Windows 8.1 and Remote Desktop

I realize this question or problem has been asked a lot. I figured I would just ask the question too. I have a new HP Pavilion desktop computer running (original) Windows 8. Windows 8 came pre-installed with this computer. I have
a problem trying to remote into this Windows 8 computer from a Vista computer. Since I was never able to get RD to work under Windows 8, I thought I would update to Windows 8.1. Nothing changed. I STILL can't remote into this computer even
with 8.1 installed. The computer is listed under Network and has an IP address.
On this computer, I have a local account and a Windows Live account. Under the firewall, I have enabled any remote settings and checked the Private and Public. Nothing.
Yes, I have RD checked and I have remote assistance checked too. The funny thing is that I don't have any options to set the level of security. It is blank. There is nothing there.
What am I missing here? I want to be able to remote into this computer.

Hi，
For this issue,I may need a few more information to understand the issue better.
1.Did you get any error messages?
2.Can you connect to other PC with Remote Desktop Connection?
3.Did Windows vista ping Windows 8.1 successfully?
First,please refer to the following article to narrow down this issue:
Remote Desktop Connection: frequently asked questions
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/remote-desktop-connection-faq#1TC=windows-8
Then,please temporarily disable Windows firewall and security software to test this issue.
Also,please check the event viewer to see if some error log appeared when the issue occurred.

HT201068 In the Ap Store "Updates" window, it says that "Remote Desktop Client Update" was installed today. I never intentionally installed "Remote Desktop". How did it get there, Where is it on my computer, and How can I remove it? Thank You!

Windows Server 2008R2 running Remote Desktop Services reports printer process does not exist when installing PDF printer

Windows Server 2008R2 running Remote Desktop Services reports printer process does not exist when installing PDF printer, And when Installing network printers from the domain controller it reports it cannot connect to printer. I can ping all
network devices. I can connect to the internet.
On boot I get a netlogon 5719 error followed by service control manager errors 7023,7001 and a group policy error 1129.
Clients can connect to the remote application and RDP operates to connect to the server internally and externally.
The domain controller is another server 2008r2 box. I have scoured the internet but have not found any solutions that work yet.

Hi,
After referring to your post, it can be identified that the issue which you are facing is mostly due to some network issue in your environment. Please recheck your network connection issue between computer and domain controller.
Can you able to ping with IP address and also with fully qualified name of a domain controller in the users' and computers' domain. If it fails states that name resolution issue with computer and domain controller. Are you using MS DHCP Relay agent then there’s
available Hotfix for the particular Event ID. Please go through this KB 2459530 to fix the error event ID.
As per the net logon error 5719 which you are facing states that the client component of Netlogon was unable to locate a DC for the domain it was trying to perform an operation against. Below is one of the reason. If this is being logged on a DC and the event
refers to the DC's own domain, something might be preventing the client component of Netlogon from starting a network session (to itself or to another DC in the domain). The following event 7001 & 7023 states start & stop operation service. Please
go through beneath article for more details.
1. Event ID 5719 is logged when you start a computer
2. Netlogon 5719 and the Disappearing Domain [Controller]
3. Event ID 1129 — Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy
Hope it helps!

How could I turn off the Command Key to Windows Key mapping in Remote Desktop for Mac 8

I'd like to be able to turn the Command key->Windows key mapping off. In this new app, whenever I use the Command key to initiate a Mac-side function, it registers a press of the Windows key within the Remote Desktop session. Speaking only
for myself, I use the Command Key for quite a lot of Mac operations, while my need and expectation for a Windows key press is zero.

Agreed. Cannot stop it by disabling the "Windows" key (from within Windows 7). Every time I Cmd-Tab to change apps, the Start Menu pops up,
and persists, overlaying other app windows. Much more than annoying.
Also, there is no Clipboard Sharing, apparently. Love typing in long binary strings into the Registry.

Remote control and remote desktop client in sccm 2012 ?

What is the difference between remote control and remote desktop client in sccm 2012 ?

Remote Control is a built-in feature for SCCM 2012 and uses the RPC protocol. When you use this, the user can still be logged on while helping.
Remote Desktop is a buit-in feature for Windows and uses the RDP protcol. When you use it, the user will be logged off.
Why you would use one over the other depends on your requirements.

