Remote Desktop 3.6 fails to save sorting in client list view (on osx10.8)

Hi there,
i have sorted my controlled clients in the "all computers" section via the labels column to group them together by color.
this worked fine in older version of ard. now after upgrading from 3.5 the colors of the computers are preserved, but the column "labels" is disappearing after each restart of ard. and so the entries are always sorted alphabetically by name. I have noticed that the sorting does revert to that "standard" state
whatever the changes I make are. So I assume that ard fails to save the layout in com.apple.RemoteDesktop.plist. I have also removed com.apple.RemoteDesktop.plist from my preference folder to let it regenerate from ard, but the problem stays the same.
Has anyone filed a bugreport abut that behavior jet?
Tanks,
Ben

Hello!
Same problem here for me:
Some ARD clients behind a vpn-tunnel.
ARD admin cpmputer running 10.9.1 and ARD 3.7.1
There is no problem with clients running 10.6.8, 10.7.5 and 10.8.5 with ARD client 3.5.4, 3.7 and 3.7.1
But clients with 10.9.* and ARD client 3.7.* is it impossible to do remote control. It does not matter which color/quality mode i select. The mouse movement is extremly sluggish and lagging - it takes a few seconds until the mouse settles down - I need about 10 seconds to close a window.
Once again all clients are controlled via the same vpn tunnel from the same ARD admin-computer.
Apple has to fix it ASAP. We rely on reliable software products.
Bye,
Christoph

  • Remote desktop administrator software failed to start

    I just upgraded to the new ARD client and now I cannot start Remote Desktop Administrator. It says "The Remote Desktop Administrator software failed to start due to an unexpected error. The remote desktop software may not be installed correctly or the computer may require a restart."
    Again, this happened after I install the ARD client update just released by Apple on my MBP 10.5.8.
    I need to get ARD Administrator back up and running. How?

    This is the most feedback I've ever gotten to any post.
    After much trial and error here is the solution I came up with:
    1. follow the instructions in the following link. Most importantly, make sure you follow the instructions on removing the 10.2 clients. I know that's not what we're dealing with here but it is necessary:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2577?viewlocale=en_US
    2. Put the remote desktop Admin app in the trash and empty the trash.
    3. Download and install the ARD 3.2.2 client via the following link:
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/application_updates/appleremotedeskt op322client.html
    4. Reinstall the remote desktop administrative software in the Applications directory. (Actually, what I did was zip the ARD admin app, then trashed the non-zipped app and emptied the trash, then unzipped my zipped ARD Admin app and made sure the app was in the Applications directory. Didn't need to mess with the CD this way.)
    5. Download and install the ARD Admin 3.3 update. It should now recognize that ARD Admin is installed on the computer and update it.
    6. Try to launch the Admin app. It should work now.
    I believe these are all the steps. After this I ran software update and it said I had no software to update. It looks as though the ARD Admin updater also updates the client software.

  • The Remote Desktop administrator software failed to start due to an unexpected error...

    Hi all...
    Suddenly, I'm getting this error message when I try to open ARD. It was working a week ago and I'm not aware of changing anything. Any advice?
    This is the 3.6.1 version of the ARD admin and I have the 3.6.2 Client installed (that was the way it was before, too, when it was working).
    Note: I did try a fix from the forums that was posted in 2009, which required deleting the ARDAgent from the RemoteManagement folder in System/Core Services... and then reinstalling again using the Apple ARD Admin download for same. It worked for one run of the program, then the error came back.
    What do you guys think?

    Hmphf.
    You may have to reinstall the Remote Desktop SW. See if that helps.
    I don't think it's a coincidence that this update "fixed" the Remote Desktop SUID warning, and it also removed the potential update from my computer which I had placed on "Ignore" since I did not need it and did not need the warning, either. So there is a connection between this update and the Remote Desktop SW.

  • Remote Desktop Virtualization Host failed to get redirection authentication information from the virtual machine

    Hello,
    When implementing a VDI solution, I'm getting an error on our virtualization host server.  The error is:

  • Remote Desktop - The Remote Desktop administrator software does not match the installed client software version.

