  • Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection Client for Mac Not Working

    I recently purchased Office 2011 for Mac.  I work at home on my Mac at work on Windows 7.  I also have a work laptop, running Windows 7, that comes home with me.  My goal is to RDC my Mac to the laptop running Windows 7 to reduce desktop clutter, and easily work between machines. 
    I CAN NOT FIGURE OUT how to get Microsoft RDC:mac to connect to my pc. 
    I know that the pc allows remote desktop connections because I often use RDC at work from PC to PC.
    SOME PLEASE HELP!  I have spent hours and hours trying to figure this out and I think it is the time capsule that is causing the problem. 
    My research has found that I have to use port 3389 to get this done.  I am pretty computer savy but when it comes to networking I guess I have no clue.  I have tried just about everything a and can't figure it out. 
    Thanks to anyone that can dedicate some time to configureing my time capsule to allow for RDC.

    I cannot quite put together your whole network..
    I work at home on my Mac at work on Windows 7.  I also have a work laptop, running Windows 7, that comes home with me.  My goal is to RDC my Mac to the laptop running Windows 7 to reduce desktop clutter, and easily work between machines.   
    So this is in local lan.. the PC laptop running win7 and the Mac loaded with RDC software. If this is local lan then the issue is nothing to do with TC.
    That is only if you are trying to connect from work. to home through the router at work and TC at home. On local lan there is no blocking to ports. Are you using the local network IP of the PC Laptop?
    Explain a bit further as it needs a bit more clarification.

  • A CR remote ODBC connection question for anyone brave enough to jump in.

    Greetings.
    Been working with CR 2008 for about a month now, having great success. Two days ago it all went south as I hit a brick wall. Yep, I'm a relative newbie to CR, but I've been doing IT for many years. This has really got me stumped. Any takers?
    My testbed:
    I have a segregated network with two PCu2019s  (A and B). PC (A) is running XP-Pro (32-bit) at IP 192.168.1.104, while PC (B) is running Win 7-pro 64-bit at IP 192.168.1.100.
    I installed CR 2008, Oracle 10g Express and MySQL Server 5.5 on both, so they are both configured identically from a database/server perspective.   Both use Norton Internet Security 2011.
    Oracle EX came with a sample HR database. I added a normalized Innodb compliant northwind database to the SQL Server and verified both installations.
    Both CR programs on PC(A) and on PC(B) can connect without issue to their respective local databases.  The HR database has been successfully (locally) accessed by CR. The Oracle northwind database has also been successfully accessed (locally) by CR.
    The problem:
    When running CR on PC(A), I cannot find a way to successfully connect it (i.e., CR) via ODBC to the other databases on PC(B) - or visa versa. 
    I have eliminated the obvious possibilities like firewalls or improper port addressing. Strangely, I can create DSNs on PC(A) that tells me it successfully connects to the target DB on PC(B), but for whatever reason I cannot get CR on the same machine to successfully use the same DSN that just successfully connected without CR. ARRRggggggg!
    For example:
    Step 1:
    I set up a System DSN as follows on PC(A) in my attempt to connect to the target HR database on PC(B):
    System DSN: HR-Fastsob
    Driver: CR Oracle Wire Protocol ODBC Driver 5.3
    Standard connection, Host: 192.168.1.100
    Port: 1521
    Service name: XE
    Step 2:
    I click on the Test Connect in the u2018ODBC Oracle Wire Protocol Driver Setupu2019 window.
    It responds with a u2018Logon to Oracle Wire Protocolu2019 window, in which I am prompted to enter the User Name and password. On the Oracle Express setup, I configured the database instance with root access as User: u2018SYSTEMu2019 and Password: u2018Passwordu2019, so I figured these should be the correct credentials.
    I click the u2018Test Connectionu2019 connection button and breathe a sigh of relief as it tells me Iu2019ve u2018successfully connectedu2019.
    Step 3:
    3.1 - I launch CR
    3.2 u2013 I create a new blank form
    3.3 u2013 I create a new connection
    3.4 - I click on ODBC (RDO)
    3.5 - I select the HR-Fastsob DSN from the list of DSNs.
    3.6 - Click next
    3.7 - An ODBC (RDO) connection window appears.  Iu2019m prompted to enter the user ID and password (SYSTEM and Password respectively), then hit the u2018Finishu2019 button.
    3.8 - A u201CLogon Failedu201D pop-up appears. I hit the u2018OKu2019 button.
    3.9 - Another popup appears saying u201CDatabase Connector Error: u201808s01:[Crystal Reports][ODBC Oracle Wire Protocol driver]Connection refused. Verify Host Name and Port Number. [Database Vendor Code -1]u201D. I sigh, then hit the u2018OKu2019 button.
    3.10 u2013 Yet another window appears saying u201CLogon filed. Details: 08001:[Crystal Reports][ODBC Oracle Wire Protocol driver][Oracle]ORA-12203: unable to connect to destination [Database Vendor Code -1]. I hit the u2018OKu2019 button.
    3.11 - An ODBC (RDO) connection window appears with my earlier entries (from step 3.7). No matter what I enter, the results are the same.
    Two days later, Iu2019m still scratching my head.
    I'm really hoping there's a guru in here that can feel my pain and who can dumb down the solution to this perplexing problem I'm facing.
    Iu2019m really at a loss. Obviously, I donu2019t fully understand ODBC connectivity well enough.
    The next beeru2019s on me if you get this one.
    Thanks to anyone willing to help me out

