Hi,
Just started using a HTC Trophy but I cannot for the life of me find an RDP client in the marketplace or on the phone.
Surely its there somewhere?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
J
"PC Connector" seems to do this.
There will be more as apps finish going through the curation process.
That is what i worry, i cannot find remote desktop on the telco set...
so confirm the PC Connector is going to work like remote desktop???
PC Connector is a pay software? come with the box? or market place DL?

It will be hard to find one of these because Microsoft doesn't allow full networking access. Unless someone writes a remote desktop app that runs over web services (weird but probably possible), or Microsoft opens low-level APIs, then there won't be one. In either case it might take time.

It's in the Marketplace... $4.99, but has a free trial.
I installed the free trial but it seems RDP is not one of its features.
Just found this - choung . net / charlie (cant post urls yet)[/url] - which kinda offers remote apps over http, works well and will do for the mean time.
Hopefully see some official RDP support soon...

so this is from MS? or 3rd party? sorry, i don't have the phone right now so i cannot try.
but looks like it is for file download, Remote Desktop Client?
Live Mesh
Someone who has a windows phone (not me) should look into Windows Live Mesh. On the desktop, it allows remote connections to a computer that has it installed. On the website for Live Mesh, there's a picture of a little phone. Of course, it might be referring to just syncing files, but perhaps doing a remote desktop via Live Mesh on the phone is going to be possible?
I certainly hope that someone develops this; however I spoke with one of the develpers on the team at Microsoft and he confirmed that Microsoft has no plans to ship a RDP client.
Without socket support it's going to be a pain. You would have to pass everything through a http proxy. The Remote Desktop app on the market place does something like that with VNC. Hopefully the next WP7 update will bring official socket support.
Sorry...no. You can use the remote desktop function to get to PCs but not the phone.
Can someone clear this up, are we getting a RDC remote destop connection app for WP7 ???
No, it is currently not possible to create an App for Remote Desktop Connections in Windows Phone 7 as one would need the ability to access the Socket-APIs.
This might become available in future versions of the development tools.
What is a possible is to have a server somewhere that translates from the HTTP-Requests of the Phone to the RDP protocol acting as an intermediary. As far as I know there currently is no App that does this.
A homebrew software using a jailbroken phone should be possible as they have access to socket-communication.
just search remote desktop in marketplace, then you will find tada, a remote desktop client.
and its called *suprising* remote desktop. how hard can it be
I have it up and running, only it's a trial. software costs 15pounds

Thats a VNC client, not a remote desktop (RDP) client.
Can't you just use a web based remote desktop client using explorer on the phone? Like free version of logmein.com or paid app gotomypc.com
I haven't tried it yet but I am sure it works might be a pain to maneuver around but I am sure there is a version somewhere that fits a smart phone screen size...
At least it's something to use until the second update in February rumored to release socket support maybe don't quote me on it.
the fastmarket remote desktop.
The problem: I use Real VNC from server side with password encryption - always on.
This app does not offer any encryption. Hope this will change.
If you are running non-free version of RealVNC, please make sure encryption is turned off.

I asked on Microsoft's social site for Live Mesh and they said they (paraphrasing a quote) "Would consider looking into possibly maybe supporting Windows Phone 7 in the future". Translation "Dude, youre a genius! Lemme check."
Doesn't sound like it's on the horizon.

Logmein free and logmeinrescue do not work as they require activeX controls or something (sorry I'm not a dev so that may not be the correct term...Im a XDA troll.) I have tried...
Can't wait for Sync/Mesh but I seem to have jettisoned RDP for logemin services and that would be awesome to have working on the phone.
hi
I work fork a distribution center for hardware parts and have been task with making our excel price database avalible to my 70 year boss on his kindle fire.
my original plan was to use dropbox , sync up the work pc with his tablet and in his tablet make the the document avalible threw adobe reader or open office probably as a read only document (since he doesnt know much about excel)
but i found that he generally disliked the use of spreadsheets on the tablet and am wondering if theres a way to create a more user friendly database for his tablet.
any help will be great and am willing to root the device if needed

How about a html export from excel, so you have a simple webpage? Then there is no need to have spreadsheet files and so on. Depending on the size of the original spreadsheet it might get a bit big to scroll though.
I couldn't help but noticed that the announcement for the new Samsung ATIV says:
Enterprise Solutions (upon request): Exchange ActiveSync, On-Device Encryption, Cisco VPN (Virtual Private Network), Juniper Junos Pulse VPN, EAS

Mind you this is for the RT version, not the Pro... I can't find these apps in the Market. Anyone know how this is accomplished? I really need Junos Pulse. Can I also assume if it's available on one tab it is just a matter of time before it hits the market?
Thanks!
I hope so. I could really use the Cisco VPN client. Sorry that I am no help. Hopefully somebody will be though.
Call up Samsung and ask how you can get it? They aren't likely to check what Windows RT device you're actually using.
Just wandering around their site is probably easier, actually.

