows 7 because the RDP 8.1 Update for Windows 7 was removed few days after Release.
 
Thank you for any help you can provide.

hi,

When attempt to add RemoteFX Video Driver to an Hyper-V VM, on VM startup i receive a blocking error "insufficient resources..."

After two days of research, i realize that this error can be related to SLAT processor feature (EPT on Intel) ...

My processor is E5-2680 v2 that have EPT feature, but on R720 bios the only feature is Virtualization Enabled/Disabled.

There are tools or guidelines to diagnose this trouble?

Any help is very appreciated !!

Hi,

We have an issue on Windows 2008 R2 server.

We logon by on a services account session to launch differents interactives batch. After some times (variable) session is disconnect automatically. And we can't back on this session by rdp, session is open correctly and disconnect immediatly.

I find in event viewer different information but without error, just directly disconnect.

Remote Desktop Services: User authentication succeeded:
User: MyaccountService
Domain: MyDomain

1/27/2014 8:23:58 AM

Remote Desktop Services: Session has been disconnected:
User: MyaccountService
Session ID: 4

1/27/2014 8:24:01 AM

To allow me to connect again by rdp on this session, i need to log off the session, and it will works for few hours.

In the same time, I could open a rpd session on all other account without any disconnection...

Could it be a limit on the video size memory which not allow us to see the session ? Limit on memory ? ...

Thanks for your help

Cannot Reassign Virtual Desktop in Windows Server 2012 Personal Managed VDI Collection

$

I have a Personal Virtual Desktop Collection on my Windows 2012 server with 3 desktops created.

For testing purposes, I assigned the 3 desktops to admin users and everything was working well. I need to re-assign two of the three desktops to the actual end-users now that they are setup the way I want, and tested. I go through Server Manager - Remote Desktop Services - Collections - Virtual Desktop and select the virtual desktops, then select Assign and enter the new AD User. It does not error, and now shows the right user assigned.

But, when I try to remote desktop for these two users, it logs into the actual Windows 2012 server, and not the virtual guest on that server.

I've rebooted the server and guests a few times, and cannot seem to get this working for these two users.

Any ideas?

RemoteApp printing is pushing page through but no content

$

Hi Group,

We are starting to use our custom application in RemoteApp. It needs to print address labels. We use a Dymo 400 label printer. But, really it should work for any label printer.

The server is windows server 2008 R2. The clients are w7.

Initially, the symptoms were that the page in the label printer would come out but no data/text would be on it. It would be blank. So the printer got the print command but did not get the data.

We then took Wordpad and published it in RemoteApp. We typed on the page and printed to the label printer. Same thing, blank page came out. Then, went to print preview on wordpad. This took a few seconds. But once that was done, then, data started to show up on the label printer. We also changed a flag on the printer properties to only start printing when all the data was received.

We then opened our custom application and tried to print an address label. It worked. We thought, great, its fixed.

We then tried on our end-users computer. It is still printing blank pages from wordpad and our custom software.

It seems like some kind of caching/timing issue with the data transmission to the printer. Does anyone have any advice on how to solve this issue?

Thank you.

Hi,

I am trying to overcome a peculiar situation, I have machine A from which I am making a remote connection to machine B, using mstsc , doing this terminates any logged-in session in machine B and passes its handle to session A.

Now , is there a way in which I can pass this handle , which is currently under machine A back to machine B ?

I do not have the option of physically going to the remote machine and logging.

Can this be achieved ? please help !!

Thanks,

Default Connection URL via GPO 2012 server / windows 8 client

This is the setup

2012 server

windows 8 Client

Group Policy sets the Default Connection URL

If I log on to the windows 8 client with an account that is part of the local administrators group it works.  The start screen is updated with Work Resources and if you launch an apps.

If I log on to the windows 8 client as normal user it doesn't work.  The start screen is not updated with Work Resources/apps.  I have looked in the registry and the policy is setting the Default URL Location for the user that doesn't have admin rights.  I have checked "Control Panel/RemoteApp and Desktop Connections" and there isn't anything listed.  If I give the user admin right and log back in it will work.

Is there some service or app this is not starting for the basic user?

Any ideas what would cause this and the next place I should look?

