Can ARD 3 be used for users who want to remote into a windows based server?

I have a couple users at the company I work at who will need to be able to remote into our Windows Server. These users all have Macs and will have to go about remoting in differently. I have done some research on Apple Remote Desktop but i am unsure if it fits my users needs. If I have someone download and install this software on a mac, will they then be able to remote into a windows based server using an IP address? that is my goal in mind could get some help on this one I'd appreciate it.
Thanks,

I'm referring to what windows can do via Remote Desktop connection.
You open up the RDC dialog box, enter an external IP address (if working remotely) or a server name if working internally and connect right to the machine. Ideally i want my users to be able to log into our terminal server and be able to use a program remotely. they will have to log on to this server with company credentials. Basically from a mac, connecting up to a Windows Server and remotely logging into it to perform tasks.
I'm really just trying to find an easy way to do this for my user's with MAC's since it is not as straightforward as in windows. I cannot test anything out at home since i do not own a mac so i come to the community to see if you guys have had the same kind of situation before.
ARD was the first peice of software that looked like it might fit my needs but if it doesn't is there anything out there? is it for free or for a cost? any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Can Work Folders be used for user home drives?

Looking to setup server based home drives for user data and wondering if Work Folders would work for that.

Hi,
Work Folders can be deployed with existing deployments of home folders. Work Folders stores user files in a folder on the server called a
sync share.We can specify a folder that already contains user data, which enables us to adopt Work Folders without migrating servers and data or immediately phasing out our existing solution.
Regarding work folder and how to deploy work folder, the following article and blog can be referred to for more information.

Steps to deploy Lync for users who own Office 365 E1/E2 licenses, but don't have Office 365 E3, using Office Deployment tool.

After many hours of debugging with Microsoft support the system to install the Lync Client silently can be done with a SINGLE LINE command. The steps to take are below. It should be an easy next step to put this as GPO installation since
it is a simple command.
Comments appreciated.
side question: Why is there no Lync 2013 or Lync Office 365 forum?
Basic steps to deploy Lync for users who own Office 365 E2 licenses, but don’t have Office 365 E3, using Office Deployment tool.
This also applies for other Office 365 service types where the full office suite download is not included. In April 2015 This was impossible to find online and not know by the Lync support team.
Steps are:
Download the Office deployment tool from
http://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/details.aspx?id=36778 and extract it to a folder. For this
example we will use the \\server\sharename
location.
Extracting it creates a setup.exe file and it show a sample XML file.
2. Create XML file and give it a name such as LyncEntryRetail.xml
Note: The key is the productID that has to be the “LyncEntryRetail”. Other product IDs will download a version that needs another office 365 license. The productID “LyncRetail” needs an E3 license of Office 365.
<Configuration>
<Add SourcePath="\\server\sharename" OfficeClientEdition="32" >
    <Product ID="LyncEntryRetail">
      <Language ID="en-us" />
    </Product>
</Add>
</Configuration>
3. From the folder where you extracted the Office deployment tool, run the following command on the command prompt to download the source files and store them on the shared drive:
(on single line)
Setup.exe /download LyncEntryRetail.xml
(This is the name of the XML file created above)
One can also run the same on a server share by using UNC path names such as (on single line)
\\servername\sharename\Setup.exe /download
\\servername\sharename\LyncEntryRetail.xml
(This is the name of the XML file created above)
4. Run the following command on the command prompt on a machine where you want to install the software: (on single line)
\\servername\sharename\Setup.exe /configure
\\servername\sharename\LyncEntryRetail.xml
(This is the name of the XML file created above)
Once you are comfortable that it all works, you may want to edit the XML file if you want to have silent installation and add the following lines.
<Display Level="None" AcceptEULA="TRUE" />
<Property Name="AUTOACTIVATE" Value="1" />

Can an iMac be used for WD My Book Live safepoints?

I have a Western Digitial My Book Live network drive. All Mac's and PC's can read/write without a problem. I would like to create a safepoint (WD term for backup) on an iMac but can't seem to get past correctly discovering the devices on the network. The MBL can 'see' the shares on the XP PC but nothing on the Mac's. Unfortunately the XP PC is not suitable for backups.
Can a Mac be used for MBL safepoints? If so, how is that accomplished?
Yes, I've posted this same question the WD Support and WD Communities but no responses. Most MBL Mac users posting on WD forums are using them for Time Machine. I thought maybe someone on the Apple forums might have solved this problem.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Mike

I am having the same issue. Did you ever find an answer? I see no one ever responded to you. I have a WD cust service Tech support question submitted but no answer yet there either. Thanks for any info you have.
I get the error
30000 - Unknown error. Retry your last operation. If the error persists, contact WD Support for assistance.

