Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:

  • You have a Remote Desktop Session Host (RD Session Host) server that is running Windows Server 2008 R2.

  • You configure and enable the Turn on Remote Desktop IP Virtualization Group Policy setting in a Group Policy Object (GPO) in an Active Directory domain environment.

  • You apply the GPO to the RD Session Host server.

  • You try to update the Group Policy settings on the RD Session Host server.

In this scenario, updating the Group Policy settings fails on the RD Session Host server. When this issue occurs, you cannot manage the RD Session Host server by using Group Policy or by using other management software such as Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007. Additionally, the RD Session Host server cannot communicate with the domain controllers in the same domain.

Cause

The issue occurs because the IP Virtualization Client (Tsvipcli.dll) on the RD Session Host server cannot find a certain Winsock provider in the protocol chain in some cases. This behavior causes the socket connection request to fail. Therefore, the RD Session Host server cannot connect to domain controllers to update Group Policy settings.
