Apple Remote Desktop Can't Connect to an Xserve running 10.5

I was upgrading an Xserve with dual G5 processors from OS-X serve10.4 to 10.5. I've got a keyboard and monitor plugged into the Xserve. Apple Remote Desktop v3.5 can't connect with the Xserve. File sharing on the server is checked to allow it. The ARD ports seem to be open on the server. .When ARD scans our network computers, the Xserve says Access Denied next to it. When I try to connect it says something like "Unable to Verify." Any ideas what the issue might be?
Thanks

Well the File Sharing service would not have anything to do with remoting in. Have you checked Remote Managed and checked to see if the accounts listed with access have everything checked off?
Did the local admin password of the server change? Can you ping the server?

Apple remote desktop can click little snitch

I have set up apple remote desktop over the net and I am trying to admin the computer but when I am trying to run a program, I can not control little snitch firewall and click to let the program connect to the internet. why cant apple remote desktop click the settings in little snitch that pop up when an app wants to connect to the internet? I thought we were suppose to have total control?

I have observed the same problem with Little Snitch on the client Mac. Everything else on the client is responsive except the LS dialog box. To get around this, I have opened System Preferences -> Little Snitch and turned it off on the client. You just have to remember to turn it back on when your done.
It's not a solution, just a workaround...

IOS App 8.1.5 Remote Desktop can't connect to Windows 7 Pro after upgrade. Error 0x00000507

Nothing has changed between my network, Windows 7 computer or my iPad besides the upgrade of the ios app software to 8.1.5. Did not used to have any issues connecting but now when I try to connect, I get the above error when logging in.
I have tried reinstalling the ios app with no success and also confirmed I can still remote desktop to the PC from another PC with the credentials I've always been using.
I've also tried explicitly including the domain when entering the username with no luck. Looked through my Windows 7 event logs and can't find any more information on what this error means.
Has anyone seen anything similar or have any ideas what I can do to troubleshoot? Thanks!

Hi,
I have a same problem.
Although RD Client 8.1.4 worked great, now I cannot connect to Windows 7 Professional computer from my iPhone 5 (iOS 6.1.4) since the latest update.
Same as Twiggles, when I try to log in (just after entering username and password), the app gives me error code 0x507 "Disconnected from server".
Note that I connect to my PC over VPN using Cisco AnyConnect app.
After that, I've tried to connect to my PC in two different ways with same network settings as the above situation.
1. Use different remote app
I've tested free version of "PocketCloud" from Dell Wyse, and I CAN connect to my PC.
2. Use different version of iOS
I've tested the latest RD Client 8.1.5 on my another iPhone (5s) with iOS 8.1, and I CAN connect to my PC.
Therefore, I assume our 0x507 is not setting related, but probably some sort of iOS version dependent problem arise from the latest update.
Even though I tried PocketCloud, I believe RD Client is the BEST app for remote desktop for iOS.
I strongly hope this problem will be solved!
Thanks.

Apple Remote Desktop won't connect to 2 computers

I have a class- 30 computers- I have 2 computers that will not allow me to connect via Apple Remote. I have tried everything that I know of to try to connect to these two computers. My school district will not allow me to get into the File Sharing folder of the System Preferences, so I have to try a different way.
I have scanned, deleted IP address, added by IP address.... tried everything I know how to do... dynamite is now being loaded in my car to bring up here. -joke...
The current status said "Access denied" for the longest time on my monitoring screen. I deleted Remote application on these computers and re-installed it. At least now... it says "ARD NOT ACTIVE"...so I think I might be getting somewhere.
Two other quick things... the other 28 computers in my classroom show the Mac OS version 10.4.8(8L2127) and the machine model on my monitoring screen, while my non-functioning computers do not display this information. I tried Bonjour, IP address, and network address and so on.
If there is anyway to get around this other than File Sharing... please help.
For some reason, all the other computers have always worked, but these two have a poltergeist or something.
G-5 Mac OS X (10.4.8)
G-5 Mac OS X (10.4.8)
G-5 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Same problem here. I manage several remote Macs, but I have one MacBook which I can get no ARD access to (black icon). I can ping the IP, I can SSH into the MacBook, the ARD and Remote Login services are checked ON, the firewall is OFF. The ARD service is configured to allow my admin user full access - however, I get nothing. I have no trouble getting into the other Macs.
Any ideas?

How many instance of remote desktop can i connect concurrently or can i connect the machine on remote and also work locally?

