Windows Server Forum / Windows 2000 / Terminal Services / August 2006Virtual CD Question
We run a Win2K box for remote desktop / terminal services access from outside the firewall. And for our 'normal' users that is sufficient. But as a developer it doesn't quite cut it. I'm in the process of setting up a Visual Studio Team Foundation Server on a Win2K3 box (lot's of headaches) and I've been wanting to work on it from home this weekend. So I log into the Win2K box and remote over to the Win2K3 box with no problem. The problem is that the VS-TFS install is an ISO image that I mount using the unsupported Virtual CD Control Tool. It won't mount the image using the 2 hops of remote access. It mounts just fine when I remote from my work desktop. Is this something that anyone here has any experience with? Does anyone think that it would help if I made the Win2K3 box accessible from outside the firewall? Or is the Virtual CD tool not gonn'a allow any mounting command from outside the firewall? Thanks for your time. Not sure. Is there something wrong with burning a CD or DVD and storing the information on the network, or putting the disk in the CD Drive? Not the answer you were looking for, but there are usually more than one solution to a problem.

Our remote access port is on one server and I was trying to mount the iso on another server behind the firewall. I guess I could have burned the DVD and left it in the drive of the second server, except the ISO of interest was over 3 GB and I don't think most DVD-Rs have that capacity. But, I did figure out that it has to do with 2 "hops" i.e. remoting into one machine then remoting over to the machine of interest, instead of being behind the firewall or not, or one machine being Win2K or Win2K3. > Not sure.

Copy the iso to the machine where you want to mount it and it will be OK Alternatively use Daemon tools, it supports network ISO mounting SignaturePeter 107641 XP pro vlk over xp pro 2600 + sp2 Novell client for xp 4.83 - sp1 Visual studio .net > We run a Win2K box for remote desktop / terminal services access from > outside [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > > Thanks for your time. |
