Maximum number of monitors used for remote desktop not working correctly

My goal is to connect from my home to my work machine but limit the number of monitors used to 2.
At work, I have a machine running Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 with dual monitors. My home machine is Windows 8.1 Pro and it has 3 monitors (on two video cards).
I followed the instructions of the MSDN blog post about using multiple monitors for remote desktop but cannot get it to work right.
Here's what I see when I modify the group policy setting "Limit maximum number of monitors" on the target (work) machine:
Setting - Result:
1 - 1
2 - 1 (???)
3 - 3
It looks like I can't limit the number of monitors used to 2, I get either one or all. Am I missing something or is this by design?
Max

Hi Max,
Support for multiple monitors is available when connecting from any Windows 7/8.1 computer, however, there are restrictions when connecting to a computer using multi-monitor mode. When connecting to Windows 7 computers, only computers that are running Windows
7 Enterprise or Ultimate can be connected to in multi-monitor mode. When connecting to Windows 8.1, only computers that are running Windows 8.1 Professional or Enterprise can be connected to in multi-monitor mode.

Remote does not work correctly after update

Hello,
the subject explain it already:
After upgrading to 2.3 the apple remote does not work correctly anymore:
I need to push the buttons twice, and than atv is only reacting sometimes.
Any ideas?
BR
Frank

Same problem here. First, I thought it was the Apple remote's battery. I replaced that and the problem persisted. I then used my digital video camera to verify that the remote was actually transmitting infrared, it was. In frustration, I tapped the buttons rapidly while pointing at the Apple TV. The Apple TV responded. The next button press it failed to respond. I tapped rapidly again and it finally responded. After many many rapid presses, while pointing directly at the Apple TV, it finally began responding to all presses. Once I'd regained control (I thought) I unpaired and re-paired the remote. Everything continued to work. At that time I also saw that I could "learn" another remote. So, I set up my Samsung TV remote. Sweet. Until the Apple TV went into screensaver mode again and I had to go through the same rapid button press sequence... with either the Apple remote or my learned Samsung remote. Conclusion, since the Apple TV will become fully responsive after the rapid button press sequence, it is certainly a software related problem.

Apple remote desktop not working

Just upgraded to Mavericks and can not use apple remote desktop. I bought my copy of ARD from the store. Anyway of getting this fixed?

Hi ikarous79,
If you are having issues with Apple Remote Desktop under Mavericks, you may want to make sure you have updated to ARD 3.7, which was just released recently. You may find the following article helpful:

Hi gourav,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Please provide little more information for further troubleshooting.
Are you trying to take RDP for server session?
What’s your server and OS client version?
Did user have the access of taking Remote Desktop Session? It means we need to add the user under Remote Desktop User” local group.
In meantime you can refer below article for information.
Why can’t I connect using Remote Desktop Connection?

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??

Printing locally from remote desktop not working

i have a client who recently upgraded his computers from xp to win7. he has a multi store quickbooks pos setup where he has to log in to a remote desktop connection onto a server in another store. he used to just login and run his reports and
then print them locally. since the upgrade, he has not been able to do this. the work around i found was to keep the xp laptop just for printing reports. well, now he is separating from the other store and going out on his own. he needs
to run some reports and save them to the local machine in order to bring the databases to his store. first, i need to know how to make the win 7 computer print the reports locally, so that he can run them (the xp laptop crashed). second, i need
to know how to copy the files onto his local computer (in server 2008 i can drag and drop them, not in 2003).
the win 7 is 64 bit, the server 2003 is 32. i tried installing the print drivers locally onto the server, but it's the wrong architecture. i also tried installing the 32 bit drivers onto the win 7 machine, same thing. i found several things
to try, but really need to get this fixed asap. when i try to install the printer, it shows up, and adds just fine. i am really having a fit here.
the copying thing is an absolute must also. i may be able to get by without the print issue fixed, but would like to know what happened just for my own information. thanx in advance.

