Remote Desktop trying to connect to WAN IP

[jorgeluis.prado]

Hi:

I dont now if is a bug

When i try to start a remote desktop to a server from the windows dashboard it trying to connect to a WAN IP for that server, this con not be done.

If you want to connect from Internet to a more than one server in the same network, you must change the remote desktop port in every server to a diferent port. By default all server has a 3389 TCP port to Remote Desktop or Terminal Server. You must put in the Windows App a configuring option for remote Desktop in each Server. Also if a good idea put a selection option for connect as "Console Mode" (Admin mode for Vista Sp1 or better).

Yes, right click the "Remote Desktop Connection" command should go to the local IP address and not the WAN IP. This would be helpful for us because we could simply connect to our IPSec or SSL VPN tunnel and then right click the affected server.

This is going to change as we plan to make the context menu for remote desktop more configurable so all IP's will be shown (including the ability to set the default port and console mode)

Is there a way to receive notifications when someone logs into the computer (using Remote Desktop) that I'm running PC Monitor on?? I want to know when and if someone logs in using remote desktop.

Open PC Monitor manager app installed on your computer and go to the Notification tab. There are two options there under the Users group, select the "Send a notification when a user logs in".
