Remote Desktop Connection for Mac - connection lost after a minute idle

Hi There,
I am trying to connect from a Macbook Pro to my work (XP) machine using the latest Remote Desktop Connection for Mac.
It used to work fine, and recently it has been dropping the connection if I've not been 'active' for a minute or so.
What is confusing is that it is not always like this. Some days, I can leave it inactive for hours over lunch etc, and I'll come back and it will be fine. And just the other day, in the morning it dropped me out ever minute or so I was inactive, and then the afternoon was fine, and the evening was troublsome again.
Our administrators had not changed anything during that time, nor had I changed anything on my XP machine at work, or my Mac at home.
I connect via a wireless connection.
These problems occur when running on battery and when plugged in.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
ThreeIsles

Since RDC is not an Apple product, you should post your question on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac version of RDC:

Remote Desktop Connection for Mac to Windows - logout error

Hello
I'm trying to use Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) to get from my Mac into a MacMini running Windows XP Professional. I can log into the Windows computer, but once I put in my password and click OK, it logs out of the Windows machine. Is there some sort of sharing preference or configuration that I'm missing that's making this happen?
I want to be able to use RDC to access the Windows machine and keep everything up still on the Windows machine.
Thanks

Since RDC is not an Apple product, you'll probably want to use a forum dedicated to Microsoft's Mac products such as <http://www.microsoft.com/mac/community/community.aspx?pid=newsgroups> rather than an Apple forum
Be sure to search the forum first in case someone has already had a similar question answered.

Remote desktop connection for iphone?

I am currently using my mac and remote desktop connection to access my work desktop. Can we do the same thing with the iphone? it would be really usefull
thanks
JF

It would be a bit tough to navigate, but quite useful. I would suspect it would not be long after the SDK is released that we would see at the least VNC software.

MS Remote Desktop Connection for Mac: Capslock Key

I've started having an issue with the Mac RDP client where when I switch away from a full screen remoted windows machine to another space, then back to the windows machine, the windows machine believes the Caps Lock key is active.
I have to switch back to another space, activate the caps lock key, switch back, then deactivate in order to turn caps lock off.
This was not always the case. It started doing this a few months back, but it does it now 4 out of 5 times.
Has anyone else experienced this? Any idea how to fix?
R,
Dan

Yes, i have the same problem and it's totally annoying
I found a workaround - when the Caps Lock turns on in Windows, start your on-screen keyboard and turn it off and then close the on-screen keyboard by double clicking on the upper right corner icon (otherwise the remote desktop hangs). Hope someone finds a solution for the Caps Lock problem...

Remote Desktop Connection won't work from Leopard to Windows XP

Hi, folks:
I'm unable to connect to my work XP computer via my home iMac (Leopard 10.5.7) using Microsoft's Remote Desktop Connection for Mac. The XP settings are correct, I'm connected on my work network VPN, and I don't believe I have any router firewalls causing the problem --- the reason I know this is because I also have an MacBook running Tiger (10.4.11) and it has been connecting to my work PC without any problems. So, this must be a Leopard firewall setting?
As far as that goes, on my iMac I've got Screen Sharing, Remote Login and Internet Sharing turned on. Again, work network VPN is on.
I'm getting this error from Remote Desktop Connection:
"The Mac cannot connect to the Windows-based computer
This problem can occur if:
- The Windows-based computer is not set up to accept remote connections
- The Windows-based computer is not turned on
- The Mac, or the Windows-based computer is experiencing network problems
Try connecting to the Windows-based computer again, or contact your administrator"
Anyone know of a fix? I'd greatly appreciate it!
Thanks.

What Firewall setting do you have on your Mac? Try setting it to allow all connections. At least as an experiment.
Do you have any Proxies set in System Preferences -> Network -> Advanced -> Proxies? If yes, then is it possible that "Bypass" list is not covering the XP system.

