Remote Administration and RDC

[Guest Patrick Squire]

Hi there,

 

For a while now I have been trying to find the answer to a problem that has

annoyed me for a long time now.

On Server 2003 I have deployed Web Remote administation & its working great

except for one area.

 

I want to use Remote Desktop through a web browser whist im off site. The

remote client works fine under XP with IE6 installed but If i use IE7 in

either XP or Vista i get the following Error:

 

---------------------------

VBScript: Remote Desktop Error

---------------------------

Error connecting to server: <Servername>. You must enable Remote Desktop on

the server to use this feature.

---------------------------

OK

---------------------------

 

I assume its something to do with the activeX controll and IE7/8. Does

anyone know a work around for this problem so i can use RDC via my fav

browser?

 

Thanks in advance

Google it. Its something else.

 

We use RDP no problem from Vista and XP with IE7.

But I don't ever remember there being a problem.

PS - ...and I just did a Vista reinstall last week and it works right

out of the box.