Hi,
Firstly you can check whether print spooler service is not stopped. Also ensure that printer driver is compatible\supported by Windows 7 and by server. If you are using printer redirection then might happen that it’s not configure properly. The client must
have enough permission and also check client requirement for printer redirection (RDP 6.1 or above, .Net 3.5or above).
More information:
Terminal Server and Printer Redirection
Five reasons printer redirection causes Windows printing problems in RDS
For this can you describe little more”second, i need to know how to copy the files onto his local computer (in server 2008 i can drag and drop them, not in 2003).” Do you want to copy from remote session to local computer?
Hope it helps!
Thanks,
Dharmesh

Maximum Number of Objects in Local History does not work

In our Production system, I have configured the Maximum Number of Objects in Local History to be '10'. I do not see any queries in the dropdown. I have executed and changed queries since I made this change. None of the users can see a history log.
In our Dev system, the Maximum Number of Objects in Local History is working as expected.
Is there a system-wide setting that overrides my personal setting?
Thanks.

you could have a consolidated DSO with the keys alone and see if you can have an alternate design using an infoset instead....

Why is Apple remote desktop not working?

I have 4 machines in a remote office that I need to connect to using ARD 3.6. I have a VPN connection working and am able to successfully control all but one of the machines. I have checked all of the settings and have confirmed that the Mac that ARD is not working has all of the same sharing preferences as the machines that are working. All of these machines are on the same network. All of the machines are running OS 10.8.x. All machines that I am able to connect to are running 10.8.3 but the one I can't is only at 10.8.2, but that is only because I haven't been able to remote into it yet to perform the OS update. The weird thing is that I can see the unresponsive Mac (can see the IP address, the version of ARD, OS version, etc.) but I simply can't connect to it to control or observe using ARD. I am however able to use TeamViewer from a remote Windows PC.
Can someone provide some ideas as to what to check and or how to fix this? TIA.

Do you have remote login enabled?
Have you tried using the kickstart command to restart the ARD Client?
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2370?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
If it's not enabled you will need to call a user or someone at the location and have them check the box to enable remote login.
In the past the ARD client has 'stalled' forcing me to restart the agent. Another option would be to have someone restart the machine for you.
I have actually had to use ssh to uninstall and re-install the client software due to corruption or ??.
Let me know what the outcome is. I see this was from May so let me know either way.
Thanks

Remote Desktop not working via ASA

Hi Everyone,
ASA has 2 interfaces inside and sales.
There is ACL on interface sales that allow RDP on tcp port 3389 from sales to inside subnet 10.0.0.15.
Interface sales is attached to switch.
I did test from switch
2950A#telnet 10.0.0.15 3389
Trying 10.0.0.15, 3389 ...
% Connection refused by remote host
2950A#ping 10.0.0.15
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 10.0.0.15, timeout is 2 seconds:
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 4/5/8 ms
2950A#

Where 10.0.0.15 is PC and this PC is configured to allow Remote desktop connection coming in.
Any ideas what can i check?
Regards
MAhesh

Hi Jennifer,
I tested the RDP in both directions no luck.
Sales has security level
interface Vlan3
nameif sales
security-level 50
ip address 10.12.12.1 255.255.255.0
interface Vlan1
nameif inside
security-level 100
ip address 10.0.0.1 255.255.255.0
Ping works fine in both directions means from switch to PC and PC to switch so this should rule out routing right?
Seems NAT is not configured between inside and sales.

Remote Desktop not working on client after crash

I was installing the ARD Client along with some other OS upgrades on two client computers. My main ARD console was busy copying some files so I set up ARD to install the pkgs via the task server on another Mac. During the install my main ARD console crashed. Now the clients show up with the status that Screen sharing is allowed but they show the old version of the ARD client is installed. I manually installed the new ARD client but it still shows up on my console as the old version. Sometimes I can connect to the clients and sometimes I cannot. I can't do anything other than screen sharing and that is not working well either. I went to the client computer and stopped and started ARD through system preferences. When that didn't work I used the terminal command to kickstart ARD on the client. No change on the admin side. I've also noticed when I am able to connect to the client that it is constantly reconnecting to it like it is dropping the connection. I ran Activity monitor on the client and ARDAgent shows up there but keeps disappearing like its starting and stopping on its own. Has anyone had anything similar happen to them?

