Feature request for Mac Remote Desktop client.

Wouldn't be great to have folders or groups in the Mac Remote Desktop Client.
I am finding that I have more and more Remote Desktop saved connections and storing them in collapsible groups or folders would be great.

Hi Bill,
Thanks for your feedback, will pass this request to product group for future research and releases.
Thanks for your understanding and Support!
Regards.

RD Gateway issue from Mac Remote Desktop client - 503 RPC Error: c0021012

I have an employee who is able to use the Mac Remote Desktop client to connect to her office PC via RD Gateway, but after a short time she consistently has her connection dropped with a
503 RPC Error: c0021012. I've researched this a little and apparently it refers to an expected shutdown condition (RPC_P_CONNECTION_SHUTDOWN) rather than a true RPC "exception". Also, the error almost always occurs exactly
10 minutes after the connection is established, so I'm wondering if a timeout is occurring due to a heartbeat/keepalive not getting through, the expiration of a token or credential, or something similar(?). Any help would be appreciated, here's a section
from the log that shows one of her drops:

Hi,
Is there any error occur on the RD Gateway server? Please make sure that RPC, RPC Locator and RPC Endpoint Mapper service are running on the server. Also, please make sure that the RD gateway
server does not reach the maximum number of connections.
Thanks.

Where is the connection information stored for Mac Remote Desktop?

I want to restore Mac Remote Desktop connection information from a Time Machine backup to a new Mac. On the new Mac, I've installed Remote Desktop from the App Store and installed all the files found in
~/Library/Containers/com.microsoft.rdc.mac from
a Time Machine backup. But I don't see my old connections. I also don't see any connection information in my Time Machine backup here
~/Documents/RDC Connections.
Where is the connection information stored?

The path is correct. You could try to get an console log during application launch. This log might give you information why the information is missing.

Remote Desktop Client For Mac?

Hi! I wanted to get the remote desktop client by MS onto my iBook g4. I am running leopard, and the webpage says it is a universal application, but when I download the .DMG the Installer application comes up and tells me I need an Intel Processor. Anybody know what's going on here? And does anyone know if the 1.0.3 version will run under Leopard? If it does, would I need to download stuffit expander and Apple Disc Copy like it says, or is that built into Disk utility at this point? And would I need to download the .bin or the .hqx files? Thanks, any help will be appreciated!

How to use remote desktop client in mountain lion

How to use remote desktop client in mountain lion.
I want to connect my other system(ubuntu) using mac remote desktop client, But i could not locate remote desktop client in moutain lion.

In Ubuntu 12.xx use Dash to find "Desktop Sharing" and set the preferences, including requiring a password.
Then in Ubu use System Settings > Network to determine your Ubu machine's IP address, such as 192.168.1.13.
On the Mountain Lion Mac do Finder > Go > Connect to Server and enter: vnc://192.168.1.13 or whatever your IP is. Enter the password that you used in the Ubu Desktop Sharing setup, when asked.
On the Ubu machine answer the question that pops up asking for permission to connect. Your Ubu screen will now show up on the Mac, and you can remote control it. Here I am running "Octave" (a math program) on the Ubu machine, remotely.
Works great! BTW, you can do this from an iPad too, using a VNC client such as Mocha VNC Lite. You can even run both remotes simultaneously.
Good luck.

Remote Desktop Client Update 3.7.0

I'm using a 2012 MacBook Pro with OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.5. When I visited the Mac App Store today, there was an Apple software update available for download - Remote Desktop Client Update 3.7.0. I don't own or use Apple Remote Desktop and to my knowledge, it's not installed on my mac in any way. Has this happened to any other non-users of Apple Remote Desktop?

The Apple Remote Desktop CLIENT is part of the operating system and present on every mac. If you haven't engaged Remote Management in the System Preferences/Sharing pane, it can't be used. But it CAN be updated! Hence the message.
The ARD administrative package used to control a client is not on every mac and is something that must be purchased. But to control other computers the client software must be there, so Apple just has it as part of the OS in case you ever need it.

