Remote Desktop Web Connection

[Jason]

I've installed IIS and the Remote Desktop Web Connection,
however, I'm unable to remote desktop to a computer using
this method.

I connect to http://machine/tsweb, enter the server name,
username and domain, click connect, and then get a
webpage with a border outline and a little icon in the
upper left window. Any ideas?

What I've tried so far is to lower the security in the
intranet zone (thought maybe I wasn't getting the active
x control) and made sure that remote desktop was enabled
and opened the port in Internet Connection Firewall.

Please help

Thanks in advance!

Is Terminal Services running on the server? What is the icon that appears?
Does anything show up in the Event Log on either machine?

Using the web based method you need both TCP Port 80 (IIS) and TCP Port 3389 (RDP) to be passed
through any firewall/NAT/router. Its possible your office is blocking both outbound and its possible
your ISP is blocking TCP Port 80 inbound, since running a personal web server probably violates any
user agreement you agreed to when you signed up with them.

With that said, its possible to change both the IIS port and the RDP port, which may allow you to
connect. See these links for further help with that...

The calling scheme would change to...

http://YourHomeIP:8080/tsweb/

....if, for example, you change the IIS port to TCP Port 8080.

*A quick related question: my workplace has apparently disable
externally accessing a computer using the Remote Desktop Connectio
client

I was hoping to use Remote Desktop Web Connection as a "sneak around
the blockage put in place by my employer, *

Maybe you should just ask your admin. If they are blocking Remot
Desktop I would think that they want it that way for security reason.


To try and "sneak around" this is not good. I don't know who I fin
more annoying ... outside people trying to hack into a compute
network ... or the employee who keeps trying to find ways around th
security measures .... If your admin and your boss won't allow it ..
don't do it
