How to control windows XP machine with ARD (by using a VNC Client on the PC

I have TightVNC on the Windows machine and I can control it fine with Chicken of the VNC on the Mac; however, I would like to control the Windows machine with ARD like Apple's website states.
How do I do this?
thanks
Matt

Thanks, I found my problem to be the VNC client I was using on the PC's. I was using TightVNC and while it worked for Chicken, it did not work for ARD. Once I installed RealVNC and configured it everything worked beautifully.
thanks
Matt

  • Sharing p4014n printer on windows 7 machine with XP machine

    I have installed a Laserjet P4014n on a new Windows 7 machine with the USB connection - I allowed it to detect and install the drivers automatically.  The printer works great on the Win7 machine.
    I shared the printer and would now like to have an XP machine also be able to use it for printing.  However when I add a printer and I browse out to the shared printer on the Win7 machine,  the XP machine gives the error:  "The server for the HP LaserJet P4014/P4015 PCL6 printer does not have the correct printer driver installed.  If you want to search for the proper driver click OK.  Otherwise click Cancel..."  I tried to find the correct driver (.INF) file on the CD that came with the printer, but it does not seem to like any of the files on the CD.
    I have tried to install on the XP machine the drivers using the CD that came with the printer, but because there is not a printer connected, it will not install.  I have also downloaded the XP drivers (PCL6 and Universal Printer Drivers for PCL5 and PCL6)  for the printer from the HP website, and tried to browse to those when installing the drivers but it still cannot find a file it likes.
    What file should I be looking for on the CD or downloaded files for XP? 
    I also tried to add additional drivers on the Win7 machine but again can not find a file that installs from the CD or downloaded files.

    i am having the same problem. the printer is installed on a new windows 7 computer and we are trying to share it to a windows vista computer. did you figure out how to get it to work?! we r getting very frustrated!!

  • How to install Windows 8.1 with Windows 8 Product key?

    I have purchased Upgrade pack from Windows 7 to Windows 8. I have also Updated the OS to windows 8.1 through Store. How to install Windows 8.1 with Windows 8 Product key?

    The download link for the Windows 8.1 installer at the Upgrade with Product Key Only does not accept a Windows 8.0 product key. I ended up using the trick suggested by Andre Ziegler in this thread to obtain the 8.1 download independent of the Windows
    Store, but I haven't yet checked if the 8.0 key works from 8.1 Setup.
    I do IT for a living but I have plenty of family members that bring their notebook PCs to me and ask me to do the heavy lifting, and I'd rather not re-download the same 3.6 GB every single time someone tells me to fix their PC. I also want to be able to
    re-install 8.1 from the source media in case of a catastrophic hard disk failure and I have to replace the disk.
    As an aside, tools that retrieve product keys for installed products end up retrieving the 8.0 product key from an 8.1 install that was upgraded via the Store.  It kind-of makes sense that an 8.0 key could work to install 8.1 because 8.1 is supposed
    to be a free upgrade for licensed 8.0 users, but this doesn't seem to work until after 8.1 is successfully installed via some trickery and the user supplies the 8.0 key to activate it.

    Do you have your SQL server set to Windows Authentication mode only?
    You should change it to allow mixed authentication. You can do this in SQL Server Management Studio under Server Properties -> Security.

    Hey robr72339266,
    With a single user license, you can install Acrobat on maximum two computers, say, your laptop at work and desktop at office.
    But, you cannot use Acrobat on both the machines simultaneously.
    You will first need to deactivate Acrobat from the old machine, then install and activate the software on the new OS with the same serial key.
    Please Contact | Adobe to seek help on the same.

