Apple Remote Desktop Dashboard Widget v3.6 not functioning as advertised

Just saw there's an updated (A)RD Widget.
I've downloaded it but seems exactly the same as previous versions.
I can't view widget of MacMini Server. Instead has yellow triangle with exclamation point.
Can't interact/launch ARD by clicking on widget of any individual compter, SL or Lion.
Grey screen with or without spinning wheel for Lion clients.
Anyone getting the 3.6 widget to funcrtion as described?
From Apple:
About Apple Remote Desktop Dashboard Widget v3.6
The Apple Remote Desktop Dashboard widget* gives you an instant, at-a-glance view of the remote computers in your network.
It’s fully integrated with the Apple Remote Desktop administrative application, so a click on a particular computer will allow you to select and start working with any computer in the system.
* Requires a licensed copy of Apple Remote Desktop to be installed on your Mac.

Same thing here.
I have 3 macs.
2 iMacs and a MacBok Pro.
MacBook Pro and iMac 1 (the newer) works fine with the widget. But both can't see the iMac 2, only the exclamation mark

Hi,

Hi,
The cause of unable to remote back to the server seems to be services hung, please try to reset session as the article below guides to see if it works:

Windows Server 2008 R2 Remote Desktop - The requested session access is denied

Hi, I have been using Windows Server 2008 R2 since it was released, and have 100 servers up and running. I configured Allow Remote Desktop on all of them and have been able to connect to them and manage them via RDP since then. I also have two servers configured as Remote Desktop Services.
That was up until yesterday. Yesterday afternoon I started getting the The requested session access is denied. I managed all Terminal services via Group Policy and have three users entered.
I am connecting to the servers via Windows XP SP3 and Windows 7. Both clients have been updated to the latest Remote Desktop Services client.
I have been searching for the answer, and I am not finding it.
I have also tried KB954369 without any success.
Thanks,
Brian

Ok, from my trials and tribulations and discussions with Microsoft I have identified the following;
Assumptions;
A. My terminal server is in domain widget
B. All the users are in domain contoso
1. I had the Terminal Server configurured with a specific Login, which would launch a specific application only and not give them any desktop functions. Wiht this configured this way, I get the error I wrote about.
2. If I turn the specific login off, then I can login normally and perform the functions as Administrator that I need/want to do.
3. Microsoft said to configure the Terminal Server with Single Sign-on. I did as instructed and went thru all the steps, however because my terminal server is in domain widget, the users get prompted twice each time for login. Once on the website, and then again as the application launches. Microsoft said that the users needed to Remote Desktop Client 7.x or the self-signed certificate that I have has to be included in the domain contoso certificate authority so that they will not be prompted for the second sign-on.
4. Conclusions - I need to have a chat with our enterprise security team about including the self-signed certificate in the contoso certificate authority. I need to also work on my RDWeb website so that it meets our company standard look.
Here are the links that Microsoft provided;

Audio service hangs on Windows Server 2008R2 with Remote Desktop Services

Hello!
I have some terminal servers on Windows Server 2008R2. Users have the ability to use web browsers (IE, Firefox) with the included Flash Player, IM clients / Internet
telephony (Skype, ICQ), Windows Media Player, Office, and a specific internal software (works with MS SQL). I have the following problem: the Windows audio service hangs up that leads to hangup of all programs which use it, such as: any sites in Internet with
a flash content (in all browsers), ICQ, Skype.Even logging out the session hung when tried to lose a sound. It's impossible to stop or restart service from the services.msc the service just hang with status "restarting". To stop service I terminate svchost
process. As soon as the audio service is stopped - all programs start to work correctly (certainly without a sound). This problem appeared not suddenly - periodic hangups of programs on servers were marked long ago (more than half a year), but not directly
were connected to audio service, especially there were they rather rare (on the average once a week - two) and were corrected by server reset. The error message:
Error container , type 0
Event name: AppHangXProcB1
Reply: No data
Ident CAB: 0
Problem signature:
P1: iexplore.exe
P2: 9.0.8112.16446
P3: 4fb57c8f
P4: 77c1
P5: 131200
P6: svchost.exe:AudioClientRpc
P7: 0.0.0.0
P8:
P9:
P10:
shall suggest an idea about a sound service, but in Event Viewer has no Windows Audio events.
Recently I updated Skype to the last version 6.0.66.120. Before was 4.2.35.155 because versions 5хх on Windows2008R2 with the Remote Desctop Services actually don't
work, if users at the server more than one or two. We checked the sixth version by the test machine with the terminal environment and very were delighted to its normal working capacity. However after installation of this client on production servers it appeared
that hangups of programs on servers began to occur on the average time at an o'clock in case of an average daily load (about 20 users on one server). If you have worked one or two users, problems weren't watched. Internet search led me to the support page
Skype, where the Windows 7 x64 user faced a similar problem in the fifth version of the program. But the solutions proposed by the support team does not help me. In addition, I found the advice to disable enhancements in the properties of the playback device,
but it is impossible for the "Remote Audio" device.
At the moment, on servers where I updated the Skype, I disabled the audio service. If within a reasonable time, I do not find a solution, I will have to revert
to an older version of Skype, but I would like to solve the problem completely.

