"Connect to Server" alternative?

In the "Connect to Server" window (Finder -> Go -> Connect to Server), you can save server URLs, but you can't conveniently manage the list. You can't even sort them according to type (vnc://, afp://, smb://, etc.).
Does anyone know of a more versatile server list manager?

I was just looking for a silmilar utility.
http://www.hipsterkittyradio.com make an app called "Piper" that might suit your needs. It's actually an SSH client but has the added ability of creating and storing AFP, SMB, FTP and VNC connections. It's £1.50 from the App Store.
As far as I can tell the list is ordered alphabetically by the nickname you give the connection... but as you can change the name you could start each name with a number to make it list it in the order you would like (not ideal but at least it's an option)

I got it to work by enabling cookies in safari settings and turning off private browsing. Cookies are probably the key thing here. Accept button will appear at bottom right of first screen of agreement.

Connection Broker (Server 2012) what server to connect to ?

I have setup 3 Windows Server 2012 servers.
Server A running:
Remote Desktop Services Licensing
Remote Desktop Web Access
Remote Desktop Connection Broker
Server B running:
Remote Desktop Services Session Host
Server C running:
Remote Desktop Services Session Host
In old days you had to connect (with your RDP client) to the server running Session Directory, then you was redirected to one of the Terminal Service servers.
What about now ?
Does clients have to connect to the Connection Broker server to be directed to right session host ?
Should I create a DNS record that points to the Connection Broker and let RDP clients connect to that DNS address ?
Or should I create a round robin DNS address consisting of server B and server C ?
I'm a little confused on that matter, so hope anyone can help :-)
This is my first Remote Desktop Services setup on Server 2012

Hi,
In Server 2012/2012 R2 the initial connection goes to the RD Connection Broker. Yes, if necessary you would create a DNS record that points to the broker.
Also in 2012 a user would normally connect via RD Web Access, or RemoteApp and Desktop Connections (RADC), or Remote Resources instead of manually opening the Remote Desktop client and connecting that way. If they connect using the above methods they
will use a pre-configured .rdp file that has the target collection contained within it. The broker needs this target collection so that it knows where to send the user.
If you want users to manually launch a connection (without RDWeb, RADC, etc.) then you can use a non-IE web browser to download the .rdp files from RDWeb and give them to your users. Another alternative is to set the default collection in the broker's
registry so that if someone connects to the broker without specifying the target collection it will know to automatically send them to the default collection.

SSRS Database Configuration Manager Error - Could not connect to server: The type initializer for 'System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection' threw an exception

I'm Getting the "Could not connect to server: The type initializer for 'System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection' threw an exception" Error on an existing Instance of SSRS that had been working previously (lots of installs/patches since).
Any time I try to hit the "Test Connection" button on existing connections or create new ones from the SSRS Config Mgr., it throws that error.
I know the SQL Server connectivity works (I have SSMS installed on there and can cut and paste server Login to connect). The problem is I can't really get any more details on the error...Event Viewer isn't logging anything, I have upped the trace level
to 4 in the reportingservicesservice.config file, I have even watched it with procmon and nothing obvious pops up.
Let me know if anyone else has been down this path and what they have tried.

Hi BillOlive,
Based on my research, the issue may be related to user access permission. You can refer to the following method to troubleshooting the issue:
Open C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\CONFIG folder | right click on the machine.config file | Properties | Security | make sure your domain account has FULL CONTROL permission on this file.
If above steps still do not work, please backup your machine.config file to somewhere else and replace with the attached one from my Windows Server 2008 environment.
Alternatively, app.config file also may cause the same issue. There is a similar issue, you can refer to it.

Hello youssi,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand when you scan to email you're receiving a message stating cannot connect to server. I will do my best to assist you! Please follow this entire HP document on How to Scan: From the Control Panel (Including Scan to Email, to a PDF, and to a Network Folder) just to make sure everything is correct.
If this doesn't work, then please follow these steps to try setting an alternative DNS to see if that resolves the issue:
•    Open the Embedded Web Sever on your computer.
•   Click the Network tab.
•   Under Wireless click on IPv4.
•   Under DNS Address Configuration select Manual.
•   Set the Preferred address as 8.8.8.8
•   Set the Alternate address as 8.8.4.4
•   Click Apply twice to confirm the change.
•   Turn the printer Off and back On and see if the issue is resolved.
Please post your results, as I will be looking forward to hearing from you. Have a great night!

TS3899 the connection to server has failed

I have tried deleted the email accounts registered to both my phone and ipad and reinstalling them. I've also switched off both devices by the hard reset. I've deleted all of my mail and I am still getting this 'the connection to server has failed' when i go into the mail app, and when i try to send an email it doesnt allow me either. I am not a techie - what else can i do?

Hello Madi_kay2030,
I recommend this article to help troubleshoot what might be happening.
iOS: Unable to send or receive email
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3899
The symptoms described a a bit different than what you describe but the troubleshooting is relevant.
Restart the iOS device.
Tap Safari and attempt to load a webpage to ensure that the device has Internet access. If you're unable to load a webpage, try the Wi-Fi assistant.
Try an alternative Internet connection.
If your email is provided by your Internet provider, try connecting from the home network.
If your iOS device has an active cellular data plan, try to disable Wi-Fi: Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn off Wi-Fi.
If not, try a different Wi-Fi network.
Log in to your email provider's website to ensure that the account is active and the password is correct.
Delete the account from Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and then add the email account again on the iOS device.
If you're still unable to send or receive email, contact your email provider and verify the account settings are correct. You will need to gather this information (PDF).
Additional Information
Using more than one device to check the same POP email account may create a lock-out issue that is easily resolved.

