Prevent Remote Desktop 2008R2 session from locking after 10 mins of inactivity

Do you have a screensaver setup?
GPEDIT -> User configuration -> Administrative templates -> control panel -> display
Change screen saver to disabled, and screen saver timeout to a high value just in case.
Sometimes there are issues with screensaver settings stuck there is a reg fix for it as well:[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop] "ScreenSaverIsSecure"="0"

Can someone direct me where to prevent the session from locking after 10 mins. I have read that this is a default behavior of 2008R2.
Thanks

Windows 2012r2 Remote desktop services: session based: Locked down

I am trying to lock down the remote desktop services sessions , just like I did with windows 2003 TS.
I am following this article :
http://www.it.ltsoy.com/windows/lock-down-remote-desktop-services-server-2012/
I have done till disable registry modifications.
I stopped to check if the changes made were in effect before continuing.
What did work is the disable server manager popup at user logon.
Nothing else seems to have taken effect: just to mention a few
Microsoft administrative tools,
network and sharing center.
ABCD drives are still being seen.
What did I miss ?
regards
Leopold
(first time I am doing gpo with > ms 2003) so maybe I am doing something wrong.)

If the group policy setting doesn’t take effect, please log off users then log back on.
If the issue persists, please run GPresult.exe to determine whether the setting is applied to users.

Your Remote Desktop Services Session Has Ended - Occurs when running in background

Our remote desktop users are having an issues with the RD session ending whenever we are running it in the background. Namely the session will run as long as the computer is idle or I am actively working in RD. Within 4 minutes of leaving RD and working
in another application, I receive the message: Your Remote Desktop Services Session Has Ended

You are posting in the wrong forum. Post in the RDS forum for help with the RDS product.

Is it possible to get Remote Desktop to work from my Surface 2 to a local PC running Vista?

Is it possible to get Remote Desktop to work from my Surface 2 to a local PC running Vista?
I keep getting "cannot find PC" entering IP or PC name
but as a test I have set up my PC to do web hosting, and I can browse to the IP address using desktop IE and see my local web pages.
I've just found a reference that says it has to be Business Vista.
Why would Microsoft put such a STUPID restriction in?
I think this Surface thing is going to go back if so.
What about Win8 64 Pro? Will that work?

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Yeah, windows 8 pro can connect to surface 2. There is detailed article guide for it, please check below link.

Hope it helps!

Access denied error while running opening remote power-shell session from one azure machine to another

We are trying to open a remote power-shell session from one azure machine to another azure machine and that is failing with the following error. Any ideas?
Observations: -
If the worker role is running under network service or local system, then it fails.
We emulated the same behavior from a stand-alone exe and that also failed when the exe was run under network service or local system.
If we run the same stand-alone exe from a user account, then it works.

Hi,
This error only show access is denied, and it is hard for me to deal with this issue, may be Windows Powershell forum or Windows Azure VM are good forums for you, could you give more details information to us for a better help if this issue
was related with windows Azure.

Remote desktop connects, black screen, disconnects after a few seconds

I have several servers running Windows Server 2012 R2. These servers are used for testing, and are members of a domain which has two DCs, each of which are running DNS Server.
Yesterday I noticed one of the servers was having an issue with its remote desktop connection. If I try remoting into this machine, it connects to a black screen, sits there for 2-3 seconds and then promptly disconnects. No error message is given. I tried
this from a couple different Windows 7 machines, and got the same result. I tried from my wife's iMac, which runs Jump Desktop, and too was met with the same result.
I can, however, remote into this machine via RDP from my work-issued laptop, which is running Windows 8. However, I cannot remote into the problem machine via Remote Desktop Connection from one of the 2012 R2 servers--I am met with the same result as the
other machines: connect, black screen for 2-3 seconds, disconnect without error.
I can remote into all of the other 2012 R2 servers without issue from any machine, including the iMac. I am experiencing this problem on one server only.
Since it is a test server, I reinstalled Windows from scratch this morning. This meant formatting the SSD and wiping everything out. I reinstalled the drivers, joined the server back to the domain and installed all of the updates available from Windows Update.
And rebooted. And yet, the problem persists!
I tried troubleshooting the "usual suspects," like turning off Windows Firewall, disabling antivirus software (currently none installed), disabling IPv6, setting a static IP instead of using DHCP, etc. I did notice the network adapter said it was
on a Network, not a Domain Network. I corrected DNS settings, and the network reidentified itself as being on the ParietalBone.net network. And yet, the problem persists. Remote Desktop to this server still yields a black screen for 2-3 seconds, followed by
a disconnect--EXCEPT from the aforementioned Windows 8 machine.
I looked in the TerminalServices-LocalSessionManager log on the offending server, and there are no errors. I only see repeated entries that say "Session X has been disconnected, reason code 12," where X is 1 or 2. On a couple occasions, the reason
code is 11. But I don't see any errors indicating a breakdown in security negotiation.
Without any robust logs or debug details, I'm at a loss of where to look for a solution.

