Logging into a remote server Windows prepopulated my domain name and I don't want it to.

I am logging into a web server using an old and no longer supported Microsoft software but when I do this the username is automatically populated with ALASTAIR-PC/Administrator. When I select another account the domain still shows ALASTAIR-PC. It's that
domain that is preventing me logging into the server. I also tried to enter the IP address of the server but again it's still showning the domain name.
Hence... how can I stop the ALASTAIR-PC showning?
Or
Is there a way for the web server recognising my domain and thus letting me sign in?

Hi,
You can type"\" before User name, it would clear the default domain login. If I misundertand your meaning, please feel free let us know.

Can I use ASUS VM60-G072R Desktop (like mini Mac) with my iMac all in one computer? I need to use Windows version of QB and I don't want to buy a PC tower or laptop.

I need to use the Windows version of Quickbooks Pro and I don't want to use Parallel or buy a PC tower or laptop. Can I use ASUS VM60-G072R Desktop (like Apple Mini) with my iMac all-in-one computer?

Thank you Kappy. I guess I have to decide to purchase a separate monitor and keyboard for this mini PC computer then. And also find extra space in my office. I'm happy you answered my question so quickly.

I can't log into icloud from my Windows 8 PC, but I can from my Windows XP PC

I had my old Vista PC upgraded to Windows 8. I just tried to log into www.icloud.com, but after entering my username and my password nothing happens. No errors, nor messages. Fortunately, I can remotely log into my work PC which is a Windows XP. Logging in is no problem at all for my XP. I get in and do what I need to do. This would seem to eliminate a server issue.
Is the icloud website not available for Windows 8?
Thank you!

Have you tried in another Browser ?

Trying to log into a RDS server using cached credentials

I have a Windows Server 2012 R2 with Remote Desktop Services installed and it is a member server in my domain.   As a test, I have cut the network connection between the RDS server and the domain controller.   I can log into the
RDS server at the console with my cached domain account, but I can't RDP into the server with my cached domain accout.   It is telling me the specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted.   Does RDS sessions not
use cached credentials ?    I have set the Group Policy Option: Interactive logon: Number of previous logons to cache (in case domain controller is not available) to 30.   That didn't seem to make any difference. Thanks for any
help with this problem.

Hi,
By default Network Level Authentication (NLA) will be used for RDP connections, and this requires the domain controller to be available. If you needed to you could disable the requirement to use NLA in the collection properties and set a custom rdp
property so that clients would not attempt to use NLA when they connect. The downside of this approach is clients will never use NLA when connecting and instead will see a server-side log on screen, and may get multiple prompts for credentials.
It is preferred to use NLA where possible, which in most cases it is since modern clients support it.

I have two suggestions. Firstly, use the [code] tag to format your post. Secondly, log the output to a file and post the first 10 or 20 lines.

Logging into a specific server in a terminal server farm

We have several terminal server farms and in each farm we have the need for 1 user to always log into a specific server in the farm. This is due to a little piece of sortware that is required for a device that only this one user has and
the fact the it is licensed to only one server. The user must use that server for it to work. I want to include this server in the farm because it seems silly to have a server for only one user. How can I point one PC/user
to the same server in the farm all the time? We are using the Connection Broker and NLB which seems to work just fine for all other users.
Thanks

Hi Steve,
What operating system version are you running on your servers? Server 2008 R2? Server 2012?
When you configure a RDS farm to be load-balanced by the connection broker, all servers in the unique farm are intended to have the exact same applications installed. The idea is the RDCB can redirect users to different servers as needed to balance
the load, and that you may take any particular server (or servers, if you have enough) offline and your farm will still work.
Now, there are always exceptions and I understand it would be nice if you could assign a user/app to a specific server to handle a case like yours. For example, you would understand this particular user or app would not be load-balanced or highly
available and if the one server was down it would not work, but other users/RemoteApps would be load-balanced as usual. This is
not a feature of the current versions of RDS.
To do what you want the "best way" would require writing a custom plugin for RDCB. In your custom plugin you would specifiy the load-balancing logic. For example, when one of the "special" users logs on, your logic would direct them to the
correct specific server, but when a regular user logs on you would allow the normal RDCB load-balancing logic to apply. Please see here for more information:
Terminal Services Session Broker Plug-in reference
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/cc644962(v=vs.85).aspx
Besides writing a custom plugin I suggest you consider the following workarounds:
1. Instead of running the app under RDSH, run it in a Win7/Win8 VM pool if possible. Either a pool of identical VMs or assign each user that needs to run the app to a dedicated VM. Downside of this is added complexity, licensing for VDI,
and an increase in hardware resources required to run the VMs.
2. Have the user connect to the server using /admin. You can change the permissions so that a specific group may connect using a /admin connection, without them being administrators. Downside of this is that some features
of RDSH are not present when connected as an administrative RDP session, and only two Active admin sessions are permitted.
3. If running Server 2008 R2 you could set the server so that it does not participate in load balancing and have the users that need to run this special app connect directly to the server's ip address instead of to the farm name. Downside of this
is that you will get more uneven load distribution, however, it may not be that bad if you are balancing your initial connections using NLB and you have all of your regular users connecting to the farm name as usual.
4. Have a separate server in each farm (not joined to the farm) just for this one app. If possible they could be VMs with not much resources dedicated to each. I know this is what you did not want to do, but I mention it because an
extra base Windows Server license, one for each farm, is likely less additional cost than licensing the special software on
all servers. If you can run the app in VMs then the additional hardware cost of doing it this way is reduced.

