IOS Remote Desktop App resolves hostname but throws Host is not reachable error.

Hello,
I am trying to use the Remote Desktop app on my iPad running iOS 7.0.2 to connect to a server through our Juniper VPN. When I type the hostname or IP address I get an error that say "Host is not reachable". If I connect through my Mac I have no
problem when on the same VPN. I have looked through all of the setting in Junos Pulse and it is setup to route all traffic through the VPN, and I do not know of anything that would be blocking it on the network end.
Edit: I am connecting to a Windows Server 2008 R2 box with RDP turned on with all types of connections.
Here is the log data for my latest attempt.

Hi,
According to the log, your iPad tried to connect the remote server with IP address 10.100.01.01/32. Please check if it is the correct IP address of the server.
Also, please make sure that your iPad can connect to your VPN network successfully and get a valid IP address so that it can remote your internal server.
Thanks.

IOS Remote Desktop app and computers connected to SBS 2008--can't get it to work

I can connect directly to the server without a remote resource in the IOS app.
But I'd like to be able to connect to computers in the office like we can through RWW. RWW works fine, but not from my phone. (Yes I can connect to the server and take over computers from the phone but I don't want other people in the office to log
into the server first!).
I can never get the remote resources section in the app to connect. I usually get "Unable to locate any remote resources for the URL". error in the resources section. I've tried a simple "https://remote.domain.com", "https://remote.domain.com:987",
etc.
We have a self-signed certificate. I can't think of anything in the server setup that is anything other than normal.
I can do direct connect using "Remote Desktop Connection" in windows 7. In the remote desktop server settings I just put remote.domain.com and "Ask for password (NTLM)" for the login method. Then on the general tab I have just the
simple computer name and the domain\username. That's all I had to setup to get that to work.
Any suggestions?

Hi Michael,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Have you setup RD Gateway server in your environment? Are you trying to access the RWW through it?
On server side you can choose “Bypass RD Gateway server for local addresses” under RemoteApp manager and check the result.
For more information, you can check below links for detail.

Microsoft Remote Desktop app ios7 to Windows 8.1 Pro

For anyone using an iPad to remote desktop to your Windows 8.1 pro 64 bit computer, I recently posted the following distress call in the Microsoft Community Windows - Windows 8.1 - Other Windows apps by Microsoft - Other.
A Microsoft Support Engineer there suggested I post it here instead. The 1st part is the distress part, the 2nd part is how I finally solved it and then a different problem started ...
Part 1
Help, I'm going crazy trying to get this Microsoft Remote Desktop app on ios7 to connect to my computer running Windows 8.1.
I've added my computer name, user name and password, but even though it starts to connect it never does and gives me an error message saying:
Timeout while resolving hostname
I've set up my computer to allow remote connections and allow connections only from computers running blah, blah, blah.
What am I doing wrong?
In the past I was able to use logmein free without any problems until they stopped the free version. I can also get through using Team Viewer, so why won't the RD Client app work?
Part 2
Doesn't matter now as I ended up working out that it didn't work with my computer name. What I had to do is go to cmd and type ipconfig to find
the right ip address and insert it where it asked for computer name and it worked! Of course, then it kept disconnecting, so I've totally abandoned it and will use Team Viewer instead (until I'm willing to try again).
So that's where I'm up to.
I didn't find anything useful in this TechNet article: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn473013.aspx
So any suggestions on how to make Microsoft's RD Client app on ios work without disconnecting all the time?

Hi,
For this issue,as Milos said,using the host name requires your network to resolve the host name properly through DNS.
So this issue is related to DNS.In many home network configurations only the IP address will work properly.
Regarding DNS,I suggest you check the configuration on the ipad.
Regarding how to add host name to IOS,I suggest you contact apple support for help.

Setting up Remote Desktop Apps for access from a Mac with 2FA

Hi
Setting up Remote Desktop Apps for access from a Mac with 2FA.
I have a server 2012 remote access gateway, with remote apps published(which uses single signon), behind a 2FA connection (web based) and want to know if its possible to allow macs to connect to the remote Apps behind it. i cannot permanently remove any
of the above setup as it is a requirement.
When i connect from a mac i can login to both the 2FA and remote access web pages and see all the apps but when i click on any app it downloads it to the mac and when i try to run it using Remote Desktop App for MAC i get an error :
"httpendpointexception: 4, The non-proxy http connection failed to connect with the message: 500 internal Server Error."
I have tried with 2fa turned off for testing and get the same result.Does it support 2012 TSGW server? does it support Remote desktop apps? as i cant find a definitive answer on either.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
From Error description it seems to be a communication issue between your Mac and your RD gateway server. If you connect from extranet, you may need Remote Desktop Gateway or a VPN/Direct Access connection to your intranet, or forward port 3389 on your router.
500 Internal Server Error seems to be a HTTP related error.
The HTTP status code in IIS 7.0, IIS 7.5, and IIS 8.0
Also, please double check the settings if you have a RD gateway implemented in you intranet.
http://redmondmag.com/articles/2013/12/24/rd-gateway-in-windows-server.aspx
In Windows Server 2012 R2 RD Gateway pluggable authentication is also introduced. This allows custom authentication routines to be used with RD Gateway. For example building a two-factor solution on top of RD Gateway is now possible which allows doing token-authentication
to the RD Gateway which works seamlessly with RD Web Access or RDP file launching.
Please check below article for more information.
Windows Server 2012 R2 is coming what does this add to RDS – VDI
In addition, please provide the log file from the client for further research.

