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?

    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences"

      By Big John Studd · Posted

      Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/

      This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?

      Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store

      Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?

      MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
