Microsoft on a Mac Remote Desktop

I have a user who wants to use a desktop app remotely in distance back to his PC Windows7 of his Macbook pro.  I could download and install Microsoft remote desktop 8.0.9 from the Apple app store, but I am unable to connect to the computer, it keeps on indicating that the RDP client impossible to connect and to verify that the name of the PC is correct or enter the IP address.   I greeted the remote to the PC on the side user PC Windows7.  The Macbook pro is running OSX Mavericks 10.9.4.  I was wondering if there are any known issues with this version of RDP works perhaps only not with the OS X version?  I got lucky in the past be able remotely on Windows PC from a MAC using the RDP Windows client, but a hard time working on my version.  Maybe I should try a 3rd party RDP client?

Rob

There is a much easier way.  There is a 3rd party called team app Viewer that is used by millions of pro.  I use it about 6 hours a day and it's free, bullet proof and easy to use.

You can download the windows, mac, iPad, i {hone and Android versions here}

  • With multi-monitor Windows 7 Remote Desktop

    I tried to remote desktop from my Windows 7 RC machine at home for my full desktop Windows Vista Edition machine with the multiscreen option, but even if I have 2 monitors works very well on both sites I can't make it work with this new feature with remote desktop. Do I need a different operating system at server end?

    Thank you very much
    Richard.

    Hello Baker,

    Thank you for using the Microsoft Answers forum.  Remote Desktop connection supports screens high resolution that can be split over multiple monitors. However, the total resolution across all monitors must be less than 4096 x 2048 pixels. Monitors must have the same resolution. In addition, monitors must be aligned side-by-side.

    Order for the Office of the remote computer span multiple monitors, type Mstsc/span at a command prompt.

    Hi Berhanu,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    Remote Desktop connection is a technology that allows you to sit in front of a computer (sometimes called the client computer) and connect to a remote computer (called the host computer) in a different location. For example, you can connect your computer to work from your home computer and have access to all of your programs, files, and network resources as if you were in front of your computer at work. You can leave programs running at work and then, when you get back, you can see the desktop of your computer work displayed on your computer at home, with the same programs running.

    I would refer to the article below for more helpful information and Setup.

  • I am unable to remote desktop to connect to my laptop

    First of all, I looked through all the troubleshooting options on the microsoft page for troubleshooting remote desktop connection. None of these options worked for me. Even turning the firewall for my laptop worked. My laptop can remote access my office perfectly find it's just the reverse does not work.
    I think the problem is that I can't put my laptop to allow connections. My laptop home premium windows 7 don't have any remote desktop options in the "remote" of System Properties tab. I'm trying to access remotely to this laptop, but I am unable to probably for that reason. When I go to the Remote tab in system properties, all I see is a box for remote assistance and nothing on it as on my desktop, where it shows remote access options.
    Is there any solution for this?

    You have read obviously not what I wrote.

    I actually did, but obviously, you thought that the respondents have the x-ray vision. "You wrote" ""first of all, I looked through all the troubleshooting options on the microsoft page troubleshooting remote desktop connection ' , but then you did not designate one page you may have consulted.

    As long as illustrative, I would say that you did not know that Windows 7 Home Premium machines cannot be the target of a remote desktop session. You need at least the professional version.

  • Microsoft Remote Desktop Security?

    No, they can't, you're safe.  Remote Desktop is practically mapping those to you for your own convenience during your remote session.  And if you do not need them, you can even turn them off in remote desktop options before connect you.

    It's Windows 7, but the mac client is very similar.  Looking for an option like this:

  • Microsoft Mouse and keyboard Center 2.3.188.0 is not Exchange buttons of the mouse correctly with Windows Remote Desktop

    I use Microsoft Mouse and keyboard Center for years with no problems. For example, version 2.2.173.0 worked well. I use Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.

    I swapped the buttons on my Comfort Optical Mouse 3000 (so that the right button's "click" and the left button displays a context menu, for example). When I connect to a remote computer, traded buttons continue to operate as programmed.

    Just set Windows Update to update my mouse and keyboard Center to the 2.3.188.0 version. Now when I use the Windows Remote Desktop to connect to another computer that is running Windows 7 Professional 64 bit, my button is not honored. In other words, on the local computer, the right button of the mouse is 'click '. On the remote computer, the left mouse button is 'click '. The keys are reversed on the local computer, as I have it configured, but not on the remote computer.

    I called Microsoft and was transferred to various departments. I would like to report this bug, although I have to pay out of pocket, but there seems to be no way to report this bug.

    Is there a way to report this bug to Microsoft? Is there a solution? How can I revert to a previous version of Microsoft Mouse and keyboard Center?

    I suggest to perform a restore of the system to a restore point before the update.

    You can also uninstall the keyboard and the mouse Center programs and features.

    Then, go to this site and download the previous version.

    (I couldn't find any previous version on Microsoft sites, but I checked the file hash values, I downloaded Microsoft previously).

    Does anyone know settings ethernet preferred between Mac OS and virtual machine that would allow this?  Or does anyone know any success with this?  Thanks for the help and let me know if more information on my part would be beneficial.

  • login screen Remote desktop showing on mac client connection

    Hello

    is there a way to prevent the display of the login screen, when connecting to a Remote Desktop client workstation? The connection is already arranged with a login, so now I need to identify 'twice'. First time with AutoConnect when you click on a workstation in Remote desktop and second manually when the other customer's screen opens. This was not in Yosemite, but appeared first in El Capitan and it's kind of annoying.

    I use the old worgroupmanager to control the use of USB devices. It interacts with the login screen, too?

    Is there a way I can avoid this login screen?

    I have a machine that is the Mountain Lion, without Workgroupmanger, and this is the normal behavior without any login screen.

    In fact, it was the Workgroup Manager. You need to disable the connection to local users only, which is enabled by default.
