Enable logon removes NT AUTHORITYAuthenticated Users from local remote desktop users group

If you Prohibit Logons Only from the App Centre on a Server and have NT AUTHORITYAuthenticated Users added to Local Remote Desktop Group , when you enable the Logon from App Center , the NT AUTHORITYAuthenticated Users group is removed from the Local Remote Desktop Group.

As a result none of the users are able to launch applications.

Cause

The issue is directed to Microsoft as this is evident on a Non Citrix Server which has Remote Desktop Services Role Installed.

Resolution

To redirect the customer to Microsoft and verify this issue is not related to Citrix complete the following steps:

  • Install Remote Desktop Services role on a Non Citrix Server.
  • Run the following Query from the command prompt:

Chlogon.exe /Drain

  • Check Status of the Chglogon by running the Command:

Chglogon.exe /Query

  • Enable Chglogon.exe /Enable.
  • Check to see Local Remote Desktop Group on the server NT AUTHORITYAuthenticated Users is missing.

Workaround

Add Domain Domain Users instead of NT AUTHORITYAuthenticated Users.