I am cautiously optimistic that this may have been resolved.
The network card in the computer was only a 10/100 built-in card, so I replaced it with a 1Gbps card. Interestingly, this did NOT resolve the issue. I ran netsh to check on the state of the chimney offload, but it was already disabled.
In the network card properties, I changed the link speed and duplex from automatic to 1Gbps full, re-ran "netsh int tcp set global chimney=disabled" and rebooted. The problem persisted.
And so I went to the network card properties and set IPv4 Checksum Offload, Large Send Offload (three of these -- IPv4, v2 IPv4 and v2IPv6) and TCP Checksum Offload (IPv4 and IPv6) to Disabled. Jumbo Frames were also disabled. I rebooted again.
After the subsequent reboot, I was able to connect to this Server from machines that previously gave me difficulty. The only machine I haven't been able to test today (I'm in the office) is my wife's iMac, which is at home. However, I was able to bring this
server up via Jump Desktop on my iPad, so I'm suspecting that perhaps one of the offload options was to blame. I'm not sure why this would allow me to connect from some machines but not others. And as noted above, I have many other machines running Server
2012 R2 and they are NOT experiencing this problem. And I've not done any tinkering with network settings on any of them, so their chimney and offload settings are all in the default configuration.
Regarding the other items -- NIC team, virtual machine, etc. -- there was no NIC team, no SRIOV and no RDMA involved.
I had to turn IPv6 off on this machine, and only on this machine, because having it enabled was causing a lot more problems. DNS registration would keep failing, it couldn't pull Group Policy, it couldn't get time sync with the DC, etc. The servers are all
set up with static IPv4 addresses. The router supports IPv6 but I'm not actually using it, so disabling IPv6 wasn't a concern to me.

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.
Narmin

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.

Taking control with Remote Desktop Services Manager from workstation console

When I run Remote Desktop from the console of my computer Windows 7 I get a message saying that if I run this tool from the console some options are disabled as Remote Control and Connect.
Is there any way to enable these possibilities from the console?
Thanks, VOR

Hi,
No, there is no way to enable them for use from the console. These features
require that you be within a Remote Desktop session in order to use them. For RDP 8.0/8.1 sessions the situation is different in that you can now perform a shadow (Remote Control) by launching mstsc.exe with
command line switches even from the console.

How can I get Apple Remote Desktop to disappear from my App Store updates list?

My Apple Remote Desktop software shows up in my App Store updates list. But I have already updated it to version 3.6.1 and it shows as "Installed". It is greyed out and will not go away. Any ideas on how to make it disappear is most appreciated.

All the suggestions I have read have not worked for me.
But you can try:
Running Software Update from the Apple Menu
Logging in to the Mac App Store with the account that purchased ARD
Deleting various Apple Store .plist files
NB I haven't tried removind ARD and reinstalling.

Accessing ASDM through MS Remote Desktop Services session based system

I am setting up a MS Remote Desktop Services system for a client. This is being configured as a jump server so everyone at the client will go through this system (aka jump server) to access systems via ssh, https, etc that are in a restricted part of the network. I am running into a problem getting ASDM to work. I can bring up the initial web page directly on the server via Internet Explorer, so that tells me I can get to the ASA. I have installed Java 1.7.10 as this is the recommended version on looking at the Java site for Windows 2012. When I try to install the dm_launcher, it says that Java isnt installed..
Has anyone been able to get this to work ?
Ron

I've used ASDM fine from an RDS platform. I used Java 7 update 45. How are you trying to install the launcher?