Windows XP couldn't remote desktop Windows2012

Hi Everyone:
I have an issue as the following lines indicates.
"An authentication error has occured.The specified target is unknown or unreachable"
The remote side is Server2012,however the Windows 7 client can remote desktop the Windows Server 2012 sucessfully.
Any help or suggestion will be appreciated.
By the way how to verify my account,I want to insert a problem picture,however the system told me that I should verfiy my account by Microsoft first.

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Agree with the words of Jeremy, firstly please check that required details for server connection. In addition, also verify that on your RDCB server, go to system properties, Remote tab and make sure that Allow connections only from computers running Remote
Desktop with Network Level Authentication is unchecked.
Hope it helps!
Thanks.

Can't configure my windows 8.1 to Remote Desktop

Hi,

Could you guys help me?

Windows 2012 R2 Active Directory Domain Services and Remote Desktop services Role on the same server.

Findings:
Currently, Windows 2012 R2 AD DS role and RDS With Broker services can only seem to coexist properly in a new domain not an existing domain. Any attempt to add to an existing domain causes internal database user access denied issues and any attempt to
adjust rights and circumvent is dubious at best.
The escalation technician said it best. Out of 50 clients that want to do this, they end up not being able to help 5 right off the bat for whatever reason. As for the other 40 they might be able to help by running reports, adjusting rights and trying to add
the roles until it works. This can end up being a 20 day process. Basically they are playing whack-a-mole with user rights and permissions until something sticks.
We tried creating an OU where any other domain policies would not be inherited to see if that was the issue, a fresh install with different sequence of adding the Roles, no effect.
Given the errors I witnessed when running procmon and then trying to add the roles, the NT System and the Windows Internal database user had access denied issues on 100+ registry keys when trying to add the roles. After that the system is not behaving normally.
The errors displayed almost mirror the errors that would occur on Windows 2012 when those two roles would be added which of course is officially NOT supported on that system.
This blog needs serious revision:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/rds/archive/2013/07/09/what-s-new-in-remote-desktop-services-for-windows-server-2012-r2.aspx
This is the excerpt from that blog: Single server RDS deployment including Active Directory. We now support running our RD Connection Broker role service on the same physical instance as an Active Directory Domain Controller. In addition, we published
guidelines for how RD Session Host could be used without the RD Connection Broker.
Microsoft Support was curteous and helpful and they were the ones who advised cutting our losses, which mirrored my hunch after seeing what was transpiring in the system. They refunded my money for the support call.
For me, it was an opportunity to find out if there was any way to configure Windows 2012 R2 in the Same manner that it was setup as Windows 2008 R2 and lay that to rest. The coexistence is poorly implemented. It is as if there was a reaction from all the deprecation
of bread and butter features such as shadowing in TS and the coexistence of AD DS and RDS to where those features were re-added haphazardly. (I have no complaints on shadowing on Windows 2012 R2 it works, just do not like having to go to server manager to
use it).
I opted for virtualizing the Domain controller to eliminate the incompatibility issues and that is what I will be doing from now on. I found free solutions for backing up and reporting for virtual machines as well as the suggested procedures for configruing
a Domain controller as a virtual machine on a Hyper-V environment and I will be sticking to those. Thus far the setup has been operational.
I am not allergic to virtualization, but for really small setups it adds additional time and considerations but if that is how it has to be done, so be it. Windows 2008 R2 days are numbered and since we can usually squeeze 5-7 years on quality server equipment,
buying a Windows 2008 R2 setup now is a borderline disservice in my opinion.
Hopefully someone finds this useful and saves some time.

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Do you need any other assistance?
Based on your description, you are describing your story of successfully implementing RDS server with AD role and more regarding all RDS related scenario. For shadowing feature, you can use with command also. Below is the syntax to shadow a session.
mstsc /v:<ServerName> /shadow:<SessionID>
Hope it helps!
Thanks.

MacBook with OS X and remote desktop to Windows server

I am curious if an apple MacBook running OS X 10.4 can be used as a remote desk top to access a Windows 2000 server. It is easy to do so with a Windows PC with Windows XP. However this necessitates carrying a Windows machine while travelling. I like the MacBook Pro I have and would like to use it for remote access. I do not want to install Windows on the MAC even though I can do it with my MacBook Pro.
Any thoughts? Or are there sittes addressing this issue?
Thanks in advance.
Raj

OS 10.6.3 and Remote Desktop for windows server, PDF Printer problem

We are using Remote desktop for mac by windows in the office to work on a remote windows server, On the server we are using a business software (Mamut) for sale. In OS 10.5 we are using the PDF Printer to transfer PDF (invoice) from the business software (Mamut) 'Mamut is seeing the PDF printer as any other printer' to the desk top of your mac, so we can attach the PDF to a mail before we send it out to a customer, but in OS 10.6 the PDF printer is removed! So we need a different way of transfer the PDF from the windows server to the mac desk top.
So now I am wondering if any one has a suggestion on how to fix this! if not we can't upgrade to OS 10.6, and that would be a shame!

