Windows client for ARD?

I'm looking in to how to establish a remote desktop connection from Windows to Macs with the stipulation that we not use VNC so I'm wondering if a Windows client for ARD exists.
If not, does anyone have a suggestion for doing RDC from Windows to Mac. I can already do it going from Mac to Windows using MS's client or the open source CoRD, but I'm really hitting dead-ends trying to figure out how to go the other way.

To continue what Templeton Peck said, most any VNC client will work. I personally prefer UltraVNC, and I use that to control 5 different Windows machines from my Mac. While you don't get all the advanced options like sharing clipboards, waking/shutting down, collecting reports etc... You still get full access to the remote Windows machine as you do when you connect to a Mac in ARD.

Virtual Windows Clients for testing

Rather than having a bunch of local virtual Windows clients (Windows 7, Windows 7 64 bit, Windows 8, Windows 8.1) set up with different Office version for testing our own applications, I'd like to have them on Azure. Only for testing code with our development
partners.
So far I can not find any such offering on the Azure portal.
This Q&A seems to suggest that is not allowed.

Can
customers rent Windows Client desktops on Azure or other Service providers?
No, multi-tenant hosting is restricted in the Product Use Rights of Windows Client, such as Windows 7 or Windows 8. Windows Client Desktops are not available on either Azure or on any other Service Provider such as Amazon or Rackspace.
You can read more about the Microsoft Product Use Rights here.
Can
customers run Microsoft Office and Windows 7 Client on Virtual Machines using License Mobility for Software Assurance?
No. Under the Microsoft Product use Rights (PUR), Office and Windows 7 are not licensed to run on Virtual Machines. In particular, Microsoft Office is classified in the PUR as “Desktop Applications”, which is not included in Licensing
Mobility.
Amazon Workspaces?
Seems to be what I want, although only Windows 7 and Office 2010/2013. I also need Visio as our product is an add in to Visio. http://aws.amazon.com/workspaces/
Is this available on Azure and what are my options to get a simple cloud hosted virtual machine with Windows for testing?
Thanks!

Hi,
For MSDN subscribers, Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 images are available when creating a VM in Azure gallery.
http://azure.microsoft.com/blog/2014/05/29/windows-client-images-on-azure/
If you have no MSDN subscription, you can upload a Windows client image to Azure storage account and use it to create a VM. However, since the limitation of license
in Azure, you cannot activate it.
In addition, you can also submit a feedback to release the images of Windows client OS in Azure gallery for all subscriptions:

Installing minimal windows client for ODBC

Does anybody know how to install an oracle ODBC driver to access oracle databases with the following:
- keep oracle client as small as possible (jdbc needs less than 1.5 MB!)
- not to use tnsnames.ora (jdbc does not need this and works fine)
- connecting to databases from workstation as user and not administrator (8.x works but 10.....)
- not to change registry nls_lang entry for connecting to different databases with different settings!
I did never before encounter problems like this with other databases. As we have to user oracle (with ODBC) we have to configure our clients.
btw: odbc driver version is 10g

Thanks a lot for your help,
I got a step further. The mistake was to set the path on the main directory which in my case was C:\Instantclient
instead of the directory created unzipping the installation files: C:\Instantclient\instantclient_10_2
But now I'm in defining the datasouce:
As stated in the help file:
Before you configure the data source, you must configure network database services so there is an entry for each TNS Service Name. To do this, start the Oracle Net Manager by one of the following methods:
From the start menu, select Programs, select Oracle for Windows NT, and select the Oracle Net Manager.
Using the Oracle Net Manager, you can create an entry in the tnsnames.ora file for each TNS Service Name. The Oracle Net Manager is installed when you install Oracle Net Services.
But I don't have any entry in the program group. Does the instant client create an entry as well?
Do I have do install the Oracle Net Services additionally to the Instant client?
In the releasenotes above from legatti they are talking about an TNS_ADMIN entry which has to point to the ora files?
Do I have to define this as systemparameter pointing to the C:\Instantclient\instantclient_10_2 directory as well.
Thanks a lot for every hint

DNS caching problem when configuring Windows clients for SCAN

I have a Windows 2008 R2 server running apps that connect to a RAC cluster database using the SCAN address. The SCAN address however always returns the same IP when you ping it from that server. If I flush the DNS cache I get a different address, but again the same one all the time. I believe this is caused by the fact that DNS caching is enabled on Windows by default. This has caused problems when one of the RAC nodes goes south and the cached SCAN IP is not responding. The applications lose their connections, try to reconnect, but can't because they keep using the same dead SCAN IP.
I suggested we disable the DNS Client service on those machines so that the SCAN name correctly cycles through the addresses but the Windows admin says not to do this. Is there a documented practice somewhere that this is OK to do for Windows RAC clients? Or is there a way to disable caching just on the SCAN name but leave it enabled from every other host name?
TIA

What happened was the SCAN VIP did not fail over. The node VIP did not fail over. The database instance was running but I could not connect to it even locally as sysdba. I got the message "protocol adapter error". This normally only occurs on Windows for local connections when either (a) the Oracle service is not running, or (b) you didn't set the ORACLE_SID variable correctly. Neither was true.
I tried "crsctl stop crs" but it could not stop the listeners.
I rebooted the server. During the reboot, neither the VIP no SCAN VIPs failed over. It's almost as if CRS either didnt recognize tat the other node had been shutdown, or it didn't care.
I have never seen this happen before.
For the record this is Oracle RAC 11.2.0.1.

