Windows XP machine to ARD 3.0 running on PPC 10.4.9 OS X Server

Hi all,
I want to be able to connect FROM a Windows XP machine over the internet to a PPC OS X Server 10.4.9 running machine that has ARD3.0 installed.
What software do I need on the Windows machine?
Do I need ARD 3.0 on the Mac OS X at all?
I want to be able to connect to the OS X machine, log in and then run applications on it and have a graphical interface..
Thank you in advance.

Sorry, but you can't do much if anything to improve performance of the built-in VNC client. If VNC isn't sufficient, you might want to try Microsoft's Remote Desktop Connection Client for Mac or CoRD (a freeware alternative to Remote Desktop Connection Client) instead.

How to control windows XP machine with ARD (by using a VNC Client on the PC

I have TightVNC on the Windows machine and I can control it fine with Chicken of the VNC on the Mac; however, I would like to control the Windows machine with ARD like Apple's website states.
How do I do this?
thanks
Matt

Thanks, I found my problem to be the VNC client I was using on the PC's. I was using TightVNC and while it worked for Chicken, it did not work for ARD. Once I installed RealVNC and configured it everything worked beautifully.
thanks

Getting "setup.exe has stopped working" message when trying to install labview 2011 or 2012 on a windows 7 machine

I am getting a "setup.exe has stopped working" message when trying to install labview 2011 or 2012 on a windows 7 machine. I already tried running setup.exe as an administrator with the same results. I have Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.1 installed on the affected machine. Could this be the cause of this issue? Or does someone know the root cause of such error?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi - are you getting it at the start of installation, during or after 100% progress has finished?
Is it just LabVIEW you're installing, or is it drivers too, in which case, what was the last large package that was installing at the time?
This could be caused by the NVIDIA chipset driver :

Mailbox Export from Windows 7 Machine Not Working

Good Morning All
We are running Exchange 2007 SP3 on a Windows 2003 R2 server. From my Windows XP machine I am able to use the export-mailbox command without issue. From my Windows 7 machine I am unable to run this command at all and receive this error "Cannot
open the log file 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\Logging\MigrationLogs\export-Mailbox20140404-101249-2436620.log'."
Is it possible to use the export-mailbox command from a 64bit Windows 7 machine?

How sure about that are you?

I'm not installing a x86 Win 7 VM to test, so let's see what the OP comes back with !
Native PST import / export was added to Exchange in 2010 SP1. Prior to that we relied on the Outlook bits.

In DCOMCnfg "Run application on this computer" is grayed out for my application on two Windows 7 machines, but it works fine on all other machines

We have a COM application that is installed on hundreds of machines around the country. We have instructions included in our install doc of how to set up DCOMCnfg. On one machine in the field and one machine in our lab (both happen to be Windows 7 machines) the checkbox "Run application on this computer" on the location tab in DCOMCnfg is grayed out and therefore we cannot access our engine remotely.
I turned off UAC before installing (we found that the install works much better than way) and it is actually still off. I do not get any DCOM errors in the Windows Event logs when I try to access via DCOM, I just get the standard -2147023174 Server Error. I have added CallFailureLoggingLevel to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\OLE and set it to 1 to enable logging, but still no errors in the event logs.
I pulled a DCOMTest utility off of the Microsoft site. Initially it failed, but there were entries in the event logs indicating that it did not have the permissions it needed. I opened up those permissions and now that test utility works fine. So, DCOM is functioning between the two computers.
This application is used with DCOM by hundreds of people, so I know the application should be working properly. I have uninstalled and reinstalled to verify that everything is registered properly. I have tried turning off the firewall and the anti-virus. I am logged in as an administrator
I am at a loss. Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi,
This issue can occur if the current user profile does not have enough permission or related system file is corrupted. Please try the following steps to troubleshoot the issue.
1. Assure the current user account has administrator permission. If not, please add it to Administrators Group and then test the issue again.
2. Restart the machine in Safe Mode and logon to the machine with the account: administrator. Then, please check whether the option is grayed out.
3. If the option is still grayed out, please try this step.
a. Open C:\Windows\System32 folder and change the ownership of the ComUID.dll file from "trusted installer" to administrators group.
b. Rename that file as ComUID.dll.org
c. Copy the attached ComUID.dl_ file from the Windows 7 installation disk to C:\Windows\System32 folder and rename it to ComUID.dll
Thanks,

