Remote Desktop Connection certification issue with Win Server 2008 R2

When connecting to Windows 2008 server R2, from Windows 7, Vista and Mac OS 10.6.7 via Remote Desktop Connection, i am getting a 'Server Name on the Certificate is Incorrect' error.
if i click connect, i can still connect to the machine, due to a 3rd party managing the server, this doesn't look very professional on my part...
The server is a standalone machine and is not currently on a domain. RDC is only used for management purposes.

Hi,
This certificate error is normal, because your client do not trust the certificate which is installed on the terminal server. To avoid this issue,
you can export the certificate and import this certificate into the client side (computer account).
Thanks.

Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) iMac to PC server with fixed IP

I have setup my first imac and as part of this process downloaded Remote Desktop Connection for macs so that I can log onto my server at work. Problem is when I attempt to connect to my remote pc the following message appears "Remote Desktop Connection cannot verify the identity of the computer that you want to connect to. Try connecting to the Windows-based computer, or contact our administrator"

So, what if those don't help? I've had "Always connect, even if authentication fails" selected for quite a while. It was working fine. Yesterday I installed Office 2011 (and immediately installed SP1), and now it broke my ability to connect to a Windows Server 2008 VM that definitely worked yesterday before the Office upgrade.
Anybody have a solution for this? It appears to be a bug in RDC 2.10. Thanks, Microsoft. Off to find a working RDP client for the Mac…

Remote Desktop Connection Times Out With "Can't Connect" From One Specific Computer Only

This is an odd one... I manage several servers from this computer. This particular server, 2012 Essentials, won't allow for remote desktop connections to either the server or attached workstations. I can get into the server's remote web page but when I
attempt a remote desktop connection, it hangs on "Initiating remote connection..." and then times out with the error response that remote desktop can't connect. But... if I attempt the same connections from any other computer, I am able to get in
and utilize remote desktop. Does this mean that there is a certificate issue with the computer unable to connect and if so, how does one remedy this? Or is it some other issue? I've attempted everything within my technical ability to no avail. Any suggestions
are greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Before going further, would you please let me know the RDC version that used in the problematic computer? Was it the same with other computers?
Please temporarily disable firewall and then check if this issue can be solved. Based on your current description, it’s hard to say the root reason of this issue.
So, I suggest that you should check relevant log files and get some clues. It will help us to narrow down and solve your issue.
Hope this helps.

To install Remote Desktop Services User CAL on Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition with SP1

Dear Sir,

Hi,
1. Install Remote Desktop Session Host and Remote Desktop Licensing Role Services using Server Manager.
2. Open RD Licensing Manager (licmgr.exe), Activate your server, then install your license
3. In RD Session Host Configuration (tsconfig.msc), set the Licensing mode to Per User and Specify your RD Licensing server name (itself). If you want you may configure these two settings via group policy setting instead. The path of the
group policy settings is Computer Configuration\ Administrative Templates\ Windows Components\ Remote Desktop Services\ Remote Desktop Session Host\ Licensing
4. You may point other RDSH servers to your RD Licensing server using RD Session Host Configuration or via group policy as mentioned above.
5. Optionally you may consider installing other Remote Desktop Role Services such as RD Gateway, RD Web Access, RD Connection Broker, etc.

RDP audio issues with Windows Server 2008

I have a server with an M-Audio 1010LT audio card installed, running audio playback software. This software needs to stay running and playing at all times.
We were previously running Windows Server 2003 and when we RDPed into the box for maintenance, we simply made sure that 'Leave at remote computer" was selected under Remote Desktop's sound settings. This allowed us to control the console of the server while the audio continued to play through the server's audio card.
Now, with Windows Server 2008, even with this option selected when we remote into this server all audio stops and Windows shows no available audio devices. If I end my RDP session and phyically go to the server, I see the audio devices and am able to re-start the audio playback.
Is this a bug, or something that has changed in 2008? Any workarounds?
Thanks

Network issues with Windows Server 2008 and MacOS

Hello there,
I believe it is a long shot, but i am running out of options. I got a video streaming server software running on my windows server 2008. It has a client that runs on MacOS and Windows. The windows client works just fine, but the macos client cannot stream
a few videos.
I've tried installing the streaming server on windows 7 and my mac client worked just fine, so I believe that win server 2008 got some sort of configuration that is blocking the correct communication between software.
Since the software devs could not tell me what's wrong or how to fix it, I thought I might get some help here (kinda of a last hope thing). I have tried installing codecs, enabling desktop experience and nothing worked.
So, here is my question: Is there anything that windows server has that windows 7 do not that might be causing this scenerio?
Thanks,
Lucas

Hi,
Have you disabled the firewall on the windows server? The firewall may block the traffic if it isn’t configured properly.
If it still doesn’t work after disabling the firewall, please install the Network Monitor on the windows server and client. Then capture the traffic of the video when the server and windows7 runs your software.
Try to compare the traffic of windows server and windows7. Find out the difference between them.
To download Network Monitor, click the link below,

Issues with Windows Server 2008

Hi,
   I am facing a issue with my PROD and DEVE systems. Initially I installed ECC6 SR3 on PROD with Windows Server 2008 and only ABAP stack as JAVA stack is not fully supported. Now I am planning to install DEVE server with Windows 2003 in which I will have both ABAP and JAVA stacks.
   I just wanted to know whether there will be any sort of communication or support issues between PROD and DEVE systems with such diverse configurations.
   Awaiting replies.

>    I just wanted to know whether there will be any sort of communication or support issues between PROD and DEVE systems with such diverse configurations.
No.
You could even use HP-UX on the DEV system - as long as you're able to share a common directory to ensure transporting it's not a problem. Transports are OS and DB independent.
However, memory management and security in Windows 2008 changed significantly, you may have to use different configurations for W2K8 vs. W2K3.

