Please help - Connection Refused - Mac to Windows Server 2012

I have downloaded MS Remote Desktop onto my brand new Macbook Air OS X and have tried to connect to my school network - which when logged in says it is "Windows Server2012"
However each time I try to log in it simply says connections refused. Nothing more.
Not sure what I can do next.
Thank you for any help,
Laura

Hi Laura,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Are you trying to remote desktop with IP address or hostname?
Please try both alternate way and check is there any difference between them. Also as suggested by Manouchehr Omari, please see that you have remote desktop enabled on server 2012 and related RDP port (3389) opened for remote connection to take place under
firewall setting. If possible for a try disable firewall and check. You can get more troubleshooting information from beneath link.

Unable to connect computers to a Windows Server 2012

I have two brand new Windows 7 Professional computers that I want to connect to a Windows Server 2012 Essentials. I'm able to download the connector software but when it is searching for the server I receive a message that "Cannot locate or identify

Hi Hector M.Devarie,
Would you please check if can ping the server successfully by using server name and IP address? Please temporarily
disable firewall and then connect to server again. And monitor the result.
You descript “I'm able to download the connector software”. Would you please let me know the complete error
message when can’t download. Or provide a screenshot, it will help me to understand this issue clearly.
By the way, please check if IIS run as normal in the server.
Hope this helps.

Help! Office 365 and Windows Server 2012 R2 (Essentials) no longer communicating

Hi - I have had this problem beginning November. From what I can tell, it started after I applied a Windows Update patch of the latest Microsoft Online Services Sign-in Assistant. Now when I go in to the Windows Essential Dashboard, where I have
my domain linked with Office 365 for business, the "Microsoft Online Account" area shows as "unknown". I have tried removing and re-adding the assistant but to no avail. I have read some clue that the version should be 7.250.4259.0
but I am unable to find the download locally or online.
Additionally, the area of Office 365 does not show my Org, Domain, Subscription or exchange online information. However, when I click "Link a Domain" it is recognizing that I have already done so. Again, everything worked great until
this blasted update.
We are a school and I need to be very careful not to break/disconnect the Drive Shares of the "Cloud" component as that's how students access their files.
I did see this link from NEO YU but am a bit nervous as my knowledge of AZURE is near null.

you may need follow that documation...start a PowerShell as administrator and type the cmdlet

Domain computers can't runt RD Web applications when connected from outside company – Windows server 2012 R2

Hi Everyone,
I have a question related to RDweb service.
I have successfully installed RD web role on windows server 2012 R2.
All went ok. I also installed a valid third party certificate.
I can connect from outside to the server and run applications using any devices: Ipad’s, mobiles and laptops.
The problem is that: Any Computer/Laptop that is joined on the domain can connect to RDWEB from outside the company BUT CAN'T RUN ANY APPLICATIONS. The RD session is taking long time it failes.
Note that from inside the network is working.
What it can be?
Thank you in advance,
Criss

Hi,
The internet connection from where I’m doing the tests is quite good. I think the error with the latency is not relevant because probably the computerRD gateway it doesn’t allow it and that way it fails with this error. For a computer that never been joined
on the domain is working perfect no delay at all..
We are using RD Gateway … installed everything on the same machine Windows server 2012 R2.
When I click RemoteApp I see the remote the prompt of RD gateway, I click ok, then nothing happened for 2-3 min. after this time it brings the error with the delay.. OR “couldn’t connect on the remote computer because an error occurred on the remote
computer that you want to connect to.”
Again, the connection is failing ONLY when we try to connect from outside the company and it happened ONLY with the Computers that are joined on the Domain.
EX: An user (with Office Laptop - joined on domain) can connect to RD Gateway and lunch the RemoteApp’s from inside LAN but when is leaving Home can’t run the Remote App;s. In the meantime he can connect and run RemoteApp’s with his private computer.
What it can be different between the Office and his home private computer?
For Outside users we’ve have open only port 443 on firewall. Why need to open UPD 3391?
I’ve notice that if I take a laptop that is working and join it on the domain it will have the same issue. If will dis-join it will still have the same issue after all.
Thank You

VPN Connectivity from Mac to Windows Server

I have been using Windows OS all my life, now I recently bought a new Mac machine, and it my first time using Mac OSX Lepord, so I don't no much, I tried to connect my Mac to a VPN - windows using the mac VPN Connectivity provided which uses tunneling Protocol, I am successful in establishing connectivity to windows server, but the problem is, it still uses ip address assigned by the router while rowsing, and not the ip address of the VPN machine while browsing sites, the reason I use VPN connectivity is to bypass ISP who blocks most of the useful sites. I tried to set proxy setting in my safari browser, but failed and also automatic proxy does not work, can someone hep me and tell me how to achieve what I am trying to achieve using MAc.

exero –
Though this will be a pain it will help trace down the problem.
Since you are attempting to VPN to the SBS what happens if you connect the Mac locally dose RDP connection map the drives and can you map to the SBS shares directly?
What happens if you try connecting with a PC via the VPN?
Also (though risky) I would open all the ports on your firewall that point to the SBS and try connecting to the VPN again with Mac and see what happens. (Don’t forget to close them back).
Below are two links that may provide some additional information. The first is from Microsoft and list all of the ports used by MS products. The second one is a public post that focuses on SBS 2003.

