Remote Desktop on 10.4 computer with 10.5 server problem

Hi we have 10.5 server but all our workstations are 10.4. Doesn't seem like an issue but when I use Remote desktop on the 10.4 workstation and add the 10.5 server it tells me access denied. I've tried several different logins but nothing works. Double checked the settings ion the server for Remote Desktop and they seem ok. Anyone else having this problem or know if this is even possible?
BTW Remote desktop is up to date 3.2.1 and is running on a intel mac with 10.4.11 Currently I cannot upgrade the workstations to 10.5 due to other software compatibility.
Thanks
Steve

Hi, Steve,
You might instead want to post this question in the Remote Desktop forum. More people running ARD are likely to spot it there. I believe others have reported issues connecting to a 10.5 system from a 10.4 administrator station, so you might find some suggestions posted in that forum.
Good luck.

Remote Desktop to My Home Computer

LinkSys Wireless Router Model WRT110. Windows XP SR3.
On my home computer before I was connected to the internet with the WRT110, I was connected directly to my service provider's router, which provided a fixed IP for me. Hence, I was able to do a "Remote Desktop" connection to my home computer from work. Now that I am connected using the WRT110, I received a "local" IP (192.168.1.x) on my home computer and am no longer able to do a Remote Desktop. Is there a way that I can program my WRT110 to allow me to once again do a remote desktop, or is there a procedure whereby I may accomplish the connection? Thank you for the help.

You need to forward port 3389 on your router for Remote Desktop...Also you have to Enable Remote Desktop on your XP Computer...

REMOTE DESKTOP SERVICES CLIENT ACCESS LICENSES FOR MICROSOFT WINDOWS SERVER 2012 STANDARD AND DATACENTER

I am using a window 7 professional service pack 1 and I purchase REMOTE DESKTOP SERVICES CLIENT ACCESS LICENSES FOR MICROSOFT WINDOWS SERVER 2012 STANDARD AND DATACENTER. but the seller did not send me any installation CD or instruction
on how to use it.
Please how can I use it on my window 7 professional service pack 1.
Thank you.

Though Bill is absolutely correct for most CALs, Remote Desktop Services does have its own special licensing server. I haven't installed one on 2012, yet, but here is a step-by-step guide for 2008.

Here is a lab guide for 2012 -
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj134160.aspx
But, the explanation of your environment begs the question - what are you trying to do? You say you have a desktop OS and you are talking about Windows Server products. In that light, your question does not make a lot of sense.

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 - Pinch and Zoom compatibility with Microsoft Access

Hi guys, not sure which forum to place this into but here we go.
We use Windows 8.1 tablets and RDP to a 2012 R2 Remote Desktop Server, we can pinch and zoom with Office 2007 Excel, Word without issues.
I would like to know if there is a list of programs that's compatible with pinch and zoom because it looks to me like Microsoft Access (2007 version) isn't compatible with pinch and zoom but I need proof for my IT manager.
Can you tell me if I should be able to pinch and zoom a database windows within MS Access?

Hi,
As per my research there is no such description whether which program compatible with pinch and zoom but still as this seems more relate to tablet question. You can ask your comment over there for more perfect answering.

Remote Desktop Session Host USB Redirection with Windows 8.1

Hello all,
I've currently setup this environment (both OS/Client are fully up to date as of today). I am using one server as the Gateway, Web Access, Connection Broker and RD Session Host with one collection.
I am trying to get USB redirection setup to work properly. Some devices work (pen drives/iPhone etc), but other devices (we have a smart card reader we are testing that works natively on my Windows 8 machine) that doesn't appear.
I see conflicting information wherever I go on the internet on how to get this working. Some places suggest modifying the registry on the client machine, other places suggest you need to add a customrdpproperty to the collection.
What is the proper way to get this working on 2012 R2 with Windows 8.1?

Hi Gavin,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
For redirecting USB on server 2012 R2 is to set the custom property for a session collection by using following command.
Set-RDVirtualDesktopCollectionConfiguration –CollectionName YourCollectionName –CustomRdpProperty "usbdevicestoredirect:s:{6bdd1fc6-810f-11d0-bec7-08002be2092f }"
where {6bdd1fc6-810f-11d0-bec7-08002be2092f} is the System-Defined Device Setup Class GUID.
More information.
RemoteFX USB Redirection in Windows Server 2012 and Windows 8
Apart from above also refer below links for information.
1. Smart Card and Remote Desktop Services
2. Why can't I see my local smartcard readers when I connect via RDP?
Hope it helps!
Thanks.

