Remote Desktop TS ports keep changing

I am using a windows 8 pro to RDP to a windows 7 machine. I also have a printer on the windows 8 machine that is connecting and I installed a printer on the windows machine using the ts port for connection and works fine all software is able to print to
the printer with no issues. Problem is when you log off and back on again the ts port changes and it will not print without going into the printer on the windows 7 machine and changing the ts ports. But not everyone has admin rights so they can't just do that.
Is there a way to lock the ts port that the printer is assigned when connected using RDP? Thanks.

Hello jtlacroix,
If my understanding is right, the TS port changes when you log off and back on again, and you need to change the TS port in Windows 7.
Please run the printer troubleshooter in Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Troubleshooting\All Categories
For more information, please refer to the following thread similar to this issue.

How Do You Change the Remote Desktop Listening Port in Win 8.1 Pro

I am trying to setup two Win 8.1 Pro computers for Remote Desktop access on my local network. I can get Remote Desktop working fine on both when they are using the default RD port 3389. I am unable to change the listening port on one of the computers so
that I can access either via a public Internet connection. I change the listening port in the Registry, reboot the computer and verify that the port number has been changed BUT the computer still responds to the old port 3389 and can't connect via the new
port number. I added a Firewall rule for the new port, but that did NOT solve the problem.
I have followed the procedure below and verified in the Registry that the port is changed but the Remote Desktop remains accessible only on the default port 3389. The new port number in the Registry is 39699. I used a network scanner and it shows the computer
is still listening on port 3389 for Remote Desktop connections. Why is Win 8.1 Pro ignoring the new port number in the Registry and still responding on 3389? Is there another place in Win 8.1 Pro that the port also needs to be changed. I also added a new rule
in the Firewall to allow incoming requests on port 39699? This is a very frustrating problem, any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
I followed the procedure shown below.
Hi ,
Based on my test, we can change the listening port for Remote Desktop.
To change the port that Remote Desktop listens on, follow these steps.
1.Start Registry Editor.
2.Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\TerminalServer\WinStations\RDP-Tcp\PortNumber
3.On the Edit menu, click Modify, and then click Decimal.
4.Type the new port number, and then click OK.
5.Quit Registry Editor.
6.Restart the computer.
Meanwhile, please note, please type the new integer port number between 1025 and 65535 in the PortNumber text box.
And make sure the new port number is not in use by other application.
We may use the command below to check the result.
netstat -a
Also, we can use Network Monitor to trace the port.
Microsoft Network Monitor 3.4
Regards,

Hi,
There are two item that should be modified to change the default 3389 port:
One is: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\Wds\rdpwd\Tds\tcp]. Modify the PortNamber to the one you want.
The other is: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentContro1Set\Control\Tenninal Server\WinStations\RDP\Tcp]. Modify the PortNumber to the one you want.
In your case, you missed the first one.

Apple Remote Desktop multiple ports on one address / ip

I am using Apple Remote Desktop (ARD) version 3.5.1 and I want to add computers to the list. I have several virtual machines running on an VMWare ESXi host. VMWare enables screen sharing via VNC but with different ports for different VMs.
So I have this:
ESXi host ip : xxx.xxx.xxx.xxxFirst VM vnc port: 5901Second VM vnc port: 5902 ....
I am able to connect to each those VMs via
open vnc://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:5901
I can also add the first VM to the ARD computer list. But when I add the second VM it overwrites the first VM because the ip address is the same. Is it possible to workaround this problem?
Thanks for your help!

I do not use the native vnc of each VM but instead use a screen sharing feature of the ESXi host (which is also included and works the same way in VMWare Fusion). So to connect to a VM I use the IP of the host machine and then different ports.
I am aware of the .vncloc-files option but I want to connect via the Apple Remote Desktop application.

Trying to download microsoft remote desktop and it keeps failing

trying to download microsoft remote desktop from the app store and midway through the install, i get a message that app failed to download and to try again from purchases, that also fails.

It happenned to me, too. I talked to apple support on the phone, and they helped me to get it download. which turned out to be a waste of my time because the microsoft remote desktop app doesn't work to begin with. even when it downloads, it will crash. it is just a buggy/ faulty program.

