I am new to Apple with a Macbook air.
I do need to log into a window server 2003 R2, via external desktop. All my work is on there.
How do I do this? I am not very digital mindet.
Are there special App's or programs I need to download, I heard something about " Office" for aple?
Any help welcome.

I am still running 10.5.3 due to the numerous Mac/Active Directory issues; but I am able to access my Windows 2003 servers with this client. I am also able to make to my local (Mac) drives as well.

Blue screen when logging into windows server 2008 r2

when logging into windows server 2008 r2, all I have is a blue screen and the mouse.
I tried looking for solutions on the internet, then I found a microsoft hotfix "http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2590550" I run the hotfix in command line but it gave me nothing, no error or success messages.
I tried to reboot but I still have the same problem.
Is there any solution to this problem ??

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Did you face this issue during remote session or console session?
In addition, have you try to change or install any driver\software which cause this problem?
Have you use any debugging tools from Microsoft to find respective error cause?
You can refer following article for memory dump.

Is there an application to monitor users who log into Windows Server 2012 R2?

I'm looking at Family Safety Feature in Windows 8 and like what they can do. I have a request to monitor, track users who log into Windows Server 2012 R2 to see how many users login, how long each login is for each user so a monthly report can be generated.
1. I just wonder if Windows Essential 2012 can be used for this purpose or not. If it can, is Windows Essential 2012 a feature can be added or installed on Windows Server 2012 R2?
2. If Window Essential 2012 cannot be used for this purpose, is there any feature in Windows Server 2012 R2 that can be used for this purpose?
3. Is there any other suggestions?
Thank you for your help.
Thanks and Regards,
Hien Phan

Hi Hien,
Anything updates?
It seems that there is no feature can do that. I agree with Tim that you can check the event logs. In general, the event 4624 would be created when a user was logged on, and the event 4634 would be created when a user account was logged
off.

Logging into Windows Server 2012 from Remote Desktop requires "Connect with Smart Card"; how do I disable this?

I am using pretty much the default setup. I cannot figure out how to disable this. I do not want to use smart cards.
Any ideas?

Does this mean you're trying to RDP from an XP box, therfore have the Remote Desktop feature on the server set to "less secure"? Sounds like thats what disables network authentication, prompting the Smart Card request.
If you simply click to login as a different user, you can login without a smart card, to include the same user as was being prompted for the card.
I expect if you choose the Remote Desktop feature requires network authentication on the server, the smart card requirement goes away, but you'll need to login from Win7 or newer clients. Not sure where Vista falls, probably okay too.

How do I get MacBook Air to see Windows Home Server and show it in Finder?

New to Mac (having used Windows for years) so this may be a dumb question. Have a MacBook Air (new) and have a home network with a Windows Home Server on the network. I can't figure out how to get the MacBook Air to see the Windows Home Server. It doesn't show up in Finder and I think my lack of understanding of Mac OS it inhibiting me from figuring out how to get the MacBook Air to see the server and show it so I can navigate to the files on it, etc. Any suggestions on how to do this or where I can go to read about it to figure it out?
Thanks!!!

If the Windows Home Server functions like a file server, try the following: From the Finder, Click the Go menu at the top of the screen, and choose Connect To Server. You will be presented with a dialog box to enter the server IP address.
You may also want to open the Preferences for the Finder from the File menu, and make sure connected servers are supposed to show up on the desktop and in Finder windows.
Disclaimer: I have not used a PC for 15 yrs, so this is general information. This is the process I use to connect to other Mac servers and to several online WebDav servers.

I have a macbook pro can can log into a server, but my new iMac with lion can't even see the server--both are over wifi- how do i get the new iMac to see the server?

Without knowing what you have tried please open System Preferences - Sharing - File Sharing and select File Sharing. If you still have trouble you can call AppleCare in the morning when they re-open. You have 90 days of telephone support if you haven't already bought AppleCare.

Having problem with svchost.exe/ntdll.dll errors causing GPSVC (Group Policy Client) to crash preventing users from logging into the server.

Recently (within the past 2 weeks) I have noticed a few of our servers will have problems with the svchost.exe application causing the GPSVC (Group Policy Client) to crash. The only fix at that point is to reboot the server since the GPSVC service is tied
to svchost.exe and therefore is protected from being manually restarted.
I noticed the following errors when this occurs:

I've searched and cannot seem to find any information as to what may be causing this, or even really where to start. Would someone be able to help me identify what might be causing this event, specific with the Exception code: 0xc0000024, which causes
the Group Policy Client service to stop?