How can I create a form for users wherein the text field will expand to accommodate additional text?

How can I create a form for users wherein the text field will expand to accommodate additional text?

You need to use LiveCycle (PC Only) to create a dynamic form like that.
The best you can do with Acrobat to view all of the text in a field is to set the field to multiline, and set the size to "Auto" (If you don't set the size to 'Auto', you can enter as much text as you wish, but the user will need to use the scrollbar to view all of the text.)

Can FW CS3 be used for graphic for printing?

I am very familiar with FW but I do not like Photoshop,
however I have both I preffer to use FW. As I have seen on one
presentation new FW CS3 has CMYK pallete so my question is: can FW
CS3 be used for preparation of graphic for printing or what are the
obstacles? After preparing images in FW I will use InDesign for
text or maybe the text in FW is wector and maybe I could use FW
including text and not to use INDEsign far small projects? Does
anyone has any experience with this subject?

Martin

Fireworks does not operate or export in CMYK color space. It
was
developed for screen images only, and operates and exports in
RGB color
space. It is not recommended that you use it in preparation
of images
for print. You mentioned that you don't like photoshop. You
might like
Illustrator better.

Can a IDOC be used for data exchange from R/3 to CRM

Hi All,
First, can a IDOC be used for data exchange from R/3 to CRM
I need to update few fields of SAP CRM Sales order with fields from SAP R/3 Work Order.
To achive this can I use IDOC?
Or do I update the R/3 sales order from R/3 Work order(using some interface or workflow), so that the sales order data flows from R/3 SO to CRM SO.
Please respond immediately.
Regards,
Gopinath

IDocs can be processed by the CRM system via XML/XIF adaptor. As this will be most probably a new interface that is not yet set up, it would be easier to change the orders in R/3 via an appropiate FM which should automatically generate a delta download BDoc.
Even if they are not downloaded automatically a request download (defined via R3AR2 / 3 / 4) should take care of this.
Hope this helps,
Kai

Hello USME,
'Tis a common problem on old Macs.
Do as Allan says: open the door and blow out all the dust bunnies. Canned air from Wal-Mart or Radio Shack can be handy (though sort of expensive) especially for blowing through the back of the power supply. A cool Mac is a happy Mac.
Be sure your Mac can breathe. The air intake is on the bottom of the case, so be sure a deep pile rug or too many papers on your desk are not blocking the air supply.
Feel the power supply and the processor with your hand. They should be warm but not hot; if you have to move your hand away, that's too hot!
Check the fan on the power supply, and on the processor if it has one. Take a flashlight and peer in the back of the (Mac) case through the grille; make sure the fan is turning. If it's not, the power supply won't work for long.
Fans are not considered serviceable, though they will succumb to mechanics of determination. A CPU fan is easy and straightforward.
A fan replacement will not cure an already damaged power supply; the PS may already be done for. Used power supplies for a DA are hard to come by, and not especially cheap when found (c.$50). An entire working DA or Quicksilver may often be found for under $100 on eBay, and swapping in your HD is easy and simple... this might be cheaper and more expeditious than repairing an expired DA. Replacing a power supply is fairly easy, but it's a nuisance and requires a 2mm Allen head wrench in addition to the usual #2 Phillips head screwdriver.
In my experience, power supplies and CPUs are about equally likely to fail. There are a few other possibilities, but they are not nearly so common.
Good luck!... Jon

Can Adobe Collage be used for images smaller than the standard 1200 by 789?

Can Adobe Collage be used for images smaller than the standard 1200 by 789?

Hi,
* Photoshop Touch does have very good text capabilites.
* For opening the Collage as an Artwork (Merged layer) in Photoshop Touch, you just need to upload the Collage file to Creative cloud and import it directly into Photoshop Touch.
But if you are looking to preserve all the layers of the Collage file, you should download the Collage file as PSD from Creative Clould and import it in Photoshop Touch as layers.
* Collage does have canvas scalability, you can extend up the canvas on all the four directions. But i think in you case you are looking for having specific custom sizes of the canvas, which is not currently available in Collage. Currently you cannot shrink the canvas below the default canvas size.
Hope this is helpful. Please do revert back if you have more queries.

Check with the company that does your printing to be sure that output from PSE is ok and their file format requirement.

You can do a runtime trace using ST01 but you won´t find out how much buffer a program "uses" since the buffer is shared for all workprocesses.

hello again, i've asked in the development channel for firefox hello about this issue: multiparty video-conferencing is on the long-term roadmap but it might still take a lot of engineering (firefox hello is based on the webrtc standard which is a peer-to-peer protocol between two machines only - multiparty calls might be a rather tricky thing to figure out on this basis)
