Ryan Mangan's IT Blog 
I had a vendor help me set up RDS 2012. Most of my remote users should have restricted access but they are all seeing the Server Manager and Power Shell. How can I prevent access to those 2 programs specifically (and probably others). I’d try the suggestions in this article on my domain group policy, but it didn’t work: http://www.emware.nl/articles/remove-unpin-powershell-icon-from-taskbar.html
I can’t go live with this server until this is fixed…
Make sure the paths are correct for Powershell and Server Manager
Ryan, i have been encountering the temp profile problem over and over again on our deployment (RDS 2012 R2). We do use UPD. So much so, that i am thinking about scrapping this deployment and redeploying from scratch. I haven’t been able to find a “guide” on the correct process to remove session host servers, gateway server and all RDS servers in the proper fashion (so all instances, references are removed from AD and any other DB which may hold RDS info). Do you know the correct process or know of a doc that has the correct process?
It sounds like you have a locked sessions. is this your account, are you logging in as admin ? have you tried clearing all the sessions and trying again ? can you give me a bit of background info
HI Ryan,
Thanks for your articles.
We need to deploy Windows Server 2012 R2 RDS Farm in WAN environment using DNS round robin method.
We have one RDS Connection broker server and 4 Session host servers.
Please advise us how can we move further.
Regards,
Varma.
What do you mean by WAN ? Are you referring to the solution being spread across a MPLS cloud or external Cloud ISP. OR are you wanting to create a solution between multiple sites.
Dear Ryan,
Excellent documents, though I have one issue “RD Gateway level unknown”, and grade out. I am not able to apply existing or new certificates?
Regards,
Alaa Nafawa
