Achieving remote desktop, like in Windows. Is it possible?

I've been googling abit on this subject but can't find a good answer it seems.
I want to set up a remote desktop on my server where users can connect remotely (starting at gdm, kdm or what ever display manager that works) and log in to their desktop on a session of their own. E.g. the same way that remote desktops in windows works where multiple users can log in and do work simultaneously. Is there a reasonably easy way to do this in Linux?
The closest I've seen is using x11vnc but I'm not sure that it will work the way I want. Or will it?

Then run tsclient (I think the default is in /usr/local/bin folder).
But rdesktop is only a client for accessing windows terminal server... isn't it? Or is there a linux server available as well, because that is really what I'm looking for?

seems strange to me thou. i stick to good old ssh X-forwarding or port-forwarding + vnc.
€: btw you don't need to compile rdesktop, its in the arch repos.

  • Cannot use Remote Desktop host on Windows 8.1 Pro, termsrv corrupted?

    Hello,
    Few days ago I upgraded my home desktop machine from Windows 8.1 to Windows 8.1 Professional so I can use the Remote Desktop feature.
    I enabled everything needed, checked "Allow computers to connect to this computer" from the Remote Settings, forwarded the port 3389 in my rounter and allowed it in my firewall etc...
    But I still can't connect to this computer from outside my home network or inside it. The error I get trying to connect is this:
    (For some reason i still can't post images in this forum...) So I posted a link below to my original thread with the images
    I'm trying to connect using a laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium.
    After searching around I found out that the service responsible for the RDP is called "TermService", I found it on my services but was unable to start it:
    (For some reason i still can't post images in this forum...) So I posted a link below to my original thread with the images
    Also, notice the description of the service. So I tried to run a System File Checker on the service's DLL (sfc /scanfile=c:\windows\system32\termsrv.dll) and got this log:

    Since it's the first time I use this tool I'm not familiar with this log file, but what I managed to figure out from it is that termsrv.dll is corrupted and windows cannot repair it for some reason.
    My question is:
    How can I repair this file? Is this even the problem preventing me from connecting to this computer via Remote Desktop?
    Here's a link to my original question which contatining the images.
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows8_1-system/cannot-use-remote-desktop-host-on-windows-81-pro/e4776239-4d9e-4934-ae2d-b87cc09f7ade

    managed to figure out from it is that termsrv.dll is corrupted and windows cannot repair it for some reason.
    So, the next step supposedly is
    using  DISM.
    Coincidentally I reached that page last night from
    this one, which I thought gave me a better awareness of how much manual repair might be possible.  E.g. maybe the WinSxS isn't quite as fragile as we are being led to believe?  (It's making me feel sort of like how I used to feel about the
    registry when seeing all the caveats about using RegEdit before I got used to that tool.)
    Advanced guidelines for diagnosing and fixing servicing corruption
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee619779(v=WS.10).aspx 
    Something else that I became aware of yesterday serendipitously is SxStrace.exe.  I have never seen it used but it sounds useful.  E.g. perhaps easier to interpret for supplemental clues than the ProcMon trace that I usually advocate. 
    Or perhaps use both and see in ProcMon when the SxStrace is writing.   E.g. filter with  Operation Is WriteFile.
    However, what I would do first is find out what the state of your system is regarding that module.  E.g. try this Powershell pipeline to list what you have.
    PS C:\windows> dir -R -Fil "termsrv.dll" | sort-object FullName | ft Length, FullName -AutoSize
    Note that I am giving you the whole command line, including prompt to show where the command should be started from.
    C.f. another thread where doing the same diagnostic procedure seems to be finding more a problem with the Windows Update software than with the user's WinSxS cache.

