OS 10.6.3 and Remote Desktop for windows server, PDF Printer problem

We are using Remote desktop for mac by windows in the office to work on a remote windows server, On the server we are using a business software (Mamut) for sale. In OS 10.5 we are using the PDF Printer to transfer PDF (invoice) from the business software (Mamut) 'Mamut is seeing the PDF printer as any other printer' to the desk top of your mac, so we can attach the PDF to a mail before we send it out to a customer, but in OS 10.6 the PDF printer is removed! So we need a different way of transfer the PDF from the windows server to the mac desk top.
So now I am wondering if any one has a suggestion on how to fix this! if not we can't upgrade to OS 10.6, and that would be a shame!

The thing is that in Mamut, we hit print, and because we us the PDF printer as Printer for Remote desk top, it pup up on the desk top of the mac, as a PDF. But in OS 10.6 there isn't any PDF printer to install, so then we have to make a PDF on the windows server and move it from the server to the mac, by mounting the HD from the Mac to the remote desk top, so it become edible in from the server. I think this is cumbersome.

MacBook with OS X and remote desktop to Windows server

I am curious if an apple MacBook running OS X 10.4 can be used as a remote desk top to access a Windows 2000 server. It is easy to do so with a Windows PC with Windows XP. However this necessitates carrying a Windows machine while travelling. I like the MacBook Pro I have and would like to use it for remote access. I do not want to install Windows on the MAC even though I can do it with my MacBook Pro.
Any thoughts? Or are there sittes addressing this issue?
Thanks in advance.

How to allow more than two users on remote desktop on windows server 2012 foundation?

i have a dell server power edge T300 with windows server 2012 foundation. I am unable to connect more than two remote desktop at once.

Hi,
Add to Brain, you cannot have more than 15 user accounts in Windows Server 2012 Foundation.
In order to access a hosted application, such as Microsoft® Office, a license for Windows Server 2012 Remote Desktop Services is required for each user account (not to exceed 15 user
accounts) that directly or indirectly uses RD Gateway to host a graphical user interface, including using Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) client. When using Remote Desktop Services, you may not install or use Remote Desktop Connection Broker or Remote
Desktop Virtualization Host role services. For more information about Remote Desktop CALs , see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=140238.

Using drag and drop in remote desktop on windows server 2008

we running an application on windows server 2008 terminal services .. this application was support drag and drop functionality .. i understand that terminal services on windows 2008 is supported to drag and drop but is not happening !! even when i run remote desktop connection on this server the drag and the drop is not working !
i need to enable the drag and drop for windows 2008 terminal services ..
Thanks in advance

Hello Ayman,
If your requirement is to drag and drop files between local and remote sessions, Danny is right. Drag-and-drop feature is not supported in Windows Server 2008-based Terminal Server, which is a by-design behavior hard-coded in the current version of the Remote Desktop Protocol.
As a workaround, I recommend you to use copy-and-paste function instead of drag-and-drop. To enable the copy-and-paste between local and remote session, please enable the clipboard redirection in Windows Server 2008-based RDC. (In Windows Server 2003 environment, local drive redirection is needed.)
Hope it helps. Thanks.

Web Access for Remote Desktop on Windows Server 2012

Hello,
i've a Windows Server 2012 without a domain. So i installed the remote desktop session host, the remote desktop license server and the remote desktop gateway as a server role only. All is working fine. Without a domain, no management tools for remote
desktop are available. So i configure the remote desktop via the registry. I define (via registry) some remoteapps, too. All values are copied from a running Windows Server 2008 R2. So the remoteapps are runing.
Now i want to use the new Microsoft Remote Desktop client for Android. To use a remoteapp i must define a remote resource. To define a remote resource i need a url to the web access for remote desktop. So i installed the web access. But if i login to the
web access, i don't see any remoteapp. What's wrong? I've set the ShowInTSWA to 1. What must i do to access an existing remoteapp via web access?
Martin

Hi Martin,
Server 2012 RD Web Access is designed to retrieve published RemoteApps and Desktops from a Server 2012 RD Connection Broker and/or a Server 2008 R2 RD Session Host server. From your description it doesn't appear that you are using either of the above.
I know it is a more complicated set up, but you should consider having a domain, creating a RDS deployment, etc., so that you can use the full featureset as it was intended. You can do it all on a single server if needed. For Server 2012
there is a hotfix that needs to be applied to permit RD Connection Broker to work on the same server instance as active directory.

Enabling Remote Desktop for Windows 7 as a task sequence

Hi there.
I have a task sequence to automate the creation of a base image of Windows 7 x64 Professional. In my base image I would like to have Remote Desktop enabled by default for all users. Is there a command or a script to do this that I can add into my task sequence to make this possible?
Thanks.

