Cannot log onto windows remote desktop

How can I log into my office's windows remote desktop. I am very new to the Mac and need some help with this. I have downloaded and installed the Windows Remote Desktop Connection, but i dont know how to use it. Do I need to have a different program to get online and not use Safari.
Please keep it simple, I am not a programer, just a program user.

I USE REMOTE DESKTOP TO CONNECT TO A WINDOWS SERVER AT WORK. YOU MUST OBTAIN THE IP ADDRESS OF THE SERVER AND PUT THAT IP ADDRESS INTO THE RDC WHERE IT ASKS COMPUTER. YOU WILL ALSO NEED THE NETWORK USERNAME AND PASSWORD TO GET ON THE SERVER AT WORK. I ALSO BELIEVE THE SERVER AT WORK NEEDS TO BE SET TUP TO ACCEPT REMOTE CONNECTIONS.

    Could be a third party app preventing you from being able to login.
    Mac App Store: Sign in sheet does not appear, or does not accept typed text
    If it's not a third party issue, follow the instructions here.
    Quit the MAS if it's open.
    Open a Finder window. Select your Home folder in the Sidebar on the left then open the Library folder then the Caches folder.
    Move the com.apple.appstore and the com.apple.storeagent files from the Caches folder to the Trash
    From the same Library folder open the Preferences folder.
    Move these files Preferences folder to the Trash: com.apple.appstore.plist and com.apple.storeagent.plist
    Same Library folder open the Cookies folder. Move the com.apple.appstore.plist file from the Cookies folder to the Trash.
    Relaunch the MAS.

  • I want to be able to print using windows remote desktop services what printers can i use?

    Hi I want to use Windows Remote Desktop Services on my iMAC.
    I understand some printers work but some dont  when printing from the VDI client.
    Can anyone give me a list of printers that will work with the VDI client or some work arounds so that I can print using my iMAC and that print jobs can be parsed through the VDI clien to my iMAC and then printed through the iMACs connection to the printer
    Thankyou

    ARD won't be as smooth as you think  over the Internet and be a security risk for your daughter.
    Your best bet would be to install nannyware, then when she's asleep you can review the logs.
    This is the best and Mac friendly

  • Customizing single user connection via Windows remote desktop

    Hi, 
    I would like to know if its possible to configure Windows Remote Desktop in a way that if a user is already logged on to a particular computer and another user tries logging in, an error message appears on the screen saying that a user is already
    logged on. 
    I can limit the number of connections to 1 via:
    Local Group Policy Editor > Admin Templates > Remote Desktop Services > Remote Desktop Session Host > Connections 
    However, with this option, the error message that comes up on the screen is the following:
    'This computer cant connect to the remote computer, try again or contact the network administrator'.
    Is it possible to configure this in a way to let users know why they cant login so they don't think its an IT fault? 
    We are using Windows 7 on both the clients and the host. 
    Any advice would be much appreciated..
    Thanks,
    Seema 

    Hi Milos,
    No its not a server operating system.
    The PC that we are connecting to is running Windows 7.
    We are connecting to it using Windows Remote Desktop.
    Thanks,
    Seema
    Hi Seema,
    As Licensing agreement said, for Windows 7, you can only has one connection on this PC via RDP.
    If another user wants to connect this PC via RDP, he will be notified you another user who has already logged in.

  • Windows Remote Desktop Client for Blackberry

    Hello,
    Could any please provide a list of recommended Windows Remote Desktop (RDP) client software for Blackberry.  
    I have tried TSMobiles. I am looking for client-only solution.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Do you have RD gateway in your network?
    Please check if there is any error in the remote desktop service log both on client and server sides. You can find the log under Applications and Services logs – Microsoft – Windows – TerminalServices.

  • My husband plugged in a password and we don't know what it is and cannot log onto the new computer.  How can I reset the password if I can't log on?

    My husband was setting up the iMac he got us for Christmas.  I already have a MacBook Pro.  I do not know the sequence of events but I do know he wanted to use my iTunes account on the iMac so I provided passwords.  Now we cannot log onto the computer using any of my passwords.  He must have mistyped something.  How do we log onto the computer if we can't figure out what the password is?

    If it's a new Mac I guess it's running Lion, if so, hopefully this'll help:

  • Unable to connect to my home PC from my home Mac using Windows Remote Desktop

    i have downloaded from the Microsoft website and also the Application from the App store and both fail to connect. i have connected to my PC using the migration assistant so they are able to recognise each other.
    on the Mac:
    - downloaded the app and also done the download from MS website - both fail and suggest to check that remote access is enabled.
    on the PC:
    - have my Ipaddress from "IPConfig"
    - have enabled remote access through windows firewall
    The PC is on and has a password enabled 
    Error on App:
    "Unable to connect to remote PC. Please verify remote desktop is enabled, the remote pc is turned on and available on the network and try again"
    both are connected to the internet and on the same home network. Can anyone please advise to any additional steps as this seems as though this should be really straightforward. as another note i don't have another firewall software interrupting - am just
    using windows firewall until i can get this working.

