RD Client – Azure joined pc

By blog.tomtechproductions.be on 23 August 202423 August 2024

The problem with azure joined pc’s is that you need a local user if you want to authenticate from a device not in the same tenant.

Allow remote connections

2. Set the settings as following

3. Add local user –> MMC –> ADD Module (Local users)

Now you can login to the device with the local created user, you can add the user to the group administrators for full control.

Error in point to site VPN “The connection was prevented because of a policy configured on your RAS/VPN server.”

X32 rack as stagebox

By blog.tomtechproductions.be on 17 September 2023

Use an X32 rack as stagebox for X32 console.

First things first, link X32 rack with console with an SFTP-cable from AES-A to AES-A

X32 Rack settings

Set clock-source on rack to AES50 A (in top the A sign should turn green)

Set HA Remote on rack to AES50 Port A

On the routing page set AES A inputs as desired

In the routing page go to XLR and set to an unused AES A range

If you like to manual adjust settings, you can do this in the user page

X32 Console settings

Lock the stagebox in the setup page

Now link the AES inputs from the rack to your console

Set the outputs to the AES ports
