Remote Desktop Connection Problem in Windows 7 Home Premium

First off i have changed most of my computers in the house to static IP addresses. I only configured one static IP address to the router which is my laptop out of the two computers i am working with. Desktop and Laptop. Second I have enabled the Remote Desktop
on both computers and changed the firewall setting for the computer or the anti virus software. I tried the netstat -a but dont understand how to read it and when I did i never saw a host or port number for 3389 at all.
Then finally I went into the registry/regedit to try to see if I had the port number available and port 3389 was not there is just had #"2" in hexadecimal and the file says ehshell.exe which I have no clue what that means. When i click on that it
does not have the Port Number as the Title nor the port number itself as decimal which should be 3389 as decimal data but instead it has 2 as the data for hexadecimal. I can change the data for the port numbe and change to 3389 but I can't change the title
from ehshell.exe in the decimal value to PortNumber? The letters on my keyboard just will not coroperate or respond but it will highlight the word and thats it but not make a change to the data value ehshell.exe to something else.
Is it supposed to do that or what I wonder does anybody have any solutions to this so I can get my Remote Desktop running as soon as possible and no I do not have an Nvidia graphics card. I dont know what the problem is so can somebody please help
me? I need it for my Windows Server 2008 R2 class next semester and I need to be able to remote to other computers and devices.

Hi,
You can search and download remote desktop client for Win7.

I haven't tried it with Windows 7 but am having pretty good luck with a Windows XP Professional machine. What I did was just found the IP address to the Windows machine by:
Command Prompt, type ipconfig and locate the IP address.
Start RD, enter the IP address of the Windows machine, if the machine has a user name and password you have to enter that and then it works.
At least that's all I had to do. The key is knowing the IP Address and login and password of the Windows machine.

Remote desktop connection problem windows 8

Hi everybody,
I hope you can help us. We run a software package that uses a remote desktop connection. When the program is minimised for more than a couple of minutes, the connection disconnects and takes a while to reconnect. We've been in touch with the guys that run
the program and they've said that there's no problem on their end and that it must be on our end. It's happening with all three computers at one location and it's not happening with our two computers in our other location.
I've been in touch with the online support guys in microsoft and they couldn't help. So I'm wondering if any of you can help us (in laymans terms please!).
All our computers run Windows 8.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Thank you for your posting in Windows Server Forum.
Yes, you can check with 2 different settings. 1) By Collection properties (Server 2012\R2) and RDP-Tcp connection under Remote Desktop Service Manager (Server 2008 R2). 2) The other setting is related to GPO (Set time
limit for active but idle Remote Desktop Services sessions) as following path.
Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Session Time Limits
User Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Session Time Limits
You can check below link (Configuration 1) for more information.

IS at work told me I need to upggrade my home Macbook Pro operating system , 10.6.8, to a new version in order to remote desktop connect to my windows 7.1 machine at work. I want to know if I can skip prior upgrades and go to Yosemite or if I have

Since my work machine was upgraded to a Windows 7.1 pc, I can no longer connect remotely with my Macbook Pro with 10.6.8. I need to know the most efficient and economical way of doing this and if I can skip versions to get where I need to be. Supposedly, I need the very latest remote desktop connection software, and it is not compatible with 10.6.8. Help please.
Thanks

Open the Mac App Store and try downloading Yosemite. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.