Port keeps changing

Every time I log out of Mail (3.6), or the computer goes to sleep, the port changes. My ISP says it is the software, not them. If I go to Mail Preferences, select Outgoing Mail Server, and pull down to Edit, then go to Advanced, there are two choices: Default and Custom. The ISP says I should use Custom and enter 25, although in the past I always used Default. The Custom 25 works fine until I log out, then it switches to 587 and won't send mail until I go thru the process again. Any idea how to configure the port so it doesn't keep switching? I'm on 10.5.7 and have never had this problem for years, using the same ISP.

I am having a similar problem.
I have Mail Version 3.6 (935/935.3) and have just connected with a new ISP with new modem/router and all. However, I doubt this is the problem, as it has never occurred before no matter what, where or how I am connected to the internet. Although the coincidence is suspicious.
I have my own website with email address, my host in US asks me to use Port 26. So, fine, i set it all up using the same methods mentioned above, try to send my email, it fails, I open it back up and the custom port number has changed? But... i can still receive emails??!!
Driving me nuts, any assistance please!

E65 email user defined port keeps changing

I have setup my Nokia e61 with email and I set the outgoing port to "User defined" and a port number of 465 and my email works fine. Then after an indefinate period I review the settings and it changes it back by itself to port 25 and my email stops working. Anyone seen this issue and know how to ensure the port stays on the value I set it?
Andrew

Anyway, please, let us continue with your original post …

Why does the RMI port keep changing?

I have set up an RMI server process on a Sun server (SunOS 5.8) and I am running the client process from another Sun server (SunOS 5.9). I created a policy file on the client machine providing access to port 1099 on the server machine.
I kept getting connection refusals, and every time I did, it was on a different port. I changed the policy file to allow any port from 1099 on up in order to get around the problem. I tried to start up the rmiregistry with 1099 as an argument, and that did not help. What's going on?
Jim

(a) You will always get a different client side port, that's normal.
(b) the Registry port is 1099 but RMI servers are exported on a system-selected port unless you specify one. If your Registry and RMI servers are in the same JVM they can share ports

With Apple Remote Desktop How can I change all the computer names

After a re-imaging session?. I would like to not have to visit each station and manually change the computer name.
Is this at all possible using ARD?

Hi
I don't use DeployStudio and know nothing about it. In terms of simply changing the names? Yes. Clearly not in the same way. You could use what's built-in on OSX Server if you have it? System Image Utility allows creation of nbis with an associated workflow that can define workstation names from a pre-prepared list of MAC Addresses and desired names as a Post-Install Action.
This is fairly well-documented in the Server Forum and elsewhere.
HTH?

Remote Desktop/Access shared files over PPTP VPN

Hello,
I just bought the RV180W so I can connect to my office computer from anywhere as a VPN client. The two things I need to do while I am connected as a VPN client is to be able to access my files on my office desktop and be able to remote desktop to it as well. I have Win7 on all of my computers. Ideally, I would like to do that over PPTP VPN connection but if that is not possible I can try Cisco QuickVPN software.
I enabled PPTP on my router and created a user account. I was also able to successfully establish the connection remotely. While I was connected as a PPTP VPN client, I was able to access the Internet and my router setup page which is telling me that the connection is good. However, I was not able to either discover my office PC under my network tab in Win7 nor I was able to remote desktop. I keep my office PC on all the time and it never go to sleep. I did not create any connection policy but maybe this is the problem. Please let me know if you know of a solution.
Thanks!

Hi David,
Thank you for the response.
I was able to access the router configuration using the local IP address (in my case 192.168.1.1). I don't think I would have been able to access it using the public IP address since I have the router remote management feature disabled.
Now after reading your email, I was finally able to remote desktop and access shared files through a PPTP VPN connection. Here is what I did:
1- I separted the PPTP VPN IP address range from my DHCP range (in my case, PPTP VPN range is 192.168.1.200 to 210 and my DHCP range is from 192.168.1.100 to 199)
2- I assigned my office desktop PC that I am trying to remote desktop to a fixed IP address (192.168.1.20)
3- For remote desktop, I had to type the IP address (192.168.1.20). Typing the PC name (officepc) or searching for was not working.
4- For shared files, I had to map a network drive as //192.168.1.20/My Pictures for example. I couldn't find my PC when searched for it under Network.
After doing all that, I was able to do kinda what I wanted. Ideally, I would have liked to avoid using fixed IP addresses and be able to access computers by their name and see them under the Network tab. Is their a way to do this? I noticed that RV220W offers SSL VPN, would that help me?
I would appreciate it if you could answer my last two questions.
Thanks!

