Howto access with Remote Desktop a Xserve with firewall service on

Hello,
When I activate the firewall service of a Xserve running the OSX Server (10.4.11), I cannot anymore connect to the Xserver with Apple Remote Desktop. I opened different ports which seemed to be related with ARD but without success.
What should I do to allow the ARD access when firewall is running ?
Jean

Have a look at this: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1629
Make sure you're opening all of the required ARD ports.

Problems accessing 1 remote desktop when connected with VPN

Hi everyone,
I have an ASA 5505 and have a problem where when I connect through VPN I can RDP into a server using its internal address but I cannot RDP to another server using its internal address.
The one I can connect to has an IP of 192.168.2.10 and the one I cannot connect to has an IP of 192.168.2.11 on port 3390.
Both rules are configured exactly the same except for the IP addresses and I cannot see why I cannot connect to this one server.
I am also able to connect to my camera system with an IP 192.168.2.25 on port 37777 and able to ping any other device on the internal network.
I've also tried pinging it and telneting to port 3390 with no success.
Here is the config.

Thanks for your help

Ok,
So you basically have configured the router so that you can connect directly to the ASA using the Cisco VPN Client. And also the objective was to in the end only allow traffic to the LAN through the VPN Client connection ONLY.
It would seem to me to achieve that, you would only need the following NAT configurations
VPN Client NAT0 / NAT Exempt / Identity NAT
object network LAN
subnet 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0
object network VPN-POOL
subnet 10.1.1.128 255.255.255.128
nat (inside,outside) source static LAN LAN destination static VPN-POOL VPN-POOL
The purpose of the above NAT configuration is simply to tell the ASA that dont do any kind of NAT when there is traffic between the LAN network of 192.168.2.0/24 and the VPN Pool of 10.1.1.128/25. This way if you have any additional hosts on the LAN that need to be connected to, you wont have to make any form of changes to the NAT configurations for the VPN client users. You just allow the connections in the ACL (explained later below)
Default PAT
object-group network DEFAULT-PAT-SOURCE
network-object 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0
nat (inside,outside) after-auto source dynamic DEFAULT-PAT-SOURCE interface
This configurations purpose is just to replace the earlier Dynamic PAT rule on the ASA. I guess your router will be doing the translation from the ASA "outside" interface IP address to the routers public IP address and this configuration should therefore allow normal Internet usage from the LAN.
I would suggest removing all the other NAT configuration before adding these.
Controlling VPN clients access to internal resources
Also I assume that your current VPN client is configured as Full Tunnel. In other words it will tunnel all traffic to the the VPN connection while its active?
To control the traffic coming from the VPN Client users I would suggest that you do the following
Configure "no sysopt connection permit-vpn" This will change the ASA operation so that connections coming through a VPN connections ARE NOT allowed by default to bypass the "outside" interface ACL. Therefore after this change you can allow the connections you need in the "outside" interface ACL.
Configure any rules you need regarding the VPN client connections to the "outside" interface ACL. Though I guess they already exist since you are connecting there without the VPN also
I cant guarantee this with 100% certainty but it would seem to me that the above things should get you to the point where you can access the internal resources ONLY after when you have connected to the ASA through the VPN client connection. Naturally take precautions like configuration backups if you are going to do major configuration changes. Also if you are remotely managing the ASA then you also have the option to configure a timer on the ASA after which it will automatically reload. This could help in situations where a missconfiguration breaks you management connection and you have no other way to connect remotely. Then the ASA would simply reboot after the timer ran out and also reboot with the original configuration (provided you hadnt saved anything in between)
Why are you using a different port for the other devices RDP connection? I can understand it if its used through the Internet but if the RDP connection would be used through the VPN Client only then I dont think there is no need to manipulate the default port of 3389 on the server or on the ASA.
Also naturally if there is something on the actual server side preventing these connections then these configuration changes might not help at all.
Let me know if I have understood something wrong

Problem with Remote Desktop on iPad 2 and windows 8.1 pro

I downloaded the Microsoft Remote Desktop app from the App Store on my iPad 2. I typed in the IP address for my windows 8.1 pro computer on my iPad 2 in school to try connecting to my windows 8.1 pro computer at home. I'm having
a hard time doing it. Do I need a rd remote gateway to access my computer from outside my local network. If so, how do I find my gateway server name? Also, I saw somewhere that I have to press accept in a pop up message on the computer your trying to connect
to. Is this true? No one is home during the day and my iPad 2 has to stay in school. Can you please give me a step by step guide with photos to help me connect to my windows 8.1 pro computer from my iPad 2 from school, which is of course outside my local network.

Hi,

Ipad bluetooth keyboard not working with remote desktop

My clients ipad bluetooth keyboard works any other time, just not when connected to his servers via the remote desktop. PC Windows 7 Servers.
I'm trying to get the keyboard information, but any ideas?