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 limit in windows 2003 administration as well as in the mixed environment of windows 2003 and 2008 servers

RDP protocol i.e. Remote desktop connection is configured to perfrom and manage software administration of ORACLE application and database servers which runs on windows 2003 server. Two sessions are allowed on each of these servers for database
administrators. The question is:
a) if network administrators who perform window server administration (50+) are included in
2 sessions limit or do they manage all these servers through Console Session which is separate from the remote desktop connection limits of 2 sessions.
b) How is the 2 sessions limit prescribed by microsoft (more of a licensing limit) handled in the mix environment of windows 2003 and 2008 server where all these servers are managed on the VMWARE?
avnish sharma

Hi Avnish,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
By default any windows server will provide 2 remote session for administration purpose only. No matter which administrator is accessing that server. If you will connect the console session then 3.One server is accessed by 3 Session (console + Remote +
Remote). When the particular server reached this limit then any working administrator will receive a message to log out as other user trying to access the session or if we had provided the setting then new user is restricted to login.
If you want more than 2 remote desktop session than you need to purchase TS\RDS CAL, install TS\RD Licensing role, activate it first and then configure CAL on it. There are 2 types of CAL available (USER & DEVICE). You can purchase CAL according to your
company requirements.
Hope it helps to understand!
Thanks.

Remote desktop connection to a windows server

Is it possible to connect to a Windows server on an iPad2 the way one can use Remote Desktop Connection on a Mac?

download and install any one of the RDC apps available on the app store.

Remote Desktop Connection Problems

Every time I install updates, I seem to lose my RDC. All was working last week and the computers are set to accept remote connections. On my Windows Server 2012 Essentials, I can log into my remote Web Access, then go to "Computers" and when I
click on the computer (or any of them) I get the prompt for log in, but when I enter in my credentials, the same log in screen keeps popping up. See the image below. I do not see a domain name on the credentials screen, but not sure. Any ideas? Thanks

Hello,
Try entering your credentials with the DOMAIN\Username method to see if that works for you.

Remote Desktop Connection problem with multiple Lenovo machines

Hello,
I've been running into issues with connecting to some of the latest Lenovos we purchased using RDP. It has happened with a batch of 3 x220s and a batch of 2 Thinkstation C20s (possibly others that I haven't yet had to remote into).
The symptoms are maddening in the paucity of information given for the failure. It basically goes like this -- type in the name of the computer and hit connect. Immediately I get a "this computer can't connect to the remote computer"; it's so sudden that it seems to be getting rejected immediately. I've check every windows log (even the ones under Applications and Services) and the ONLY thing logged (on the destination computer) is that an RDP session was initiated. NO reason is given for the failure. No error event given.
Has anyone else run into this? I'm having to use 3rd party software to log in to computers, which is becomming a nuisance as I am trying to set up computers at a branch office for new users. Is there some way to debug RDP? I ran a packet sniffer and a total of 6 packets are passed for these "sessions" -- mostly TCP handshake packets at that, and only one actual RDP packet. Is there a more verbose log I should be looking at?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If you can't connect to your new or restored Lenovo with the OEM install of Windows 7, it may very well be that the particular registry key below is not set to the typical default value (I think Lenovo has messed up their OEM install image). The two secrity packages 'tspkg' and 'pku2u' are missing on OEM Lenovo images.
This registry key:
HKLM\system\currentcontrolset\control\lsa\security packages
Should look like this:
kerberos msv1_0 schannel wdigest tspkg pku2u
Fix it and RDC will connect.
(may need a reboot to take effect)

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.

Dymo Labelwriter printers not working via Mac Remote Desktop connection into Windows Server 2008

