Remote Desktop Settings missing from Remote Tab of System Settings

My Screen:
What it should be:
Good day, all. Please I need urgent help here. I have a problem using Remote Desktop.
My system is a 64-bit Windows 7 Ultimate with SP1 preinstalled.
Let me give us a synopsis of the problem.
Since the system was purchased, I have never had to remote into it. But I have used it to remote desktop to other PCs (that is, I have never used
it has a host, only as a client). However, last week I decided to set it up so that I can remotely connect to it. I went to the Remote Tab in System settings, and I discovered the bottom half was missing - only Remote Invitation settings were displayed.
I searched the web to try to solve the problem myself. I could only come up with 2 causes, generally:
If the system is Home Premium or below, which is certainly not the case here. It is the Ultimate version I have.
Some people complained that they had the exactly the same problem after installing SP1, and that when they uninstalled it, the Remote Desktop settings in Remote Tab of System settings came back.
However, I can't uninstall SP1 since it came preinstalled, and then that is not an option for me, given it contains several security fixes and updates.
Also some people said
the problem was solved be re-entering a correct product key for Windows, and re-activating Windows (+reboot).
I have tried this but did not get the required help.
My system is fully updated with all Microsoft patches till date, which means I have RDP 8.0 and RDP 8.1 client installed.
I have also tried
re-registering the dll: (regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\remotepg.dll),
to no avail.
I have checked the registry settings, Windows Firewall and made sure the remote desktop services are running in services.msc.
All these I have tried.
As I said, I have no problem connecting as a client to other systems. The issue is connecting to this system, by setting RDP here, but the settings
are missing.
Please, what is the solution? I don't want a clean install, or anything that would require to start re-updating the system.
I prefer a direct tackle of this error
(Definitely, a windows component is corrupted).
Thank you very much, and God bless.
P.S: I have read ALL the other threads that are similar to this, but NONE of them has SOLVED my problem.
So, please, please, do not delete my thread or mark it as answered until this problem has been solved, please.
I need a WORKING SOLUTION to this please.
Once again, thanks and God bless.

Hi,
Let’s uninstall the RDP 8.0 first, then check the result:
wusa.exe /uninstall /kb: 2592687
It would roll back to RDP 7.0.
Also, run SFC command:
Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files

Is it possible to get Remote Desktop to work from my Surface 2 to a local PC running Vista?

Is it possible to get Remote Desktop to work from my Surface 2 to a local PC running Vista?
I keep getting "cannot find PC" entering IP or PC name
but as a test I have set up my PC to do web hosting, and I can browse to the IP address using desktop IE and see my local web pages.
I've just found a reference that says it has to be Business Vista.
Why would Microsoft put such a STUPID restriction in?
I think this Surface thing is going to go back if so.
What about Win8 64 Pro? Will that work?

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Yeah, windows 8 pro can connect to surface 2. There is detailed article guide for it, please check below link.

Why is the panorama tab button missing from my tab bar

Just downloaded Beta 4 and find the panorama button is missing from the tab bar. Your video showing how to manipulate tabs show the button on the right hand side of the tab bar, on my download it is missing why, also some of the other bars shown in your video are missing to, why??

You can add it if you want, right-click on a toolbar and select Customize. You can then drag and drop the "Tab Groups" icon from the customize toolbar dialog onto the toolbars. You can use this method to add other icons to the toolbars.

Apple Remote Desktop Win XP, Apple Remote Desktop Win XP

Hello Everbody!
I would like to use Apple Remote Desktop 3 to view also the PC computers (XP and 7) on my network.
Could you tell me how can i set up Apple Remote Desktop and PCs please?
Thanks
Giovanni

I would suggest that you not do so and instead use Microsoft's remote desktop connection solution to view your Windows systems. But if you really want to use ARD, you would need to install a VNC client on your Windows systems. I'm not sure what VNC clients work with the latest version of ARD, but if you search this forum for "VNC" you may find some suggestions.
Regards.

Windows 8.1 Update - Remote Desktop missing from Remote Tab

I recently purchased a new Lenovo G780 with Windows 8. I updated to Windows 8.1 this past weekend.
I was surprised to find the "Remote Desktop" section (on Remote tab in System Properties) was missing. I can see "Remote Access Assistance" but not "Remote Desktop". Note that I can run Remote Desktop to connect to another computer, but w/out this setting I am UNABLE to accept incoming remote desktop requests.
I did find a link related to my very same issue, though for an earlier windows version.
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/e51a7001-85f7-4578-af65-6dee5a35c261/...
I have same symptom, just newer OS I can only surmise that my Windows 8.1 update messed something up. It may be possible this was the situation before I updated to Windows 8.1, as I don't think I messed with that setting.
Does anyone know of a fix? Apparently re-inputting the Product Key (and reactivating Windows) might help solve but I don't have a Product Key for Windows 8...will Lenovo supply that?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi dsmall2112,
I think you answered your own question again. The upgrade from Win 8 basic will only go to 8.1 basic. The key you have will only work on the Win. 8 basic and the upgrade to 8.1 will still only give you 8.1 basic, with that key.
In order to get Win 8.1 Pro features, you will have to buy a Win 8.1 Pro key.
Regards,
Dave

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.

The remote desktop session host configuration & Remote session shadowing options missing in Windows server 2012.

