Remote Desktop and Mac Server Access

Hi Everyone,
I'm looking to find out if the iPad can support remote desktop access to another Mac and if Apple has released "Server Admin" and related tools for monitoring and administration of their Mac Server OSX?
Regards,
Steve

I have seen RDP, VNC, Citrix and View (Wyse) clients in the appstore for the iPad.
My next step is to confirm what happens if I use an external video display while using one of these applications.

  • Remote desktop and citrix server

    On my corporate network, which is Windows based, we are able to hit our Citrix server from inside the firewall using the Windows remote desktop program. How do I do the same with my Mac, when I am on the network inside our firewall? I can reach the server with no problems from outside the firewall.

    What application are you using to try and connect? I would guess that you're using the Citrix app or Microsoft's Remote Desktop Connection Client for Mac, neither of which will be most likely to get assistance with in this forum which is for Apple's own software for managing networked Macs. If you'll tell us what software you're using to try and connect, we can probably direct you to the place where you'll be most likely to get quick and accurate suggestions.

  • Remote desktop and Mac OS 9

    How or can I manage MAC OS 9 computers with version 2.2 of Remote Desktop? If i can't, then what do I need use to do it?

    There is, as you've probably discovered, no Mac OS 8/9 client for ARD 2.x or ARD 3.x. All you can do from ARD 2.x or 3.x with a Mac OS 8/9 client is take control over it, and for that you need to run a VNC server on the workstations.

  • Remote Desktop and Leopard Server VPN

    We have remote users logging into our server via VPN PPTP, they login fine and get the relevent address's but once there we can't see or connect to the using ARD 3.2.2. We can control the Server over the internet but not over VPN any ideas greatly appreciated.

    We have now got the situation that we can control the server over the VPN using screen sharing from another Leopard Mac but still can't control in the other direction.

  • Remote Desktop and Snow Leopard Server

    What is the best way to use Remote Desktop with Snow Leopard Server?
    I purchased a mac mini with snow leopard server and Remote desktop so I can easily manage my 11 computers, install and upgrade software etc. etc.
    The mac mini server will basically be nothing but a server.
    I will use as my main computer a mac pro. Do I need to install Remote Desktop on the server and on my mac pro? What is the best way to deploy the services of Remote desktop and mac os x server?

    You install Apple Remote Desktop on the machine you want to control from. In this case, install on your Mac Pro. All you have to do on the clients (controlled Macs) is enable remote management in the System Preferences under Sharing. Just make sure that all your controlled Macs are up to date on their ARD version (v3.3.2) which can be taken care of from Software Update.

  • Apple Remote Desktop and controlling over VPN

    Hi All,
    I had a question about whether something was possible and if so if someone could point me to instructions/how-to on setting it up.
    I have three Macs I am administering. One is an iMac that stays in the office on the network. Two are MBP's. One is always at a remote location, the other comes in and out of the office. I work remotely administering the server and the three systems. I have the latest version of Apple Remote Desktop and obviously can access the server fine. I was wondering though if there is any way besides having the person give me their IP address every time that through the VPN I can see their system, then access it in Remote Desktop just like we are on the network together? Basically they connect to the network via VPN if they are remote and I do the same thing and then access their machine.
    I hope that makes sense. I went through different parts of the guide for ARD but didn't come across a method like that described in there.
    Anyone with opinions? Thoughts? Chants of I'm an idiot? haha
    Thanks

    Yeah for some reason I cannot get this to work right. Even if I scan the 5 VPN IP's I have setup I cannot see their machines when I am connected to the VPN. I tested it the other day by connecting one of the systems to an outside internet connection, then logged it into the VPN. I then connected my own to a different source and logged into the VPN, but Remote Desktop just won't find it.
    Just not sure why it doesn't work. I can see the computers on our internal network though, just not any connected via VPN.

  • I am accessing a windows server using remote desktop and I am wondering if I can transfer files by sharing drives?

    I am accessing a windows server using remote desktop and I am wondering if I can transfer files by sharing drives?

    Probably. You may be able to use Finder > Go > Connect to server to access the server. You may be able to share folders using Remote Desktop too. Whichever one you like the best.

  • If I were to purchase the Apple Remote Desktop with Unlimited licenses, would I be able to install the client software on each of there computers/laptops and have them remote desktop into the server?