Are you using an app like LogMeIn Ignition to access your servers? I believe that LogMeIn Ignition requires you to tap a little keyboard button near the bottom of the screen to activate use of the keyboard (that's how it works in Splashtop Remote, can't be much different in LogMeIn Ignition.)
Are you sure the app you have supports blue tooth keyboard support with remote desktop? (not sure if they have to, I just recall seeing this in Splashtop patch notes awhile ago.)

Remote desktop connection issue with an RDP client while connecting to some of windows 2008 and 2003 operating system flavors and not receiving SDin value choice 26 from DomainMCSPDU

Hi Team
We have our RDP client and i came across with one issue "Expected data got 3" with this client.
This issue is getting while connecting some of below operating system flavors.
Microsoft Windows 2008 Enterprise edition
Microsoft Windows 2008 Standard edition
Microsoft Windows 2003 servers
When we are trying to get RDP to those servers with our client, getting "Expected data got 3" error. One more main thing here is the specified error is not getting for all the servers of same operating system in above list.
Able to get the RDP console for those servers using mstsc client.
When i read the [MS-RDPBCGR] specification, i found the below points
mcsSDin (variable): Variable-length PER-encoded MCS Domain PDU (DomainMCSPDU) which encapsulates an MCS Send Data Indication structure (SDin, choice 26 from DomainMCSPDU), as specified in [T125] section 11.33 (the ASN.1 structure definitions
are given in [T125] section 7, parts 7 and 10). The userData field of the MCS Send Data Indication contains a Security Header and a Valid Client License Data (section 2.2.1.12.1) structure.
In my code i am not getting SDin value as 26. Is it the problem with Remote desktop Licensing in RDP servers as specified in the specification like "The userData field of the MCS Send Data Indication contains a Security Header and a Valid
Client License Data (section 2.2.1.12.1) structure."
Could you please explain me is this issue is happening due to Licence configuration in RDP server and please provide support with server side configuration if any because our code works for other servers ?
Thanks & Regards,
Pavan G.

Hello Pavan -
Thanks for contacting Microsoft Support. I'm researching this for you and request you to please send me mail at dochelp @ Microsoft dot com so that I can share tools and techniques to collect some traces and analyze.
Thanks.

Remote desktop not working with dot1x authenticated machines

Hi,
we are using machine and user authentication , when machine at logoff the machine is authenticated so users can RDP to it
but after logging in the remote desktop session goes down because after user authentication the machine gets a new ip address .
is there any way to avoid this issue ?

I am back after a hectic week on this issue...I could find out something very interesting... At times of convergence, the new path takes sometime to calculate the MRU... Mean to say when you issue the command ping mpls pseudowire destn .. The new path has an MRU of 0 for some 5 seconds..After 5-6 seconds MRU comes back with 1700..This screws up the applications like mail synchronization etc.
Apart from this I found a lot of OSPF flapping due to aggresive BFD timers also, which creates issues with remote desktop. I am unable to convince myself on the MRU issue why it happens. IOS issues on 6524??

Remote Desktop Not working with EoMPLS

I am hosting a HVPLS domain on my 7613 Core router where my spokes (6524ME) terminate the port based Pseudowires. All spokes have an MTU size of 1522. The clients are have intermitent problems with Windows Remote Desktop and mail synchronization. This clearly is an indication of an MTU issue. After doing a little bit of research I found, I need to decrease the MTU to make RDP work properly. Is it possible to reduce MTU of an L3 port to less than 1500?. Can i adjust my tcp-mss on the port where my xconnect is originated?
Thanks in advance guys..

Easy print not working on a 64 bit Windows 8.1 client with Remote Desktop connection version 8.1

Easy print is not working on a 64 bit Windows 8.1 client with Remote Desktop connection version 8.1 . Printers dont get redirected when you connect to the terminal server. The server we are connecting to has Windows 2008 server. On 32 bit Windows
7 and windows XP clients Easy print is working fine and printers get redirected in terminal server.

I am having the exact same problem. Windows 7 works fine, but 8.1 will not redirect printers. Others said to check local policy terminal services settings and my setting are all set as they should.
I think Windows 8.1 is not telling the terminal server what printers it has.

