Remote desktop from windows

I am looking for a vpn software (to securely penetrate to network
firewalls) and then I want to do remote desktop to the required mac 10.5
machines.
But I want to do it from windows machine therefore I am looking for a
software for windows machine.
Any pointers will be very helpful.
Any pointers to to a freeware will be good.

Use any of the free VNC clients floating around. Do a Google search.

  • Start remote desktop from windows lock screen

    Is it possible to invoke remote desktop from the lock screen of a host machine without interfering with any active session on that host machine? The host machine might have been locked by someone who had just walked away from it or the host machine may
    be being used remotely by its regular user. But despite this i would like to use it to run a remote session to my regular machine.

    Hi,
    The answer is no, Lock screen aims to protect user's profile and system resources securitry, Remote desktop need to use system rescoures, such as Printer, Drives, and so on. Therefore, it's impossible to start remote desktop from Widnows lock screen.

  • Solaris remote desktop from Windows

    Hi all i have windows xp and solaris 10 on the other machine...(home lan)
    I want to make visual remote desktop connection to my solaris system...
    do you know any effective tool for this?
    thank you

    Lion-OSeveral reasons where one of them being personal
    taste ;-)
    Next is versatility. Its pretty easy to setup an X
    server, even in Windows these days, and as such you
    hardly have to change anything on the Solaris part to
    make this setup work. Which can be easier on your
    part when it comes to patches and other updates.Thanks.
    I had tried, not very hard, last week to setup X forwarding via SSH but couldn't find a free Windows X client to make it work. Cygwin is installed but perhaps I haven't fooled with it enough to find the way to make it happed. I'm sure my good buddy Google is knowledgeable on the subject once I know what questions to ask. ;)
    My personal taste is for simple and secure and I'll likely follow your advice.
    Thanks again!

  • Connection Errors to Remote Desktop from OSX after Domain name change

    We have an issue using Microsoft Remote Desktop from Macs in our school. All was well until we changed the domain name of our RDS servers and installed a new wildcard certificate. Connections work perfectly in Windows 7/8 and also iOS on iPads, but we cannot
    get any Macs to connect having tried OSX 10.7 and 10.9. The error message says the connection failed to load but seems to add a spurious end to the connection string - TS/en-US/Default.aspx - but we cannot trace where this is being picked up.
    We can get to the site in a web browser and sign in to receive the "browser not supported" message in Safari so traffic is obviously getting to the severs.
    Has anyone else had a similar issue? We have spent days poking around with DNS etc but can't seem to make any progress here.

    Hi Jeremy,
    I have tried removing connections and also re-installing the App. We have been using this App since January with no real issues until we made our domain name change - I really don't understand why it works fine in Windows and iOS but not OSX. We are doing
    nothing different to what we have done from day 1.
    Log file from our old connection when it was working looked like this:

    I even tried to install rdp , but no luck.Please respond asap.Thanks.

    Try TSclientX. I got so sick and tired of MS RDP and the license crap. I mean, it comes bundled with Office, and still stops working every few weeks.

  • Remote deploys from Windows to Linux fail with deployment plans on WLS 10.0

    Hi there,
    We're using WLS 10.0.1 running in a RHEL environment (actually CentOS release 4.7 for development), and attempting to perform remote deploys from Windows work stations using the weblogic.Deployer ant task.
    It works fine when not using deployment plans, or when performing a remote deploy from a unix based work station such as a Mac. However, introducing a deployment plan causes a failure only when run from Windows.
    The log trace follows:

    Is this a bug? Is there anything we can do about it? The chances of us upgrading WLS are very remote unfortunately.

    This is something you should definitely file an Oracle support ticket for. It's entirely possible there's a patch for this.

  • Ctrl+Alt+End in Remote Desktop Running Windows XP with VMWare Fusion

    I am using remote desktop on Windows XP in a VMWare virtual machine on my MacBook Pro. When the remote computer I'm connecting to times out and locks the screen, I need to send ctrlaltend to get back to the login dialog to unlock the screen (ctrlaltdel gets processed by the local windows box and never passed through so ctrlaltend is the appropriate sequence in remote desktop). Only one problem ... my MacBook Pro keyboard doesn't have an End key (or any other key that maps to it as far as I can tell) ... neither does the bluetooth wireless keyboard I use. So how do I send ctrlaltend? Anybody else run into this and find a satisfactory solution short of disconnecting remote desktop and logging in all over again?

    That's weird.. I use RDC on my Vista's VM all the time and Ive never encountered this issue.
    Try running the RDC in full screen, so that the Ctrl-Alt-Del will go to the RDC.
    You can close the RDC window, and change the Options "Send Windows Combination Key" either to the RDC or the VM, or while the RDC in full screen.

