Which is best remote software to access Windows 2008 Server from Mac Air

Hi
Is anyone using, succesfully, remote software to log into a Windows Server 2008 network from a Mac. I use Wyse Pocket Cloud Pro on my iPhone but there doesn't seem to be an app for a Mac Air. Any suggestions or help appreciated?

Ummm... Microsoft's own RDC for Mac

  • How can I easily set up Mac lab to access windows 2008 server directory user files?

    I am wanting to start shifting our school to Apple computers. The problem is that we have already invested significant time and money into windows and we need to run them side-by-side. My initial plan would be to set up an open lab of computers with no users but have some way of allowing students to save their files to a windows directory which would in turn allow them to access the same files from a windows computer. I hope this makes sense and is not an entirely stupid or basic question.
    I have logged into my personal directory on our server by hitting Command K and then putting in my user and password. What I would like is to have one item to appear in the shared directory and when selected for it to ask for user and password and go a the required directory.
    If anybody has any information that may support the process of the intergration of Pc to Mac for a super low level IT skilled teacher I would greatly appreciate it.
    Thanks

    the easiest is to enable fast user switching system preferences-.accounts and require password to wake from sleep in system preferences->security. This way when computer wakes from sleep it gives a password screen with an option to go to login window and switch user.

  • Mac os x wiki server can't authenticate user password from active directory recently after we upgraded to windows 2008 server.

    after upgraded to windows 2008 server, our  mac os x wiki server can't authenticate user password anymore. How can I re-bind the wiki server to the AD again? thanks in advance.

    Solved it by deleting the user and creating a new one with the same userID.
    Maybe it occured because I marked the "user has to change password after first login" box when resetting the password but didn't yet allow him to do so in the webpages menu?!?

  • Windows 2008 Server crashed - How to find location of remote shared files that they used to access on remote web app?

    We have a client that was running windows 2008 server.  A previous IT person had setup their system, so we were walking into a situation where there were many unknowns.  Server was mainly handling emails only, and we were able to get their exchange
    database off and export PSTs to hosted exchange via microsoft.
    Everything went fine with that, however one user said that he used to access files on the server via the remote web app as he described.  He would go to the following url:
    https://mail.theirdomain.com/remote/menu.aspx#
    and he would use his login and then he would see several links to folders.  He could then click on those and see his desired files.  
    We were able to get the server booted again, however we could not find any of the files he described on it at all, leaving me to suspect that perhaps this remote link was accessing another PC.  
    We have the old server up and running, however the link above is no longer active because we have pointed the domain to the new hosted exchange server.  As I am still learning and my boss wanted me to research this on my own and figure out how to find
    out where these files are located.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.  
    Just as a note I did try access mail.localhost.com/remote/menu.aspx# on the server but this did not work.  Is there any way in the IIS 7 management console to figure out where this was pointing to?  

    I figured it out - The server was using sharepoint to host these files.  I browsed localhost:987 and opened the sharepoint site locally on the server.  They had several documents to be exported, however when clicking on Open in Explorer it was
    giving an error that local client was not configured.  I installed Desktop Experience and after that was able to open it in Windows Explorer and copy all files off.  

  • Hey guys, how can i password protect my files in external hard drive? I want to access those files both from mac and windows PC!

    Hey guys, how can i password protect my files in external hard drive? I want to access those files both from mac and windows PC!

    If you want a cross-platform solution that doesn't require the use of third-party software, use an external drive with hardware encryption. The device will have either a physical key or a numeric keypad. I don't have a specific recommendation.

  • Windows 2008 Server R2 - Registry Accessing problem

    Hi,
    My projects are currently being migrated to Windows 2008 servers from Windows 2000. I am using registry nodes under
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\RegistryData\Test. My problem is when I am retrieving a string with 20 character or 39 character - it omits the final character. This is because normally when a string stores an additional space/null also be included.,
    and in code we used to cut it using (like Left(xValue, xLength - 1)). I know instead of LEFT I can use TRIM and avoid the error. But I would like to know why it is happened only when string comes with 20 character.
    Thanks in Advance.
    Shine

    RegGetValueA/W does not open or create a registry section.
    RegCreateKeyEx does this. Maybe you're using a wrong export definition of the WIN32 API functions or some helper function(s) specific to VB.

