Mac Forum / Applications / Other MS Products / May 2008RDC Beta 2.0 not working on iMac runninng OSX 10.5
I have installed the beta on Mac OSX 10.5 but can't connect to an XP box at work, despite using login details that I know are correct as I can connect to the same machine using RDC of XP run virtually on the same Intel Mac. I can get to the login screen for the remote XP box, but when I enter user and passwd details and hit Connect, it times out saying something like "Connection not currently possible. Please try again later or contact your sys admin". In case it is relevant I need to use a VPN connection, but have no reason to believe that there is a problem with this as if there were surely I wouldn't even be able to get to the remote machine login window? Any thoughts? Thanks. > I have installed the beta on Mac OSX 10.5 but can't connect to an XP > box at work, despite using login details that I know are correct as I > can connect to the same machine using RDC of XP run virtually on the > same Intel Mac. Can't really help, but it's not a problem with 10.5 and RDC 2b2--just tried connecting to an XP box and it works fine (except a crash on exit). > I have installed the beta on Mac OSX 10.5 but can't connect to an XP > box at work, despite using login details that I know are correct as I [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > surely I wouldn't even be able to get to the remote machine login > window? Does you company enforce daytime only logins or anything similar? Can you try other machines to see if you can log in to them? If you're getting the login window then RDC has pretty much done its part. Are you an admin on the machine or have you been set up as a non-admin to connect?  Signaturebill William M.

I can log into the same machine using the Windows XP RDC function (ie with the same login, password etc) right after I have failed to login using the OS 10.5/RDC 2 beta. I don't have admin rights on the destination machine, but again, this doesn't stop me from logging in through XP. Puzzled! Thanks anyway.

You need to be part of the Administrators group or the "Remote Desktop Users Group" to login through RDC. There is a local security policy object to give rights to this. It is under Local Policies -> User Rights Assignment -> Allow Logon Through Terminal Services. If you are a User you can login to the console of the machine, but not through RDC. Just because you can log in locally, does not give you the rights to do so through RDC. CHRIS CHRIS I, too, am experiencing the same problem. Ever since upgrading to 10.5.2 Remote Desktop Beta won't work. I was logging onto my PC at work just fine before that. I'm convinced it has something to do with the 10.5.2 upgrade. Can anybody else comment? I'm using RDC beta 2 on OS X 10.5.2 to connect to a Windows Server 2003 system located remotely without any problems. > I'm using RDC beta 2 on OS X 10.5.2 to connect to a Windows Server 2003 system located remotely without any problems. Oops...meant to say beta 3 release of RDC |
