Why can I not remote desktop on a computer when the computer is locked?  I can't Office remotely in the computer even when its not locked...

As so often, it is usually something so small you don't think of it :).

  • Remote Desktop error: the system cannot find the specified file. C:\WINDOWS\system32\ < LANG_NAME > \mstsc.exe.MUI

    Came across an interesting problem this morning. After starting my PC from various applications (OutLook 2002, Management Studio of SQL Server 2008, etc.). I was able to connect to a server by using Remote Desktop (RDP, alias). On trying to connect to a second system, I started getting the following error message:

    The system cannot find the specified file. C:\WINDOWS\system32\\mstsc.exe.MUI

    Will always be connected to the server, I tried to launch a second instance using RDP, but received the same error message.

    I googled the error and found different solutions (the best solution to examine ishttp://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/itproxpsp/thread/164d1e0b-51e6-4201-9dc2-3f4a0ccb14e5), however, none of the solutions seemed to work.

    I tried checking the virus/malware, etc, but nothing was found. I tried to re - load the dll and the exe (s), but still not received the error message.

    The next solution was to try to see what can be changed on my system (new programs, etc.). I noticed there is an update downloaded to my system (C:\Windows\WindowsUpdate.log): AutomaticUpdates content success install successful and Restart required for the following update: update for Windows XP (KB969084)... the update is related to remote desktop.

    I rebooted the system, still not received the RDP error messages. Is I did a complete "install updates and shut down ', and then restarted my system that started working again.

    For the record, here is some information on my system:

    XP Professional: Version 5.1 (Build 2600.xpsp_sp3_gdr.091208 - 2036: Service Pack 3)

    c:\windows\system32\mstsc.exe: 6.1.7600.16385

    I wanted to just post this in case someone else runs into a similar problem...

    Thank you!

    I have a machine with the same problem

    XP Professional: Version 5.1 (Build 2600

    I installed the update for Windows XP (KB969084).

  • Remote Desktop connection crashes computer

    I have a windows xp pro machine used for game servers.

    do not really need to do much with it except from time to time to update programs, so I connect to it the using connection since a ultimate win7 remote desktop machine and an another win xp pro machine.  everything works very well for more than a year.

    recently, I had several problems; the box was hacked, but it doesn't seem they did anything except create a userid and snooping.  I have (actually deleted) patched the problem (winamp) and all was well again.  I say this only for the sake of completeness, but don't think that this is relevant

    fast-forward a few months, and one of the drives falls out of the raid mirror.  I ran a repair on it and it seemed ok.

    then all of a sudden, when I now try to connect, it blocks the machine, I am trying to connect to, constantly.

    any suggestions?  I need this machine to accept remote connections, and in any case stop crashing when someone tries.  I have done a ton of anti-malware analysis, using a dozen programs different in case, but didn't find anything.  the daily program is microsoft security essentials, but I run several scanners/cleaners and found nothing.

    also ran ccleaner just in case it was something registry

    any suggestions on how to fix this?  is there a method to reinstall this function or?

    a single note; I CAN remote in the other computers on my win7 ultimate box, so it's certainly that a target of winxp machine.

    IM lost at this stage

    Thank you

    [edit] I did a full scan with several software products malware/anti-virus (including malwarebyes, spyware, microsoft security databases Dr.) and nothing found.

    also custom restoration system for some reason, so I can't go that route

    and I tried Office remotely to control another computer, and that works fine, so its only when the computer is a target

    Hello

    ·        The computer crashes upwards or it does not restart?

    If it then restarts, it's probably a blue error screen. I suggest you to disable the auto restart and reproduce the problem. If it you encounter a blue screen then, let us know the exact error message and code. To disable automatic reboot follow the steps mentioned below.

    a. right click on my computer and then click Properties.

    b. click on the Advanced tab.

    c. under Startup and recovery, click settings to open the startup and recovery dialog box.

    d. clear the checkbox automatically, restart and then click OK, the number of times required.

    e. restart your computer so that the settings take effect.

  • Unable to access Remote Desktop on my computer at home, when the network is set to Public.

    I have a computer set up at home as a hobby-Web server, designated 'Server', Windows 7 Professional (Swedish language version). The server has installed Norton Internet Security. Standard port in the firewall is open to allow remote desktop connections.

    I can't connect to the server by using remote desktop, unless...

    When I open the network - and center of the share on the server, under view your active networks, my internet connection ('designated network 8' by Windows) has the value 'Public network '.

    I can not connect to the server.

    If I change "Network of 8" to "Home network" or "Work" - so I can connect to the server by using remote desktop.

    But if I put the adapter network/public IP of my server to "Home network", is not my compromised security more than it already is when I encouraged Remote Desktop? I don't want to let my Internet connection to the home network, because the point of having different settings is because I want to have my internal network to a lower level of security for access to the network drive.