Printing quality with Remote desktop technologies

Hello,
I manage several servers using Remote Desktop Technologies : 2003 R2 Terminal services, 2008 R2 RDS, 32/64 bits...
I upgraded recently to Adobe Reader X and I observe a strange behaviour : when I connect to theses servers with my RDP client, fonts are not the same as displayed, letters are glued without any spaces between them BUT if I connect to the console (HP ILO or vmware console), print quality is fine !!!!
I'm still making comparative tests but I'm stuck.
Any ideas ? I didn't find any thread related to this problem in the forums.
Kind regards,
Sebastien

Hi!
I have the same problem as you!
Other applications works fine with printredirects, but not Adobe Reader X. I have tried to modify the GPO to disable Remote Desktop Easy Print as i seen on Microsoft forums to try on printing errors, but no luck.
I have checked that the printerdriver seems to be the correct one for the local printer, but it does not matter.
Have you found out anything please let me know.
Best regards

Stuck with Remote Desktop 3 without the serial number:(

I am the new tech assistant for my lab of 35 macs..
The computer used for managing the lab with remote desktop has crashed.
I have found an older model mac with remote desktop. I'd like to transfer that application
to my newer mac...but It will ask me for the serial number of which I do not have.
The old tech assistant has gone..and along with it...the software and document.
I have turned this lab upside down and I've found the box Apple Remote Desktop 3
but nothing else. I thought maybe the serial number would be on it. But I see
only the bar code... I am frustrated to no end. They don't answer my emails for help
Sincerely,
Love using Apple Remote Desktop 3 user but can not anymore:(

IIRC the serial number was never on the outside of the box so have you looked inside the box? Do you see the booklet that came with the box? Is the Serial Number inside? The Serial Number takes this form:
XARD-030-000-x-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx-x
Who is not answering your emails for help?
Having read the terms and conditions of this forum prior to posting you'll know these are user-to-user forums and Apple are not listening, so it's difficult to see what any of us here can do to help? Perhaps if you find the purchase receipt you might be able to contact your local Apple Rep and ask if they have a record of it?
You can still use Remote Desktop by purchasing it again from the App Store. It costs far, far less than the installer media version and does not require a serial number. All you need is an Apple ID and an associated debit or credit card.

Troubleshooting error with Remote Desktop 3.1

Have OSX Server 10.4.10 on a powerPC with Remote Desktop 2.2, Security scans advise to update to Remote Desktop Client 3.1. Everytime I do this I get this error "The Remote Desktop Administrator software failed to start du to an unexpected error. The Remote Desktop software may not be installed correctly or the computer may require a restart."
I have two machines on this network that are giving this error, one this server and the other a laptop. Version 2.2 was running and working just fine prior to the update, now its broke. Is there a log file somewhere to try to figure this error out? Has anyone else experienced this issue? I have already tried to reset permissions, and reboot, but nothing works.

Just to confirm my understanding, you are running the ARD 2.2 Administrator on the server, and something is advising you to upgrade that system to the ARD 3.1 client? If that's the situation, then do not upgrade. The 3.x client will not work with the ARD 2.2 administrator. If you did indeed upgrade, you'll need remove ARD using the instructions here and then reinstall ARD 2.2 from your installation disks.
Similarly, if you've upgraded any client workstation to the 3.x client, you'll need to remove it and reinstall the 2.2 client using this installer. It says it's an "updater", but it will work anyway.
Hope this helps.

Hardware acceleration has been disabled because it is in compatible with remote desktop

So I go and lock my pc only to come and find that after effects says hardware acceleration has been disabled because it's incompatible with remote desktop
I have looked around and others have said to delete a certain preference file but they did not give the file location
Does anyone know where this pref file is?

And what is the question? C'mon, the files and folders are properly labeled. Don't make it any more complicated...

Web Access for Remote Desktop on Windows Server 2012

Hello,
i've a Windows Server 2012 without a domain. So i installed the remote desktop session host, the remote desktop license server and the remote desktop gateway as a server role only. All is working fine. Without a domain, no management tools for remote
desktop are available. So i configure the remote desktop via the registry. I define (via registry) some remoteapps, too. All values are copied from a running Windows Server 2008 R2. So the remoteapps are runing.
Now i want to use the new Microsoft Remote Desktop client for Android. To use a remoteapp i must define a remote resource. To define a remote resource i need a url to the web access for remote desktop. So i installed the web access. But if i login to the
web access, i don't see any remoteapp. What's wrong? I've set the ShowInTSWA to 1. What must i do to access an existing remoteapp via web access?
Martin

Hi Martin,
Server 2012 RD Web Access is designed to retrieve published RemoteApps and Desktops from a Server 2012 RD Connection Broker and/or a Server 2008 R2 RD Session Host server. From your description it doesn't appear that you are using either of the above.
I know it is a more complicated set up, but you should consider having a domain, creating a RDS deployment, etc., so that you can use the full featureset as it was intended. You can do it all on a single server if needed. For Server 2012
there is a hotfix that needs to be applied to permit RD Connection Broker to work on the same server instance as active directory.

Accessing a Remote Desktop

I would like to access a remote desktop. Apple gives information on setting up your own remote desktop to be able to access the Mac but I need to use my Mac to access another remote desktop. Is this possible and if so, how?

If you want to share the screen of another Mac, see:
http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/how-to-turn-on-screen-sharing-in-mac-os-x- lion.html
If you want to access a Windows system, download Microsoft's Remote Desktop Connection Client for Mac.
