Can I use MSTSC to connect remotely on the internet?

Can I use MSTSC to connect remotely on the internet (local computer is Vista Ultimate SP2 to a distance Win 2003 Server)? I used MSTSC on my local network and it works well.

Hi Ibaltsae!

Thanks for posting. Yes, you can use MSTSC to connect remotely to a computer or server on the internet, the same as if you were using your local network. To connect to the remote computer, use the DNS or public IP that are associated with name.

I hope this helps! Shawn - Support Engineer - MCP, MCDST

  • I can't use FF to connect to simple Web pages. A lot of pages javascript seems to be disabled. have deleted the C:/p/moz FF x 86 files and reinstalled. No change.

    I am running Firefox 24.0 with Windows 7. I can't use Firefox to connect to simple Web pages. When I try to use all the features of sites Web which include cookies of the browser does.
    Many functions JavaScript seems to be disabled, that many parts of Web pages do not work. I went to: Tools > Options and checked all the settings for something suspicious, it looked good.

    This happened a few months at least. I tried to remove Firefox yesterday, by deleting this file: C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox and then ran the Mozilla Firefox
    Installer and it did reinstall correctly, but the problem persists.

    I only use Firefox for browsing the web. I also use other browsers with my install W7: I use Opera, IE and chrome, they all work great. The only extensions that I use are the Manager session 0.8.0.8 and selector Group tab 0.1. My Silverlight, Shockwave, Acrobat, and Flash Player are all up to date. I use the default theme. I use all services.

    I don't know what else to do. Help, please.

    Alright. I checked the stuff you guys recommended on the preferences and profiles. I didn't know a lot of this stuff, I do now, that's really useful, thanks!

    I checked the help > information on troubleshooting and I went there to reset Firefox. Which caused the browser working properly again, so I guess I was wrong earlier when I said that it "broke the program."

    I looked at the data I'm in sync. I started the browser synchronization again. This time I unchecked individual boxes, starting with preferences, then I synchronized and looked to see if the problem is back. It turns out that what he was doing was data "bookmarks".

    I guess that the only thing left to do is clear my sync data.

  • I now have a hidden admin account on my second windows. Can I use it to connect to my old windows

    original title: passwor

    I have two windows installed on my laptop. Both are windows vista. I could not log on to the windows of the first, because it does not accept my password, even if my password is correct. Then I installed windows again, but did not remove the old windows.

    My question is: I now have a hidden admin account on my second windows.

    Can I use it to connect to my old windows. The old windows is stored in a separate file. I'm the only Admin and the only user.

    Hello

    You will not be able to use the old profile, but the hidden administrator account is activated, you may be able to access files and folders in this account that you have not deleted the profile.

    Hope this information is useful.

  • How can I reset or fix my router wireless or (lost the ability to connect wirelessly to the internet) access point

    Wireless hub works, other computers are connected

    On a laptop, I lost the ability to connect wirelessly to the internet (message: limited connectivity)

    Recommended by the system solution: reset or repair your access point or wireless router

    How can I do?

    I think that what you aim for is "power cycle".

    To do this, simply unplug the router/access point power adapter. Wait a minute. Then reconnect it.

    Hope this helps

  • What key combination can be used to capture a screen to the Clipboard? __

    What key combination can be used to capture a screen to the Clipboard?

    http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/screenshot

    In Microsoft Windows, pressing the button print screen capture a screenshot of the whole office and put it on the Clipboard. Pressing the combination Alt - Print Screen captures only the current active window. In most versions of Windows, captured screenshots do not include the mouse pointer.

    Video content in the programs using a hardware overlay video converter is not captured by the method described above. Windows Media Player on Windows XP in its default configuration on supported hardware is affected by this. However, some third-party applications can capture overlay images.

    By default, Windows does not record the screenshot to an image file; the user is required to paste the image into a separate program (such as Microsoft Paint, which is integrated) imaging for the economy. Some programs, however, especially online multiplayer, will automatically save screenshots in a specified folder. From Windows XP (or any version based on Windows NT), it is no longer possible to take screenshots of windows DOS full screen without other software.

    Windows Vista and Windows 7 include a utility called Snipping Tool, first introduced in Windows XP Édition Tablet PC. This is a screen capture tool, which allows you to take screenshots (called snips) of windows, rectangular areas, or a free-form area. Shears tinsmith can then be annotated, saved as an image file or an HTML page or by e-mail. Unfortunately, it does not work with uncompressed, XP versions but represents an XP compatible equivalent.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Print_screen

    In Microsoft Windows, pressing print screen will capture the entire screen, while pressing the alt key pressed in combination with the screen print will capture the selected window. The captured image can then be pasted into an editing as a word-processing, electronic mail, or graphics softwareprogram. On the keyboards that have a caps lock key, you may have to press lock first. Pressing print screen, with the alt key and the SHIFT key pressed, turns on a mode of high contrast for people with visual impairments.

    See you soon.

  • Can we use Office default memory offline if the customer does not have enough free memory?

    Can we use Office default memory offline if the customer does not have enough free memory?

    Yes. We can use the parameter offlineDesktopDefaultMemoryScaleupValue jointly with the offlineDesktopReportedHostMemoryValue parameter in the registry.

    For example, if your client system has 2 GB of memory and the desktop view is configured to require 2 GB of memory, you won't be able to check the desktop view because low memory is also necessary for visualization of hosted customer.

    Use the parameter DesktopReportedHostMemoryValue = 2048 registry offline, so that you can go to the desktop and use the registry parameter offlineDesktopDefaultMemoryScaleupValue = 1024.

    so that the desktop view uses only 1 GB of memory when run locally.

    Reg patch: HKCU\Software\VMware, Inc. \VMware VDM\Client\disableOfflineDesktopMemoryScaleup

    Note: If it's a small environment you can do manual. Or we can simplify this activity by creating a group policy.