Enable the Allow audio and video playback redirection Group Policy setting
To allow audio and video playback when connecting to a computer running Windows Server 2008 R2, you must enable the Allow audio and video playback redirection Group Policy setting. The Allow audio and video playback redirection Group Policy setting is located
in Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Device and Resource Redirection and can be configured by using either Local Group Policy Editor or the Group Policy Management
Console (GPMC).
For more information about Group Policy settings for Remote Desktop Services, see the Remote Desktop Services Technical Reference (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=138134).
Is this policy applied? Refer:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd759165.aspx
Also, have you tried update the audio device driver for this terminal server?

Screen sharing not working after Remote Desktop 3.2 install

OK, I think I screwed it up.
I'm moving to a new iMac running Mountain Lion, and I need to use Remote Desktop. I own Remote Desktop 3.2 on DVD, so I installed from disk and launched the app. My plan was to download the latest update to 3.6.x, but I figured I would launch it to enter my license key and then quit and download the update.
I was given an error that newer components were already installed and clicked the Quit button. Ugh. Next I went to Apple's download site and downloaded the newest update but when I ran that installer it told me it could not install on my drive.
My grand plan has now left me with no Remote Desktop, and the built-in Screen Sharing core service beach balls when I try to connect to a remote client.
Is there a way to save me from myself?
Thanks in advance,
Bill

Hi Bill,
You could try removing all the installed components manually and then try again (install, don't open but update right away).
According to the installer the files are located in:
/Applications/Remote Desktop.app (that one was hard to find )
/Library/Application Support/Apple/Remote Desktop/
/Library/Preferences/com.Apple.ARDAgent.plist
/Library/Preferences/com.Apple.RemoteDesktop.plist
/Library/Receipts/
/Library/Widgets/RemoteDesktop.wdgt
(not sure if the following files tie into other parts of the OS so removing them may cause issues)
/System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement
/usr/bin/share/man/man1
perhaps a permission repair after all parts have been deleted and a restart before trying again.

HT2476 does mountain lion have remote desktop app?

Hi does anybody know if Mountain Lion has remote desktop app included. if not how do you get it ?

Hmmmmm... OK y'all have got me thinking.
I normally run disk check and repair, this time it found a number of files and links related to printers and image devices, stuff that isn't likely part of the issue. There were three links, however, related to core graphics. the permissionss were rwxr-xr-x when they should be rwxrwxrwx. I don't think those are involved, but alas they are fixed.
It seems like much of my issues seems to revolve around the mounting/access of resources outside my laptop, be it icloud, nfs server, samba server, etc. RIght at this moment, Finder is hung hard. I tried to force restart it, and in the Force quit menu I now see two Finders. One will kill and restart immediately, one does nothing. And I can't open a finder window period.
In fact, just before writing this, I was attempting to edit a text document in StarOffice, and StarOffice went to lunch trying to access my samba share. Now before y'all go nuts about any samba server side issues, let me say that while my MBP is having issues accessing my samba shares, none of my other computing devices are. W7 laptop pulls up samba file system as fast as if not faster than it's own local file systems. My other MBP (older core2 duo, but still on mountain lion) does not seem to have any issues. I don't believe it a server side issue.
So I asked myself, what's different on my 2.66 gb i7 MBP?? It just occurred to me that I have one piece of software that's pretty deeply rooted in file system management.... Tuxera NFS. I see that it has not been updated since updating to Mountain Lion, so I am going to check that out, and will post results.

