FIPS support with Microsoft Remote Assistance?

After setting up Remote Assistance in group policy for our domain, I can easily use it when not in FIPS mode by typing: msra /offerra
However, if I have FIPS enabled on the PC I run this command from, the Remote Assistance session doesn’t connect.
reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\FipsAlgorithmPolicy /v Enabled /t REG_DWORD /d 1
But it works again if I disable FIPS:
reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\FipsAlgorithmPolicy /v Enabled /t REG_DWORD /d 0
It doesn’t matter if the other computer has FIPS enabled or not, just the helper computer that issues the “msra /offerra” command. How do I configure Microsoft Remote Assistance to work with a Windows 7 workstation in FIPS mode?

By default, the connections are encrypted when using Remote Assistance, as it uses RDP. Remote Assistance dosn't support FIPS encryption, but RDP does. Hence, you can configure RDP to use FIPS encryption.
Regarding FIPS encryption with RDP, you can have a look at the following link:

Sharing a Printer With Microsoft Remote Desktop

How do you set it up?
The printer (Epson Stylus Photo 820) is connected through USB to an Intel iMac.
I control a Windows XP Pro PC from the iMac through firewire with Microsoft Remote Desktop and it works fine (although I can't get it to share the internet connection.) I have turned printer-sharing "On" in the iMac Preferences. I have also checked "Printers" in the "Connect automatically to these local devices when logged on to the remote computer" dialog box of MS RDC.
When I go to Add Printer in Windows, I search for a printer and get a tree view with "Microsoft Windows Network" on top and "WORKGROUP" under it. I try to input the printer name, but it tells me it can't find such a printer.
If I go to the Epson control panel under Windows, and click on ports, it shows the name of the iMac on four separate ports, and if I activate one of them it shows the Stylus 820.
But then it doesn't print.
Any ideas?

same problem here. cannot print a document from the remote desktop computer (microsoft) to my local printer connected to an intel mac .please can anybody help I have a offcejet HP g55

Issues with Microsoft Remote Desktop: inconsistent directory redirection

Hi,
I recently upgraded from OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion) to Yosemite. I have issues redirecting directories from my MacBook Pro to the target Windows host. The odd thing is, redirection works for some directories and not for others.
I am running Microsoft Remote Desktop 8.0.13. The version of Yosemite is 10.10.1 (14B25)
The directories I am trying to redirect are (in the order configured in MS RD):
/Users/Shared/Projects-Office/PRO-2014-07-ABC_Aabcd_Aabcde-Aabcdefghi [Replaced the characters in the last directory for security purposes]
/scratch/xchange-buffer
/Volumes/MyPassportStudio/Files-MPS/PRO-ABC
Redirection works for #2 bot not for the others. This is the list of configuration items I have done:
All three directories have been shared identically using System Properties
File permissions for directory # 1 and its parent directories are:
Start directory: /Users/Shared/Projects-Office/PRO-2014-07-ABC_Aabcd_Aabcde-Aabcdefghi
drwxrwsr-x 24 me shared 816 Jan 12 12:27 /Users/Shared/Projects-Office/PRO-2014-07-ABC_Aabcd_Aabcde-Aabcdefghi
drwxrwxr-x 23 metoo shared 782 Sep 9 2014 /Users/Shared/Projects-Office
drwxrwsr-x 18 root shared 612 Dec 13 21:35 /Users/Shared
drwxr-xr-x 10 root admin 340 Dec 15 12:08 /Users
File permissions for directory #2 and its parent directories are:
Start directory: /scratch/xchange-buffer
drwx---r-x 74 me shared 2516 Jan 12 12:26 /scratch/xchange-buffer
drwxr-sr-x 15 me wheel 510 Jun 27 2014 /scratch
File permissions for directory # 3 and its parent directories are:
Start directory: /Volumes/MyPassportStudio/Files-MPS/PRO-RSI
drwxr-xr-x@ 7 me staff 238 Feb 19 15:42 /Volumes/MyPassportStudio/Files-MPS/PRO-RSI
drwxr-xr-x@ 17 me staff 578 Dec 29 16:44 /Volumes/MyPassportStudio/Files-MPS
drwx------@ 30 me staff 1088 Jan 30 08:18 /Volumes/MyPassportStudio
drwxrwxrwt@ 6 root admin 204 Mar 17 21:09 /Volumes
MS Remote Desktop runs with ID me
When attempting to access directory # 1 through RDP/Windows host, the following is shown in the system.log file (/var/log)
Mar 18 14:18:26 My-Host.local sandboxd[223] ([5154]): Microsoft Remote(5154) deny file-read-data /Users/Shared/Projects-Office/PRO-2014-07-ABC_Aabcd_Aabcde-Aabcdefghi
Any ideas as to why this behavior? Can sandboxd be configured to allow access to RDP to read specified directories?
Thank you.

