Manage Remote Desktop Settings

We have this set to "NO" in our client settings. However, I can right click on any client in the console and start the remote desktop client and connect successfully using RDP. So what exactly does the "Manage Remote Desktop Settings"
do?

>Where I am still confused is what the settings apply to.
> And what if RDP is already enabled by
me manually on a Windows machine? Than setting it to "yes" or "no" has no effect?
If "Manage Remote Desktop" settings is set to "No", then the client leaves the settings alone. Devices should continue on with whatever they have set locally.
If "Manage Remote Desktop" settings is set to "Yes", then the client will change the settings on devices to enable RDP and, optionally, add permitted viewers to the local "Remote Desktop Users" group or require network level authentication. according
to what you specify.

Remote Desktop Settings missing from Remote Tab of System Settings

My Screen:
What it should be:
Good day, all. Please I need urgent help here. I have a problem using Remote Desktop.
My system is a 64-bit Windows 7 Ultimate with SP1 preinstalled.
Let me give us a synopsis of the problem.
Since the system was purchased, I have never had to remote into it. But I have used it to remote desktop to other PCs (that is, I have never used
it has a host, only as a client). However, last week I decided to set it up so that I can remotely connect to it. I went to the Remote Tab in System settings, and I discovered the bottom half was missing - only Remote Invitation settings were displayed.
I searched the web to try to solve the problem myself. I could only come up with 2 causes, generally:
If the system is Home Premium or below, which is certainly not the case here. It is the Ultimate version I have.
Some people complained that they had the exactly the same problem after installing SP1, and that when they uninstalled it, the Remote Desktop settings in Remote Tab of System settings came back.
However, I can't uninstall SP1 since it came preinstalled, and then that is not an option for me, given it contains several security fixes and updates.
Also some people said
the problem was solved be re-entering a correct product key for Windows, and re-activating Windows (+reboot).
I have tried this but did not get the required help.
My system is fully updated with all Microsoft patches till date, which means I have RDP 8.0 and RDP 8.1 client installed.
I have also tried
re-registering the dll: (regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\remotepg.dll),
to no avail.
I have checked the registry settings, Windows Firewall and made sure the remote desktop services are running in services.msc.
All these I have tried.
As I said, I have no problem connecting as a client to other systems. The issue is connecting to this system, by setting RDP here, but the settings
are missing.
Please, what is the solution? I don't want a clean install, or anything that would require to start re-updating the system.
I prefer a direct tackle of this error
(Definitely, a windows component is corrupted).
Thank you very much, and God bless.
P.S: I have read ALL the other threads that are similar to this, but NONE of them has SOLVED my problem.
So, please, please, do not delete my thread or mark it as answered until this problem has been solved, please.
I need a WORKING SOLUTION to this please.
Once again, thanks and God bless.

Hi,
Let’s uninstall the RDP 8.0 first, then check the result:
wusa.exe /uninstall /kb: 2592687
It would roll back to RDP 7.0.
Also, run SFC command:
Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files

How to programmatically manage Remote Desktop Users?

Hi,
I want to know if it esists a method to programmatically set/get the Remote Desktop Users list, such as add/remove an user and so on.
Thank you all in advance
Best Regards
Antonino

Hi,
first of all, I want to thank you for reply. But, what I'm looking for is to programmatically view the list of the users for the Remote Desktop Control. With Remote Desktop Control I mean the way I let some other users over the network to operate with my own desktop in Windows XP (that is what you find in system->properties->remote desktop->advanced...and so on).

In: Security Packages make sure tspkgis present, if not add that value
Part 2: Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders
In SecurityProviders (on the rightside)make sure credssp.dll is presentClose RegistryEditor and restart your computer

Whenever I try to change these settings, I get the following error (I need to disable NLA until I can fix some other problems).
I've made sure that my user account has full access to the HKLM key in the registry.
This is a Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit workstation that is not a member of a domain.
Any help would be appreciated. If I can't fix it, I'm going to have to format.

