How Can I Control a Windows PC from Apple Remote Desktop Please?

Hello Everybody
Please excuse my bad English.
I would like to ask you, how could be possibile setup windows pc (XP or 7) to be controlled by a Mac with Apple Remote Desktop 3.7.2
I think I have to use VNC, but how can i SETUP to connect XP or 7 to my Mac Apple Remote Desktop in the same LAN?
Thanks a lot
Giovanni

You can use ARD to remote control a windows machines, ARD is built on VNC
You'll have to install a VNC server on the windows machine you want to access
You won't be able to use most of the ARD features as they are specific to mac
You'll be be able to see and control the desktop and that's about it
You can also find VNC /Remote Desktop apps in the iOS store that will allow remote desktop connection from iPad /iPhone,
There is a mac version of Microsoft remote desktop in the Mac App Store

How can I make a window show up in every desktop?

How can I make a window show up in every desktop so when a user switches views it's still on their screen, using Xcode, Applescript-ObjC?

hi, try this:
public static void centerWindow(Window win){
Dimension screenSizeWithSpeedBar = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
Dimension screenSize = new Dimension(screenSizeWithSpeedBar.width,screenSizeWithSpeedBar.height-25);
Dimension frameSize = win.getSize();
if (frameSize.height > screenSize.height)
frameSize.height = screenSize.height;
if (frameSize.width > screenSize.width)
frameSize.width = screenSize.width;
win.setSize(frameSize);
win.setLocation((screenSize.width - frameSize.width) / 2, (screenSize.height - frameSize.height) / 2);
It works with following arguments: JWindow, JFrame and JDialog

Windows Server 2012 Standard - Remote Desktop Management service won't start

Dear colleges, I'm seeking your help in resolving a weird issue with Remote Desktop.
The Remote Desktop Management service gives the following error message any time it is attempted to start:
"The Remote Management Service on Local Computer started and then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services or programs."
The Event Viewer error message is as follows:
"The Remote Desktop Management service failed to start. Error code: 0x88250001"
Whenever I connect to the server with RD I get error message that the Remote Desktop Licensing Server isn't configured and that the RD trill will expire in N-days. The server is up to date updates wise and has been licensed for 5 RD CALs. The server hosts DNS
server and has AD DS role installed, is virtualized to have one Hyper-V server.
I read some blogs about having both DNS and AD DS on one box is a bad sea and a root cause of the issue. Well, that very well may be, but for me that's an option as I'm not going to get a box to just host DNS. There should a solution to this as I shouldn't
only one suffering from this issue.
I also read about KB2871777 - Servicing stack update supposedly addressign this issue. Well, it's on my system and the issue is there too. :)
Will I loose ability to RD when the trial expires or it's just another misleading MS message that can be ignored?
How do I mend Remote Desktop Management service to start?
Appreciate your help!

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server forum.
Can administrators perfectly connect to RDS environment?
In meantime please check that you have properly configured and activated RD License role service and install RDS CAL on it. It might also possible that you have configured RD License server but it server can’t find it and giving you error due to certificate
also. Please check that you have properly configured certificate on your RDS Server. Try to install and update below hotfix for License related issue.
No RDS license when you connect to an RDS farm in Windows Server 2012
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2916846
If you have configured both RDS and AD DS on single server then also you may find some error reading this. If so please try to setup both roles on different server and check the result. In addition to this, please check below articles.

Windows Server 2008R2 running Remote Desktop Services reports printer process does not exist when installing PDF printer

Windows Server 2008R2 running Remote Desktop Services reports printer process does not exist when installing PDF printer, And when Installing network printers from the domain controller it reports it cannot connect to printer. I can ping all
network devices. I can connect to the internet.
On boot I get a netlogon 5719 error followed by service control manager errors 7023,7001 and a group policy error 1129.
Clients can connect to the remote application and RDP operates to connect to the server internally and externally.
The domain controller is another server 2008r2 box. I have scoured the internet but have not found any solutions that work yet.

Hi,
After referring to your post, it can be identified that the issue which you are facing is mostly due to some network issue in your environment. Please recheck your network connection issue between computer and domain controller.
Can you able to ping with IP address and also with fully qualified name of a domain controller in the users' and computers' domain. If it fails states that name resolution issue with computer and domain controller. Are you using MS DHCP Relay agent then there’s
available Hotfix for the particular Event ID. Please go through this KB 2459530 to fix the error event ID.
As per the net logon error 5719 which you are facing states that the client component of Netlogon was unable to locate a DC for the domain it was trying to perform an operation against. Below is one of the reason. If this is being logged on a DC and the event
refers to the DC's own domain, something might be preventing the client component of Netlogon from starting a network session (to itself or to another DC in the domain). The following event 7001 & 7023 states start & stop operation service. Please
go through beneath article for more details.
1. Event ID 5719 is logged when you start a computer
2. Netlogon 5719 and the Disappearing Domain [Controller]
3. Event ID 1129 — Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy
Hope it helps!