  • Allow log on through Remote Desktop Services Group Policy for Domain Controllers

    Hello,
    We want to allow our Helpdesk Operators to be able to connect to Domain Controllers with the Remote Desktop Services. This is by default not allowed but according to many sites, it should be able to configure by using a Group Policy.
    We made a new Group Policy with the setting 'Allow log on through Remote Desktop Services' and 'Allow log on locally' (as an extra for testing) and applied Security Filtering to only use it for a specific Security Group. Our test user is a member of this
    security group and should be able to access the Domain Controllers now. However this isn't working.
    The error message we receive upon trying to connect:
    The connection was denied because the user account is not authorized for remote login.
    For troubleshooting, we also applied the Security Group for that setting in the Default Domain Controllers Policy but that doesn't seem to work either. We want to avoid customization on our Default Domain Controllers Policy but this was just a test case
    for solving our problem.
    What should we do to solve our problem?
    I hope to hear from you soon.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi, I just found out what the problem was. This site helped me alot:
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/askperf/archive/2011/09/09/allow-logon-through-terminal-services-group-policy-and-remote-desktop-users-group.aspx
    In my case, I had the group added to the Allow Logon Through Remote Desktop Services but was not added to the Builtin\Remote Desktop Users group. After knowing this I made some changes to our situation and are now using the builtin\Remote Desktop Users group
    rather than a new self made Security Group. I also added the Remote Desktop Users to the Allow Logon Through Remote Desktop Service in the Default Domain Controllers Policy as this is not done by default. By default only the Domain Administrators are able
    to logon through remote desktop services.
    You do not need the 'Log on Locally' permission within the Group Policies.
    In short:
    Add the desired users/groups to the 'Builtin\Remote Desktop Users' security group.
    Add the 'Builtin\Remote Desktop Users' security group to the 'Allow Logon Through Remote Desktop Services' within the 'Default Domain Controllers Policy'.
    Thank you anyway for the fast reply.
    Have a nice day!

  • 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?

  • BI Publisher Desktop install on Windows remote desktop

    Hi all,
    Is there any way to install BI Publisher Desktop on windows remote desktop (terminal services)?
    If I install this currently as one user, the other user can not access (despite having all the correct security settings). The real issue is I think with MS Office because the Add-in is not seen by other users. But I have no idea how to go about solving this issue.
    Thanks.
    Px.

    There is an Oracle support document [468953.1] that suggests that each user run the installer on a shared machine. This advice doesn't actually work as the second user who attempts to install it on a machine will only be presented with the option to uninstall it.
    Just today with the help of ProcessMonitor I have figured out how to deliver it to all users. Note that my setup is Office 2003. The below instructions may need alteration for other versions or may not work at all.
    After you have installed BI Publisher Desktop copy the TemplateBuilder.dot file found in:
    C:\Documents and Settings\[installing_user_name]\Application Data\Microsoft\Word\STARTUP
    to
    C:\program files\microsoft office\OFFICE11\STARTUP
    This will cause the TemplateBuilder word template to launch at startup for all users and deliver the "Oracle BI Publisher" menu item and BIP toolbar.
    Hope this helps. If you are using a version of Word other than 2003 and need to modify the procedure please post any required changes on this thread. I would like to assemble a procedure for all supported versions of Word.

  • Can Photoshop CS4 be deployed on Windows remote desktop server?

    I tried installing Photoshop extended CS4 on a Windows Remote Desktop server (Windows 2008 R2 64bit) and it said it requires at least Windows XP or Vista 64bit as the OS requirement. I can either continue or quit. Can someone verify if this product can be deployed in RDS enviroment?
    Thanks

    Mark:
    Thanks for the input. It worked. Interestingly, I first tried installing CS5 but the install just stopped. I then tried CS4 and it installed without trouble. For CS5, I have a downloaded copy of the software; for CS4, I have an actual physical DVD. I may explore this issue further at some later point. For now, having CS4 run is quite sufficient for testing and evaluation.
    I realize that using thin clients will impose some amount of performance penalty, but my expectation is that the overall performance will be acceptable for most user tasks most of the time. I take it from your post this has been your experience. I will still provide a stand-alone machine for the small number of projects where the application is taxing the limits of the computer, and any limitations imposed by Remote Desktop are not acceptable.
    Certainly, the software needs to be properly licensed, which Adobe is more than happy to provide. Through the thin client approach I hope to eliminate the maintenance and management headache of maintaining multiple, essentially identical, machines. And, I hope to reduce (by some small percentage) power costs.
    We'll see how it goes...

  • Newbie Question - Cannot log onto htmldb admin user after new v2 install

    Hi
    Cannot log onto admin user.
    htmldb v2 - installed fine on db
    Oracle Server - 9.2.0.5
    9i Application Server (httpd 1.0.2.2.2). This part of the ebso 11.5.10 stack. Many
    reasons why i had to do this but i could not see a compat issue ? This is only
    test bed as well, not a production configuration.
    Followed all v2 post-install tasks - httpd.conf/wdbsvr.app .
    DAD/modplsql config OK.
    On connection to admin interface - host:port/pls/htmldb/htmldb_admin, gives what i would call the 'standard' browser logon page ? Not the htmldb logon template
    Thought it may be issue with images alias but don't really know and cannot see issue with config files ?
    Regards
    A

    Do you have an alias setup for the images directory? For example -
    Alias /i/ "....path to images directory..."If not, then that's probably the cause of your problem. If you do have that entry, then check that the path is correct, and check that the permissions on that directory are such that the user that the webserver is running as can access the directory.

    You need to reinstall OS X:
    Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