Remote Desktop Connection with WRT54G from Novice

Well, I’m usually pretty good at using Google and forums to eventually figure out how to fix my problem but this one absolutely has me stumped and I’m hoping someone out there has an answer for me. For the record, I have probably a beginner/intermediate knowledge of computers so if you know the answer to my problem, try to explain it simply! ****TO ANYONE WHO TAKES THE TIME TO READ THIS THING AND CAN OFFER SOME ADVICE-THANK YOU!!!!***
THE PROBLEM
I would like to be able to use Remote Desktop to log into either of my home computers from basically any computer on the internet.
THE SETUP
I have two computers, whose names are LAPTOP and DESKTOP that are both running Windows Vista Ultimate. Both of the computers are connected to a Linksys WRt54G Router ; one wired, the other wirelessly. The Linksys router is then connected to a Westell DSL Modem that connects to AT&T’s internet service.
SETTINGS
My DSL service only provides me with a dynamic IP address so I signed up with no-ip.com. Through that site, I bought a domain name and downloaded their small program that runs in the background of my desktop computer. The program checks what my IP address is every couple of seconds and if it changes, it notifies their server so that anyone who types in my domain name is directed to the new IP address.
ROUTER (Firmware 4.20.6)
Basic Setup Page: The Router Name is just the model number, the Server Name is my DSL provider and the Domain Name is the name I chose and registered with No-IP.com. (www.mydomainname.com, for example.) DHCP Server is ENABLED. DDNS Service is DISABLED. Under Advanced Routing, it is set in GATEWAY mode.
Security Page: Firewall Protection is ENABLED. Block Anonymous Internet Requests is NOT checked. Filter Multicast, Filter Internet NAT Redirection and Filter IDENT ARE checked.
Applications and Gaming Page: I chose two port numbers, one for each computer that I want to connect to. On the first line, I have Application: RDP, Port Range: 49200 to 49200, Protocol: Both, IP Address (The IP address of the computer I want to connect to) and the Enable box IS checked. [I did the same thing with the second line for the other computer, but with a different port number and that computer’s IP address)
Administration Page: Access Server is HTTP, Wireless Access Web is ENABLED, Remote Management is ENABLED through Port 8080, and UPnP is ENABLED.
WINDOWS VISTA SETTINGS
First, I went to the Remote Desktop Settings of the target computer and ENABLED Remote Desktop Connection and allowed computers running any version of Windows. I also confirmed that the box labeled “Allow This Computer To Be Controlled Remotely” WAS checked. I then made sure that I had a user name, it had a password associated and that it had Administrator priveledges. I went back to the Remote Connections screen and added the user name as being allowed to connect. (I think this is redundant since it’s both the owner of the computer and has Administrator Status.)
Next, per Randomly Googled Internet Advice, I went into the registry and changed the port number that Remote Desktop listens for incoming connections to Port 49200 to match the router settings. [Registry Entry that I modified was: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp]
Finally, I went to the Windows Firewall and Added (opened) port 49200 for use as a Remote Connection. I kept the protocol as TCP and confirmed the scope was set for Any Computer.
CURRENT STATUS
If I go to Explorer and enter my IP address with a colon and the specify port 8080, I can get the login screen for the router. Same thing happens if I just enter my domain name and port 8080. However, if I switch the 8080 port and use one of the ports I chose (49200), it cannot connect, either using the Public IP address or the domain name. (I’m trying to connect using a wireless card and not connected to my local network so I know it’s the same as if I was anywhere else.)
I’m not sure why it won’t let me connect; it feels like the router will not allow the connection to pass through it to the port I’m asking it to forward to. I’m guessing someone out there who took the time to read it is shaking their head at all the information I provided and knows the one dumb thing I missed!
Thanks again!

