Does anyone know an alternative to Terminal Services Client?

Hey there, now that I've got my shiney new XDA Exec, with its VGA Screen and inbuilt Wi-fi I want to have a play with the Terminal Services Client to control my PC...I'm pretty sure that's what it can be used for right?
Well anyway from what I've read TSC can connect to (among other things) Win XP Pro computers with remote desktop enabled...however my computer only has XP Home so I can't do this, so can anyone recommend an alternative (possibly better?) program that I can use to control my XP Home PC using my XDA Exec....
cheers!

VNC (free)
GoToMyPC (not free)
There is more information in the "terminal services full screen" thread in this forum.

I have been using GoToMyPC for a long time. It's a subscription-based service. But I am happy with it. Very stable and functional. And full-screen.

prob with those apps is, terminal services connects to all modern windows operating systems and no extra software is needed, im not running round the country installing vnc onto everything, if its already got RDC/Terminal Services intergrated. On my work network i have access to 36k+ machines, yer 36,000 machines. all 2000,XP,2003, the other 30k machines are still NT or 98, upgrades aint a overnight thing!!!
so you see, not an option im afraid
*edit* what really grinds me is that i would have thought it was obvious to M$ that fullscreen should be an option, but as with the diabolical MSNM, the most obvious upgrades never appear, surlly in that groups aint a hard thing to do. and turn the bloody beeping off when ppl sign in.
Obvious things strategicly lost??

use www.logmein.com man its freakin great and you can use for free
if you put your device in landscape it is a clean view too

z2remote2pc works a little better than logmein, I think. A little more control of the desktop with z2. LogMeIn is nice though.

but do these apps use the RDC protocol ? i cannot amend 30k+ machines just to do remote desktop, it has to be compatible else its pretty useless to me soz

Carnivor, I presume your request is satisfied?
Why on earth 30,000 machines? Heyzus!
What PDA are you using?

30k machines is roughly the number of client machines the company i work for has. i have access to them all via TS, not that i need them all, i mainly access a handful of desktops that are mine, and the clients servers.
its quite handy to be able to wifi my desktop in the room next door when im standing at a rack in the server room as there is nothing but racks in there and an additional desktop in there would get easilly spotted.
im on a Jasjar btw, happy to test your app wink wink**
and i have VS 2005, is it poss for a 2003 project to be loaded into VS 2005 and compiled??? if you aint got it yet its a possibility
ps, ohh yes, im satisified, its what should have been done on theyre attempt ( M$ )

Carnivor - I have Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2. I'm waiting on RC1 because the tools I use in Beta 2 don't work properly on the WM5 emulator. As soon as I get a new version of VS2005, I'll sort through the WM5 issues and bang out a preliminary version for you guys to try.
The current version should still work nicely even on Wm5, but only in Portrait QVGA. However, a full landscape VGA version should follow soonish.
If you've got a spare VGA PDA, send it my way! I'm desperate :wink:

Microsoft Visual Studio 2005

thats the version i have

The Crossbow RDP in Windows Mobile 5.0

The Remote Desktop Client in Crossbow is perfect: just the same as the desktop edition. The possibilty to run in true full screen, 16-bit colors, playing sounds through the Universal's speakers, has an exchangable clipboard, fast rendering, etc. etc.
The one (Terminal Services) in Windows Mobile 5.0 is not much compared to that new one.
Is there a possibility to run the Crossbow version in WM5, or is there a third party alternative, as good as the new RDP Mobile?
Thanks.

Hi,
No one knows?

z2 remote2pc is the best i think... colored.. you can download files from pc..

I installed this on my PPC6700 WM5, and works great, except I can't use the keyboard . Any body else experience this?

Thanks, that's great!! The RDP works perfect as it should in Crossbow on a WM5 device.
Did you extract the RDP from a Crossbow ROM? If so, would it be possible to extract the new Internet Explorer Mobile as well?
Thanks again!!

Nope, there aren't any REAL alternatives - see my related article at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=288506 .
BTW, unrtunatey, the WM6 RDP client can't transfer files, unlike some of the H/PC .NET implementations - and, of course, the desktop Windows one

It is working on Smartphone WM5
I just installed this on my wm5 smartphone and it is working just fine
you need SPHelper to emulate mouse pointer
THANKS

Keyboard disabled for me too, WM5 on an XDA-Exec. Bit of shame really...would be nice if someone had found a fix already...

A solution that work is to use the Windows virtual keyboard (somewhere in accessories). It's like the PPC keyboard, but on the remote computer. It works... Until a better fix...
Regards

Works perfect with Blueangel WM5 AKU 3.5
works in 256 color and in 16 bit color
sound works, hardware and software keyboards work

Any update on the keyboard issue
I got really excited about this until I also found the non-working keyboard issue (on an HTC Tytn/Hermes) - any likelihood that this will be fixed and any timescale?
Thanks

Install the app in the RAM instead of the memorycard and you're done.

WM6 Mobile & Remote Desktop Windows Vista
I shot a video (windows Vista on my Windows Mobile) - It works a charm

p.s:: I was experimenting with iMovie HD on my Macbook and got this video made,lemme know if I need to improve
Link for the video :: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d589LnIGW9o
Sorry for the quality : Was using my windows Mobile's Camera and iSight!!