I am using windows server 2008 r2 edition. i want to know how many remote computers can connect to the server at a time and also can i use the machine locally when it is already connected to a remote desktop.
Amit Mukim

Hi
when you are locally logon on server 1 rdp connection can connect with Full remote desktop,But 2 active Remote session can connect on server 2008 r2 at the sametime without RDP service role.
If you deploy remote desktop service role on the Server 2008 r2 it depends your current RDP licence.
Detailed information RDP licence;

Apple Remote Desktop can't possibly run this slow - please help!

Running ARD 3.2 on MacBook Pro 2.4ghz w/ 4GB RAM, trying to access a iMac 2.1ghz w/ 2.5GB RAM via internet connection (DSL speeds). The iMac has ARD 3.2.1.
I have made a flat-color desktop on the iMac, closed out all non-essential programs freeing up RAM on both machines, closed all windows on both machines, matched the screens to Millions of Colors on both machines - and when I connect from the MacBook Pro, it may take 30-40 seconds for the screen to draw, and even longer to open up a folder located on the desktop. Copying small files (500k) takes so long, I gave up after 10 minutes.
ARD can't possible operate this slow, so I am assuming I am missing something here. Any insight would be appreciated!

Hi
Typically upstream and downstream speeds for broadband connections disparate. For instance Downstream speeds can sometimes reach 7-8mbps or more. Upstream on the other hand is probably no more than a tenth of that.
How you connect will also have a bearing. Using a wired connection to the local network is going to be better than a wireless one generally speaking.
Unless you have the finances to pay for an SDS Service or a service that offers 1:1 ratio this won't change and you have to put up with it. I reguarly connect remotely and see this most of the time. I select a graphic level that is as low as possible but still allows me to see what is going on. Even then it can be slow.

Apple remote desktop can't login in to mobile user

I've set up a mobile account which is been used with admin rights on a PowerBook (10.5.8). So far I've only been able to connect with ARD from my MacBook with another mobile account (10.6.2) when an additional local user is also installed on that PowerBook using that login. The mobile accounts are set up on an mac mini server running 10.6.2 server.
Can I delete the local user on the PowerBook and will I still be able to access it with ARD/screen sharing?

After learning that apple changed the preset user groups everthing worked:

Apple Remote Desktop and Bluetooth

Hi, does anyone know if Apple Remote Desktop can be connected between two computers over a bluetooth equipped Mac computers. Thank you very much.

Does anyone know if Apple Remote Desktop can be connected between two computers over a bluetooth equipped Mac computers.
No, it can't.
can two Macintosh computers use Apple Remote Desktop by Apple Talk or any other form of connection except the internet.
ARD cannot use AppleTalk. The Internet is not necessary, of course, but a TCP/IP network is required.

Apple Remote Desktop 3.7.1 Install not validated by App Store

I'm writing this incase anyone else happends to find them selves in a similar situation.
Problem: Upgrading to Mavericks forced an upgraded to Apple Remote Desktop 3.7.1. Whatever links it had to purchased apps in the App Store were broken and I was prompted by a registration window when I opened the ARD.
Solution: I copied Apple Remote Desktop 3.7 from my MacBook Pro running OSX 10.8 and replaced the effected copy instaled Mavericks upgrade. For whatever reason this corrected the issue updated the copied 3.6.1 ARD app to 3.7.1 and repaired the App Store purchased links.

I agree the new Remote Desktop 3.7.1 is very laggy. All my machine are up to date with patch, same issue..

Apple Remote Desktop installation serial number is not saved.

I upgrade my Imac and used the Migration Assistant to move the data and the applications. All went well, all applications were moved to the new machine and seem to work properly Except the apple remote desktop.
The problem is when I run Apple RD3, I get a dialog box requiring the serial number which I entered . The Remote desktop then works properly until I close it and then the next time when I try to run the program the same dialog box requests that I re-enter the serial number. The setup process does not maintain that the serial number has been installed.
I hoping that someone will help in resolving this issue.
Thank in advance for any info.
Michael

After searching forum more I was able to resolve this problem by deleting the
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.RemoteDesktop.plist file
The next launch of the RD3 I had to enter the SN again, but this time it worked and remember that it has been done already

Struggling with Remote Desktop to Windows 8.1 Guest OS running Win 8.1 Pro Hyper-V

Host: Windows 8.1 Professional with Hyper-V
Guest: Windows 8.1
Networking:
Host is running wifi
Created a internal network that is bridged to WIFI.
Host can connect to internet.
Guest can connect to internet.
Problem:
Cannot RDP from host to guest.
Note:
- Guest allow remote management is turned on
- Tried with firewalls turned off
- ping from host to guest works
- ping from guest to host works
What can I do?

