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.

Apart you can check this article for more information.
Hope it helps!
Thanks.

  • Problem Establishing Remote Desktop Connection from Win 7 64Bit

    I just got a new Lenovo laptop running Windows 7 Pro 64 Bit with Service Pack 1. I have installed all Win 7 Updates.
    When I try to connect to other Windows 7 Ultimate (32 bit) desktops through Remote Desktop Connection over my LAN, I get the following error:
    "An authentication error has occurred. The requested security package does not exist"
    I can connect to a Windows Small Business Server 2003 32 bit server from the laptop without problem.
    All machines are members of the same Windows domain.
    The Windows 7 machines I am trying to connect to can connect to each other without issue. NLA is set as not required on each of the desktops, though I have tried turning the NLA setting on, and received the same error.
    I have even tried running the 32 bit version of mstsc.exe and disabling the 64 bit version as discussed here:
    http://www.davidmoore.info/2009/12/02/running-32-bit-remote-desktop-connection-on-windows-64-bit/
    This had no effect either.

    Hi,
    Based on my research, please check whether the value of HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\Security Packages is
    kerberos
    msv1_0
    schannel
    wdigest
    tspkg

  • Remote desktop connection from windows computer to TC

    hi all,
    what I have: I have a TC 2TB, bought it three months ago.
    what I did: I have set it up at home. Using as base station for all my devices, iphone 4, ipad 2, macbook air and also other laptop. My TC is connected to ADSL modem with an ethernet cable (as expected). with port forwarding option of ADSL modem (in NAT Properties), I managed to forward any connection to TC. I have a static IP by the way.
    what I can do: from work or anywhere else other than my home network, I can connect to my static IP (via "Connect to Server" option in any mac device), it pops up a user name and password window, I login with my TC user name and decive password. In an instant my TC disk is mounted on my desktop, and I can reach all my files in it as if it is an external hard disk.
    what I cannot do: from a windows computer outside my network, I cannot connect to TC. I try to do this through "Remote Desktop Connection". Is this possible? If so how? Is this a problem related to network connection or TC settings?

    You cannot remote desktop into a TC..
    In fact you cannot remote access a TC from windows.. sorry.. but SMB protocol is blocked on the internet.. there are work arounds but no security.. don't do it.
    The only other protocol the TC offers is AFP.. there is no AFP file access software available for windows. You need to use a Mac.
    The best alternative is vpn.. replace your current adsl modem router with a vpn one.. eg draytek.. then you can access your home network. Since I presume when you say you have static ip you mean public IP then vpn is easy (well once setup it is).. reliable and secure.

  • Remote Desktop Connection from a Windows 8.1 laptop to a work PC using Windows 7

    Hi!
    I posted this question in the MS Community forums and they redirected me here... I searched the forums here but didn't find anything that helped with my problem. So here is my original question (posted originally here: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows8_1-networking/remote-desktop-connection-to-a-work-pc/5fa25045-de24-4a7c-9c8e-caf9ce17e444):
    For the past few weeks, I've been trying to set up a VPN connection to my work PC so I can work from home.
    Work PC runs on Windows 7 (I assume Pro, but I can't confirm at the moment).
    Home laptop runs on Windows 8.1 (the laptop came with Windows 8 already installed, so I assume it's the standard, or Home, edition. I manually upgraded to 8.1).
    Now, after many migraines and sleepless nights fiddling with settings, the VPN connection works. However, what prevents me from completing the connection is Remote Desktop Connection.
    Here's the error I get:
    "Remote Desktop can't find the computer "<computer name>". This might mean that "<computer name>" does not belong to the specified network. Verify the computer name and domain that you are trying to connect to."
    Note:
    - I DO have the correct computer name. I have a working connection to my work PC from my personal desktop PC (running XP), though I sometimes need to travel and a laptop is much more practical to carry around than a PC... ;)
    The VPN Connection Wizard never asked me to enter my destination PC username and password (so my work Windows credentials). Why?
    Any ideas as to why Remote Desktop doesn't want to connect?
    Any suggestions as to what I can try to fix the problem?
    Thank you for all the help!
    Julie

    Are you able to ping the remote system by name? It sounds as though you are connecting to VPN but are unable to resolve the names of the host network. A few things that I would think of:
    If the home system is not on a domain and the work system is, you may need to use the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN). For example, instead of
    computer you would enter computer.domain.com.
    You may want to check if your VPN connection is configured as a default gateway, otherwise if your home and VPN network have the same IP address range you may be experiencing a conflict.
    See the instructions provided here.
    You also may want to check the DNS settings for the VPN connection to ensure that it is finding the DNS server for the remote network and thus is able to resolve the hostname.
    You may want to try connecting Remote Desktop via IP address to determine if the issue is with name resolution (DNS) or connectivity.