Hi All,
I am using a Windows server 2012 Standard. When i leave my session idle for more than 20 min it disconnects and post more 20 minutes my session is logged off.
I know this setting can be changed from Remote desktop session host configuration in Windows server 2008 R2. But this option "Remote desktop session host configuration" is not there in Windows server 2012. Does any one have an idea where do i go
and edit these settings in the Server 2012 o/s ?
Also the Remote session shadowing option is also not available when i right click a user in the task manager. Any idea on an alternate method in Windows server 2012 ?

Exactly WHERE are the W2K12 R2 equivalent GPO settings to W2K8 R2 GPO settings of "Set time limit for disconnected sessions" and "set time limit for active but idle Remote Desktop Services
sessions"? Microsoft changed the remote desktop/terminal services around.
Appreciate it.

How can I get Apple Remote Desktop to disappear from my App Store updates list?

My Apple Remote Desktop software shows up in my App Store updates list. But I have already updated it to version 3.6.1 and it shows as "Installed". It is greyed out and will not go away. Any ideas on how to make it disappear is most appreciated.

All the suggestions I have read have not worked for me.
But you can try:
Running Software Update from the Apple Menu
Logging in to the Mac App Store with the account that purchased ARD
Deleting various Apple Store .plist files
NB I haven't tried removind ARD and reinstalling.

Events on remote disks are missing from event library

The iMovie events on remote disks are missing. I've looked for the com.apple.iMovieApp.plist file and it's missing (was a solution I found from earlier discussions). The icon for the remote disks shows a disk and a yellow caution symbol.
I have a directory on this remote drive with iMovie events. How can I reconnect these events back into iMovie?

Taking control with Remote Desktop Services Manager from workstation console

When I run Remote Desktop from the console of my computer Windows 7 I get a message saying that if I run this tool from the console some options are disabled as Remote Control and Connect.
Is there any way to enable these possibilities from the console?
Thanks, VOR

Hi,
No, there is no way to enable them for use from the console. These features
require that you be within a Remote Desktop session in order to use them. For RDP 8.0/8.1 sessions the situation is different in that you can now perform a shadow (Remote Control) by launching mstsc.exe with
command line switches even from the console.

Remote desktop to mac from another mac

Hi
I have 24" inch intel iMac and a 15.4" MBP. I am wondering whether there is any way to control iMac from my MBP.
I am able to use Chicken VNC to control iMac. But it is painful to use. The iMac has 1980x1020 resolution whereas my MBP has 1400x900 I think. It keeps scrolling the screen. It was painful.
I am looking for something better. Something that is atleast as good as Microsoft remote desktop or Cord.
What are my options?
Apple Remote desktop: Is it free?
I appreciate your help.
Thanks

If you're going from Mac to Mac, you don't need to download anything.
On your source machine (the one you want to control), just go to Sys Prefs -> Sharing and tick "Screen Sharing".
Then on the target Mac (the one that you will be controlling from), you should be able to see it on your local network. When you connect to it, you should see an option in that window to go to Screen Sharing. Authenticate yourself as the user on the source machine, and you're in! The screen can automatically scale to put the whole of your source screen on your target screen.

Remote desktop services 2012 R2 remote(external) users having issues

First time poster,
here is my issue might be a long winded one as I have been working on this for over 2 weeks.
I have installed and configured RDS on a brand new install of server 2012 R2 everything on it seems to checks out. All Licences are installed and SSL is in and trusted. I have a third party cert that is install and working this checks out when I log into
RDWEB remotely. I have no error messages or errors in the event viewer I can find that tell me what the issue might be. Internally everything works well and for the bulk of my users(so far all windows 7 machines) externally seems to be working. I have two
users in separate locations one at a hotel and another one at home(Myself) both are only ones running windows 8.1 pro. we can log into RDWEB and get published ICONS but when we click on them it starts the RDP session and just sits there. My windows 8.1 pro
works inside the network via separate VPN or at the office.

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Are you using RD Gateway in your environment? If yes, then please uncheck the option “Bypass RD Gateway server for local address” from server manager.
Can you able to connect from full desktop from outside if you manually specify your RD Gateway FQDN in the Connect from Anywhere section of the Remote Desktop Client, with Bypass RD Gateway for local addresses unchecked?
Do you have properly forwarded port which needs to work from outside network (TCP port 443 and UDP port 3391)?
In addition, please configure the DefaultTSGateway setting for the Remote Desktop tab. This setting can be configured from IIS manager, select Sites\Default Web Site\RDWeb\Pages > Application Settings >DefaultTSGateway> specify the FQDN for your
RD Gateway.
Hope it helps!
Thanks.

Remote Desktop Apps via Andriod Remote Resource

Hi,
My remote desktop was working fine along with the Android app that connection to remote resources. The servers certificate was not renewed in time, so I went through getting all that replaced. I got that working in the IIS, exported the certificate from
IIS and imported it back into the remote desktops settings under the 4 titles : RD Connection Broker - enable single sign on, rd connection broker - publishing, rd web access, rd gateway. They are all trusted and ok.
So when I use the webpage to access the remote desktop apps with a PC it all works fine. no issues with certificates it just works. However when I come to use the remote resources in the android app, the apps appear, when you click on them it runs through
a connection splash screen then just disappears. No error, nothing. It says connection rdp, negotiating connection, connecting rdp then just disappears.
I have tried clearing the data and cache to remote desktop app, made no difference.
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks
MyPchealth

Hi,
Please check whether you have successful login connection to remote resource?
In addition please provide the log for further research.
Login in the APP, then go to settings, under 'support' there is an option ‘Send log via email’ and then it will reach to the email inbox which is provided.
Hope it helps!
Thanks.
