How to setup the MSTSC (remote desktop client) NOT to remember last server/wks IP info..

Just similar to setup the Local/Group policy 'Don't remember last login information'
Please advise
Thanks in advance ...

Hi,
The default server and the server lists are written by design in Windows, which is located in registry at:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Terminal Server Client\Default
You can delete them manually but this effect won’t persist after next remote desktop logon. The key will be recreated and save your choices of remote servers. Therefore, I’m afraid there is no policy or method to disable this feature. A possible workaround
is to save an empty .RDP file and deploy it to all the client sides, then let all the users use this one in order to avoid remote server being saved.
For more information on this behavior, please refer to:

Remote Desktops always remembers “last server accessed”

Thanks

do you know the exact verion of the remote desktop client update? Have you tried downloading the update manually from the apple website?
Have you tried a safeboot and then installing the update?

I cannot connect to Windows 7 professional from the IOS Remote Desktop client

The error message is <o:p></o:p>

However I make connection with the I Pad connected
to the same network as the PC (but on a different network segment) the, connection is successful. I only get the above error when I try and make a connection to my PC with a public IP address.

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.

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.

HT201332 where do i find my Apple Remote Desktop client

I have the Apple Remote Desktop client installed on my Mac but cant find the application anywhere.? Where do i find it to start using. Thanks

Like varjak paw said, the client is only part of the ARD solution. By enable the client on your computer, you can connect to it from another mac on your local network using Apple Remote Desktop.
If your looking for a free altertive you could try VNC. The limitation of ARD and VNC is that without configuring your firewall you won't be able to connect to your mac from over the internet.
If you want an easy way to connect to your mac from over the internet I would suggest checking our logmein.

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.

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". ;-)

HT201068 In the Ap Store "Updates" window, it says that "Remote Desktop Client Update" was installed today. I never intentionally installed "Remote Desktop". How did it get there, Where is it on my computer, and How can I remove it? Thank You!

I don't know if you have been there, but a very suspicious icon! (Like this one on a NSA satellite: http://b-i.forbesimg.com/kashmirhill/files/2013/12/Satellite-logo-for-spying.jpg) Yikes!
Are they after the French too?!? I thought we were allies?!? Wait a minute . . . I'm an American citizen with the Constitutional Right (which they vowed to uphold when they took their job!) of privacy!!!
What do you think of all this?
How did you find it in the OS?
Do I just trash it with "Secure Empty"?

How to find the Remote Desktop Client Version?

How to find the Remote Desktop Client Version in Lion? I'm asking because in starting up a mid 2011 MacBook Air, I ran Software Update, which determined that Remote Desktop Client version 3.5.1 was available. I wanted to find what the existing version (older than 3.5.1) that came with Lion was, but coudn't find it.
Thanks.

Get Info on:
/System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent
or if you have Apple Remote Desktop on an administrator system, you can see the workstation client versions by control-clicking in the header in the computer list and selecting to show the ARD version column.
Regards.

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.

I am having trouble installing and using remote desktop client and admin on the same imac. I need help?

Can you give me a step by step on getting the client and the admin part of remote desktop to work? I am new to this and I need for remote desktop to work to install the Faronics Deepfreeze enterprise console on the new imac in office. The OSx version is 10.8.3 Any help will be greatly appreciated. Also, when I go to install the admin, it says that the remote desktop client is not updated and I cant get mac app store to show any updates. May be doing something wrong.

This is what I usualy do to setup ARDclient on a client computer.
on the client computer
go to menu bar (white bar at top of the screen)
click on the apple menu
chose system preferences
click show all button
click Users & Groups
click the lock to unlock
click + to create a new account
chose new account: type "administrator"
name the user some thing applicable like "ARDuser"
set a secure password
click create account
click show all button
click sharing
set the computer name to some thing descritpive that identifies the computer
check remote login
click on remote login
set allow access for: "only these users"
click the +
chose the ARDuser from the list
click select
check remote management
click on remote management
set allow access to "only these users"
click the +
select the ARDuser from the list
click select
check: observe, control, genereate reports, open & quite applications, delete and replace items, start text chat or send messages, restart & shutdown, copy items
click ok
click the lock to lock system preferences
click show all
quite system preferences
At this point you should be able to connect to the client using Apple Remote Desktop using the ARDuser setup above. Make sure the client and the ARD computer are on the same network the same way. IE both on ethernet or both on wifi. On the same internet conenction, if your were trying to conenct to a client over the internet there is more involved.
on the ard computer:
open apple remote desktop
from the left column select discover
make sure the list is set to bonjour
the client computer should show up on the list, with the name set above
select the client from the list
click control
you will be prompted for the user/pass to log into the computer. that's the ARDuser setup in the steps above.

If I were to purchase the Apple Remote Desktop with Unlimited licenses, would I be able to install the client software on each of there computers/laptops and have them remote desktop into the server?

I have several friends and family who are looking for a central place to access information from ( Pictures, home movies etc ). So I am considering setting up an OSX Lion Server. There are some other things I can use it for as well.
Here is my question:
If I were to purchase the Apple Remote Desktop with Unlimited licenses, would I be able to install the client software on each of there computers/laptops and have them remote desktop into the server? Or would I have to install the Admin software on each? Do they intend it to be used strictly as one admin to access many clients?
I always could set up a network drive so they can log in and just see the folders they have created with space on the server I provide them. But I want them to be able to log an and actually use it as a Remote Desktop.
Thanks,
Eric

Dave,
Thanks for the feedback. I understand that ARD is meant for Remote Administration, but I was not sure if it could be used for my purpose as well. The reason I was looking to do it this was was because I read several articles online about security and performance issues with setting up VNC and activating screen sharing. Unless I am misunderstood.
As far as people's activities on the server, mostly it is going to be used as a place for them to store their media. I will only allow own person ( Who I trust and I know wont botch the server ), to run applications. Everyone else will be restricted to uploading and downloading content to their designated account on the server as well as a community share on the server.
I appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Eric
