@guyrleech @Synology @xenserver Any chance that the password contains a „#“ which could be misinterpreted as a comment? Hit this error once while using NetScaler with encrypted PEM certs.

@awakecoding Vyos also serves as a DHCP, but I don’t use that as I often just use windows dhcp in a short living domain controller lab/trial setup.

Can’t find a sample config right now. But let me know if you need one. It’s mostly configuring IP for 2 NICs and a simple NAT configuration.

[Andre Sicking @andre_sicking]

@awakecoding I normally setup a separate Open Source based Vyos Router VM with 2 interfaces (internal/external) and provide NAT by this VM. It may be a very small VM and it works pretty well for normal lab work. Nightly ISO builds are available without subscription or compiled by your own.

@the_incoronated @ianlpaterson @cioontherun @Broadcom @VMware Yes you can integrate ESXi, but Nutanix also comes with AHV, Acropolis Hypervisor, which is essentially KVM, which is open source based.

@TomsKnostenberg I like the part where the GhostScript installer sets up Microsoft VCRedist silently as a dependency without letting the user know.

@Deyda84 @xenappblog At least removing Arc should be a one liner as far as I remember. 😊

@vcbawue @eckerle_m @VCRMN_DE Ich wünsche euch viel Spaß. Nach Karlsruhe schaffe ich es heute leider nicht. Vielleicht aber ein anderes Mal. Sieht ja echt gemütlich aus.

@guyrleech @BoreanJordan @citrix Old 2012 R2 tries to use TLS1.0 by default afaik. You can force version 1.2 by using the following before using iwr on a 2012R2 OS: [Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12

@vdNieuwenhofEU I just tested this and I think this is a good solution. So the customer can atleast connect to the main RDS collection. Let’s see how this fits in the end. That’s again for the hint.

[Andre Sicking @andre_sicking]

Can anyone help? How do I configure @Sysinternals RDCMan to connect to a RDS brokered collection? Specifying Load balance config with details from .rdp file doesn't help and leads to disconnection reason 1040. Similar disconnects in mRemoteNG.

[Andre Sicking @andre_sicking]

@vdNieuwenhofEU Good point. But what if I want to be able to connect to any Collection of the broker? Would that make any difference?

[Andre Sicking @andre_sicking]

@awakecoding I just tested it and it works without a flaw. So I‘m going to recommend it to the customer now as an alternative solution. Thanks for your help.

[Andre Sicking @andre_sicking]

@awakecoding Thanks for your response. Very interesting. LB String is just tsv://MS Terminal Services Plugin.1.Desktop and the FQDN of the farm is 20 chars long. Not too long in my opinion. In mRemoteNG I can configure to use UTF8 when sending LB string. But this doesn’t make any difference.

[Andre Sicking @andre_sicking]

This should just be the DNS name of the broker but there is no way to set this separately in RDCMan or mRemoteNG. Any ideas?

[Andre Sicking @andre_sicking]

Broker eventlog shows Event 802: RD Connection Broker failed to process the connection request for user DOM\User. Farm name specified in user's RDP file (hints) could not be found.
Error: The farm specified for the connection is not present.

@EdijsPerkums Good point. Did not test this with Explorer although it’s an obvious test. I just needed an application to work correctly and tested it by creating a file using cmd.exe and opening it with notepad, as well.

[Andre Sicking @andre_sicking]

TIL: Overlong path names (>259) aren’t a problem anymore if you enable this feature in Win32 file and directory functions by just setting a registry key. This exists since Windows 10 Version 1607. https://t.co/msW4vxFjxb

@SoVeryBritish Last time in an UK roundabout (as a German) I was just called an Asshole … while sitting on the right. In a german car with the steering wheel on the left. What am I supposed to do in such situation 😅
