I'm still having issues with Outlook search results when users are running RDS sessions (and fslogix(?)) on a 2019 server. Missing results, etc. Can't figure this one out

Well this isnt good.. since yesterday afternoon users have been getting disconnected from the RDS servers briefly until they can get back on a few minutes later. Event viewer shows "remote desktop gateway service terminated unexpectedly" but having found much else to go on

I'm struggling to enable HA on my connection brokers.. Any tips? 🙂 The database part isn't straight forward following microsoft documentation, atleast from my attempts..

Anyone using RemoteApp with RDS? WE are seeing some apps that have System Tray Icons. The first time you run that app, the System Tray Icon will appear, but subsequent launches, the System Tray Icon doesn't appear. We're wondering if there is a policy or RDS setting that addresses this that we are missing.

Anyone know how to connect RDS gateway with RD web servers. I know how to connect the RDP client to it but what if user are access it through the rdweb url..how does that work.

Do i really need to implement RDS Gateway if my RDS farm will only be used internally and not accessed outside the corporate network?

umm, i guess i can't have to RDS connection brokers in one farm unless i have a shared connection to a sql database...is that a correct assumption? thats what copilot is telling me..lol

GM everyone, a few questions for everyone. is there a way to divide remote apps and Desktops? so they appear in different section of RD Web similiar to SF/Workspace?

also, is there a way to automatically include the domain name? so the users doesn't have to type in domain\username format. the only way i found when researching is it by using the users upn. i was hoping i could configure it so all they have to do is put there user name in, like citrix director can.

GM, how can i improve this? is there anyway to automatically open w/o user interaction? also, i read it could cause drive space issues b/c there is no mechanism to clean them up. is that true? what are you doing to simplify this whole process for the user? thanks!

But would like a solution if anyone knows.

Anyone ever tried the steps mentioned here for a non-domain joined rds licensing server? I tried both ways (registry and cmdkey) without success

Hi, on our RDS 2016 servers, after Edge upgraded from 130.0.2849.80 to the 131.0.2903.xx we cannot longer sign in, in the edge browser, for new users, users that already are sign in do not have any problems(except if they sign out). The error we get is: DPTI: 75a3b75ccfb0e186c85e4b397afcc106b1cb10ede22e8617f1d75209a8227419 Error Tag: 9zp30 Error Code: 0 Tried different version of the 131 version with the same result. But if I downgrade to 130.0.2849.80 or the newer 130.0.2849.123, then I have no problem with sign in. Any one have a hit to what I need to fix, before upgrading to Edge 131.

Hi, in an AVD-environment (Win11 Multi-Session, Hybrid Joined, Entra ID SSO for Logon) there's the need to start published Apps from a OnPrem RDS-Farm (Server 2025 RD-Web with Broker). I know there are tons of blogs on how to gain sso (setting the TERMSRV Policy, SHA1 Certthumbprint,...) but that's not working when the "client" is a AVD Host. I think that should work with Kerberos? Anything special to configure so the AVD RDP-Client is using Kerberos for SSO? When trying to add the Work-Resource (via the webaccess.customer.com/RDWeb/feed) there's a Windows-Auth popup saying "Username or Password wrong" for the RDWeb-FQDN. The same on Browser is doing SSO to the RDWeb Page, instantly. Downloading a .rdp file and starting giving also a Windows-Auth popup with the Broker-FQDN saying "The login attempt failed". I've played around on the IIS settings of the RDWeb Servers with Negotiate and Kerberos, without any changes. I'm not sure if (and where) I have to configure sth special on the Broker Servers? Thank you!

Hi Folks, anyone has a nice guide for setting up RDS broker for only internal use? Also I want it behind Ironsphere, a PAM, does anyone know if it works ? Thanks a mill!

Hmm does the "Try new outlook" toggle not work for users on an RDS host? When they click it, it says "downloading new outlook" then they get a Switch Now button, which does nothing. (FSLogix used as well, if that matters)

Does anyone know if there is a way to publish Microsoft RDS remote apps that are hosted on on-prem servers on the https://myapps.microsoft.com/ portal? I found these steps - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/app-proxy/application-proxy-add-on-premises-application, but I'm not sure if it just publishes the RDWeb URL and not the applications. I need to publish the remote apps. please let me know if you have been able to accomplish this and how.

I recently set up a new RDS farm that hosts RemoteApps, but users are prompted to enter their credentials after clicking on a RemoteApp. I've tried multiple solutions to enable SSO, but the only methods that have worked so far are launching the application through Internet Explorer or configuring the Enterprise Mode Site List for Microsoft Edge. Has anyone successfully enabled SSO without adding the RD Web Access URL to the Enterprise Mode Site List or launching the application via Internet Explorer?

Has anyone setup Remote Desktop web client - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/remote/remote-desktop-services/remote-desktop-web-client-admin . trying to set this up in my lab with an internal certs. has anyone been able to do this. i am asking b/c i am getting errors in mine, and i am trying to determine if its the certificate or licensing.

Has anyone been able to map local client drive when users are using the RDP web client to access remoteapps?

Has anyone found a way to change the icons for Remoteapps in a RDS Farm. i tried changing in the registry on the connection brokers but did not have any luck -

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Terminal Server\CentralPublishedResources\PublishedFarms\<YourFarmName>\<YourCollectionName>\<AppAlias>

Hi all! Have anyone managed to get SSO to work to an on-prem RDS environment from an Entra-ID only joined machine with WHFB? I cannot find a good answer researching it online.

Struggling with Server 2019 and RDS licensing at the moment. We bake the RDS licensing servers into our image (App Layering), along with the licensing mode (Per User). However, when we compile the image and boot a S19 VDA up, the first attempt at launching a Citrix Desktop fails - it tries to launch, then disappears, and we see license server errors in the event log. Next user, and all subsequent users, can launch the desktop just fine, but the server is running in grace mode at that point. Has anyone had to do anything weird to get this working in S19 before? We have a ticket with MS opened, but they have not been helpful.

Has anyone had reports of users being unable to connect to RDS gateway/hosts lately? Some of my users have been reporting that for the last week or so.. like they have to try 5-10 times then it'll let them in. Curious if a recent windows update might've started this behavior

Not exactly sure when this started.. but for the past couple of months, my users on RDSservers (using FSLogix) are often having to re-authenticate to office apps as they are getting a yellow exclamation mark next to their names in top right corner. RDS servers all have unique machine ID's, shared activation is enabled... what else to look at?

My 2019 RDS servers are getting killed with CPU lately. Looking right now, Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection Service is hovering around 10%. I have typical things excluded like FSLogix, etc. Anything else you guys typically do? Trying to find a good way to "watch" what its scanning so I can look at adding exclusions. I cant imagine excluding word.exe or outlook.exe would be a good idea.

Curious.. any of you running 2019 RDS session hosts and copilot? Lots of my users are crashing when they try to do something like auto-rewrite an email in Outlook (classic)

Hi everyone, we run an RDS farm delivering mainly a Delphi line-of-business application to distributed locations, in production for several years now. Our current focus is performance optimisation and observability across the fleet. Most of what's written points at AVD, and what does cover classic RDS rarely gets past the conceptual, which makes it feel like a fairly niche corner. So I'd like to connect with others running something similar. We've built up a fair bit of experience along the way and are happy to share it; I'm looking for exchange in both directions rather than answers. If that sounds like your environment, feel free to drop me a DM.

Hey team! For anyone managing RDS—how are you dealing with the Edge XSLT deprecation warning on the legacy RD Web portal (

/RDWeb/Pages

)? Curious if folks are using Edge policies to suppress it, or migrating users elsewhere. Thanks!
