RDP into a windows environment

I am beginning to lose the will to live with my Macbook. Don't get me wrong, I love it, I just run into trouble everytime I try to work within a Windows environment, even for simple stuff such as email and RDP.
Here is the latest comment from the latest company I am trying to work with... Looks like it might be OK, but not without extra effort and cost once again...
The “logging on to external terminal server” works if you connect from a Windows machine but doesn’t connect from Macs. The default connector on a Mac isn’t compatible with the technology we use so we’re just testing out an app called iTap RDP which looks to do what we need it to. There’s some security stuff we need to get done on our side to allow this to work fully though which I hope to get done by tomorrow.
Doe's anyone have some advice on how to make a Mac RDP into a windows environment hassle free.
How about installing windows and something like VM Ware. Just that it's as expensive as buying a laptop, heaven forbid!!

Query networking into hostile windows environment

I have been getting kernel panics on shutdown of my new Imac 24 since i got it out of the box.
Additionally I have had a disintegrating experience with Airport.
At first was working fine and i could connect to net etc.
Then problems connectng, etc.
To the point where i cannot even see the hardware in system profile anymore.
The crash reports after the KPs implicate the Airport kexts.
I did a archive and install - no love.
I used pacifist and extracted and installed airport drivers etc. Restarted.
Voila I could see Airport ... yay. shutdown - no KP. Yay.
Restart, no Airport, and KPs again.
My theory
I am in an area thick with wireless networks.
Something i did trying to connect to something has corrupted and continues to corrupt my Airport drivers every startup.
Is this a possibility?
I am fine using the ethernet into the network.
I am contemplating taking the machine back to apple when i have finished the job i am doing here.
regards
P

Strangest thing!
2 months after this problem occurring everyday
to the point where I dont even think about it
I noticed that the crash reports were no longer appearing at startup
and the hard shutdown was no longer required
and voila the airport card is visible again
IT HAS FIXED ITSELF
I have no idea how this could be
the machine has not been online, I had stopped doing diagnostic/repair attempts some weeks ago.
could repeated startups work their way through the OS and eventually repair the code?
I do think it is still the hardware behaving erratically
any thoughts

How to integrate Mac into a Windows environment?

My wife recently signed up as a volunteer in a non-profit. She would like to use her MacBook Pro to access email on the organization's local network using Mail.app, rather than buying the Office Suite just to get Outlook. Is that even possible? If so, any suggestions how or where to get more information?

Cant seem to RDP into Windows computer over VPN

Hi All,
I just installed KVpnc and imported a cisco profile (.pcf file) so I can connect to my office network. This worked great and I'm able to connect successfully. The problem I have is I need to RDP into my work machine (running Windows XP) but this doesnt seem to be working.
I installed 'pacman -S rdesktop) and from the command line when using the following command it just sits there with 'Autoselected keyboard map en-us'
[root@arch ~]# rdesktop myxpcomputer.company.com
Autoselected keyboard map en-us
I tried pinging the machine but that doesnt return ANY lines. Any ideas?
thanks
Hardeep

I don't believe there's a wikipage for it. I'll describe what I can remember from getting this set up originally here; if it turns out to be useful, perhaps I will wiki it up.
Run pcf2vpnc on your .pcf file; I saved the result to /etc/vpnc/mywork.conf
% pcf2vpnc mywork.pcf mywork.conf
At this point, you can test by:
% sudo /usr/sbin/vpnc /etc/vpnc/mywork.conf
Depending on how the VPN is configured, this should re-write your resolv.conf with the correct info for DNS lookups, and you should have a new interface (tun0 in the below):
[2011-01-20 13:41:35 alfheim:/etc/vpnc]
1083 vpnc % ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:22:68:3E:92:76
inet addr:192.168.1.3 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

If you can verify that the new interface is created and that some meaningful change has been made to resolv.conf (it isn't pointing to your router or whatever it usually does for the nameserver), then check route to see if tun0 is setup as your default route.
That should be the basic steps to getting it setup; however, in this setup note that all your traffic will flow over the VPN. Once you can confirm whether the above works or not, I can describe my setup in more detail if you'd like to "separate" your traffic between the VPN (tun0) and your usual network (eth0 interface).

Windows 8.1 RDP Issues with Windows Server 2008 Standard.