Downgrade Microsoft Remote Desktop Client for Mac

Is there a way to downgrade to a previous version of the microsoft remote desktop client for mac? We are experiencing issues with one of our published remote apps (regarding window focus i.e. which window of the open application is at the front of the
users screen) since upgrading to 8.0.9. This application was OK in 8.0.5. Can we revert to an older version?

We are also experiencing similar issues regarding window sizes and display settings with our remote resources, since upgrading. We are using remote desktop application for iPhone/iPad. Upon opening of our Remote App, although we have set the command-line
argument to open to full screen, we see the application resizing 3 times before it finally opens - and it does not open in full screen. Please assist.

Remote Desktop Client for Mac and SSO

Hi.
We have RDS Deployment (Windows Server 2012 R2) with RD Connection Brokers, RD Session Hosts and Web Access.
Windows clients log on without any issues, credentials must be entered only once (Single Sign On).
But Mac clients must enter their credentials twice (on CB and SH).
Does Remote Desktop Client for Mac support SSO and if it does, what special settings are required?
Mac users use Microsoft Remote Desktop 8.0.13.

Sorry, I have missed important detail. This problem appears when I open .rdp files.
Really, if I create connection and save my credentials, I will not enter credentials. But in this case I can't specify Collection
(loadbalanceinfo:s:tsv://MS Terminal Services Plugin.1.SomeCollection - parameter in .rpd file).
In my case, I open .rdp file, connect to RD Connection Broker, log in to RD CB, RD CB redirects me to RD
Session Host, I log in to RD SH (enter credential second time) and now I connect. In this chain could be a RD Gateway.
When I connect to the same farm with the same .rdp file from Windows client, I have enter credential only once (SSO works).
So my question: Does Remote
Desktop Client for Mac support SSO? I know that SSO require CredSSP, is it implemented in Client for Mac?

Configure Network Level Authentication for Remote Desktop client

We publish Remote Desktop in our Windows 2008 R2 terminal server.
However, in Windows 2008R2 , the remote desktop client will a lillte bit slow
I found out that if I modify the setting in default.rdp
authentication level:i:0
enablecredsspsupport:i:0
it will increase the speed a lot
however, how can I set all user use remote desktop will disable those feature as well?
Thanks

Hi Kenneth,
I suggest you to see similar thread "disable
Network Level Authentication Terminal Server 2008"
If above thread does not helps, seek help from RDS/TS experts in here.
Or wait until any of our moderator move this post to respective forum.
Thank you for understanding.

TS2072 Remote Desktop Client for MS Windows Server 2003

I need to be able to access my work server to obtain information form our Windows 2003 Server. We have our product prices and other information on servers and today I use the remote desktop client that comes with Windows 7. I was hoping to find a suitable solution to allow me to use my macbook pro with OSX 10.7.4 Software. Does anyone know how to use OSX to make a remote desktop connection as you would through windows 7. I've seen CoRD and Microsoft did have a version but it's for older versions of OSX. I could run W7 but then I would have to purcase another copy and VM if I decided to run it virtual.
Thanks

This is not an Apple Remote Desktop issue - ARD is Apple's software for managing networked Macs - but CoRD and Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection for Mac should both work with Windows 2003 and both work on Mac OS X 10.7; I have used both on my systems. iTap Mobile RDP is another option, and the one I use daily since I've found it to be faster than either CoRD or Microsoft RDC, though iTap is not free.
Regards.

App Store keeps asking me to download update for "Remote Desktop Client Update 3.8.2 v1.1 but I have never purchased Remote Desktop Client

Hi, the App Store keeps asking me to download the update Remote Desktop Client Update 3.8.2 v1.1 but I have never purchased Remote Desktop Client so I am unsure why it is asking me to and worry that someone is trying to spy on me! Does anyone know why this is? Thanks in advance!

