Embedding RDP webpage in WordPress - vb.net

So my dad wants to be able to RDP from a webpage. He knows this is a Windows Only thing anyway, but the problem is that I can't embed it in WP. Works fine standalone, but as soon as I embed it in a template or iFrame it, it stops working.
Any ideas?
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa380809(v=vs.85).aspx works if I put that on it's own webpage, but as soon as I put it in WP, it dies. I know jack about VB so any suggestions for someone who is great at WP, but poor at Windows/IIS/VB is welcome.

I am pretty good at all of the tech you mentioned.
WP is not special, after all of the server side processing it emits standard web stuff.
I can offer some standard debugging tips to see what the problem is:
Is it an HTTP/HTTPS issue?
Is it an CrossFrame/XSS issue?
Did you see any errors being thrown in the browser's console?
Did you run fiddler on it and see if there are any errors?
Did you look at the IIS logs to see if there were any errors?

JDeveloper deployment "Page can't be displayed" error

For development, I'm using the integrated weblogic feature in JDeveloper. So far, this has worked fine. I was recently put onto a different project, however, and when I try to deploy it, I'm having trouble. Here are the steps I take:
Run->Debug Server Instance (IntegratedWeblogicServer)
In the Projects, I right-click on Web Content->index.html and select Debug.
According to the log, the applicatoin deploys successfully with the target URL of http://localhost:7101/Myapp-Myapp-context-root/index.html and it then attempts to open the page.
However, this gets me a "This page can't be displayed" in Internet Explorer. No error messages in JDeveloper's log or IE's console. I realize this doesn't give a lot of information to work with, but it's all I've got right now.
One other thing, and I don't know how relevant this is, but if I attempt to refresh the page or enter it into a different browser, it redirects to https://localhost:7102/Myapp-Myapp-context-root/index.html
I figured it out. It switching to a secure port was related, as the finalized product is supposed to do that. Development requires the security-constraint fields in the web.xml to be commented out.

RROR – unable to acquire LMS API, content may not play properly and results may not be recorded. Please contact technical support

We are in the process of implementing Success Factors LMS, and trying to play and view SCORM compatible files exported from Adobe Captivate 8 and 9 in Success Factors LMS.
I get the message - 'ERROR – unable to acquire LMS API, content may not play properly and results may not be recorded. Please contact technical support’
I have tried SCORM versions 1.2 v3 and 2004 V2 and V4. We can view the content, however it does not track, show as complete etc.
We are also producing Scorm compliant files using Skillcast and Articulate, but we still hit the same issue, we can view the content after closing the API error window, but still does not track.
Anyone experienced this problem before? Or know of a fix?
Many thanks
Normally this issue comes up when the course is unable to get the SCORM API from the LMS...I have seen a ton of SCORM content running in Success Factors before, so I wonder if the issue is in the setup. Are you seeing any "Access Denied" type errors in the browser element inspector/developer tools? I wonder if the course just can not find/have access to the player window. If the course is launching in a new window, you may want to try launching it in the frameset. I have seen folks get around this issue by making sure the player and sco are in the same window...
If you wanted to rule out the content being the issue, you can always test your content in the SCORM Cloud's free sandbox (https://cloud.scorm.com) to make sure the course is properly asking for the API...
If you have any other questions, we would be happy to help...you can just shoot us an email at support#scorm.com.
Thank you!

The error occurs because the content is not speaking to the Learning Management System (LMS). The code that runs to initialize the session doesn't happen. There is no return "ping" from the LMS.
You will get this error when you publish in SCORM and run from your desktop, or from a web server that isn't connected to an LMS. If it occurs when you are launching from an LMS it can either mean that the SCORM API isn't configured correctly, or your content server is on a different domain (cross-domain) than your application servers.
To test, you should try launching your content in different browsers. Our system was configured in such a way that Firefox and Chrome read our content to be cross-domain issue, and threw the SCORM API error, but Internet Explorer worked just fine.
In the end, it was determined that our server configuration in tandem with our firewall and security settings read the Content server as cross-domain and we had to redeploy our content servers within the firewall.

IIS Remote Manager is missing icons for a specific site

I have a developer that came to me with and issue. He is remotely managing one of his sites on one of our development servers and all of a sudden he lost all of the icons in IIS for this specific site..
All other sites display his icons correctly and when I have him test on another computer everything displays correctly.. So what could have gone wrong on his machine? It was working but is now not working.. Any help here would be greatly appreciated.. Never seen this before and cant seem to figure out what caused it to just go away.. There should be so many more options for him.. Plus if you can see he lost the ability to see the folders on this site also.. And it is every site on this server.. But like I said it is just on his computer, he goes to a different computer he has access to everything..
Guess I cant post a picture.. But if you need to see it I can send it to you if you need to see what I am talking about..
Come to find out he was ignoring the prompt that he was getting saying that there were new versions of the tools to download on his machine that are on the server.. He just hit Cancel instead of selecting them and hitting ok to install the DLL's and enabling them.

How do I go about safely taking a screenshot of a website that I know is infected with malware?

Background:
One of my clients' websites has become a malware infested hotbed.
Disposing of the malware has proven difficult and time consuming, and, in the meantime, we still have had to do work on the site.
For now, we went to some trouble to do our work - creating a disposable VM to just run a web browser, so we can see what the site looks like for the designers' work, for example.
I'm wondering if there's an easier (and faster) way to get an idea what the design of the site looks like. Not everyone on the project is tech savvy enough to be trusted with, for example, properly handling switching VMs.
Question:
Is there a method for safely seeing what a malware infested website looks like (for example, a service which will browse the site for me and send a screenshot), one which ideally is easy and simple enough to use that I can trust our non-tech-savvy designers to user?
You might take at look at Internet Archive: Wayback Machine to see if the site has been archived.
If a screenshot is all you need, there are several online browser simulators, such as Net Renderer (which will run any inputted web URL in a given version of Internet Explorer and then supply a screenshot). You might also try BrowserStack, which requires an account, and is not free, but does have a free trial period, and offers more than Internet Exploder.
You could also try running a browser in Sandboxie, which is simpler to set up and use than a VM (you just install it, and then use the windows right-click menu to launch any program in a sandbox of your choosing). However, it isn't free for commercial use.
I don't know if exist a standalone tool to parse a website for malwares, but I think this can help you, it's a google tool that you can you with a request and they will send you a response.

Safari can't get HEROKU's cookie

I am sorry that I am not able to provide much info because I totally have no idea about this weird problem.
I have a fb canvas app which is written by rails 3.2.2 .
There is not any problem on my local machine (Mac OS X 10.7.4).
When I deploy it to heroku, it is fine with chrome and firefox. However, when I use Safari to browse it, Safari can't get any cookie from heroku. (it shows "This site has no cookies" in developer tool, but it works well on my local machine.)
I have googled this problem, and I get something like this and this, but I don't think these are the case of mine.
any suggestion?
If you need any specific info about my code to solve this problem, please let me know.
I will appreciate it very very much!!
I finally found out that it's a problem of safari's security setting.
As fb canvas gets heroku's content through iframe, there may be security issues. If we donwgrade the 'Block cookies' of safari's privacy settings from 'From third parties and advertisers'(default) to 'Never', everything works well!
However, I don't think asking users to downgrade their security settings is a good idea. I am wondering whether there is a solution to avoid this restriction in safari.
please let me know if you have any idea. many thanks :)
