@thanksaj you can use your phone to access lastpass and see a note that tells you what the windows password is.

Yeah, you could. But what happens on the day you forget your cellphone? What you're describing is kind of a h4x0r way of using LastPass. Not really how it was meant to be used. Or what it was meant to be used for.

Says who...it has notes for a reason. But just because you don't approve of the product being used that way doesn't mean it can't be used that way. Personal preference is just personal.

Also can anyone comment on the 4 words and how they beat a dictionary attack, thanks.

From my knowledge a dictionary attack goes through every word in its dictionary from a-z to identify the password. It would then have to go through every word it its dictionary coupled with every other word in its dictionary. Depending on the size of the dictionary (huge) it needs to find 4 words that match to meet the password. The combinations would be in the... hundreds of trillions? I haven't done permutations in awhile so someone who is good at math should check my work.

Ah ha...well now that makes sense to me...thanks for taking the time to share!

I thought all RDP bandwith was minute. This surely explains a lot.
Varies wildly. Size of desktop, amount of graphical change, if audio is passed, if printing is passed, how often the screen changes, how much of it changes, what types of graphics are used, colour depth, full desktop versus just one application... all factors.

We've seen RDP top 10Mb/s. That's many T1s. And that was for a single connection and was rate limited by being on a 10Mb/s line!

Well that explains the project I worked on for 2 years. The end users were using their own business class internet and we provided them the RDP icons only. So if you can't control their ISP, how would you make the system more responsive to compensate for the lag/delays that @NetworkNerd found?

Never got this image. Use 4 random words and now dictionary attack doesn't work?

Also whatever happened to use scary passwords but use Lastpass or Keepass to hold all that crap passwords?

Welcome!

Just throwing one more remote app out there .... www.ammyy.com ... I've used this in a pinch when teamviewer, join.me, logmeinresue don't work...

Thanks, I will have to demo that!

Yes it should happen quickly

I locked up a Join.me session on the PC by launching Task Manager

Way to go!

Also locked up when I launched the events log. Not sure if this is normal for Join.me but it sucked.

It's not a straight "either uses this much." It is a factor of "how it is used" and what data goes across the line. A heavily graphical application will have a lot of RDP bandwidth. And poorly written queries will have poor SQL bandwidth. You'd have to test real world usage to know the numbers.

I thought all RDP bandwith was minute. This surely explains a lot.

If I remember correctly she can log into Gmail and revoke the authentication token to all of her chrome sessions. Then she would need to change her password and ensure that her recovery settings are linked to her and not someone else. Then login to chrome again.

Thanks @coliver, making arrangements to be onsite since Take Control says Teamview isn't running and Join.me sessions have failed me twice when opening Task Manager or Control panel.

We tried that and that did nothing (though I think it has worked in the past).

Well I guess I will try, can't hurt! LOL!

Still pending, it should have installed by now, right?

This is the second time this client has had issues with Google Chrome. PC is only 2 months old and has already had Chrome uninstalled and reinstalled. I think her account with Google might have been hacked as extra users show up. We have a moonbeam user set as current (not the client's account) and the users head shows up on the top left of the browser where the incognito dude would be. At the moment, the browser doesn't show her logged in, but I believe she is normally logged into Chrome.

I am attempting remote support but Take Control isn't working and Join.me just stopped responding after opening the Task Manager.

@technobabble We actually had the same thing happen yesterday on a machine. I have reached out to support as we can't solve this one either. I will let you know what they say!

Thanks for jumping in here quickly...I appreciate it. Do you think if I edit the machine in Max remotemanagement and turn off Take Control and then save ...then turn it back on...would that do anything?

@Minion-Queen

I have a client that shows in my MAX RM dashboard and I have previously connected via Take control. Today I get: unable to connect A connection could not be established. teamviewer not running on partner computer. I had someone there reboot the W8.1.u1 PC but I don't think they logged into the desktop.

Is there anyway to resend take control via the dashboard?

I use Awesome screenshot : capture & annotate for Google Chrome browser and the snipping tool.

@coliver yep...totally glossed over that info!

@coliver Thanks for the info. I will install VirtualBox on the W10PE machine and see if I can get my VHD to run in VB. I really need to be able to remote into the box and access the VM, and Hyper-V is missing the tools in the W10PE build.

Do you have a dedicated switch between the RDS servers and the Epicor servers?
