No multiple concurrent logins in a VM configuration. (Goal: Azure setup)

flickfeeder opened this issue 7 years ago · comments

I'm connecting (or trying) a Windows 10 N Enterprise VM on a Windows Server 2016 host. All are up to date and the wrapper config / installation looks fine. But as soon as I try to connect another session I get asked to disconnect my current session, as if no wrapper would be active. The screenshot shows it all:

The last time (two weeks ago) I configured the same setup but on 'real' instead of virtual hardware and then all was fine.
My goals is to run a 'rdp wrapped' Windows 10 VM on Azure. Yes I could run session directly on the server instead of on the VM but my use case does not allow me to do so. I other words I really like to have it on a virtualized Windows 10 installation.
The virtualization should have no influence as far as my reasoning goes (Since I'm connecting to the VM's RDP and not the Server)... Any clues what's going on here?

Are you using the same user (which logged in locally) for testing RDP?

No, I tried other useraccounts, I tried with rdpcheck, I tried with 'Single session per user' unchecked. All results in popping up the disconnection request like in the screenshot :(

are you using remoteFX at your guest-machine?

Yes I do, is that the problem? I'm able to test later on today!

Yep, see this issue: #127 and try disable RemoteFX.

Oops - I tested and you are completely right! Now I just wonder if the same behaviour occurred when I connected to the bare metal (non-VM) install of Windows 10... Contrary to what many believe, RemoteFX between two Windows 10 (since RDP8 I thought) is possible.
Some indications that RemoteFX is enabled (besides the performance enhancement) are:

an event has been logged telling a RemoteFX connection has been initialized
in the connection bar a connection info icon is visible:
resizing the screen is only possible to fixed resolutions (I assume the ones supported by the host GPU), opposed to any resolution when RemoteFX is not enabled.
Thank you very much @stamepicmorg and @binarymaster for helping me out!

Alright, closing as duplicate of #127.