I'm attempting to do the same thing with my home network. the only differences are that i have cable internet from comcast and i'm running vista business. my router is the wrt54gs. i'm assuming that the web page is similar for adjustmants. To be honest i cannot figure out how to do a remote destop too. so i went to www.logmein.com and installed the program. once installed to to every computer you want to have access too and log into the website. then click on the add computer icom. full control app sharing etc... even better when you connect you have the option to deactivate the local host mouse and screen to prevent anyone seeing what your doing.
If you resolve the router issue would you let me know. plz thanks

Remote Desktop 2012 R2 - Can't get RD Gateway with RD Web Access working through just 443

I have one server (2012 r2 fully updated) running all remote desktop roles (RD Web Access, RD Gateway, RD Licensing, RD Connection Broker, RD Session Host) and a separate domain controller.
I have RD Web Access published to cloud.mydomain.co.uk and accessing cloud.mydomain.co.uk/RDWeb works fine.
I want to setup the environment so only port 443 is open from the outside (thus the RD Gateway is installed) and the user can login through RDWeb and click on an app to launch it.
If I leave port 3389 open along with 443 and log on to RDWeb and click the remote app, this works fine.
If I close 3389 on the external firewall and only leave open 443, I can connect AND login to RDWeb but I cannot open the connection
This is expected:
http://i.imgur.com/9j2HRqm.png
Error:
http://i.imgur.com/2LH2c7T.png
Digging in the event viewer yielded: http://i.imgur.com/M9uHm0o.png
Which led me to test change the following setting in the resource access policy, as a test:
http://i.imgur.com/FlGObFr.png
This still didn't work but yielded a different error in event viewer:
http://i.imgur.com/LkaCfU4.png
Now I suspect I have misconfigured something somewhere in terms of the last event where it suggests it can't connect to resource "cloud.mydomain.co.uk" I would have expected this to be the internal FQDN of my session host. Or, I am hitting some sort
of odd problem because I have all the roles on the same box.
Any assistance greatly appreciated. I'm keen to find the root cause behind this as I need to document this solution so don't want to invalidate by messing around too much with settings.

Hi Gavin,
If you use RD Gateway then you only need to open TCP port 443 and UDP port 3391 and forward them to your RD Gateway server. You may have RD Web Access (uses TCP port 443) and RDG running on the same server.
When an external client launches a RemoteApp they will connect to your RD Gateway via TCP port 443 and UDP port 3391, then the RDG will connect to your internal RDSH servers using TCP port 3389 and UDP port 3389 on behalf of the external client. In
this way the RDG will act as a middleman between your external users and your internal RDSH servers.
In Server Manager - Remote Desktop Services - Overview - Tasks - Deployment Properties you need to specify the external FQDN of your RD Gateway server. If you have RDWeb and RDG on the same server this would be the same FQDN that your users will use
for RDWeb. For example, if your users use https://rds1.yourdomain.com/rdweb to connect to your RD Web Access site, then you would enter rds1.yourdomain.com for the RD Gateway name in deployment properties.
(Above one Quoted from this thread answered by TP).
In addition please see that you have properly configured RD Rap & RD Rap policy under RD Gateway manager and also properly configured certificates to match server name.
Hope it helps!
Thanks.

Troubles connecting remote desktop win 8

I had stable connection until recently. Recent Changes made include new office management software updates for online bookings with some modem modifications and setting static IP address with 4 blocks. Will these changes intefere with the previous
remote desktop settings? Thanks
Nick

Hi Nick,
Can you ping the remote computer successfully?
Are you remote connecting using IP address or Hostname? Please try with your static IP address and check result. Also please check firewall setting\rule whether anything is blocked under that which can’t allow remote desktop. You can check the below article
for information.

Apple Remote Desktop 3.1 and Tiger weirdness

I do have Apple Remote Desktop 3.1 Admin installed at a 10.4.10 MB machine.
There are some remote machines, which I have successful admin access.
There is one specific iBook, which causes a headache.
It is a G4/1.2GHz machine, kept updated to current system - now 10.4.10.
I was not able to put ARD 3 remotely on it, so I did it manually and it worked.
BUT I had no access at all to the machine, no wonder what I was doing. After installing ARDclient 3.1 I could send messages back and forth, update the client etc but was unable to observe or steer the machine. After many hacking I figured out that when I open up TCP/UDP Ports 3283 and 5900 manually under firewall in the sharing settings I do have full access. The Apple Remote Desktop settings under services do show their check/uncheck, but they simply do not work i.e. they do not open up the corresponding ports.
What is going on there plus what do I do to change it?
(One of the actions upon hacking was to install Tiger new on the machine, but that did not solve the issue - is there some hidden .plist I have to delete?)