Remote Desktop Connection Mouse Slow with Windows 2012

Hello:
I am connecting to a customer site with Citrix and using Citrix's Remote Desktop. I know this may be a Citrix issue but not sure. Customer isn't helping so thought I would check here.
I have two connections to computers in their network with Remote Desktop. One is to a Windows 2003 Server which works fine. When I connect to Windows 2012 the mouse is slow. I tried adjusting the mouse settings but it doesn't help.
Has anyone else experienced this? Is it an issue specific to Citrix or to Remote Desktop in general?
Thanks,

check out this blog, it's for virtual PC though but also using RDP.
just try it out whether it helps or not

OS X remote desktop failure to PC with Windows Server - no error messages

Recently I installed the Microsoft Remote Desktop App on my iPhone 5s and successfully managed to connect to a machine which is running Windows Server. I also frequently connect to it using remote desktop on a PC.
I have since installed the Remote Desktop app onto a Macbook with Yosemite and the exact same settings do not work. When I click start, I get a black screen which says 'Initializing' and then 'Connecting' and then the window simply closes, with absolutely
no error message or warning.
The connection involves specifying a gateway if this is of relevance.
Given connection is possible using the same app on another device, I cannot reconcile the fact that it does not work through a Macbook and it's very frustrating because things I need to do are essentially not worth doing on the iPhone screen.
At the moment, the only thing I can think of is that the app version for iPhones works and the one for actual Mac computers is faulty because I see these are different versions.
Please help or restore my sanity by confirming my suspicions and if it is so, advise when the Mac version will be rectified. Alternatively, if there is an old version which would work, please can you provide a link to where I can install this?
Thanks in anticipation!

Hi,
From your description it seems that your MRD MAC is not working. Can you let us know which version of MRD MAC you are using, please try to use latest version v 8.0.13 and check?
Btw, by which method you are trying to remote connect (via IP address or Hostname). Please try alternate way and see. Also you can find the log on below path for more research on MAC.
Microsoft Remote Desktop>About Microsoft Remote Desktop>Send log via email
Apart for a try, built URI scheme and connect the server to check. You can get information over
here.
And for older version, sorry to say but there is no such option to download.
Hope it helps!
Thanks.

Remote Desktop connection from Macbook to Win 2012 TS

One of our users purchased a new Macbook (OS X Yosemite) and installed the MS Remote Desktop app to do work from home. We've been trying to connect, we get to the logon screen, but there is a message that the user does not have Allow Logon through
Terminal Services right. I've checked the rights, and the user can log in remotely from other workstations, so rights are not the issue. We are using Remote Desktop version 8.0.14 (Build 25823).
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
How you are trying to remote desktop (either by IP address or Password)?
Did you find any specific error\log for your issue?
Please try to reinstall the app and collect log from below path for further research.

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.

Remote desktop users lost overnight on windows server 2008 R2

We set up a group in active directory to allow certain users access to this Virtual Machine.
I am able to go into the the remote Users of the VM and add this group from active directory.
Every Morning i have to re-add this group as it has gone at some point. There is nothing i can see that would cause this.
Would anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you,

Hi,
According to your description, it seems that the domain Users added in the remote desktop users group disappeared after the reboot, right? What are the operating systems of the clients and server?
In addition, you can try to add domain users to the Remote Desktop Users Group via Group Policy to see if the issue persists. For more detailed information, please refer to the link below:
How to add "Domain Users/Group" to Remote Desktop Users group on Servers using
Group Policy ?

Essbase 6.1.4 Client compatibility with Win-Server 2008.

Hi Friends,
I am looking to install Hyperion Essbase 6.1.4 Client Version on Windows Server 2008.
Can you please let me know if this version is compatible with the Windows Server 2008?
TIA,
KRIS

In addition to Nathan's comments this would be a platform that Oracle hasn't regression tested. So even if it were to appear to work if you encountered an issue Oracle would be justified and asking you to re-create the same issue on a supported platform.
In my opinion if this is a production application this is a risk you should not take.
If you are playing with an internal environment and want to learn more about Win2K8 that's one thing. Realizing most folks will give you the "It's not supported line" when you start asking why EPMA, FDM, and HFM do not work with IIS 7.x

Weird issue with Windows Server 2008 R2 Print Server

I have an issue with Windows 2008 R2 (VMWare Hosted) running Windows Print Server.
Prior to a small network change, the print server was working well, hosting about 80 different networked printers from various vendors.
We made a change (that we ended up rolling back) to the Client's DHCP Scope OPT 006 (DNS Servers). The DNS servers never quite worked right and broke AD authentication to different servers, and was just a mess.
After rolling back we are not able to keep the printers online. If we ping them from the print server, the printer(s) never wake up, when a print job is submitted. If we ping them from one of the access switches, they work fine (until they fall back asleep),
to prevent this, if we start a ping on the server AFTER waking them up from the Switch Ping, they stay online and no problems.
If we stop the ping, they fall back asleep at some point, and again, won't wake up without intervention/switch side ping.
Has anyone experienced anything like this? Any tips on how I could possibly resolve it?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
According to your description, the issue seems to be that the printers can't keep online. Sounds like a power managerment issue. Why these printers fall into sleep? Have you consulted this issue with the manufacturer of these printers? Do these printers
fall into sleep if them lose the contact with printer server? Have you tried to reset the printers?
>>We made a change (that we ended up rolling back) to the Client's DHCP Scope OPT 006 (DNS Servers).
DNS client will cache the recently queried records. If the DNS server has replied with a wrong records, communication issues will occur. To clear the DNS cache on a Windows device, please run the command below:
ipconfig /flushdns