    I have several friends and family who are looking for a central place to access information from ( Pictures, home movies etc ).  So I am considering setting up an OSX Lion Server.  There are some other things I can use it for as well.
    Here is my question:
    If I were to purchase the Apple Remote Desktop with Unlimited licenses, would I be able to install the client software on each of there computers/laptops and have them remote desktop into the server?  Or would I have to install the Admin software on each?  Do they intend it to be used strictly as one admin to access many clients? 
    I always could set up a network drive so they can log in and just see the folders they have created with space on the server I provide them.  But I want them to be able to log an and actually use it as a Remote Desktop.
    Thanks,
    Eric

    Dave,
    Thanks for the feedback.  I understand that ARD is meant for Remote Administration, but I was not sure if it could be used for my purpose as well.  The reason I was looking to do it this was was because I read several articles online about security and performance issues with setting up VNC and activating screen sharing.  Unless I am misunderstood. 
    As far as people's activities on the server, mostly it is going to be used as a place for them to store their media.  I will only allow own person ( Who I trust and I know wont botch the server ), to run applications.  Everyone else will be restricted to uploading and downloading content to their designated account on the server as well as a community share on the server.
    I appreciate your help.
    Thanks,
    Eric

  • OS 10.6.3 and Remote Desktop for windows server, PDF Printer problem

    We are using Remote desktop for mac by windows in the office to work on a remote windows server, On the server we are using a business software (Mamut) for sale. In OS 10.5 we are using the PDF Printer to transfer PDF (invoice) from the business software (Mamut) 'Mamut is seeing the PDF printer as any other printer' to the desk top of your mac, so we can attach the PDF to a mail before we send it out to a customer, but in OS 10.6 the PDF printer is removed! So we need a different way of transfer the PDF from the windows server to the mac desk top.
    So now I am wondering if any one has a suggestion on how to fix this! if not we can't upgrade to OS 10.6, and that would be a shame!

    The thing is that in Mamut, we hit print, and because we us the PDF printer as Printer for Remote desk top, it pup up on the desk top of the mac, as a PDF. But in OS 10.6 there isn't any PDF printer to install, so then we have to make a PDF on the windows server and move it from the server to the mac, by mounting the HD from the Mac to the remote desk top, so it become edible in from the server. I think this is cumbersome.

  • [Forum FAQ] Troubleshoot the error "The Remote Desktop Session Host server is in Per User licensing mode and No Redirector Mode"

    Symptom
    RD License server is a key component of RDS. It licenses users to access RDS servers.
    After purchase the required RDS CALs, we need to activate the RDS License server and install the purchased RDS CALs. However, during the installation or after installation, we may face errors
    about RDS License.
    In most cases, the following error may occur.
    Error:
    The Remote Desktop Session Host server is in Per User licensing mode and No Redirector Mode, but license server "Server name" does not have any installed licenses with the following
    attributes:
    Product version: Windows Server 2012
    Licensing mode: Per User
    License type: RDS CALs
    Troubleshooting
    1. Check whether the RD License Configuration is configured properly and there are no Warnings in the Event.
    2. The License Server should be part of 'RD Server License' group in Active Directory Domain Services.
    3. Check if the Licensing Mode is correct.
    - To change the Licensing Mode we can use RD Licensing diagnose, PowerShell cmdlet and Group Policy.
    Via PowerShell cmdlet:
    To change the licensing mode on RDSH/RDVH:
    $obj = get-wmiobject -namespace "Root/CIMV2/TerminalServices" Win32_TerminalServiceSetting
    $obj.ChangeMode(value)
    # Value can be 2 - per Device, 4 - Per user
    Via Group Policy
    Path: Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Remote Desktop Services -> Remote Desktop Session Host -> Licensing
    Use the specified RD license servers = FQDN of server name
    Set the Remote Desktop licensing mode =
    Per User
    However, if issue persists, please provide detailed information and post the question in the
    Remote Desktop Services (Terminal Services) forum.
    Please click to vote if the post helps you. This can be beneficial to other community members reading the thread.

    Hi Richard,
    You need to uninstall Remote desktop session host feature. After removing it, you will default two connections which does not need to purchase RD CALs'.

  • Ipad app that will allow me to remote desktop into a server

    Can anyone give me some advice on the best app that will allow me to remote into my server at work? I have used the remote desktop for mac on my IMAC but am struggling with connecting from my IPad.

    just google remote desktop for ipad. I cant think of the names, but know there are a few remote apps out there for iPad. Some require additional software to be installed on the remote machine, to interpret the touches from the ipad to mouse movements and clicks on the host.

  • Remote Desktop and Airport

    Dear All,
    I have an iMac which is connected to the internet via Airport Extreme, with no direct ethernet connection. I am trying to connect back to the computer via Remote Desktop and using the automatic IP address which is assigned. (Setings->Network)
    I cannot access this IP address via Remote Desktop. Any Ideas?

    I suppose you mean you're trying to connect to your Mac from outside your LAN. The address you see in the Network panel of System Preferences is a LAN address. To make what you want to do work, (1) from the remote computer you're going to have to specify the WAN address of the AirPort Extreme and (2) configure the AirPort Extreme (via port mapping) to pass the Remote Desktop signals to your iMac. To see the port mapping settings, in AirPort Utility look at the Advanced panel.
