Do i need to setup a VNC to use microsoft rdc for mac?

I am trying to gain access to my work pc (xp pro) with my intel based mpb at home running snow leopard. I've been told that everything is setup to allow an RDC on my work computer and I have microsoft RDC on my mac. However, I am still running into problems. I'm wondering if I need a VNC setup prior to using the RDC. I would appretiate any help. Thanks.

VNC & RDC (a.k.a.: RDP) are separate and for the most part have nothing to do with each other.
Did you mean VPN (virtual private network) instead of VNC? (Virtual network computing protocol.)
More than likely, you need to configure the firewall at work to allow incoming RDC sessions.  (i.e.: configure port forwarding) or use a VPN.  The VPN connects your remote computer "directly" onto the office's network, bypassing the firewall.  Creating a VPN is not trivial.  But configuring the firewall or VPN will probably require you to contact your network administrator to get the proper settings anyway.

  • How to setup live.hk mail using Microsoft Exchange on Mac?

    In the past, I sync my live.hk mail account with pop3. But there is a problem that I delete some email on my Mac but it still there in live.hk mailbox.
    I found that we can use Microsoft Exchange mail through iPhone and iPad. Can I use Exchange with live.hk on my MacBook so that the mail won't duplicate on both my Mac and live.hk server ?
    Thank you for any comments and assistance.

    Dunno whether this site could help you.

    why would you say things like that here? if you are a windows one then stay there. but you are not polite or helpful and if can't use Apple i wonder why you would come here to tell all about your sad story. I don't understand that it has nothing to do with question asked.
    I own, or should I say have owned, several Apple products. Including a new MBP.
    I also use Windows.
    I will say anything I like in an effort to help people overcome problems they are having with Mac's and computers in general.
    Being a Apple Fanboy is not required for membership on this forum or trying to help other Mac users.
    And just how is suggesting to remove Lion and to go back to Snow Leopard not helping the OP in his quest to make his already owned and paid for MS Office software work? If it is isn't broken stop trying to fix it. Snow Leopard is a fine OS. Lion is still in Beta, only Apple hasn't told anyone. And yes I run Lion on my new MBP but I also have a partition with Snow Leopard on it.
    Thank you and have a great day.

  • A friend wants me to put together on booklet that's been done in excel. I'm on a mac os 10. Do I need to download microsoft excel for mac or can I open the document through indesign?

    A friend wants me to put together on booklet that's been done in excel. I'm on a mac os 10. Do I need to download microsoft excel for mac or can I open the document through indesign?

    I second LibreOffice as it's the most recent fork, however NeoOffice and OpenOffice will also work.
    Just say No money to Redmond!
    Also the old Ready Set Go! will be having a Lion version out soon.
    It's a low cost page layout program (like Indesign but without the high price) and can make booklets etc better, import the excel grpahics from LibreOffice.

    It's probably looking for the Apple ID & Password you used to purchase Lion, or ML as the case may be.
    Thse are the Mountain Lion forums, is that what you meant?

    Sorry, but your likely going to have to use Windows 7 and Office on your Mac at work using Bootcamp.
    Although you can share files OfficeMac and Office on Windows, the formatting will be off because two platforms use different installed fonts and formatting. This will cause a productivity lost and require extra editing at work
    If you could share just PDF's then your fine, but that will unlikely be the case.
    So to share files seamlessly your going to have to install Windows 7 (another $300) full version, 64 bit, using Apple's Bootcamp.
    https://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
    It's ok, though, you can boot into OS X to use that online and surfing etc at home. It's the internet and sharing of files from other Windows users that cause Windows to hoze up, so mimimalize both of those and you should be fine.
    You can also run Windows 7 in a virtual machine software like Parallels or VMFusion. as long as you don't have any super demanding needs of the hardware, like running 3D games or super intense CPU actions like video processing. Office work is just fine and it's safer than Bootcamp, as in a virtual machine you can keep "snapshots" of previous states of the OS, and revert back to in case something goes wrong in mere seconds.
    A real good piece of news though, Windows 8 is so radically changed from Windows 7, that your workplace will remain with Windows 7 as long as possible to put off all the retraining necessary with that new OS version.
    So think of the $300 + $60 investment in Windows on your Mac as a longterm thing.

    How do you stop needing to verify email password when using yahoo.att with Mac Mail?

    Nevermind, I fixed it (I think).  I went into Settings | Accounts & Sync and found Yahoo at the bottom of the list (alphabetically).  I selected it and it had an optiion to delete the account, which I did.