Hope it helps!

Miracle : remote desktop app that actually works perfectly

New guy here...not new to Android, but very new to the TT (aren't we all, I guess). Loving it...this is the computer I've waited 35 years for. Thanks, Toshiba! As many of us know, one of the big problems w Android is the highly variable...and frequently low...quality of apps (even paid apps). I tend to buy a lot of apps just looking for one which will really get the job done. And frequently come away feeling suckered yet again. So when I went looking for a remote desktop app to run my MacBook from inside my TT (for intensive tasks like REAL spreadsheets) I was prepared for the worst (full-featured remote desktop is a pretty sophisticated task) but, surprisingly, nailed it on the first try. I don't usually plug products, but in case your needs are like mine, here goes: Splashtop Remote Desktop HD. Awesome. Stable. Fast. Ten bucks. If I recall correctly there are versions for both Mac and Win desktops. On my home wireless network there is zero perceptible lag. It claims to work over the intertubes, too, but I haven't tried that yet, and I'm prepared to learn that there the lag might be annoying. The ability to bring up your desktop on your TT, run any program there or fetch any file (I use Wuala on both Mac and TT to facilitate that) is pretty awesome. I intend to make the TT my primary business travel machine, which always raises the threat of those "oops...I don't have the file (or the software) I need on this machine" moments. That's what remote desktops are for. But lately, seeing how well Splashtop works, I find myself using it around the house, too. For instance I've given up on trying to find an Android spreadsheet app that isn't lame and slooooow (even Google Docs doesn't do it for me); now I just connect to my Mac, fire up Excel, and get the job done right. If you sometimes need (or just want) the power of a desktop machine on your TT, drop a dime and get this. You can thank me later. You should also pick up a stylus if you don't already have one (I'm loving the Kensington), because desktop controls rendered on a ten-inch screen can be kind of tiny to poke accurately with your fat fingers. Enjoy! P.s.: Nope, I'm not affiliated with Splashtop. I just really appreciate stuff that works well, is powerful, and gives good value. Plus I'm just tickled to be running my desktop on my TT with no compromises.

I have looked at Splashtop, but before getting it, I wonder if it is better than the LogMeIn Ignition that comes (although a trial) with the TT. I use LogMeIn a lot with desktops and laptops, but it can be very laggy depending onP the internet connection. I would welcome your views as I intend to use one of these apps a lot!

HT2476 does mountain lion have remote desktop app?

Hi does anybody know if Mountain Lion has remote desktop app included. if not how do you get it ?

Hmmmmm... OK y'all have got me thinking.
I normally run disk check and repair, this time it found a number of files and links related to printers and image devices, stuff that isn't likely part of the issue. There were three links, however, related to core graphics. the permissionss were rwxr-xr-x when they should be rwxrwxrwx. I don't think those are involved, but alas they are fixed.
It seems like much of my issues seems to revolve around the mounting/access of resources outside my laptop, be it icloud, nfs server, samba server, etc. RIght at this moment, Finder is hung hard. I tried to force restart it, and in the Force quit menu I now see two Finders. One will kill and restart immediately, one does nothing. And I can't open a finder window period.
In fact, just before writing this, I was attempting to edit a text document in StarOffice, and StarOffice went to lunch trying to access my samba share. Now before y'all go nuts about any samba server side issues, let me say that while my MBP is having issues accessing my samba shares, none of my other computing devices are. W7 laptop pulls up samba file system as fast as if not faster than it's own local file systems. My other MBP (older core2 duo, but still on mountain lion) does not seem to have any issues. I don't believe it a server side issue.
So I asked myself, what's different on my 2.66 gb i7 MBP?? It just occurred to me that I have one piece of software that's pretty deeply rooted in file system management.... Tuxera NFS. I see that it has not been updated since updating to Mountain Lion, so I am going to check that out, and will post results.

Why can I no longer use my remote Desktop Apps?