Probably get a reasoned response posting to the ARD forum: http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1007

Help need setting up remote desktop (on a router)

hey networking pros,
I have major trouble setting up remote login (remote desktop).
Specification : OSX tiger, LINKSYS
now i have managed to use tightVNC and manage remote desktop BUT that was when i was on the same network. Now my laptop lies at home and at school (work) i have windows running and want to access my mac at home. I cant manage to do that. Since i am on a different network and that i have router at home and also i do not use air port express (i use a linksys)
I need a static ip which in need to know the DNS servers (adelphia dosent give that to me since i am not a business customer). I have enabled port forwarding (5900) i have even set up an an account with dysDNS.org (i dunno how that helped).
can some one please give me with step by step instruction.
thanks

You already have most of what you need, but you do need a little more understanding of what you're doing.
Keep in mind that the Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection client is one-way only. You can connect from a Mac to a Window XP Professional computer, but not from Windows XP Pro to Mac OS X. What I describe below is how to connect from a Mac on the Internet to a Windows XP Pro computer at home.
First, Remote Desktop may look like VNC, but it's not the same thing. Therefore, port 5900, which works with VNC, won't work for Remote Desktop. You'll want to port forward 3389 to make this work. When you go to your router and make this port forward entry, you'll enter the IP address of the machine you want to direct all RDC traffic to. This gets the RDC traffic from your router to your computer.
You went to DynDNS.org to help you find your router on the Internet. The IP address, as you've researched, can change. But if you set up your router to report its IP address to DynDNS then you can always connect to your router by name. You don't have to keep track of your IP address changing. DynDNS will do this for you. This gets the RDC traffic from you to your router.
So, the steps are:
1. Set up a DynDNS.org account and you'll give yourself a name such as "myrouter" so that you can use a name like "myrouter.homeip.net" to connect to your home network.
2. On your router, port forward all incoming Internet 3389 traffic to the IP address and port 3389 of your computer.
3. On your Windows XP Pro computer (you can't do this with Windows XP Home) enable the Remote Desktop Connection software (right-click My Computer --> Properties --> Remote tab --> select the second checkbox).
4. From a Mac somewhere on the Internet, open the RDC client and enter the DynDNS name you gave yourself and click the Connect button.
5. Your Mac will contact DynDNS and get your current IP address.
6. Your Mac will then connect to your home router, which will forward all RDC traffic (coming in on port 3389) to your Windows computer in your home.
Hope this helps! bill

Remote desktop not working "remotely"

I have a Windows 7 Ultimate computer I'm trying to access through Remote Desktop.
I'm able to access that computer from another computer when both are in the same LAN, but I fail to access it through the internet.
I already tried disabling windows firewall in the target computer to narrow it down, and it still fails. So the problem mustn't be in the firewall. Only I don't know where else to look.
Since I can access within the same LAN, I assume the Remote Desktop settings are fine.
This is what I did to attempt to access the pc over the internet:
- In my router's admin console, I set up port forwarding and port mapping to work with my target computer's local IP address and port 3389 (remote desktop's port):
- Then I used an IP lookup service to find my external IP address.
- I tried that IP:port combination on remote desktop, with the user name from the target pc I want to use (I also tried without entering the user name, but it also fails):
I always get an error message saying that remote desktop is not enabled, or the remote computer is turned off or not available on the network. The first two are false, since I can access the computer on a LAN and it is definitely not turned off.
The firewall on my router is disabled, so I really don't know where I'm going wrong.
Can anyone help, please?
Thanks!!

