Re: RWW Remote Desktop activeX control

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

I didn't have to do that before when I was running IE 6, it just prompted me
to install the Active X control, I did and it was happy.

The certificate is installed because the website has a public certificate
that's been issued by Entrust and it's already trusted by Windows, that's not
what my problem is.

I've tried to set the security to Low and the same thing.

I'm trying to set up an easy solution so that when I'm traveling and want to
remote in, I can go to any computer and do it.

Like I said, I didn't have to do any of that when I was running IE 6.

I am running Windows Small Business Server 2003 and I am running IE7 for my
browser on my Windows XP machine. When I log into the Remote Web Workplace
and try to connect to one of the computers, I get at the top of the screen:

"this website wants to run the following add-on: 'terminal services activex
client' from Microsoft. If you trust the website and the add-on and want to
allow it to run, click here...".

I click there, tell it to run and then I get this:

"The portion of the Remote Web Workplace requires the Microsoft Remote
Desktop ActiveX Control. Your browser's security settings may be preventing
you from downloading activex controls. Adjust these settings and try to
connect again."

After that, it kicks me back to the previous screen.

I am logged in as the administrator, I've checked the security settings and
all activex content is allowed to run. I also made sure that there's no
popup blockers turned on.

I went to Tools, Manage Addons and I looked for any activex controls that
had Microsoft or Terminal services in it. I couldn't find any in any of the
lists.

The only way I could get it to work is to add the site to the "Trusted
sites" list. Then it worked but I keep getting about 3 prompts when it
redirects me from the non-secure site to the secure site: "You are about to
navigate to this secure site, are you sure??".

Is there any way to get this to work without adding it to the Trusted sites
list??

Did you install the certificate?

The site should be part of your Trusted Sites, that's what Trusted Sites
is for. Your "Internet" sites should be set to high - which, because it's
IE, breaks most websites. Your company Web and RWW should be part of your
Trusted Zone, the companyweb should be part of the "Intranet", that's the
way Security works.

Install the certificate, so it doesn't prompt you each time, then make
sure that the site is in your trusted zone and you can set the trusted
zone to LOW.
