Mac Forum / Applications / Other MS Products / April 2005RDC connection failures from some computers
We have been using RDC for a while successfully at work to access a CrystalEase financial package, but of late am having trouble with certain conputers which previously worked great. Specifically, two of my computers (a TiPb and G5) which are routinely updated to the latest OS (currently 10.3.8) have not worked since November 2004. However, my wifes TiPb, remaining at 10.3.3, still connects successfully. All other settings are the same, and we are working on the same networks (ethernet at work and wifi/VPN at home). The message is "The client could not connect to the remote computer. Either remote connections are not enabled, the maximum number of connections was exceeded, or a network error occurred..." I even tried signing in and connecting as my wife from my computer, to no avail, to make sure it was not some sort of AD issue. I can sign her on using her TiPb, but can’t sign her on using my TiPb. I have noted similar problems identified on the internet, but with no reslution. Is it possibly related to a security update in one of the OS updates?

My MacOS 10.3.4 RDC (1.0.3)connection consistently fails while it works from a PC on the same network. The support so far received from this forum (and Microsoft) is very poor. > We have been using RDC for a while successfully at work to access a > CrystalEase financial package, but of late am having trouble with [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > Topic URL: http://www.macforumz.com/RDC-connection-failures-computers-ftopict145997.html > Visit Topic URL to contact author (reg. req'd).

Support is truly non-existent for this application, which is a shame as when it works it really is fast. Since my original post, we set up another server running Win2003 Server, and I can now connect to it with no problem, using the same computers and software version. I still can’t connect to the original server on the same subnet. Both are Active Directory domain logins. Go Figure. My head hurts from hitting the brick wall so much.

Have you checked the licensing situation in the TS Licensing Manager? -- Vera Noest MCSE, CCEA, Microsoft MVP - Terminal Server http://hem.fyristorg.com/vera/IT --- please respond in newsgroup, NOT by private email --- "Vera Noest MVP" wrote: > JeffreyHess <DoNotEmail@MacForumz.com> wrote on 11 apr 2005 in > microsoft.public.mac.rdc: [quoted text clipped - 109 lines] > http://hem.fyristorg.com/vera/IT > --- please respond in newsgroup, NOT by private email --- Well, I was able to work with our IT group at the time I was trying to connect, and got the log information. It was saying my computer was attempting to connect with an "illegal license". Our IT group re-installed the licensing server, but are checking again to make sure there is not a special license for non-Windows computers. Strangely, my connection to the new Win2003 server no longer works either. It was fine for several days, then stopped working. This server is only serving me, with no other users yet! Also, when at work, on the network, I can connect using the RDC within VPC (a Win2000 setup), whereas the same machine at my house connected through VPN, with all other services accessible, can no longer connect, but others remotely on the PC can connect to RDC. If this was not happening to two different computers, I would begin to think some sort of hardware issue. But others can connect from my house to RDC, both Mac and PC, and I can connect under VPC at the office, so there does not seem to be a hardware issue going on. |