I have an issue maintaining an RDP connection from 64-bit windows 8.1 (standard and pro) to 32-bit Windows Server 2008 Standard. Initial connection is normal, and as long as I am constantly typing on the link, for the most part it stays up. However
if I do not keep typing, or go to another desktop program for a few minutes, and then go back, the following happens:
If I am typing into notepad (or some screen that does not require windows to be refreshed) I can continue to do so, so the connection has not been lost, however if I try to do something that requires more extensive exchange of information (like file
- open, or even trying to pull up the start menu), the connection pauses with about half the screen refreshed, sometimes after about 30 seconds a bit more of the screen fills out, but otherwise the connection is not responsive. Then after about 2 minutes,
RDP reconnects, at which point I am back to "normal". I have conducted some tests and made inquiries of others attempting to connect to the server.
1) I can connect to other Windows (servers 2008 R2 and 2012) with no connection issues from this PC
2) I can connect to the 32-bit server with no issues using Windows Vista Ultimate and Windows 7 from the same location as the WIndows 8.1 PC
3) When I do a network speed test while having these issues I see full download and upload speeds, so I am not experiencing intermittent internet issues.
4) No-one else from other locations (not of course using Windows 8.1) has any issues using RDP to the 32-bit Windows Server Standard.
These various tests seem to eliminate my network connection, and other operating systems, from the equation, and point to RDP issues on windows 8.1 connecting to the older OS. I noticed in the September updates, a case 2989039 which seemed to point
to similar issues when using UDP through Remote Desktop Gateway. That update is on my machine, and my connection has the setting Automatically detect RD Access Gateway server settings.
Any thoughts anyone?

Hi RonaldRenaud,
If my understanding is right, this RDP issue only occur in the connection between Windows 8.1 and Server 2008.
Please check if you have installed the update kb2984006.
To resolve this issue caused by update 2989039, install update rollup 2984006. For more information, please refer to the following KB.

How to use windows environment variable "%appdata%" in TEXT_IO built-in

Hello Sir/Madam,
I'm currently using TEXT_IO built-in package to write data file user's "C" drive in Oracle Forms 6i on Windows XP OS. We are in the process of upgrading the OS to Windows7. This new version does not allow to write to "C" or "D" drive. I was wondering how I can use windows environment variable "%appdata%" in this built-in to write the data file to user's AppData folder?
I would appreciate your help.
Regards,
Vani Sonti

You are obviously not familiar with the architecture of webforms. See here http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/forms/275632-133265.pdf
I guess you are running your forms locally, so the forms server and the client run on the very same machine. This won't be the case once you run in production, as you will have an application server and clients connecting to the server.
text_io, tool_env and all the forms built ins will be executed on the machine the forms runtime runs on, and in a 3 tier architecture this is the application server, not the client as the real client will run just a java applet which actually just does what the forms runtime on the server tells it to do (or passes client side events like mouse clicks to the forms runtime on the server).
A very simple explanation for the architecture would be that the whole GUI part has been ripped off the forms runtime and put into a java applet; the logic part (the old-fashioned forms runtime) where the whole Forms PL/SQL code is executed communicates with the GUI part (which is implemented as a java applet) via HTTP, so there is no need to have both running on the very same machine.
So if you are writing a file with text_io on c:\dummy.txt this file will be generated on the application server machine as it is executed where the forms runtime runs. If you read environment variables with tool_env.getvar you will get the environment variable from the application server machine.
If you need those variables from your application server then those built-in packages are what you need, but if you need the real client variables there is no way around java in webforms 6i. But the beans should be simple enough to have them written within no time ;)
cheers

T410 thin client RDP Client Error Windows XP SP3 issue

I've switched out the VMs they were connecting to completely and we're still running into this issue. The next step is switching out the thin clients themselves. Bump if anyone's run into this issue before.

I'm having an issue with 2 of my HP Smart Zero t410 thin clients. They each RDP into an XP SP3 virtual machine hosted on a virtual server running VWWare ESXi 5.0.0. Randomly in the morning they'll both disconnect from their virtual machines. Sometimes at the same time, sometimes not. I'm monitoring both the thin clients and the virtual machines with software that pings everything 30 seconds, nothing ever drops a ping. I've tested the wire, the wire is good. I've made sure the thin clients are up to date with the latest firmware. The last thing I've tried is replacing the switch both of these machines are connection. One thin client comes up with an error message "RDP Client Error: Reboot Necessary" then below "The firmware has experienced a critical error. Please reboot this client." After I close the error I can RDP back in. The other thin client also gives an "RDP Client Error" and down below mentions MANTICORE but I did not write down the entire error message. I have 30 other t410's deployed at various locations, all connected via RDP to a Windows Server 2008 R2 terminal with no issue for over a year. These last two have maybe in for three weeks and have continuously thrown this error randomly. Any help is appreciated.

2. Go to the command line.
3. Type something like java myClass or java -jar myJar.jar.
You could also use one of the many java2exe (java to executable) programs floating out there.

