Remote desktop VM in Azure through VPN

I register my azure subscription in App Controller 2012 and I can now see the VM in Azure inside the portal.
I recently established a VPN connection from my side to Azure, with RRAS and everything is working properly (can ping machine from each
side and the other).
In the App Controller interface, with the button Remote Desktop I can connect to the VM in Azure through the other gateway (Virtual Public
IP) with correct endpoints configuration.
My question is: Is it possible to get the Remote Desktop button working as it would for VM in VMM register in App Controller, by avoiding
the Virtual Public IP and Endpoints and using directly the REAL ip?
Thanks,

Within App Controller the RDP connection uses the public IP of the virtual machine. There is not a configuration option to use an alternative IP.

Richard

Can't connect via remote desktop

Hello,
I'm using a late 2009 iMac running 10.6.8 and an AirPort Extreme 802.11n (4th Generation) running 7.5.2. Before I bought the AEBS, I was able to utilize Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection over a secure VPN network to access my work computer, which runs Windows 7 Professional.
After getting the AEBS, the VPN network still connects perfectly, but the RDC times out every time. If using an RDC client on my iPhone through the VPN over 3G, it still connects, nothing has changed with my work computer.
I'm typing in the work computer's IP address in the RDC client, and I have port forwarding for port 3389 set up in AirPort Utility to my iMac's static IP of 10.0.1.8.
I've read other message boards and have done everything I think I need to do. So what am I missing?
Thanks very much!

This is not a solution it is a nasty work around, all of your network traffic including internet access is going to go over your vpn, I don't know about you but just because I have a vpn session and remote desktop running, should not mean that I can't do personal stuff on my local system without it going through my employers servers. How do you get Remote Desktop to route via the VPN connection without turning on "Send all traffic over VPN connection"?

Remote desktop not working with WAAS

I've got the WAAS setup and i'm see ok acceleration between sites but I have a complete failure of remote desktop. I've had to place a deny statement in my access list on the remote sites router for port 3389 to exclude traffic from the WAAS to even be able to get an RDP connection to work. I've tried to tell the WAAS to just set Remote-Desktop traffic to pass through but still no luck. Any help would be appreciated.

Because Internet access is allowed directly from the remote sites the ACL below will only redirect traffic destined for private addresses to the 474 located at the remote site.
ip access-list extended WCCP-REDIRECT
     permit tcp 10.0.0.0 0.255.255.255 172.17.0.0 0.0.255.25

     permit tcp 172.17.0.0 0.0.255.255 192.168.0.0 0.0.255.255
By adding this I can force RDP to sort of work

     deny tcp any eq 3389

PXE Boot a client to connect to a Remote Desktop Session Host/Terminal Server Farm via SCCM 2007

Hi all,
we've got a bunch of old desktops which are destined for disposal but i was wondering if we couldn't use them as disk-free clients to connect to our Remote Desktop farm. I did some digging and have managed to put together an iso which will boot
the machine into WinPE and then connect to our farm. However, since it's an iso i have to use either a cd or usb for this to work. (This is pretty much what i did: http://www.iammacgyver.com/2011/02/easy-rdp-60-from-winpe-30-simple-boot.html)
What i want to do is to advertise the boot.wim to the client via SCCM so that it boots via PXE and then picks up the WinPE image and connect to the RD farm. I've imported the boot.wim file into SCCM under Boot Images and created an empty Task Sequence
with the boot.wim as its Boot Image. I then advertised this Task Sequence to a collection which contains the old desktop clients. The machine PXE boots ok and loads up WinPE but rather than launch a remote desktop connection, it trundles through the normal
WinPE stages and once it's finished 'Preparing Network Connections' it simply ends and the client reboots.
Is what i'm trying actually possible?
Can anyone tell me why the ISO works yet pushing the boot.wim out as a Boot Image doesn't? I know the boot.wim file (which is the same one present in the ISO) is ok since the client boots into WinPE fine when PXE booted so why doesn't the remote
desktop session conenction launch? How is booting from the ISO different from booting from the PXE boot.wim file?
Slightly long winded problem so many thanks in advance to anyone who can pass some info my way!

It doesn't work because importing it into ConfigMgr injects binaries and the task sequence engine along with the process to launch the engine thus suppressing whatever you've got configured.
Perhaps you could use a pre start command (pre-execution hook in 2007 parlance) to launch your RDP process though.