The thing is that in Mamut, we hit print, and because we us the PDF printer as Printer for Remote desk top, it pup up on the desk top of the mac, as a PDF. But in OS 10.6 there isn't any PDF printer to install, so then we have to make a PDF on the windows server and move it from the server to the mac, by mounting the HD from the Mac to the remote desk top, so it become edible in from the server. I think this is cumbersome.

Can Thunderbird and Lightning be installed and used as a Windows Server 8 r2 remote desktop application.

Can Thunderbird and Lightning be successfully installed as a remote desktop (terminal server) application on Windows Server 8 r2? In this scenario, users would access Thunderbird and Lightning via Windows (or Linux or Mac) remote desktop connection. Each user has there own home folder and profile on remote desktop server. I want to make sure that an individual user will be able to maintain individual email accounts, folders, settings, etc. as if Thunderbird and Lightning were installed on a stand alone PC. Any tips or things to watch out for in this scenario would be helpful.

HP LaserJet Pro MFP M127fn and Remote Desktop Connection

So, my pc operates on Win7-64bit. I use Remote Desktop Connection to log in to the company server, running on MS Server 2008. I purchased the HP MFP M127fn today after confirming that it is compatible with both OS listed above. I successfully installed it directly to the server via usb cord - to make sure the correct drivers downloaded to the server. I was able to test-print and print from an app while physically connected to the server. I then disconnected the printer from the server and successfully connected it to my local pc. I can test-print and print from an app on my desktop. When connect to the server via RDC, it recognizes the MFP M127fn as my default printer, and sends a print job to my local pc. I can see the job in the server print queue, I can see the print job in queue on my desktop....it spools, then says it prints, however no actual print job ever materializes.
If I select to print to the MFP M127fn fax from the server, it will open the fax window on my desktop, allow me to enter a phone number, and will dial out and send the fax. So, that driver is functioning properly.
So, my question is this: If the printer and fax claim to be successfully installed, why do I not get the print job that is sent via the server and appears in my local print queue? I get no error, either on the server side or the local desktop. They both truly think the job has printed.....but no paper ever comes out.
Our company has used several other HP printers over the years with this same set-up and have never had a problem until now. The last one was also an HP MFP - the CM1312. So, I am now completely stumped by this. I called HP support and was routed through 4 different areas before I was told that no one had a clue what the problem might be. I then called the Easy-Tech desk at Staples, where I bought the printer, and was told that it was most-likely a hardware issue and I should return the printer to swap it out for another one. If nothing would print at all, I would agree it's hardware. But, as I can print locally, I'm more-inclined to think it's driver-related......any suggestions?

Hi,
The M127fn uses the PCLmS printing language which is a lightweight printing language, a such is not supported for RDP printing.
As a reference you may find the following socument about Citrix, Terminal Services and RDP Printing, as you may find listed the M127 is not supported for a such:
http://h20195.www2.hp.com/v2/GetDocument.aspx?docname=4aa0-8465enw&404m=secure-erc
That is clearly not an harware issue, however I suggest returning the printer and replacing it with a different model which better feet such a task.
The M225dn as an example uses a PCL 6 print driver and should provide a better feet for RDP printing using HP UPD.

My keyboard doesn't work when I connect to a Windows 7 computer with Remote Desktop.

I got a new computer at work that has Windows 7 Professional 64-bit on it. I set up a Remote Desktop connection from my iMac at home and connected. However, when I tried to use the keyboard, nothing happened. After a little pecking I found that the DELETE key worked. Also, I found that the keyboard would work correctly if I held down the FUNCTION key. Very weird.
My old Windows XP computer was still connected so I connected to it via Remote Desktop. The keyboard works normally there. It has always worked in Windows XP so I was surprised when it didn't work in Windows 7.
I've been searching but haven't found anyone with this same issue. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