I've been wondering the same thing, but I didn't bring it up yet because I figured no one else used it!
Yep, need this for work PC access. Ready to retire my HP Slate. Joining the thread to see what's what.
Hey all,
I created a thread over on Microsoft's site as well:

please feel free to pile-on there as well. May be helpful in raising visibility.

Have you got a source for this? I only read on Juniper's support forum last week that a Windows Store app wasn't on the 2013 roadmap.

Will look when I get home. the CORE web service is supposed to work, but Juniper has not gotten back to me on that. It is in a KB.
I believe it was in this video around 37 mark.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=Nb0KOh16zSc
Also see the Juniper KB26432
Well, now that the Surface 2 has been announced...
No more details on this? I see it mentioned in the video, but I know plans change.
I can't access the KB article - I have no idea why a login is required for the KB.

Buy a Surface Pro?
I am the network administrator and we at work have not found a way. We will have to wait for Juniper to create a download for RT. I tried several ways to make it work no joy.

Many VPN clients require a third-party driver installation, so even the current jailbreak hack (which only allows untrusted user-mode software, not drivers) wouldn't allow porting the client even if it were open source. If it's closed source, there's nothing that can be done from this end without wayyyy more reverse engineering than anybody here is likely to bother with.
Juniper are currently developing a Windows Store app for Pulse. Microsoft were late in releasing the VPN APIs to developers, but we can expect to see things like Cisco and Checkpoint too.
Glad to hear it. I'm interested in these VPN APIs; one of the limitations of the current "jailbreak" hack for RT is that we still can't install drivers, which makes it impossible to install current VPNs (and many other pieces of software). If there's a way around that, it would be awesome.

AlanJC put forth new information. I'd like to know the source of his info...
It was quite simple really, if you're registered with their support forums, you can ask, and we did.
It's going to be a Windows Store app, and will work on Windows 8 and RT rather than just a downloadable exe to install under the desktop from what we can make out.

Amy timeframe for the release ?
They didn't give a timeframe, just said they were currently working on it.
Any updates ?
Is there any alternative to Hamachi for WinRT (with the WinRT device being the client)..
Because RT doesn't run x86 apps, I need to VPN into a machine that sits behind a firewall with no port forwarding for RDP (remote desktop).
Therefore I want to run some VPN server on the machine so that the Surface RT can connect to the local LAN over the internet for an RDP session.
RT has the standard Windows VPN capabilities built in, I think (haven't actually tried). Third-party VPNs aren't supported without jailbreak, and won't be until Microsoft officially makes it available; WinRT apps simply do not have the permissions to create a network interface or re-route traffic (remember the days when Android VPN apps needed to be run as root? That's basically where RT still is).
Out of curiosity, if you can't forward the RDP port, why do you expect you'd be able to hit a VPN server behind the firewall? If it's just a matter of them specifically blocking port 3389, you can change the port that Terminal Services (RDP server) listens on in the registry.
You could try teamviewer, they can route the traffic through their servers so you don't need to forward a port to your pc in a firewall

I am planning to try that but was hoping there was also a service like Hamachi available ...

Look up Hamachi and reread my OP
Fair point. You're not actually VPNing *into* your machine, but into a Hamachi-operated central management server. That has... interesting... security implications, but I suppose it does provide convenience (it would also be an immediate termination offense anywhere I've worked that had a firewall configuration like you describe, but that's your problem, not mine). Why can't you set up port forwarding in the firewall? Also, you did expressly state "Therefore I want to run some VPN server on the machine" where "the machine" presumably means the one behind the firewall...
The only time I've tried using Hamachi before was for "LAN" gaming over the 'net, which I decided not to do after looking at how it worked. That was long enough ago I'd forgotten the details of how it worked.
My first post still stands. There are at least two things Hamachi (or similar) would need to do that are impossible for a WinRT app (or for any software on RT without a jailbreak, really): create a network interface (we haven't even managed that *with* jailbreak, because except in the case of the semi-official driver from Pluggable we don't have any NDIS6 driver we can compile for ARM) and control a network interface from an app (there are possibly some rather hacky ways this could be done, but nothing we have right now).
Good Thank you:fingers-crossed:
Maybe someone will port Zerotier? It's too complicated for me, please help me make my life little easier