I find it interesting that since Screen Sharing is available, and works "just fine" that a Remote Desktop Client would be needed to be installed.
I installed it, but I'm not sure why.
I found the updated application in /System/Library/Core Services/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent
Which is also where the screen sharing and vnc bundles live. I clicked on it to see what would happen -- nothing.
I found these ports in another discussion
TCP and UDP port 3283
TCP and UDP port 5900. (Also used for Screen Sharing in OSX 10.5 and later)
port 22
This page confirms their use along with the use of other ports:
TCP and UDP ports used by Apple software products - Apple Support
Additionally TCP port 5432 is used by ARD
Having recently noticed (through "network utility" that my computers have had a "ton" of open connections.
This severely hurt system performance.
I note that neither my Airport Express nor my Mac can set up a firewall on these ports.
While I haven't noticed the ARD ports being used, I cannot help but wonder if this is set up for a CIA/NSA backdoor into my computers.
On a less paranoid level, perhaps Apple is planning on adding on-line help to debug our problems in "real-time". ;-)

Remote desktop client for Android

Dear sir,
Does Microsoft remote desktop client for Android support RDP 7.0 with remote FX.
Using this client can I connect to Remote App publish under remote desktop service in windows server 2012.
In a client device do we need anything else, other than Android 4.0 or above and Microsoft remote desktop client for Android (free) to connect to remote desktop service under windows server 2012.
Thanks

Yes, the Remote Desktop client supports RDP 7.1 and all previous versions including: RDP 7, RDP 6.1, RDP 6, RDP 5 and RDP 4.
Note: Support for a specific version of RDP 7 does not include all virtual channels. RemoteFX codecs are not supported in RDP 7.1.

IOS Remote Desktop Client Logon Issue Prompts to Logon 3 Times with RDGW

I have an issue when connecting from the Remote Desktop client iOS on multiple iPads/users.
First a little background: We have an RDS Web Access / RDS Gateway (2012 R2) setup and properly configured. We can logon using it just fine from the Mac OS version of the app, Android version of the app, or from a Windows PC. When we try to
connect via the iOS app we get the prompt to logon 3 times. Due to security reasons, we do not want them to store their credentials on the iPads, which is the only method I have found to eliminate the triple password entry. It only prompts once on the Mac
OS version, Android version or from a Windows PC.
The password isn't being entered incorrectly and the servers are not registering any Audit Failures for the logon attempts. Can you assist?
Additionally I would like to recommend the addition of a feature to be able to setup remote resources but prompt for the password on app launch for security reasons. That way they would have to enter it once but then they could access any resources needed.
Thanks,
Nate L

It then attempts to connect to the InternalServerHostName.domain.local.

Then it displays the same settings again except for the gwAutodetectState line changing to:

Then it connects ok. I went to our firewall (MS Forefront TMG) and monitored for traffic from the iPad iOS App (based on network it is on). I don't see the initial connection attempt at all, which is expected because according to the log above it looks
like it tries to connect to the host directly...which it shouldn't?
Then in the second attempt I see it trying to go to http://ExternalRDSGatewayHostName:443/remoteDesktopGateway/ which again it shouldn't be doing because that URL (the remoteDesktopGateway) is not part of the RDSGW or RDSWA 2012 R2 IIS
config or am I missing something? It should be going to Rpc or RDWeb right? or do I need to allow that path through too?
Thanks,
Nate

Office 2013 - RemoteApp & Remote Desktop Client

When launching Office products from the Remote Desktop Client with Remote Resources / RemoteApp in OSX Mavericks. e.g. Office Word 2013 it is extremely slow and unresponsive. It opens to fill the screen but not full screen, cropping above the dock and below
the MAC toolbar. This is not apparent in Windows Surface Pro / RT / 7 / 8, Android, iPad / iPhone iOS
If I restore down the Window it seems to remove a white outer bar and then works as intended, even if I manually click and drag more or less to the same size of the maximised window. I believe this may be due to the Office 2013 shadow. In GPO I have:
- Added a registry to DisableAnimation
-Enabled 'Disable Office Animations' in the Office 2013 ADMX
-Enabled 'Do not use hardware graphics acceleration' in ADMX