Thanks


Remote App Outlook 2010 in Exchange

$

Hello All,<o:p></o:p>

I am running RDS Farm with Windows Server 2008 R2. I have 2 RDS servers connected to domain and so on.<o:p></o:p>

I have managed to "publish" Internet Explorer as a remote app (For secure surfing) and it works perfectly.<o:p></o:p>

Now I would like to publish Outlook 2010 as a remote app and getting this issue:<o:p></o:p>

When I try to run the published outlook shortcut, it opens up the outlook profile initialize in order to get the exchange server settings which is ok.

But when I try to type my exchange server parameters it does not accept it and I get the attached screenshot error.<o:p></o:p>

It seems like it does not "see" the Exchange server from the remote app.<o:p></o:p>

On the other hand, if I log on to one of the rds servers with RDP (as remote desktop) and open up outlook, it accept the details and works fine. ( Basically I do not want to publish a full remote desktop but only specific remote apps )<o:p></o:p>

From some reason when I run the Outlook as a remote app it does not recognize the Exchange server and won't let me setup the profile.<o:p></o:p>

Even if I type the ip address of my exchange I get the same error, so I assume it has nothing to do with DNS issue nor Firewall or Antivirus.(?) <o:p></o:p>

In addition, Once I do manage to initialize the profile through the RDP and then run it from the remote app it works.<o:p></o:p>

Obviously I cannot log on with 60 with remote desktop and initialize their profiles, I need to publish it and configure the profile from the remote app.... <o:p></o:p>

some more details :<o:p></o:p>

1. Windows 2008 R2 Domain environment.<o:p></o:p>

2. LAN is on a different segment from RDS Farm.<o:p></o:p>

3. If any other details is needed please let me know.<o:p></o:p>

Moreover, this post seem to be similar to my issue but I am not sure if it would solve my issue. (http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/059a57ad-09e0-4b2d-9292-18532f7d0339/outlook-2010-server-is-unavailable-error-when-starting-remote-app?forum=winserverTS)<o:p></o:p>

Using Windows 2008 R2 RD Session Hosts in Windows 2012 RD Deployments

$
0
0

Just a couple of observations from our attempt to deploy Windows 2008 R2 RD Session Hosts as part of a Windows 2012 RD Deployment. Hopefully these save someone the angst of not finding answers in other documentation.

1. Our first hurdle was trying to add a Windows 2008 R2 server (RD02) as a Session Host in the Remote Desktop Services area in Server Manager on our Windows 2012 RD Deployment server (RDCB01), which had the Connection Broker, Web Access and Session Host role services installed. After some side-tracking through AD issues, we eventually discovered that we had to manually add RD02 to the list of servers to manage in Server Manager on RDCB01. Then it was visible and could be selected.

2. Now that we could, we tried to actually add the RD02 Windows 2008 R2 Session Host to the 2012 Deployment. This failed the previously unheard of compatibility tests with the error "Compatibility check failed" "The server is not running at least {0}". A list of requirements is shown:

You will not be able to proceed with the installation unless ALL the following criteria are met:

  • The server must be available by using Windows PowerShell remotely.
  • The server must be running at least Windows Server 2012.
  • The currently logged on user must be a member of the local Administrators group on the server.
  • The server must not have a pending start.

We were also concerned that we could not change many of the properties of Published Applications on our 2012 Publishing server. In our case changing an icon was critical for user acceptance to distinguish between application functions.

It seems RDS is an all or nothing approach between 208 R2 and 2012 versions. The only thing we were able to get going in time was some limited Published Application capability.

I agree with other posters in their assessments of wholesale changes to RDS in 2012, and a lack of readily available definitive information. 

VDI- PROBLEM WITH THE CREATION OF A DESKTOP POOL

Hi everyone:

I have a problem with the creation of a new desktop pool, i´ve already create one with 5 virtual machines ´n all of them works fine, but when i try to add a new one or create a new pool i have the next alert on the first VM ´n the rest fail:

"el agente de conexión a escritorio remoto no pudo crear el objeto de cuenta de equipo en servicios de dominio
de Active Directory.Asegurese de que la cuenta de equipo del agente de conexion a escritorio virtual tiene
perimoso para crear cuentas de equipo en la unidad organizativa(OU), que el agente de conexión a Escritorio remoto
puede ponerse en contacto con AD DS y que no existe un objeto de cuenta de equipo duplicado en otra OU"

i cant stand why it says that because the agent has created 5 VM without any problem in the first pool.