I have the unlimited data plan on my Droid Razr (I know its a tad dated) and was able to use these apps flawlessly until about 2 months ago. It says that I am unable to reach the host due to the configuration of the network I am using. Wifi still works and connects at home, but it seems that there are issues when trying to do so via both Google remote desktop app and Splashtop. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Let's look further into this nkfitz1313! Did anything specific take place when this began (new phone, update)? Have you tried working with your home internet provider to try changing the beginning and end ranges of the IP range on your router? Please share more details. Thank you.

Can we implement site catalyst for Remote desktop app like MS dynamics NAV?

Can we implement site catalyst for Remote desktop app like MS dynamics NAV?
please throw some insight

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Does this happens for this particular application?
For a test you can publish Notepad\WordPad as RemoteApp and check whether facing same issue. Please check the result and let us know. If it’s working normally then might seems there is some configuration issue with MS Dynamics App.
Does this happens for all user or specific users?
Which version of RDP Client you are using for client system?
Try to install RDP 8.1 for better feature.
Update for RemoteApp and Desktop Connections feature is available for Windows

Password expires when using the Remote Desktop App in Android

When the password expires, users using the Microsoft Remote Desktop App in Android cannot logon to the system.
Is there a way for them to be notified of the password expiry and having a chance to change the password?
Cheers.
Andrew

Hi Andrew,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
You can set the GPO policy, “Interactive Logon: Prompt user to change password before expiration” under
Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Local Policies\Security Options which will let the user prompts to change their password before specific limit.
More information.
How to change the password expiry notice default

Remote Desktop Apps via Andriod Remote Resource

Hi,
My remote desktop was working fine along with the Android app that connection to remote resources. The servers certificate was not renewed in time, so I went through getting all that replaced. I got that working in the IIS, exported the certificate from
IIS and imported it back into the remote desktops settings under the 4 titles : RD Connection Broker - enable single sign on, rd connection broker - publishing, rd web access, rd gateway. They are all trusted and ok.
So when I use the webpage to access the remote desktop apps with a PC it all works fine. no issues with certificates it just works. However when I come to use the remote resources in the android app, the apps appear, when you click on them it runs through
a connection splash screen then just disappears. No error, nothing. It says connection rdp, negotiating connection, connecting rdp then just disappears.
I have tried clearing the data and cache to remote desktop app, made no difference.
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks
MyPchealth

Hi,
Please check whether you have successful login connection to remote resource?
In addition please provide the log for further research.
Login in the APP, then go to settings, under 'support' there is an option ‘Send log via email’ and then it will reach to the email inbox which is provided.
Hope it helps!
Thanks.

Hi everyone! I tried to install the new iOs 7 on my iphone 4, but it wasn't completed (showing error 4005). Now, my iphone is stuck on the itunes' logo with the usb cord, and I can't use my phone. And itunes doesn't detect my iphone when I connect it on my computer, so I can't put it in recovery mode or someting like that... What can I do?? I tried everything they tell me to do in the apple support but nothing seems to work. Thank you!

No problem, glad to help!
Update: my PC USB hub was connected to a USB 3 port, I connected the 30 pin cable directly to my PC, And the restore worked just fine. Restored phone from iCloud backup and seems to be working fine.

IOS Remote Desktop Client Logon Issue Prompts to Logon 3 Times with RDGW

I have an issue when connecting from the Remote Desktop client iOS on multiple iPads/users.
First a little background: We have an RDS Web Access / RDS Gateway (2012 R2) setup and properly configured. We can logon using it just fine from the Mac OS version of the app, Android version of the app, or from a Windows PC. When we try to
connect via the iOS app we get the prompt to logon 3 times. Due to security reasons, we do not want them to store their credentials on the iPads, which is the only method I have found to eliminate the triple password entry. It only prompts once on the Mac
OS version, Android version or from a Windows PC.
The password isn't being entered incorrectly and the servers are not registering any Audit Failures for the logon attempts. Can you assist?
Additionally I would like to recommend the addition of a feature to be able to setup remote resources but prompt for the password on app launch for security reasons. That way they would have to enter it once but then they could access any resources needed.
Thanks,
Nate L

I am not comfortable posting the entire log file but let me give you the high level summary. The settings section for the active connection:

It then attempts to connect to the InternalServerHostName.domain.local.

Then it goes through the interface list, not using any proxy, correlation id, then resolves name:

Then it displays the same settings again except for the gwAutodetectState line changing to:

Then it connects ok. I went to our firewall (MS Forefront TMG) and monitored for traffic from the iPad iOS App (based on network it is on). I don't see the initial connection attempt at all, which is expected because according to the log above it looks
like it tries to connect to the host directly...which it shouldn't?
Then in the second attempt I see it trying to go to http://ExternalRDSGatewayHostName:443/remoteDesktopGateway/ which again it shouldn't be doing because that URL (the remoteDesktopGateway) is not part of the RDSGW or RDSWA 2012 R2 IIS
config or am I missing something? It should be going to Rpc or RDWeb right? or do I need to allow that path through too?
Thanks,
Nate