How could I turn off the Command Key to Windows Key mapping in Remote Desktop for Mac 8

I'd like to be able to turn the Command key->Windows key mapping off. In this new app, whenever I use the Command key to initiate a Mac-side function, it registers a press of the Windows key within the Remote Desktop session. Speaking only
for myself, I use the Command Key for quite a lot of Mac operations, while my need and expectation for a Windows key press is zero.

Agreed. Cannot stop it by disabling the "Windows" key (from within Windows 7). Every time I Cmd-Tab to change apps, the Start Menu pops up,
and persists, overlaying other app windows. Much more than annoying.
Also, there is no Clipboard Sharing, apparently. Love typing in long binary strings into the Registry.

Can Thunderbird and Lightning be installed and used as a Windows Server 8 r2 remote desktop application.

Can Thunderbird and Lightning be successfully installed as a remote desktop (terminal server) application on Windows Server 8 r2? In this scenario, users would access Thunderbird and Lightning via Windows (or Linux or Mac) remote desktop connection. Each user has there own home folder and profile on remote desktop server. I want to make sure that an individual user will be able to maintain individual email accounts, folders, settings, etc. as if Thunderbird and Lightning were installed on a stand alone PC. Any tips or things to watch out for in this scenario would be helpful.

Windows Server 2008 R2 Remote Desktop - The requested session access is denied

Hi, I have been using Windows Server 2008 R2 since it was released, and have 100 servers up and running. I configured Allow Remote Desktop on all of them and have been able to connect to them and manage them via RDP since then. I also have two servers configured as Remote Desktop Services.
That was up until yesterday. Yesterday afternoon I started getting the The requested session access is denied. I managed all Terminal services via Group Policy and have three users entered.
I am connecting to the servers via Windows XP SP3 and Windows 7. Both clients have been updated to the latest Remote Desktop Services client.
I have been searching for the answer, and I am not finding it.
I have also tried KB954369 without any success.
Thanks,
Brian

Ok, from my trials and tribulations and discussions with Microsoft I have identified the following;
Assumptions;
A. My terminal server is in domain widget
B. All the users are in domain contoso
1. I had the Terminal Server configurured with a specific Login, which would launch a specific application only and not give them any desktop functions. Wiht this configured this way, I get the error I wrote about.
2. If I turn the specific login off, then I can login normally and perform the functions as Administrator that I need/want to do.
3. Microsoft said to configure the Terminal Server with Single Sign-on. I did as instructed and went thru all the steps, however because my terminal server is in domain widget, the users get prompted twice each time for login. Once on the website, and then again as the application launches. Microsoft said that the users needed to Remote Desktop Client 7.x or the self-signed certificate that I have has to be included in the domain contoso certificate authority so that they will not be prompted for the second sign-on.
4. Conclusions - I need to have a chat with our enterprise security team about including the self-signed certificate in the contoso certificate authority. I need to also work on my RDWeb website so that it meets our company standard look.
Here are the links that Microsoft provided;
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc772108(WS.10).aspx

