Seriously?

Well it could have been slight less than 900 times, I lost track after about 648...

update / after banging my head against the wall about 900 times I remembered that most problems have the same root cause... Microsoft.

So if you have a normal taskbar that is only one row instead of my two rows there is no problem...

Datasources: Dropbox, remotedesktopmanager online

Version 6.0.1.0

OS: WinXP

When running RDM maximized and having an embedded RDP session open try to change focus to the taskbar on your local computer - what happens in the RDM adjusts the open RDP session a little bit and this affects performance and causes a lag for your computer and shifts focus back to RDM and it's a REAL pain in the ass.

If you use alt+tab you will not notice it.

So to test:

Open RDM

Maximize RDM

Connect to embedded RDP session

click on another program in your taskbar to change and see how RDM takes focus back after a second or two.

It's driving me NUTS!

with debug set to 98 I cannot connect to an RDP session via remote desktop gateway.

when debug set to 99 it work as well as 5.9 - no prompting for credentials and all seems good so far.

Sounds good with the add-on - update us when it's ready :)

Always embedded

Hey, when updating my version 5.9.0.0 to either .21 or 6 I am prompted for credentials when trying to connnect via RDP to server using a remote desktop gateway server.

This does not happen if I downgrade to 5.9.0.0

Really annoying as I connect via remote desktop gateway to nearly 90% of my servers... any chance for a fix?

Downloaded the latest free version of RealVNC - just the viewer.

Installed it and set the path in RDM.

Created new VNC session set to embedded - get the above error.

Using the new version 6 of RDM

Usually I use TightVNC and that works well in external mode and so do RealVNC - but I thought at least RealVNC would work embedded?

Any ideas?

David is it possible to look at how Citrix themselves do it - with their online plugin they connect to an xml stream and loads the list of apps published.

Would be pretty awesome if some sort of functionality like this could be implemented.

Hi David,

See PM

Sorry about the delay.

Hi David,

I'll set up a notepad login for you and email you the details - won't be too long.

Cheers

Hi David

I'm not sure if that's possible - under normal circumstances when using the Citrix Web Interface you click an application and it downloads a .ica file your client opens and connect to the published application or desktop.

An alternative that, if configured, works is using PNAgent to connect to an xml service and when authenticated it lists all available applications/desktops published to that user.

Not sure if any of this can be built into Remote Desktop Manager - the PNAgent functionality would be pretty awesome since with Citrix's own PNAgent you are only able to connect to a single address.

If you need access to some Citrix published desktops for applications for testing please let me know and I'll set something up for you.

Same problem here - remotedesktopmanager tries to connect to the specified address on port 1494 when only 443 is actually open since it's going thru the Citrix Webinterface.

Is there a solution for this?

Will do - but don't think RemoteFX will provide much of an improvement over Citrix SpeedScreen or whatever they changed the name to in the current release... but let's hope so, now we've heard about RemoteFX for so long -- cheers

yeah pretty much the same - cpu usage and hang depends a bit on the size of the window that updates all the time. Actually similar to browsing a web site that uses flash, a terrible experience with RDP... Thanks Microsoft...

RDM hangs with 100% or near 100% CPU usage when a session connected via RDP to a client that runs for example robocopy or other batch job that updates the screen.

You are unable to use RDM for the duration of this update.

RDM Machine:

Version: 5.8.3.17

OS: WinXP

RAM: 4GB

CPU: Intel T9500

Connected to:

Win 2008 Ent.

32bit screen color

Embedded in RDM

and a few other sessions open as well - can reproduce easily... start a robocopy or endless batch loop on client and watch RDM use all available CPU...

cheers