    If I didnt join any domain, it prompt me I must join a domain.
    Anyone can advise me? provide me a steps by steps guide will be perfect!
    Thanks 

    Hi GP_IT001,
    In your current network do you currently have a domain controller? You mentioned that you "had" a Domain Controller running Windows Server 2003.
    Am I correct in thinking that you no longer have this server?
    As this article mentions:
    https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/f3d0543a-edab-4eb2-8360-3658a3351bb0/licensing-issue?forum=winserverTS
    You will need a domain environment which means you'll need a server that is a domain controller, and I believe that it will also need to operate Windows Server 2012 or above. You could, if you wanted, setup a new server (virtual or physical) as a domain
    controller and use that if you wish.
    Best regards,

  • Sharing local devices with remote computers like in Windows Remote Desktop

    Morning all,
    I'm attempting to access my local machine's CD drive on the remote computer across Apple Remote Desktop. It's ubiquitously possible even in the Windows Remote Desktop Client for OS X but for the life of me can't figure out how to share my drive over the network with a remote client.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks

    By Remote Desktop, I literally meant from the remote computer. So let me rephrase..
    After I've enabled CD/DVD sharing, while I'm in Apple Remote Desktop controlling the remote computer, can I access my CD/DVD drive remotely?
    Or to be even clearer, could a remote user on that machine access my CD/DVD drive and how?

  • Remote Desktop Connection to Windows 8 PC from other computers crashing

    Hi all.
    Was hoping someone would be able to help me with an issue I'm having.
    I'm trying to get a LAN remote desktop connection established to my Windows 8 laptop. It's an HP ENVY 17t-2100 CTO 3D Edition Notebook PC. Note that I'm running Windows 8 Pro only - not 8.1 as HP haven't released 8.1 graphics drivers for this laptop and probably
    never will. The computer has a single user profile that has full administrator rights.
    I have followed numerous web tutorials on how to turn on Remote Desktop. I've gone into Advanced System Settings > System Properties > Remote > checked "Allow Remote connections to this computer". All seems ok to me. 
    The problem comes when I try to establish a connection. When the connection is made, it almost instantaneously crashes the session on the computer or device trying to connect. The RDP client on my Windows 7 laptop, Mac OSX or Mac running Windows 8.1 Pro just
    crashes, while the RDP iPhone or iPad app simply flickers for a few seconds then goes back to the main screen. Meanwhile, the HP ENVY loads the lock screen and displays a message saying XXX device is connected remotely and it won't let me log back in to kill
    the connection or do anything. I have to restart the computer from then to be able to use it again.
    I'm convinced there's not a problem with my local network as the HP ENVY can RDP into the Windows 7 laptop or Mac running Windows 8.1 without any problems. All computers are connected via Ethernet to a Linksys/Cisco wireless ADSL modem router which supports
    Gigabit. The iPhone and iPad of course connect to the wifi network from the Cisco/Linksys modem router
    I've also had a brief look at the RDP local connection logs. From what I can make out, they confirm that a user has successfully logged in, but they don't provide a crash log or a log of the user ever disconnecting, probably because I have to restart the computer
    to continue using it. Dead end there, it seems.
    The HP ENVY is connected to 3 external HP LED monitors. I've disconnected them and tried all devices with no luck. I've also played round with the RDP client settings to not mount drives or printers and the HP ENVY has no printers connected anyway, though I've
    done all I can to remove any printer drivers as I've read elsewhere that they are what could cause the problem, but I've had no luck. 
    If anyone can suggest anything more that I can try, I would be unbelievably grateful! I'm more than happy to provide screenshots or videos of what happens when I try connecting. I'm not sure what you experts would find immediately helpful so just ask away if
    you think I can provide anything.
    Thanks in advance!
    rugbyreff

    The first thing that I would try is to uncheck all of the boxes for local resources on computer running the RDP client. It is possible that a device, such as a printer or other redirected device, is causing the crash. You can also look under Event Viewer
    in the event logs of both systems and see if anything unusual appears when you attempt the remote connection.

    Hi Brandon
    Many thanks for your suggestions. There's nothing in the logs that I could find, like I said in the original post. I've also tried connecting with bare minimum settings on all devices (FYI the iPad and iPhone version don't support the use of printers) and
    this still hasn't helped.
    If you have any other ideas I'd be very glad to hear them!

