OS X remote desktop failure to PC with Windows Server - no error messages

Recently I installed the Microsoft Remote Desktop App on my iPhone 5s and successfully managed to connect to a machine which is running Windows Server. I also frequently connect to it using remote desktop on a PC.
I have since installed the Remote Desktop app onto a Macbook with Yosemite and the exact same settings do not work. When I click start, I get a black screen which says 'Initializing' and then 'Connecting' and then the window simply closes, with absolutely
no error message or warning.
The connection involves specifying a gateway if this is of relevance.
Given connection is possible using the same app on another device, I cannot reconcile the fact that it does not work through a Macbook and it's very frustrating because things I need to do are essentially not worth doing on the iPhone screen.
At the moment, the only thing I can think of is that the app version for iPhones works and the one for actual Mac computers is faulty because I see these are different versions.
Please help or restore my sanity by confirming my suspicions and if it is so, advise when the Mac version will be rectified. Alternatively, if there is an old version which would work, please can you provide a link to where I can install this?
Thanks in anticipation!

Hi,
From your description it seems that your MRD MAC is not working. Can you let us know which version of MRD MAC you are using, please try to use latest version v 8.0.13 and check?
Btw, by which method you are trying to remote connect (via IP address or Hostname). Please try alternate way and see. Also you can find the log on below path for more research on MAC.
Microsoft Remote Desktop>About Microsoft Remote Desktop>Send log via email
Apart for a try, built URI scheme and connect the server to check. You can get information over
here.
And for older version, sorry to say but there is no such option to download.
Hope it helps!
Thanks.

To install Remote Desktop Services User CAL on Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition with SP1

Dear Sir,
Presently we have installed Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition with SP 1. And now i would like to install Remote Desktop Services User CAL on this server. I have 25 digit product key of Windows Server
2008 R2 Remote Desktop Services User CAL (20). Downloaded this product key from our MSDN Subscriptions.
Kindly suggest me how to install (CAL server with product key that i have) and configure remote desktop services on my above existing server also how to point other server with my CAL server.
Thanks

Hi,
1. Install Remote Desktop Session Host and Remote Desktop Licensing Role Services using Server Manager.
2. Open RD Licensing Manager (licmgr.exe), Activate your server, then install your license
3. In RD Session Host Configuration (tsconfig.msc), set the Licensing mode to Per User and Specify your RD Licensing server name (itself). If you want you may configure these two settings via group policy setting instead. The path of the
group policy settings is Computer Configuration\ Administrative Templates\ Windows Components\ Remote Desktop Services\ Remote Desktop Session Host\ Licensing
4. You may point other RDSH servers to your RD Licensing server using RD Session Host Configuration or via group policy as mentioned above.
5. Optionally you may consider installing other Remote Desktop Role Services such as RD Gateway, RD Web Access, RD Connection Broker, etc.

Remote Desktop Connection certification issue with Win Server 2008 R2

When connecting to Windows 2008 server R2, from Windows 7, Vista and Mac OS 10.6.7 via Remote Desktop Connection, i am getting a 'Server Name on the Certificate is Incorrect' error.
if i click connect, i can still connect to the machine, due to a 3rd party managing the server, this doesn't look very professional on my part...
The server is a standalone machine and is not currently on a domain. RDC is only used for management purposes.

Hi,
This certificate error is normal, because your client do not trust the certificate which is installed on the terminal server. To avoid this issue,
you can export the certificate and import this certificate into the client side (computer account).
Thanks.

Remote Desktop Connection Mouse Slow with Windows 2012

Hello:
I am connecting to a customer site with Citrix and using Citrix's Remote Desktop. I know this may be a Citrix issue but not sure. Customer isn't helping so thought I would check here.
I have two connections to computers in their network with Remote Desktop. One is to a Windows 2003 Server which works fine. When I connect to Windows 2012 the mouse is slow. I tried adjusting the mouse settings but it doesn't help.
Has anyone else experienced this? Is it an issue specific to Citrix or to Remote Desktop in general?
Thanks,

check out this blog, it's for virtual PC though but also using RDP.
just try it out whether it helps or not

Windows Embedded 8.1 Industry Pro Application Launcher Remote Desktop Services Feed VDI with Windows Store Remote Desktop Client

I wanted to make kiosks which are joined into a domain and set up with an Remote Desktop Web Feed with VDI Desktops (to support Single Sign On and minimize configuration needs on the client side). And I wanted to lock those Clients to launch only the Remote
Desktop Windows Store application. And if somebody clicks on a Desktop Pool then connect to the choosen Pool. But instead of doing this the Remote Desktop application opens the Pool within the old mstsc.exe and right after connecting the OS switches the focus
back to the Remote Desktop Windows Store application. And nobody can work in the office with this configuration.
So how can I correct this problem? Any other solutions? What is the official way to doing this?