Unable to access Standalone VM via Remote Desktop through a VPN

Good Morning everyone, now here is my problem.
My company is a small software development house and we test our software on Win 7 or 8 VM's running on standalone (ie not on the domain) VM's. We are running the VM's on WS2012 R2 Hyper V and when we are inside the building we are able to Remote Desktop
onto these VM's direct without any problem. The problem comes when we want to RD onto the VM's when working from home via the VPN. When we try to connect to the VM's via RD through the VPN the Remote Desktop Connection fails with the following alert "Remote
Desktop can't find the computer '[Computers Name]'. This might mean that '[Computers Name]' does not belong to the specified network. Verify the computer name and domain that you are trying to connect to." The only way I can connect to the VM's is
by going onto the host server and access the VM's via Hyper V manager and use it that way.
Now when I try to connect to a VM that is running on the Domain via the VPN I connect without any problems at all.
So my question is why can I connect to standalone VM's via RD without any problems when in the office but when I am at home via VPN I can't but I can connect to VM's on the domain without any problems? What do I need to do to make this work?
Phil

Hi Darren,
I have just tested it and when at work I can ping by name a named server and the standalone VM without any problems.
But when I connect from the outside via the VPN I am still able to ping by name a named server but not the stand alone server. Nor can I ping the IP address of the standalone VM although I can connect to a standalone VM using its IP address via RDC

New to server, need VPN for remote desktop and file share...

I've set up server and have the VPN working, I think, I need to have several outside systems join the servers VPN permanently to allow for file sharing and remote desktop. I don't want the "normal" internet browsing to go through the VPN (huge slow down) I have read that a "split DNS" or "split tunnel" is what I need, then to disable "send all traffic over VPN connection" option on each remote system. I was a little confused after reading on how to do this on Leopard server (the only instructions I found) but have absolutely no idea on how to do this on Snow Leopard server (the server I set up is 10.6) any assistance would be great, thanks in advance.

Server Admin, VPN, Settings, Client Information, Network Routing Definition.
Here add a private network record type that matches your LAN/VPN ip.
For example
IP Address: 192.168.0.0
Mask: 255.255.255.0
Type: Private
You can find more informations about this feature in Snow Leopard Server documentation:
http://images.apple.com/server/macosx/docs/NetworkServices_Adminv10.6.pdf

Apple Remote Desktop and controlling over VPN

Hi All,
I had a question about whether something was possible and if so if someone could point me to instructions/how-to on setting it up.
I have three Macs I am administering. One is an iMac that stays in the office on the network. Two are MBP's. One is always at a remote location, the other comes in and out of the office. I work remotely administering the server and the three systems. I have the latest version of Apple Remote Desktop and obviously can access the server fine. I was wondering though if there is any way besides having the person give me their IP address every time that through the VPN I can see their system, then access it in Remote Desktop just like we are on the network together? Basically they connect to the network via VPN if they are remote and I do the same thing and then access their machine.
I hope that makes sense. I went through different parts of the guide for ARD but didn't come across a method like that described in there.
Anyone with opinions? Thoughts? Chants of I'm an idiot? haha
Thanks

Yeah for some reason I cannot get this to work right. Even if I scan the 5 VPN IP's I have setup I cannot see their machines when I am connected to the VPN. I tested it the other day by connecting one of the systems to an outside internet connection, then logged it into the VPN. I then connected my own to a different source and logged into the VPN, but Remote Desktop just won't find it.
Just not sure why it doesn't work. I can see the computers on our internal network though, just not any connected via VPN.

HP Laserjet 1020 not working through remote desktop

I have a hp laserjet 1020 that I am vpn and remote desktop to a computer at work. I am suupose to be able to print from remote desktop to my local printer (the hp laserjet 1020) using the microsoft terminal Easy Print. The printer is showing up in the printer list, but when I try to print I get an error of Printer not ready. The printer is working fine on the local machine, just not through the remote desktop. I have install the printer drivers on the machine that I am remoting into , just to make sure. Is there anything else I can try. I am not finding any firewalls on either end blocking it?

After many months of frustration and 7 1/2 hours with Microsoft advanced prof support I've finally pinned down this printer and a slew of others. This problem as far as I have come across deals exclusively with HP printers. In simple terms: the drivers are flawed. This 1022 is a prime example. It prints locally and via TCP/IP just fine. I have about 7 other printers and dummy printers in my printer folder. Enter a remote desktop session and ALL of them populate except the 1022. This shows that the hooks and RDT finders are locating your printers and installing them properly as remote printers. All except the 1022.
Log out of your RDT session: goto the local 1022 setup and change the printer driver to a PCL driver. I used a 1200 PCL driver. Now log back into your RDT server and hockus pocus! there is your printer. Totally un-usable because the driver will not run this printer. Caveat: each time I did this XP crashed (I couldn't get to the properties TAB anymore -- I had to un-install the 1022 and then re-install it with at least 1 reboot in the process)
Moving on we go to the HP OfficeJet/LajerJet2840. Same thing. It won't pass through as remote printer in RDT. Go local. Set the printer driver to AppleLaserWriter8500 and boom. (same logout, change, back in steps) and your LJ2840 shows up and works.
While I will have to wait until tomorrow I am betting that this will fix the exact same problem with the HP Officejet 8500A all in one with the exact same problem.
Hey HP? Whats with the drivers??
Another work around if you have a static enough environment is to install your local printer that will not show up under RDT on the server, and then point the port to your fixed IP on your router, and passthru port 9100 to your locally installed printer that is failing. You can now be on RDT and chooses the network printer that is printing to the TCP address of your home (or office) router.