    Apple told developers they were removing that service over two years ago. The developers that depended upon it should have done something about it.
    Why did they remove it? My guess is because it was pretty crappy, was difficult to maintain, and wasn't a good solution for multiple devices that could get the info without tethering to a "base" Mac.

  • Did I need to setup as new or use a backup

    I bought a 3Gs today, because my original iphone started acting strangley. When I got home, I wanted to get my contacts onto my new phone. When it asked if I wanted to setup as new or use my last backup, I chose my last backup. Did I make a mistake doing that? I had been so hesitant about getting the new one since I had gone through four problem phones at and right after the release. I hope I didn't mess something up. It seems to have a good screen although you can see the warm tone difference but not as bad as the others I had tried. Can anyone tell me if I have messed things up by using my last backup instead of new?

    You can do whichever you like.
    Is your iphone working properly?
    If so, stop worrying.

  • Need help regarding implementing SSAS solution using microsoft decision trees algorithm

    Hi All,
    I am new to SSAS and Data Mining techniques. I dnt have a good knowledge about data mining in SSAS.  I have a requirement regarding predictive analysis and want to check whether i can implement SSAS for it. 
    I have two tables namely Tree and Node. The Tree table has the columns namely NodeID, ParentID and Level. The ParentID in the tree table represents a node in the node table and at the same time the nodeid in the tree table also represents the nodeid in the
    node table.
    If you run the below query, it will list out all the possibilities of getting the nodename 'CTRYIMPACT - High - PRODIMPACT - Low - Question 6'
    select p.*
    from Node n, Tree t, Node p
    where n.NodeName='CTRYIMPACT - High - PRODIMPACT - Low - Question 6'
    and n.NodeId = t.NodeId
    and t.ParentId = p.NodeId
    I want to predict the various nodenames that are possible by inputting a NodeID using analysis services. If this is done, then i can implement it in my project. 
    I went over this link to know about implementing decision tress but, they have used only a single table in the example. Since I have two tables i am struck in the middle. And also they have not specified clearly of what they need to achieve. They have just
    stated that on changing the play the value changes. 
    http://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/2965/classic-machine-learning-example-in-sql-server-analysis-services/
    Can anyone help me with this?
    Below is the link for data containing the values for the Node and Tree table.

    Thanks you and Kind Regards, Karthik Venkatraman

    Hi Karthink,
    Acording to your description, you need to predict the various nodenames that are possible by inputting a NodeID using analysis services, right?
    In your scenario, in order to make prediction in Data Mining Model, we would create a prediction query. Before we can create a prediction query, we need to build a Data Mining Model. Please refer to the links below to see the detail infomaton.

  • Need advice on what antivirus/security measures are recommended for Macs

    Between us my husband and I have a MacBook Pro and a MacBook Air.
    I'm looking for guidance on what might or might not be useful, beyond what is standard on a Mac, to protect against viruses and improve security on our system.
    Thanks in advance!

    (1) Don't install any commercial anti-virus software. It's all useless garbage.
    Not true, at least if you email or send files to Windows users. It won't do you much good if your Mac isn't compromised but theirs is by something you pass along to them. Any info about you on their computers is put at risk of exploitation. We live in a connected world, & like it or not we are all in this together.
    (2) Use your administrator account (the first one you created) only for administrative tasks such as installing software.
    This offers reasonable protection but some malware is potentially capable of exploiting unpatched vulnerabilities that allow privileges to be escalated to admin or even root level without a user's knowledge. And even if an exploit is confined to the domain of a regular user account it can still do damage or compromise information.
    NEVER enter your administrator password when prompted to do so by an application UNLESS it's a built-in application, such as the Installer.
    That would preclude the use of a great deal of commercial software that doesn't use Apple's Installer.app, including most Adobe products.
    NEVER install any third-party software except by drag-and-drop into your Applications folder, or by download from the App Store.
    Same as above: not everything users want or need uses Apple's installer or can be installed by a simple drag & drop. And obviously, if the system is already infected all bets are off: you can no longer trust Installer.app to be what it says it is.
    NEVER run any program you receive as an unsolicited email attachment, even if you know and trust the apparent sender.
    This does not apply only to attachments containing executable code, or even just to email. Apple has provided security updates to patch vulnerabilities that can be exploited just by clicking on links to maliciously formed web pages. This kind of attack is becoming more popular, in part because browsers send info about the client computer to the server that can be used to tailor the attack to the specific vulnerabilities of the platform, & in part because browsers increasingly rely on executing scripts & other instructions provided by web pages to render them.