I have to agree except I can't understand why anyone would use anything other than the unattend.xml. You can do all that plus so much more and it's the way Microsoft provides to do it. This is my complete x64 unattend.xml version but I also have
an x86 version. This should give you some idea of it's capabilities.
Drop the unattend.xml file into a package and reference it in the Task Sequence as shown below. I dropped both my x86 and x64 version of the unattend.xml into the package. I use an OSD HTA menu on the frontend to let helpdesk pick
between x86 and x64. I cropped the picture up a bit and took out company specific info but you should get the idea from the screen captures. This is how I deploy x86 and x64 in a single task sequence. I mark every line with a condition in the task
sequence with (C) which makes it easier to find lines with conditions. I use the condition to assign x86 and x64 software among other things. The selection in the HTA pretty much triggers everything.

Remote Desktop To Windows Server Very Slow

I have OS X 10.6 running on a MBP and a problem that seems to be growing worse over time. I am using Remote Desktop (both CoRD and Microsoft Remote Desktop) to gain access to remote servers. One is a Windows Server 2008, the others are Windows Server 2003. Initially all was fine, but over the last 2 months access to the W2K server has crawled to a halt. Now, when accessing the other servers I'm having the same issue. I have tried different clients for remote access, used different high speed Internet connections (FIOS, a private network) and the result is the same. Very, very slow connections.
I have also tried using a different login on the laptop to no avail.
I booted Windows on my MBP using Parralels Desktop and tried using Windows RDC to the same servers; that works fine. In fact, I can access the servers very quickly using my iPhone's Remote Access software using the same Internet connection (home WiFi) as my MacBook Pro.
So I can only assume it's an issue with OS X 10.6, since different devices using the same Internet connection can make a much faster connection. But I can't find any similar posts on the issue.
Any ideas are appreciated!

Hi Jason,

Can I use Remote Desktop Connection (windows server 2008) even if no user is logged in?

I'm configuring a Server, running Windows Server 2008, to be accessed remotely. Suppose no user is logged in in the server (if it was just turned
on, for instance). Can I use the "Remote Desktop Connection" feature to log in remotely in this case? Or is it always necessary to have a user locally logged in, to remotely log in to one of the users available?

If its a fresh installation, RDM might not work at first.
1. You need to check firewall and allow Remote Desktop. To be specific, communication to port 3389 TCP
2. Right click My Computer --> Properties --> Remote tab
Enable Remote Desktop
Allow connections to this computer
Click users and grant the permissions for the users. By default, Administrators do have the permission. An also, the users who are members of the 'Remote Desktop Users' security group also have the permission

HP OfficeJet 6700 throught Remote Desktop in Windows Server 2008

Yes, you can try to download the 990c driver and it should work. (Shane_R) has a post that gives you directions on how to download the alternate drivers. Here is a link that may assist you.

Remote access for Windows Server 2012

Hello there,
I have a dedicated Windows Server 2012 server, and I need remote access from a PC from a Mac OS X simultaneously.
Today, I use Remote Desktop Connection on the Mac and TeamViewer on your PC.
The problem is that the PC loses connection when Remote Desktop Connection is closed!
What is the solution for either the PC or the Mac or the two at the same time to access the server desktop?
Is there a setting that allows TeamViewer this?
Should I use or purchase additional software? if so, which one?
In short, what is the best solution to this problem?
Thank you!

We use RDP through VPN, so there is no forwarding ports, it is as if we are on the same network. This way, you do not have to worry about hackers, as you are in a secure VPN.
Are you doing this from a different office, from home, from a computer in the next room on the same network? What level of remote access are you looking at?
RealVNC is a good solution, but again, if you are outside the network, you will either need to go through a VPN to keep it secure, or open ports on the firewall. RDP will give you the ability to have two concurrent users (although with different usernames)
logged on at once. The limitation of only one user is a session limit on the computer itself, if one person is logged in as administrator, if someone else tries to RDP and log in as administrator, they will take over the session. This is
the same with other solutions. RealVNC is using a console session, so if another person uses VNC, they will see the already open console session, and possibly take over the others VNC session.

Routing and Remote Access Logs (Windows Server 2008 R2)

Hi,
I have a Windows 2008 R2 server running Routing and Remote access and users are using PPTP VPN's to connect to our network.
I have been asked to find logs for the following for connections in to our server
Username used for connection
Computer Name
IP Address used by computer connecting
Start/End time of VPN session
Date
Encryption used
I found an article stating to enable RRAS logs you need to run the following command
To enable RAS logs run command “netsh ras set tracing * enabled” and found a series of logs created in this location C:\Windows\tracing
None appear to contain the information I am looking for and was wondering if I was doing this correctly and if not how I am meant to extract this information?
If you require any more details just let me know.
Kind Regards

Hi,
I can’t sure which article you have read, but fur the 2008R2 the RAS to enable the log and the debug log in the KB is descried like this, I recommend you to try the KB
mentioned method.
To configure RRAS to enable logging
1. Start Server Manager. Click Start, click Administrative Tools, and then click Server Manager.
2. In the navigation tree, expand Roles, and then expand Network Policy and Access Services.
3. Right-click Routing and Remote Access, and then click Properties.
4. On the Logging tab, select Log errors only, Log errors and warnings, or Log all events, depending on how much information you want to capture.
5. Click OK to save your changes.