  • Error Code 0x80070035 shows when I try to Access Windows XP machine from Windows8/Windows7

    Error Code 0x80070035 shows when I try to Access Windows XP machine from Windows8/Windows7. in my PC i m installed windows8 and used primary and secondary IP. Primary is used for Access my Domain/Internet and secondary IP is used for access my VPN and
    there is no internet on VPN. VPN is only used for my Head Office Appication. After i give secondary IP to my windos8/windos7 PC the Active network status changed to private network and not able to acces windows XP machines. Please Advice...

    Hi,
    This error means that the Network path was not found. Was Windows XP locating in the same network as the secondary IP on Windows 8/7?
    Please try the solution below.  Use the IP address of the target computer, not the computer name.
    1) Find out what the target computer's IP address is.  It is desirable to give the target computer a static private IP address, for example, 192.168.1.10, so it does not change.  Use the local windows help when sitting in front of the target computer
    to do this if you don't know how.
    2) When sitting in front of the Windows 7 computer you want to access the target computer from, open Windows Explorer and in the address bar type \\ followed by the target computer's static address, for example,\\192.168.1.10 and hit enter.
    If the target computer uses username/password sharing, after a few seconds you will be prompted for credentials.  Enter the same username and password employed to log on to the target computer when you are sitting in front of it.
    The target computer will be added to the Windows 7 computer's Network list, appearing as an IP address instead of a computer name.  Then you can access its shares just as if it were listed by name instead of by number.

  • Problem with 10.2.0.5 patch on Windows 2008 Server R2 64bit

    Hello
    I have HP server with Windows 2008 Server R2 64bit. I installed
    latest 64-bit version of Oracle Database 10.2.0.4 and everything works fine and later installed the patch 10.2.0.5 (64 bits) as the Oracle maintains that with the R2 version of the system it is necessary to correct work.
    Now, after uploading the patch database starts and closes
    after about 15 minutes and my alert log file is changed to the binary version which do not see anything (means that after patch installation (10.2.0.5) the alert log file isn't normal text file and it looks like that:
    Źýţ cśy iµ•eű .Ź ťy ťy Ř®y hčN)
    You can read only the beginning and it's very large - 13 Mb after unpacking from ZIP.
    Can anyone met with this configuration and knows how to solve
    problem?
    This is the link to my strange alert log file:

    I attached my spfile.ora file too:
    http://www.2shared.com/file/gUmID0fh/SPFILEORCL.html

    Your alertlog is corrupted, it could be something about a virus or even a problem with disk drives. Have you scanned your server with anti-virus software? Have you scanned the disks?
    Last questison: Have you upgraded your database after you installed the patch?

  • Install error 11gR2 on Windows 2008 Server R2

    Hello,
    I have a question about an installation error I received on Windows 2008 Server R2 while trying to install the 11g R2 on an test machine. I had downloaded both cd's and extracted them and copied the first cd into an new directory and then tried to copy the second cd into this directory, unfortunately I didn't saw that this step failed. As I started the installation I first didn't saw any error, later the installer brought some exceptions due to missing files (oc4j, context).
    I then copied the second cd again (this time it worked) and continued with the installer until it finished.
    My question is now, as there are some files missing, do I have the possibility to reinstall the software and which is the best way? Must i first uninstall the software and install it again or does it work if i start the installation (i select only software) again selecting the existing ORACLE_HOME so that the installation is overwritten.
    I hope you can help me with an solution for this.
    Many thanks in advance to all for your help.
    Regards
    Luis

    Hi,
    If in one oracle home you have a successful installation, oracle will automatically deny the installation of a new software in this existing home. If you have a filed installation in some oracle home, then later you can install in the same directory as oracle does not consider this failed installation as a proper oracle home hence it overwrites everything. Even you can't uninstall this failed installation because as i told you that this is not considered an oracle home. but, better way is to run installer and see whether you have an oracle home registered in the directory in which you want to install again and if you find one, then do a deinstall. If you don't see this directory as oracle home, then still better to delete what ever is inside this directory and do the installation.
    Under current scenario, your installation is fine and you should not worry.