  • Remote Desktop Gateway on Windows Server 2012 R2 and IPAD

    Hi guys,
    Would love some help with an issue I been struggling for a couple of days now.
    I have a RDS 2012 R2 Gateway configured and it works great with all Windows clients both internal and external communication. The problems comes now when my I want to use  IPAD
    from APPLE. I installed latest RD Client from Microsoft and it works great from the internal network but as soon the device is moved to an external network the client get an error while connecting. Gateway is located in the domain network.
    The error is “Failed to parse authorization Challenge”,
    This is what I see in the log file from the RD Client.

    Hi Jeremy,
    I found a solution, thanks for you effort. The solutions is the following.
    First thing that needs to be done is either solution from options below, I did the Solution 1 in my case and added a NPS server to AD. (https://blogs.technet.com/b/networking/archive/2010/01/14/remote-desktop-gateway-client-fails-authentication-with-your-user-account-is-not-authorized-to-access-the-rd-gateway.aspx)
    Solution 1
    Register the NPS server in Active Directory:
    In Server Manager, browse to the following location: Roles\Network Policy and Access Services\NPS (Local).
    Right click on the NPS (Local) node and choose Register server in Active Directory.
    Click OK to authorize the server when prompted.
    Solution 2
    Open Active Directory Users and Computers on any Domain Controller of the same domain as the Remote Desktop Gateway.
    Add the Computer Name of the Remote Desktop Gateway to the RAS and IAS Servers group.
    Situation B
    Restart the RDS host and Gateway server.
    Secondly and the most important is to configure an alternate address that match your public certificate. My public certificate CNAME is “remote.domain.se”.
    All commands need to be run as administrator in PowerShell
    To show you current configuration run the following commands:
    CollectionName is the Collection Name you created for the RDS deployment.
    To get your collection name type
    Get-RDSessionCollection
    When you got the collection name type
    Get-RDSessionCollectionConfiguration -CollectionName "RDS - Terminal Server" | FL *
    The default configuration will look like this:
    CustomRdpProperty     : use redirection server name:i:1
    No to add you public domain name that match the certificate run the following command
    Set-RDSessionCollectionConfiguration –CollectionName " RDS - Terminal Server " -CustomRdpProperty "use redirection server name:i:1 `n alternate full address:s:remote.domain.se
    Run again to verify your settings
    Get-RDSessionCollectionConfiguration -CollectionName "RDS - Terminal Server" | FL *
    Now it show look something like this
    CustomRdpProperty     : use redirection server name:i:1
                             alternate full address:s:remote.domain.se
    IPADs and iPhones can now connect to your environment.

  • Can I use Remote Desktop to run Windows software from my Mac

    Here's what I want to do:
    1) Set up a small office LAN with an Apple Xserve as the file server; clients are mostly iMacs but a few PCs.
    2) There are one or two software apps I need that exist only in the Windows world (such as a good document comparison software like DeltaView).
    3) I want to have one dedicated PC for my one or two essential Windows apps and then run Remote Desktop Connection on my Mac client to launch the Windows app on the PC client and use it to edit or otherwise manipulate a data file stored on the server.
    Is this possible?

    Thanks for your prompt reply.
    OK, maybe I'm missing something basic but then why would I ever want to run Windows network in my office? The bugbear about Macs is that there is certain Windows software for which there is no good Mac equivalent. But you are telling me that as long as I have a couple of Windows boxes, I can run my Windows software on them through my Mac, even though the data files are stored on an separate box (an Xserve).
    Now, for the $64 question -- is it possible to set up a network in such a way that I could use RDC on my PowerBook in, say, Chicago to run the software installed on the Windows box and in turn to open and manipulate the files stored on the Xserve in my office, halfway across the world in Abu Dhabi? Would this be a particularly difficult configuration?
    Thanks,

  • Remote Desktop Connection in Windows 8

    Hi, I can't seem to figure out how to make my local drives available when using the app Remote Desktop Connection on my Windows 8. All the instructions I found on Microsoft do not apply to Windows 8 http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc728050(v=ws.10).aspx
    .  Or else I can't find this "Options" tab they're talking about. 