I'm having a really hard time getting Dymo labelwriters (models 335 turbo and 450 turbo) to work over a remote desktop connection and I'd appreciate any help you can offer.
To briefly describe the situation, I'm working for a Doctor's office, moving their IT from a remotely-hosted environment where employees connect to their Windows Server 2008 virtual machines (hosted off-site) via Windows 7 machines through Microsoft's remote
desktop software.
The new setup will have new servers running in-house instead of remotely and will be based on Apple's Mac Mini machines running Windows 7 for some tasks through Parallels virtualization
software running directly on each employee's Mac Mini.
We have 3 of the Dymo 450 Turbo products and one 330 Turbo, each connected directly to a Mac Mini.
Here's the problem: I have Microsoft's Remote Desktop software running on the Macs natively, connected to each employee's virtual machine on the remote server for now, until the time comes to make the switch to using the new in-house server. The remote desktop
software works fine - employees are able to connect successfully and access their desktops fine. I have the "Forward Printing Devices" option checked in the Microsoft Remote Desktop app so that the hosted virtual desktops can see the local labelwriters.
However, the Dymo Label software running on the remote server will not recognize that a labelwriter is present.
If I go to the Printers and Devices window on the remote server, the labelwriter shows up fine, named "dymo labelwriter 450 turbo (redirected 10)" however running the Dymo Label software gives an error, "Dymo label says no printer connected:
dymo label printer requires a dymo label printer be installed and connected ..."
To try and narrow down the cause of the problem, on the same Mac, I ran Windows 7 via Parallels and set up a new remote desktop connection within that Windows VM. Just to be clear, instead of using the RDC software running in the Mac OS, this new connection
is using a Windows virtual machine running on the same Mac, with the RDC being established from within that Windows VM. Again, I forward printing devices and the labelwriter shows up in Printers and Devices on the remote server as "dymo labelwriter 450
turbo (redirected 10)" This time, the Dymo Label software recognizes the attached labelwriter and runs fine.
I'd appreciate any advice you can give on why, as far as the remote server is concerned, a forwarded labelwriter from Microsoft remote desktop running natively on a Mac isn't recognized
but it is if forwarded from within Windows, bearing in mind that the labelwriter shows up on the remote server in both instances and is called the same name in devices and printers.
Sorry for the long-winded question. I hope you can help me.

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Firstly please check whether you have driver capable for your printer with MAC MRD. Also I would like you to check with updated MRD version 8.0.9 for MAC OSX.
https://itunes.apple.com/in/app/microsoft-remote-desktop/id715768417?mt=12
Because as you have commented it can work with windows RDP, so please also try to contact Dymo Labelwriter printer and inquire regarding the issue.
Hope it helps!
Thanks.

Remote Desktop Connection in Windows 8

Hi, I can't seem to figure out how to make my local drives available when using the app Remote Desktop Connection on my Windows 8. All the instructions I found on Microsoft do not apply to Windows 8 http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc728050(v=ws.10).aspx
. Or else I can't find this "Options" tab they're talking about.

The program doesn't come up in a window anything like that. It's full screen with only the option to connect to a server. And in settings there are no options that resemble that.
Hi,
Could you please snapshot about RDC with us? Mine is shown as below

Another Windows 8.1 Remote Desktop Connection Issue

I want to connect to my PC running Windows 8.1 from my tablet running 8.1. I have allowed RDC in the windows firewall. I open RDC on my tablet and enter my PC computer name, KENSPC, into the Computer field and get "Remote Desktop can't connect to the
remote computer for one of these reasons:
1) Remote access to the server is not enabled
2) The remote computer is turned off
3) The remote computer is not available on the network.
I get the same message when I use the IP address for the PC.
My PC is wired to my router and my tablet is wireless and both use my Microsoft account for credentials. I can ping the PC from the tablet, so I know the tablet can see the PC and I can open files on the PC from the tablet. I have "Allow
Remote Assistance connections to this computer" turned on. And I have, in fact, had HP help via remote assistance. But nothing I do seems to work. The steps as specified in the Helps do not work. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
According to your description,we need to know the detail edition of your remote PC.
You can use a PC running any edition of Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7, or a PC running Windows 8, Windows RT, Windows 8.1, or Windows RT 8.1 to initiate a connection.
But the remote PC must be running one of these Windows operating systems:
Windows 8.1 Pro ,Windows 8.1 Enterprise ,Windows 8 Enterprise ,Windows 8 Pro ,Windows 7 Professional ,Windows 7 Enterprise ,Windows 7 Ultimate ,Windows Vista Business ,Windows Vista Ultimate ,Windows Vista Enterprise ,Windows XP Professional.
Also, I would like to share the following article with you:
