PocketPC can't "Connect to Client Desktops" using Remote Web Workplace.
When I click on "Connect to Client Desktops", for some reason a popup box w/
"Internet Explorer" as the heading says "Press OK to continue loading the
content of this page". After clicking OK I get this message:

"This portion of the RWW requires the MS 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."

Someone told me that PocketPC doesn't download ActiveX controls & that I
would have to manually install it. Is that true? And if so, how would I do
that?

Thanks!

Are you assuming a Pocket PC version of the ActiveX control exists, or do
you know it for a fact? Pocket PC can't run ActiveX controls compiled for
Windows proper, and unless you know for sure that a Pocket PC version of the
control exists, it probably doesn't, in which case the question of how to
install it is somewhat moot.

Thanks for the info re ActiveX.
So, is it not possible for PocketPC to "Connect to Client Desktops" using
Remote Web Workplace?

Well, I did a quick search, and can't find any evidence of a Pocket PC
version of the ActiveX control, so unless someone else knows better, no it's
not possible I'm afraid. Looks like as far as RWW is concerned, the Pocket
PC user is limited to email and PIM functions.

Sorry to sound stupid, but what is RWW?

Does it just use the Remote Desktop ActiveX that was out? I used that along
time ago.

Can't you just use the PPC terminal service to RD. It's all the same.
