Powerbook G4, OSX 10.5.8 for remote desktop

vinagre on Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS connects to my Powerbook G4 running 10.5.8 and works OK. However, it appears that a fundamental limitation of the remote desktop connection is that the laptop screen must remain open.
is there a way to set the power/display/AppleVNCServer settings to run OSX on a Powerbook while the screen is closed?
also I intend this as a question, though I clicked something that asked to un-mark this as a question.... and then it asked to re-mark as a question, which I did. OK so back to normal.

It seems I cannot edit the above. So here's a reply with what I learned in case someone looks for this too. Googling with terms "laptop lid display closed ssh" gets me what I needed. what can be done : power up the Powerbook, and while the chime is still audible (or a second or two), close the display. let it boot up - then I can get in using vinagre. Obviously heat dissipation is more of an issue, so take precautions.

  • Updates for Remote Desktop via App Store Software Update

    Hello, and Happy Thanksgiving. On a computer running Mavericks, I installed Apple Remote Desktop 3.5 from the disk (not from the App Store.) On it's first startup, I was greeted with the message "The Remote Desktop Administrator software must be upgraded on this computer." I downloaded and installed the 3.7 update manually from http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1565. However, I view this as a "Band-Aid", and not a fix. How would I recieve future updates for Remote Desktop from Software Update within the Mac App Store?

    Hi ya.. just to let everyone know Apple UK Senior Tech support are aware of this error message that we are all getting as from today and are on the case....

  • I have a time capsule connected directly to fiber connection. I have connected a windows server directly to TC and configured it for remote desktop connection. From my interanet I can access srvr but not from my home. What config I need on TC?

    I have a time capsule directly connected to fibre optic point out. All pcs and macs are connected wirelessly to the internet. I have connected a windows server pc to TC. When configured for Remote desktop connection, I can access windows server from within interanet but don't know how to access it from internet. I guess I need to change some settings in TC to get some ip adress for the remote desktop connection from my home. Anyone who can help me out? Appreciate it.

    I am a little lost now.. I have read again your title and your first post.. and they seem inconsistent.
    In the title you state.
    From my interanet I can access srvr but not from my home.
    Interanet is not a word I know.. I assumed intranet...are you talking about internet or intranet? And just to be clear say WAN or LAN.. !! Is your home part of the interanet??
    In the first post you state,
    I can access windows server from within interanet but don't know how to access it from internet.
    Now this is more normal.. the issue is not in the home at all, it is accessible from there but fails from internet. If this is correct, then you can do a few obvious things to determine where the problem is.
    But first I need to know are you actually testing from a different internet connection to your home lan.. you are not just trying the public IP from inside the LAN as that will fail due to the TC not doing NAT Loopback.
    I am also assuming the TC is the only router in the network, and has the public IP on the WAN interface.
    And I am also assuming you have turned on the ping responder and you can actually ping your public ip from the internet and get a response. This helps no end in figuring out where there are issues. Strange but I have no idea if there is a ping responder in the TC WAN so you might need to forward that as well. Also if you have a dynamic public ip address are you using dyndns or no-ip or some other service to connect.
    1. Test bypassing the TC.. plug the internet connection straight into the windows server,, and test if you have access. If yes, the TC is the problem.. if not, your setup on the windows server is wrong.. look at firewall in particular.
    2. Assuming from test 1 the TC is the problem, Post the screen shots of the port forwarding setup for us to look at.. that is by far the easiest way to check it out.
    There are lots of references to port forwarding in the TC.. eg
    http://must-know-mac.blogspot.com/2008/07/how-to-port-forward-time-capsule.html
    The things that generally go wrong are firewall on the computer that is accepting the port.
    The ISP doesn't allow connections on a particular port. (not likely in your case)
    The router is behind another router.. double NAT will kill any port forward.
    Upnp has already allocated a port.. not an issue as TC doesn't use upnp although a reboot of everything after you set port forwards is well worth it.. amazing how things don't stick properly without a reboot.
    IP on the receiving device is not static and so changes.
    Not enough or right type of ports are opened. This is always messier than it looks as one port is often not enough for two way communications.

  • Remote Desktop Service Manager - configure permissions for Remote Desktop Users to Send Message, Disconnect, Logoff

    Hello, dear colleagues.
    We are using Windows Server 2012 R2 as Remote Desktop Server. Also use Windows Server 2008 R2 with Remote Desktop Service Manager to control RDS user sessions (Send Message, Disconnect, Logoff, Query Info). 
    Send Message, Disconnect, Logoff options works only for users in Administrators group.
    I can't to configure permissions for Remote Desktop Users, specific user or AD group. 
    To set permissions I'm running RDS Host Configuration on Windows Server 2008 R2 and connect to Windows Server 2012 R2. Then double-click
    RDP-Tcp, Security tab, add specific user account , AD group or configure
    advanced permissions
    for Remote Desktop Users.  
    But, as I sad above, these options works only for users in Administrators group. How to make it work for Remote Desktop Users or specific user, AD group?
    Thanks.
    P.S. If move specific user from Remote Desktop Users group to Administrators group on
    Windows Server 2012 R2 - it works. 