Remote Desktop Admin 3.2 Freezes with Spinning Wheel

I have an Intel MacBook and Intel iMac, both with 10.5.1 installed. I use them to admin a classroom full of iMacs. After logging onto the computers today I noticed that I can not get Remote Desktop to function. Every time I open it I get the spinning color wheel that never stops. I can not do anything with it. I made sure I had the latest updates to the software. Still nothing. I reset my PRAM and Power manager. No Luck. I reinstalled the application. No luck. I manually removed everything emote desktop related and then reinstalled and still no luck. Anyone have any solution advice.

I am also having the same issue on 2 machines. A MacBook Pro and a MacPro. When I look in the console, this is what I see :

I have Remote Desktop loaded on my i pad. i am trying to change the address on the Remote Desktop to find my pc with a new address. any ideas

Any ideas out there?

I believe you are referring to some other program. Apple Remote Desktop is Apple's software for managing networked Macs and does not run on an iPad. I'd suggest you repost your question in the iPad forum, detailing what app you actually have.

How to install the Remote Desktop Services role on a Windows 2012 R2 Server

Hello,
I am a bit confused on how to install the RDP role on a 2012 R2 server. I have a two server domain and would like to make the second member server an RDP server to host applications (Word, Excel, a medical software, etc.) where users from their windows
7 desktop will use the Remote Desktop Connection to connect to the server, create a session and do their work. When installing the role, I am prompted with two options:
1- Role-based or feature based installation
2- Remote Desktop services installation
I see the RDP install option in both cases.
1- Which one do I use?
2- What role services do I install? (Connection broker, Gateway, Licensing, Session Host, Virtualization host and Web access). I think I need the first four only.
3- When installing software after RDP, I use the Change user /install and Change user /execute commands. What happens to the software that is already installed? Can remote
users use those?
Any help will be very much appreciated.
Thank You,
Victor.

TP,
Thank you for your response. I added the RD Licensing thru the Role-based option.
Also opened the local group policy thru gpedit.msc and added the server name and the licensing mode type to Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Remote Desktop Services -> Remote Desktop Session
Host -> Licensing
Use the specified RD license servers = NameOfMyServer
Set the Remote Desktop licensing mode = TypeOfMyLicense (Per User in my case)
Thank you again,
Victor

Apple Remote Desktop - how to change the date and time server ip address?

Our imacs keep getting out of synch with our Windows Active Directory server and when they do, users can no longer log into the imacs. The imacs this morning were more than 5 minutes fast, for example.
So, we have changed the date and time server on one of our imacs to our internal time server and that works fine. Now I would like to update all of the other imacs using a unix command in ARD. Can anyone tell me how to send this change? For this message, let's say our internal time server is 172.30.100.100

Not a problem. There are a number of other system and network setup commands that you might find useful at some time. From within the Remote Desktop Admin in the Send Unix Command window type:
networksetup -help
systemsetup -help
That will give you lists of the commands, including the one I posted above, with their basic syntax. They're handy to know.
Cheers.

Remote Desktop Connection between Windows Mobile 6.5 and server 2012

Hi all,
We have problem with remote desktop connection. The server that I want to connect is 2012 R2.
We have no trouble with server 2008. I searched from internet, there are solutions on server side(I am not sure if these suggestions solve the problem), but our customers don’t want to solve this problem
on server side because it is diffucult and risky.
Is there a solution on handheld terminal side to do?
Operating system: WM 6.5 classic(Professional o.s. has no effect, same error continues)
Any help will be appreciated from your side.
With Best Regards.

Hi,
What is the precise error message you are seeing? What are the exact symptoms?
I don't remember what version of RDP/featureset is supported by Windows Mobile 6.5. Perhaps the client does not support Network Level Authentication, which is required by default on Server 2012 R2. You can enable non-NLA connections by
unchecking Allow connections only from computers with Network Level Authentication in Server Manager -- RDS -- Collections -- Properties of collection -- Security tab.
Lack of NLA may not be the cause of the issue you are experiencing, however, if it is the only way to solve it would be to change the server setting or to potentially install a new client on the device that supports NLA.

Remote Desktop Virtualization Host does not have a license server

I'm receiving an error when attempting to connect to a virtual desktop that is part of a virtual desktop collection. The server that hosts the virtual desktop collection also hosts a session host collection and the RD licensing server. The event log of the
server issues event 1156 "The Remote Desktop Virtualization Host server does not have a Remote Desktop license server specified. To specify a license server for the Remote Desktop Virtualization Host server, use the RDS module for Windows PowerShell."
The RD Licensing Manager indicates that volume licenses have been installed and are available as seen below. The RD Licensing Diagnoser indicates no issues.
I found a MS blog entry for Windows 2008 R2 that indicates the following: "Because there is no GUI interface for specifying licensing configuration on an RD Virtualization Host server, support has been provided in Windows PowerShell to enable this scenario.
As a result, a VDI administrator who does not want the (RemoteFX-enabled) RD Virtualization Host server’s licensing settings to be
centrally managed (from the RD Connection Broker server) can manually configure these settings on the RD Virtualization Host server(s) in the VDI deployment by using the following Windows PowerShell cmdlets:", but I'm not sure if this applies to Windows
2012 as well.
Thanks.
Dale
Dale Smith

Hi Dale,
Based on my research, please try to use this PowerShell command to set the RD licensing server.
Set-RDLicenseConfiguration -LicenseServer
Server FQDN -Mode PerUser
Set-RDLicenseConfiguration
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj215465.aspx
Also, please note that the RDVH server must be a member of a VDI collection.
Hope this helps.