When I looked in this folder, I saw the "Client" folder with the red "no access" icon on it. I did a GetInfo and changed the permissions for this folder to include Administrators with read/write (why it wasn't already like this as I was logged into the server through ARD as admin [server is headless], I'll never know).
I propagated this perm changes down through the folder's children and all seems well. Its likely that because of the access issue, ARD could not initiate any connections (vnc://serverIP did not work either initially).
YMMV.

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!!

Hi Patr1c1a,
Did you check the radion button "Allow connections from computers running any version of Remote Desktop" on the recieving computer ?

Remote desktop not working with WAAS

I've got the WAAS setup and i'm see ok acceleration between sites but I have a complete failure of remote desktop. I've had to place a deny statement in my access list on the remote sites router for port 3389 to exclude traffic from the WAAS to even be able to get an RDP connection to work. I've tried to tell the WAAS to just set Remote-Desktop traffic to pass through but still no luck. Any help would be appreciated.

Because Internet access is allowed directly from the remote sites the ACL below will only redirect traffic destined for private addresses to the 474 located at the remote site.
ip access-list extended WCCP-REDIRECT
     permit tcp 10.0.0.0 0.255.255.255 172.17.0.0 0.0.255.25
     permit tcp 172.17.0.0 0.0.255.255 10.0.0.0 0.255.255.255
     permit tcp 172.16.0.0 0.15.255.255 172.17.0.0 0.0.255.25
     permit tcp 172.17.0.0 0.0.255.255 17.16.0.0 0.15.255.255

     permit tcp 172.17.0.0 0.0.255.255 192.168.0.0 0.0.255.255
By adding this I can force RDP to sort of work
     deny tcp any any eq 3389
     deny tcp any eq 3389

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..

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??

I recently upgraded from Snow Leopard to Lion and now some CDs I use for school do not work. Can I create a partition to run both Snow Leopard and LIon or does it only work to run windows? How do I do this?

Getting a new CD from publisher is not an option as they would want me to pay for a new one and they are pricey. If possible I would prefer to keep my upgrade to lion but would go back to leopard if there's no other option.

You can add another partition on which you can install Snow Leopard. If you do, however, you cannot use Boot Camp Assistant to install Windows. Just so you know.
To resize the drive do the following:
1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
After the main menu appears select Disk Utility and click on the Continue button. Select the hard drive's main entry then click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
2. You should see the graphical sizing window showing the existing partitions. A portion may appear as a blue rectangle representing the used space on a partition.
3. In the lower right corner of the sizing rectangle for each partition is a resizing gadget. Select it with the mouse and move the bottom of the rectangle upwards until you have reduced the existing partition enough to create the desired new volume's size. The space below the resized partition will appear gray. Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed. (Note: You can only make a partition smaller in order to create new free space.)
4. Click on the [+] button below the sizing window to add a new partition in the gray space you freed up. Give the new volume a name, if you wish, then click on the Apply button. Wait until the process has completed.
You should now have a new volume on the drive.
It would be wise to have a backup of your current system as resizing is not necessarily free of risk for data loss. Your drive must have sufficient contiguous free space for this process to work.
Boot from your Snow Leopard DVD and install on the volume you just created. Be sure you set the new partition as the target for your Snow Leopard system.

Fonts used for dreamweaver program not working

Hi I had installed fonts on my computer using font book and since then, I can not load Dreamweaver! I turned off and deleted most of the fonts and dreamweaver will now load, however the font used for the system - Example - on the preferences screen - the font used by the program is wacked and the fonts on the intro screen are just crazy symbols.
I am wondering what fonts are used by default by Dreamweaver for the program itself to function. if I open font book at the same time - both programs crash. - thank you very much in advance!!!!
please help see attached screen shot.
Christina

First open Font Book and validate all fonts. I believe you have to select all fonts cmd+a, and then click file->validate font. If any are corrupt, delete them. Also for future reference you may want to create a new collection (bottom left plus) with your custom fonts to avoid this issue in the future. Unfortunately, with a corrupt font this can be a long enduring process.