IOS Remote Desktop app and computers connected to SBS 2008--can't get it to work

I can connect directly to the server without a remote resource in the IOS app.
But I'd like to be able to connect to computers in the office like we can through RWW. RWW works fine, but not from my phone. (Yes I can connect to the server and take over computers from the phone but I don't want other people in the office to log
into the server first!).
I can never get the remote resources section in the app to connect. I usually get "Unable to locate any remote resources for the URL". error in the resources section. I've tried a simple "https://remote.domain.com", "https://remote.domain.com:987",
etc.
We have a self-signed certificate. I can't think of anything in the server setup that is anything other than normal.
I can do direct connect using "Remote Desktop Connection" in windows 7. In the remote desktop server settings I just put remote.domain.com and "Ask for password (NTLM)" for the login method. Then on the general tab I have just the
simple computer name and the domain\username. That's all I had to setup to get that to work.
Any suggestions?

Hi Michael,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Have you setup RD Gateway server in your environment? Are you trying to access the RWW through it?
On server side you can choose “Bypass RD Gateway server for local addresses” under RemoteApp manager and check the result.
For more information, you can check below links for detail.

Is there a way to open the mic using apple remote desktop

Is there a way to open the mircophone channel using Apple Remote Desktop so I can listen on anything thats happening at my computer at home? If not is there another software that would work?
Also is there a way to use apple's software to control and watch a PC?

Is there a way to open the mircophone channel using Apple Remote Desktop so I can listen on anything thats happening at my computer at home? If not is there another software that would work?
You would have to launch software that would accept audio from the microphone and transmit it to you in some fashion. ARD does not transmit audio itself. Another remote control solution such as Timbuktu might transmit audio, so you could look into that, perhaps.
Also is there a way to use apple's software to control and watch a PC?
You can install a VNC server on the PC and ARD can then take control of the system. It can be tricky to find a VNC system that will work with ARD, though, so search this forum for "VNC" for possible options. One of the applications that support Microsoft's remote desktop architecture such as their own Remote Desktop Connection Client for Mac or iTap Mobile RDP will probably work better, though.

Remote Desktop Connection Manager can only open 6 sessions at a time on Server 2012

I am only able to open, and view thumbnails, for a maximum of 6 RDP sessions on my Server 2012 box at a time in Remote Desktop Connection Manager (RDCM). If I add more sessions I just get a variety of connection errors for the additional sessions. If I activate
a 7th session one of the existing 6 sessions goes off-line with a connection error message. Sometimes the error says 3334, sometimes the error says 0x8345000E, and sometimes it just says there is a connection error.
I have checked Group Policy on the server to ensure I don't have any settings restricting the number of RDP sessions.
In fact, I will often have 30 or 40 RDP simultaneous sessions opened, I am just not able to view them all in RDCM. I have seen reviews of RDCM with screenshots showing dozens of thumbnails so it seems to be something that's possible to do.
Are there any settings I should make on the server to allow RDCM to connect to more than 6 simultaneous RDP sessions?
Just to be clear, all these RDP sessions are running on the same server. Also, I am just using the trial license for Server 2012 and Remote Desktop Services right now. I don't think that should have an impact, but I wanted to be thorough.

Thanks Jakub for "corflags" info.
Unfortunatelly it doesn't work because running mRemoteNG.exe process in 64bit can't load MSTSC ActiveX component (referenced assemblies) because original files were assembled from 32bit dll [mstscax.dll]?
Error message when making RDP connection:
Could not load file or assembly 'Interop.MSTSCLib, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format.
I was able to create new AxInterop.MSTSCLib.dll and Interop.MSTSCLib.dll assemblies from 64bit dll version and now it works with "AnyCPU":-)
http://www.filedropper.com/axinteropmstsclib-mremoteng
Using AxImp.exe and TlbImp.exe didn't worked for me because it creates assemblies in wrong namespace "MSTSCLib" instead of "Interop.MSTSCLib" (AxImp.exe) and TlbImp.exe for changing namespace generated many "marshaled errors"
so final .dll wasn't working.
Adding MSTSCAX.dll reference in Visual Studio directly created correct and functional assemblies. Who don't know how to create 64bit compatible assemblies or don't have Visual Studio, feel free to check linked file.
Hope it helps
P.S. Sorry for possible technical misinterpretation, I am not programmer so creating new assemblies was trial-error process...

