Apple remote desktop over vpn - not working

Hi,
I've been using ARD within my firewall and it's been working great.  I am currently traveling and logged in via VPN (PPPT) for the first time and although I can see the computers (two) that I want to log into, I am not able to connect to them.
I am able to access my file server fine, it just seems to be ARD that does not work...  I have an Asus RT-N66U as my router/VPN server.
HELP!!!!

have you tried scanning the network in ARD while connected via VPN

  • Remote Desktop & Screen Sharing not  working??

    Hello all,
    I am trying to connect to a friends computer via the Finder's Screen Sharing, I enabled the screen sharing preferences under the System Preferences, put the password, etc and had him do the same and I am not able to connect to his system. I'm sure there is something else I have to do in order to get this to work. In the Windows world I had to use the VNC. But, I remeber reading in a Snow Leopard book that this is all that had to be done in order for this to work.
    Best Regards,

    I know I could never get this working between two macs of the same OS (10.5.8) over the internet with the appropriate Sharing settings set up....
    Im guessing both Screen Sharing and Remote Access through iChat DO NOT work anywhere but in a LAN?

  • [Solved] Remote X over ssh not working

    Hello, I'm trying to forward X11 over ssh but it's not working.
    I type
    ssh -X 192.168.1.101
    followed by my password, and I log in just fine.
    I try to launch an X11 application and I get
    $kate
    kate: cannot connect to X server
    SSH is supposed to be forwarding a dummy $DISPLAY to allow remote X.  So I type
    $echo $DISPLAY
    and and get back a empty newline.
    Well how about
    $xinit
    Fatal server error:
    Server is already active for display 0
    If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock
    and start again.
    Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support
    at http://wiki.x.org
    for help.
    Okay, I'll shut down xserver.
    I do it, and type
    $xinit
    again.  KDE launches on my remote box.  It makes sense, but contradicts many guides I have read which say it should launch on my local machine.
    What am I doing wrong here?  This should be ridiculously simple.

    Did you enable X forwarding in your sshd config?
    Did you xhost + (or ssh -Y)?
    Did you crop your DISPLAY variable in a bashrc or similar script run at login?

  • Apple Remote Desktop via VPN

    At my office I have an iMac 2013 with ARD client 3.7.1
    At home I have an iMac 2013 with ARD 3.7.2
    I would like to connect from my iMac at home to my office iMac via VPN (Cisco IPSec) and ARD.
    According to my IT-department I'm behind the Firewall with a VPN connection, so they do not have to set any ports.
    The connection to my office is made and I see my office iMac in the list (scanner).
    Everything is also set right in system preferences and Remote Management is checked on my office iMac.
    When I try to observe, curtain or control my office Imac it will not connect and after a while I get the message:
    "Check if Screen Sharing is enabled". This is rather strange because with ARD Screen Sharing has to disabled.
    When I try to send a file via ARD to my desktop on my office iMac, it is no problem and it arrive easily.
    I also see what my current used program is, I can empty my trash bin, etc. etc. But cannot control, observe or curtain.
    I also have a windows computer at my office and with same VPN connection and Microsoft Remote Desktop I can easily connect and control this computer from my Imac at home.
    Is there anybody who could help me and have the solution so I can control/obersve/curtain my office iMac via VPN and ARD.
    I'm searching for an answer on Internet for weeks now, but could not find a solution.

    I've got the exact same problem.
    I have tried to kickstart ARD on the 10.4.11 (Mac OS Server).
    Finder gets the "shared computers" icon available and says I can connect to the server with Screen Sharing. But it fails to connect when trying.
    Have checked for old Keychains (and recreated them).