What is the best client for ARD from ubuntu linux?

I attempt to connect to my mac mini running osx 10.7 from ubuntu linux using the default vncviewer application and the tightvnc client and I get to the login display but am unable to click on any of the users nor log in. I was successful from my windows7 laptop, but not from my windows xp HTPC--ultravnc gets to the login prompt, showed me the password field, but didn't allow me to change focus to that field, however, this isn't reproducable since I get a different behavior each time I try to remote in.

Back up all data. Update all third-party software to the latest version and remove any you don't need. Download the Yosemite installer from the App Store. Run it.

Are there any workable Windows clients for messages server?

I've just tried Jitsi which looked promising but won't connect.

Hi,
Many thanks for the reply but there's no mention of video on the Web site and according to WikiPedia video is not available on Windows:

Official RDP client for all major platforms and certificate issue only on windows

We have been fully embracing RDS and remote apps(working great internally). On the four major platforms OSX iOS Android and Windows we are using the official Microsoft application to connect to "Remote Resources" through VPN. Every platform besides
windows just popped up a certificate error you could accept. The windows client from the windows store was a miserable experience by going to the webpage and installing the certificate into the Trusted Root Certification Authorities. Something no end user
will be able to achieve.
Why is the windows experience worse then the other 3 platforms. I am by no means certificate expert. Is this where we purchase an offical certificate and not have this issue? Still doesn't explain the lack of user friendliness on windows compared to the
other OS'es

Hi,
I understand what you mean. One thing to keep in mind is that making it as easy as it is on the non-windows clients for end users to simply choose to trust the certificate and proceed is a security risk. If the end users would contact their admin
via phone and verify that the thumbprint shown matches the cert thumbprint on the server then it would be okay, but people generally will not do that.

NFSv4.0 client for Windows servers?

Does anyone know if there is an NFSv4.0 client that I can install on my Windows servers (2008 and 2012) to access a file system that supports the NFSv4.0 protocol?
I tried the native Windows "Client for NFS" but it appears to be using NFSv3 (client uses v3 MOUNT commands). I also tried a client from UMichigan, but it only supports v4.1 (separate protocol).
Would really appreciate your help!

Hi,
On Windows Server 2008, you can use Services for NFS with UNIX computers which are running NFS client or server software which complies with version 2 or version 3 of the NFS protocol. On Windows Server 2012, you can use NFS Version 4.1 Protocol Specification.
For more detailed information, you could refer to the articles below:

OWB 10g Release 1, version 10.1.0.3, windows client download

Hi,
I am looking for the windows client for the OWB version 10.1.0.3. I am not able to locate the software download anywhere in the Oracle website, could not locate the archive location from where I could download older versions if any.
Any help locating the download in oracle site or in any other means is appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

Thanks for your response...
Yeah, I have a client running 10g R1 version 10.1.0.3 server and the only client installed windows machine crashed and they are using the client on the server. It would be very useful if they could have the windows client for that specific version.
We are also doing a fresh install of OWB 10.2.0.5 on a new server and trying to create the repository and import the .mdl project backup from the prod server (OWB 10.1.0.3).

I checked OpenVPN but it is also not available for WP 8.1.
Is there any APIs available for creating a VPN client in WP 8.1 similar to

Cisco Jabber Client for Windows 9.7 Can't Connect to Other IPSec VPN Clients Over Clustered ASAs

Environment:
2 x ASA 5540s (at two different data centers) configured as a VPN Load Balancing Cluster
Both ASAs are at version 8.4(5)6
IPSec VPN Client version: 5.0.07.440 (64-bit)
Jabber for Windows v9.7.0 build 18474
Issue:
If I am an IPSec VPN user…
I can use Jabber to another IPSec VPN user that is connected to the same ASA appliance.
I can’t use Jabber to another IPSec VPN user that is connected to the different ASA appliance that I am connected to.
In the hub-and-spoke design, where the VPN ASA is a hub, and the VPN client is a spoke; if you have two hubs clustered together, how does one spoke communicate with another spoke on the other hub in the cluster? (How to allow hairpinning to the other ASA)

Portu,
Thanks for your quick reply.
Unfortunately, I do not have access to the ASA logs nor would I be permitted to turn on the debug settings asked for above. I might be able to get the logs but it will take awhile and I suspect they wouldn't be helpful as this ASA supports thousands of clients, therefore, separating out my connection attempts from other clients would be difficult.
I can, though, do whatever you want on the Linux router. Looking over the firewall logs at the time of this problem, I don't see anything that looks suspicious such as dropped packets destined for the Windows client.
As I said in my original post, I'm not a networking expert - by any means - but I am willing to try anything to resolve this. (But I might need a bit of handholding if I need to set up a wireshark andor tcpdump.)
Thanks again.