    Hi,
      I just upgraded to Mavricks and get this when I try to launch Remote Desktop:

    I tried removing the application and reinstalling it to no avail.  Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

  • Apple Remote Desktop - Users constantly appear and disappear in All Computers List

    I have a problem and I am thinking it is probably some kind of broadcast error on my network, but why not question Apple Remote Desktop in the process? Computers seem to flicker from available to unavailable. I think they are actually on. If I send a task out while it shows availbe it does complete even though it flickers on and off throughout the package install. However it will not let me send out installs when it say unavailable (as expected). If I am lucky I can catch the systems when they show available and the installs work. I have deleted preferences and re-installed ARD. I am using 3.7
    Personally I think it is my switches and Bonjour. Does anyone else have this issue and a work around?

    Hey Madoser,
    I had the same problem. I administrate around 30 macs, which I undrestand isn't much.....I was having issues with ard after updating to mavericks. I decided to do a complete erase and reinstall on my machine. This was't because of ard, mind you. I was having all kinds of problems. Nothing unexpected as far as I'm concerned but after doing things, my ard problems went away. It's only been a day, but everything is working like a dream.
    I'll make sure

  • Customise columns in Open/Save dialog when in List View

    When opening or saving a file from an application while in list view, there is no "Date Modified" column that you could click to sort by. It seems to be gone and there is no way to configure the columns in this dialog. How to add or delete columns in the list view of open/save dialog?
    I seem to be able to change columns in Finder, but not in Open/Save file dialog.

    No. Column view will only sort by name. If you wanted to put a space before each folder name, then they will sort to the top. Sorting by Kind will put folders above files, but it will also put anything else except files at the top. If there are only folders, however, that would put them first in the sort list.

  • Apple Remote Desktop Errors on Application Startup.

    I'm having an issue with Apple Remote Desktop 3.2.1 on OSX 10.6.8  basicly the software installes correctly to all defaults.  But when i go to start the Application I get an error "The Remote Desktop Administrator Software Failed to start due to and unexpected error.  The remote Desktop Software may not be installed correclty or the computer may reguire a restart."  Ok some background info on the issue.   I restarted the mac (start with the easy stuff first right)  this did not fix the issue.  I then reinstalled the application.  This did not fix the issue. 
    So know I'm here looking for more options.

    Don't worry. you can get it working NOW!!!
    Apparently you can get the current version of ARD up and running on MacBooks. For more details see this post: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=405454&tstart=60
    To save you the trouble of reading all the replies, here is a quote from "gmsmith" which seems to be the solution:
    1. Delete or move the folder /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement - you'll need to be root to do this.
    2. Launch Remote Desktop Admin. It ran through a quick install process and re-created the /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement folder. The admin then closed on my machine.
    3. Re-open the ARD admin, and it should work.
    Note: he refers to the fact that you need to be "root to do this." If you do not know what this means, look in apple support for articles on "root user" or "authenticating as root". I haven't done the search myself, but it should be easy to find. Or just post a topic asking how to "log in to your mac as the root user". Basically, the "root user" has god like privileges to delete files on your mac, and is actually a higher level user than admin accounts set up when you first configed your mac

  • Windows Server 2012 Standard - Remote Desktop Management service won't start

    Dear colleges, I'm seeking your help in resolving a weird issue with Remote Desktop.
    The Remote Desktop Management service gives the following error message any  time it is attempted to start:
    "The Remote Management Service on Local Computer started and then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services or programs."
    The Event Viewer error message is as follows:
    "The Remote Desktop Management service failed to start. Error code: 0x88250001"
    Whenever I connect to the server with RD I get error message that the Remote Desktop Licensing Server isn't configured and that the RD trill will expire in N-days. The server is up to date updates wise and has been licensed for 5 RD CALs. The server hosts DNS
    server and has AD DS role installed, is virtualized to have one Hyper-V server.
    I read some blogs about having both DNS and AD DS on one box is a bad sea and a root cause of the issue. Well, that very well may be, but for me that's an option as I'm not going to get a box to just host DNS. There should a solution to this as I shouldn't

    I also read about KB2871777 - Servicing stack update supposedly addressign this issue. Well, it's on my system and the issue is there too. :)
    Will I loose ability to RD when the trial expires or it's just another misleading MS message that can be ignored?
    How do I mend Remote Desktop Management service to start?

    Hi,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server forum.
    Can administrators perfectly connect to RDS environment?
     In meantime please check that you have properly configured and activated RD License role service and install RDS CAL on it. It might also possible that you have configured RD License server but it server can’t find it and giving you error due to certificate
    also. Please check that you have properly configured certificate on your RDS Server. Try to install and update below hotfix for License related issue.
    No RDS license when you connect to an RDS farm in Windows Server 2012
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2916846
    If you have configured both RDS and AD DS on single server then also you may find some error reading this. If so please try to setup both roles on different server and check the result. In addition to this, please check below articles.