    Hi,
    You can prevent administrators from changing the permissions for a connection by applying the
    Do not allow local administrators to customize permissions Group Policy setting. 
    This Group Policy setting is located in Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Security
    Apart there is one command with which you can set the permission for that check the related
    article. Additionally checkthis
    thread for more detail.
    Hope it helps!
    Thanks.

  • Error when uninstalling App-V RDS client: Product: Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) Client for Remote Desktop Services 5.0 Service Pack 2 x64 -- Error 1324. The folder path 'C:' contains an invalid character

    Issue:  experienced when attempting to uninstall the App-V 5.0 SP2 RDS client. 
    Event Log:  Product: Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) Client for Remote Desktop Services 5.0 Service Pack 2 x64 -- Error 1324. The folder
    path 'C:' contains an invalid character
    Symptoms (when in this current state): 
    Unable to uninstall the SP2 client
    You can upgrade the client (via hotfix) and uninstall the hotfix, but you will not be able to remove the SP2 client
    AppvVfs filter driver will not create an instance, therefore applications will not be able to read into existing streamed VFS content, or trigger sparse files to stream content.  (you can still stream the content via other means, like the UI or powershell)
    Because of the AppvVfs filter driver not instantiating, applications that depend on licences that exist in VFS will not be able to be read causing certain applications to react as if the license does not exist or is an incorrect format

    Resolution:
    Check for the existence of a hidden folder named %appdata% in the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Application Virtualization\Client folder.  (You will need to un-check the folder options box in windows explorer for "Hide
    protected operating system files" to see it)
    If the hidden %appdata% folder exists, delete it.
    Proceed to uninstall the App-V client
    After a clean uninstall and removal of remnants of the client, reinstall the client again and apply the latest hotfix available (Hotfix 2 for SP2 at a minimum).

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Group Policy for Remote Desktop Users

    Hi,
    Currently my users use desktops and have user and computer GPOs applied (typical things like logon scripts etc.) at the OU level where they reside e.g. Finance Users, Sales Users etc.
    I am planning a Remote Desktop 2012 environment.
    I have read the following:
    TechNet cc779327
    So, my understanding is that I create a new OU for my Remote Desktop Server only (not users), and create a new security Group for my RD Users and a security group for my RD server.
    Remote Desktop Servers OU
               * RD User GPO (filter on RD User security Group and RD Computer Security Group)
               * RD Computer GPO (filter on RD User security Group and RD Computer Security Group)
    I then apply all computer settings to the RD Computer GPO (loopback processing, Windows installer, hide shortcuts etc.).
    I then apply all user settings to the RD User GPO (app specific, templates etc.)
    Why not consolidate the two GPOs into one?
    If I set computer settings in the computer GPO, and apply it as above to filter to the RD Server group and RD Users Group will this apply to only users un the RD User Group...or ALL users since I added the server to the filter?
    If a user currently gets a setting in their normal OU e.g. Finance logon script, will they still get it on the Remote Desktop? Or do I need to copy that GPO setting to my new RD User GPO also?
    Am I right to add both RD Server and RD User groups to the filter on both RD User and RD Computer GPOs?
    Loopback processing - merge or replace typically for Remote Desktop?

    Hi,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
    Create OU for RDS Server in Active Directory. Create security group for users who will use Remote Desktop Host (i.e. RDS Users). Create GPO (i.e. RDS Server Lock Down). In Security Filtering delete Authenticated Users, add RDS Server Account, and the security
    group created in previous step.
    Please check beneath article might useful for better understanding.

  • Can we implement site catalyst for Remote desktop app like MS dynamics NAV?

    Can we implement site catalyst for Remote desktop app like MS dynamics NAV?
    please throw some insight

    Hi,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
    Does this happens for this particular application?
    For a test you can publish Notepad\WordPad as RemoteApp and check whether facing same issue. Please check the result and let us know. If it’s working normally then might seems there is some configuration issue with MS Dynamics App. 
    Does this happens for all user or specific users?
    Which version of RDP Client you are using for client system?
    Try to install RDP 8.1 for better feature.

  • OSX Lion Server VPN and Remote Desktop

    I can connect with vpn to my OSX Lion Server from the internet to my home network.
    With remote Desktop I can reach only the server itself not my other clients in the network.
    With my previous environment based on Snow Leopard server that was no problem.
    What could be the problem?

