1 Aug 2015: Changelog AADS Terminal Server (Build 116.1)

Windows 10

AADS is available for Windows 10.

Update AADS Enterprise

• Every version of AADS Enterprise is updated because of the SSL libraries used for the SSL Gateway.
• Some updates in the Load Balancing algorithm. When using default MS-RDP client software on Windows Clients, the Farm is improved when doing its Load Balancing job.

Bug fix

The AADS Firewall did "over react" when it detected an invalid connection to the Terminal Server. This invalid connection might be a "hack attempt" or a virus. Viruses for example can include a RDP-client such to give the hacker remote access to the Terminal Server. It might also be caused by some third-party tool like LogMeIn, Teamviewer, or some VNC client. Such a third-party tool might attempt an (invalid) RDP-connection as part of their functionality: offer 1 remote desktop.

The AADS Firewall did "over react" by disconnecting not only the invalid connection but also OK-connections of normal users.

Please note: this bug is now fixed in AADS Terminal Server. But this bug did indicate some other problem: "something" was doing an invalid connection, an attempt to bypass the Firewall, and that is a problem:

• Be sure to use an uptodate virus scanner for Windows.
• Do not run a Terminal Server without a disabled Firewall.
• Do not use VNC, Teamviewer, LogMeIn, etc. These tools do consider that Windows is single user, single logon, single desktop. Because of that, once in a while we receive support emails where these pieces of software have reverted the settings AADS does. AADS has settings such that Windows becomes multi-user, multi-desktop, multi-login. These tools do occasionally revert Windows back to single user, single logon, single desktop.