Hi,
Based on my test, we cannot associate .rdp files with the Remote Desktop Windows Store App. Therefore, you may have to use MSTSC or configure the setting in the Remote Desktop
Windows Store App manually.
Best Regards.

Remote video streaming not working with Windows Server Essentials Media Pack

I installed Server Essentials Media Pack and the video streaming via remote access does not seem to be working. I see all the video files on the server's remotewebaccess page in "Media Library" group. When I try to play the video in Chrome
the player appears for a brief moment, but then the browser starts downloading the entire file. With Internet Explorer the empty browser window opens and the download starts. I am trying it while outside of my local network. The video streaming used to work
with Server 2012 Esesentials. Am I missing some additional codecs or remote streaming is no longer supported?

Hi,
What’s the default player for these media files on your computer? The issue may be caused by the default player could not load the media file correctly. Please make sure Windows Media Player
with full codec installed is the default one. And then check if the media streaming feature could work as normal. Here is an article about how to configure the media streaming feature, hope it helps.

Remote desktop users lost overnight on windows server 2008 R2

We set up a group in active directory to allow certain users access to this Virtual Machine.
I am able to go into the the remote Users of the VM and add this group from active directory.
Every Morning i have to re-add this group as it has gone at some point. There is nothing i can see that would cause this.
Would anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you,

Hi,
According to your description, it seems that the domain Users added in the remote desktop users group disappeared after the reboot, right? What are the operating systems of the clients and server?
In addition, you can try to add domain users to the Remote Desktop Users Group via Group Policy to see if the issue persists. For more detailed information, please refer to the link below:
How to add "Domain Users/Group" to Remote Desktop Users group on Servers using
Group Policy ?

Publish Remote desktop through Microsoft VDI on Windows server std 2012

Hi
I have followed the steps, which you have mentioned in the below link. http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/partnerwinserver2012/thread/235594d6-a42d-4345-8a77-05481d8bc8bd#451ec885-bbff-4bf7-addb-983f22683c82
We have deployed 3 servers and tried to start the pooled managed desktop, it is showing an error in final stage. The error is " the integration components in the virtual desktop
template are not the correct version”. We have installed integration service setup and completed sysprep steps in windows 7 pro SP1 machine also.
Please let us know the furthers.
Edward Antony.D | Quadrasystems.net India Pvt Ltd

Hi A
This means unless you updated the integration services on your Windows 2012 or Windows 7 VMs (and Windows Server 2008 R2), they will be running an older version of the Integration Services. Machine\Auto\IntegrationServicesVersion for the IC version,
or from the host by using this command:
To update the easiest way, extract the content from C:\Windows\System32\vmguest.iso from the Hyper-V host to a folder, then launch the setup.exe from the relevant support\<architecture> folder on each VM. For example:
\\server\ISCUpdate\amd64\setup.exe /quiet /norestart
Note that this will require a reboot of the VM at some point, but the /norestart suppresses.
Let me know if this helps you
Cheers

Syncing iphone with windows 7 contacts - error message outlook.pst not foun

I have set set up ITunes to sync my Iphone GS with Windows Contacts. When I sync I get an error message :
The file c:\Program Files\Common Files\System\Mapi\1033\Outlook.pst could not be found
Sometimes the error message comes up 2 or 3 times.
Secondly, my Iphone is syncing with something because an old version of my windows address book is now on my iphone. Of course if I add a new contact to Windows Contacts, it does not appear on my iphone.
I dont have Outlook installed on my PC. It was removed, but I guess I do have an old outlook.pst file from my old times with Windows XP.
So how does Itunes manage the sync and how can I stop it syncing with my old address book and use Windows Contacts? I have tried resetting my sync history but it did not work.
I am running Windows7 (upgrade from Vista).