  • Remote desktop credentials did not work

    Hi everybody...I've noticed quite a few problems with this around here, but my situation is far less complex. See I have a Surface Pro that I'm trying to use to remote access my desktop. My desktop is running Win Professional and has Norton 360 on it for
    security. I'm just running over my home network at the moment so I'm operating within the same WLAN. When I try to connect via my Surface Pro, after putting in my desktops computer name, I come to the point where I have to enter the credentials. This was pretty
    simple as I only have the one, So I put in my Admin log on info (just as I would to log on to my desktop normally). but after I do I get the dreaded "Your credentials didn't work" page. I've tried over and over again but It simply wont work. I have
    both PCs set up to accept Remote access, I have Remote Display cleared thru the Firewall, I even tried at one point to use the non- NLA just to see if it would work, but to no avail. I can't connect from my desktop rig to my surface either. When I try that
    I get "an authentication error has occured. The Local Security Authority could not be contacted", I saw in another forum that this could be due to an expired password, and even tho I assumed that was for a VPN access I ensured m,y passwords were
    new and that I was no longer using a PIN to unlock my Surface. I'm kind of expelled my options here, I thought this would be a simple click-n-play  considering I'm in home and not using any other software/servers/whathaveyou but this setup has beaten
    me. Can anyone help?

    On your local machine Open Windows command prompt type: gpedit.msc -> Press Enter -> a new window will popout
    Go to Local Computer Policy –> Computer Configuration –> Administrative Templates –> System –> Credentials Delegation
    Double Click on “Allow Delegating Saved Credentials with NTLM-only Server Authentication”
    By default it will be “not configured”
    You will see radio buttons -> Enable the policy
    Click the “Show” button in the options window below and enter the value “TERMSRV/*” (without quotes) into the list.
    Click Apply button
    Do the same thing for the following policies: 
    Allow Delegating Saved Credentials 
    Allow Delegating Default Credentials with NTLM-only Server Authentication 
    Allow Delegating Default Credentials
    Make sure that "Deny Delegating Saved Credentials" is not enabled or does not contain “TERMSRV/*” in the list
    Close all windows
    Open a command prompt and use “gpupdate /force” command to apply the policy directly.
    I had an issue with Windows 8 RDP not allowing a login unless the computer name was typed in, and the solution above worked perfectly.  Thank you! Thank
    you! Thank you!  Kev

  • Apple Remote Desktop 2.2 not able to do a storage report

    For some reason after updating to 10.4.7 i am unble to request a storage report to 1 or more computers. It comes back to me and says "Report database access not allowed" so im not sure where to begin. I can do a network test and i can chekc administration settings. Please help. Thanks

    Sounds like the permissions on the data base file have gotten messed up. Try doing a "Fix Permissions" from the Disk Utility.
    If that doesn't work, shut down the ARD Agent in the sharing panel, and in the terminal, as root, remove the database directory (rm -R /var/db/RemoteManagement).

  • 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...

  • Where is apple remote desktop?

    Where is apple remote desktop installed?

    Note that the administrator software for Apple Remote Destkop is not included with Mac OS X. You have to purchase it. It's available from the Mac App Store for $79 US if I remember the price correctly. Once installed, the administrator application will be the Applications folder.
    Regards.

  • Apple Remote Desktop and controlling over VPN

    Hi All,
    I had a question about whether something was possible and if so if someone could point me to instructions/how-to on setting it up.
    I have three Macs I am administering. One is an iMac that stays in the office on the network. Two are MBP's. One is always at a remote location, the other comes in and out of the office. I work remotely administering the server and the three systems. I have the latest version of Apple Remote Desktop and obviously can access the server fine. I was wondering though if there is any way besides having the person give me their IP address every time that through the VPN I can see their system, then access it in Remote Desktop just like we are on the network together? Basically they connect to the network via VPN if they are remote and I do the same thing and then access their machine.
    I hope that makes sense. I went through different parts of the guide for ARD but didn't come across a method like that described in there.
    Anyone with opinions? Thoughts? Chants of I'm an idiot? haha
    Thanks

    Yeah for some reason I cannot get this to work right. Even if I scan the 5 VPN IP's I have setup I cannot see their machines when I am connected to the VPN. I tested it the other day by connecting one of the systems to an outside internet connection, then logged it into the VPN. I then connected my own to a different source and logged into the VPN, but Remote Desktop just won't find it.
    Just not sure why it doesn't work. I can see the computers on our internal network though, just not any connected via VPN.

  • Apple remote desktop not working

    Just upgraded to Mavericks and can not use apple remote desktop.  I bought my copy of ARD from the store.  Anyway of getting this fixed?

