Prohibit full remote desktop access and allow remoteapp

Hi all,
How to allow remoteapp only while prohibiting full remote desktop access except for some users?
Thanks

I am Microsoft Tech with Platforms Core  , I came across this thread rather recently. So as a Christmas surprise it can be achieved rather simply.Please follow following steps...
1. Please navigate to HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\TerminalServer\WinStations\RDP-TCP
2. Change the value of port to anything from 3389.
3. Also change it in remote app manager in RD Session Host server RDP Port to the port you have changed to in registry.
4.Please note it has to be done on all session hosts,redirectors  and Connection brokers.
5. Now your remote app continues to work , however RDP done sans the exact port number will not work.
Please feel free to contact me on this.
Simple sweet and logical resolution. Cheers..Happy holidays :-)

  • Remote Desktop Access with Mac and Asus Transformer Prime

    I have an E2000 router with the most current firmware. I have a Sony VAio laptop with Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit,a Macbook with 10.6.8, and a new Asus Transformer Prime with ICS.My work desktop is a Dell Optiplex 380 with Windows 7 Pro 32bit. I frequently work from home and have no issues remoting into to my work PC from by Sony laptop via VPN and RDP.However I have never been able to connect successfully to my work PC with my Macbook(using Remote Desktop Connection 2.1 for Mac OS) or Asus tablet(using WYSE Pocket Cloud RDP app for Android). I can however connect to the VPN itself on the Macbook and tablet without issue same as my Windows laptop. The other interesting part is I can connect via RDP when I am connected to a Mi-Fi 3g hotspot. So it is definitely something in the my Linksys E2000 blocking the connection for some reason. I have even set Port forwarding of 3389 with the ip's of both the Macbook and Asus tablet.I have also tried connecting via ethernet to the router with the same outcome. I cannot ping my work pc from either device as well.In addition the firewall on my work PC is completely disabled and all services related to Remote desktop access are enabled and running.Does anyone have any ideas?

    For my tablet its own ip assigned by the router. Same with the macbook.the Pocketcloud RDP app also uses 3389.I have port 3389 set for both internal and external port and protocol "both" under the Single Port Forwarding tab in the router config.

  • Questions regarding Outlook Web App, Remote Desktop, Remote Web Access and VPN Access

    Hi there,
    I want to ask a series of questions regarding Outlook Web App, Remote Desktop, Remote Web Access and VPN access and was hoping whether you could help me. Below are my questions to ask you.
    Outlook Web App - What do I need to configure in order to get my Exchange account to work with the OWA app on my iPhone? Is Office 360 required on the server that hosts Outlook Web App in our organisation? When I configure the settings and
    connect I get the following message "couldn't connect -  We couldn't connect to the server. Check your information and make sure it's correct." I can connect with other devices using Outlook Web App.
    Remote Desktop - What do I need to configure in order to connect to my computer at work using Remote Desktop on my Windows Phone? When I configure the settings and connect I get the following message "Connection error - We couldn't connect
    to the remote PC. Make sure the PC is turned on and connected to the network, and that remote access is enabled. Inquiring minds may find this error code helpful: 0x204" I can connect with other devices using Remote Desktop. There are currently no
    RD Server settings in the Remote Desktop app on the Windows Phone and the only way I'm to connect to my PC at work is via Remote Desktop and not to be confused with the one by Microsoft, however the app is on a trial basis and times out every 5 minutes and
    can only be used once every hour unless I purchased the app for £2.99 off the App Store but would ideally like to use the Microsoft Remote Desktop app though.
    Remote Web Access - What do I need to configure in order to get Remote Web Access on my Windows Phone using a URL? When I log in using a URL I get the following message "There is a problem with this Web page. Please contact the person who manages
    the server" I can connect with other devices using Remote Web Access. Also how do you enable the background option for Remote Web Access? I know how to do this in Remote Desktop but not in Remote Web Access. Remote Web Access works on PCs regardless
    being onsite and offsite and on my iPhone, the same issue also occurs with my Nokia 5230s regardless of whether I'm using Opera Mobile or Mini or the latest Nokia Browser.
    VPN access - How do you configure VPN access on a Windows Phone using VPN? I cannot find the protocols PPTP, L2TP, SSTP and IPsec in order to configure VPN access on the Windows Phone apart from IKEv2.
    Many thanks,
    RocknRollTim

    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Kind regards,

  • Enabling remote desktop access to a simple windows 2012 datacenter edition server

    Hi,
    I am a complete noob to server administration. I installed a windows 2012 server initially as a workgroup. All i need is to enable a user to remotely access my server(using remote desktop). The firewall that I use is Gibraltar.
    I read that to enable remote desktop services my server has to be part of a domain. So i promoted my server to a domain name controller. Using active directoty I added a user to the domain. I also read that to make remote desktop more secure, I have to request
    the user to login through a VPN. 
    Now here is where I am completely lost. Do i really need to move my server to a domain, if the user just wants access to this server and nothing else? Should i restrict remote desktop access only through VPN
    and if so, how can i do that? Further, the server dashboard gives me notifications about 'remote desktop licensing' not configured. We got the software as a campus licensing and I am not sure how to configure the remote license server. Any opinions are highly
    appreciated.