HP Pavilion p7-1451 USB 3.0 and Bluetooth drivers for Windows Server 2008 R2

I bought an HP Pavilion p7-1451 so I could have an affordable, yet reasonably powerful machine to put a server software development environment on (I'm a software engineer).
It came with Windows 8, but I needed Windows Server 2008 R2, which I own through an MSDN subscription. I did what I always do in these cases, re-partioned the hard drive, re-formatted, and installed the new operating system.
I have nearly all devices working properly, but it still won't recognize the USB 3.0 ports and the Bluetooth device. I searched everywhere but cannot find anything that will work. Anything from the HP site is targeted for either Windows 7 or 8, and when trying either one of those, it tells me "Your system does not meet the operating system requirements" and MSI does not publish any drivers at all for this particular motherboard (that I can find anyway).
Motherboard: MSI MS-7778 also known as: MSI 2AEO version 1.0
BIOS: AMI 8.12
This is the list of "Other devices" in Device Manager that Windows doesn't recognize:
BCM20702A0
Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controller
Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controller
Bluetooth Device ID: USB\VID_0A5C&PID_21F1&REV_0012
USB Controller device ID: PCI\VEN_1022&DEV_7812&SUBSYS_2AE0103C&REV_03
Windows still doesn't recognize them after allowing it to search the internet.
And I've googled all over the place and I'm not getting anywhere.
Does anyone have any advice?
Any chance this could be related to the BIOS?
I'm not having any luck finding a BIOS download for this motherboard either.
Any help is much appreciated!
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Holy crap, it worked!!
My version number was slightly different in the .inf files, but I dropped the last ".1" off the end and that did the trick!
So, the steps were:
Get and extract the driver files:
1. Download the AMD Chipset Drivers file from here:
http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Pages/raid_windows.aspx#2
(choose the first download in the list. It's called "AMD Chipset Drivers")
2. Download and install 7-Zip from here:
http://7-zip.org/download.html
3. Right click the 13-4_vista_win7_win8_32-64_sb.exe chipset file, select "7-Zip", then choose "Extract Here"
Install the USB Host Controller driver:
1. Open the USB Controller .inf file in Notepad from the following location:
13-4_vista_win7_win8_32-64_sb\Packages\Drivers\SBDrv\hseries\USB30\amdxhc\W764A\amdxhc.inf
2. Find all instances of: .5.1.1 and replace with: .5.1
and save and close the file.
3. In Device Manager, right click the first unknown "Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controller" and choose "Update Driver Software..."
4. Choose "Browse my computer for driver software", navigate to the directory in Step 1, and click Next.
5. Accept any warnings and choose to Install anyway...
It should recognize and install the USB Controller driver (finally progress!)
Repeat the same steps above for any other USB 3.0 controllers that are unrecognized.
The devices should now say "Unknown device" instead of "Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controller".
Windows recognizes your controllers now, but not the USB root hubs.
For each of those "Unknown device" entries, do this to install the USB 3.0 Root Hub:
1. Open the USB Hub .inf file in Notepad from the following location: (notice that it's a different directory)
13-4_vista_win7_win8_32-64_sb\Packages\Drivers\SBDrv\hseries\USB30\amdhub\W764A\amdhub30.inf
2. Find all instances of: .5.1.1 and replace with: .5.1
and save and close the file.
3. In Device Manager, right click the first "Unknown device" and choose "Update Driver Software..."
4. Choose "Browse my computer for driver software", navigate to the directory in Step 1, and click Next.
5. Accept any warnings and choose to Install anyway...
I plugged in a USB 3.0 hard drive, and at first it didn't seem to work. I tried another port and still nothin. But after about 40 seconds the drive was recognized and all is well. Yay!
Thank you Paul for your help!
Hopefully this post will help others too.

JDK and JRE comptability for Windows server 2008

Hi,
Could someone please let me know what are the JDK and JRE versions that are comptabile with Windows server 2008 ?
Thanks.

Hi,
For security purposes, the IP address for the Windows Update web site constantly changes and it is not a fixed address. Also, there is no official publication of the
IP addresses. We normally advise against defining IP addresses on the firewall for this purpose. Instead, we suggest either allowing all outbound connections to http & https ports or defining the DNS addresses as permitted destinations for traffic via
the firewall.
For up-to-date information about the IP's being used by Windows Update, use the DNS system, as this is the only reliable up to date source of information. If you use
DNS, make sure the following destination hosts are specified:
http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com
http://*.windowsupdate.microsoft.com
https://*.windowsupdate.microsoft.com
http://*.update.microsoft.com
https://*.update.microsoft.com
http://*.windowsupdate.com

Hi Sailesh,
If you're running Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) or 10.7 (Lion), Adobe PDF is replaced.