Remote Desktop Services Single SSL Cert with multiple hosts

I am trying to use a single SSL Cert from a third party issuer. I have 3 servers in my deployement all are 2012R2. One contains the RD Web Access role, RD Gateway role, RD Licensing role, and RD Connection Broker role. The other 2 are
RD Session Hosts. I have the SSL cert for the server that has the Gateway and other roles. My deployement is primarily focused on deploying RemoteApp to Windows 8 Thin clients with GPO through the default URL. It works currently with the
exception that the user gets a certificate mismatch error because it is seeing the cert for the gateway server but is connecting to the host servers so the names don't match. Is anyone else using a similar setup and had success with it? I am trying
to avoid buying an expensive wildcard cert to cover all of them.

Hi,
Please verify that the .rdp file embedded in the RDWeb IE page matches the same one from RADC. To do this, log on to RD Web Access using IE, right-click and choose View Source. Find the goRDP function for the icon you want to examine and copy
the text between the ' marks. Next paste this into the escape text box the below page:
http://www.web-code.org/coding-tools/javascript-escape-unescape-converter-tool.html
Click complete unescape to get the plain text version. After that you can select all of the text in the clear text box, paste it into a blank Notepad window, then save as a .rdp file. Once you have the .rdp file created you can compare
it to the other ones and see if any of the names are different, see if it gets the certificate error as well when you double-click it, etc.
Do you have any proxy or other non-default network configuration on your Windows 8 embedded clients?
Thanks.

Remote Desktop Initiating Command Line Software Update to local server

Hi there-
We have a Software Update server (Mac OS X 10.4.4 Server) that works great. I'm trying to initiate a software update on a lab of 20 computers with ARD through the "send unix command." Now, because it's a software update, you need admin privs to install the software.
I'm initiating the command line software update as root so that it will install without prompting for a password (and not having to type one in 20 times).
However, as root user or any other admin the Open Directory setting to have the computer point at our local software update server is ignored. Is there any way around this other than not allowing administrators ignore management settings?
There doesn't seem to be any way to tell the software update command line utility what server to look at.
Any ideas?

I had the same problem and came up with this solution. Create this text file and then copy it to /Library/Managed Preferences/root/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist on each workstation. Replace the <<your server here>> with the address of your actual software update server.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

Remote Access Management Console - configuration issue with Network Location Server

2012 Std R2
The remote Access management console operation status shows all green except for network location server .
Error: There is no response from the network location server URL. DirectAccess connectivity might not work as expected, and DirectAccess clients located inside the corporate network might not be able to reach internal resources.
Resolution listed as:
1. Configure the network location server on a server that is highly available to clients on the internal network.
2. If the network location server is running on the Remote Access server, ensure that IIS is running, and that the URL is available.
The remote access server is located on this server. IIS is running. What URL: show I be looking at?
Any other thoughts so I can get remote access working.
l also am getting a remote access error for IPV6, could this be a cause:

Hi John,
please follow the steps to reinstall TCP/IP stack.
1.Restart your PC into Safe Mode with Networking.
2.
Edit your registry. Delete the following keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Services/Winsock
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Services/Winsock2
3.
Open the nettcpip.inf file in your %winroot%/inf folder
(%winroot% is usually c:/windows).
Find the [MS_TCPIP.PrimaryInstall] section. Change the Characteristics value from 0xA0 to 0x80.
Open the properties of the network connection you want to fix. In the General tab, click on the Install button. Click on the Have Disk button, and point the location to %winroot%/inf. After that select TCP/IP (not version 6).
4.
Now you would notice that you can uninstall TCP/IP!
Do that, then restart the PC.
Go back to your network connection, and install TCP/IP again as per the above. After another reboot, you should be up and running.
I also noted that the XP network repair tool may yank out the ISA 2004 firewall client stuff. Just run the firewall clinet repair or install it again to fix that problem after you did your reboot. Before you do this kind of crazy stuff.
5.
This along with a TCP/IP reset using the netsh command:
netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt
wish you have a nice thanksgiving too
Regards,
Mike