I am also having issues with syncing my Iphone 3GS with the latest version on Itunes. I have for a long while now been doing just great. My contacts, phone numbers, emails have all synced very nicely, no problems. As soon as I downloaded the new Itunes 9.1 I can no longer sync contacts, and calendars, as usual.
I tried several things that were suggested to me in the troubleshooting but nothing has helped. It usually tells me that my computer is not set up for syncing, and after arranging that it still doesn't work. As well, it says it cannot find the requested services.
Please help.
I am running windows 7, and have been for a while, it's not windows 7, it's the new Itunes upgrade.

ITunes issues with Windows XP - crazy error message

I've been using iTunes with XP and have no issues for years now. Today, when I went to open iTunes I received a message that Windows was configuring iTunes for installation. I am unable to complete installation and I receive this message..."Error writing to file C\Program Files\iTunes\iTunesResources\pl.lproj\DevicePrefsPodcasts.nib\objects.xib.
Verify that you have access to that directory
Anybody have any idea what this is about, thanks.
When I cancel out I get a Problem with Shortcut box, Fatal error occurred during installation!

One more question though under Program Files-iTunes, I have multiple iTunes folders, labeled iTunes(2) and iTunes(4). Should I delete these or leave them alone?
I don't think they're any immediate cause for alarm if they're what I think they are ... have you done some system restores on that PC at some stage, Matt? If a system restore is done to a restore point "over the top" of an installation or upgrade of a program, sometimes the system restore will put program files dating back to the previous version back on the PC. By design, it doesn't want to overwirte existing files on the PC, so it renames the top-most folder containing the files it has put back "<Program name> (2)" or "<Program name> (3)" if there's already a "(2)" and so on.
(Because the installation database for the program doesn't realise that there are any such files in folders "<Program name> (2)" etc files on the PC, they generally don't get removed in the course of regular subsequent updates or uninstall/reinstalls of the program and they stay lurking around on the PC ... it's actually precisely the same phenomenon that we just exploited in order to convince the iTunes repair install to go through ...)

IE 11 with Windows 7 prining error message

Ever since I switched from Windows XP to windows 7 and to IE 11, I can not print attachments to most emails. I get an error message about an internal error. My printer is HP LaserJet 1022. I've tried troubleshooting the printer, driver downloads etc to
no avail. Is there something else I can try?

Hi,
I suggest to post the screenshot of the internal error for further support, this will help to understand this issue.

Printing from IE9 with Windows 7. Error message: "There was an internal error and internet explorer is unable to print this document".

I can copy a page and paste it into word and it prints fien. I can print all word documents, Excel document, powerpoint documents, PDF documnets stored and opened from Adobe acrobat, but not PDFs while still online. I have reloaded the printer driver (HP
1020 laserjet) searched through any windows and IE updates all to no avail. I tried running IE as adminitrator and turning off "Enable protected mode". I tried to run Mr Fixit to recreate a missing folder and it said "does not apply to your problem" (or words
to that effect). I am running MS Office 2010 and Windows 7 and IE9. Help!

OK, I found the solution for this, at least for IE 64 bit. My IE 32 bit never had this problem. I am using Windows Home Premium 64 bit.
I read, from someone else, that opening IE 64 bit (right click on IE icon) and select "Run as Administrator" would allow you to print. Doing that way has to be done each time you open IE 64 bit...BUT...If you right click on the IE 64 bit
icon (not the one in the Taskbar) and slide down to 'properties' and then left click, you will see an "Advanced" tab box (about 2/3rds the way down) that allows you to open another properties page. Click it open and select "Run as administrator".
This will allow you to print by just opening IE 64 bit the normal way and going to whatever webpage you want to print. I have done several tests and all seems back to normal.

The remote desktop session host configuration & Remote session shadowing options missing in Windows server 2012.

Hi All,
I am using a Windows server 2012 Standard. When i leave my session idle for more than 20 min it disconnects and post more 20 minutes my session is logged off.
I know this setting can be changed from Remote desktop session host configuration in Windows server 2008 R2. But this option "Remote desktop session host configuration" is not there in Windows server 2012. Does any one have an idea where do i go
and edit these settings in the Server 2012 o/s ?
Also the Remote session shadowing option is also not available when i right click a user in the task manager. Any idea on an alternate method in Windows server 2012 ?

Exactly WHERE are the W2K12 R2 equivalent GPO settings to W2K8 R2 GPO settings of "Set time limit for disconnected sessions" and "set time limit for active but idle Remote Desktop Services
sessions"? Microsoft changed the remote desktop/terminal services around.
Appreciate it.
Matt
