Trying to find a way to make Surface 2 usable as a thin client

We are looking for a low maintenance and low cost device that can employees can securely use to remote desktop to their work PCs from home.  The only thing these users should be doing is logging in, getting connected to Internet, connect to VPN and
the launch RDP to their desktop PC.  The machine does not require any other capabilities and less it does, the better, for less complexity and things to go wrong.
With a Surface 2, it looks like it might be possible over VPN and Remote Gateway, but there is one issue I don't see a way around.  We do not want users to have to use a different user ID and password to log into the Surface than they normally use to
log into  AD.  Since a Surface 2 cannot be joined to a domain like a Surface Pro or other Windows Professional PC, is there any other way of syncing a Surface 2 login to their AD user login through Intune or any other service?  
We would like anyone in our office to be able to check out a Surface and work from home without having to learn new sign in credentials and also not sharing a single local account for everyone.
Can this be done?

Hi John
Just loking through postings that have not been answered yet and I came across yours. I'm afraid the answer is no. There is no install for 10.1.2.54.25. You have to install the older version (10.1.2.48.18) and then apply the patch. Sorry.
Best wishes
Michael

  • Trying to find a way to make up for lack of equalizer

    My Creative SB Audigy 4. (WDM) card software didn't come with an equalizer, and I need some way to shape my overall sound output without going through each player (Winamp, iTunes, etc) that I use. Is there something out there I can install that will give me equalization control at the basic level?

    Make sure you do a full installation using the sound card installation cd. If for some reasons you are not seeing this Graphic Equalizer software, please write to Customer Support with the disk id.
    To locate the disk id:
    1. Insert the sound card installation cd into the cd-rom dri've of your pc.
    2. Browse to the root direction and look for a text file by the name: disk id.txt
    3. Open it using Word and copy the contents.

  • I had a drive failure and lost the iWeb file along with other things.   I did manage to save a lot of user file documents but I don't see or   recognize the my iWeb site file. It was on a 15" G4 Titanium pb. I'm trying to find a way, using version 2.0.4

    I had a drive failure and lost the iWeb file along with other things. 
    I did manage to save a lot of user file documents but I don't see or 
    recognize the iWeb site file. It was on a 15" G4 Titanium pb.
    I'm trying to find a way, using version 2.0.4 of iWeb on a different 
    pb to recover the file into the iWeb app or a way to download the site into iWeb.
    There are 6 pages of images and text, and it 
    would be a task for me to recreate the whole thing again. I did 
    download the site but I don't know how or if I can get iWeb to see it and open it.
    Does anyone have any knowledge about this? The link to my site:

    Any suggestions will be most appreciated.

    Unfortunately iWeb cannot read or import previously published files, only generate them.  You'll have to recreate your site from scratch.
    However, Chapter 2.3 on the iWeb FAQ.org site has tips on using some of the existing files, image, audio, video, etc., from the published site in the recreation of the site.

  • I just purchased the SX60 and have been trying to find the way to change the "startup image".

    I just purchased the SX60 and have been trying to find the way to change the "startup image". I have the SX40, Sx30 SX1 and all allow me to change the startup image and the sounds through MyCamera. When I opened MyCamera, it tells me that it won't work on my model. Does anyone know how to change the startup image? In the menu it gives me the choice to either have it on or off. Thanks so much!

    Looks like Canon has changed what they ship with the newer cameras. My SX50 came with a disc & no paper manual. Because of that I searched the Canon site (USA site) & found the program set you need to download (according to what it says). Now there are different versions based on your operating system so for my search I've chosen Win 8.0 & the program file recommended is

    hienn,
    Not yet. There was an upgrade page to 10.8.2 for the late 2012 models but it's down now. I have to assume that Apple pulled it because of some bugs. I would look for something next week, more likely than not. In the meantime, the OP should be good with 10.8.1 until the update shows up again.

  • I'm trying to find a way to move pictures from Preview to iPhoto. Tried "rebuilding  library"...nothing happens.  Help!

    I'm trying to find a way to move pictures from Preview to iPhoto. Tried "rebuilding  library"...nothing happens.  Pictures ssomehow wound up in Preview after I needed to do a clean install (Snow Leopard) and moved files from an external drive. Help!

    If you saw the images with Preview in the other iPhoto Library, than try to open iPhoto with that Library:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2505
    If the Photos are there, replace the iPhoto Library in your Pictures folder with the one from the external.  (posted by Keith)
    My response:
    The pictures don't appear in Preview in the other user account.  They also don't appear in the external drive (!!!????).  I discovered I can get the pictures into iPhoto by saving from Preview to the desktop, then importing into iPhoto, but only one at a time.
    Clearly the files are on the hard drive somewhere, but where?  The  'iPhoto library" icon that appears in my Pictures folder is a "package" which can't be opened on it's own....it's only able to be  imported into Preview.
    This feels like the Twilight Zone to me.....

  • I have road runner webmail and I am trying to find a way to import my addresses.  I can't imagine that I have to type them all in!ai

    I have road runner webmail and I am trying to find a way to import my email addressess to my imac pro.  I imagine that I don't have to type them all in! 

    Sorry but I know of no app that will display keywords during  Slideshow. Several - including iPhoto - will display the title and you can change lots of titles quite quickly using the Batch Change command. As to what gets displayed during a ScreenSaver that's a matter for the individual screensaver.

  • HT1689 I purchased TV shows, I was billed for them, but they won't play on my Macbook because it says they are a certain HD that doesn't work - I am trying to find a way to return the shows or buy them in the right format

    I purchased TV shows, I was billed for them, but they won't play on my Macbook because it says they are a certain HD that doesn't work - I am trying to find a way to return the shows or buy them in the right format

    I am using MAC OSx 10.5.8 (9L31a) as my operation system.  The TV says "No signal.  Check connected device's power, cable connection and source selection."  Seems to me that that goes in hand with what the Samsung tech said about the Mac needing to be forces to use the external display.  But how do I do that?

  • Surface pro 3 - using rdp - thin client - display resolution shrink

    Hi,
    I have a surface pro 3, using a thin client to access and run an application on our server.  it is an access based application.  the display of the forms and application display in a very small font - through the thin client interface.  I
    cannot figure out how to enlarge the font - msft tech chat suggested I post this question here as there seems to be no immediate resolution for now.  if I plug a USB into the SP3 and open the app it displays wonderfully - any suggestions are welcome.
    thank you,
    john

    Anyone?! :(
    I think this device is trememdous - and could replace 'everyday business users' - maybe not hardcore IT/coder/developers - hardware - but it surely has the balls to keep Suzy happy while answering emails and buying shoes (so chauvenistic - I know - ok then
    think Billy playing solitaire).
    Struggling to find ANYone having woe's using a Surface Pro 3 through a VPN & thin-client.  The resolution just shrinks to the point it's almost illegible.  I downloaded the RDMC - but unsure of how or what to do with it, unfortunately.
    Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

  • Trying to find a way to distort object from one to the other

    I have Illustrator Cs3 (windows) running under XP Pro.
    My challenge is to find a way to distort a shape in such a way that it will match another shape. It is a kind of morphing going from 1 object to another. I tried to use the Distort function (mesh), but don't really know wether there is a better way to handle it because it is quite manual.
    I could give a sample of what I want to do, but not sure we can attach files here.
    Any help would be really appreciated
    Thanks