  • 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 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.

  • Remote Desktop Connection (from home out)

    Have BT infinity, has been working fine connecting via Microsoft remote desktop to my office PC (for those infrequent occasions where I need to pick on the odd email), but from about 3 weeks ago I am unable to connect.
    I have not changed anything at my end.  Others can still connect.  And I can connect via 3G, so have narrowed it down to the BT connection or the homehub. 
    I used wired, not wireless connection.
    Am connecting via Microsoft's "Application and Network Access Portal", but I just get a message
    Have BT altered something at their end?
    Really need to get this working again.
    Thanks

    Thanks both.  I've reverted to the HH3 (type B) i had down in the basement, but still no joy :-(
    I can connect to my office email, using Outlook Web Access, but really need to get Remote Desktop working as I need to get other (non email) resources.
    I did crack this a while back, but it has since stopped working - at that time it was setting my iprange to be something different (as other posts had mentioned about possible my PC conflicting with the range used by my office).  But that isn't helping this time.
    Would be annoyed if BT have altered something again.
    Just spotted the HH3 firmware was update at start of Nov

  • Remote desktop connects, black screen, disconnects after a few seconds

    I have several servers running Windows Server 2012 R2. These servers are used for testing, and are members of a domain which has two DCs, each of which are running DNS Server.
    Yesterday I noticed one of the servers was having an issue with its remote desktop connection. If I try remoting into this machine, it connects to a black screen, sits there for 2-3 seconds and then promptly disconnects. No error message is given. I tried
    this from a couple different Windows 7 machines, and got the same result. I tried from my wife's iMac, which runs Jump Desktop, and too was met with the same result.
    I can, however, remote into this machine via RDP from my work-issued laptop, which is running Windows 8. However, I cannot remote into the problem machine via Remote Desktop Connection from one of the 2012 R2 servers--I am met with the same result as the
    other machines: connect, black screen for 2-3 seconds, disconnect without error.
    I can remote into all of the other 2012 R2 servers without issue from any machine, including the iMac. I am experiencing this problem on one server only.
    Since it is a test server, I reinstalled Windows from scratch this morning. This meant formatting the SSD and wiping everything out. I reinstalled the drivers, joined the server back to the domain and installed all of the updates available from Windows Update.
    And rebooted. And yet, the problem persists!
    I tried troubleshooting the "usual suspects," like turning off Windows Firewall, disabling antivirus software (currently none installed), disabling IPv6, setting a static IP instead of using DHCP, etc. I did notice the network adapter said it was
    on a Network, not a Domain Network. I corrected DNS settings, and the network reidentified itself as being on the ParietalBone.net network. And yet, the problem persists. Remote Desktop to this server still yields a black screen for 2-3 seconds, followed by
    a disconnect--EXCEPT from the aforementioned Windows 8 machine.
    I looked in the TerminalServices-LocalSessionManager log on the offending server, and there are no errors. I only see repeated entries that say "Session X has been disconnected, reason code 12," where X is 1 or 2. On a couple occasions, the reason
    code is 11. But I don't see any errors indicating a breakdown in security negotiation.
    Without any robust logs or debug details, I'm at a loss of where to look for a solution.

