I am running into an issue connecting to a wifi AP using Windows 10 PC.
The AP is located on an embedded device, amd uses WPA2-personal security. The AP can be enabled by our testsetup for certain testcases. The idea is to let Windows connect to the AP in these tests.
I am able to manually connect to the AP when it is active. However, when I try it when there is no active user (e.g. headless/CI setup), I get an error.
The command and reply I use when manually connecting (using a saved WiFi profile named "Test_AP.xml"):
PS C:\projects> netsh wlan add profile user=current filename=Test_AP.xml; netsh wlan connect name=Test_AP interface="Wi-Fi"
Profile Test_AP is added on interface Wi-Fi.
Connection request was completed successfully.
When I try with no activ user (e.g. headless/CI setup), the reply is:
Profile Test_AP is added on interface Wi-Fi.
The network specified by profile "Test_AP" is not available to connect.
I was able to reproduce it, by adding a sleep command before executing the powershell commands, and immediatelly disconnecting my remote session to the PC. When I reconnect after a while, I see this error.
I already tried adding to profile to all users, but to no avail.
Does anybody know why Windows is not able to connect to a wireless network in this case? Or any inspiration what I can improve?
Kind regards

I am currently running a server with Windows 2000 and running client computers off the same switch/network which are running Windows CE. I was wondering if there was a way for me to remote access into my Windows CE clients from my Windows 2000 server? Please let me know your thoughts, I greatly appreciate any constructive input.

Edit
It doesn't necessarily need to be remote access. If there is a way for me to detect the client, maybe a DHCP change, and then allowing me to run script from the server into the client computer, that would work too! Thank you in advance once again.
Window CE does not have RDP host for other systems to connect but you can use application like CERDisp which connect to your Windows CE / Windows Mobile terminal over active sync and display its screens in a window. You can also use the mouse and keyboard on the desktop to remote control the device the same as if you were using the popup PDA keyboard and the stylus.
We have used it long time back. For some information you can look at http://nicolasbesson.blogspot.in/2007/12/enable-remote-display-application.html
You can download this application from http://www.naurtech.com/wiki/wiki.php?n=Main.ToolsCERDisp
There are additional application like Remote Display that allows to operate the target device's Win CE desktop from a Windows PC. It requires a USB ActiveSync or Ethernet connection. For information you can review at http://developer.toradex.com/knowledge-base/remote-display
I have a Raspberry PI with Win 10 IoT installed.
The device is connected through Ethernet, I can ping it
I've connected through Powershell, changed admin password. Followed instructions here: http://ms-iot.github.io/content/en-US/win10/samples/PowerShell.htm
I can connect to the device's web based interface http://ip:8080
However, WindowsIoTCoreWatcher.exe does not show or list my device. I tried Refresh button, run as admin. Still no result.
How can I fix the issue?
Thank you,
WindowsIoTCoreWatcher listens for UDP broadcasts that are sent every five seconds by a process running on the device: C:\Windows\System32\ebootpinger.exe. It appears that this process occasionally dies or stops broadcasting, particularly if the device has not been rebooted in several days. It can be restarted with the PowerShell command (e.g. in a remote interactive session):
Start-Process ebootpinger.exe
I have a mac running Lion OS, and Windows 7 Ultimate installed on VMware Fusion
on my Windows machine, I have IIS running and I can access it from my mac browser using the IP address such as:
http://192.168.0.10
I am developing an iPhone app on xcode and connecting to IIS as a server to access MS Server DB for testing.
my problem is that I use my mac on many networks such as Work, Home, MiFi and others
every time I change the network the IP changes and every time I need to access IIS I need to update my server IP in my app.
even on my home netwrok or MiFi the IP is the same every time I connect (Dynamic)
I am thinking to access the IIS using the PC name on my windows 7 machine like this:
http://mypcname
to make easier to test without editing the IP every time.
Can anyone guide me how to do that? I did search around many sites and forums to figure it out with no success, maybe I am missing something.
Thanks in advance.
can someone explain me how this app works? I mean, is not about how to use it, is about how they transmit information from the computer to the mobile device, I just need general terms.
They run a VNC server on the computer and set up port forwarding using UPnP.
They're using a remote desktop protocol (VNC) to transmit the image on the screen over the internet to the client device. Individual actions (like mouse clicks) performed on the client device (e.g. an iPad) are sent over the internet back to the computer, where the RDP server emulates the action.
In order to bypass issues like NAT, they either use UPnP (automatic port forwarding) or have an intermediate server somewhere that both the client device and computer connect to.
Using XenApp6 on Windows 2008 R2 I have the windows Calculator as a test app. Apps are set to run on the server, and are not streamed to the client. When running Calculator from inside the network it runs as expected.
However, when accessing the app from an external web browser or Citrix Receiver, the client always times out and the Calculator app is not launched. I see incoming traffic on port 1494 (which is open) but there is no response from XenApp.
For both internal and external, I log in as Administrator and can see the citrix management console showing my test Calculator app.
Any ideas why it's timing out and not launching from the internet?
Thanks.
Chris
If the Citrix server's internal IP is being NATted to an external IP you may need to set an alternate address using altaddr on the Citrix server. Try this: Download the ICA file that the Citrix server passes when you launch a published app from a web browser, open it in a text editor, and see what FQDN or IP it is trying to connect to.
