if I install a Remote Desktop gateway on Our DMZ can I get this remote gateway to talk to multiple domains or will I have to set a server up for every domain and gateway?. from what I am reading it only supports one domain? Thanks

Hi All, Our head has requested that we provide SIMS.net access for our teaching staff from home but do not want to stump up for the cost of SIMS learning gateway. Has anyone else setup a similar system because I just need a few pointers. Can this be setup through RemoteApp? Some hand holding would be greatly appreciated.

Has anyone setup an LTSP Server? What I am looking at doing is setting up a Windows Multipoint Server and with all the old machines boot them from the network (PXE) and use the LTSP Server to point them to the Multipoint server. I have looked into this but haven't yet found a decent tutorial on how to set this up. The LTSP Server does not need DHCP Server installed as we cannot run two as this will break things. Has anyone on here done this and got it working, if so could you tell me how.

I might be saying the wrong thing, but I would like to move my Lab domain to a hosted account that I own. My local lab domain is lab.local My public domain is xyz.com (public facing domain) The other thing I need help in configuring is changing my remote settings. I want to change my RDP servers to point to Remote.xyz.com Can someone point me in the right direction?

Hi all We have given out loads of macbooks here to student and now we need to give them access to Techsoft 2D Design. We've tried two approaches to this. One was to install it on to our Remote Desktop cluster which works, but the 2D Design toolbars disappear constantly. So then we tried to push the app out using remote apps. This way, the toolbars don't disappear, but the mouse point doesn't line up with where the actual click occurs. So the tip of the mouse is about 10 px to one side of where the click event occurs. Not great for a precision drawing app. We can't use another design tool on the macs easily as we need this tool for our laser cutters. Has anyone tried getting 2D design working on a mac via Remote Desktop? Olly

Hi, all Just having a issue with AnywhereTS, that my thin clients (Wyse V90L's) cant open the AnywhereTS control panel. It just displays this message ​"Your computer cannot be identified as an AnywhereTS client. This application is used to configure setting for AnywhereTS clients and can only be run from a client powered by AnywhereTS" Regards, Tiger465

Normally I would consider such a statment harracy and punishable severely but recent events have swayed my viewpoint a little. The universal truth seems to be that developers are lazy, preffering to do the least possible to get a system working. This is even worse in an educational environment where multiplatform means using as many abstraction layers as it takes to get the job done without writing another line of code. Most of the education resource type apps here are written in flash and packaged in an executable player, this system I had thought was rather nasty as it fell back to flash of all things but TBH actually ended up working quite well, Windows and Mac support with no need to install and simple to just run off a file share. Functionally this idea is actually fine and its just my code snobbery (along with my dislike of Flash) that caused my issues with it. Now one day we get a new testing app (universally lauded for its educational outcomes . . . . Danger, Danger Will Robinson) which is multiplatform but instead of running flash behind the scenes it uses python and OpenGL. Yay I thought, real code in an almost respectable language and using OpenGL it must be flashy... Wrong! The app itself is totally unremarkable visually but does rely heavily on OpenGL acceleration to make the buttons pulse slowly in the background. Not only that but it cannot use an existing network connection context insisting on opening a new one which is fine in a domain environment but in this instance makes it unusable on certain stations (standalone with mapped drives and stored credentials). Down to the problem, OpenGL 2.0 is not too new but is not supported over RDP, this means that this app can't run over RDP, no terminal server, no Multipoint server and all to make the buttons pulse. The issues actually lie deeper within the app as I found a nice little library that runs OpenGL 2.0 in software ( Mesa Home Page ) which I compiled and which works on Server 2008 R2 (all be it slowly). Yay I thought, a way around the problem, wrong again, software that is closer to the hardware and helpfully uses unsupported calls directly to it have a nasty tendancy to kill the process meaning that this app despite its better underpinnings comes out as a total looser when it comes down to portability. In conclusion, in some instances, OpenGL is worse than Flash for portability and usability. I am still in shock. EDIT: As it may be of use to someone else I have attached a ZIP with the three DLLs to this post. The idea is to just drop them in the same folder as the EXE of the unhappy program and it will override the windows OpenGL libraries for this program. Turned out to be helpful here where the new intel chips/drivers did not support OpenGL properly or in a way that some older software could detect. GLU32.zip