Audio service hangs on Windows Server 2008R2 with Remote Desktop Services

Hello!
I have some terminal servers on Windows Server 2008R2. Users have the ability to use web browsers (IE, Firefox) with the included Flash Player, IM clients / Internet
telephony (Skype, ICQ), Windows Media Player, Office, and a specific internal software (works with MS SQL). I have the following problem: the Windows audio service hangs up that leads to hangup of all programs which use it, such as: any sites in Internet with
a flash content (in all browsers), ICQ, Skype.Even logging out the session hung when tried to lose a sound. It's impossible to stop or restart service from the services.msc the service just hang with status "restarting". To stop service I terminate svchost
process. As soon as the audio service is stopped - all programs start to work correctly (certainly without a sound). This problem appeared not suddenly - periodic hangups of programs on servers were marked long ago (more than half a year), but not directly
were connected to audio service, especially there were they rather rare (on the average once a week - two) and were corrected by server reset. The error message:
Error container , type 0
Event name: AppHangXProcB1
Reply: No data
Ident CAB: 0
Problem signature:
P1: iexplore.exe
P2: 9.0.8112.16446
P3: 4fb57c8f
P4: 77c1
P5: 131200
P6: svchost.exe:AudioClientRpc
P7: 0.0.0.0
P8:
P9:
P10:
shall suggest an idea about a sound service, but in Event Viewer has no Windows Audio events.
Recently I updated Skype to the last version 6.0.66.120. Before was 4.2.35.155 because versions 5хх on Windows2008R2 with the Remote Desctop Services actually don't
work, if users at the server more than one or two. We checked the sixth version by the test machine with the terminal environment and very were delighted to its normal working capacity. However after installation of this client on production servers it appeared
that hangups of programs on servers began to occur on the average time at an o'clock in case of an average daily load (about 20 users on one server). If you have worked one or two users, problems weren't watched. Internet search led me to the support page
Skype, where the Windows 7 x64 user faced a similar problem in the fifth version of the program. But the solutions proposed by the support team does not help me. In addition, I found the advice to disable enhancements in the properties of the playback device,
but it is impossible for the "Remote Audio" device.
At the moment, on servers where I updated the Skype, I disabled the audio service. If within a reasonable time, I do not find a solution, I will have to revert
to an older version of Skype, but I would like to solve the problem completely.

Enable the Allow audio and video playback redirection Group Policy setting
To allow audio and video playback when connecting to a computer running Windows Server 2008 R2, you must enable the Allow audio and video playback redirection Group Policy setting. The Allow audio and video playback redirection Group Policy setting is located
in Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Device and Resource Redirection and can be configured by using either Local Group Policy Editor or the Group Policy Management
Console (GPMC).
For more information about Group Policy settings for Remote Desktop Services, see the Remote Desktop Services Technical Reference (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=138134).
Is this policy applied? Refer:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd759165.aspx
Also, have you tried update the audio device driver for this terminal server?

Windows Home Server 2011 - Remote Desktop Issues

I had been using my administrator account to log into my headless Home Server remotely. Didnt have to do it often. I tried today and got:
"To log on to this remote computer, you must be granted the Allow log on through
Terminal Services right. By default, members of the Remote Desktop Users group have this
right. If you are not a member of the Remote Desktop Users group or another group that
has this right, or if the Remote Desktop User group does not have this right, you must be
granted this right manually."
How can I log into the machine to give myself rights? Am I going to have to yank it down out of the closet and hook it up to a monitor?

Your question has not been answered.
Windows Home Server 2011 does not use domains, so even if you had Windows 8.1 Pro, you'd still be left without a solution. I have one PC with Windows 8.1 Enterprise and that does work with Home Server; and a laptop with Windows 7 Pro and that works fine
too. Like you, I have issues with Windows 8.1 Pro.
Does anyone from Microsoft Server actually read these posts?
@PeterPensive,
the OP's original question was relating to "linking/combining" an MS Account with a Win8.x local account. That question was answered. (the answer is no), so, for a WHS scenario, linked accounts aren't possible, but, in Win8.x, an MS Account might be suitable
for use with WHS.
Are you confirming that an MS Account on Win8.x works ok with WHS?

Windows 8.1 Update - Remote Desktop missing from Remote Tab

I recently purchased a new Lenovo G780 with Windows 8. I updated to Windows 8.1 this past weekend.
I was surprised to find the "Remote Desktop" section (on Remote tab in System Properties) was missing. I can see "Remote Access Assistance" but not "Remote Desktop". Note that I can run Remote Desktop to connect to another computer, but w/out this setting I am UNABLE to accept incoming remote desktop requests.
I did find a link related to my very same issue, though for an earlier windows version.
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/e51a7001-85f7-4578-af65-6dee5a35c261/...
I have same symptom, just newer OS I can only surmise that my Windows 8.1 update messed something up. It may be possible this was the situation before I updated to Windows 8.1, as I don't think I messed with that setting.
Does anyone know of a fix? Apparently re-inputting the Product Key (and reactivating Windows) might help solve but I don't have a Product Key for Windows 8...will Lenovo supply that?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi dsmall2112,
I think you answered your own question again. The upgrade from Win 8 basic will only go to 8.1 basic. The key you have will only work on the Win. 8 basic and the upgrade to 8.1 will still only give you 8.1 basic, with that key.
In order to get Win 8.1 Pro features, you will have to buy a Win 8.1 Pro key.
Regards,
Dave
