Re: RWW Remote Desktop activeX control

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

IE 7 has a whole new Security Model that IE6 didn't have..that was
everyone's complaint. "IE 6 wasn't secure"

So Microsoft develops some new security models and folks don't like it.

You could go in and do a custom level and tell it to allow Active X.

Or you can go back to IE6

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

browser on my Windows XP machine. When I log into the Remote Web

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.