How to get my apple computer to let me log into it remotely

how do I get my apple computer to let me log into it remotely from another computer?

First, you should be asking this question is the Mac OS X forum associated with the version of Mac OS X you are running (Leopard, Snow Leopard, Lion, Mountain Lion, Mavericks, Yosemite). If you tell use the version of Mac OS X you are using, we can ask the moderators to move this post to that forum.
Back-to-My-Mac is what you would use if both Macs are yours using the same Apple iCloud account.
<https://www.apple.com/support/icloud/back-to-my-mac/>
<Set up and use Back to My Mac - Apple Support>
If you are trying to connect to someone else's Mac (a family member, or friend), then you can use iChat (older versions of Mac OS X) or Messages to initiate Screen Sharing.
<Messages (Mavericks): Share your screen>
You could also use TeamViewer.com which is very good at connecting to a remote Mac (or Windows, as it is cross-platform) across the internet and navigating through home routers.
<http://TeamViewer.com>
The next level of complexity would involve opening ports in the destination home router. This is non-trivial, and hopefully one of the above 3 methods will do the job. PortForward.com has documents providing step-by-step guides on how to setup port forwarding for a huge list of routers
<http://portforward.com/>
Again, hopefully, you do not need this level of complexity. But if you do please let us know.

ICal could not log into the caldav server

Hi,
I have a OS X Lion server that i am trying to set up for home. I have made an account for myself and have got mail running for it but when I go to turn on Calendars and Reminders, i get the error message iCal could not log into the caldav server "me.com". One I am not sure how this has anything to do with me but anyway, the mail compnent works. Also when i go to the folder webdav via browser servername/webdav/ i get permission denied. I also get and Unathorized message when I try to specifically access the calendar via adress https://servername:8443/calendars/users/username/ I mention the permission denied stuff because i am assuming they are all connected to the Calendar service (ie it runs on caldav which runs on webdav). can anyone help with this as I would like to get this working.

One possiblity is that the user you created has not been granted access to the calendar service. How did you create the user on the server, via Server.app?
Are you able to browse to https://servername:8443/principals/users/username/ (of course substituting the appropriate server and user names)

Safari for Windows will not log into IIS sites with Windows Authentication

Safari for Windows will not log into IIS sites with Windows Authentication enabled. The IIS log has thousands of login attempts from Safari that result in 401 errors.
I disable Windows Authentication on IIS and it works fine. The problem with that is that my Windows clients stop working properly with seemless logins when I disable this.
The expected behavior is that Safari will work with basic authentication when NTLM does not work. That would result in a password prompt followed by a successful login instead of Safari stopping at "Loading" while hammering the IIS logs.
It does this on all machines that I have tried.
Any ideas or is this a bug?

I noticed that as well. I have to wonder if it's due to not making note of the the different end of line characters between Mac OS X and Windows in code.

Lion Ichat client issues with logging into SL Ichat server

We run the iChat server on our OD master running 10.6.8. We have about 250 users and it's working great for everyone on Leopard or SL (the majority of our users).
We just started upgrading people to Lion, as well as getting some new lion machines. The people who are on Lion Pre-Configured machines seem ok, but the people who we upgrade are having issues with logging into it. Sometimes it will work just fine, and other times they just can't log in. They get the ~ symbol by their status and can't connect to the server.
The only fix seems to be trashing their prefs AND rebooting, just trashing them or just rebooting don't seem to be enough to fix this. Anyone seen or have a better fix for this? It has happened more than once for the same user.

Same problem here [https://discussions.apple.com/message/23114338#23114338].
Were you ever able to troubleshoot or fix this? File a bug report?

How to configure the mac mini to allow the clients to access both partitions...the client will only see the one we are logged into at the server???

if possible??? how do we configure the mac mini to allow the clients to access both partitions...the client will only see the one we are logged into at the server???

You have to explicitly share directories on external/secondary volumes.
Use the Server admin app to configure file sharing, and select which directory/directories on the second drive you want to share, then they'll be available to clients.

How To Redirect to a site after logging into the R3 server?

I want to be able to do something like the following:
www.sapr3servername.doimain.com?redirect=www.xyz.com
So the users will be prompted to log into the SAPr3 server, than after the server has authenticated the user, i want the login page to redirect to a URL of my choosing.
How can I do this? What is the keyword for the parameter in the R3 server ?
Flow
- users will hit www.xyz.com
- If user is not authenticated, xyz.com will direct them to the URL in an iframe: www.sapr3servername.doimain.com?redirect=www.xyz.com
- The user will sign into www.sapr3servername.domain.com with their SAP crednetials
- after the sign on is completed, the R3 server will redirect them back to xyz.com, where they will now be authenticated