The message is a generic one
Remote Desktop can't connect to the remote computer for one of these reasons:
1) Remote access to the server is not enabled
2) The remote computer is turned off
3) THe remote computer is not available on the network
Make sure the remote computer is turned on and connected to the network, and that remote access is enabled
Just to note:
- I did enable remote access in guest (but maybe it did not work)
- remote computer (guest) was turned on (VM was running)
- remote computer could be pinged. Perhaps there were other problems in routing traffic into the guest

Can I use Apple Remote desktop to connect over the internet?

I would like to use Apple Remote Desktop to connect back to my MacPro desktop at home while I am on my Macbook Air at work. Will I need a static IP from my service provider to do it.

Hi
It's not absolutely necessary but it would be more useful if you did have one. Most ISPs will require you to have a business class broadband service at your home rather than a residential one. These cost more (a lot more in some cases) than a residential service. Call your home location's ISP and discuss it with them.
If the cost is too much then you could go for a DynDNS account which is free. The details of this account would be configured in the whatever you're using as a firewall at your home's location. This assumes the firewall has the facility to add such an account. Thereafter it's just a question of configuring the port fowarding feature of that firewall.
A potentially 'big' problem though is whether or not your workplace will allow that kind of traffic out of their network. This would be something you'd need to discuss with them first.
HTH?

Can't get Apple Remote Desktop to work

I cannot get apple remote desktop to recognize my lab computers. It only recognizes one in there and all the info is the same on the others. It sees them but it says they are offline when I have them all on and ready. I did an update to make sure they were up to speed. I am running ARD 3.5.2 on mine and 3.5.2 on the snow leopard macs and there are some just leopard macs in there running 3.4.
Thank you in advance.

Sorry, but no, ARD does not have a "remote printing" feature. You can use ARD to copy a file to a remote Mac and than take control of that Mac to print the document, but you cannot print directly to the remote Mac (unless someone else here knows a trick I've not discovered).
Depending on how your wife's company has things set up in their connection to the Internet, she may be able to just set up printer sharing on the work computer and print directly without needing ARD at all. A utility such as Slink may make that easier:

I use Slink and it works quite well.

How can I remotely access my computer from a different location on Apple Remote Desktop?

I downloaded Apple Remote Desktop and am trying to access our computer at our church that is in the auditorium and work on slides for ProPresenter from my office which is on a different network. The Mac Pro, which is in the auditorium, is connected to a Netgear wireless router. I would also want to be able to have access to observe and control the screen on the Mac Pro whether I am in my office or at my house. I have tried everything from going to portforward.com, followed those instructions, did port forwarding, used ipchicken.com to get my external IP and made sure that the Mac Pro had a static internal IP address and made sure the computer had access for remote management. Any help to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated! Works fine when it is on the same wireless network, but I need access being on a different wireless network. Thanks!