AS 3 project swf compiled in flash builder(on mac) does not run on windows 7 machine

Hey there!!
I have a as3 project that I'm building using flash builder 4.5. When I run or debug in FB it's fine, but when I move it to the windows 7 machine its going to live on nothing shows up. Not even the first function or any traces. I have tried to make the project into an air app but when I try to run it, the paths seem to be all messed up. I'm ok with dealing with the path issue later but for now and for testing I need to be able to just grab the swf that FB spits out and test it on the machine. Before you say use the flash ide the other developer uses only fb so if I can get it to work they will have to come to me everytime to compile if they just want to test something.
Thanks
Jorge

ok guys get ready for this one!
there where a couple of issues. yes it did help that i exported the project to the debug folder instead of deploy folder we set up. but it still wasnt 100% right. so, one issue is that our asset swc was huge. we had everything under the sun in there. so, it would not compile correctly. how did i find this out you ask? i tried to run it in just the flash ide and it would compile so i knew something was super wrong. second, at some point somehow some of our text fields in the asset swc where converted to one of those new fangled tlf type text fields. we never added that swc to the compile path. somehow flash builder just ignored that and still built the swf but it mustve been corrupted to begin with.
so the morale of the story keep an eye on your assets!!

Can FMLE run on a 64 bit Windows 7 machine?

I run it now on my Windows 7 32 bit machine but was getting ready to buy a new computer and wanted to get a 64 bit Windows 7 machine. Will FMLE run on a 64 bit Windows OS?

Yes, we currently run it on a Dell Precision Rackmounted 64 Bit system and capabilities are fine.

Would it be possible to redirect an incoming RDP request to a Hyper-V hypervisor running on a Windows 8 machine?

Hello,
I'm currently a Computer Systems Networks student in my Final Year, and I'm doing some research into a project I'm working on.
What I'm currently looking at is the feasibility of using existing Microsoft tech to redirect an RDP request (received by a server) to a separate cluster of physical machines on the same network running Windows 8/Windows 8.1, which themselves would be running
a Hyper-V hypervisor. I am aware that Windows Server 2008 R2 (and thus, I'm also assuming 2012) has an option to redirect an RDP request to a virtual machine which is in a pool, but to my knowledge (although I may be mistaken), the pool can only hold virtual
machines which are running on the same server.
In addition, my project will involve the establishment (and destruction of) virtual machines as the need arises, with user-specified resource availability.
I'd be grateful to anyone offering answers/advice. Similarly, if you need additional information to understand the project, please let me know and I'll try to elaborate.
Many thanks,
Chris Hill

Not sure how that would work.. The Connection Broker redirects the user to the server in the collection that's most preferable based on a number of criteria.. Current session, load, etc. So if your vms are all part of the same collection I'd say no.
Nothing is stopping you from creating a new collection for every VM though. That way a user can always connect to the same vm / collection through the broker.
I posted some step-by-step guides on 2012 R2 Remote Desktop setups on my personal blog (link in my profile since I'm not sure if I'm allowed to promote a personal blog here), perhaps those posts can help you in the right direction.
Cheers,
Arjan

Any problems running Windows 7-created help output on Windows XP machines?

Hi,
I feel a bit silly even asking this, but I'm not a coder and don't have the technical knowledge to know for sure that it's a silly question.
Background: We are upgrading to Windows 7 from XP in the near future. We will be using RoboHelp 10 and Word 2010 - at least that's the plan ...
For our department's major product, since it's big and has been around a long time, we are still stuck using RoboHelp for Word to generate WinHelp. We then use the RHelp for Word source to generate WebHelp, since some modules of the product require WinHelp, some require HTML pages, and much of the source material is needed in both outputs. And yes, I did read someone's post likening this process to drinking coffee while running a sprint - believe me, if I had any choice about this I wouldn't be doing it. If RoboHelp has added the capability to generate WinHelp from RoboHelp HTML, let me know .
Anyway, because of previous weird experiences after upgrades, I am being asked to find out: Has anyone used RoboHelp for Word to generate help output - .hlp or .chm or HTML pages - on a Windows 7 machine and tested it on a Windows XP machine? If so, were any problems observed?
Assuming we can still creak along with RoboHelp 10 to generate the same antiquated output ... which we can, right?? ... my gut tells me that a file is a file and I can't see why an .hlp file or web-based help files that run on Windows 7 wouldn't run on XP. But again, I don't have the technical knowledge to say this for certain.
Any advice appreciated. Thank you - Sandy

Creating an output on a later OS does not affect its ability to be used an older OS. The issue, as you know, is creating winhelp to be used on Windows 7 or 8. That forces each user to download a file to support winhelp.