You still out there looking at things? If so I have an update. The issue hasn't stopped, even though it did seemingly die down for awhile, however, it is now back with a vengeance.
I am able to force it to happen by killing the svchost process that is hosting GPSVC. If I run gpupdate /force, then logout/login it does get GPSVC running again. Furthermore, if I simply start svchost again via the Task Manager GPSVC starts running again.
When I access the server remotely with KVM it acts just like it does as if I'm logging into it via Citrix/RDP which for Admin IDs gives an error saying "Failed to connect to a windows service. Windows could not connect to the Group Policy Client service...",
however, normal user accounts just get a message when logging into the server "The Group Policy Client Service Failed the Logon. Access is denied."
I haven't opened a case with Microsoft yet, but we about ready to because of the increase in these errors.
If you have any further suggestions that would be great, otherwise I'll provide an update once I get word back from Microsoft.
**EDIT -- apparently I mistook the the server's SCM's actions as my own. I was able to successfully crash the GPSVC service by killing the hosting svchost process, however, after I crashed it and let it sit crashed for awhile when I attempted
to restart either by starting a svchost task, or running gpupdate /force it failed. Either that, or there is a timing issue where if we don't restart the svchost process, or run gpupdate /force quickly enough it won't be able to recover without a reboot.

Multiple users logged into one server, each users printer has a different name, application needs ONE name to print to.

Multiple users logged into one server, each users printer has a different name, application needs ONE name to print to.
I'm NOT in any way a Terminal Services expert and I need help trying to get an application program working in a multi-user environment.
The issue is that the printer changes for every user that is logged in. The application needs to print NOT to the default printer, but to a "special" printer which is selected in the application... let's call it a label printer to simplify the explanation.
You have your default regular printer, easy for the application to find that one, and then you have a special printer that labels get printed onto. The application needs to know what printer is the label printer. So we allow the user to select that in the
application and the selection is stored in a config file in
C:\ProgramData\mfgr\prog\setting files
I don't have access to the application so I can't change how this works.
In the "regular" world, selecting the label printer driver to use should be per machine, NOT per user. When a new user logs into a machine, the physical printer doesn't go "poof" and a new printer suddenly appear. Same printer for all
users.
Yet in terminal services, the physical machine is "merged" with the virtual machine on the server. And there can be many users logged in at the same time. So each users real machine (and real printer) is injected into the "fake" terminal
services machine. The name of the printers is made unique for each user. So the printers DO go "poof" and change names depending on the user logged into terminal services.
So user "A" logs in and sets up the application to print to "LabelPrinterForUserA" (or whatever the name of the printer happens to be), that setting is stored in the ProgramData subfolder, and all is well. Later, user "B" logs
in, and when they print, the application tries to print to "LabelPrinterForUserA" which doesn't exist for user B or is only accessible by user A. If user B re-configures, that breaks it for user A.
SOLUTION 1: The way that /should/ work (in my mind) is that you define one "generic" printer in Terminal Services... call it "Virtual Label printer" and when the user wants to print to it, the print job gets re-directed back to whatever
physical printer is actually connected to their local workstation. There is a map of virtual printer to actual printer depending on the current user. The application is told once to print to "Virtual Label Printer" for all users.
SOLUTION 2: Or... there should be some way to make the ProgramData sub folders separate per user. E.g. when user "A" tries to access:
C:\ProgramData\mfgr\prog\setting files
they actually get
C:\UserData\UserA\AppData\mfgr\prog\setting files
and user "B" gets
C:\UserData\UserB\AppData\mfgr\prog\setting files
So the question I have is: Does either of those solutions exist hidden somewhere in the setup of terminal server? Or is there another way around this issue that I don't know?

I don't really have a "for sure" answer to this, but because people here can't seem to deal with a question that hasn't been answered I'll provide the best answer I did receive from ServerFault.com user Nathan:
I can feel your pain with using old software on terminal servers ...the solution I've come up with definitely won't scale as it requires some manual configuration, but I've gotten this method to work with our label printers (which require to be
printed to an LPT port...yep, that old).
Share your USB-connected printers to the network on each machine. Then, have the user log in on aunique session for each of them
(a TS account cannot be shared among computers for this to work) and install a network printer pointing to the USB one they shared. Try to use a DNS name to account for possible DHCP movements.
After, it should work. Each user can do this since display names can be identical as long as the ports are different (which they are).
This was clarified by the following series of comments:
I think you are on to something here, and I originally advised the admin to do this. The problem he ran into is that it setup the printer names in the TS as "printer on usersworkstation"
and he could not rename it except to change the "printer" to whatever. E.g. the "on userworkstation" remained. I believe there is another way of installing the printer which avoids this, but I can't find it. Ages ago, one used to do NET
USE LPT2 \\computer\printer password /USER:domain\user /PERSISTENT:YES and then tell the driver to print to LPT2 –  James

@JamesNewton That's actually the exact method we used. The way around the "network printer" part is to install it as local printer and map it to a TCP/IP port that way. –  Nathan
C Mar
17 at 16:28
You mean in the case where the printers are TCP/IP connected and not local USB / LPT to the users workstation? That makes sense. Wonder if this will work for USB connected printers... –  James
NewtonMar

@JamesNewton You'd share the local printer on the client's PC then on the server connect via TCP/IP to it. You'd need static addresses or use DNS names if DHCP, though. –  Nathan
C Mar
17 at 16:51
Ah. Yes. I see. Looks like the LPT thing should work even with a USB connected printer:superuser.com/questions/182655/… –  James