    I used the remote desktop for VPN connections to work for a few years.  My new employer has a Sonic Wall VPN.  My home PC is running XP.  The work computer is Windows 7.  I activated the remote on this computer connectivity.  I can connect to the VPN with a number.  Remote Desktop detects the computer to work without problems as well.  When I try to signon with my valid credentials, I get a message that my ID or password is invalid.  By using the same credentials locally everything works perfectly.  I tried to connect with my user disconnected and connected in the workplace with no difference in results.  Any thoughts there?

  • Remote Desktop left the unlocked console session after I disconnect, - BAD!

    Often, I connect to my Home PC, Windows XP Pro SP3 running to work.  When I leave the House, the session is locked.

    I recently discovered that when I disconnect from a remote desktop session, the computer is left * unlocked * even if I disconnect the session by locking the PC.

    I'm fairly certain that it wasn't how things behave initially.  This change with SP3?

    Currently, I connect to work with a Windows 7 Pro (64 bit) machine, but there is this problem with my old laptop which ran from XP Pro SP3.

    How can I stay locked to disconnect the console session?

    END THE SESSION IS NOT AN OPTION.  I have user programs that run in the session that must continue to run. I have need of the session is running, but locked.

    Hello

    In my case it was the full client of Teamviewer which is a problem, including a version earlier than 5.1.9385, when I upgraded to this one, the problem disappeared!

    Now there's another question that should be checked, if you Live Mesh Beta (which runs on windows XP and not a new one which has no Vista/7), then there are chances that you have activated the Remote Desktop feature, you can find two devices under the 'View' node in the Device Manager named 'Live Mesh curtain Driver' and 'Live Mesh Mirror Driver. You can turn them off, restart and check if the problem persists.

    A last suggestion if the above could not solve the problem is to update the drivers of network card in your machine.

    I hope this helps.

  • How to get remote desktop connection icon that has been deleted?

    Hello

    Can I know to go back to the remote desktop when removed or was not in the pc.

    Hi Haro,

    Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft Community Forums!

    It seems you are trying to recover the connection icon desktop remotely which is removed on the windows computer 7.

    Help me with little information.

    -What place do you remove the remote desktop on the computer icon?

    To find the Remote Desktop Connection shortcut, click the Start button, click programs, and then click Accessories.

    Open search type mstsc.exe, where it is found right click and select Open containing folder, right click on the desktop remote connection icon and choose send to desktop, create a shortcut, this will put it back on your desktop.

    If you did it Shift + delete , you will not be able to recover the computer icon. However, you can use your favorite search engine and use a third party application to recover deleted files / icons.

    Warning: Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly.

  • Remote Desktop having problems connecting Surface RT to Win 8 portable Pro (new installation)

    Remote Desktop/RemoteApp problems

    I was not able to connect outside of the network.

    I sprung several days trying to solve this problem by myself, then on the phone with Microsoft productivity, and some of them aren't yet familiar with Surface RT. So with the RD in network connection is quite simple and effective, I hope some people here can confirm that they have the same problems or possible solutions.

    As I see it, there are 3 interfaces where we can connect to RD on the Surface RT: Pre-installe Remote Desktop Office found via scanning and research, the metro downloadable RemoteApp and desktop remotely via the control panel).

    I see where ping command is executed on the computer and port 3389 is open and oriented to the laptop, so I will state the problems I see with each when I try to log on a Windows 8:

    (1) pre-installed RD:

    It's great and the name of your computer is there for you and connected to your account and network ready. You have options like "Connect and don't warn me if server authentication fails" I think has helped many people on Windows Server with certificate problems.

    Off-grid on Surface RT, however, you get «Remote desktop cannot find the computer _.» This may mean that '_' does not belong to the specified network. Check the computer name and the domain you are trying to connect to."

    (2) metro UI:


    It seems to do a ping the computer more quickly when you put: 3389 at the end of your IP address. However, no success after having tried with and without the end of the port. The messages I get are...

    RemoteApp 3):

    This is the solution I've seen in most tutorials,... but the reason given for not connecting, it is "the remote computer cannot be authenticated due to problems with its security certificate."

    Instead of the option to bypass (which option 1 gives you), there is no other choice, and he says "Windows is unable to continue setting up this connection. Contact the administrator of your workplace. »

    This message made me to learn more about the certificates that I always wanted to know. I tried to start MMC and ensuring that the cert listed in Remote Desktop has been copied to the folders of the confidence of the authorities certificate root (duplex as certificates on the local computer). I tried different combinations and did not really anywhere.

    If someone connects via #3, please post care on your certificate if you can find it.

    Any help on getting one of these methods to work is appreciated. It puts naked repeat that port 3389 is listed as open on my home network, the traffic is transferred to the correct PC and all firewalls are disabled until I can solve this problem.

    Has not solved the problem by removing only, I had to remove the Log Me In graphic card in Device Manager.

    Conclusion, the graphics card in Device Manager must have one and only good driver. Re-install the driver can also help if you have only a list.