Query regarding database access segregation using os authentication in windows environment

Hi ,
I have a query regarding database access segragation using os authentication (like sqlplus "/ as sysdba") in windows environment.Let me briefly explain my requirement:-
Suppose you have two DBA`s viz DBA1 and DBA2 and 4 databases resideds in a windows server say A,B,C & D.Now I want to set up such a way if DBA1 logs into the server then he can login to database A and B only using OS authentication and DBA2 can login to database C and D only using OS authentication.
Please let me know how to do setup for this requirement.
Database version is 11.2.0.3

1494629, I am not a Windows person but if there is any way to do this I suspect some additional information is necessary:
Are the DBA users members of the Administrators Group ?
Do all 4 database share the same $ORACLE_HOME ?
I suspect if either answer above is yes then this is not possible, but like I said I am not a Windows person. I would just ask for two servers and the associated licensing to be acquired. The requirement to spend money to do something management wants usually elimanates the request in my world.

Hey any one please give me steps to follow, for magrating DI 11.5.1.2.0 of windows environment to DI 11.7.2.0 fo Linux environment.
Very Thank full to you all.. in Advance

Hi Simon;
I Have looked throught these notes but I still cant see a definitive answer to whether the new Windows server will require a fresh 11.5.10 install before I can clone my existing system?No its not. If You follow below note you will see it doesnt mention something like you ask
Cloning Oracle Applications Release 11i with Rapid Clone [ID 230672.1]
Your steps should be like:
1. Section 1: Prerequisites apply related patch your source (Dont forget Check Appendix A: Install JRE 1.3.1 into RDBMS ORACLE_HOME)
2. Section 2: Run preclone on source
3. Copy file from source to target
4. run postclone
5.restart machine
if not how is the registery values and services created?Rapidclone handle it

Is there any way to get windows environment variables like %USERNAME% with javascript?

is there any way to get windows environment variables like %USERNAME% with javascript using Adobe 10 pro?

There is a fair amount of Acrobat JavaScript and Acrobat knowledge need to sort all of this out.
The identity object holds a lot of sedative information. First, upon installation of Acrobat, only the login name is available in the identity object and the end user of the application needs to complete the "Name", "email" and "Organization Name" in the application's preferences. These are the only fields that are available to Acrobat JavaScript identity object as corporation, email, loginName, and name.
Using the instructions in The Acrobat JavaScript Console (Your best friend for developing Acrobat JavaScript) you can run the following script in the JS console to see the items of the identity object:
for(i in identity) {
console.println(i +": " + identity[i]);
and the following will appear in the console:
loginName: georgeK
name: George Kaiser
corporation: Example
email: [email protected]
true
The documentation states you need to use a trusted function to access this data, but you can access it at startup of Acrobat/Reader and add the properties of the identity object to an array:
// application variable to hold the properties of the identity object
var MyIdentity = new Array();
// loop through the properties of the identity object
for (i in identity) {
// place each property of the identity object into an element of the same name in the Identity array
MyIdentity[i] = identity[i];
console.println(i +": " + MyIdentity[i])
You access the items with:
var loginUser = MyIdentity[loginName]; // get the loginName property
In the user application level JavaScript file. See Acrobat Help / User JavaScript Changes for 10.1.1 (Acrobat | Reader) for the location of the application level folder you need to use.
I would change the name of the array used in this post so an untrusted user cannot get to your data. Some of this data can be used in hacking into a user's system.

Installed 2013 into a 2007 environment, cleanly removed 2013 now trying to install 2010

So first, before you flame me, this is in QA!
We installed 2013 into a 2007 environment, then due to shifting business demand, cleanly removed 2013. Now we are trying to install 2010 CAS servers and it goes in fine, reports no errors, but I do not have 'server configuration' on the left pane of
EMC, but I can run any related EMS cmdlet (so not permissions). On the org health page all the info is listed as 'unavailable'. I'm thinking something is left over in AD's config container, but I can't find it. Help?

Hi,
From your description, it seems to be the obsolete information is cached in an EMC file in the Windows profile with whom user has logged into the server. I recommend you follow the steps below for troubleshooting:
1. Go to the following location and delete the Exchange Management Console file. (Note: Before deleting it, please do a backup.)
C:\users\<specific user>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\MMC\Exchange Management Console
2. Close EMC and Reopen it.
Hope it helps.

Windows Environment Variables

Is Coldfusion able to grab the Windows Environment variables
of the user that is viewing a CF page? I am wondering about reading
the windows username currently logged in on the client machine. I
don't think this is the same as CGI variables.

We are running a Novell network. The IIS machine has the
Novell client installed. If the user has not personally logged into
the IIS machine, it will not authenticate them through the CF page.
It worked great if the user already had a profile on Windows. Is
there a way around this besides having users log into the machine,
which really isn't an option?
Suppose I am Average Joe User viewing the site. My own
computer is running the Novell client and I have logged into this,
so therefore windows has a profile for me, and my username is
stored in the Username Environment variable (which is viewable by
typing 'set' in the command prompt). Can CF grab that username
Environment variable off my computer and use it at all? Or is it
all based on the username on the IIS server?
