If RDCman is what I think it is, you should really consider Terminals instead (http://terminals.codeplex.com). It supports a shitton of different protocols, is open-source, and just seems to "work".

I will admit I haven't looked at Terminals in a while, but I don't think I'm alone in being a past Terminals user who jumped ship to RDCMan because at some point Terminals became a godawful crashy mess.

There's a few apps like that out there. mRemoteNG is pretty cool, and I loved ASG Remote-Desktop back when they still had a free version (vRD).

mRemoteNG is great. Terminals is a paint in the nuts when it resizes the window or has to paint a session within a RDP session already (so if I connect to my RDP server at a client and then try to use Terminals)

We're using RemoteDesktopManager, which is pretty decent, and the server edition ties in nicely with AD.

I need to know if these crazy idea's of mine are remotely doable using Server 2012r2, Windows Fax Server and some basic .NET programming. 1. Can I have Windows Fax Server receive a fax turn it into a PDF and name the file based off the senders phone number or a phonebook? I would love it if I could automatically save a backup of my company's faxes by customer. Something like CustomerA-1.pdf or 18001234567-2.pdf or maybe CustomerB-TIMESTAMP.pdf. I tried having my Bizhubs save backups of faxes but it completely useless since files names are just integer that increments. 2. Can I have Windows Fax Server receive a fax turn it into a PDF and forward it to different email address depending on the sender? e.g. all the faxes from customers go to customer service and all the fax from vendors to our accounting. I dream of the day I can rip out all of the fax lines in our office.

Whatever version I downloaded in February '14 has a tendency to crash about once a week if you RDP in to the machine it's running on using a different-than-native resolution (1080p -> 1366x768) and then login to the desktop again. I'm usually logged in to about 15 RDP devices.

I dunno about "basic .NET programming", but there's an API to hook into. What you're basically suggesting writing is a fax server, so you could also just buy Rightfax or something. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms692855(v=vs.85).aspx

Does Windows Fax Server look at caller id or does it look at the number the fax machine sends? I've found most people never configure that so the logs on my mfp are useless.

lol internet. posted:No MDOP so I probably will just enable it manually after OS builds. In regards to the last question, I don't have a full understanding how TPM works but I was just wondering if the user has access to the BIOS (No password,) do they have access to the encryption keys or anything in any sort of way. Nope, access to the BIOS doesn't give them access to the keys. However they can turn off TPM. The effects of that may vary depending on wether Bitlocker has already encrypted or not. I suggest setting a standard key for everyone, with a very strong passphrase, because if you're going to put a different one in each laptop it's gonna be a pain maintaining that. You should try it with some laptops first and see if it behaves the way you want it to. Do not forget to use bdehdcfg.exe to prepare the disk during the deployment process. If you do it after installing the image it might not look like how you want it to (the partition stays on the right of the OS partition).

I wouldn't spend any time on Windows Fax Server at all, it's barely been touched in years, and it was at best an afterthought. If you really want to do this in-house then look at Hylafax, but the correct answer is to port your fax numbers to someone else and have them handle the routing, and just send you emails.

Yep I know it by heart because it (kind of) makes sense. Does anyone here know how to setup a DirectAccess lab using NAT (No public IP)? My head is hurting just thinking about how I'm going to set up this poo poo and test it properly.

You'll still want to do a dual nic setup to get the full effect. I've seens pretty good blog entry on doing just this. I'll have to see if i can dig it up. Also do it on 2012R2 and plan to stick a hardware load balancer in front of a couple servers. This will make your life much better since it's not a windows server connected to both the internet and your internal network. This is probably the best article on building a lab for DA: http://blogs.technet.com/b/meamcs/archive/2012/05/14/windows-server-2012-direct-access-part-2-how-to-build-a-test-lab.aspx it's not amazing but should give you enough to get it started.

This will go into production with NAT though, so why would I use a dual nic setup, load balancing? What concerns me the most is setting up the NAT, since I'm using a lovely 3G pen. I should probably try this at home with my decent router and NAT port 443 to the internal switch IP used on the VM right?

I should probably try this at home with my decent router and NAT port 443 to the internal switch IP used on the VM right? If you can do the NAT bit in your lab, definitely do it. the dual NIC setup would be for if you can't make the NAT parts work for you lab. We run DA in a single NIC setup behind NAT in our environment and it works great. Aside from that do at least a 2 node cluster for the DA servers and a super clustered Network Location Server setup (NLS is just any SSL Website accessible internally but not externally or over DA). Putting the DA boxes behind a hardware load balancer with "sticky" sessions is the way to go from the outside. Just don't try to terminate the SSL session on the load balancer. DA is awesome but it's certainly different from traditional VPN solutions (in a good way I would suggest). If you can manage to get IPv6 running internal to your network, it's even more awesome.

lol internet. posted:Has anyone successfully setup SCCM with Bitlocker on a task sequence? From my understanding so far, you need to add a script which configures the BIOS? correct? Just wondering if this hassle is worth it for 40 users. Also, I assume there won't be an issue with TPM if I don't set a bios password correct? As mentioned before TPM has to be activated and a BIOS password must be set to activate and take ownership of the TPM chip. Once you've got those prerequisites out of the way you can use a task sequence to turn on Bitlocker. If you are using Dell's they have a tool out called CCTK I believe that can help you create a script that will do this for multiple computers.

Ok trying to setup Windows Fax Server is pretty terrible, I can't figure out of if I have setup wrong or if usb fax modem I have is trash. The routing seems to work but the fax never actually sends, I get it to ring my cell but when I try and send a tax between our two fax lines it fails.

I hope this is the thread where I can ask dumb server related questions. I've got a machine setup as a lab machine that I'm hoping to learning WDS on. Its a Server 2012 machine and so far I've setup AD, dhcp, and dns as they're all needed for WDS. Two really stupid issues I can't seem to figure out. First one. I can't get my domain admin account to remote desktop into the server. I have a domain user account that can do it. I've checked both domain user memberships and they are the same except for my admin being a member of Domain Admins. I then went to computer properties, remote settings and confirmed that both my domain admin and domain user name are listed under the users for the "Allow remote connections to this computer" radio button. My user can RDP but not my domain admin. Halp. Edit: In further searching, I've think its a setting I have to enable in gpedit, the Allow log on through Remote Desktop Services. I've got my domain user added, but not my domain admin. However, I can't get seem to edit this setting anymore. I've launched gpedit from an elevated command prompt. I'm wondering if I have to elevate using my local admin instead of domain admin since I'm changing local group policy. Anyone know? Coredump fucked around with this message at 22:10 on Nov 20, 2014 |

Make sure you're logging on using DOMAINNAME\Administrator, or else it will try to log on locally.

You shouldn't have to dick around with this or any policy unless you've got something fucky going on in your AD.