    If you're just trying to setup this to allow administration access then I don't believe you need it to be a member of a domain. There's a difference between allowing remote desktop access for administration, and setting up full terminal services access for
    multiple users. The latter requires a lot more work and licensing unlike the former.
    To simply allow admin access, open an explorer window and right click on Computer, then select properties. In the System window that appears, click Remote settings on the left. Now in the bottom half of the window select "Allow remote connections to this
    computer" and leave the option requiring NLA in place. Click Select Users..., you'll see that the administrator user already has permissions to connect, so if you're only planning to connect with that then you're finished, otherwise find those users you
    want to grant access.

  • Remote Desktop won't allow me to observe computers

    The title basically says it: Remote Desktop will not allow me to see some of the computers on the network, for whatever reason. I have more than five computer labs, and the majority of the computers are completely accessible. However, for a select few, when I try to "Observe" or "Control" a message comes up saying, "Connecting to '(computer name)'," and it will never be able to connect: "Connection failed to '(computer name)'."
    I have tried upgrading the client and both computers (this and the client) have every apple update so far.
    It seems that even though I cannot control or observe them, I can still use Remote Desktop to install things, however.
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    The problem is, they are all connected to the same subnet, and they're all attached to the same switch and router; the controlling computer is also on the same subnet. The exact situation is we have a lab full of old eMacs (read: 700 MHz PowerPCs, less than 500 GB of ram) running Tiger 10.4.11. There are 24 of them; 6-24 all work properly, but 1-5 don't. I can still update them using Remote Desktop, but I can't "control" them.
    I thought it could have been an issue with the switch (as in, things plugged into the wrong sockets, or even the wrong switch), but everything was in order. To make it worse, in another lab, this one with 12 computers, it's 1, 2, 5, 7, and 12 that are having the problem. Earlier, when I was working on a teacher's laptop, I couldn't get it to work on that, either. And I have tried running Remote Desktop from two different computers, and the same computers have the same problems on each.
    I hope that didn't muddy the waters too badly.
    Thank you for your response, in any rate.

  • Remote Desktop Gateway and WebAccess Deployment - Multiple Logon Prompts

    I'm having a few issues with some multiple logon prompts using "Connect to a remote PC" via RD Web Access.
    I am able to log onto the RDWeb without a problem.
    Essentially once I make a connection to my end-device I first receive a logon prompt, I'm authenticated, then I'm asked again for another logon prompt. Any ideas how to resolve this?
    My layout is simple:
    1 VM in the DMZ that has the Remote Desktop Gateway and Remote Desktop Web Access roles installed. No connection broker, or session host.
    With my deployment I have a wildcard certificate bound to the Remote Desktop Gateway and it is bound properly in IIS. Remote Desktop functionality through the RDGateway works just fine. However, the only nuisance is that I get prompted multiple times for
    credentials when accessing the end-device regardless if my connection is from a domain-joined machine or a non-domain joined machine.
    I've tried using Web Single Sign On via http://anandthearchitect.com/2014/01/20/rds-2012-r2single-sign-on-using-windows-authentication-for-rdweb-page/ and it still does not work.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Dan

    Hi Dan,
    How many prompts are you seeing?  Expected behavior for Connect to a remote PC would be this:
    1. Log on to RDWeb
    2. Select Connect to a remote PC tab
    3. Enter server name in Connect to box, click Connect
    4. Unknown publisher warning, click Connect
    5. Credentials prompt, it should say These credentials will be used to connect to the following computers: 1. rdgw.domain.com (RD Gateway server) 2. remote.domain.com (remote computer)
    6. After entering credentials and clicking OK it should log you in to the remote computer.  This assumes that the destination is authenticated properly (usually via certificate) and the credentials are valid for both the RDG and the remote
    computer.  Normally in a domain environment the same credentials (domain\username) would be valid for the RDG and the remote server.