    I am cautiously optimistic that this may have been resolved.
    The network card in the computer was only a 10/100 built-in card, so I replaced it with a 1Gbps card. Interestingly, this did NOT resolve the issue. I ran netsh to check on the state of the chimney offload, but it was already disabled.
    In the network card properties, I changed the link speed and duplex from automatic to 1Gbps full, re-ran "netsh int tcp set global chimney=disabled" and rebooted. The problem persisted.
    And so I went to the network card properties and set IPv4 Checksum Offload, Large Send Offload (three of these -- IPv4, v2 IPv4 and v2IPv6) and TCP Checksum Offload (IPv4 and IPv6) to Disabled. Jumbo Frames were also disabled. I rebooted again.
    After the subsequent reboot, I was able to connect to this Server from machines that previously gave me difficulty. The only machine I haven't been able to test today (I'm in the office) is my wife's iMac, which is at home. However, I was able to bring this
    server up via Jump Desktop on my iPad, so I'm suspecting that perhaps one of the offload options was to blame. I'm not sure why this would allow me to connect from some machines but not others. And as noted above, I have many other machines running Server
    2012 R2 and they are NOT experiencing this problem. And I've not done any tinkering with network settings on any of them, so their chimney and offload settings are all in the default configuration.
    Regarding the other items -- NIC team, virtual machine, etc. -- there was no NIC team, no SRIOV and no RDMA involved.
    I had to turn IPv6 off on this machine, and only on this machine, because having it enabled was causing a lot more problems. DNS registration would keep failing, it couldn't pull Group Policy, it couldn't get time sync with the DC, etc. The servers are all
    set up with static IPv4 addresses. The router supports IPv6 but I'm not actually using it, so disabling IPv6 wasn't a concern to me.

  • I have a time capsule connected directly to fiber connection. I have connected a windows server directly to TC and configured it for remote desktop connection. From my interanet I can access srvr but not from my home. What config I need on TC?

    I have a time capsule directly connected to fibre optic point out. All pcs and macs are connected wirelessly to the internet. I have connected a windows server pc to TC. When configured for Remote desktop connection, I can access windows server from within interanet but don't know how to access it from internet. I guess I need to change some settings in TC to get some ip adress for the remote desktop connection from my home. Anyone who can help me out? Appreciate it.
    Narmin

    I am a little lost now.. I have read again your title and your first post.. and they seem inconsistent.
    In the title you state.
    From my interanet I can access srvr but not from my home.
    Interanet is not a word I know.. I assumed intranet...are you talking about internet or intranet? And just to be clear say WAN or LAN.. !! Is your home part of the interanet??
    In the first post you state,
    I can access windows server from within interanet but don't know how to access it from internet.
    Now this is more normal.. the issue is not in the home at all, it is accessible from there but fails from internet. If this is correct, then you can do a few obvious things to determine where the problem is.
    But first I need to know are you actually testing from a different internet connection to your home lan.. you are not just trying the public IP from inside the LAN as that will fail due to the TC not doing NAT Loopback.
    I am also assuming the TC is the only router in the network, and has the public IP on the WAN interface.
    And I am also assuming you have turned on the ping responder and you can actually ping your public ip from the internet and get a response. This helps no end in figuring out where there are issues. Strange but I have no idea if there is a ping responder in the TC WAN so you might need to forward that as well. Also if you have a dynamic public ip address are you using dyndns or no-ip or some other service to connect.
    1. Test bypassing the TC.. plug the internet connection straight into the windows server,, and test if you have access. If yes, the TC is the problem.. if not, your setup on the windows server is wrong.. look at firewall in particular.
    2. Assuming from test 1 the TC is the problem, Post the screen shots of the port forwarding setup for us to look at.. that is by far the easiest way to check it out.
    There are lots of references to port forwarding in the TC.. eg
    http://must-know-mac.blogspot.com/2008/07/how-to-port-forward-time-capsule.html
    The things that generally go wrong are firewall on the computer that is accepting the port.
    The ISP doesn't allow connections on a particular port. (not likely in your case)
    The router is behind another router.. double NAT will kill any port forward.
    Upnp has already allocated a port.. not an issue as TC doesn't use upnp although a reboot of everything after you set port forwards is well worth it.. amazing how things don't stick properly without a reboot.
    IP on the receiving device is not static and so changes.
    Not enough or right type of ports are opened. This is always messier than it looks as one port is often not enough for two way communications.

  • Remote Desktop Connection

    I'm running bootcamp Windows 8 on a MacBook Pro and a MacMini (on home network). 
    I have them set up for remote access. At home on the same network, I can remote desktop to the MacMini using the local IP address with no problems.
    I then wanted to access it from an external network so I enabled the default 3389 port in my firewall settings and set up this port to my MacMini in my router settings. I reserved the IP address for the MacMini as well.
    I was able to successfully connect from an external network at least once but once my external IP address changed, I was no longer able to get it to work after updating the IP address. The computer is on because I can access it using TeamViewer and I use
    that to check the current IP address of the MacMini when I'm trying to connect.
    To get around the dynamic IP problem, I signed up for a dyndns account and set up a host name. I can use a port check and the host name ***.dyn-o-saur.com resolves to the correct IP address (i.e., the whatismyip.com result on the MacMini). 
    I have tried changing the port to 8888 in case TeamViewer or some other application was using 3389 but that hasn't fixed the problem either. I've checked the port (using http://www.t1shopper.com/tools/port-scan/) and I get this message:
    ***.dyn-o-saur.com is responding on port 8888 (ddi-tcp-1).
    I have the dynUpdater v5.0.1 installed on both computers and it says the host is inactive (however since the hostname is resolving properly I assume this means the app is not working but it shouldn't be affecting my ability to connect?).
    Some help please?

