A kiosk pc we have at work had some trial kiosk software by kioware (http://www.kioware.com) installed on it. The pc was setup to boot into a windows xp account running this software and the software locks down the computer completely only allowing you to reboot the machine. This software’s trial period has now expired and I need to be able to get into the administrator windows account in order to register this software.
Before the kiosk software expired I could switch user accounts under windows, however now all I can do is reeboot and the software just shows a trial period expied message. The computer was setup to boot straight into the kiosk user account.
There is another user account on the pc which has full administrator access. How can I force this machine to boot into the other windows xp administrator user account setup on this computer?
Just realised you could still hit Alt-F4 in the kiosk software to log off to the other Windows Xp account even though the software had expired.

I connect from my home PC (Win10 Pro) to my office PC (Win10 Ent.) regularly.
Now I can't RDP from my home computer to office directly. But I can connect from home PC to my office server and from the office server to my office PC. Both office computers are on the same corporate network and a home PC is outside the corporate network (connected via OpenVPN to the corporate network).
There is no IP specific firewall rule blocking the connection (I changed no settings and one day just couldn't connect to the office PC any more). I can connect to my office server, but not to the office PC.
I tried several trials commended by MicroSoft answers and one of the posts directed me to check the RDP certificates.
My office PC was publishing several Remote Desktop certificates, from which one just expired and RDP from my home PC stopped working. The new RDP certificate was issued too, but it wasn't trusted on office PC as soon as it wasn't in Trusted Root CAs. When I entrusted the certificate and rebooted the office PC, RDP started working.
The question would be why there was an RDP certificate without the proper trust?
My question is how do I permanently install/deploy my release version of a Windows IoT Core application to my Raspberry Pi SD Card?
I have written a little application that I am fairly happy with for now, so I want to be able to install so my Pi boots it on startup and it can be left to run for weeks on end if need be. Right now when I deploy release to the "Remote Device" option it disconnects when it has the network cable removed/visual studio is closed etc. basically it just acts as if it was still in debug.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Once you've deployed it remotely via Visual Studio at least once, you should be able to set it by going to the Pi's Windows Device Portal (by navigating to http://your-pi's-ip-address:8080 in your web browser). Once there, go to Apps -> Find your app in the list -> Select "Set as Default App".
Alternately, you can remote in with PowerShell:
Open an Administrative PowerShell prompt on your computer.
Start the WinRemoting service with net start WinRM.
Add the Pi to WinRemoting's list of TrustedHosts: Set-Item WSMan:\localhost\Client\TrustedHosts -Value <Pi's machine-name or IP Address>.
Now, start a remote session: Enter-PSSession -ComputerName <Pi's machine-name or IP Address> -Credential <Pi's machine-name or IP Address>\Administrator.
It'll ask you for your Pi's password. If you left it as the default, it's p#ssw0rd (but I hope you didn't!)
List your installed applications with iotstartup list.
Find your app's App ID and use iotstartup add headed <appid> to set it as your startup app. If it's a headless app, you'd instead use iotstartup add headless <appid>.
Hope that helps!

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 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.
My software can discover all the hyperv vms (a software agent is installed in the hyperv host which returns the information). From my software I can do any operation on the vm. Now I want to take a remote console view of the hyperv vms from my software. It can be a web based or flash based or any other way.... How to accomplish this ?
Do you want to get the printscreen from the console or to control the VM through console remotely?
for the first one, Hyper-V provides an API through WMI where you can get the printscreen as a picture.
for the second one, you can simply use vmconnect.exe to connect to the console which comes with RSAT (remote administrative management pack, you can install it on Win7) or inbox on server edition. The remote control of the console is done by RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) which is the same as you run mstsc.exe to connect to a remote server. But it's using a different port and some customized metadata during initialization. You may look at the implementation by reverse-engineering vmconnect.exe with Reflector.
