Remote Desktop Issues

I have a new 2012 R2 Server.
I have connected a few Windows 7 clients to it using the Connect tool.
When I go to the Dashboard/Devices area, all of them say connected, but when I try to Remote Desktop to them, I get an error stating "Remote Desktop can't connect to the remote computer for one of these reasons" then it states the typical
3 reasons.
I've verified that Remote Desktop is enabled on the clients.
Any ideas?

Hi,
Thanks for your posting in Windows Server Forum.
As suggested by pranav, please try to troubleshoot the issue with link provided by him. In addition, please let us know below details for more information.
Have you installed RDS role on your server 2012 R2?
What’s the client RDP version using for your network?
Hope it helps!
Thanks,

Windows Home Server 2011 - Remote Desktop Issues

I had been using my administrator account to log into my headless Home Server remotely. Didnt have to do it often. I tried today and got:
"To log on to this remote computer, you must be granted the Allow log on through
Terminal Services right. By default, members of the Remote Desktop Users group have this
right. If you are not a member of the Remote Desktop Users group or another group that
has this right, or if the Remote Desktop User group does not have this right, you must be
granted this right manually."
How can I log into the machine to give myself rights? Am I going to have to yank it down out of the closet and hook it up to a monitor?

Your question has not been answered.
Windows Home Server 2011 does not use domains, so even if you had Windows 8.1 Pro, you'd still be left without a solution. I have one PC with Windows 8.1 Enterprise and that does work with Home Server; and a laptop with Windows 7 Pro and that works fine
too. Like you, I have issues with Windows 8.1 Pro.
Does anyone from Microsoft Server actually read these posts?
@PeterPensive,
the OP's original question was relating to "linking/combining" an MS Account with a Win8.x local account. That question was answered. (the answer is no), so, for a WHS scenario, linked accounts aren't possible, but, in Win8.x, an MS Account might be suitable
for use with WHS.
Are you confirming that an MS Account on Win8.x works ok with WHS?

NEW findings on the MS Remote Desktop issues for iOS and MacOS, please read Microsoft

Hi there,
Yesterday morning, I posted this topic: http://tinyurl.com/kohtjnm
Since then, new findings has brought some light on the issue. As stated in that last topic, I work for a software company that uses RDP as a clouding solution. Our customers using iPads were no longer able to connect since September while users with Windows
and Android were working fine. We figured that MacOS users didn't have problems either until one of them called us yesterday.
On tablets, we assist the customer to configure a single connection since it's usually not their main methods of working, but on MacOS, we configure 2 connections, two different domain names leading to the same server, this is in case one of the domain provider
is down like it happened in the past. The first domain is with Network Solutions while the 2nd domain is with GoDaddy.com Canada. With the MacOS user who called us yesterday, we found out that the 1st address (Network Solutions) didn't work but the 2nd address
(GoDaddy) did work. At first, we thought that the problem was with her Mac since no other Mac customer called us. Later that day, we had a new customer with a Mac and after setting him up, I had the same issue, the Network Solution address didn't work either.
After I was done with the Mac customer, I quickly grabbed our iPad and set-up MS Remote Desktop with our 2nd domain address (GoDaddy) and it worked!!! The problem is that somehow, your
latest program update is no longer compatible with every domain name address, it has nothing to do with gateways since both domain names have a gateway address from the respective provider.
So to recap, everything is cool with Windows and Android, the problem is the version 8 of your program for Apple products, it's not compatible with every domain name, something's jamming the connections, it's up to you to figure out what.
Thank you

Hi,
Thanks for your feedback, I will forward your concern to the product group.

Remote desktop issues after OS upgrade

I have a MACBook PRO that was loaded with MAC OS Snow Lepoard. I use this laptop to connect back to work via Barracuda and it worked without any issues. Now that I have updated to the Lion OS, can connect to the Barracuda site but when I attempt to connect to my computer the RDC crashes.

2 questions.
Have you downloaded the latest RDC version from Microsoft?
Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection Mac OS X Client (free)
<http://www.microsoft.com/mac/products/remote-desktop/default.mspx]]>
Have you tried an alternative RDC client, such as CoRD

Mac Mini Losing Wireless - Possible Remote Desktop Issue?