  • Could anyone please let me know how to set a ICC profile with Acrobat dlls using Csharp or VB

    Could anyone please let me know how to set a ICC profile with Acrobat dlls using Csharp or VB

    Cant we even use the dlls in an application?
    In order to automate Acrobat, you need to have Acrobat installed. There is
    nothing you can do with just the DLLs. As was already stated, Acrobat is
    not licensed for use on a server, but regardless of that, it's also
    not technically suitable for server use. You need to find a solution
    outside of Acrobat to solve your problem.
    It also seems that you don't have a good understanding of what is going in
    inside a PDF file. PDF is a very complex file format, and based on
    your questions
    and followup questions, you need to spend a considerable amount of time
    getting familiar with the PDF file format to understand how color works in
    the PDF context. Reader the PDF spec, while paying special attention to the
    section about color. You will find out that if you want to convert the
    color space of a "PDF file", you actually need to convert the color space
    associated with every single object in your PDF file. That is fairly simple
    for vector graphic and text, but when it comes to images, you may have to
    convert the image data. Once you have a good understanding of what it is
    you need to do within the PDF file, then you can start looking for tools
    that allow you to do that. Again, Acrobat and therefore the Acrobat SDK is
    not suitable for this task. If you want to stay with Adobe products take a
    serious look at the PDF Library, which his licensed through Datalogics (
    http://www.datalogics.com/products/pdf/pdflibrary/). As you've mentioned,
    there are other, non-Adobe PDF libraries that you can also use, but this is
    the Acrobat SDK forum, so I won't discuss any of those 3rd party solutions.
    You are wasting your time while looking for a simple solution that does not
    exist.

  • How do I change parental controls on multiple machines through ARD

    I am trying to manage 36 new iMacs in a high school classroom setting. I need to adjust the parental controls on all 36 machines so that they all have the same restrictions. I am running ARD but cannot figure out how to do that... any ideas?

    You could probably write a UNIX script that would pull from a list of MAC addresses for each computer and send the appropriate IP address, but unless you have a lot of computers you need to change, writing such a script may be more work than just sending the commands individually.
    Of course if you change the IP address on a computer you're working with via ARD, you'll sort of be pulling the ladder out from under yourself, so the task will never report as completed. You'll need to quit it manually and re-add the systems. This may also affect running of a script for further systems; I've not tried to change IP addresses en masse so I don't know.

  • How to create Windows 7 Homegroup with Verizon Router

    I have a desktop and a laptop, both running Windows 7 (the desktop is running Windows 7 Home Premium, the laptop  is running Windows Ultimate).  With XP I had a nice network and could share printerhs, files, etc .
    After I upgraded both machines from XP to windows 7 I cannot get the homegroup to create AND share.  I can create a homegroup on either machine, but in either case the other machine cannot see the home network.
    Windows 7 says that Homegroup requires IPv6, but Verizon Routers don't support this protocol.  I have attempted, as noted on the internet, to disable IPv6 on both computers,  but this didn't seem to solve the problem.  I chatted with an Verizon tech support person who told me no IPv6 routers.  
    I am looking for suggestions on how to successfully network my computers with Windows 7 and my Verizon router.  (Actiontec M1424-WR).  We previously tried to put another router in the interface to do wireless and that didn't work.  
    Thank you.

    IPv6 connectivity needs to be enabled on the Windows 7 machines to support HomeGroup networking. Make sure you re-enable those. Once IPv6 is re-enabled, verify that the PCs are at least holding a Link-Local IPv6 address. Open up command prompt and type in "ipconfig" to verify it is holding something, first of all. It's also a good idea to make sure Teredo is in working order as well, as it's considered to be needed in order to use IPv6 on an IPv4 router.

  • How to Control authorization for users with certain status for level 2 WBS Element

    Dear All,
    Is there any standard way or enhancement available to control authorization for users with certain status for WBS Element i.e. for example
    Pre-requisite:
    There is only 2 level of project i.e.
    Lev_ WBSE_______Description
    1___ 7-14.E_______summay outage controller
    2___ 7-14.E.2310__ Plant/unit # 2310
    2___ 7-14.E.2310__ Plant/unit # 2220
    Project Controller  (authorization role assigned "Z_PS_OP7_OTGCON_C") have all project level authorization
    Plant/Unit Controller (authorization role assigned "Z_PS_OP7_PLNTOTG_C_2310") have only level 2 authorization with enhancement that we did in system by Z table.
    User ID_ Plant #
    123345_ 2310
    122455_ 2220
    Issue:
    After System Status released and User Status approved the WBS basic date for Plant/Units should be restricted from updating/changing by Plant/Unit Controller level and only project controller should have this authority.
    Solution required: 
    Can any one tell how to control this scenario either by standard or enhancement available to control authorization