    Hi Don....
    Thanks for jumping in -- much appreciated.
    Your suggestion seemed plausible, as I had alternated between the system32 (64-bit) and the sysWOW (32-bit) odbc drivers. I thought maybe I had mixed it up...but alas, that didn't turn out to be the source of my problem. Your suggestion is still valid though, had I been using the 64-bit ODBC driber with a 32-bit CR app.
    I decide to try another approach -- by eliminating CR from the equation altogether. I ran Microsoft excel against the same remote databases using the same DSN and voila.... all worked as I thought it should in the first place. My connection was extremely fast and rock solid.
    This would ( I believe) suggest that the issue is with my version of CR i.e., Developer edition (v12.3.0.601) running on Win 7.
    I tried running CR in compatibility mode XP-Pro SP2, but got the same errors. So now I have to decider whether or not to upgrade to CR 2010 in the hopes it will work on Win 7 Pro 64-bit.
    Thanks again for stepping up.
    warm regards
    Bob

  • Keyboard layout under Remote Desktop Connections (US-International)

    Hi,
    I'm using Microsoft's Remote Desktop Connection on Mavericks 10.9.3 to connect to a Windows 7 machine using the US-International Keyboard layout, but some keys don't seem to work (quote, double quote, ~, etc.) The Mavericks machine is set up as Language English / Region UK / Input Source US International - PC. The Windows 7 with Language English (UK) / Keyboard US International.
    Any ideas?
    Cheers,
    Luiz
    P.S.: A similar question has been raised for Mountain Lion a couple of years ago, but the solution provided was to use an external software that is not compatible with Mavericks

    Even though it works under Lion, I never tried it under ML, Microsoft states
    Note  Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection Client for Mac (version 2.1.1) is not intended for use with Mac OS X v10.7 (Lion) or later.
    So I dropped it and now I am using CoRD.

  • Remote DeskTop Connection on iMac OS X (10.6.5)

    I am using RDC into work. I also have a need to use my system as do others in my home. We have 3 user accounts on the iMac and when I walk away I would like to log out of my account so others can use the system. Is there a way to do this keeping the RDC connected in the background?
    Thanks
    Steve

    If you are referring to Microsoft's Remote Desktop Connection Client for Mac, that's a different product. As such - this forum being specifically for Apple Remote Desktop, Apple's software for managing networked Macs - you might have more luck getting suggestions if you ask in Microsoft's own forums.
    Good luck.

  • Remote Desktop Connection Expert Question...

    I am looking for someone with a lot of experience with Windows Remote Desktop Connection to answer a basic question or two...
    I have a WireShark capture (only one side unfortunately) which shows 880 MBytes sent from the client running the Remote Desktop Connection, to the host; but I have no WireShark capture of the packet volume coming from the host to the client IP address. The
    capture is for a period spanning 32 hours. I am being asked to try and determine (guestimate) the amount of data that might have been sent from the host to the client... I know this is a real out there question; which is why I'm looking for someone with
    real Remote Desktop Connection experience.  
     Given that if the volume of traffic from the client to the host is 880MBytes over 32 hours; is there any way at all of guessing how much might have been sent from the host to the client?
    Please be kind, this is important and I am presenting all of the information I have.
    Thank you!