String databaseName = "jdbc:rmi://" + "localhost" + ":1099/jdbc:cloudscape:CloudscapeDB;autocommit=true;create=true";

Please help: connection refused on localhost

I'm using RMI in a BEA WebLogic 7 environment. I've written an RMI object that
registers itself (with Naming.rebind) in its main method:
myObject mo = new myObject();
Naming.rebind("//localhost:7001/my_object", mo);
I am importing standard RMI packages, not WebLogic RMI packages. The code itself
appears to be fine, and I have deployed it as a startup class in WebLogic 7. Problem
is, when I restart WebLogic and that Naming.rebind call is executed, it returns:
java.net.ConnectException:
Connection refused: connect
at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.socketConnect (Native Method) ...
I am running WebLogic on port 7001 on my local workstation, which has a dynamic
network IP,
so I need to bind at either 127.0.0.1:7001 or localhost:7001. I have tried both
repeatedly in my code, with and without the port number, and everything fails.
I also played with the Socket permissions in the weblogic.policy file and fileRealm.properties
file, but still no connection. I'm at wit's end. Can you help, please?

I am having the same problem. Surprizing thing is the creator (SAP) itself is not solving the problem.

Windows Server 2012 R2 robocopy not copying inherited directory permission from source file server to destination ?

Can anyone here please help me with Robocopy on Windows Server 2012 R2 to copy the file server content from \\OldFileServer\Data share into the local S:\Data drive ?
here's my script that I use to copy 11 TB of file server contents:
robocopy.exe "\\OLDFILESERVER\Data" S:\Data *.* /E /SECFIX /SEC /XO /ZB /COPYALL /MIR /DCOPY:DAT /R:0 /W:0 /NP /NFL /NDL /TEE /LOG:"G:\robocopy.log"
Any kind of help and assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
/* Server Support Specialist */

Hi,
Based on my tests, inherited permissions will not be copied using robocopy.exe.
That’s because that after we copy or move an objects to another volume, the object inherits the permissions of its new parent folder.
My suggestion for you is to disable the inheritance on corresponding subfolders, and Convert inherited permissions into explicit permissions on this object. After that, those permissions can be copied.
Here are some references below for you:

Remote Desktop Configuration on Windows Server 2012 R2

Hi, I wanted to see if anyone knows how to access the console that was known before as Terminal Services Configuration.
I've been having trouble with some servers that have 2 or more NICs and sometimes the RDP protocol won't listen on the right IP and I can't connect until I disable the other NICs.
Usually in 2008 R2 I would just go on this console and define the specific IP Address in which the RDP Protocol should be listening to, but know I can't find this console anywhere on 2012 R2.
Any ideas on how I can get there or change this setting on Windows Server 2012 R2?
Thanks
Eduardo Rojas

Hi,
Based on my research, please try the following on your Windows Server 2012 R2.
1. Start Registry Editor.
2. Navigate to the following registry key (path may wrap):
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Network\{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
3. Under this key are one or more keys for the globally unique identifiers (GUIDs) corresponding to the installed LAN connections. Each of these GUID keys has a Connection subkey. Open each
of the GUID\Connection keys and look for the Name value. Choose the connection you want Terminal Services to use.
4. When you have found the GUID\Connection key that contains the Name setting that matches the name of your LAN connection, write down or otherwise note the GUID value.
5. Then navigate to the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\lanatable. Using the GUID you noted in step 5 select subkey. Note it's LanaId.
6. Navigate to the following value:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp\LanAdapter. Change it's data to the value you noted in step 6. If you want RDP to listen on all LAN
adapters enter value of 0.
Note: Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you
modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, please refer to
How to back up and restore the registry in Windows.
Hope this helps.