    I have an answer, but it has taken a long time to figure it out.
    I have a Mac Pro, running behind an Airport Extreme 811N router.  I ran OSX Server 10.6x and after I did the upgrade to 7.5.x firmware on my airport the L2PT service died going thru my router.  I simply switched to the PPTP VPN because it appeared to work fine.  Then I upgraded (or downgraded) to 10.7x Server.  When I did that they got rid of PPTP as an option, and my L2PT connections still did not work.  I went looking online for answers, and found alot of references to the 7.5.x firmware.  I ran a test to see if I could connect to the VPN internal to the LAN - thereby bypassing the router as an issue.  It worked flawlessly.  It definately had something to do with the way 7.5.x handles a packet. 
    After several trial/error sessions, I figured out that it was the DCHP service on the Airport Extreme that was causing the problem.  For whatever reason if you have DCHP assign the IP address to your VPN server, it will never work.  I took the server out of the DCHP pool, and gave it a static IP.  Once I did that and correctly configured the interface on my server (be sure to setup the DNS correctly if you use static IP) I was able to get the VPN to work flawlessly.  Was even able to turn the Back to my Mac feature back on.
    Don't know if this helps, but I have personally logged 3 days on this problem over the last 2 months.  I am pleased it is resolved.

  • App Store keeps asking me to download update for "Remote Desktop Client Update 3.8.2 v1.1 but I have never purchased Remote Desktop Client

    Hi, the App Store keeps asking me to download the update Remote Desktop Client Update 3.8.2 v1.1 but I have never purchased Remote Desktop Client so I am unsure why it is asking me to and worry that someone is trying to spy on me!  Does anyone know why this is?  Thanks in advance!

    I find it interesting that since Screen Sharing is available, and works "just fine" that a Remote Desktop Client would be needed to be installed.
    I installed it, but I'm not sure why.
    I found the updated application in /System/Library/Core Services/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent
    Which is also where the screen sharing and vnc bundles live.  I clicked on it to see what would happen -- nothing.
    I found these ports in another discussion
    TCP and UDP port 3283
    TCP and UDP port 5900.  (Also used for Screen Sharing in OSX 10.5 and later)
    port 22
    This page confirms their use along with the use of other ports:
    TCP and UDP ports used by Apple software products - Apple Support
    Additionally TCP port 5432 is used by ARD
    Having recently noticed (through "network utility" that my computers have had a "ton" of open connections.
    This severely hurt system performance.
    I note that neither my Airport Express nor my Mac can set up a firewall on these ports.
    While I haven't noticed the ARD ports being used, I cannot help but wonder if this is set up for a CIA/NSA backdoor into my computers.
    On a less paranoid level, perhaps Apple is planning on adding on-line help to debug our problems in "real-time".  ;-)

  • New to server, need VPN for remote desktop and file share...

    I've set up server and have the VPN working, I think, I need to have several outside systems join the servers VPN permanently to allow for file sharing and remote desktop. I don't want the "normal" internet browsing to go through the VPN (huge slow down) I have read that a "split DNS" or "split tunnel" is what I need, then to disable "send all traffic over VPN connection" option on each remote system. I was a little confused after reading on how to do this on Leopard server (the only instructions I found) but have absolutely no idea on how to do this on Snow Leopard server (the server I set up is 10.6) any assistance would be great, thanks in advance.

    Server Admin, VPN, Settings, Client Information, Network Routing Definition.
    Here add a private network record type that matches your LAN/VPN ip.
    For example
    IP Address: 192.168.0.0
    Mask: 255.255.255.0
    Type: Private
    You can find more informations about this feature in Snow Leopard Server documentation:

  • Help in setting up VPN for Remote Desktop

    Hi,
    We recently purchased a Cisco RV220W VPN Router and want to set up VPN connections for about 10 users(employess) to connect to their work PCs (mostly win 7 & win 8) from their home computers (windows & mac) using Remote Desktop. The documentation is quite poor. Can anyone point me to a tutorial and/or help me out with steps and settings? From the Admin Guide, it looks like I should be configuring Remote Access with an IPsec Client, but it's not clear how to handle/route multiple machines?

    Hi Ray,
    You can use the QuickVPN client to connect up to Windows 7 PCs. Windows 8 is not supported as of yet.
    For Windows 8 and Mac you can create PPTP users or try a third party VPN client like Shrewsoft (Windows) or IPSecuritas (Mac). You also have the SSL VPN option in the RV220W. Please note that the third party clients are not officially supported by Cisco.
    There are some good instructions for setting up Shrewsoft with the SA500 which is similar to the RV220W here:
    https://supportforums.cisco.com/docs/DOC-9378#comment-7216
    IPSecuritas for Mac:
