Hi,

I have installed Active Directory Services and created a Domain Controller. I am having an issue with accessing my Virtual Machines using Remote Desktop Connection when i join them to Domain. It shows an error. I have turned the Windows Firewall Off, still not able to access VM. Does anyone have an idea what else needs to be done?

IIRC you need an account with a password not blank and V set via group policy or in system policy

Windows Components/Remote Desktop Services/Remote Desktop Session Host/Connectionshide

Policy Setting Comment Allow users to connect remotely by using Remote Desktop Services Enabled

If they're virtual machines, how do you have the virtual network cards configured? Are they handing out private IPs between the host OS and the guests, or are they allowed to connect directly to your LAN? That could prevent computers other than the one they're hosted on from being able to connect via Remote Desktop.

What virtual machine software are you using? (VMWare, VirtualBox, etc.)

What specifically does the error say?

Can you ping the virtual machines from the one you're attempting to connect from? If not, take another look at the configuration of the virtual network interfaces in your VM software.

"Once you join a Virtual Machine to a Domain, Additional firewall gets activated."

What? You mean the built in windows firewall? Yeah depending on your domain settings, sure it would be enabled if you set it to be, or didn't change the defaults. Just the change in the network connection type, home/work or public could enable change your rule sets you had setup.

Or do you mean that when you join the domain something other than the windows built in firewall gets installed?

      Payday 2 engine upgrade adds 64-bit and DX11 support, drastically shrinks install size by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Payday 2, the most popular entry in the heisting game franchise, is getting a surprising update after all these years. This is slated to be a complete engine upgrade that will enhance almost every aspect of the 13-year-old title, targeting performance, loading times, file size, rendering backend, and more. Developer Sidetrack Games is planning a beta to test out the new version ahead of the full public launch. The development team today revealed that the long-awaited upgrade to the 64-bit architecture is happening with this Diesel 3.0 engine update. By letting the game use more ram than 4GB, it is said to improve stability and compatibility on most hardware. It should also help modders in the long term with implementing larger changes too. "While many of the changes are made on the backend and not everything will be visible to you guys because it is a massive rewrite of the entire codebase, there will be a lot of things that you can look forward to," Sidetrack explained. Payday 2 will also hop over from DirectX 9 to 11. Instead of visual improvements, this is slated to reduce the amount of VRAM used by the title, letting more lower-end hardware access the title and run it better. Since these changes would require a complete redownload of the game anyway, Sidetrack says it has revamped "the game's packaging and bundling system." This should reduce the installation size from 86GB to 32GB. "So, now it's time to finally move the game to your SSDs," added the studio. The Payday 2 Diesel Engine 3.0 update is entering open beta on June 30 for Steam users. No console release plans were announced today. Sidetrack Games says it has been working on this complete rewrite of the codebase for the last nine months. While these changes should break most mods, the studio encouraged modders to use the beta period to repair their creations with support from the development team.
