Remote Web Workplace and ActiveX error in MAC

"This portion of the Remote Web Workplace requires the Microsoft Remote Desktop ActiveX Control. Your browser's security settings may be preventing you from downloading ActiveX controls. Adjust these settings, and try to connect again."

In Windows PC, I could do the following:

In IE7, Tools > Internet Options> Programs> Manage add-ons. Look for 'Microsoft Terminal Services Client Control (redist)' and make sure is set to 'Enabled'.

But I have a MAC laptop; can you please help me where/what the settings will be in MAC.

Thanks

thanks
Hi

I would love to be of more assistance but I am pretty much a MAC noobie. They actually had parallels installed so just had to test and tweak a few settings.

Check out

http://www.parallels.com/products/desktop/

This will give you all the information and there is very good documentation on the site for the setup as well.

There is a free trial version you can use as well.

P.S., you can also use RDC through a VPN from a Mac.

I used to use that when we had SBS2003, but it wouldn't work with SBS2008.
codeweavers.com seems to the most appealing because it does not involve buying windows.

I will have the mac tomorrow, so I can test this.

So, do I understand correctly that these options: vmware,virtualbox,winintelmac all needs legal windows XP Pro to work?

VPN, Direct IP are not available options now.




Sounds right.

Hate to have to buy, install, and maintain a whole second OS, which makes Crossover very appealing.  It is less robust, and can be a bit quirky, but you have to balance that against the time, expense and frustration of running the full Win OS.

Thankfully their 30 day demo lets you really test it before committing to anything.
Crossovers is definitely worth a try. I used it quite successfully for RWW when we had an SBS2003 server, but as I say, switching to SBS2008 broke it. Since then they have come up with a newer version of Crossovers. Perhaps it will work.
