RDP from MAC OS X to Windows Server 2008 R2 License Error - windows

ERROR
"You were disconnected from the Windows-based computer because of problems during the licensing protocol"
I have scoured the Internet and have read it can be fixed...but no one has given me a working fix. I have tried many fixes but still no luck =(.
Anyone know a FUNCTIONING fix for 10.7 and or 10.8
I am using http://www.microsoft.com/mac/remote-desktop-client (the latest version) to connect to Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard. Running RDS with a 5 User CAL. No Active Directory just basic accounts as the local IT team hasn't a clue how to use AD and I am a thousand miles away.

Did you try Thinomenon RDC for Mac? It properly supports redirect token, which could be the problem.

I found these 2 links which seems to have fixed the issue (Hope it's not the same you tried !!!), esp follow vezard & Martijn Huizer's response:

Hope it solves your issue !

Microsoft has released a new RDP client in the app store. So far It seems to work.

I try to be careful where I download from, and I found this Remote Desktop client option on sourceforge.net - a download site I am familiar with and trust:
http://cord.sourceforge.net
From their site:
CoRD is a Mac OS X remote desktop client for Microsoft Windows computers using the RDP protocol. It's easy to use, fast, and free for anyone to use or modify.
I am using Max OS X 10.7

Remote Desktop for Mac - issue with JavaFX app - PDFBOX

I have written a JavaFX app running on Windows 10 machine in the office which has problems showing (painting/rendering) certain embedded controls such as a Pane with PdfBox when I connect to it with Remote Desktop for Mac. It shows only a black screen in the app instead of the pdf document.
When I connect using RDP from my Windows 10 machine at home to my Windows 10 machine at work, the app works just fine (the pdf is shown in the app).
I have the same problems using AnyDesk and Teamviewer.
The app only shows PDFs properly using a connection from Windows 10 to Windows 10 with Microsoft RDP.
It might be a JavaFX issue. Similar issues are described here (although not 100% identical):
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8239589
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8229394
However, since I guess Microsoft Remote Desktop for Mac is using the same technology as the Windows Desktop client, I would have expected it to work fine.
I have a Mac Mini M1 running the latest OS (Monterey) at the time of writing this post. I am also using the latest Remote Desktop client for Mac.
This problem is not new and was also present in older releases.
I have tried to play around with screen resolutions, both on Host and Client but nothing good came out of those tests.
Disabled also hardware acceleration in Remote Desktop for Mac preferences but it didn't change anything.
The machine at the office has the following specs (which I cannot change nor update)
Edizione Windows 10 Pro
Versione 20H2
Data installazione: ‎10/‎09/‎2021
Build sistema operativo 19042.1415
Esperienza Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.3920.0
Anyone else who has seen this problem and perhaps resolved it?
Could it be a bug in either PdfBox or Remote Desktop for Mac?
Except for the above issue, the Remote Desktop Client for Mac is working great (not lagging as TeamViewer or AnyDesk) and the user experience is phenomenal.
PS: While this might be considered a programming question (since I wrote the app with JavaFX) but it might be better to post on another forum? If yes, which one? On the other hand, many similar posts (look at the suggested thread on the right) have been upvoted despite not dealing with programming issues.
Thanks.
How do you use PDFBox? I ask because this is not a JavaFX component. If you use a SwingNode for that it might be interesting to try one of my two PDFViewer demos here and see whether the problem persists.

The difference is in how I do the rendering and maybe that makes a difference for your use-case too. But of course this is just a wild guess and I can't promise anything.