Cisco Jabber for Windows Client SDK

Is there an SDK for Cisco Jabber for Windows client? I could only find the Web SDK. Are there no other SDKs that would let me control features of the Jabber Windows Client?

And in order to avoid TAPI limitation, they say they have started using Jabber which controls all phone functionalities through an Application User connected to the Call Manager.
Assuming they are referring to the normal Jabber for Windows/Mac/iOS/Android applications then this is wrong. Jabber - the client, not the IM&P servers which are part of the CUCM cluster (if you're familiar with Lync consider CUCM+IM&P servers a Front End Pool) - do not use an Application User at all. When a user starts Jabber, assuming SAML SSO is off, they supply an email address. This is used to find the servers via DNS SRV records, or the Mobile and Remote Access Expressway (roughly analogous to a Lync Edge pool) to tunnel through the firewall. After the email address they are prompted for their End User username and password. This is then used to access several APIs on the server, namely the User Data Service to discover what the user has. This would include what the user has configured/available to them. After this is done the Jabber client does one of three things with respect to phone functionality:
If the user has no phone devices provisioned for them - physical or software - it becomes an IM&P client only.
If the user has a software phone phone provisioned, it registers as that using SIP. In this way Jabber is the actual phone. This is called a CSF device for Jabber Windows/OS X.
If the user has a desk phone assigned to their End User account AND administrative policy is to default to desk phone control, it registers to CTI Manager on the CUCM server to control the user's physical phone.
A user can toggle between option two and three, if appropriately provisioned, but cannot have both simultaneously. In other words, Jabber is either controlling a physical phone over CTI or is a phone itself using SIP. The difference is where the audio/video media is sent from/to.
All of this happens using that human's End User credentials.
Now, if you wanted to have a server control the user's phone - either a physical one or Jabber - you would use the TSP as an interface to CTI Manager on the CUCM server and receive real-time events (e.g. the user went off-hook, the phone is ringing with this caller ID, etc.) and issue commands to that phone (e.g. make a call to X). This is done using an Application User account because the server would need to do this for multiple users simultaneously. If you also use the Super Provider concept, the CUCM administrator doesn't have to take the extra step of associating every phone to your Application User manually. Instead, you can simply issue CTI subscriptions to see any/all device activity you want.
This is all assuming you wanted to do the integration server-side to avoid having to update the Cisco TSP application on every user PC (which also limits your WPF application to machines capable of running the TSP) every time the CUCM administrator patches the servers. If you don't care about that, then you can do this all client-side on the user's PC, and have them supply their End User credentials.
Of course, you could also reconsider the Jabber SDK and just embed the make/receive call functionality directly into your application instead.

Directory Caching issue with Cisco Jabber client for Windows

Hi ,
I am facing cache issue with Cisco Jabber client for Windows. If I do any change related to modification or deletion of contacts in Active Directory/ Callmanager, it does not reflect in the Jabber. Because jabber takes the contacts from the locally stored cache file in the Windows system.
Every time I have to remove the cache file to overcome this issue, practically it's not possible to do the same with all the Widows users. As, if any employee leaves the company and still I can see his contact appears in the "Cisco Jabber client". I have not seen this issue with Android/Apple iOS.
Is there any automated way to remove the cache file?
Here is the detail of CUCM,Presence and Jabber.
CUCM version: 9.1.x
Presence : 9.1.X
Jabber : 10.5 and 10.6

Hello
On our environment we had to install a dedicated Microsoft Certificate Authority "just for Cisco Jabber usage" to house the
Network Device Enrollment Service.
Our certificate for the CUPS were generated on this Certification Authority too.
I discussed this certificate matter with my colleagues this afternoon and nobody seems to remember how these certificates were deployed into the
Enterprise Trust store for the users.
But I think they asked all 400 users to accept the 3 certificates by answering "yes" to the popup instead of using a script deployed by GPO...
I wish you success with that deployment and really hope you have a technical partner that *Knows* this subject.
Our partner left us alone with that unfortunately.
Florent
EDIT: If the "Certutil script method" works, please let me know. This could be useful in our own deployment.