We have just setup a RDP gateway and Remote session server to access school for pupils and staff at home. How do I customise the Gateway homepage with school badge and instructions

While looking for a free and resourse minimal way to open up remote support sessions to Vista and 7 workstations I reinvestigated Remote Assistance. Looking through online documents it seemed quite easy to setup a group policy to allow for unsolicited RA sessions and setup allowed users to offer these. This was all well and good but the fact remained that the interface on both the offering and requesting side was mostly hidden with either no UI or activation via the command line. To make this a little easier I created a couple of HTA applications to make the job a little easier: RemoteAssist.hta - Offers the supporter a simple textbox and button to enter the hostname of the remote machine into and click connect. This just passes the command via the command line to offer an unsolisited RA session. WhoAmI.hta - is designed to be run on the client and will show in large letters the hostname of the computer which can be read to the supporter over the phone. Although this can and possibly will be automated much more in the future it seems to work ok for some of the more computer savy teachers to support the others easily over the phone throughout the school. I push these out to different groups by adding a shortcut to the desktop using the following VBS (some not in code box as forum garbled it ): AddLink "Offer Remote Assistance", "Offer Remote Assistance", "\\pnsdc\cdshare$\0RemoteAssist\RemoteAssist.hta", 1, "\\pnsdc\cdshare$\0RemoteAssist\", "", "%SystemRoot%\system32\msra.exe" AddLink "Offer Remote Assistance", "Offer Remote Assistance", "\\[color=#0066cc]server\share$[/color]\0RemoteAssist\RemoteAssist.hta", 1, " RemoteAssist.zip

Hi, Apologies if this should be in an RDP Remote APP Forum rather than MIS Ive just setup a 2012 R2 server with RDP Connection Broker, Session Host and RD Web Access roles installed. Im only testing internally to start off with but looking to deploy sims via RDP Remote App. Ive installed SIMS to the RDP Server, published the app and logged in via the web portal. I get all the way to the point of sims loading (press the details button I can see the session starting logging into the user account) then the window closes and sims does not open. Sims loads directly on the server fine, I have published Adobe Reader, Calculator and Paint to RD Web Access and these all work fine. I have checked the allow command prompt settings in the Remote Applications Properties page. Has anyone come across this or have any recommendations? This type of setup is in a couple of other schools that I know of. Thanks

I was wondering if anyone could give me insight to what we could use that is equivalent to ChromeRDP (Chrome extension) that could be used for 90+ users to log into our terminal servers. From what I have seen ChromeRDP's support is non existent and their license purchasing is done by a weird method I am sure our organisation would be sceptical on. Note: I am yet to try Ericom.

Hi All, I'm about to publish a certain servers available through port 443 (SSL) only therefore I need to use Windows Server 2008 Std. x64 TSG service, but now in this case what is the best practice for deploying this infrastructure ? Do i need to join the TSG into the domain ? Should I need to open LDAP port 389 from DMZ into my local network --> security hole ? Any help and suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Customer Feedback for Windows Phone Found this a short while back and it allows you to suggest of vote for new or improved features for Windows Phone 7. Each logon gets you ten votes that you can spend in blocks up to three at time on any suggestion. I spent three on a native RDP app with support for TS Gateway So if you have a Windows Phone device, are thinking of getting one, would like a better platform to use or just to provoke more competition submit your ideas for smarter smart phones.

I am trying to set up windows server 2008 to publish remote applications to clients via rdp. However, when a user clicks on the icon to open the application, it prompts for them to enter their username and password. Is there a way to get it to use the same credentials as the already authenticated user account?

Hi We've just had a new server installed and domain built from scratch. Since we've had everything up and running again we can't conect to any external (outgoing) remote desktops connections. We keep getting the folowing error: The computer name and domain for the remote computer is correct. We're with exa-networks for firewall and filtering and they're adamant it's not them. All internal remote connections are working well and we can remote in to the site via offsite/mobile internet. We can also make external (outgoing) remote conections using a domain device to and mobile internet. We've also tried using domain admin account to establish a remote access connection to offisite server with not luck. Any thoughts on which step in the process we've missed will be greatfully recieved. Thanks in advance.