  • Remote Desktop - Pinch and Zoom compatibility with Microsoft Access

    Hi guys, not sure which forum to place this into but here we go.
    We use Windows 8.1 tablets and RDP to a 2012 R2 Remote Desktop Server, we can pinch and zoom with Office 2007 Excel, Word without issues.
    I would like to know if there is a list of programs that's compatible with pinch and zoom because it looks to me like Microsoft Access (2007 version) isn't compatible with pinch and zoom but I need proof for my IT manager.
    Can you tell me if I should be able to pinch and zoom a database windows within MS Access?

    Hi,
    As per my research there is no such description whether which program compatible with pinch and zoom but still as this seems more relate to tablet question. You can ask your comment over there for more perfect answering.

  • IOS Remote Desktop app and computers connected to SBS 2008--can't get it to work

    I can connect directly to the server without a remote resource in the IOS app.
    But I'd like to be able to connect to computers in the office like we can through RWW. RWW works fine, but not from my phone. (Yes I can connect to the server and take over computers from the phone but I don't want other people in the office to log
    into the server first!).
    I can never get the remote resources section in the app to connect. I usually get "Unable to locate any remote resources for the URL". error in the resources section. I've tried a simple "https://remote.domain.com", "https://remote.domain.com:987",
    etc.  
    We have a self-signed certificate. I can't think of anything in the server setup that is anything other than normal.
    I can do direct connect using "Remote Desktop Connection" in windows 7. In the remote desktop server settings I just put remote.domain.com and "Ask for password (NTLM)" for the login method. Then on the general tab I have just the
    simple computer name and the domain\username. That's all I had to setup to get that to work.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi Michael,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
    Have you setup RD Gateway server in your environment? Are you trying to access the RWW through it?
    On server side you can choose “Bypass RD Gateway server for local addresses” under RemoteApp manager and check the result.
    For more information, you can check below links for detail.

  • I am having trouble installing and using remote desktop client and admin on the same imac.  I need help?

    Can you give me a step by step on getting the client and the admin part of remote desktop to work?  I am new to this and I need for remote desktop to work to install the Faronics Deepfreeze enterprise console on the new imac in office.  The OSx version is 10.8.3  Any help will be greatly appreciated.  Also, when I go to install the admin, it says that the remote desktop client is not updated and I cant get mac app store to show any updates.  May be doing something wrong.

    This is what I usualy do to setup ARDclient on a client computer.
    on the client computer
    go to menu bar (white bar at top of the screen)
    click on the apple menu
    chose system preferences
    click show all button
    click Users & Groups
    click the lock to unlock
    click + to create a new account
    chose new account: type "administrator"
    name the user some thing applicable like "ARDuser"
    set a secure password
    click create account
    click show all button
    click sharing
    set the computer name to some thing descritpive that identifies the computer
    check remote login
    click on remote login
    set allow access for: "only these users"
    click the +
    chose the ARDuser from the list
    click select
    check remote management
    click on remote management
    set allow access to "only these users"
    click the +
    select the ARDuser from the list
    click select
    check: observe, control, genereate reports, open & quite applications, delete and replace items, start text chat or send messages, restart & shutdown, copy items
    click ok
    click the lock to lock system preferences
    click show all
    quite system preferences
    At this point you should be able to connect to the client using Apple Remote Desktop using the ARDuser setup above. Make sure the client and the ARD computer are on the same network the same way. IE both on ethernet or both on wifi. On the same internet conenction, if your were trying to conenct to a client over the internet there is more involved. 
    on the ard computer:
    open apple remote desktop
    from the left column select discover
    make sure the list is set to bonjour
    the client computer should show up on the list, with the name set above
    select the client from the list
    click control
    you will be prompted for the user/pass to log into the computer. that's the ARDuser setup in the steps above.

  • Remote Desktop/Access shared files over PPTP VPN

    Hello,
    I just bought the RV180W so I can connect to my office computer from anywhere as a VPN client. The two things I need to do while I am connected as a VPN client is to be able to access my files on my office desktop and be able to remote desktop to it as well. I have Win7 on all of my computers. Ideally, I would like to do that over PPTP VPN connection but if that is not possible I can try Cisco QuickVPN software.
    I enabled PPTP on my router and created a user account. I was also able to successfully establish the connection remotely. While I was connected as a PPTP VPN client, I was able to access the Internet and my router setup page which is telling me that the connection is good. However, I was not able to either discover my office PC under my network tab in Win7 nor I was able to remote desktop. I keep my office PC on all the time and it never go to sleep. I did not create any connection policy but maybe this is the problem. Please let me know if you know of a solution.
    Thanks!

