Hi Bhondush;
Thank you for your post.. There is a new updated
RDP client for Mac. This tool will also resolve the issue that a lot of people are reporting when they try to connect to Microsoft Azure VM from a Mac client.
Another workaround would be to use CoRD
which is a Mac OS X remote desktop client for Microsoft Windows computers using the RDP protocol.
First ensure you've disabled the "Allow connections only from computers running Remote Desktop with Network Level Authentication (recommended)" setting. To do that, first connect to the remote Windows Server 2012 R2 using RDC on a Windows client,
then go to Server Manager:
Go to Local Server -> Remote Desktop. Make sure the NLA setting is unchecked:
Now get CoRD from http://cord.sourceforge.net/
Add the server, making sure you've got the correct domain name for the Windows login:
Now you should be able to connect successfully to the remote Windows 2012 R2 server in the cloud.
On other versions of remote Windows servers you may also have success trying the following with the Microsoft RDC client for Mac:
Close Remote Desktop Connection for Mac
Go to: Finder -> Documents -> RDC Connections
Move the Default.rdp file to Trash
Open RDC again and connect to the server.
When the Enter your credentials window pops up, the Domain field is populated with the DNS name of the host, which isn't necessarily the correct domain name. Try the correct domain name or try clearing this field.
Just supply the correct username and password. Click OK.
Warm Regards;