    Hi,
    Firstly, we need to refer to this article and configure the settings.
    Allow Remote Desktop connections from outside your home network
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/allow-remote-desktop-connections-from-outside-your-home-network
    From you description, I think you have done this part. However, please keep to use port 3389 and make sure that you can RDP to your Windows 8 via the
    Public IP address from Internet.
    Then, as you have dynamic public IP address, we need some way to track the changes of your public IP address. Yes, dyndns is one of the methods, you need to make sure that it
    can resolve the host name you registered to the correct Public IP address so that you can always RDP you Windows 8 via host name when you outside your home.
    If you need assistance about dyndns, please contact their support.
    Thanks.

  • Remote Desktop Connection stopped working

    I made a change to my Verizon TV and Internet package, downgrading from Ultimate HD to Extreme HD and from 35/35 to 25/25.  This morning, when I ran a speed test it showed the new speed.  I went out for a few hours, and when I returned, my internet connection was not working at all.
    I called Verizon's support number and, after talking to two different people, one who wanted to swap out my router, and one who wanted to send a tech to check out my ONT, they finally figured out the problem was with their configuration, not any of the hardware in my house, and got me running again at the correct speed.
    During the trouble shooting process, they had me do multiple soft and hard reboots of my router, they remotely rebooted it, and had me push the recessed reset button once, restoring it to factory defaults.  This led to problems with my wireless devices, so I loaded a configuration file to the router that I had thankfully saved some time prior to this problem, and everything seemed to be working properly.
    Then, I tried to open a remote desktop connection from one of my machines to another one, both on my internal home network, a connection that had worked flawlessly up until now, and it would not work.  Moreover, trying to ping the "remote" machine from the one trying to initiate the connection gets no reply, but pings are replied to in the other direction.  And, both machines can see and access each other's shared folders and files, and both can see each other in the network map in the networking and sharing control panel app.
    I never made any configuration changes to either machine during the trouble shooting process, but to be sure, I used system restore on both machines and took them back to restore points made yesterday, when everything was working.
    I am at a loss to understand what has gone wrong, and would appreciate any constructive and helpful suggestions as to how to remedy this situation.
    ps
    I am running two different web servers on the target machine, and am running stunnel on it to provide secure nntp connections to a news client that doesn't have that capability built in, and none of these servers are available from other machines.  Nothing seems to be getting through to the target pc except windows network sharing!

    A perfect example. At least two game consoles. Any two (Two Xboxes, two Playstations, One Xbox and one Playstation).
    #3 If you have at least two special computers that support UPnP where you can not define the ports that they use....
    Do you only use one at time or are there times when at least two are on?

    We have two Xboxes and a Logitech Revue.  I have Windows Media Sharing enabled on three computers, and am also running a beta of Logitech Media Server on one.   It is possible that there are times when two or more streaming clients are in operation, but that is a very rare occasion.  Two of the computers, the ones I mention in my original post, are on almost continuously.
    In Advanced -> Universal Plug and Play, both Allow Other Network Users to Control Wireless Broadband Router's Network Features and Enable Automatic Cleanup of Old Unused UPnP Services are checked, and WAN Connection Publication: is set to Publish Only the Main WAN Connection.
    In Advanced -> IP Address Distribution, under Dynamic IP Range it says192.168.1.2 - 192.168.1.254.  However, in Advanced -> IP Address Distribution -> Connection List I have set all the lease types to Static, because I was having problems using the Verizon web page to access my set top boxes, particularly the MRDVR.  The Static IP addresses for the computers, game consoles, Bluray player etc. are in the range 192.168.1.2 - 192.168.1.12, and the set top boxes are at 192.168.1.100 & 192.168.1.101.
    One thing I did not mention in my original post is that I have two unmanaged gigabit ethernet switches in my home network.  There are two computers, the ones I mention in my original post, and the Logitech Revue plugged into one switch.  That switch plugs into another switch which also has one pc, an Xbox, and a Bluray player plugged into it, and that switch then plugs into one of the ports on my Verizon supplied Actiontec MI424-WR Rev C, firmware version 4.0.16.1.56.0.10.14.4.  All of the other ethernet ports on the router are unused.  In addition, we have a laptop, a notebook, another Xbox, and a Wii that connect through the Actiontec's wireless.
    I don't know if media streaming is still working and I don't really care if it is because we use it so seldomly.  It never worked consistently or to our satisfaction.  When we want to watch or listen to media from one computer on another, we copy it over the network from shared folders.  We have a Homegroup, to which all of the computers belong.  If we want to watch or listen to media on one of the game consoles, we copy it to a flash drive.  The Bluray player is only connected to the network for firmware updates and for discs with network enabled content.
    This same setup was operating before the problem developed, and I can't figure out what has changed to create the problem.  The router configuration file that I am using is from June of 2011, and I'm pretty sure that everything was working fine then, and don't recall making any changes to the router's configuration since then.