Remote desktop not working "remotely"

I have a Windows 7 Ultimate computer I'm trying to access through Remote Desktop.
I'm able to access that computer from another computer when both are in the same LAN, but I fail to access it through the internet.
I already tried disabling windows firewall in the target computer to narrow it down, and it still fails. So the problem mustn't be in the firewall. Only I don't know where else to look.
Since I can access within the same LAN, I assume the Remote Desktop settings are fine.
This is what I did to attempt to access the pc over the internet:
- In my router's admin console, I set up port forwarding and port mapping to work with my target computer's local IP address and port 3389 (remote desktop's port):
- Then I used an IP lookup service to find my external IP address.
- I tried that IP:port combination on remote desktop, with the user name from the target pc I want to use (I also tried without entering the user name, but it also fails):
I always get an error message saying that remote desktop is not enabled, or the remote computer is turned off or not available on the network. The first two are false, since I can access the computer on a LAN and it is definitely not turned off.
The firewall on my router is disabled, so I really don't know where I'm going wrong.
Can anyone help, please?
Thanks!!

Hi Patr1c1a,
Did you check the radion button "Allow connections from computers running any version of Remote Desktop" on the recieving computer ?

OS X Microsoft Remote Desktop - Remapping shortcut CMD+W doesn't work as intended

Seeing the follwing issue in Microsoft Remote Desktop on OS X:
Changing shortcut for Close (window) CMD+W for the application in OS X System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts doesn't disable the original CMD+W shortcut as is expected. After changing, CMD+W is still closing windows.
This is working as expected for changing Quit Microsoft Remote Desktop from CMD+Q to other shortcut, where CMD+Q is not quitting the application after the change has been made.
This is unfortunate, as my "instinct" to quit applications on remote desktop when working from my Mac is to use CMD+W. This instead closes the remote desktop connection.

How to change Firewall remoted desktop port?

How to change Firewall remoted desktop port
I have changed the listening port in the registry.
I added a rule for incoming for RDT.
I can find the rules, and other items in the Firewall lists.
But I cannot find how to edit to change the port number.
Other threads indicate just added an open port not designating RDT as the program.
Guidance please.

>So, when inserting a new rule and choosing RDT from the program list automatically inserts the default port number?
My fault. You should not select RDT from the program list, but instead
select the radio button for port, then click next, select TCP, and add in
the port number, then next and continue on with setting allow connection
and then when does this rule apply.

Hi,
When you try to start the Remote Destop Connection, what errors it showed out?
Could the other PCs connect this PC with the RDC?
So you have read this blog?
RDP connections might fail due to a problem with KB2621440 - MS12-020
Did you reinstalled the KB2621440?
Besides, did you follow this guide to enable the RDC connection?
Connect to another computer using Remote Desktop Connection
And also this guide?
Why can’t I connect using Remote Desktop Connection?
Please take a check with those settings again.

Remote Desktop Ports Not Working

Hello, I am trying to set up my new laptop with Remote Desktop. I have Norton 360 on it and a linksys EA6900 router.
And this is all on my home network.
My issue is that I cant seem to connect to the laptop to the port 3391 I opened up on it. I have two other PCs that are wired
at 3389 and 3390 and are totally fine.
I changed the RDP port number in regedit to 3391. Forwarded the port to the laptops reserved IP (1.23.25.250) and I even allowed
the port in the firewall for norton and in windows firewall for fun.
Even doing all that I still cannot connect even though I did the same for my two other PCs and theyre fine.
I can for some reason ping everything out of my laptop but not to it.
Whrn I use a port checker tool it does say 3391 is not open but 3389 and 3390 are which is weird to me.
Hope someone can help out, thank you.

Hi cmcigas,
“I can for some reason ping everything out of my laptop but not to it”
To verify whether it is related to the firewall ,we can temporarily turn off the firewall to have a check .
Here is a link for reference of this issue
Nobody Can Ping My Computer
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc749323(v=ws.10).aspx
We may also need to run the built-in troubleshooter tool to have a diagnostic of the network .
Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Troubleshooting\Network and Internet\Network Adapter and Incoming Connections
" I even allowed the port in the firewall for norton and in windows firewall for fun."
How did you set the firewall ?
To set the firewall ,here is a link for reference
Open a port in Windows Firewall (It is an example in Windows 7,the Windows 8.1 can share the same step)

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.
