From: Robert Zahm on
I am curious if I can use a Sprint PPC-6700 to remotely connect to a
computer on an SBS2003 network. I don't think that the browser will allow
me to download the ActiveX control to connect through the Remote Web
Workplace, but I saw some posts regarding port forwarding and VPN. My
question would then be getting the remote desktop client onto the Windows
Mobile device.

Has anyone done this?

Thanks,

Rob

On PocketPCs there is a built-in Terminal Services Client (TSC) that you can
use to do this. I don't know if the PPC-6700 has that installed or not. On
PPC devices you would look in the "Start -> Programs" folder.

For PPC devices that don't have the TSC built-in you can download a copy
from MS that usually works, AFAIK...

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/wce/downloads/ppctsrv.mspx

Again its pretty crippled and I don't know if it will work on your device or
not.

Beyond that note that even if you get it to work that you can not connect to
the server using 128-bit encryption. The TSC only does 64-bit encryption
which is why some folks run it through a VPN tunnel...

Your also correct in that you can not use the ActiveX control to connect to
a Terminal Server or XP Pro Remote Desktop host using the web based client.

Beth,

If the Terminal Services Client is not installed on your device and
available in the "Start -> Programs" folder then you might try downloading
and using this version. It should work for you...
