Remote Desktop. Why the differences?

In this case I use Remote Desktop to connect a system from Vista Home Premium to Windows XP Professional on a local network.  Still, it establishes a connection, but can behave in 3 different ways:

1. the session starts and works very well.  After entering the password (I ask the password), it goes directly on the desktop of the remote PC

2. the session begins, then I am taken to the login screen of the normal remote PC (what you expect to see if you were working on this PC).  When you enter the password, it then goes to the desktop.

3. I get the blah "can not load your profile...". ", where Windows will load a temporary profile that takes you back office.  Logging and lumbering back to still seems to work, i.e. log on normally.

So, no show stopping issues, but why?  Certainly why the difference between 1 and 2?  Thoguh that you arrive at the same place, with 2, you get also present with all the other user accounts on this computer.  For my part, it is not a constraint, but what happens if I don't want to have other possibilities of connection presented?  Remote Desktop Client indicates the account to Log On with, so why present all others?  On the question of the profile, there are a lot of intel available, but I have yet to find the cause in my configuration.  It's exhausting rather than as a problem, but I would be very happy to eliminate this behavior.

  • 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.

    Hello

    Thus, Home Basic edition, and Home Premium edition are the same options as Business, Ultimate and Enterprise.

    Basic and Premium "Remote Assistance" and the other three SKUS have full Remote Desktop. This is probably the question you are running in.

    And the experience is different as well. You can however, is located on a computer Home Basic/Premium and connect by using "Remote Desktop" on a computer running Business, Ultimate and Enterprise. But not the other way around. You use Remote Assistance.

    Remote Assistance allows a remote user to connect to your system via an 'Invitation '. You can search in Help and Support for Remote Assistance or Desktop FAQ good explanations.

    Remote Desktop is designed so that you can connect to your computer remotely to work. This does not require an invitaion. Do not add users to a permissions list (essentially to be an Admiistrator or the remote user to group.)

    It was really just a couple of things you need to put in place to communicate with office remotely to another computer... easily anyway.

    (1) you are on the SAME network. Your count gets its IP address from the same server (DHCP) or in the same range of IPS 'assigned manually.

    (2) you are in the same workgroup or domain. If this is not the case, this is complicated.

    (3) you must go into the system properties and allow Remote Assistance (Basic and Premium) and/or business (Business, Ultimate) remote desktop

    An Alternative to Remote Assistance is Windows Live Messenger. It has a nice little feature that allows you to do the same. It requires that a person on the remote computer send an invitation and accept the connection as much as Remote Assistance... a little against the goal... but clean enough little free app to fix someone's computer remotely.

    I hope this helps

  • Remote Desktop error: the system cannot find the specified file. C:\WINDOWS\system32\ &#60; LANG_NAME &#62; \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).

    It does not, but a reboot is required because the system is running on the old dll

  • Remote Desktop in the network does not work

    First time VPN newbie. I need to set up the vpn for a small company of friends using RV082 so, as a test, I put up here at home using a very basic configuration. The network topology looks like:

    Cloud-online cable modem => RV082-online-online PC win7 DIR655

    On a remote site, I launch QUICKVPN, enter the necessary data and connect. Setting up the Office remotely and put the IP address of my pc at home and the user name to logon and after a minute or two, he says "unable to connect to the computer" (or words to that effect). My home PC has been configured to allow remote desktop connections and this has happened in the past, but not since the installation of RV082. There is nothing in the logs of the PC, or in the newspapers of the RV082. What should be my line of inquiry?

    That's what I should do, but when the VPN connects, my remote desktop connection matrix:

    I can't VPN to server2 directly, I have to go through Server1, but I can't.

    Javier,

    When VPN appears on server1, then all traffic get dug in the client [including the remote desktop session].

  • Remote Desktop for the external IP address is no longer works

    Hello and thanks for your help.

    For months I could access my desktop from my laptop (via Remote Desktop) / Tablet (via PocketCloud), both inside and outside my network.

    Recently, the external IP address for my router has changed. As this happened, I was not able to access my desktop to the outside.

    Other possible factors:

    -A had a problem of invalid system disk on my desktop which has been resolved by changing the boot order.

    -J' I registered a domain name, which I redirected to the old IP address. I have since updated the domain to redirect to the new IP address.

    I tried the IP address and the URL (using my domain name) to try and MOP with no luck.

    Any suggestions?

  • Keeps remote desktop abandon the connection

    Hello

    I have just upgraded to Windows 7 Windows 8. The main question that I have now with Windows 8, it is the remote desktop client is somehow broken for me. Whenever I use it, it blocks (i.e. I can't interact with the remote computer) and then I get the box of Pseudo-dialogue indicating reconnection it will reconnect and I return the remote access. He does it all the time (about every few minutes). Note that when I can't interact with the computer to remove it, I can still ping it very well. Clearly, it is not a connection problem.
    It seems to be a problem with Microsoft Remote Desktop Client because I'm so tired, I tried 2 alternatives: terminals and mRemoteNG. Their use, never removes the connection.
    However, I would like to use the Microsoft client as it is more convenient to use. I tried to copy some binary files from Windows XP or Windows 7, but they do not work properly when I try to run them, I guess it's more than a simple 'mstsc.exe' to copy (I copied c:\windows\system32\mstscax.dll thus, but it kept loading of Windows 8).
    Anyone with a similar problem?

  • Base RC - why the difference?

    Hello all,.

    It's a little embarrassing to be posting this question at low altitude, but not knowing the answer that led me to this last resort.  Please forgive me!

    I have an attached parallel rc circuit.  I did all the calculations according to the text (Yes, I'm a beginner) and no matter what, I come up with a different answer for the current compared to multisim 12. I'm guessing that it is such a comprehensive program, the error is due to my ignorance of the parameters, parameters, other formulas and not a simple bug.   I tried this to TINA and TINA response is the same as mine.   So why Multisim is different?  What Miss me?  Help, please.

    I posted two files, a ms12 and a jpg as well.

    Kind regards.

    Hi Bamber,

    I ran some tests with your circuit and the reason why the values are a little off is the used timestep. The time step determines when readings are to be taken. To resolve this issue, go to simulate-> interactive Simulation settings and change the settings, as shown in the screenshot.

    I hope this helps.

  • Leaving the Remote Desktop application, the host closes all applications

    I used the wording of another post which did not have a clear answer: Oh yes, XP, Sp3 operating system

    Before you get a new computer at home I could Office remotely from my laptop to my desktop so I could sign out... then later sign in my office and all my programs would still be being run/open. This allowed me to restart or to view the current state of the tasks application...

    Now however I recntly received a newer computer and now when I do a remote session, programs of work great as long as I stay logged in, but, when I discoonect my remote session current in continuing my work in half an hour, everything seems fine. later, I connect to the computer through a remote session. Everything goes well as logins and passwords, but when the desktop applications. I had running before leaving the first time are closed. I checked several different setting and nothing seems to work. Someone at - he heard of this problem and what someone aware of a resolution.
