I log into my work pc from home via VPN + Remote Desktop Connection.
When I log into my work PC, do the monitors invoke at work or stay locked and inactive?
In other words, when I working from home on my work pc, do others standing near my pc can see what I'm doing?
No, RDP takes over the console of the computer.
They however will be able to see on your monitor that You are logged in remotely to that specific computer.
They will see this for example:

So I am connecting to my work computer from home and the Remote Desktop Connection app is annoyingly slow.
I pinged my work pc from my computer and it returned at a reasonable time of 50ms~ with 0 loss. I then attempted to ping my home IP from the RDP session and it timed out every time. Not sure if this might help anyone come to a conclusion but hopefully it does. Note I am also using it in conjunction with Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client if that helps at all. Work is Windows 7 and Home is Windows 8
I attempted switching off my home pc's firewall but that did nothing.
Any assistance would be great, surely a setting in the RDP file might make it run a little smoother.
I'll edit this post with further attempts at fixes below
Did three things and now RDP is running screaming fast:
Change RDP settings:
Run the RDP session and connect to the remote machine
Find mstcsc.exe in the Task Manager and and set priority to Realtime
I installed Ubuntu server XRDP. Went through Windows and terribly slowed down. I solved this problem. In the /etc/xrdp/xrdp.ini file, change crypt_level=high to crypt_level=None
Our remote chain is Citrix then RDP, target machine is Win 10.
I solved this issue by changing the mouse pointer scheme to None and disabling the pointer shadow.
In Windows 10. Go to Display Settings >> Scale and Layout >> Set the custom scale to 120 [you may need to experiment, try 110 - 150]
After that log in to your Remote Desktop, it should adjust the resolution and scaling factors.
It gave me a faster experience. If you need more then follow the answer of Mr. B
When I click the send button for sending my app in Application Loader, it is waiting for a response (sent API usage to iTunes Connect, waiting for response) and waiting without error. I am getting a message "the network connection was lost" after a couple minutes. I tried another network connection but the issue was not resolved. Could the issue be on iTunes network?
It should just work if you quit Application Loader, then re-open it.
To submit an application to iTunes Connect, your Mac always need to be up to date, or you will be able to get errors. To do this click on Apple's logo > Software Update. I was having the same problem, and it solved for me. Cheers =)
I had to force quit and the re-open to make it work.
A normal restart did not work, nor did a restart of my Mac. Very weird.
Make sure your iTunes Connect user has admin privileges. I had it set at Technician and everything looked like it was working but it would hang on the "Sending API Usage to iTunes".
None of the above suggestions work for me. Likely the real cause is physical and related how Application Loader is using the internet. I have ADSL connection with a Netgear modem/router assigning each device at home a fixed IP address according to the mac address of the network interface of each device. I had noticed that when Application Loader is uploading, my Windows PC could not connect to the internet. However, if in Mac mini I use Safari doing various things like watching video, my Windows PC can access internet.
Even stranger, when Application Loader is uploading, the modem/router could easily lost connection to the internet, as I could see from the LED lights of the modem. The connection is lost randomly at any progress of uploading the 20 MB file.
So I had turned off Windows PCs, iPads, iPhones and Android device at home, so Mac mini is the only device using the Internet, the Application Loading has finally been able to upload the app successfully in one go.
My guess is, my home phone line has some noise, and Application Loader is using the internet aggressively particularly the up link, so stressing out the modem, then causing other devices like my Windows PC lost connection, not even able to resolve host.
So my working solution is to make Mac be the only device using the Internet, given that the internet connection is already in poor condition with noise, near the edge of losing connection.
I have installed windows phone 8 SDK and tried running a simple app which embeds a WebBrowser on a page. When I try to run the app in emulator the emulator does not get internet connection. It displays an error message saying "You don't have permission to modify internal Hyper-V network adapter settings required to run the emulator". Im sure my login has admin permissions. My machine is 64bit, hyper v is enabled and Hyper v manager is running, hardware virtualization is enabled in the BIOS settings, DHCP is enabled and its connected to a wired network. I have checked all the system requirements. What ever I do it keeps on giving the same error message. I setup everything in a different machine and tried running the app in that machine. The same error message is displayed in the that machine also. Can anyone tell me how to get it working.
DHCP is enabled and its connected to a wired network
Can you run ipconfig /all on your host machine and post it here please?
seems you have problem with your DHCP or maybe multiple DHCP and conflict.
You need to add your user account as a member of the "Hyper-V Administrators" group on the machine.
Detailed steps:
Hit Windows key + Q and search for "local users and groups". Change the search scope to "Settings". Click "Edit local users and groups".
Expand the "Groups" section. Right-click on "Hyper-V Administrators" and select "Add to group".
Add your user account.
Some connection tools on the host can have negative effects when used with the emulator; I found having cisco VPN client installed on the host prevented the emulator from finding the internet. Other VPN clients may have similar side-effects. I simply uninstalled cisco (the inbuilt windows VPN is fine for what I need) and it worked perfectly.
I've also seen problems where it won't find the internet after the host has been suspended / resumed. In that scenario, it turned out to be bad network drivers. I installed a dedicated Intel NIC (rather than the on-board NIC on the motherboard) - problem solved.
Basically, Hyper-V is a bit fussy.
try refreshing the hyper-v by unchecking and then checking it again,this worked for me.
Steps:
1.control panel>>programs>>Programs and features>>turn windows features on and off>>hyper-v
2.uncheck it and restart the pc.
3.again go to control panel an check hyper-v and restart the pc again.
the try to run the emulator,should work..
another possible reason is that you did not start vs2013 as admin
I have written an application using ALSA (snd_pcm_open, snd_pcm_readi, etc). The application works perfect locally on my machine. However, when I SSH to another machine and run it through the SSH connection, all calls to snd_pcm_open fails with a message "Device does not exist" or similar. The remote machine has a soundcard just as my local machine has.
What could be the problem here?
Thanks!
EDIT: If I run the application using the console on the remote computer (walk to the computer, login, run the application), the application runs fine.
The problem might be with /dev/snd/* access rights.
Be sure the user is in the audio group.
In my case, I had to do adduser $USER audio, disconnect and then reconnect.
Just to check for the obvious: Are the drivers for the sound card on the remote machine loaded and working correctly? Check /proc/asound/cards and see so that the card is listed.
Just to confirm...you have the application installed on the remote machine and the remote machine has otherwise working aplay etc? The remote machine must be set up so that if you were to login from the console and run the application, it would work
If this is the case then check your environment variables as sometimes they can be subtly different.
Found the reason. Turns out /dev/audio and the devices below /dev/snd/ where all owned by the user logged in on the remote computer, and readable/writable by no one else. For testing I applied chmod 777 /dev/audio /dev/snd/* and it started working.
Anyone know how I can apply a bit more generous permissions to the audio devices for the remote computer (which will last after a reboot)?
We are developing an application in VB.NET that will need to accomodate remote users logging onto a Microsoft Terminal Server using RDP through the MSTSC.exe client.
Is it possible to offer an 'Upload' button which will allow the remote user to pick a file from his/her local hard drive and upload to the server ?
In the Windows Remote Desktop client, each user will have to enable an option. Under Local Resources, press More.... Here you can select the local drives you want the Terminal Server to see. The drives will come up as a network drive on the Terminal Server.
I don't know if you need to set up anything on the Terminal Server. You may need to open additional ports on the firewall.