    Hi,
    Agreed with T.Murr here. Only based on the networks traces from one way connection, is hard to determine what happens on the other side.
    Besides, hope the following information would be helpful here:

  • Remote Desktop Connection for Mac - connection lost after a minute idle

    Hi There,
    I am trying to connect from a Macbook Pro to my work (XP) machine using the latest Remote Desktop Connection for Mac.
    It used to work fine, and recently it has been dropping the connection if I've not been 'active' for a minute or so.
    What is confusing is that it is not always like this. Some days, I can leave it inactive for hours over lunch etc, and I'll come back and it will be fine. And just the other day, in the morning it dropped me out ever minute or so I was inactive, and then the afternoon was fine, and the evening was troublsome again.
    Our administrators had not changed anything during that time, nor had I changed anything on my XP machine at work, or my Mac at home.
    I connect via a wireless connection.
    These problems occur when running on battery and when plugged in.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks,
    ThreeIsles

    Since RDC is not an Apple product, you should post your question on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac version of RDC:

    Close ... before going for a specific Cisco app ... lets find out some details:
    Host we need more details:
    What is your server environment (Windows Server, or Mac OS X Server, or Linux)?
    What security is implemented in your environment - as what is restricted (RDP for all or specifc credentials on all machines? Are you part of local admin group to the server you wish to connect)?
    Does your environment Support CISCO IPSec connection? If so use Settings> VPN and IPSec tab to enter VPN details, if not then go with above suggestion. IF your restricted to RSA then either built in VPN settings or 3rd party app for RSA would suffice.
    Finally, there are many RDP applications out there I use "Mocha RDP Light" (free minimal ads when launched not when connecting).

  • 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.

    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 for Mac to Windows - logout error

    Hello
    I'm trying to use Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) to get from my Mac into a MacMini running Windows XP Professional. I can log into the Windows computer, but once I put in my password and click OK, it logs out of the Windows machine. Is there some sort of sharing preference or configuration that I'm missing that's making this happen?
    I want to be able to use RDC to access the Windows machine and keep everything up still on the Windows machine.
    Thanks

    Since RDC is not an Apple product, you'll probably want to use a forum dedicated to Microsoft's Mac products such as <http://www.microsoft.com/mac/community/community.aspx?pid=newsgroups> rather than an Apple forum
    Be sure to search the forum first in case someone has already had a similar question answered.

  • The Remote Desktop Connection Broker server could not enumerate the targets for the provider named NULL from the database.

    When I try to install Connection Broker on a Windows 2012 R2 Server in a Windows 2003 domain I get this error:
    The Remote Desktop Connection Broker server could not enumerate the targets for the provider named NULL from the database.
    Pooled virtual desktop collection name: NULL
    Error: Logon to the database failed.
    I have added both the Connection Broker server and the 2 remote desktop servers (also Windows 2012 R2 Servers) to the "Windows Authorization Access Group" in the domain according to this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/331951
    But it still does not work :-(
    I keep getting same error....
    Any idea what I might be missing ?

    Hi,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
    Firstly please let us know by which method you have setup RDS role. You can have more advantage and feature when you will install with Standard deployment instead of Quick start deployment. So if you have setup with quick start option then you can try installing
    with standard type and check the result.
    In addition, please check SQL server database is properly configured for RDS server. Also check that domain controller properly communicates. Kindly go through below thread for more information.
    Server 2012 RDS - Remote
    Desktop Connection Broker Client failed to redirect the user domain\username. Error: NULL
    Hope it helps!

  • Why, when I successfully connect to Server 2012 Essentials R2 via Anywhere Access does the Remote Desktop Connection use the self signed certificate for RDP instead of the SSL certificate I installed when I set up access anywhere?

    Scenario:
    Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials
    I purchased an SSL Cert from GoDaddy and I managed (after some challenges) to set up Anywhere access to use that new SSL Cert. I to rebooted the server and I am able to login to Anywhere Access vis https (using the SSL certificate) from PC, Mac and iOS.
    So far so good.
    The problem I am having is that when I click to launch a remote desktop connection to the server RDP connection wants to use the self signed SSL certificate of the server rather than the SSL Certificate I installed into Anywhere Access. As a result, I get
    a security warning like this: "The identity of the remote computer cannot be verified. Do you want to connect anyway?"
    The name in the certificate appears as ACME-SERVER.ACMEDOMAIN.local  instead of the SSL Certificate I installed, which is
    remote.acmedomain.com
    If I lick to accept, RDP does work fine, it;s just using a self signed certificate. I want it to use the trusted certificate that I purchased and installed.
    My guess is that there must be an additional step to tell Anywhere Access that when it generates the RDP session that it should use the cert? OR, is this just how it works?

    Because....
    the server does not have a 'trusted' certificate assigned to it.
    Only the RDP Gateway has the trusted certificate for the external name.
    If you want to remove that error, you have to do one of the following:
    Make sure your domain uses a public top level domaim, and get a public trusted certificate for your server.
    So, something like,
    server.domain.publicdomain.com
    Or,
    Install that certificate on your remote computer so it is trusted.

  • Remote desktop connection for iphone?

    I am currently using my mac and remote desktop connection to access my work desktop. Can we do the same thing with the iphone? it would be really usefull
    thanks
    JF

    It would be a bit tough to navigate, but quite useful. I would suspect it would not be long after the SDK is released that we would see at the least VNC software.