Remote Desktop Connection MAC to MS

I work in the USA and connect to a server in Australia. I have been using a PC with a MS OS with great success. I just bought this Mac Book Pro Retina 15" and have not used a Mac before. I am not sure I can keep it if I cannot get better performance when working connected remote to the Australian server. This would be a shame because it is a fantastic machine. I have been using a free MS Remote Desktop Connection for Mac program to connect and work. Does anyone have experience working from a remote desktop connection using the Apple $79 Remote Desktop Connection program and is connecting to a MS OS server?
The main issue is speed, and the view does not fill the screen. It does not fill the screen with either view options, "Fill or Full Screen". There is about 1 1/8 on either side with the best option of "Full Screen" and 1 1/2 to the edge of the lid. The program always creates an error message as well, but it is just a cert warning.
I have some time left to decide if I can keep this Mac Book or need to go back to a PC. I really do not want to spend another $85 if the Apple program is not much better than the MS free program?
Any experience with connecting using the Apple software to a server for tasks like email in MS Outlook and data base work would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Apple Remote Desktop is intended for managing networked Macs. While it can be used to connect to a Windows system by running VNC on the Windows box, it's no better than Microsoft's RDC and is often tricky to set up. I've been using iTap Mobile RDP, available in the Mac App Store or from the company's web site, to connect to my Windows systems. iTap Mobile is much faster than either Microsoft RDC or CoRD (a freeware RDC client), in my experience, and very stable and has been well worth the money.
You can get a trial version of iTAp Mobile here and test for yourself before purchasing:

Remote Desktop Connection - Windows Network Level Authentication

Hi
I'm trying to find a piece of Remote Desktop "Manager" software for Mac which supports Network Level Authentication (NLA). When NLA is enabled on a Windows Server I am unable to connect via CoRD or Royal TSX.
The reason I say "Manager" is because I have many, many windows servers I need to connect to and so I like to use software such as the above to save a list of all the servers for ease of access - this saves me having to type in the name of the server each time.
At the moment, for those servers with NLA enabled, I have to fire up Remote Desktop Connection for Mac and enter the name. I realise I could save this each time but then I would have LOADS of shortcuts.
Any ideas/proposals on pieces of software that can cater for this?
Thanks!

Hi!
Royal TSX actually supports NLA but you have to use the FreeRDP plugin instead of CoRD and enable the setting in the advanced settings of your RDP connection.
cheers,
felix

Is there Remote Desktop Software for Lion?

I have been using RDC 2.1.1 to connect to my PC at work. However, after an Exchange server upgrade, it doesn't work anymore. I went looking for a newer version and could only find versions compatible with iOS devices, not computers. Then I looked at Apple discussions under RDC (which I cannot find now) and saw that someone recommended CoRD as not only free (RDC apparently now has a charge) but also better than RDC. I downloaded it but cannot figure out how to connect because it does not seem to have any input areas for usernames, passwords, etc. It's pretty darn bare. Can someone tell me what to do with it?
On another discussion, someone recommended Software Update to get a newer version of the RDC. But when I open RDC, there is no software update option. Unless the person meant Apple's software update, in which case it would have done that automatically during one of the regular updates.
I'm running the latest version of Lion on an iMac.

Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection for Mac shouldn't be affected by an Exchange server upgrade in any way. If RDC no longer connects to your work system, then your network adminstrators have probably made a change to your network, perhaps to a firewall, and you'll need to sort it out with them. RDC 2.1.1 works on my system, though I find it slower than other options for connecting to Windows systems. RDC 2.1.1 is the latest version available, by the way, and is still free.
If you want to try CoRD, though, information how to set it up can be found it it's Help files. You can also ask for help in the CoRD forum:
http://sourceforge.net/apps/phpbb/cord/viewforum.php?f=1
As to Software Update, I think either you or the other person was confused, and was referring to Apple Remote Desktop, a completely different product. You cannot update Microsoft software through Software Update in Mac OS X. n

Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) iMac to PC server with fixed IP

I have setup my first imac and as part of this process downloaded Remote Desktop Connection for macs so that I can log onto my server at work. Problem is when I attempt to connect to my remote pc the following message appears "Remote Desktop Connection cannot verify the identity of the computer that you want to connect to. Try connecting to the Windows-based computer, or contact our administrator"

So, what if those don't help? I've had "Always connect, even if authentication fails" selected for quite a while. It was working fine. Yesterday I installed Office 2011 (and immediately installed SP1), and now it broke my ability to connect to a Windows Server 2008 VM that definitely worked yesterday before the Office upgrade.
Anybody have a solution for this? It appears to be a bug in RDC 2.10. Thanks, Microsoft. Off to find a working RDP client for the Mac…

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.

Remote desktop connection unable to start, window stalls when opens RDC, any tips

remote desktop connection does not open, when rdc starts it stalls and can not press any button.
any ideas on how to fix?

Since this question is about a Microsoft product, you might have more luck getting suggestions if you ask in Microsoft's own forums. This forum is for Apple Remote Desktop issues and questions and so probably not the place where you'll be most likely to get assistance with this problem.
Good luck.

I have an Ipad 2 and here is what I am trying to accomplish. On my laptop I connect to a remote desktop connection to access a shared program we use for reporting. How do I set up my Ipad to access this remote server? Thanks for the help.

Close ... before going for a specific Cisco app ... lets find out some details:
Host we need more details:
What is your server environment (Windows Server, or Mac OS X Server, or Linux)?
What security is implemented in your environment - as what is restricted (RDP for all or specifc credentials on all machines? Are you part of local admin group to the server you wish to connect)?
Does your environment Support CISCO IPSec connection? If so use Settings> VPN and IPSec tab to enter VPN details, if not then go with above suggestion. IF your restricted to RSA then either built in VPN settings or 3rd party app for RSA would suffice.
Finally, there are many RDP applications out there I use "Mocha RDP Light" (free minimal ads when launched not when connecting).

Setting up Remote Desktop Apps for access from a Mac with 2FA

Hi
Setting up Remote Desktop Apps for access from a Mac with 2FA.
I have a server 2012 remote access gateway, with remote apps published(which uses single signon), behind a 2FA connection (web based) and want to know if its possible to allow macs to connect to the remote Apps behind it. i cannot permanently remove any
of the above setup as it is a requirement.
When i connect from a mac i can login to both the 2FA and remote access web pages and see all the apps but when i click on any app it downloads it to the mac and when i try to run it using Remote Desktop App for MAC i get an error :
"httpendpointexception: 4, The non-proxy http connection failed to connect with the message: 500 internal Server Error."
I have tried with 2fa turned off for testing and get the same result.Does it support 2012 TSGW server? does it support Remote desktop apps? as i cant find a definitive answer on either.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
From Error description it seems to be a communication issue between your Mac and your RD gateway server. If you connect from extranet, you may need Remote Desktop Gateway or a VPN/Direct Access connection to your intranet, or forward port 3389 on your router.
500 Internal Server Error seems to be a HTTP related error.
The HTTP status code in IIS 7.0, IIS 7.5, and IIS 8.0
Also, please double check the settings if you have a RD gateway implemented in you intranet.
http://redmondmag.com/articles/2013/12/24/rd-gateway-in-windows-server.aspx
In Windows Server 2012 R2 RD Gateway pluggable authentication is also introduced. This allows custom authentication routines to be used with RD Gateway. For example building a two-factor solution on top of RD Gateway is now possible which allows doing token-authentication
to the RD Gateway which works seamlessly with RD Web Access or RDP file launching.
Please check below article for more information.
Windows Server 2012 R2 is coming what does this add to RDS – VDI
In addition, please provide the log file from the client for further research.
Microsoft Remote Desktop -> About Microsoft Remote Desktop -> Send log via email
Hope it helps!
Thanks.