4150L - Works on web, but can not connect via VPN or Remote Desktop

Recently purchased a 4150L and installed the latest firmware. We have been able to access all public websites without any problems. But, when we try and access our customers computers via VPN (various types) or Remote Desktop, we can't connect. We can sign-in to VPN, but when we try and access the computer, it says "can't connect". Exact same message with Remote Desktop. We are able to connet when use a Verizon phone as a hotspot and from every other internet service that we have tried (i.e. hotels, starbucks, etc.) It appears it is an issue with the 4150L.
Verizon Tech Support has been no help!
All ideas are appreciated!
Thanks,
Skip

Skip,
VPN traffic should be allowed through on the MiFi 4510L by default. I know I do not have any issues with mine on either the Cisco IPSec or Cisco SSL VPN Clients.
If Verizon DNS is interferring then perhaps you could try to connect to your VPN via a direct IP Address instead of a URL. Not sure what VPN client you have but there should be a No DNS option to connect if you know the correct IP. You could also try switching your DNS to one of the free ones such as the one offered by Google or any of the others.
VPN's carry alot of overhead on existing connections in my experience. Its not untypical to have a 3G connection cut in half when a VPN is applied. Try running a speed test to make sure your connection is atleast 1 MB on download before initiating a connection. If the performance of the MiFi is too poor in that area it may never be stable enough to support a connection. Feel free to post some Speedtest.net averages so we can see what you are working with.
Something to note about the MiFi 4510L is that it is on the SIM card network. That means that NAT is always going to be an issue and block your users from providing a truely public IP Address. Directly remoting to them through any means will be nearly impossible.

Desperately Need Help: Why won't remote desktop work w/VPN to a PC?

I am seriously losing my mind and the IT people at my job are clueless. I am not that sophisticated but, when it comes to macs, I might as well be a genius in comparison to them. At work I have a PC running Windows Vista. I have installed on my Mac (running Mavericks) VPN through Netextender. I can connect to VPN with no problems. However, when I try to login thru remote desktop, it tells me my work computer cannot be reached. My work computer is most certainly on and reachable. I desperately need to figure this out!! Please help!

Hi Gailkav,
Welcome to the Forums
As per the query we understood that you are facing issue with USB in your Lenovo B50-30 laptop.
Try to connect other USB devices like pen drive, external HDD and check if that is been recognized,
Try to boot the system into safe mode and check for the issue.
Hope this helps. Do post back if the issue persists!
Best regards,
Ashwin. S

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!

Accessing Xserve Desktop Out Of Network via VPN or Remote Desktop

Hi everyone,
Thanks a lot for taking the time to look at my question.
I'm trying to figure out how I would set up an Xserve so that it could operate on a work network while allowing users to access it away from work (at their houses) with a login and password that I've set up in the Xserve. That way they can access specific applications on the server.
I've searched through the forums and other documentation already with moderate success. Apparently I don't NEED a static IP address for my Xserve but it would make it easier. It seems that the most highly recommended solution is setting up a VPN.
So after some further research, I found that the VPN can be set up directly within the OSX server but I'm unclear on how to actually allow it to do what I'm trying to do. I don't want my external users to be able to have any admin rights -- I basically want them to remote desktop into a user account on the xserve with no ability to change any settings, but to access one application on it so they can run that application on the server.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

If I understand your request correctly, what you want cannot be done out of the box.
Despite Mac OS X Server's ability to support multiple users, it's still limited to one GUI environment/desktop. That means that there's only one set of GUI apps that can run at a time.
You could have multiple users log on using Remote Desktop, but they'd all see the exact same thing. In addition, actions (key presses, mouse movements, etc.) by any one user would be reflected on every other screen, so it's not practical to have multiple users trying to use the same GUI environment.
You need to more clearly define what it is you're trying to achieve. Why, for example, are you trying to run applications remotely over the internet, given the additional latency inherent in this kind of setup)? What do you expect to gain?
More importantly, what application(s) are you trying to run?
Some applications support remote processing (e.g. an application you run locally on your machine submits a job to the server for processing, based on the idea that the server is a more powerful machine).
Other apps support collaboration where multiple users can share the same data and updates are dynamically reflected on other clients.
There are some hacks that emulate multiple desktops, and they might work for you, but you need a better understanding of what you're trying to do.

