Can't they just patch this? :/ :(

Where is the Remote Desktop Session Host Configuration tool in Server 2012 ?

I was able to successfully restore the administrative console on my Windows 2012 R2 servers by following the "hairy" registry technique posted by E6Sistemes and Rl08761. As far as I can tell, 9 developers from Microsoft up-voted Freek Berson's reply (which should be reported as abuse also, in my opinion) and then a Microsoft forum administrator came along and marked it as the answer. Points should have been given to E6Sistemes and Rl08761 for actually solving the user's problem (and not telling them to get over it). 

For the record, in addition to TSADMIN.DLL, TSADMIN.MSC, TSCONFIG.DLL, and TSCONFIG.MSC, I also had to copy over WTS.DLL. 

SPMSDN's attempt to scare users away from the real answer (just because it involves a registry script) should also be marked as abuse.  The configuration console *needs* to be restored so you can examine and adjust the security configuration of Remote Desktop for Administration.  Right???  Freek (?) is over here tell us that we need to have Session Collections now?!?  Anyone got a license for that?!?  Anyone running out to buy one because of this?!?   
 
I just need to securely configure a way (that will pass a Nessus scan) to remote to my server as an administrator.  I think Microsoft has their head in the cloud on this one.

The combined registry file looks something like this:

Where is the Remote Desktop Session Host Configuration tool in Server 2012 ?

A big fail on Microsoft's part is Metro on Server. In fact, why stop there?

*VSS previous versions deliberately broken and soon to be deprecated.

*IEAK is a joke, which brings me to...

*GPO's. What a joke. Seriously, the best way to implement anything now is with registry gpo's and google.

One could go on and on at how the environment is so disparate, inconsistent, <b>slow</b> and broken, truly dumbfounding, and above all - non-compliant.

I want an environment that is built for admins, instead I get a big fail bag of Microsoft. I am so glad I go home to BSD at COB (Fortunately I run my own gear during the day so it isn't all that bad).

great suggestions here and i agree that this is big fail on the part of microsoft.  i am able to manage ***some**** setting of my 2012 R2 RDS session host server ( ExmplSrvA )  remotely from a 2008 r2 server (ExmplSrvB )  via the tsconfig.msc...just connect to the remote 2012 r2 server .  From ExmplSrvB open tsconfig.msc right click the root of tree in the gui on the left had side and connect to remote desktop session host server. find /browse your remote server ExmplSrvA  or type in ExmplSrvA .  Course this means that you have to keep around a server 2008R2 or win 7 machine...  perhaps the tools installed on win 8.1 would also work ?    Still testing this.

DCCADMIN, I am feeling your pain.  Hopefully MS will see a signification reduction in TS client license sales and rethink their strategy.

Just found this post after looking for much the same. I do not see where in the GPO you can specify users/groups to be allowed to logoff other sessions. I was using a powershell script to do this, which worked very nicely, until I allowed a group of my support folks access. They don't have the ability to run a simple get-rdusersession without being a local admin on each of my rd hosts. I was hoping to delegate to them the ability to logoff sessions, but if they can't even list the users, well, that seems rather hopeless. :(

So, after spending a lot of time looking around for a solution to RDP-TCP configuration (which was a very handy in previous versions) I gave up on these settings and just reverted to Group Policies instead. The changes you require can be set through either local group policie (LGP) or a Group Policy Object (GPO) through Active Directory, which is suitable for Workgroup and Active Directory.

Have a look at gpedit.msc (Local Group Policy)

Computer Configuration - Administrative Templates - Windows Components - Remote Desktop Services - Remote Desktop Session Host

In there you will find the settings you require to set the security settings (similar to RDP-TCP) though there is no GUI. Each setting has a description which describes what they do. Very simple and can be incorporated in to templates prior to deployment so all servers receive these settings.

I believe the link "SPMSDN" added to GUI version is very useful however, there are no settings for timeouts etc... which you can do through Group Policies.

Well, last month our board of directors handed down the final word - meet the penguin. The main reason we are migrating everything away from Microsoft is this Remote Desktop Services fiasco. Every time we turn around there seems to be some new aspect of Remote Desktop that we can't utilize anymore without jumping through several new hoops and using some kind of work around to get past Microsoft's Domain Exclusivity. This will cost you (Microsoft) thousands of Server installations on our part. Oh well. I'm sure you'll make lots of money off of someone else.

I tried this on one of my 2012 R2 boxes and it appears to be working fine. So far. I've also done the same thing with tsadmin.msc so most of my RDS headaches are solved. Here's how to make the 2008 R2 tsadmin work on 2012:

Copy tsadmin.dll, tsadmin.msc, and wts.dll from a 2008 R2 server's \Windows\System32 folder to the same folder on the 2012 server. Create the following .reg file (or export the registry key from the 2008 R2 server's registry):

I've managed to enable TSConfig in Windows 2012 from older Windows 2008R2 TSConfig. From a Windows 2008R2 server, copy tsconfig.msc and tsconfig.dll (from and to system32 folder) and load this into registry (also exported from 2008R2):

This Works for my Windows 2012 server, including remote configuration for other Windows 2012 servers, but maybe with some limits (reading tsconfig.msc contents it seems that other snap-in extensions are included, but I've have not exported them). Be careful, maybe Microsoft doesn't support it ;-)

Same problem here.It's time for us to make friends with some penguin and maybe (just maybe) sip some Wine from time to time.

So it appears for all the customers that use RDP in a workgroup environment it has become virtually impossible to host a remote application without also having the overhead of active directory. If there is a way to configure a remote app in a workgroup setting I need to know. If power shell and hacking the registry is the only way to manage a workgroup RDP server and you can't publish a remote app, most of our clients will be forced to abandon MS for their small business needs or pay someone else to manage it for them. Please advise.

Azzuroo, the License Mode can be set using the Group Policy Editor/Administrative Templates/Windows Components/Remote Desktop Services/Remote Desktop Session Host/Licensing/Set the remote desktop licensing mode.

There are other RDS settings that can be changed through Group Policy as well. It's not as simple and straight forward as it used to be, but it can be done. Hope this helps!

hey dgedes

thank you!

well than, but now i know what i have to do.

so i think for some project's i can use the RDSH in a workgroup, and i think it is supported.

the thing is, i thought i can outsource all my servers to azure, but now with a server for the active directory and one for the rds it is more expensive :(

or do you know can i use the azure active directory service for this szenario? http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/home/features/identity/


thank you for your fast answer!

What, exactly, is the logic behind making the GUI unavailable unless your server is on a domain?

I really don't want to have to train a few hundred store managers and warehouse IT staff on the various usages of PowerShell, just sayin'.

You can install just the Session Host role service and manage it entirely with PowerShell:

http://blogs.msdn.com/b/rds/archive/2012/06/28/introduction-to-windows-powershell-scripting-in-windows-server-2012-remote-desktop-services.aspx

You will eventually also need a License Server, which can be installed on the same Session Host or a separate sever entirely.

The RDS GUI management plug-in for Server Manager does require a domain in order to install.