Remote desktop to mac from another mac

Hi
I have 24" inch intel iMac and a 15.4" MBP. I am wondering whether there is any way to control iMac from my MBP.
I am able to use Chicken VNC to control iMac. But it is painful to use. The iMac has 1980x1020 resolution whereas my MBP has 1400x900 I think. It keeps scrolling the screen. It was painful.
I am looking for something better. Something that is atleast as good as Microsoft remote desktop or Cord.
What are my options?
Apple Remote desktop: Is it free?
I appreciate your help.
Thanks

If you're going from Mac to Mac, you don't need to download anything.
On your source machine (the one you want to control), just go to Sys Prefs -> Sharing and tick "Screen Sharing".
Then on the target Mac (the one that you will be controlling from), you should be able to see it on your local network. When you connect to it, you should see an option in that window to go to Screen Sharing. Authenticate yourself as the user on the source machine, and you're in! The screen can automatically scale to put the whole of your source screen on your target screen.

Remote Desktop Settings missing from Remote Tab of System Settings

My Screen:
What it should be:
Good day, all. Please I need urgent help here. I have a problem using Remote Desktop.
My system is a 64-bit Windows 7 Ultimate with SP1 preinstalled.
Let me give us a synopsis of the problem.
Since the system was purchased, I have never had to remote into it. But I have used it to remote desktop to other PCs (that is, I have never used
it has a host, only as a client). However, last week I decided to set it up so that I can remotely connect to it. I went to the Remote Tab in System settings, and I discovered the bottom half was missing - only Remote Invitation settings were displayed.
I searched the web to try to solve the problem myself. I could only come up with 2 causes, generally:
If the system is Home Premium or below, which is certainly not the case here. It is the Ultimate version I have.
Some people complained that they had the exactly the same problem after installing SP1, and that when they uninstalled it, the Remote Desktop settings in Remote Tab of System settings came back.
However, I can't uninstall SP1 since it came preinstalled, and then that is not an option for me, given it contains several security fixes and updates.
Also some people said
the problem was solved be re-entering a correct product key for Windows, and re-activating Windows (+reboot).
I have tried this but did not get the required help.
My system is fully updated with all Microsoft patches till date, which means I have RDP 8.0 and RDP 8.1 client installed.
I have also tried
re-registering the dll: (regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\remotepg.dll),
to no avail.
I have checked the registry settings, Windows Firewall and made sure the remote desktop services are running in services.msc.
All these I have tried.
As I said, I have no problem connecting as a client to other systems. The issue is connecting to this system, by setting RDP here, but the settings
are missing.
Please, what is the solution? I don't want a clean install, or anything that would require to start re-updating the system.
I prefer a direct tackle of this error
(Definitely, a windows component is corrupted).
Thank you very much, and God bless.
P.S: I have read ALL the other threads that are similar to this, but NONE of them has SOLVED my problem.
So, please, please, do not delete my thread or mark it as answered until this problem has been solved, please.
I need a WORKING SOLUTION to this please.
Once again, thanks and God bless.

Hi,
Let’s uninstall the RDP 8.0 first, then check the result:
wusa.exe /uninstall /kb: 2592687
It would roll back to RDP 7.0.
Also, run SFC command:
Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files

Why does my wife loose audio from me after 20 min.

I have no problems connecting to my wife with her new iPad3 when I call her with my iPod4 but I just installed FaceTime on my MacBook Pro and once I connect with her she looses audio from me after 20 minutes into the call. If I call her back she does not get any audio. When I call her 2 days later with my MacBook again it works for about the first 20 minutes and she looses audio again. I love my wife and want to talk to her for more then 20 minutes every 2 days and do it on a larger screen then my iPod any help please?
Seems this is the place for answers as the only responce from Apple is try the forum we don't support our work just sell it and leave the suport up to the users.
Pretty lame eh? But I guess thats why your all here you found that out a while ago i bet.
Thanks

Batteries die, that is a fact of life if. Most batteries only last a year or two with heavy use. As you appear to use your battery a great deal, your battery will lose its life very quickly. Keep this in mind if you get a new battery (which I would recommend at this point) try not to use the battery bellow 15% charge as the battery loses the most life in the last 15% of the charge. Also, unless you really need to use the battery all the time, plug in. There is nothing wrong with using the battery for a few hours every day, but if you use it all the time, your cycle count will go up fast, and you'll go through batteries fast.