  • Error connecting to the SAP SRV on Windows 2008 Server platform

    Hi All
    We have a problem with one of our clients they bought a new sbs windows server 2008 and we loaded sql 2005 and sap b1 SP01 PL07.
    When we did the SBO install we experience connection issues and we created odbc connection on the server using named pipes and tcp/ip (used both server name and Ip address).
    We also configured the server in configuration manager and we managed to login and solved the slow system connection issue. We also created odbc connection on the client machines. (Machine are on a workgroup and users have administration access on all machines),we also installed native client on all machines.
    After the first batch of client installs we managed to have connection, they were other computers which were left out during the first client install and now the client want to do the remaining machines connected to SBO. On every machine that we install now we get the same error :-
    *Connection failed:
    SQLState:'08001'
    SQl Server error:10060

    Hi Eric,
    yes we are using Windows 2008 SBS for the SAP EHP4 FOR SAP ERP 6.0/NW7.01 installation.
    we tried to create the key but it says access is denied.
    Actual thing is we got the server with Windows 2008 server 64 bit SBS (standard FE) with Domain Controller (DC) configuration.
    We have removed the DC using dcpromo to convert into Wokgroup and tried the SAP installation.
    I hope you got the idea and please let me know any further suggestions or it is the problem with the license.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • Crystal Reports 2011 not working in windows 2008 server CITRIX

    Hi All,
    We are using  Crystal reports 2011 in windows 2008 server which is CITRIX farm., having crystal reports 2011 runtime in it..
    We are using .net applicationton to run the reports.
    The crystal reports parameter popup is getting opened. But the calendar icon is not fuctioning ..clicking on the calendar control no pop up appears. no error too..
    OK button is not responding. Cancel button too.
    Can you please help us why we are facing this issue in CITRIX only. When we are using the same version in desktop, Crystal report is working fine.
    Please feel free to ask if required any more details about my problem.
    Regards,
    Venkat.K

    Ido's idea is excellent, only addition I'd like to make is the following:
    You are trying to run a .NET app. However, CR 2011 does not install any SDKs. So, the directory specified by Ido is not correct. Assuming that by CR 2011 you actually mean "SAP Crystal Reports, Developer Version for Visual Studio .NET", then the directory would be:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 4.0\Common\Crystal Reports 2011\crystalreportviewers\prompting
    If that does not help, use Process Monitor and see what the logs tell you (look for Access Denied messages).

  • Windows 2008 Server R2 & SAP Business One

    Does anyone have any experience, good or bad, with SAP Business One and Terminal Service on Windows 2008 Server R2?  We are finding a number of issues with this configuration and we are looking for any feedback that is out there.
    Here is the situation - our customer is running SAP Business One v2007 SP01 PL09 Hotfix4 on a Windows 2008 Server R2 machine.  All users (15 max) access SBO via Terminal Service to this machine, which also holds the databases (SQL Server 2005).  The machine currently has 20GB of RAM.
    What we are finding is:
    1) When any process related to SBO (SBO core or add-ons) consumes some portion of memory, none of that memory is ever released back to the O/S until SBO is completely closed.  So over the course of a day each user ends up simply consuming more and more memory as forms are opened for transactions.  While we do see this in Windows 2003 Server to some extent, at least some memory is released when a given form is closed.
    2) Once the system hits a point where around 75% of RAM is consumed the users start seeing application "hangs" and are forced to manually terminate SBO (via Task Manager) and restart.  There doesn't seem to be any paging or use of virtual memory (if my terms are right) in use.
    3) If the system is busy and a new window/form is opened the new window immediately (within one or two seconds) presents the "Not Responding" message on the new window.  Depending on the circumstances the application is simply waiting for resources and will continue opening normally.
    I would appreciate feedback from anyone who has experience with Windows 2008 Server R2; and especially using it for Terminal Services.  My personal feeling is that it is a platform that should be avoided but we would certainly like to hear what other folks have to say.
    Regards,

    I believe the supporting of this OS is still on Planned basis.  You may check with SAP support to give them a good user case to fight with any non-compatible issues.