For months I've been using a Mac Mini (1.66 GHz Core Duo, 1Gb Ram, OS 10.4.8) as my wireless access point. I mainly connect to it using my Titanium Powerbook (667 mhz G4, 1Gb Ram, OS 10.4.8) and have had no connection problems. Friends and co-workers also connect without issue. Recently I upgraded to a MacBook Pro (Core Duo 2GHz, 512 MB Ram, OS 10.4.8). After the Migration Assistant was finished transferring my info from the Titanium, I connected to the Mini via Airport and started up Apple Remote Desktop on the MacBook Pro. I was prompted by Remote Desktop to update the client software on the Mini and did so (I don't remember the exact wording of the message, I just clicked on the default ). The 'upgrade' happened wirelessly, with the Administrator on the Macbook Pro uploading a package to the Mini. Immediately thereafter, I lost wireless connectivity with the Mini. When I went to check the Sharing preferences on the Mini, the Sharing preference pane had disappeared. After restarting both machines with no luck, I re-installed the Sharing pane on the Mini using Pacifist. Now, the Sharing preferences have returned, but when I turn on Internet Sharing, I am able to connect, but I loose the wireless connection after about 10 or 15 minutes. The connection just hangs, and although the network (named 'Mini') still appears in the Airport dropdown menu, if I manually disconnect and re-connect, I get the message 'There was an error joining the network "Mini" .' If I stop internet sharing on the Mini and restart it again, I can again connect with no problem, until the connection hangs, and so on. I am left to assume that Remote Desktop as somehow affected the wireless sharing but can't fix it. I have repaired permissions, zapped the pRam, and re-installed the client software. Any ideas?
Mac Mini 1.66 GHz Core Duo Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I have a laptop with AirRadar and other stumblers, I have a Linksys WET54G bridge which has a "site survey" feature, and on the iPhone I used eWiFi. Everything shows I'm on a clear channel and the signal is strong at the mini's location. (The WET54G is my temp solution to get the mini working, cannibalized from my main computer). The router is in the next room (approx 25' away), and other devices in the same room as the mini can see the router. I've moved the mini several feet with no improvement.
Bottom line, I'm pretty confident that interference or dead zone are not issues.
I have 3 users on the mini, and all experience the problem, but I will try a new user. Thanks for the suggestion.
I Googled some articles that suggested resetting PRAM, the PMU, and/or the System Management Controller (SMC). I haven't had a chance to try this yet, but will post results tonight.

Apple Remote Desktop issues in Mavericks

After upgrading to Mavericks from Snow Leopard on my MacBook Air, Apple Remote Desktop skewed all my lists. I can no longer control any of my client machines (even after I updated to clients to 3.7.1) and the overall performance is choppy at best. I am able to control client machines that have a static IP i.e. Servers etc., but ARD does not see any DHCP clients when scanning ethernet or wireless and will not let me control or view any existing clients that I maintained prior to installing Mavericks. Anybody else experiencing problems with ARD in Mavericks?

You might try to turn off the firewall on the client. Yes, this appears to be a bug. If you can connect to the client thru SSH you can use this:
sudo /usr/libexec/ApplicationFirewall/socketfilterfw --getglobalstate
That should return:
Firewall is enabled. (State = 1)
Then you can run:
sudo /usr/libexec/ApplicationFirewall/socketfilterfw --setglobalstate off
That should return:
Firewall is disabled. (State = 0)

Remote Desktop Issues. Works from PC to PC but not Surface to PC.

I have a fully upgraded Surface RT/8.1. I installed the app for remote desktop. I have read all of the installation and setup info that I can find. I have a laptop with windows 7 home premium and my main pc that is Windows 7 Pro. I can
use my laptop's remote desktop to control my desktop fine but I get control my main pc with my Surface. It tries to initiate but then says "Can't connect to the remote PC. There seems to be a problem with the remote PC. Contact technical
support or ask your network administrator for help." "Close".
Controlling Main PC with Laptop = fine.
Controlling Main PC with Surface = not working.
Please help. Thank you.

Exactly my trouble, losing information added, Outlook is overriding phone information.

