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

Re: Remote Administration and RDC

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.
