We're working on an application that displays information through a Direct3D visualisation. A late client request is the ability to view this application via some Remote Desktop solution. Has anyone done anything similar? What options are available / unavailable? I'm thinking RDC, VNC, Citrix... Any advice? ...
At work I use Windows Server 2008. At home, I just got a openSUSE laptop. Is there an RDP client I can use? ...
Which one client do you think is the best for remote PC management/access? ...
Background: I'm running a full-time job and a part-time job in the weekends, and both my employers have supplied a laptop for me to work on. Of course I also have my powerful workstation at home to work from, and sometimes when I'm at the office at my weekend job (it's in another city) I'm working from yet another workstation. Problem:...
I am connecting to a Windows XP machine via Microsoft's Remote Desktop Connection Client, version 2.0.0 Beta 3, running on a Mac. On the Windows machine there is a Java console running, where I want to send a Ctrl-Break so I can see the Java threads running. According to the RDC help, Alt/Option-F3 is break, but Ctrl-Opt-F3 and various ...
What is the best way to enable remote access (for desktop support purposes) to a network where there is a single server on a fixed IP and a number of Windows DHCP clients (all with internet access, but the clients are all using NAT for external access) ...
Hi, I'm using Windows Xp and i'm looking for a software where I can see the screen of a remote desktop and be able to show a second mouse (or pointer of any sort) that I can mouse to just show something. I want to work with a peer over the net, pretty much like the XP programming method. I find it useful, but it's pretty hard over the i...
I'm looking for something like VNC, but with some extra features: The server should send only the part of the screen the client is looking at. It would be great if we could have 2 mice on the client's desktop. Or at least if the client could point to somthing without interrupting the server's mouse. A shared whiteboard would be great....
I have heard that WPF primitives will not be supported by remote desktop on windows XP. The implication of this is that if you run a WPF application on a vista machine and display it on an XP machine (via remote desktop) the display will be sent as a compressed bitmap. This issue is resolved in Vista-Vista comunication via DirectX 11 (...
The company I work for currently uses "Go To Meeting" to share our desktops but it's quite expensive for what we use it for and we are looking for cheaper (or even free) alternatives. We have evaluated yuuguu and yugma but they aren't up to scratch. They are both slow and only allow the sharers to share the entire desktop as opposed to ...
I want to write an app to test whether a Windows machine is responding correctly to RDP (Remote Desktop) - i.e. to check if the machine not only allows the connection, but is also responding normally, and is not hung or otherwise responding abnormally. Is there a library or utility that I can use to do this? My searches turned up full R...
Not strictly a programming question, but I was programming at the time and couldn't find an answer, so I thought, "Hey, I'll give StackOverflow a try!" So I'm connected to my Windows XP work PC over a Remote Desktop connection through VPN. In a command window (on the remote PC), I foolishly type ipconfig /release. A split second befor...
Use case: A does something on his box and gots stuck. He asks B (remote) for support. B logs into the session of A, sees all windows, A was seeing and is able to manipulate the GUI. If A uses Windows it is very convenient to log into a running session e.g. via VNC. But if A uses Linux, AFAIK, this is not possible. Using VNC requires ...
Does anyone else find that when they open a saved connection in Remote Desktop it sometimes sets up the login as Username@IpAddress and other times (seemingly at random) sets it up as IpAddress@Username? Does anyone know what the logic is behind the two / why this happens? ...
How can I get Direct3D to work over a Remote Desktop connection? I am using Windows XP Professional. ...
I want to access remote server using my program (C# .NET) and execute there a program in the context of connected user, just like using Remote Desktop. I don't want just run a program using some user account(like RunAs), but to have a separate execution session like Remote Desktop I guess terminal services should be used somehow, but I...
I use remote desktop quite a bit and I've noticed that on one of my machines when another user is already logged in it prompts them to allow me to log in, even for users with less privileges; however, with another computer, there is no prompt, it just proceeds with the remote logoff even for users with the same privileges. Both computers...
Using remote desktop in full-screen, what is the shortest way to move to another app? (Without using the mouse, of course. I hate mice). I currently use one of the following: ctrl-alt-del, alt-t (get to local machine's taskmgr), alt-tab (move to desired application), or: ctrl-alt-pause (toggle remote-desktop to a window), alt-tab. Is ...
I'm planning to expose a server( Amazon EC2 instance) via VNC. I dont want the user to download and install remote desktop application. I want a browser based VNC viewer. I have found the java applet based VNC viewers bit annoying. Any Ajax, Flash based VNC viewer recommendations? Any pointers on how to configure the server to work with ...
I have a headless server running Windows Server 2003, and administer it via VNC. It is set to auto login to a specific user account. I want to change to using Remote Desktop/Terminal Services. However, when I log in remotely a new user session is created (in addition to auto logged in session). Essentially I want a remote desktop connec...
