I'm replacing a workstation on our domain, but it will be used in a satellite location so we utilize Remote Desktop to access our server. I have upgraded the new pc to Windows 10 Professional and have joined it to the domain. I have set it up (user name/computer name, etc) to mirror the workstation it will be replacing and I have enabled remote desktop on the new pc as well, however when I try to make the connection to the server via remote desktop I get this "Remote Desktop can't connect to the remote computer for on of these reasons: 1) Remote access to the server is not enabled 2) The remote computer is turned off 3) The remote computer is not available on the network" The server is on and running and I have other workstations from other satellite locations utilizing Remote Desktop that are able to join and currently accessing it. So, I'm not sure what I'm missing, can anyone please advise? Thank you in advance.

I'm trying to use Remote Desktop to log into my PC from my laptop. First, I performed the following on the PC: 1. Created an account for based on my laptop Microsoft account. 2. Turned on "allow remote access" on the PC and added the new account to the remote desktop users 3. Made sure the remote desktop app is allowed to communicate through the firewall on the PC Next, I logged onto my laptop that runs Windows Home 10 edition. I open the remote desktop and enter the IP to my PC for the computer name I get prompted for a user name and password. The username defaults to my Microsoft account. I enter my password and it throws the error "Your Credentials did not work" Am I missing something? Any help is appreciated. Thanks James

Hey guys, first i hope im right here in that Forum. Now my Problem. Im having a little Problem about Remote desktoping in Windows 7. When im using remote display to work, i always see 2 diffrent cursors there. 1. Which is inside of my other Computer im browsing through remote desktop 2. The one im using to watch my Windows7 client. Both are always on diffrent positions. so when i want to click something i need much time for the click because i need to calculate and use fast my mouse to get for example on the OK button. Is there any way to LOCK my mouse inside of the remote desktop? Like on VirtualBox / VirtualPC?? I cant work like that because it takes much time to click anything ... Thanks in advance! Bathroth