  • Can I update free to Windows 10 from my Aspire ZC-102 All in One desktop from Windows 8.1?

    Can I update free to Windows 10 from my Aspire ZC-102 All in One desktop from Windows 8.1?I bought my ACER with Windows 8 on it a year ago thru HSN. Then I upgraded to 8.1 using the Store thing on the computer. I've not been a fan of 8 or 8.1. I'm told that Windows 10 comes out on Friday and that upgrades are free somehow. Maybe that's thru doing the beta testing that I've read about. I don't know. But I'm not in very good shape financially and my computer's operating system is going nuts on me so an upgrade would probably fix things pretty well.
    I'd tried to do a Repair Install of 8.1 but was somehow told that since I'd upgraded from 8, a Repair Install couldn't be done thru the Control Panel. I'm clueless and I'm hurting. Can I have some help please?

    Thanks. I see that white icon down by the clock that hovered says GET WINDOWS 10. So even though I downloaded Windows 10 yesterday and burned it into being a bootable DVD, I went ahead and just Reserved My Upgrade since the DVD hasn't been cooperating.When I stuck it in and hit any key as the ACER started, it brought me to a screen that I couldn't figure out what to do on. I was clueless and I didn't want to cause myself any grief by just trying anything. I did just backup my28+ GB of Photos, Docs, Desktop, Downloads & Music.
    But I don't want to accidentally do a clean install, which I've done before on my XP Tablet pc and that sure isn't any fun for a novice like me.
    I only use Office 2013 and an old Paint Shop Pro 6.0 which is really old and isn't their newer v6 so it has to run in Compatibility Mode in 8.1. I'm not an APP guy either. I do use OmniPass software for passwords so I can Save and Restore them if needed, so I had to buy a 64 bit version of that to run on this ACER.
    So I guess my next step is to just wait for a Notification from Microsoft that I can now switch to 10 which I think it said will just download so my DVD won't even be needed for anything but as a repair tool.That icon you told me about brought up a screen and on it it said that it found my PC to be compatible with Windows 10. So does that mean that drivers and everything ACER will work as they should or will I need to get anything off the ACER site to make my PC work with Windows 10?

  • HT5422 Can I install an earlier version of the Apple Remote Desktop from a disc on OSX 10.7.5?

    I cannot install an earlier version of the Apple Remote Desktop from a disc on my OSX 10.7.5 It says that the installation requires an earlier OSX version.
    I cannot upgrade with the RemoteDesktopAdmin361 available on line, since no Remote Desktop application exists. Any suggestions?

    Assuming your disk is for ARD 3.x, try this:
    • Insert your ARD CD
    • Open in Finder
    • Right click on the Remote Desktop.mpkg and show contents
    • Navigate to contents/installers
    • Drag the RemoteDesktopAdmin.pkg file onto the workstation and install
    • Run Software Update
    • Upgrade to the latest version of the admin application before attempting to launch the app

  • Group Policy to clear down MRU lists and to clear or to prevent user login details for programs such as Remote Desktop from being recorded

    Hi there,
    Please can anyone instruct me on how to set up Group Policy to clear down MRU lists and to clear or to prevent user login details for programs such as Remote Desktop from being recorded. Your help would be much appreciated.
    Kind regards,
    RocknRollTim
    P.S. I was redirected by a forum user off the Microsoft Community forum.

    Hi RocknRollTim,
    Agree with Jason. Using a script will be a better option.
    Just addition, for history of RDP Connections, please open Registry Editor and follow the path:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Terminal Server Client\Default. Please check if find MRU registry items where the name (or the IP address) of the terminal server is kept in.
    Please also follow the path: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Terminal Server Client\Servers. It contains
    the list of all RDC (remote desktop client) connections that have ever been established from this computer.
    When expand Server folder and select a node, you will see the UsernameHint key that show the name of the user connected by rdp.
    Please back up registry items to avoid unexpected issues before any operation.
    If any update, please feel free to let us know.
    Hope this helps.
    Best regards,
    Justin Gu
    Thank you for responding back Justin Gu and I agree with both you and Jason Miller that a script can easily achieve this task. Thank you all for your help.
    Many thanks,

  • Is there a way to access my Mac via remote desktop from a Windows machine?

    Hi, I'm lookinf for a way to connect from work to my Mac at home. I can do this using VNC and it works, but it is freaking slow! I also dont want to use the Chrome remote dekstop plugin or TeamViewer, there must be a RDP client that can go from Windows to Mac.
    Does any of you have some recommendation!?

    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.