Remote Desktop Mobile Application

I have a Palm Treo Pro that I'm trying to use the REMOTE DESKTOP MOBILE application to access my laptop computer that is running the Microsoft XP Professional operating system. I have configured the settings on my Palm Treo Pro and the Remote Desktop settings on my laptop according to instructions. I still CANNOT establish a connection and get the following message on my Treo when trying to connect.
THE REMOTE COMPUTER HAS ENDED THE CONNECTION.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! Thanks
Post relates to: Treo Pro T850 (Sprint)

I can't answer your question directly, but I've had similar interests.
I found that the last connection made is stored in \Windows\Default.rdp.
The executable seems to ignore any parameters given, so you can't tell it to use another file, but you can, of course, replace the contents of the default.rdp file.
I'm planning to wrap wptsc with a Mortscripts that can preserve all the last connections. When the script is launched, it should display a menu of the most recent connections, replace default.rdp with the selected connection, launch wptsc, and update the MRU list upon exit.
Mortscript should also be able to automate the first screen - it can fake keypresses and clicks, detect windows, etc.

Missing Remote Desktop Dialog Box in System Properties Running Under Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 But I Can Still See Remote Assistance Dialog Box

Hello to everyone i am using Win 7 Ultimate SP 1 and when i go to system properties -> remote settings all i get is the remote assistance dialog box and i can't find the remote desktop dialog box. I can see the remote assistance dialog box but i

Plz help.....
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
First, please try the SFC command to check if you any corrupted system files:
How to use the System File Checker tool to troubleshoot missing or corrupted system files on Windows Vista or on

If this issue persists, it is recommended to perform system restore to get back to a previous time point to check what the result is:

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.

Remote Desktop Connection Manager can only open 6 sessions at a time on Server 2012

I am only able to open, and view thumbnails, for a maximum of 6 RDP sessions on my Server 2012 box at a time in Remote Desktop Connection Manager (RDCM). If I add more sessions I just get a variety of connection errors for the additional sessions. If I activate
a 7th session one of the existing 6 sessions goes off-line with a connection error message. Sometimes the error says 3334, sometimes the error says 0x8345000E, and sometimes it just says there is a connection error.
I have checked Group Policy on the server to ensure I don't have any settings restricting the number of RDP sessions.
In fact, I will often have 30 or 40 RDP simultaneous sessions opened, I am just not able to view them all in RDCM. I have seen reviews of RDCM with screenshots showing dozens of thumbnails so it seems to be something that's possible to do.
Are there any settings I should make on the server to allow RDCM to connect to more than 6 simultaneous RDP sessions?
Just to be clear, all these RDP sessions are running on the same server. Also, I am just using the trial license for Server 2012 and Remote Desktop Services right now. I don't think that should have an impact, but I wanted to be thorough.

Thanks Jakub for "corflags" info.
Unfortunatelly it doesn't work because running mRemoteNG.exe process in 64bit can't load MSTSC ActiveX component (referenced assemblies) because original files were assembled from 32bit dll [mstscax.dll]?
Error message when making RDP connection:
Could not load file or assembly 'Interop.MSTSCLib, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format.
I was able to create new AxInterop.MSTSCLib.dll and Interop.MSTSCLib.dll assemblies from 64bit dll version and now it works with "AnyCPU":-)
http://www.filedropper.com/axinteropmstsclib-mremoteng
Using AxImp.exe and TlbImp.exe didn't worked for me because it creates assemblies in wrong namespace "MSTSCLib" instead of "Interop.MSTSCLib" (AxImp.exe) and TlbImp.exe for changing namespace generated many "marshaled errors"
so final .dll wasn't working.
Adding MSTSCAX.dll reference in Visual Studio directly created correct and functional assemblies. Who don't know how to create 64bit compatible assemblies or don't have Visual Studio, feel free to check linked file.
Hope it helps
P.S. Sorry for possible technical misinterpretation, I am not programmer so creating new assemblies was trial-error process...