Windows Server 2012 Essentials Connector version is more current than server

In trying to connect a new laptop to domain/server, it kept failing with a message indicating that other software was in the process of installing or that a reboot was pending. Since neither was the case, I downloaded the current version of the Connector
software from the Microsoft website to try. That didn't work either. It turns out that a pre-installed software component called Intel Smart Connect Tech was keeping the laptop from connecting. I uninstalled this software and installed the
connector software and it appeared to connect to the server. However, it is displayed in the Essentials Dashboard as Offline. The client (Laptop) displays a message saying "The Windows Server 2012 Essentials Connector version that is installed
on this computer is more recent that the sever. Contact the administrator to ensure the server is up to date". I tried uninstalling the Connector software from Control Panel, but I get a message "Could not delete key \software\microsoft\windows
server. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel". I've tried both with domain admin and local admin credentials. So, I ignored the message and continued the connector install. It finished
and appeared to connect successfully. The connector version displayed in Control Panel\Programs and Features is correct. However, the registry entry is not updated and the version error pops up with each login and the Dashboard shows the client
as offline.

Hi C.R.Lowe,
Based on your description, I’m a little confused with this issue. Before going further, would you please let
me confirm something more? Thanks for your understanding.
When connect the client to Windows Server 2012 Essentials, did you mean that use
http://<servername>/Connect
and then select Download software for Windows option? More descriptions, please refer to the following article.
To connect a client computer to the
server
If I misunderstand, please don’t hesitate to let me know.
On current situation, please navigate to the registry path as the error message shows. And check
Version value and let me know. Meanwhile, please right click
Windows Server folder in Registry Editor and select “Permissions…”, then check if the account was assigned the correct permission to delete key.
In addition, please check if you have installed the
Update Rollup 1 for Windows Server 2012 Essentials
By the way, please check Event Viewer and some related logs if can find some more clues. If any update, please
feel free to let me know.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Justin Gu

Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials Trial Key - Did I miss it, too?

I tried both "Windows Server 2012 Essentials" and "Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials". Here is the link to the page I downloaded the images:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/evaluate-windows-server-2012-essentials
The following are the respective links to the images I used which were provided by the above webpage:
http://care.dlservice.microsoft.com/dl/download/1/2/9/129AEC4F-1C6C-44B2-9B61-77935E8AB1F4/WindowsServer2012Essentials-English-Install.iso

I tried burning these images to DVD and booting my Intel NUC with resulting disc. Setup goes fine but it asks me for a product key. I have not received any mail nor was there any pointers to a product key. This is why I tried both R1 and R2.
I found a similar post here regarding this issue (in fact I found a couple):
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/forums/windowsserver/en-US/db7fd5b9-f58d-4456-86cf-816ec91ded14/windows-server-2012-trial-key-did-i-miss-it
But the answers were unsatisfactory, so please do not give me the same response.
Just in case the question/directive comes up, I redownloaded and re-burned the images using sector verification. There are no checksums posted on the site so who knows if something got broken while downloading it, but I find it extremely unlikely that
a few bad sector would cause the intaller to forget its evaluation key rather than borking the whole installer.
Further note that I tried "Windows Server 2012 R2" (standard / non-essentials) and that image correctly had the trial versions baked in. So, I would bet dollars to donuts the problem lies in the images not in a download / burn failure.
I want to use the new NUC as a central content/backup server for all the home computers which are unfortunately growing at bunny reproduction rates. Since Windows Home Server was discontinued, I was pointed to Server 2012 R2 as the alternative / upsell.
Let me know if this is the case or if a better-fit product exists.
Also, is the "Essentials" install a simply a licensing matter (e.g., 25 user cap) or is it more fundamentally crippled than the standard version? I am only a home enthusiast and so not really interested in using the product in a production environment.
I only want some ensurance that if I download "standard", I can put in an "essentials" key at the end of evaluation. If not, then please point me to a correct "Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials" trial image.
Thanks,
Ryan

Hi Ryan,

Windows server 2012 RDSH

I have application servers running on windows server 2008 R2. Is it possible that i can install session host role on windows server 2008 R2 and web access and connection broker role with windows server 2012.

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
As both have different version OS, we can use some powershell command to manage the RDSH Server 2008 R2 with server 2012.

Anywhere Access (Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials)

I am need some help. I have a Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials server at my house. Currently I am trying to setup Anywhere Access, but I have issues. First, the router that I got from my ISP doesn't have UPnP, so I have to do port forwarding.
1. Which ports need to be opened? Ive tried opening ports 80, 443, 1723, and I still get any error when setting up UPnP (done this several times).
Is there anything that I have missed that I don't know about? Needing a fresh pair of eyes. Are there any other ports that I need to open and forward them to my server? Would i have to doing anything on the advanced firewall settings on the server?
Thank you,
David Marks

You can just open 80 and 443, no need for 1723.
When running the Anywhere Access wizard, tell it to skip the router setup.
