Google Compute Instance RDP Fails (after working for years)



Apologies if this is a bit basic:



I have a Google Compute Instance running Windows Server 2012 R2. It has a valid admin account and password (checked via gcloud). The external IP address can be pinged, the system has been stopped and started successfully. The gcloud commands execute successfully etc etc.



If I try to RDT in I get the unsuccessful message. If I use the RDT (Chrome) option in the Google Cloud Platform admin page I get this message:



In order to use the Chrome RDP Extension, you must configure VM
instance so that it has an external IP address, username and password.



Note: You must configure the network firewall to open TCP port 3389 to
enable RDP access.



Note that ALL of the above are correct and confirmed.



I am sort of going round in circles, I've tried to use powershell on a windows system to RDT in to no avail. Again, using the built in Bash serial access I can get to the system and, for example, retrieve the admin account and password, BUT RDT FAILS.



I have tried using the powershell command Enter-PSSEssion... and I initially got a winrm error, apparently the IP address needs to be in trustedhosts. Fixed that and now I am getting a message that I need to verify that winrm is running on the destination computer, catch 22, that's why I'm using winrm, to access the destination computer.



Any ideas what I might try next?



Thanks.....





You might be missing to allow tcp/5986 port from anywhere. As by default, upon creation of instance it allows 3389 but not WinRM. Check the documentation here

create a rdp network tag for firewall rule, which allows tcp:3389 ingress and and then apply it to the instance in question... someone (assuming you're at work) might have removed/edited these rules trough the console or gcloud command.


rdp


tcp:3389





Thanks, I've already done that (and it has the default RDP from anywhere on TCP: 3389). Yet when I do a portscan it doesn't show tcp:3389 as OPEN

Apologies for the many comments. After a number of stop/reset/starts I managed to get in to an IP address that was essentially setup for JIRA (tried and failed before). I noted the RDT service was running, but set to manual. I changed that to automatic. I also verified that RDT was allowed (yes). I then did a port scan and found out that tcp:3389 was now indeed opened. So I then tried to get into the external GCI IP address. all went well negotiating credentials etc, but now sitting at Please Wait. I don't know if it's updating, but am loathe to cancel the login attempt.

Firebase Auth - with Email and Password - Check user already registered

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP Firebase Auth - with Email and Password - Check user already registered I want to check when a user attempts to signup with createUserWithEmailAndPassword() in Firebase user Authentication method, this user is already registered with my app. createUserWithEmailAndPassword() 8 Answers 8 To detect whether a user with that email address already exists, you can detect when the call to createUserWithEmailAndPassword () fails with auth/email-already-in-use . I see that @Srinivasan just posted an answer for this. createUserWithEmailAndPassword () auth/email-already-in-use Alternatively, you can detect that an email address is already used by calling fetchSignInMethodsForEmail() (previous called fetchProvidersForEmail() ). fetchSignInMethodsForEmail() fetchProvidersForEmail() When the user trying to create an user with same email address, the task response will be "Response: The email address is already in use by another account." mFirebas

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP Dynamically update html content plain JS So I have a script bound in my index.html, which literally has to fetch an array of jsons from an api, then dynamically update my page when get response. But as a result I'm getting an as the only update of my page. here is my script fetch(url) .then((resp) => resp.json()) .then((resp) => resp.results.forEach(item => fetch(item.url) .then((response)=> response.json()) .then((response) => pokeArr.push(response)) .catch(console.log) ) ).catch(console.log) const filler = () => if(!pokeArr) return 0 pokeArr.map((i,j)=> return `<tr>$i.name</tr>` ) const pokeindex = () => document.getElementById('a').appendChild(document.createElement(filler())) pokeindex() When I'm consoling it, I can see in the console all the responses I get, so I'm at least doing the fetching part right. What's parberakan ? What's pokeArr ? – T.J. Crowder Aug 8 at 12

How to determine optimal route across keyboard

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP How to determine optimal route across keyboard I'm trying to automate the typing process in a video game. Players are given an on-screen QWERTY keyboard layout that they can navigate with the control stick (up, down, left, right) in order to select a letter to type. I was wondering if there was a module for Python (or some other resource I could explore) that would help my program find a path across the keyboard as it types each letter in a given message. In other words, if the first letter typed was "A" and the next letter was "B", the module would know that the program should move 1 space down on the keyboard and 4 spaces to the right. Currently, I have the program resetting to the "G" key after each letter is typed (allowing me to use fixed-directions as the program parses each character in the desired message). As you can imagine, this is quite inefficient and defeats the purpose of automating the typing in the fir