Windows 8.1 DPI scaling and remote desktop issues

On my desktop display (2560*1080 21/9 display) I am using no DPI scaling. (100%)
When I remote into this machine from my Surface Pro tablet the display changes to 1920*1080 to fit the surface's display and scaling also kicks in. (125%)
When I afterwards login to the main machine directly, scaling is completely off. Large text and headers in explorer and small icons. Any way to fix this issue ? Loging off and back on fixes it but usually I'd like to keep the user logged on so my programs
keep on running.

If you change the scaling to 100% while logged in over RDP, then disconnect or log off, does it stick?
I had to grin just a bit... Microsoft has been touting the integration of their tablets and yet last time I remoted into my Windows 8.1 desktop workstation from my
iPad using a free RDP app It just kept the monitor 1 display size (1600 x 1200) and didn't mess at all with the desktop settings.

Remote Desktop issues with Mavericks

Hello, my company allows remote access to my desktop via Array Networks secure mobile connect. Since I moved to OSX I get "connection closed" within 1-5 minutes of connecting. Using Firefox browser, Safari has never worked with it. Thoughts?
Really don't want to go through the pain of going back to Lion.

Have you checked for an update?

Can anyone help me fault find this problem? (Win 8.1 to Win 7 Remote Desktop issue )

Hi,
I am connecting from a Win 8.1 machine at home into a Win 7 machine at work. I connect through Dell Global VPN.
This works ok wirelessly, but in order to get better performance I wanted to connect to the internet via wired ethernet instead.
I can get ethernet working on home machine and connect to internet - no problem. But whenever I try to log into work machine that way, it doesn't like it and says there is an internal error.
Just to re-iterate, this works fine wirelessly, just not via ethernet. I can connect to VPN ok but can't access Win 7 machine via ethernet.
If I switch back to wireless, it works.
I would love to resolve if anyone has suggestions how to get to the bottom of it?
Many thanks.

Installing Windows Server 2012 RC Remote Desktop (ISSUE)

Installing the RD Host Service doesn't work and I get several errors. Any Hints?

You cannot be serious. I approached your Microsoft "Gold certified" software partner 'Cancom Germany' with the following requirement:
- Need a Windows 2012 "Terminal Server"
- for 15 client devices
- currently no AD or other Windows servers installed
What do I get sold:
- Windows Server 2012
- 15 Device CALs
- 15 RDS device CALs
and the information that I need to setup AD and the RDS roles. So far so good.But I run into these error messages when setting up the RDS roles.
Now you are telling me that I need another server running just for the AD? Which I do not need for anything except for the internal requirement of the RDS services?
Please elaborate a bit more on the way to get it work on the same machine or suggest another solution (btw buying another license for the AD server is not a solution).
Totally agree with you. buying extra server just for AD or broker frustrated me. but I found a patch here

I don't know if it is too late, but hope it can help others

Windows server 2012 and windows xp remote desktop connection loss

I am having this problem for a month now, and i am stumped with trying to find an answer . I have talked with several network admins in my area and with no luck i have not found a solution. I have a windows server 2012 placed with 5 pcs that are connected
on a local network , those 5 pc's connect to the server via remote desktop. List of pc's:
1x Windows 7
4x Windows XP SP3
All have the latests network drivers, all have the latest version of remote desktop installed. All have been scanned for viruses. All have antivirus software.
Problem is the 4 XP machines lose connection on when connected via remote desktop. If one starts losing connection the other 3 start to lose the connection aswell. The windows 7 machine is not affected by this it works fine.
What have I tried:
Scanning for viruses.
Disabling Firewall and antivirus software.
Updating all drivers.
Did many changes to group policy like keepalives etc.
Turning off SMBv2 SMBv3.
Turning off network adapter Offload settings.
Changed some registry settings like keepalive, smb etc.
Updating every pc and server with all windows updates.
Changed the router and switch.
Port forwarded needed ports like 3389.
Updating remote desktop to 7.0.
I might be forgetting some stuff i will add as i remember anything.
So the thing is this. I use a Windows XP machine from my office I remotely connect to the server via the Internet and I DO NOT experience any connection loss. BUT the XP machines on the local network constantly experience connection loss via remote desktop.
I pinged every Machine from the server via CMD command PING. So when they lose connection the Packets get time outs . Packets get dropped between 1-10 packets when a connection is lost. This packet drop does not occur when using the internet or anything else.
ONLY when connected to the server via remote desktop. The packets get dropped at random intervals.
Problem is I use an XP machine and I am not experiencing any loss of connection , while the XP machines on the local network experience it , but not the windows 7 machine.
Router is ASUS RT-N53 , and switch is Dlink DES-1008D. Server is a Dell PowerEdge T110 II.
Can someone please tell me what can i do to solve this problem?