Can't connect remote PC with Microsoft Remote Desktop for Mac after using a new router

I'm using a Windows 8.1 computer as a HTPC to download files and I set it logins automatically and I just need to press the power button then use RD for Mac to control the HTPC without extra monitor, keyboard...
Here is the problem: After I took my Mac and HTPC to another place, I can't connect it with new router now. (I change the PC name to new local IP, nothing else changed)
It shows on screen that:
Unable to connect to remote PC. Please verify Remote Desktop is enabled, the remote PC is turned on and available on the network, and then try again.
I can use shared disk drive of the HTPC on my Mac so I know the connection works.
Thanks!

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Generally, if it is a home network environment, please use IP address of the target computer as the PC name.

Problem connect to my office PC with Microsoft Remote Desktop from my MAC OSX 10.9.1

When I try to connect, I get the following message "Java (TM) is required to display some items on this page" and then a prompt to install Java, which I did already, and verified that it is running on my machine. I have downloaded Chrome
vs Safari for use since Safari is not compatible with Java version. HELP!!

Hi,
As far as I know, Java is not required for the Microsoft Remote Desktop client for Mac.
Please make sure that you download and install this App for the link below.

Copy all of "My Desktops" to another Mac with Microsoft Remote Desktop v8.0.9

I have almost 1,000 entry under "My Desktops" in Microsoft Remote Desktop v8.0.9 and I'm looking for a quick way to transfer all of them to another Mac.
I thought I could just copy the .plist file at:
~/Library/Containers/com.microsoft.rdc.mac/Data/Library/Preferences/com.microsoft.rdc.mac.plist
to my new computer and I'd be good to go but that's not working.
I also found the
~/Library/Containers/com.microsoft.rdc.mac/Data/Library/Application Support/Microsoft Remote Desktop
folder and copied that as well (tho the folders here look to be empty, I see the folder names match entries in the .plist). Yet, "My Desktops" is empty.
I also noticed when I copy the .plist over to the new laptop it's 946 KB in size. I run the RDP client on the new computer and the .plist file size drops down to 10 KB in size.
I really do not want to export all 1,000 entries and copy those files over to the new computer. I've found that the exported files when run require you to enter the username/password verse automatically getting it from (I assume) the keychain.
Is there anyway to copy all my RDP hosts from 1 Mac to another Mac?
Thanks.

Figured this issue out.
Make sure Microsoft Remote Desktop is not running.
Copy the plist file from the old computer:
~/Library/Containers/com.microsoft.rdc.mac/Data/Library/Preferences/com.microsoft.rdc.mac.plist
to the same location on the new computer.
Copy the folder from the old computer:
~/Library/Containers/com.microsoft.rdc.mac/Data/Library/Application Support/Microsoft Remote Desktop
to the same location on the new computer.
$ sudo killall cfprefsd
This killall is the key. Looks like preferences are cached.
I used this URL for help to figure that out.

How to install windows remote desktop services with Microsoft Remote desktop License

Hi
we have plane to install a server in our company, having windows server 2008 R2 - 64 bit. and also buy 10 RD cal.
now how can install RD call after installing windows OS.
kindly help will highly appreciate.
Arvind

Hi Arvind,
On your server, using Server Manager, you need to install RD Session Host and RD Licensing Role Services at minimum. After install you should set the licensing mode to match the type of RDS CALs you purchased as well as Specify the licensing server
name (itself). You may do this in RD Session Host Configuration (tsconfig.msc) or via group policy.
Next in RD Licensing Manager you need to Activate your licensing server. Before you can install your purchased 2012 RDS CALs you will need to contact the Clearinghouse and have them downgraded to 2008. Please have your licensing number,
authorization number, licensing paperwork/emails ready before you call them.
Locate the Microsoft Clearinghouse Telephone Number for Your Country or Region

Solution Manager 4.0 compatibility with Microsoft office 2007

Is there any OSS notes which says that Solution Manager 4.0 is supported with Microsoft Office 2007?