    Hi ikarous79,
    If you are having issues with Apple Remote Desktop under Mavericks, you may want to make sure you have updated to ARD 3.7, which was just released recently. You may find the following article helpful:

  • How to configure apple remote desktop to work on 3g instead of wifi

    Hello,
    Can ARD be used with 3g to access my iMac from my macbook?
    If it can be done, could someone please help with info on how to do this or set it up?
    Thanks a lot..

    when you use ARD at home can it wake the iMac from sleep?
    What do you have the DLINK DIR-615 plugged into? (dsl modem, cable modem, extra)
    So there are a couple ways to connect to a computer behind a router such as the dlink. One option is you configure the iMac to be the DMZ. The nice thing about this is you don't have to configure any ports. the bad thing about this, is any service your hosting on the mac is internet excess-able. the 2nd option is to configure specific ports on your router to be sent to the iMac. This give you more control over what services are access-able on the iMac over the internet; but it's also more work to setup.
    Here is the manual for DLINK DIR-615,
    page 32 explains how to setup a DMZ.
    pages 27 and 28 explains how to setup "port forwarding."
    Well known TCP and UDP ports used by Apple software products. if you chose the port forwarding, you'll probable need to use this document to figure out what ports you need to open. Here are some of the ports you would probable need to open. there would probable be other ports as well.
    3031
    TCP/UDP
    Remote AppleEvents
    eppc
    Program Linking, Remote Apple Events
    3283
    TCP/UDP
    Net Assistant
    net-assistant
    Apple Remote Desktop 2.0 or later (Reporting feature)
    5900
    TCP
    Virtual Network Computing (VNC)
    (Unregistered Use)
    vnc-server
    Apple Remote Desktop 2.0 or later (Observe/Control feature)
    Screen Sharing (Mac OS X 10.5 or later)
    5988
    TCP
    WBEM HTTP
    wbem-http
    Apple Remote Desktop 2.x (see http://www.dmtf.org/about/faq/wbem)
    I'm not sure if the time capsule will be able to wake the computer over the internet; because it's not the router. the DLINK is.
    Keep in mind, that even if you do configure your mac to be reach-able over the internet. Most internet connections change IP address. That's call DHCP. in short it's like trying to reach some one who hangs around different pay phones, but doesn't have a cell phone. In short, you can't really reliably get ahold of such a person.
    If you call your internet provider they can tell you if your internet connection is static or DHCP.
    If it is, there are things you can setup to bridge the gap between static and DHCP. That's called dynamic DNS, But ones you look at the cost of such a service; your probable going to find logmein cheaper, and an easier to configure solution. Because you don't have to mess around with your router, or configure port forwarding, or mess around with dynamic DNS.
    You might even find out to run dynamic DNS your going to have to have your iMac always turn on any way. It's not that hard to configure your imac to be on, but have the screen off.
    good luck

  • Why is it not possible to install apple remote desktop (from appstore bought earlier) on my new imac 21?

    why is it not possible to install apple remote desktop (from appstore bought earlier) on my new imac 21?

    hello Dahveed, thanks for your reply, i solved it with the help of the migration assistant from another mac - now it works (but before as more info: for my new imac it was not possible to install apple remote desktop from appstore (the install-button not available, the same as installed already...) - and i don't know why...? - is it possible that the reason is the number of owned macs?)

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • Apple remote desktop will not show my  computer screen on class screens

    Hi
    I hope someone can help. i have just set up a mac suite running latest OS X 10.10 using apple remote desktop. The system is a bit sensitive but mostly works fine. The odd computer drops off etc.
    However, I want to be able to show the teacher computer on all of the class screens as the projector screen is quite small at the front of the class. When I set up screen share it says it is working but it does not show on their screens. They do get a screen sharing message on the menu bar of their computers but nothing happens. Am I missing a setting? I think I am doing right!
    thanks
    Tim

    Hi jsyedu129,
    Wondering if you found a solutions to your problem. I'm having the same problem. Can't not share my screen with classroom computers. Love to know if you have got this to work.