Control alt delete from remote desktop connection through virtual pc windows xp on windows 7 professional

Ok this is an odd one but I am connecting to a server through a vpn which only works on windows xp so I ran a virtual pc instance to connect, and then did a remote desktop connection to the server (Windows server 2008). I need to be able to activate the
control-alt-delete combination on the server however, to change a password. ctrl + alt + del obviously goes back to my actual machine, and ctrl + alt + end acts on my virtual pc. Is there any way to push the command through to the remote server?

Hi Cooljoe,
Based on my understanding, local machine control-alt-delete key combination is control-alt-delete.
Virtual PC's control-alt-delete key combination is Right Alt - Delete.
Remote Destop session's control-alt-delete key combination is ctrl + alt +
end.
There should be no conflicts between them.

Wilson Jia

Connecting _from_ a windows machine through remote desktop?

I have a os x server set up so that users can get to it through vpn by logging into a specific account ( lets call it remote_user ). The users are on windows machines, and they get remote desktop running, at which point the problems start. Instead of seeing the remote_user's desktop, they see whatever happens to be on the screen at the time, even the Administrator's account, if that happens to be logged in. Furthermore, these users have full control over even the Administrator's account and are able to do whatever the administrator might be able to do locally. Is this normal behavior or is there something I should be doing otherwise. Thanks in advance!

Further details:
the server is running on a mac mini, the internal interface is the built-in ethernet, the external interface is a usb-ethernet adapter connected directly to a cable modem. on the internal network there is a windows computer which has a program which needs to be run remotely. for this, a vpn connection to the server is established (using the vpn module in the server admin) and then the server is accessed though the virtual network that is created. the server runs wonderfully when left alone. however, when a vpn connection is made, the server lives for about 10 minutes and then freezes up. if no account is logged in on the server, the login window becomes unresponsive. if, for example, the administrator is logged in and is watching the server admin window, the server refreshes and remains that way, in a permanent refresh. if you have a preview window open reading a pdf, you are able to scroll though the pdf. you are, however unable to access any menus in the menu bar, nor start any new programs from the dock. the only way to get things up and running again is to hold down the power button. the last bit of bad news is that even after restart, the only way to get vpn up is to manually shut it down in the server administrator and to start it up again. i hope this can be resolved somehow. thanks in advance!

Remote Desktop to Windows 8 (in Azure) using a Windows Live Account

This took me a while to find this answer so posting it again in case it help anybody and also perhaps somebody has a suggestion of a better way to do it.
I spun up a Windows 8 Pro VM in Azure (using MSDN subscription) which gives me a local account to access it with via RDP. No problems there.
I want to use a Microsoft Account on this VM instead of a local account however, because I want to sync my OneDrive (reason: I have a lot of data in the Cloud via backup programs like Carbonite and CrashPlan that I want to move to my OneDrive as it
has unlimited space now, but don't want to use home or work network for that move as it will take months to move it all about. Cloud-to-Cloud initial data move seemed like it would be quicker hence I am doing it in Azure.)
I can't use OneDrive with the local account no matter what I tried so I had to log in as a Microsoft account.
I tried adding my Microsoft Account to this VM, making it Administrator and then switching the local account to that one but this process failed (even tried different accounts, one without 2-factor auth. enabled: nothing.)
I also tried RDPin in using the MicrosoftAccount\[email protected] rather than convert or link the local account but that didn't work either. "Your credentials didn't work." Even trying with just the email address didn't work. Nor did using
an app password (I have 2-factor enabled of course.)
The only way I was able to log in was to:
Under System properties of the Windows 8 Pro VM, under Remote tab uncheck "Allow connections only from computers running Remote Desktop with Network Level Authentication"
I follered these instructions to create and edit an RDP file on my local pc:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/941641
Once I connected from my local pc with the modified RDP file to the Windows 8 Pro VM in Azure, I was prompted for the user to log in as by the VM, allowing me to select the Microsoft Account I had previously added instead of the local account which looked
the same as if you do it physically at the machine. This had not happened before and once I did, everything was fine after that :-)

Hi,
Please use the original RDP file in another computer and install the certificate. And then use the new RDP for test
