I have problems connecting to the remote desktop on Windows Server 2008.

I have many positions of work XP trying to connect to our servers to Server 2008 Remote Desktop, but get the message, "because of a security error, the client could not connect to the remote computer".

When I check the version of remote desktop it uses, it is 5.2.3790 in program Files\Remote Desktop

Now, if I go to Windows\System32, I find mstsc.exe and can connect to the same server perfectly.  But if I go to save the connection, RD is up to version 5.2.

How can I remove the old version and just use the newest one?

Thank you.

    A problem arose on one of my servers to Windows Server 2008 R2, where I can connect is more reliable in the server by using Remote Desktop connection.  If I manually restart all the Remote Desktop services I can sometimes, not all the time, log one time with the DRC, but if I disconnect or close I can't log back in through restarting the service sometimes successful.  I can restart the entire server and no DRC runs at startup.

    network/security problem

    I have a problem connecting to the internet. A windows security message appears requesting a user name and password. I spoke with my internet provider and they say it's problems with windows. Administering the computer was an old laptop that isn't in use anymore so I can't change the admin settings. Is that what you can offer and do you need more information about me?

    How you connect to the internet, dsl / comcast / wireless.

    The installation disk of your ISP to the main computer, then put it to the top with a modem what ever, after that you can reload the disc of routers and probably have to reset the default password,

    Once you get the configuration of your Internet service provider again then your router again you can re - enter the wireless or wired computers to the new network,

  • Windows 7 Clipboard stops working when it is connected to the remote desktop

    The two machines are Windows 7 SP1 with the latest updates.  Remote configuration is configured with the selected share clipboard.  The Clipboard works on the host machine until the remote desktop is started.  The Clipboard of the remote computer works without any problem.  Clipboard on the host machine starts working again when rdpclip.exe is interrupted on the remote computer.  If rdpclip.exe is restarted on the remote computer, the Clipboard of the host machine then stops working again.

    I had similar problems with Clipboard in the past, but getting the two machines on a fixed day.  It seems more recent updates have created a new problem.

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    The question could arise if the process is damaged and should be revoked on the remote computer to restore operation. I suggest you to try the following steps on the remote computer and check if the problem persists.

    1. Open Task Manager (right click taskbar and select Task Manager)
    2. Go to the process tab
    3. Select rdpclip.exe
    4. Click on end process
    5. Go to the Application tab
    6. Click on the new process
    7. Rdpclip type
    8. Click OK

    Hope this information is useful. Let us know if you need more help, we will be happy to help you.

  • Problem connecting to the remote site

    I created a FTP user on the remote server that works perfectly fine, when I click on test connection. Now, when I click on the remote view or download a file, or connect to the remote server I get this message-"Waiting for server" then I get this error message "connection to the remote host is lost. "Click the button connect to reconnect." I disabled my firewall too. This has been driving me crazy for a long time. Any source of help would be a great help.
    Thanks in advance.

    I had finally found the solution. My internet access point was behind the residential gateway, who created an internet cache (something like). I had to install cygwin which solved the problem. Just had to follow the simple rules to install and you have the problem solved. In any case, I would like to thank all those who had given their suggetions.
    Thanks again.

    Hi Mordi26:

    This could be because windows server 2003 is not updated with the latest version of the Terminal Server client. With terminal services client 6.0 update... It should solve the problem. Here is the link to download:

  • Suspected that the security fix for Windows Server 2008 R2 that affect the ODBC connection.

    I use Windows Server 2008 R2 and have been able to generate the crystal report connection automatically through the (System DSN) ODBC for MS SQL Server 2008 R2.

    When I perform the security updates below, the crystal report would not be able to generate automatically.

    KB2667402
    KB2665364
    KB2621440
    When I tried to manually generate the crystal report, it prompted me the user DSN instead of the system DSN which I was their use without problems so far.
    Therefore, I created the user and system DSN in the ODBC DSN and so able to invite me for connection (System dsn) but not with the ODBC connection id I created.
    Everyone has experienced problems connecting to ODBC after this hotfix was updated?

  • How to install the ssl certificate in windows server 2008?

    Hello

    Can someone give me the steps to install the SSL certificate on my application hosted on windows server 2008 R2?

    Hello

    Although technet.microsoft.com should be the best forum for the problems of server below is a guide on how to install an SSL certificate.

    It will be useful.

    To install your newly acquired in IIS 7 SSL certificate, first copy the file somewhere on the server and then follow these instructions:

    1. Click on the start menu, go to administrativetools and click on Manager of Services Internet (IIS).
    2. Click the server name in the links on the left column. Double-click server certificates.

    3. In the Actions column to the right, click Complète Certificate Request...

    4. Click on the button with the three points, and then select the server certificate that you received from the certificate authority. If the certificate does not have a .cer file extension, select this option to display all types. Enter a friendly name that you can keep track of certificate on this server. Click OK.

    5. If successful, you will see your newly installed in the list certificate. If you receive an error indicating that the request or the private key is not found, make sure that you use the correct certificate and you install it on the same server that you generated the CSR on. If you are sure these two things, you just create a new certificate and reissue or replace the certificate. If you have problems with this, contact your certification authority.

    Bind the certificate to a Web site

    1. In the column of links on the left, expand the sites folder, and click the Web site that you want to bind the certificate to click links... in the right column.

    2. Click the Add... button.

    3. Change the Type to https , and then select the SSL certificate that you just installed. Click OK.

    4. You will now see the listed link for port 443. Click close.

    Install all the intermediate certificates

    Most of the SSL providers issue certificates of server out of an intermediate certificate so you will need to install the intermediate certificate on the server as well or your visitors will receive a certificate error not approved. You can install each intermediate certificate (sometimes there are more than one) by following these instructions:

    1. Download the intermediate certificate in a folder on the server.
    2. Double-click the certificate to open the certificate information.
    3. At the bottom of the general tab, click the install Certificate button to start the Certificate Import Wizard. Click Next.

    4. Select place all certificates in the following store , and then click Browse.

    5. Select the Show physical stores checkbox, then expand the Intermediate certificate authorities folder, select the below folder on the Local computer . Click OK. Click Next, and then click Finish to complete the installation of the intermediate certificate.

    You may need to restart IIS so that it starts the new certificate to give. You can verify that the certificate is installed correctly by visiting the site in your web browser using https rather than http.

  • Problem to see my 2 processor on Windows Server 2008 x 64 with VMWare Server 2

    Hello

    My server is an HP Proliant G6 G380 with 2 processors Intel Xeon X 5550 2.66 Ghz (Quad Core)

    Operating system is Windows Server 2008 standard x 64 SP2 and I use VMware-server - 2.0.1 - 156745

    On the Bios, I enabled HyperThreading, virtualization technology...

    On "Windows Task Manager - Performance" I see 16 CPU (2 processors * 4 cores * hyperhtreading).

    On the VMWare Server 2 documentation, they said this support for VMWare Server 2:

    Standard x 86 or x 86-64-compatible server with up to 16 processors.

    Hosts with processors of 32-bit IA - 32 and IA-32 with 64-bit extensions processors are

    supported.

    When I run VMWare Infrastructure Web Access, basically on my VMWare Server, I see only 1 CPU X 5550 8 hearts.

    Do you have any idea why?

    Thank you.
