On server 2012, we used scheduled tasks and a script to open the application on a timer before any users logged in, and then use 'WAIT' to keep the file lock open for 24 hours, then clean down at the end of the day, rinse repeat, just to keep the 'magic file handle' open and locked to a background process and not a user, but this is flaky at best, and isn't sustainable in the long run. Looks like 2016 still has issues with FCB.Īuto logoff will make it worse if it is indeed the FCB Issue, as as soon as the user holding the 'magic file handle' on the remote share closes the app, or logs out of RDS, the app will crash for numerous users. We don't have the luxury of running the application locally due to the need for shared files redirected across all servers in the RDS cluster, per deployment licencing costs (per server installed on) and load balancing, so 'deploy it locally' is not an option for us. Today we get the 'in page errors' and the same behaviour as if we were still accessing the app from WS 2012 RDS. Good to know it still does it with a server 2016 file server as well, as that was going to be our next troubleshooting step (upgrade file server).Īpp has worked for 2 months since upgrading to server 2016 on the RDS side of things with no issues.

We upgraded our rds 2012 cluster to 2016 specifically to address this issue, as Microsoft's solution for the issue as you posted above relating to FCB, is to upgrade to server 2016.

Server 2008 r2 application server delivering application to a ws 2016 rds cluster.Īpplication shortcuts are redirected for RDS users from a share on the server 2008 r2 app server. Is this sort of issue known? Is there any known workaround?

We are going to recommend our users now to configure auto-logoff (on idle) on their Windows Server 2016 RDS machines, no feedback yet on whether that helps. Network issues and ghost-sessions (users not logging off for days/weeks) seems to amplify this problem. It seems to be related to something like though there it claims this issue does not exist with WS2016 anymore. It is reproducible in parts of the program and it is not due to known/otherwise reproducible bugs. Windows Server 2016 fileshare delivers the application, in Windows Server 2016 RDS session (other machine) the app (managed) is launched, sometimes it fails with "has stopped working", no exception, nothing. Ever since some of our customers migrated to Windows Sever 2016 we got much more frequent (hard) crashes of our managed.