Logging into 'Other' (Server) login doesn't show though bind does

Working on an OS 10.5.6 Advanced server that was set and users were only using AFP, but no DNS and Open Directory. So carefully went through and set these up.The standard testing 'checkhost' and all, shows DNS is working correctly. Client computers had the DNS pointer changed and went through Dirctory Utility and did the binding. Server indicates these computers are bound. One of four client computers works as expected, "Other" shows as a login choice and can log into the server. All the different client accounts work throught this station. Three computers show as Bind being setup, but the "Other" login simply doesn't appear. All but one are running 10.5.6, with one computer running 10.4.11. All three computers that show as bound, can sign in via Go > to the AFP share(s) just fine, only the server/network login doesn't appear. Have checked everything we can think of and need further suggestions on how to resolve this issue? - Lewis

LDAP is indeed listed and home folders have been created in an Auto-Mount directory. Everything appears just like the computers on this network that are binding OK and show an "Other" login. Now I have noticed one thing... every so often when I open Directory Utility - it shows the staus as "nonresponding" with a red dot. If I hit "Connect" it changes to a green OK dot, but upon logout/login the "Other" is still not a choice. Ran Disk Repair, Repair Permissions, re-ran the combo updater of the current system - 10.5.6. Ran the unbind on the computer and removed computer from Workgroup manager... still no joy. Just do not see a way to get a reliable Bind and network login? Bind seems to be happening... but "Other" as a network login just doesn't show.

Currently Windows Server and Linux Server VM support on Windows Azure. So a Mac software will not run on Windows Azure. But according to

Qosmio G30 display flickering and unable to log into Windows

I have to press F5 to make the display visible everytime I boot up. I thought that it was a software related issue and I tried to format the HDD with original recovery CD. However, the screen keeps flickering from the BIOS stage.
Now, it is even worse. The screen is flickering when power up and I cannot log into Windows MCE after the HDD formated.
After reading the related articles and FAQ, I suspect it was a graphic card (hardware) issue.
My graphic card is NVidia Go7600. Is this true and is it a must to change the hardware (graphic card)?
Appreciate your advice before I contact the local support team.
Thanks a lot!

Hi!
Thats a strange issue. Do you have the same problems on an external monitor?
If a display is flickering, the display itself is defective because the FL-tube is causing the error. I think the best is, when an ASP (authorized service provider) checks your Qosmio G30.
Here you can search for one:

Good luck

In Place Upgrade WSUS windows 2008 R2 into windows server 2012

Hi Team,
i had question. I have windows server 2008 R2 and installed WSUS role at that server.
Can I do inplace upgrade into windows server 2012 std edition?
is there any impact into wsus services?
thanks

If it is not a DC, upgrade should be easy. And there shouldn’t be any problems.
The question was about upgrading a WSUS server, and regardless of whether it's a DC or not, it most emphatically will not be problem free. In fact, it's flat out not possible! On WS2012 the upgrade will be blocked if WSUS v3 is present,
and on WS2012R2 it will corrupt the WSUS installation beyond repair requiring a reinstallation of the operating system.
Please review the
WSUS v6 documentation regarding upgrade requirements.
Warning
Upgrade from any version of Windows Server that supports WSUS 3.2 to Windows Server® 2012 R2 requires that you first uninstall WSUS 3.2.
In Windows Server 2012, upgrading from any version of Windows Server with WSUS 3.2 installed is blocked during the installation process if WSUS 3.2 is detected, and you are prompted to first uninstall Windows Server Update Services prior to upgrading Windows
Server 2012.
However, because of changes in Windows Server 2012 R2, when upgrading from any version of Windows Server and WSUS 3.2 to Windows Server 2012 R2, the installation is not blocked. Failure to uninstall WSUS 3.2 prior to performing a Windows Server 2012 R2 upgrade
will cause the post installation tasks for WSUS in Windows Server 2012 R2 to fail. In this case, the only known corrective measure is to format the hard drive and reinstall Windows Server 2012 R2.

Logging into Leopard Server

I am new to the OS X Server world. I created user accounts on a Leopard Server (Mac Pro) through open directory. I attempted to log into the server from a workstation through "other". For some reason the account cannot be accessed. I can see the accounts that I created on the server by using the Directory utility. Where am I going wrong? This is a test network to familiarize myself with the envrironment

Once you have those Accounts set up in an LDAP directory on the Server, you need to tell your Workstation to look there. You do this on each WorkStation with "Directory Access" utility.
It opens with three panes: Services | Authentication | Contacts
In the services pane, you select the protocols which should be included for locating Services. Select LDAPv3 and click ( Configure ). If you are not supplying the LDAPv3 Server address using DHCP, you need to uncheck that box and provide an entry with its Fully Qualified Domain Name or IP Address and select the "From Server" option. \[If you have not yet set up a small Domain Name Server DNS, you are making a mistake -- you cannot get around having a local DNS.]
On the Authentication pane, you need to Add the LDAPv3 reference you just created to the Authentication list. Save changes and exit.
After you log out, the Workstation should show some or all of the Server Accounts as accounts you can use to log in.