Fullscreen
Hi.
I manage to got it work on my Loox n560, keyboar also work when installed it in main memory, but when I switch to full screen mode then keyboard isn't availible anymore and also can't switch back to normal mode from full screen. How do you switch back to normal mode?

Either soft key for me gets out of full screen, on universal

The program works fine on my SPV M3100 as an RDP client except even when the 'Save Password' box is checked, it doesn't actually save the password !
Do I need to install something else to get this working ?

thx dude, works fine for me with windows mobile 6 on eten x500

RDP does not work for me
Hi all,
I installed the RDP on my xda orbit WM6. When I try to connect my Laptop (XP Prof. SP2) reacts like desdcribed in other forums (changing to the log-in screen). But on my xda I can't see the remote desktop. Just under a second I can see a picture (looks like a message with a button) but then the display goes black and after some seconds an error message comes that the connection can't be established. Does anyone have an idea what I do wrong?

Just installed this new rdp. It works like a charm.
Except I want to use the Function keys I've got on my keypad. So that when I press F12 in Excell that it opens "save as" or F5 to use "go to".
Grtz

App for Remote Access from PC ?

Please help !
I remember that somebody described a software here which can be used to access the mobile device via pc. You get a window on your pc with your device's view and you can control your phone via pc the same way as you could do it directly on the mobile device.
But I simply can't find this software Does anybody remember the name or have a link for me !
TIA!!

My Mobiler @ http://www.mtux.com/

Pocket Controller pro for me.

MyMobiler (freeware)

Just played with MyMobiler and Pocket Controller pro. Both very cool apps. Is there a app that will allow you to do this without being connected to the computer, kind of like log me in, dont/cant install to cpu, so something that is web based (java)

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/archive/wce/downloads/ppctoys.mspx
Remote Display Control for Pocket PC. Worked flawlessly on WM5, haven't tested it on WM6.

VNC ?

yes, but i'm talkin about a server on the ppc that i can access on the mac. Tried all of them, only the PocketVNC works... But I can only find the trial that closes after a minute. On the site, can't find a link to buy it! Can't seem to find a working version (no time limit) too.

Have a look at R-HUB remote support servers for remotely accessing your Mobile device from PC and vice versa. It is easy to use and works on all platforms viz Windows, MAC, Android, iOS etc.

Extend desktop to PPC

Is there a free bit of software that will allow me to use the ppc as an extended desktop.
I have played with side window, but would rather not pay for it as i don't think I will use it enough lol

RDC is another option

Would that extend the desktop (use the ppc as a monitor)?

yes..its a short form for REMOTE DESKTOP SHARING..just as u do in wiindows..btw which device do u have and which OS ?

I am on windows XP with an htc touch running wm6

With MyMobile you can do that!
You find it here

Not quite what i need, i use that to control my ppc, what I want is to actually use my ppc as a second monitor, but thanks NatroXz

if u have WM6..remote Desktop sharing is already their..just configure it to connect it to ur computer

ok, so that is letting me remote control my pc, how do i get it to act as a monitor instead? thanks so far!!

sorry a bit off subject
basically my mouse has died on me and i was wondering wheather there is a app to turn my ppc into a touch pad which would connect via activsync and control my pointer on my desktop pc ?????
thanks

yep, look up ppc tablet (not free mind)
http://www.aacompserv.com/AACompWeb/Modules/PPCTablet/WhatIsIt.aspx

Check out http://www.innobec.com/en/products.php for what I am looking for. It is good, but I want to find a free way of doing it, as it is quite handy having somthing like notepad open in the ppc whilst i work in the main screen

thanks for the reply i downloaded to software you recommended but it did not install on my x51v .
i ran the cab file and went through the set up ............it said it is installed but could not find it anywhere on the ppc looked in programs and file explorer ....nothing!
i ve got a axim x51v with a cooked a03 rom
thanks for your help

tehre´s any equivalent software? or anyone knows how to fix the problem with sidewindow?

J2ME for WM6

Trying to figure out if there was ever a real Java VM developed for WM6. I know my TyTn II has something called Esmertec Jbed but when I try to run a MIDlet it says "the MIDlet could not be instatiated: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError"
Could someone else try this out and see if they have better luck?
http://startofentry.blogdns.org/space/MobileControl/MobileControl+Midlet
Otherwise I'm looking for recoomendations on an application to use my WM6 device as a remote over bluetooth mapped to keystrokes on my vista box.
Thanks,
Devan

1. no BT in any J2ME's, sorry - read my MIDlet Bible.
2. check out my remote Bibles for alternates - for example, http://wiki.xda-developers.com/inde...s for Windows Mobile - the Definitive Roundup . I recommend for example PPC Tablet Remote Control Suite

Thanks for the write-up really shows a lot of options out there for media control.
I'm trying to use this to control XBMC, which primarily uses just the simple arrow keys. I got really excited by PPC Tablet Remote Control Suite but it seems that the keypresses don't work correctly in XBMC. That is to say that when I test them in another window they work, but then in XBMC I have no luck.
Then I tried jaylee.org’s Bluetooth Remote Control for Windows Mobile but I can't get the WM client to discover the server app.
Really I just need something that allows me to map controls on the display of my phone to keypresses at the PC (like the above programs)
Handy comparison table though.