Remote desktop connection caused host to lose a monitor and other settings

Hello
After a successful remote desktop login, on the host I can now no longer detect the 2nd monitor. Screen resolution on remaining monitor is off, it's gone over to use Microsoft Basic Display Adapter even though it was using the correct adapter previously.
Both previously working display adapters now show Code 12 error: "this device cannot find enough free resources that it can use". The system has also become very slow, when I right-click the desktop, it takes up to 30 sec for the menu to appear.
Anyone had a problem like this? I have restarted the computer several times, reverted system to a working state last week, done another successful remote desktop login/logout from my laptop to this computer.
Windows 8.1 Pro
Displays: Dell U2412M
Intel R HD Graphics 4600
Thank you in advance for any help/tips to help solve this problem!

This error message can also appear if the BIOS did not allocate enough resources to the device, I want to know how much RAM do you have on your computer, because the Display Adapter calls for extra RAM to run the monitor.
If you don’t have enough RAM to allocate, the monitor won’t start, that’s why the computer becomes very slow.
Here I suggest a possible solution:
Adjust the amount of memory dedicated to video/graphics. You can change that in BIOS. there might be an option in your PC's BIOS that lets you change the amount of system memory used for video/graphics.
You'll just need to find it in the BIOS, the BIOS options in the Advanced settings,
the option varies depends on the BIOS version
you can set the maximum memory that it can take to a lowest value.

Remote Desktop and Remote Access

I am a very new Mac user but have extensive PC experience. I work in the IT industry and I find the use of Remote Desktop very useful. How can I setup my Mac to be able to access it when I am not at home?

What machine and operating system do you wish to access it from?

Remote Desktop and remote USB scanner

Hello, We currently use NeatWorks to scan our company receipts and docs. Several of our employees access the NeatWorks database remotely, via a locally installed NeatWorks application, the connection we use to the file is the simple Finder 'Connect to Server'. Because NeatWorks is not networkable, we access it one at a time.
The problem is the Neatworks database is huge, it can take 20 minutes to load remotely.
Our solution to this would be to use Remote Desktop to access our server that has the application and database for a quick load. The problem is scanning.
Can Remote Desktop connect to the users local USB scanner so that the scans go directly to the remote database? If not, is there any other elegant solution to this remote scan problem?
We were hoping to find a networkable program to replace NeatWorks that wouldn't load the entire database, just an index perhaps.
Thanks a million for any input!
John

Can the NeatWorks application on the server, see, connect to the USB scanner device on the user end.
That would not be a function of Apple Remote Desktop. The NeatWorks software would need to have code to access a remote scanner, either natively or using the Scanner Sharing feature of Mac OS X 10.6 (if that will support the USB scanner you're using).

Remote Desktop and Doing System / Software Updates

I am new to Remote Desktop. I am starting to use it daily in my class room to share things with students and lock screens, etc. Is there an easy way to do system updates and software updates (adobe flash player, java, etc.) without having to manually log in to each machine? I have to believe there is a better way...could someone point me in the right direction? Thanks!

Oh, my version of Remote Desktop is 3.7.2

Yosemite 10.10.1 Update - Can no longer connect to Windows Remote Desktop

I use Mac's VPN to create a PPTP VPN connection to our Windows Server at work. I access the Server using the Microsoft Remote Desktop App from the App Store (v 8.0.10). After upgrading to Yosemite, I could get the VPN to connect but could not get the Microsoft App to connect to the Server. I fixed this problem by deleting the VPN Connection and setting it up new from scratch. It worked fine until the 10.10.1 upgrade. Now it no longer works and my previous fix does not work. I also noticed that I totally lose internet connectivity when the VPN is connected - Safari and Outlook Windows app show no internet connection.
Microsoft App error is :
Unable to connect to remote PC. Please provide the fully-qualified name or the IP address of the remote PC, and then try again.
Please help this has broken with both Yosemite updates and now I am up a creek and unable to work remotely.
Thanks,

I've only one hint to you, cause I've mot on Mac-Server.
With 10.7 Apple have switched from Samba (maybe due to licence problems with GPL based stuff) to a own protocol called "XSMB"
This had caused problems with some NAS systems too.
Eventually someone have a glue to solve that, as several users have problems with SMB shares since that.