    The program doesn't come up in a window anything like that. It's full screen with only the option to connect to a server. And in settings there are no options that resemble that.
    Hi,
    Could you please snapshot about RDC with us? Mine is shown as below

  • Is there a way to access my Mac via remote desktop from a Windows machine?

    Hi, I'm lookinf for a way to connect from work to my Mac at home. I can do this using VNC and it works, but it is freaking slow! I also dont want to use the Chrome remote dekstop plugin or TeamViewer, there must be a RDP client that can go from Windows to Mac.
    Does any of you have some recommendation!?

  • Dymo Labelwriter printers not working via Mac Remote Desktop connection into Windows Server 2008

    I'm having a really hard time getting Dymo labelwriters (models 335 turbo and 450 turbo) to work over a remote desktop connection and I'd appreciate any help you can offer.
    To briefly describe the situation, I'm working for a Doctor's office, moving their IT from a remotely-hosted environment where employees connect to their Windows Server 2008 virtual machines (hosted off-site) via Windows 7 machines through Microsoft's remote
    desktop software.
    The new setup will have new servers running in-house instead of remotely and will be based on Apple's Mac Mini machines running Windows 7 for some tasks through Parallels virtualization
    software running directly on each employee's Mac Mini.
    We have 3 of the Dymo 450 Turbo products and one 330 Turbo, each connected directly to a Mac Mini.
    Here's the problem: I have Microsoft's Remote Desktop software running on the Macs natively, connected to each employee's virtual machine on the remote server for now, until the time comes to make the switch to using the new in-house server. The remote desktop
    software works fine - employees are able to connect successfully and access their desktops fine. I have the "Forward Printing Devices" option checked in the Microsoft Remote Desktop app so that the hosted virtual desktops can see the local labelwriters.
    However, the Dymo Label software running on the remote server will not recognize that a labelwriter is present.
    If I go to the Printers and Devices window on the remote server, the labelwriter shows up fine, named "dymo labelwriter 450 turbo (redirected 10)" however running the Dymo Label software gives an error, "Dymo label says no printer connected:
    dymo label printer requires a dymo label printer be installed and connected ..."
    To try and narrow down the cause of the problem, on the same Mac, I ran Windows 7 via Parallels and set up a new remote desktop connection within that Windows VM. Just to be clear, instead of using the RDC software running in the Mac OS, this new connection
    is using a Windows virtual machine running on the same Mac, with the RDC being established from within that Windows VM. Again, I forward printing devices and the labelwriter shows up in Printers and Devices on the remote server as "dymo labelwriter 450
    turbo (redirected 10)" This time, the Dymo Label software recognizes the attached labelwriter and runs fine.
    I'd appreciate any advice you can give on why, as far as the remote server is concerned, a forwarded labelwriter from Microsoft remote desktop running natively on a Mac isn't recognized
    but it is if forwarded from within Windows, bearing in mind that the labelwriter shows up on the remote server in both instances and is called the same name in devices and printers.
    Sorry for the long-winded question. I hope you can help me.

    Hi,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
    Firstly please check whether you have driver capable for your printer with MAC MRD. Also I would like you to check with updated MRD version 8.0.9 for MAC OSX. 
    https://itunes.apple.com/in/app/microsoft-remote-desktop/id715768417?mt=12
    Because as you have commented it can work with windows RDP, so please also try to contact Dymo Labelwriter printer and inquire regarding the issue.
    Hope it helps!
    Thanks.

  • Remote desktop Shadow in Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1

    Hi All,
    i have a question about shadow remote desktop in windows 7, w8, w8.1. In those versions of windows, can i remote to client and client still keep their session and they can see which i do on their PC? It is the same VNC, teamviewer...
    Thanks & BRs,

    Hi,
    Seems Windows Remote Assistence can achieve your goal, after you are accepted by the remote person, you can connect to his computer, you can see the computer screen and chat with that person about what you both see. with "Request Control", you can also
    have some remote control permissions for mouse\keyboard\or even full control. This is available in Windows 7\8\8.1, for more information, you can refer to this link
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows/what-is-windows-remote-assistance#1TC=windows-7