    Hi David,
    Thank you for the response.
    I was able to access the router configuration using the local IP address (in my case 192.168.1.1). I don't think I would have been able to access it using the public IP address since I have the router remote management feature disabled.
    Now after reading your email, I was finally able to remote desktop and access shared files through a PPTP VPN connection. Here is what I did:
    1- I separted the PPTP VPN IP address range from my DHCP range (in my case, PPTP VPN range is 192.168.1.200 to 210 and my DHCP range is from 192.168.1.100 to 199)
    2- I assigned my office desktop PC that I am trying to remote desktop to a fixed IP address (192.168.1.20)
    3- For remote desktop, I had to type the IP address (192.168.1.20). Typing the PC name (officepc) or searching for was not working.
    4- For shared files, I had to map a network drive as //192.168.1.20/My Pictures for example. I couldn't find my PC when searched for it under Network.
    After doing all that, I was able to do kinda what I wanted. Ideally, I would have liked to avoid using fixed IP addresses and be able to access computers by their name and see them under the Network tab. Is their a way to do this? I noticed that RV220W offers SSL VPN, would that help me?
    I would appreciate it if you could answer my last two questions.
    Thanks!

  • [Solved] remote desktop session and 3d

    Very sorry if this was discussed previously or if this questions have been asked, but I'm struggling a bit to figure thisout. And I've googled, experimented for days and still couldn't get it right.
    So my requirement is very simple. I want to develop QML/QT5 applications over a remote desktop session in Linux. QML makes use of hardware 3d acceleration.
    I first had a gnome 3.8 I tried set up so that I could work with it remotely. But simple things like opening the "Activities" over VNC would crash Gnome. I tried KDE to no avail and now I'm on xfce, which doesn't use any of the 3D accelerated eye candy so VNC works fine.
    However any opengl application I try to run (like QML examples) doesn't work.
    I've read about tigervnc and virtualgl, and it didn't work too well. On top of that I would have a hard time having to run the application manually and attach the debugger later to it, it would be to bureaucratic.
    Apparently nomachines are eventually gonna come up with nx 4 which will have support to run on top of Gnome 3.8 for example, so I'm hopeful it'll just work with any other "opengl application".
    I also tried splashtop, with is ok however i'm stuck with 1024x768 resolutions and this annoying blue flickering of the screen.
    Is there any remote desktop alternative out there which enables me to successfully run simple opengl applications? I'm not talking games or anything, but simple applications with shades, glows, etc?

    So yeah, your post made me try to compose a response which then I identified I had totally misunderstood the concept of virtualgl. Now I do understand it somewhat and I had been able to set everything up properly. Tada! it works.
    I'm using tigervnc + virtualgl, and I can start qtcreator with vglrun, then every process that qtcreator spawns will have 3d support through my vnc connection, which is exactly what I needed.
    I did notice that when I had slim setup, virtualgl didn't work. Only when I switched to gdm it did work.
    I wonder if I should start writing a wiki page about virtualgl, however my writing abilities suck and I'm not sure if it would create more confusion than help others...

  • Remote Desktop Connection and printing issues

    Hi, 
    I am using Windows 7 on my desktop and also connected to Windows Server 2008 R2 to run applications in Windows Server. However, I noted there is problem with the printer issues. Sometimes, when I tried to print some documents using applications
    in Windows Server with my local printer in my room connected to desktop, it won't work.
    Moreover, I need to go to Windows Server, Component Service to restart printer spooler so it will work again. This is a pain. 
    I also noticed there is about 30 seconds wait to process any document to print.
    Unlike if I print documents directly from my local desktop computer running Windows 7 and connected to local printer, it only takes seconds to print.
    My desktop is connected to Windows Server 2008 via local area network. I should not expect such a significant delay in printing. 
    I also wonder why printer spooler needs to be restarted when printer is not working.
    Can anyone advise me about this? Can Microsoft looks into this problem and release updates to fix the bug to improve the system?
    Thanks
    Regards,
    Clement

    Hi,
    Please check if you turn on this settings:
    You need to set this up just before you connect. The setting will be saved so that you won't need to change it the next time you connect.
    1. Open Remote Desktop Connection by clicking the Start button, clicking
    All Programs, clicking Accessories, and then clicking
    Remote Desktop Connection.
    2.Click Options, and then click the Local Resources
    tab.
    3.Under Local devices and resources, select the Printers check box.
    4.Click Connect to start the session.
    Make sure that you select your printer in the Print dialog box each time you print.
