Remote Desktop is not able to connect to the remote computer
BEHAVIOR: Remote Desktop is not able to connect to the remote computer.
SOLUTION: this issue can be solved by making sure that the HEIMDAL Remote Desktop IP Addresses are whitelisted (195.201.56.244 / 91.217.255.149 / heimdalrd.islonline.net / *.islonline.net). If these IP Addresses are already whitelisted, the next thing would be to go on the remote computer and uninstall the Heimdal RD Agent/Client. Once it is uninstalled, open the HEIMDAL Agent and click the Sync button to force the reinstallation of the Heimdal RD Agent/Client.

BEHAVIOR: Unable to connect to an endpoint from the HEIMDAL Dashboard (Connect icon is greyed-out).
SOLUTION: make sure the remote computer is applying a Group Policy where the Remote Desktop product/service is enabled.
The next step would be to go on the remote computer and see if the Heimdal RD Agent/Client is installed on the computer. If it is installed please uninstall it. Once it is uninstalled, open the HEIMDAL Agent and click the Sync button to force the reinstallation of the Heimdal RD Agent/Client. Refresh the HEIMDAL Dashboard and check the Remote Desktop view to see if the Connect button is now enabled.
