Cool, then you should have it easy.

FYI - Published apps still create a full profile on the RDS box, Just the desktop isn't presented to the user. If the application allows them to browse around, they could typically see the drive letters, the mapped printers, etc... that's why you still need to lock all that stuff down.

Thanks for the info. I will keep that in mind. I was debating about using UPD's like @wrx7m and that was my interest in this post.

Also, still planning out where to put Connection Broker, WebAccess and Licensing but that is another post.

For local profile management, UPDs are a lot cleaner. If we are not putting them on a file server across the network then a second partition/VHDX is set up for that task to keep them separate.

With the inclusion of FSLogix with RDS CALs/SALs now it's a no-brainer, IMNSHO, to set the project up on the FSLogix version.

Storage management is another reason why UPDs on a network or separate partition make sense. Keeping a local profile on the C:\ of the session host is messy and can cause issues down the road with users coming and going.

As far as the Broker/Gateway/Web put those roles on one VM but separate from the Session Host.

@flaxking said in Microsoft Office - Licensing Questions For 3 Scenarios:

I think you must be missing what's going on here. This removes the requirement to integrate more directly with MS Office, instead relying on a separate library that is provided standalone from Office and thus allows saving to Excel. We've had zero issues with using this library, which is actually pretty uncommon for us.

The issue is flexibility. Using third party libraries, you can integrate with Excel or with anything else. Using the Office libraries, every user, in ever system, is bound by the limitations of the most problematic. It makes deployments more costly, and more complex.

That's true, it's the kind of self perpetuating lock-in that has served Microsoft so well. People use Excel, and they ask for saving to Excel spreadsheet, so we create the integration specially to allow Excel and not include ODF, then we help keep the industry locked into using Excel because that's all we support unless you want to just save to CSV.

As for the cost and complexity of deployments... that could be true, except that the installation of our main software is already so complex and costly that dealing with potentially installing this library is the easiest part. I think we probably only have one other developer who would be able to figure out how to install it. I've never heard of any client's IT that have been able to figure out how to install it (just calls from those who have tried), client services has to do literally every install.

@scottalanmiller

Hi, Thanks for wonderful script that save my time.
Could You please guide me how we can run this script on multiple servers?

I tried foreach PowerShell method but it does not work.

From the ISE, load the script and then enter-pssession for each system. Once connected, run the script from the ise. Sorted.

@phlipelder said in Default printer Webex on Remote Desktop Session:

I gather that the terminal client MSTSC has local resources unchecked?

Are the printers set up on the Session Host(s) that the users would be using? Are they allowed to choose the default printer via Devices & Printers (Control Panel) or are they not able to get into any Control Panel applets?

Yes local resources unchecked.

Yes, each session has printers setup on them. They are allowed to choose the printer they want.

Everything works except the default printer keeps changing to WebEx.

That's true

@nashbrydges said in Microsoft HTML5 Web RDS Client:

Wonder if this will be better than my Apache Guacamole install for RDP.

Likely, only because it needs one fewer components in the chain. But less flexible.

@Mike-Davis said in IIS / RDS 2012 R2 User's Can't Log On:

What does the IIS log say?

IIS Shows no errors. I see the POST where the login attempt is made, and then it 302 Redirects to Default.aspx and then it 302 redirects back to the login page.

Does it work from a computer on the same network at the server?

Looking to see if it's an ZT problem or a Server problem.

Same error over normal IP also once I brought up my IPSEC tunnel

OK but you still haven't tried from another PC on that network - i.e. no VPN.

Does not matter. No one connect on network. Also two differnt IP protocols do not work. Issue is not whatever the hell you are driving at.

two different IP protocols? 😉

/sigh... IP subnets.

Remmina is a great tool. I've had excellent luck with it.