Delphi - Checklist for PAServer Connection (Mac OSX)

I have spent the better part of a day trying to connect to PAServer on MAC OSX from my Windows PC with no luck. I am not sure what I am missing.
I am using Delphi 10.2 Tokyo on Windows. Trying to connect to PAServer 19.0 on a Mac Mini running macOS Sierra (10.12.4) on which I already have XCode (v8.3.2) installed along with Command Line Tools.
Both the dev machine as well as the Mac Mini are connected to the same Wifi network. I even tried connecting both machines to a different network but with the same issue.
I get the same error message every time that the connection failed. I suspect that it has something to do with the network - where the 2 machines cannot see each other, but I don't know how I can confirm this or resolve it. I have tried to search on SO as well as online but have not found anything that has helped.
Has anyone seen this issue and overcome it? Is there a set of steps I can go thru to troubleshoot this? Any help or guidance would be most appreciated!
OK - I kept trying out different things and was able to solve this issue (one way to solve it I guess).
Because it seemed like it was network related, I tried first to create a hotspot with my phone and connected the dev machine and the Mac Mini to it. The PAServer connection worked.
So I looked for a way to do this via Windows. Here are the steps I followed:
Open Settings > Network & Internet (on Windows 10)
Go into Mobile Hotspot and select Wi-Fi in the Share my
Connection From dropdown
Set a Network name and Network password
Turn on Share my Internet connection with other devices
Now on the Mac, connect to the network name we set up in step 3 and enter the password that was set. Then start PAServer on the Mac. That's it!
Now when you connect from Delphi to PAServer, the connection succeeds.
Note: Interestingly, when I was not using the mobile hotspot method on Windows, the IP address on PAServer (and on Windows) was 10.xx.xx.xx. With the mobile hotspot, the IP address is 192.xx.xx.xx.
I just configured (today) a new macos sierra with paserver. yes it's painfull :(
don't use virtualbox (it's buggy and slow), but use instead VMware, it's work like a charm. it's much more easy to have only one computer to develop than 2. also you can copy/past the log or anythink else from macosx to windows (or vice-versa) in just one click. and you will not have any internet problem or anything else ...

Internet Explorer times out when using Windows 8.1 VM

When using my virtual machine, I'm trying to gain access to the Internet, but unable to get IE to start, when clicking the icon it doesn't react. I've done some research and a couple of hours troubleshooting, but no luck. It does appear to be a problem for some, but they don't have the exact same problem I do.
Here's what I've come across while troubleshooting:
1) OS is windows 8.1 32-bit, but my host machine is 64-bit, because of this there might be compatibility issues. Not much more on this though, no explanation on whether that is the problem at all.
2) My network settings could be wrong, but I'm attached to a bridged adapter, my IP's match for both VM and Host, and I can access the web when I use a web browser app (but the app that can't download anything, so I can't download google chrome or the necessary files I need to study).
3) Others say that the problem is Windows 8.1 itself. That VMs just don't work as they should like Windows 7.
I clicked to uninstall Windows explorer, but it seems it doesn't exist, and it doesn't have an icon on the home screen.
Could it be that the .iso I downloaded did not have IE included?
The original need for the VM was to test Docker containerisation for a report. Should I scrap the whole idea and try for Windows 7 64-bit instead? That's all I can do if I can't find a solution.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Testing IE 10 in Microsoft remote desktop on mac?

I'm using Microsoft Remote Desktop App on my Mac which is connected to my microsoft account in order to test for "IE Technical Preview" which is IE11.
Is it possible to test for IE10 with this App as well?
Kind Regards,
Matt
I like this solution
https://github.com/xdissent/ievms
With one command it brings to your computer ready-to-use virtual machines with different versions of IE. Very useful for me.
It doesn't seem so. However, you should be able to select and download a virtual machine image from modern.ie.
The UI of the site dynamically adapts to your OS, so use it to get a sense of what's available to you. (The release notes refer to VMWare Fusion, VirtualBox, and Parallels. Hopefully, one of those is available to you.)
Hope this helps...

Error accessing tomcat web server from my mac

support guys in the office can't help and everything has been fine for the last couple months until today. Running OSX 10.6.3 and 1 of only 2 users on mac. Can access a staging server when remoting in to a pc near my desk but not able to access via any of the browsers on my mac (Chrome, Firefox or Safari). An example staging server would be http://mesoderm:8080/...
Error is simply: Oops! Google Chrome could not find mesoderm:8080.
I can connect to the internet and remote in to a nearby pc as mentioned above.
Strange why it would all of a sudden do this and it's incredibly annoying! Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Ryan
Investigate your firewall rules. This is most often the cause of this kind of problems.