So today got some word from their office. They were using RDP from 8AM until 12PM all was working fine. Then got back after lunch about 1PM and got a few connection lost errors when they tried using RDP again. Its weird since they didn't have disconnects
in the morning, and started having them after lunch.
Also noticed, that two pc were not using RDP and were disconnected as shown in task manager. And they still got request timeouts.
Maybe this is not a remote desktop issue?
TASK MANAGER
The 2 disconnected pc's ping screens:

Remote desktop connection unable to start, window stalls when opens RDC, any tips

remote desktop connection does not open, when rdc starts it stalls and can not press any button.
any ideas on how to fix?

Since this question is about a Microsoft product, you might have more luck getting suggestions if you ask in Microsoft's own forums. This forum is for Apple Remote Desktop issues and questions and so probably not the place where you'll be most likely to get assistance with this problem.
Good luck.

Users cannot log into Remote Desktop after 3/11/2015 update!

I have a simple network where users can log into a Windows SBS 2008 server with Remote Desktop to access various applications. This worked quite smoothly until this morning, after the updates of last evening. (3/11/2015)
When users tried to log into the Remote Desktop this morning their credentials were rejected, as if their username and/or password were incorrect. Even I (as the administrator) could not log in remotely. Finally I connected a monitor and keyboard
directly to the server and was able to log in without an issue. After logging in directly I was able to connect through remote desktop.
This method worked for my other users as well - after I logged them in directly they were able to use remote desktop no problem.
The trouble is that I have a couple dozen users, and this is an issue that should not be occurring. What happened in the last update to cause remote desktop to reject users credentials? Why does it only work after the user logs in directly?
And most importantly, how do I fix this?
A few notes:
Simply browsing for files on the server also asks for the user's name and password, and this works as well. This is only a remote desktop issue.
I have already checked to make sure the domain was correct. It was.
I have already checked to make sure the usernames and passwords were correct. They were.
I have already checked to make sure this was not a unique issue for a single (or limited number) of users. This issue effected
all users all the network.
Thank you very much for your help,
Dustin

I'm curious here... If the server is rebooted, does it put the RDS users back into a "credentials failed" situation? If so, could you please have them log in with credentials:
domain.local\username (I suspect they may be currently using domain\username)
and see if that fixes the RDS problem without having to first log into the server directly.
The ".local" may be ".lan" or ".somethingelse" depending on how you initially configured your domain, but the default for SBS 2008 is ".local"
Merv Porter
=========================
That's a good question - the server will auto-reboot this evening and I'll test again in the morning.
You are correct that we've been using domain\username. I tried domain.local\username (which is the way we've set up), and that did not work either.
I'll let you know how things turn out tomorrow morning. I don't want to mess with my users anymore today. :P

TS2072 Remote Desktop Client for MS Windows Server 2003

I need to be able to access my work server to obtain information form our Windows 2003 Server. We have our product prices and other information on servers and today I use the remote desktop client that comes with Windows 7. I was hoping to find a suitable solution to allow me to use my macbook pro with OSX 10.7.4 Software. Does anyone know how to use OSX to make a remote desktop connection as you would through windows 7. I've seen CoRD and Microsoft did have a version but it's for older versions of OSX. I could run W7 but then I would have to purcase another copy and VM if I decided to run it virtual.
Thanks

This is not an Apple Remote Desktop issue - ARD is Apple's software for managing networked Macs - but CoRD and Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection for Mac should both work with Windows 2003 and both work on Mac OS X 10.7; I have used both on my systems. iTap Mobile RDP is another option, and the one I use daily since I've found it to be faster than either CoRD or Microsoft RDC, though iTap is not free.
Regards.
