Server 2012 RDS ‘there are no Remote Desktop License Servers available to provide a license.’

http://www.stopdoingitwrong.co.uk/server-2012-rds-there-are-no-remote-desktop-license-servers/

You verify your configuration is as expected, that you have valid CALs installed on a Server 2012 terminal server licensing server and that the RD Licensing Diagnoser doesn’t report any errors.

The issue may be that there is a bug with Server 2012 RDS session hosts where they will not look to the licensing server for CALs when the grace period ends. Microsoft are reportedly aware of this but as yet there is no KBA or hotfix for it.

The solution is to open the registry editor on the affected session hosts and browse to the following:

HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\RCM

If the ‘GracePeriod’ key exists you will need to delete it.

How can an unauthenticated user access a windows share?

http://serverfault.com/questions/51635/how-can-an-unauthenticated-user-access-a-windows-share

In my case, enabling the guest account and adding Everyone did not help (with a share on an older box with Windows Server 2008 SP2 in a domain and a Windows Server 2012 R2 machine from outside of the domain).

After following the excellent guide posted by Nikola Radosavljevic, anonymous access finally worked in my scenario.

Summary of steps:

Adding Everyone, Guest and ANONYMOUS LOGON to the permissions of the share.
Open the Group Policy Editor (e.g. by running gpedit.msc)
- Computer Configuration -> Windows Settings -> Security Settings -> Local Policies -> Security Options
- Accounts: Guest account status: Enabled
- Network access: Let Everyone permissions apply to anonymous users: Enabled
- Network access: Restrict anonymous access to Named Pipes and Shares: Disabled
- Network access: Shares that can be accessed anonymously: YOUR_SHARE_NAME

This error can occur when there are multiple versions of the .NET Framework on the computer that is running IIS, and IIS was installed after .NET Framework 4.0 or before the Service Model in Windows Communication Foundation was registered.

Resolution

For Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008, use the ASP.NET IIS Registration Tool (aspnet_regiis.exe,) to register the correct version of ASP.NET. For more information about the aspnet_regiis.exe, see ASP.NET IIS Registration Tool.

To register the correct version of ASP.NET

On the computer that is running Microsoft Dynamics NAV Web Server components, open a command prompt as an administrator as follows:
1. From the Start menu, choose All Programs, and then choose Accessories.
2. Right-click Command Prompt, and then choose Run as administrator.
At the command prompt, type the following command to change to the Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319 folder, and then press Enter.
Copy
cd\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319
At the command prompt, type the following command, and then press Enter.
Copy
aspnet_regiis.exe -iru

Font Size Decreases When Export to PDF in Crystal Report

If barcode size is not what you expect when export to PDF in Crystal Report, you need to look no further for solution.

To fix the bug, just follow steps below by adding 2 registry keys.

1. Select Start > Run. Type regedit and click OK.

2. For Crystal Reports 2008, Expand HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Business Objects\Suite 12.0\Crystal Reports\Export.

For Crystal Reports 11.0, Expand HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Business Objects\Crystal Reports.

For Crystal Reports 10.0, Expand HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Crystal Decisions\10.0\Crystal Reports\Export

For Crystal Reports 9,0, Expand HKEY_CURRENT_USER\software\crystal decisions\9.0\Crystal Reports\Export

3. Right-click the Export folder and select New > Key. This creates a new folder. Name the new folder PDF.

4. Right-click the PDF folder and select New > DWORD Value.

5. Name this 'ForceLargerFonts' with no quotes and note that it is case sensitive.

6. Double-click ForceLargerFonts and change the Value data to 1 and click OK.

7. Close all the registry folders and expand the following registry For Crystal Reports 2008, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Business Objects\Suite 12.0\Crystal Reports.

For Crystal Reports 11.0, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Business Objects\Suite 11.0.

For Crystal Reports 10.0, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Crystal Decisions\10.0\Crystal Reports

For Crystal Reports 9.0, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Crystal Decisions\9.0\Crystal Reports

8. Right-click the Crystal Reports folder and select New > Key. Name this key Export.

9. Right-click the Export folder and select New > Key. This creates a new folder. Name this folder PDF.

10. Repeat steps 4 through 6.

11. Close the Registry Editor and restart Crystal Reports.

After adding these two registry keys, Crystal Reports won't have this font size problem any more.

However, if you want to generate barcode in Crystal Reports from IIS server, you need to modify permissions of these registry keys.

IIS security model prevents the application pool identity to read those registry entries by default.

Open Windows application Regedit and browse to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Business Objects\Suite 12.0\Crystal Reports\Export\PDF

Right click the key and choose “Permissions” from context menu.

Add in default IIS user account. Usually it's IUSR_MachineName.