  • Remote Desktop Connection freezes Windows 7 64-bit

    At home, I just upgraded from a Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit desktop to a new Dell with Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit OS.  Remote Desktop Connection from my old home PC to my work PC worked great for years even after upgrading both to Windows 7 Ultimate.  Now everytime I try to use Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) to connect into my work PC (with Windows Ultimate 7 32-bit) the RDC window will freeze after a new seconds of use.  If I wait approx 3 minutes the RDC window will unfreeze for a few seconds before freezing again.  If I minimize the RDC window on my home PC, I can continue to work because it's only the RDC window that is frozen.  Here is everything I've tried already that has not helped:
    1. Trying reducing the home PC screen resolution
    2. Downloaded the latest 64-bit driver from NVIDIA for the GTX 260 graphics card
    3. Taken my home PC to work to test behind the company's firewall--doesn't help
    4. Disabled Window Auto Tuning (suggestion from this website)
    5. Called Dell support--they tried for about an hour to help but couldn't; thier suggestion was to order Windows 7 32-bit version OS and install it
    6. Tried running the 32-bit version of mstsc.exe - no help
    7. Using MSCOMFIG, disabled all Startup items - no help
    I have another home PC running Windows XP, it works perfectly using RDC to connect to my work PC.  Also, I have no problem at all using RDC from my work PC back into my home PC (the other direction).
    Here may be a clue:  if I start up my new Dell Windows 64-bit OS in Safe Mode, the RDC session does not freeze.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated!

    Hi,
    Since it works in Safe Mode, I suspect this should be related to some conflicts, please try the methods in the following Knowledge Base article to have a check:
    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7
    In addition, please also ensure the NIC drivers on all of the computers are up-to-date.
    Hope this helps. Thanks.

  • Remote Desktop Connection not working

    I am able to remote desktop connect to my home computer from work; however, I can't remote desktop connect to my work comptuer and server. I believed it has something to do with my Linksys E3000 access point settings but I'm not sure where to look for and verify. I took my home laptop to work and able to do remote desktop connect to the server. I also took a laptop that's working fine with remote desktop connect to the server home and tried to remote desktop connect to the server at work and it's not working. Therefore, I've concluded that it has something to do with the access point and not the settings in the computer because it works fine when I took it out of my home network. I also VPNP in to my work place so that it has the same IP address as at work and still, remote desktop connection from home to work is not working. Any suggestion is much appreciated.

Try to connect your computer to your modem or to another wireless network just to check if your work’s remote desktop will work. In case it will not work, then contact your IT guy.
    If you read my previous post it said:
    "I took my home laptop to work and able to do remote desktop connect to the server. I also took a laptop that's working fine with remote desktop connect to the server home and tried to remote desktop connect to the server at work and it's not working. Therefore, I've concluded that it has something to do with the access point and not the settings in the computer because it works fine when I took it out of my home network."
    I think my above statement answers your question of "Try to connect your computer to your modem or to another wireless network just to check if your work’s remote desktop will work." However, your statement prompts me think of something else. What I have tried is bring my laptop to work and tried connect via RDC to the server and it works but it just not working when trying at home. What I have not done is instead of brining my laptop to work and try RDC there, perhaps I should I try it on a friend's or relative's network and see if I can do RDC to my server at work. If this does not work as well, then, could it be that at work there is something something outside RDC coming? But even if this is so, why can't VPN work?