If you're trying to connect to a Bonjour server on the remote network, that won't work over a layer 3 VPN. Use something like Hamachi or one of the SSH-tunnelling Bonjour proxy apps for that.

I have had my IPAD2 for quite a while but haven't activated my cellular data for about a year. I am now trying to activate and when I go to cellular data, turn it on and try to tap view account i just get a message that says "connection to server lost".

I have had my IPAD2 for quite a while but haven't activated my cellular data for about a year. I am now trying to activate and when I go to cellular data, turn it on and try to tap view account i just get a message that says "connection to server lost". I could swear the last time I used cellular data you would see the signal in the upper left corner and I only see "no service" there, I am in a location where I know I should have service. Is there something I should do to my IPAD? I tried resetting, I tried clearing cookies and history in Safari (after reading a post n these discussions). I don't know what to do next. My IOS version is 6.1.3. I did go into Network from the general tab and I see it says "SIM not provisioned". HELP and Thank you in advance.

Hello Theresa818,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like the cellular data will not activate for some reason on the iPad.
I found this article that will help you resolve this issue here, named iPad (Wi-Fi + Cellular Models): Troubleshooting a cellular data connection, found here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4249
Check for a carrier settings update.
Update your iPad.
Toggle the Cellular Data setting off and on under Settings > Cellular Data.
Restart your iPad.
Tap Settings > General > About. Locate the Carrier entry and make sure that your carrier is correct.
If your SIM card has SIM PIN enabled, try turning it off: Tap Settings > Cellular Data > SIM PIN.
Make sure you're in an area of good coverage. If the cellular data connection works in another area, contact your carrier to report the original affected area.
Reset network settings: Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Restore the iPad as new.
If none of the above steps resolves the issue, make an appointment at an Apple Retail Store, contact your carrier, or contact AppleCare to troubleshoot further.
I know you may have done one or two of the steps here, so you can skip those.
Take care,
Sterling

Macbook can no longer "connect to server"

I have an iMac connected to the new Airport Extreme using ethernet (and wireless).
I have a macbook connecting to the new Airport Extreme using wireless.
The macbook cannot connect to the imac using 'connect to server' WHY? And the imac's itunes library no longer shows up on the macbooks itunes as a shared library? Why?
All of this used to work before my upgrade to the new Airport Extreme. Can anybody help....

OK.... the is really baffling me...
Here's my setup:
Airport Extreme - constant PPPoe connection to ISP - running 80211n only
iMac conneting to Airport Extreme via ethernet
Macbook connecting to Airport Extreme via 80211n
Airport Express connected to Extreme via ethernet
Macbook Pro and Powerbook and 2nd Express (relay) connecting to Express via 80211g
iMac also connects to Airport Express via 80211g (in addition to direct ethernet connection)
So.... here's the problems....
Macbook and iMac cannot speak to each other. Macbook can see iMac's itunes but gets an error when tyring to connect (unspecified error - make sure port 3689 is open)
Cannot do a 'connect to server' either way between macbook and iMac.
iMac can see and connect to both Powerbook and Macbook Pro. It can also see itunes library on both of thses and vice versa.
HELP!!!

PI 7.11: Cannot connect to server using message server:...

Hello Guys,
we make the Application Management for a Customer PI System.
Scenario:
- the SAP Gui Connection to the ABAP Stack is routed via SAPRouter and Works fine.
SAP Gui -> our SAP Router -> VPN Box from Customer -> Firewall Customer -> ABAP Stack PI System
- WebAccess its working fine, the Customer use Webdispatcher on every PI Server...
Browser -> VPN Box from Customer -> Firewall Customer -> Java Stack (Port: 5xx00 btw. 81xx (Webdispatcher))
Problem:
Our Problem ist, we can not proceed the Integration Builder or the ESB, the Java Web Start works fine and open the Logon Screen Correctly -> but i fill the Logon Screen with my User name and Password and press Logon come the follwing Error:
"Cannot connect to server using message server: ms://<hostname>.<domain>:8134/P4"
In the Details from the Error Message:
"<hostname>.<domain>:53404 Reason: com.sap.engine.services.rmi_p4.P4IOException:
Cannot open connection to host: <IP-Adress of Central Instance> and Port: 53404"
The Customer says, the Firewall is open with the IP Adresses and P4 Port but i dont think so...
Can everybody help me, or have tips for me! I have checked a lot of OSS Messages (PI High Availabilty etc... its all correct on the System)
Sorry for my bad English
Best Regards,
Markus

Hi Markus,
did you check if the browser is using a proxy? (In this case your scenario unfortunately won't work).
P4-port should generally be routed via a proxy (described in the help.sap.com), but within the PI-Tools(JNLP) the proxy-usage is not implemented. There is even a SAP-note that describes how to check the JavaWebStart-Proxyconfiguration, but this won't help either.
If there is a proxy defined in the browser everything is working fine till you pass the logon-screen but even with the correct "javaws"-settings you won't be able to go on.
(This problem is pretty bad if you do have developers and the SAP-servers seperated because of security issues. I'm hoping that this malfunction will be solved with upcoming patches.)
Solution: Establish a connection without any proxy in between.
E.g.: a terminal server in the same network
It would be helpful to find more people with the same problem to force a fix from SAP for that.
If anyone else is having problems with this, please add a comment to this thread.
Best regards
Christian