I am trying to remote into a Windows Server 2003 from a Windows 7 machine and having issues

I am trying to remote into a Windows Server 2003 from a Windows 7 machine. It says "The terminal server has exceeded the maximum number of allowed connections".
My first stop in trying to solve this problem was here:
[URL="http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows/command-line-hack-for-terminal-server-has-exceeded-the-maximum-number-of-allowed-connections/"]howtogeek.com[/URL]
And it says:
[I]
[INDENT]This problem happens because Windows only allows two remote terminal services connections when you are in administrative mode, and you’ve either got two people already on that server, or more likely, you’ve got a disconnected session that still thinks
it is active.
The problem with this error is that you have to actually get on the server console to fix the problem if the server isn’t in a domain. ([B]If you are in a domain, then just open Terminal Services Manager and log off or disconnect the sessions[/B])[/INDENT][/I]
So it seems to suggest that all I have to do really is to run the Terminal Services Manager but I cannot find it.
This web site from mssqltips.com [URL="http://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/1981/remote-desktop-error-terminal-server-has-exceeded-the-maximum-number-of-allowed-connections/"](click here)[/URL] says all I need to do is first execute "mstsc /
admin" from the command line. But, when I do that, I get a message when I try to remote to the server, that says this: "To log on to this remote console session, you must have administrative permissions on this computer".
So, what now? What do you suggest?

Hi Bobby,
Yes, it is by design. By default, Windows Server only accepts two concurrent administrative sessions (Administrative Mode). It means that only two administrators can work on the server at
the same time.
If you would like more concurrent sessions, you need to purchase RDS CALs, install Terminal Services related server roles with proper configurations on the server.

Windows Vista Machine Can No Longer Connect to Mac Following Upgrade

Before: Windows Vista machine with 6 drive letters mapped to the 6 hard drives in my Mac Pro running 10.5.8.
After: Mac Pro upgraded to 10.6. Now the Vista machine cannot connect to any of the drive letters, nor can it open the Mac Pro by browsing -- the Mac Pro shows up, but cannot be opened. A second Windows machine also cannot open any shares on the Mac Pro.
I have checked all of the settings in Network on the Mac Pro and they look fine. Does anyone have any ideas for things to check?

I was able to see the other Windows XP computer and begin to connect. I was then presented with a login screen. I tried using the usual user name and password - no luck. I then formatted the user name as as follows:
user name: computer name\user name
password: as normal
And it worked. Specifically in my case:
user: cwy-pln2152\administrator
password: planning
This is what worked for me your mileage may vary.

How do I disable the hardware acceleration in Flash player on a Windows XP machine remotely?

How do I disable the hardware acceleration in Flash player on a Windows XP machine remotely?
I have a few hundred computers running Adobe Flash Player.
The operation system is Windows XP.
They are Compaq 6005 desktop PC’s, with an inbuilt ATI radeon HD 4200 video card.
We have a persistent issue where viewing a flash video (e.g. something on youtube) causes the video card driver to crash. You are left with no video signal to the monitor. Audio continues and the computer still responds to commands. This only happens when watching flash video.
We have tried:
Updating flash plugin (numerous versions)
Updating the video card drivers (we have tried the last three video card driver versions, including the HP drivers and ATI drivers)
Updating the browsers (this problem happens with IE8/9 and Firefox10/11/12)
There seems to be two ways to work round this issue. One is to disable the video acceleration in the ‘troubleshoot’ section in the advanced part of the display settings area in windows. The other way is to start a flash video, right click, go to ‘settings’ and untick the box marked ‘Enable Hardware Acceleration’.
Doing either of these things allows the user to view flash videos with no apparent issues.
Is there a way to disable the hardware acceleration in Flash without visiting the PC? Perhaps an undocumented option in the mms.cfg file? I understand that you can use an option to skip the video card check, and so force hardware acceleration on, can you do the opposite?
Thanks in advance
Daniel.

Hi.
I have had over 200 views, and no suggestions as to how this could be fixed.
I have also posted in the general flash forum, that thread has fewer views.
If I should put this question in a different forum please let me know which one.
If what I am asking is not possible is there a mechanism for escalating this issue or requesting a feature for the next version of flash?
Thanks.

