Windows SS 2008 R2 allows remore console access via Linux machines, but I
can't get it to work.

Microsoft Blurb:

*************************************************************

"Remote Web Administration
Administrators can remotely administer a server running Windows Storage
Server 2008 from a client computer by using a browser. For computers running
a Windows operating system and Internet Explorer 6 (or later), the Remote
RDP Client ActiveX� control will be run. The ActiveX control offers the same
functionality as the Remote Desktop Client, MSTSC.

Windows Server Remote Administration Applet
You can remotely administer Windows Storage Server 2008 from non-Microsoft
computers by using the Windows Server Remote Administration Applet. This
applet runs in a browser on the client computer, and it can be any of the
following:

� Firefox version 1.0.6 (or later)

� Mozilla version 1.7.11 (or later)

The Windows Server Remote Administration Applet is supported on clients
running Java 2 Runtime Environment, version 1.4.2, on a computer running a
Windows operating system and Internet Explorer 6 or later, or on Any of the
following non-Microsoft operating systems:

� Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 WS

� Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 WS

� SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 9

� SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 10

You can establish a connection through the browser. Windows Server Remote
Administration Applet does not support sound redirection, printer or port
redirection, or automatically starting applications.

*************************************************************

If you access the machine from a browser http://<ip>/desktop you get a rdp
type of connection. Microsoft state this can be acheived from Firefox for
example, on Linux machines with java 1.4.2

It works fine for me using Internet Explorer and XP workstations etc, but
using Firefox I get an error page stating "The remote desktop page is not
available from this browser"

Anyone have any ideas?

Harnub,

I would suggest to start a new thread instead of replying to another thread.
This way you can state exactly what your requirements are, what errors
you've come across attempting to configure the server, etc, and someone will
respond with assistance in your new thread. It will be easier for you to
track, too.