  • Windows 2008 Server Configuration - Help

    Hello All,
    I am not an expert in configuring servers and I have just started to learn. Please forgive me if I am doing something funny!
    I have a router with static IP address and DHCP enabled on the router. The router had the following configuration as shown below and the clients were obtaining IP address from the router and using the internet without a problem.
    Router Configutaion:
    Basic Setting:
    IP Address : 122.165.60.160 (My Wan Static IP)
    IP Subnet Mask : 255.255.252.0
    Gateway IP: 122.165.60.1
    DNS Address:
    Primary DNS : 203.145.184.32
    Secondary DNS: 203.145.184.13
    Lan TCP/IP Setup:
    IP Address: 192.168.2.1 (Router IP)
    IP Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
    DHCP Enabled:
    Statring IP : 192.168.2.11 
    Ending IP: 192.168.2.100
    Now, I have installed Windows 2008 R2 Server with Active Directory, DNS and DHCP, IIS. I have created a few users and did nothing more than that in the server.
    Server IP Settings
    Server IP: 192.168.2.5
    Subnet : 255.255.255.0
    Gateway : 192.168.2.1
    DNS: 127.0.0.1
    And when I tried to join the domain i created... corp.globe.com the clients were not able to find the domain I therefore changed the following settings in the router.
    DNS Address:
    Primary DNS : 203.145.184.32
    Secondary DNS: 192.168.2.5 (Server IP)
    After this change the clients were able to join the domain and login as well. However the clients were getting the IP from the router. I am facing a lot of problems as listed below.
    1. I am not able to ping the clients using the computer name from the server.
    2. Clients cannot ping other clients or server using name. (Suppose if I try... PING SYS1 .... It looks like it is trying to ping some 92.x.x.xx IP address) even if SYS1 IP address is 192.168.2.13
    3. Clients can access Internet, but I cannot browse anything in the server.
    Please help me in the configuration, or point me to some guide which describes the same. I tried to set up and enable the DHCP server using Windows 2008 machine and I disabled it DHCP on the router, clients where able to get the IP address from Windows 2008
    server, but they were not able to use internet. Please advise.
    Thanks for your time.

    Hi,
    And you cannot ping the clients using the computer name from the server?
    Did you turn off the firewall on server and client?
    If you are having problems connecting to Active Directory and you have already successfully verified network connectivity, there might be a name resolution problem. For more and detail information, please refer to:

  • Error 0x80070490 trying to launch VM without SCVMM on Windows 2008 Server R2

    Hello everybody,
    I get a weird issue trying to launch a VM.
    This is the current situation : I get a server, Windows 2008 R2. I've only install Hyper-V and Failover Cluster. I can create a VM but when I try to launch it, I get an error message into a popup (translated from french) : "The application encountered
    an error during modification of 'vm_name' state". "'vm_name' could not be initialize". "Could not initialize machine remoting system. Error 'Element not found'. (0x80070490). "Could not find a usable certificate. Error: 'Element not found'. (0x80070490)."
    So, I'm unable to launch my vm's.
    I'm not using SCVMM yet. I want to resolve this issue before.
    I read some articles and posts about SCVMM certificate issue but I'm not using SCVMM.
    More fun, I read articles about this issue but on Windows 2008 Server (not R2) : problem resolved by a fix, unapplicable on my Windows 2008 R2 :)
    I'm totalyblocked and ain't got no idea how I can resolve it.
    If someone gets I idea ...