Flash drive no longer works after being connected to a Windows XP machine.

After being opened on a Windows XP machine, the contents of my flash drive now shows up on my Macbook pro as a single .lnk file. What happened? It's MS-DOS (FAT32).
Is there any way out of this or has all my data been lost? I've never experienced this issue previously.

Thanks. I've now scanned it with both Sophos and ClamXav and both have come up negative for infection.
At least while the scan was running I could see that all my data is still there as the name of each file appeared as it was going through the scan.
My efforts to sort this out seem to have made things worse as now it opens up word whenever I try to see the contents. I'll try it on a PC tomorrow and see if I can figure out what happened. Looks like the file system has been damaged in some way.

Problem with network printer on Windows 7 machine

I'm running Mavericks on a Mac Mini. I have a Windows 7 machine with an attached Brother HL-5340D printer. I'm using the Brother HL-5340D CUPS driver. Whatever configuration I use, I cannot get my Mac to print from the Brother. I have even set up dhcp on the Mac and connected to the Windows machine with a cable. I have tried ipp, ldr/ldp, windows, ip, and most of the relevant options under advanced, and nothing works. I've run out of ideas on what to try and how to test and where to look for hints. All I get is the following:
Unable to connect to ‘192.168.33.2’ due to an error.
Not a lot of help.

James Wilde wrote:
1. I forgot to say that it was the Mac equivalent of dhcpd that I turned on so that the Mac is the server, on 192.168.33.1, and it has assigned the number 192.168.33.2 to the Windows box. And yes, I do prefer in these cases to use fixed addresses, but the Windows box seemed reluctant to accept its ip address thus the decision to start dhcpd on the Mac. After that I could not ping the Windows box from the Mac box. I didn't try to ping the Mac from the Windows box. I'll try that tomorrow. As to the network, there are only these two machines on the cable network. The default router on the Windows box is, if I remember correctly, set by dhcpd to the ip address of the house router. I have now disabled the cable network. See below.
Unusual that you could not ping Windows from the Mac. Would explain why you got a connection error with this setup. But if you have now stopped using the cable connection then this is mute.
James Wilde wrote:
2. The network profile is set to Home on the Windows box. I don't see any references to Homegroup in any of my messages on this topic. If you are referring to another post I made on a different subject, I am aware of the problems with Homegroup, and as far as I know, I have avoided this, since my wife's Windows box is the only Windows box in the house. Everything else is either Mac or Ubuntu, apart from one or two Windows virtual machines on my Mac and Ubuntu boxes.
No, you didn't mention Homegroup but you did mention not being able to see the Windows computer "Incidentally I now find that I can't get any result from selecting Windows in the Add Printer dialog." So I thought I would mention that Homegroup can cause this.
James Wilde wrote:
3. I've tried all three options in the Add printer dialog, IP, Windows, and Advanced. Under Advanced I have tried lpd and spoolss and ipp, under ip I have tried ipp and lpd. The share name is Brother-HL-5340D, and the hyphen between Brother and HL I put there myself to make it one 'word'.
I've just tried your suggestion and get the following when I click on Add.
Unable to verify the printer on your network.
Unable to connect to ‘192.168.1.202’ due to an error. Would you still like to create the printer?
I've seen this occur when the LPD process is not working. Open the Services pane on the PC and check the LPD service has started. If it is running and you still get the error message, what happens if you say yes to creating the printer?
James Wilde wrote:
As i said, I have disabled the cable network and am using the house wifi network (all machines with fixed IPs). I can ping the computer and have just mounted a disk on her computer with smb using Finder/Go. The mount does appear to be read only, but at least I can open all the folders.
Anything else I can try?
That is a good outcome. Proves there is a functional path between both computers.
Since you can connect using SMB, and if you cannot LPD to work, then try adding the printer again using the Windows view in the Add printer pane. You should see the workgroup used by the Win7 PC followed by the Win7 computer name. Selecting it should prompt you to authenticate (unless you have saved the account in Keychain) and then the printer share name should appear. After selecting the share, select the Generic PS driver as a test to see if you can submit a print job - open the print queue on the Win7 PC to see if the print job appears. If this does work, you can remove the printer on the Mac and add again, this time selecting the Brother driver and then see if this works.