Hi austinmac14,
So the steps listed bellow assume some things. They assume that the Airport Extreme Router your configuring is connected directly to the internet connection. And that the Airport Extreme is the only router between your computers and the internet.
That means we're talking about say a DSL modem plugged directly into the Airport Extreme, or a cable modem. in ether case, this assumes that said modem, is not acting as an internet router.
If your modem has multiple ethernet ports on it, or has a little antenna sticking out of it, then your modem is probable also a router, and these steps listed bellow will probable not work.
Also these steps are so one person, can connect to one computer at your work.
Open Airport Utility:
go to the dock
Click on the finder
go to the menu bar
Click on the "Go" menu
Chose "Utilities" from the "Go" Menu
double Click on "AirPort Utility"
Access the Base Station:
Double Click on your Airport Extreme BaseStation that is your internet connection router.
a new window should pop up with your Airport Base Station as the Window Name
Configure Static Address for the computer you want to connect to via ARD:
Click on the internet Icon from the toolbar
Click on the "DHCP" tab
For "DHCP Reservations:" Click on the "+" button
For the "Description" put "ARD"
For "Reserve Address by:" set "DHCP Client ID"
Click the "Continue" button
For "DHCP Client ID:" set "ARD"
write down the number in "IPv4" address field
Click the "Done" Button
Configure routing to ARD computer:
Click on the "Advanced" icon from the tool bar.
Click on the "Port Mapping" tab
Click on the "+" button
for "Service:" Chose "Apple Remote Desktop"
for "Private IP Address:" copy the exact IP address you wrote down in step "3. 8)"
Click the "Continue" button
Click the "Done" button
Click the "+" button
For the pulldown menu "Service:" Chose "Remote Apple Events"
for "Private IP Address:" copy the exact IP address you wrote down in step "3. 8."
Click the "Continue" button
Click the "Done" button
Click the "+" button
For the pulldown menu "Service:" Chose "Remote Login - SSH"
for "Private IP Address:" copy the exact IP address you wrote down in step "3. 8."
Click the "Continue" button
Click the "Done" button
Click the "Update" button.
wait for the Airport Extreme to update, and for your computer to reconnect to the airport extreme. (make sure you can load and browse websites.)
Configure the ARD computer to use the correct IP address:
Go to the computer you want to be able to remotely connect to
On that computer, Go to the menu bar
Chose the "Apple" menu bar
Chose "System Preferences…"
Click on the "Show All" button
Click on the "Network" icon
For the active network connection, (the connection on the left side with the green dot), click on it
Clock on the "Advanced…" button
Click on the "TCP/IP" tab
for the "DHCP Cient ID: field put "ARD".
Click the "OK" button
Click the "Apply" buttonNOTE: Under "Status" you should see "(connection name) is connected to (airport base station name) and has the IP address (IP address)." the "(IP address)" address displayed should match the IP address you wrote down in step "3. 8."
Find out what your public internet IP address is.
On the computer you wish to connect to over the internet, gotohttp://whatismyipaddress.com/
when the web page loads, you should see "IP Information:" fallow by a number like 192.168.0.1, write down what ever number it is.
At this point you should be able to connect to the computer remotely
connect to the internet from another location.
open Apple Remote Desktop
go to the file menu
chose connect to computer using ip address
set the address to the address to the IP address you wrote down for step 6. 2.
use the same password as you used to connect to the computer at work using ARD.
So here the catch. If your router gets reset... well then your going to have to configure it again. Also all the same rules you have to connect to the computer at work, also apply to connecting to the computer from over the local network. That means your computer need to be on or sleeping. And if it's sleeping it need to be configure to wake for network access.
Also some network connections change. When it comes to internet connections, some connections are static IP, while other connections are DHCP. If your connection is static... great! if it's DHCP, your address may change. If it dose.. well then your ability to connect will break. And then you'd have to do step 6 & 7 again.
Of corse there are ways around this. But that's kind of another conversation.
Some internet locations may block your ability to connect to your computer at work. This is very common at schools, and companies. Basically any place that tries to control your ability to browse the internet, may block remote access to computers; because a remote computer would completely by pass their web filter.
ALSO there is an easier option. As far as setup. There are programs designed to make remotely accessing your mac as easy as possible. For instance there is LogMeIn or Slack. With both of these programs, it's simple. make sure your computer is always on. Then install the software. Create an account with the service. And then you can connect to the computer almost any where by going to their website.
This option requires no router configuration. It handles DHCP. It's designed to work in as many locations as possible.

If they have set up port forwarding for you already then that is different. In that case, then you could be experiencing the bug with the most recent release of ARD (3.7.2) and in particular ARD 3.7.2 and Yosemite ARD version 3.8 clients. It has been reported numerous times in the forums and to Apple that since 3.7.2, clients are frequently unavailable to connect to despite there being no network issue between the remote computer and client computer. I have not seen anyone report it who was working from outside the LAN to inside the LAN, but I have the same issue with a number of my own computers that are simply on a different subnet, so it stands rot reason that it would happen from a port forwarding location.
I am sometimes able to resolve the issue locally by SSH connecting into the client computer using Terminal on my admin machine and restarting or relaunching the ARD agent on the remote device, then trying to connect to it again after about 30 seconds.
The Terminal commands for this procedure are as follows, though you might need to include a port number from outside the LAN:
First:
ssh ipaddress -l adminusername
(example: ssh 192.168.1.1 -l macadmin)
Second:
sudo /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Resources/k ickstart -restart -agent
After that, waiting about 30 seconds and trying to observe or control usually works, though the computer may still fail to show an online or lit-up status indicator.