  • Remote Desktop Web Access Administration not in menu

    I am trying to figure out why RemoteApp is working and Remote Desktop connection isn't on my very simple installation. One thing I came across is that something seems to be missing from my Remote Desktop Services menu. According to the TechNet article at https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee891009(WS.10).aspx
    if I should be able to access RD Web administration by following these instructions: 
    On the RD Web Access server, click Start, point to Administrative Tools, point to Remote Desktop Services, and then click Remote Desktop Web Access Administration.
    But when I go there I find that there is no Remote Desktop Web Access Administration. Any ideas on why it doesn't exist?

    Yes, that's the OS I'm using. Those settings are set properly as far as I know. Since this is all on one server, the DC (very small office that can't justify second server), I'm not using an RD Connection Broker so it's set to the RemoteApp sources and
    the Source name is the internal FQDN of the server. servername.domain.local. The weird thing is that when I log in via RD Web the RemoteApps Programs tab has a Remote Desktop icon that successfully connects me to the server but the Remote Desktop tab always
    fails, telling me it can't connect to the computer.

  • Have to kill ARDAgent each time I start Remote Desktop

    If I quit Remote Desktop and then try to launch it again later, I usually get the following error message:
    "The Remote Desktop Administrator software failed to start due to an unexpected error.
    The Remote Desktop software may not be installed correctly or the computer may require a restart."
    If I kill the ARDAgent process from Terminal, a new one starts and I am able to launch Remote Desktop again. This is getting rather tiresome. Has anyone else encountered this problem and found a solution?

    I'd suggest removing ARD using the instructions here and then reinstalling. Make sure that when you next start up the ARD admin app that you're in a Mac OS X user account that has administrator privileges.
    Hope this helps.

  • Troubleshooting error with Remote Desktop 3.1

    Have OSX Server 10.4.10 on a powerPC with Remote Desktop 2.2, Security scans advise to update to Remote Desktop Client 3.1. Everytime I do this I get this error "The Remote Desktop Administrator software failed to start du to an unexpected error. The Remote Desktop software may not be installed correctly or the computer may require a restart."
    I have two machines on this network that are giving this error, one this server and the other a laptop. Version 2.2 was running and working just fine prior to the update, now its broke. Is there a log file somewhere to try to figure this error out? Has anyone else experienced this issue? I have already tried to reset permissions, and reboot, but nothing works.

    Just to confirm my understanding, you are running the ARD 2.2 Administrator on the server, and something is advising you to upgrade that system to the ARD 3.1 client? If that's the situation, then do not upgrade. The 3.x client will not work with the ARD 2.2 administrator. If you did indeed upgrade, you'll need remove ARD using the instructions here and then reinstall ARD 2.2 from your installation disks.
    Similarly, if you've upgraded any client workstation to the 3.x client, you'll need to remove it and reinstall the 2.2 client using this installer. It says it's an "updater", but it will work anyway.
    Hope this helps.

  • Remote Desktop disconnected because of security error from Windows 8.1 Surface to Server 2008

    Hello,
    I am trying
    to connect to a remote app on a 2008 server from a surface pro 3 with 8.1
    through Netilla SSL VPN and I getting the following error message.
    Remote Desktop Disconnected
    Because of a security error, the client could not connect to the remote computer Verify that you are logged on to the network and then try connection again
    if I am connected to the network and use the RDP file, it connects fine.
    This
    was previosluly working, but when I changed the terminal server to per user
    license mode from trial mode this happen
    This works fine from Windows 7 machines.<o:p></o:p>
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Derek

    Hi Derek,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
    From the error itself it seems that there is some network connection issue with VPN. Kindly see that you get network when you are using VPN connection, also VPN must be running. You can also try to “ping” the remote computer and see whether there is successful
    ping result.
    Also try to use “Allow connections from computers running any version of Remote Desktop” option on server side and check whether you can remote desktop successfully. 
    Apart this issue can also be caused due to certificate as VPN can’t resolve the certificate properly and facing this issue because you are facing issue only with usage of VPN (as you have commented). Please check
    this link for detail.
    Hope it helps!
    Thanks.

  • 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.