Hello Mitesh,
There is no such SAP note which can provide you information on Solution Manager and Office 2007.
The closest and the most useful note would be SAP note 722513.

Using Microsoft Remote Keyboard on TX2510us with Windows 7

Hi,
I updated my TX2510us with Windows 7 Ultimate, Media Center Edition. Since the update, I've not been able to use the built-in remote or a Microsoft Remote Keyboard for Windows XP Media Center Edition. Neither of these are recognized by the IR port. I've searched for driver updates for the IR port, but haven't been able to find any. Anyone else come across this & have a solution?
Thanks!

Device manager installs a generic windows driver. It is always best to refer to the laptop manufacturer site for the drivers that are meant to optimize your hardware.
To find the latest drivers for your tx2510us, just go to HP.com, click on Support and Drivers (somewhere on the top part of the HP page), select "Download Drivers and Software" and then type "tx2510us". You will then be given a list of operating systems, just select the one you are using and voila, you have your driver page for your laptop. ^^

Many years ago synced iCal with Microsoft program. Since installing Lion whenever I try to create an event in iCal it flashes up message "Unable to open Microsoft sync services Power PC applications no longer supported." How do I get rid of message?

Many years ago synced iCal with Microsoft program. Since installing Lion whenever I try to create an event in iCal it flashes up message "Unable to open Microsoft sync services Power PC applications no longer supported." How do I get rid of message?

Lion no longer supports PowerPC apps. If this is Microsoft Office 2008 (Entourage 2008) then you should disable the syncing services. (I don't have Office 2008 installed anymore so I don't know exactly what it's called anymore.) If you have Microsoft Office 2004 or earlier, then it can't be run on Lion at all since Lion removed Rosetta, which is what allowed a PPC app to run on an Intel based Mac.
Also, I believe Microsoft removed sync services from the current Outlook 2011 (which replaces Entourage) so even upgrading to a newer version of Microsoft Office will not get you back that calendar sync feature. Supposedly Microsoft is working on a new syncing system, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

Your issue is completely different. You are running Snow Leopard. There is no download for Windows Support software for Snow Leopard, hence the error you see. Snow Leopard Windows Support software is on the Snow Leopard installation disk.
You need the Snow Leopard installation disk or a replacement for it.

Can the remote assistance provided by Lenovo premium support be abused by a bad support technician?

Hi,
I am considering purchasing a Lenovo software warranty. I did some homework and I know Lenovo use a 123rescue tool to do remote assistance, which my friend finds very helpful.
Before purchasing it, I want to know how secure is this tool? Can this tool be used by any bad or corrupted technician from Lenovo to secretly install some Trojans or spywares on the computer during the remote access? Because as I understand, the remote access will give a technician ability to operate the computer, although the connect needs user's approval, but what a technician can do after the user approve the connect? I do not know it in details and a little bit curious.
Although Lenovo is a very reputable company, it's still good to make sure that if a user give remote access to a technician, Lenovo do have a way to monitor the whole process and protect the user from any potentially bad support technicians, although I am very sure that it is very very impossible that such bad technician exists inside Lenovo's support team.
Thank you!

Will Apple Pages support a third-party font that is not compatible with Microsoft Word?

Will Apple Pages support a third-party font that is not compatible with Microsoft Word? I do not want to purchase Pages unless I can use it for this one very specific purpose. How can I determine the correct answer before purchase?
Many thanks for any guidance you can offer.

Hmmm ... I see the font in my Font Book and in Suitcase Fusion, but it doesn't appear on the list of fonts in either Word for Mac or Text Edit, no matter what I tried. I attempted quitting all applications, cleaning the cache using Suitcase Fusion, and rebooting the computer, but no dice.
You think this is an installation or configuration problem my local Apple store could help fix ... not an underlying incompatibility? If so, I will take it in.
Please know I sincerely appreciate the help. I'm at my rope's end on a project this evening and truly grateful for the reinforcement. Thank you.
