Microsoft Remote Desktop - Works on 10.4 but not on 10.5

I know that this is an OS 10.5 forum but the Mactopia website is useless and the forum there is non-responsive. Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on why I'm able to connect to my office XP machine using 10.4 on an old powerbook over a wireless network but not able to connect using 10.5 on a newer iMac on the same network.
Thoughts are appreciated.

I've used Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection Mac OS X Client
<http://www.microsoft.com/mac/products/remote-desktop/default.mspx>
And I've used CoRD (Microsoft RDC Screen Sharing)
<http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/30808>
successfully on 10.4, 10.5, and 10.6.
Are they the same version? And is that the latest version from Microsoft?
I assume all other networking stuff is working OK.
Have you tried the XP system's IP address, just in case it is a naming issue?
Does RDC connect at all?
Do you get the chance to login?
How far do you get and what kind of error/failure do you see?

  • Cut/Paste not working in Microsoft Remote Desktop for Mac

    Sirs,
    I am using Microsoft Remote Desktop V8.05 build 24428 on a Mac under the latest Mavericks OS, and I find that Cut and Paste are not working. When I paste on Remote Desktop Windows always pastes the last thing cut/copied under the Windows remote session,
    rather than whatever I just cut/copied in another Mac window.
    I am well  aware that the keystrokes are different, and I tried to follow the instructions on another question which indicated that I should select the console session  checkbox on Remote Desktop's 'Connection' configuration window. However Remote
    Desktop no longer seems to have that option ... the topmost line now shows 'Admin Console' and checking it did not help with cut/paste.
    I hope you can tell me how to get this working as cut/paste is a great convenience.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Clipboard redirection is not supported in current versions of Microsoft Remote Desktop. However, I will help to submit this as customer wish to the product team.
    Thanks for your understanding.

  • Error 500 from Microsoft Remote Desktop for Mac and for iOS but not for Windows

    I am running Windows Server Standard 2012 as a basic File server and Remote Access Server.  I am able to log into to Server remotely using Windows Remote Desktop Client on Windows 7 and 8 machines without problems
    When I try to log in using outside the local network using MRD version 8.0.24308 using OS X 10.9.1 or using iOS 7.0.4, I get the following error:
    " The gateway failed to connect with the message: 500 Internal Server Error"
    I can also log in remotely WITHIN the local network on a Mac or iOS device, it works without getting an error
    Any Ideas?

    My IT person has tried all these and I still get a 500 error when I log in from Microsoft Remote Desktop 8.5.  
    Here is part of the MRD log dump (not clear where to send the log since MRD doesn't provide an address when you dump the log into email):

  • OS X Microsoft Remote Desktop - Remapping shortcut CMD+W doesn't work as intended

    Seeing the follwing issue in Microsoft Remote Desktop on OS X:
    Changing shortcut for Close (window) CMD+W for the application in OS X System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts doesn't disable the original CMD+W shortcut as is expected. After changing, CMD+W is still closing windows.
    This is working as expected for changing Quit Microsoft Remote Desktop from CMD+Q to other shortcut, where CMD+Q is not quitting the application after the change has been made. 
    This is unfortunate, as my "instinct" to quit applications on remote desktop when working from my Mac is to use CMD+W. This instead closes the remote desktop connection.

  • Can't connect to windows 7 machine using microsoft remote desktop connection

    I am unable to connect from my home network to the Windows 7 Professional machine at my office, using either Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection (2.1.1) for Mac or the open source CoRD program.
    When connected to the office network (which is running MS Small Business Server 2011 Standard) both CoRD and MS RDC will connect to my desktop machine just fine! (My MacBook Pro runs Mountain Lion.)
    From my home network, MS RDC will complain that it cannot find the Windows computer if I just use the Windows computer name. If I use the Windows machine's iPV4 address, it works on it for a minute and then tosses up this error message:
    Using the IP address of the Windows machine, CoRD just grinds away for a minute or so and then times out.
    I should add that using Internet Exporer under Parallels from home, I can get a little closer to success (after fidding around with ActiveX controls for a bit). I will get to the Windows login screen, but then I am told that my user password is wrong (which makes no sense at all)!
    Okay, geniuses, have at it, and thanks in advance!!

  • Microsoft Remote Desktop app ios7 to Windows 8.1 Pro

    For anyone using an iPad to remote desktop to your Windows 8.1 pro 64 bit computer, I recently posted the following distress call in the Microsoft Community Windows - Windows 8.1 - Other Windows apps by Microsoft - Other.
    A Microsoft Support Engineer there suggested I post it here instead. The 1st part is the distress part, the 2nd part is how I finally solved it and then a different problem started ...
    Part 1
    Help, I'm going crazy trying to get this Microsoft Remote Desktop app on ios7 to connect to my computer running Windows 8.1.
    I've added my computer name, user name and password, but even though it starts to connect it never does and gives me an error message saying:
    Timeout while resolving hostname
    I've set up my computer to allow remote connections and allow connections only from computers running blah, blah, blah.
    What am I doing wrong?
    In the past I was able to use logmein free without any problems until they stopped the free version. I can also get through using Team Viewer, so why won't the RD Client app work?
    Part 2
    Doesn't matter now as I ended up working out that it didn't work with my computer name. What I had to do is go to cmd and type ipconfig to find
    the right ip address and insert it where it asked for computer name and it worked! Of course, then it kept disconnecting, so I've totally abandoned it and will use Team Viewer instead (until I'm willing to try again). 
    So that's where I'm up to.
    I didn't find anything useful in this TechNet article: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn473013.aspx
    So any suggestions on how to make Microsoft's RD Client app on ios work without disconnecting all the time?

    Hi,
    For this issue,as Milos said,using the host name requires your network to resolve the host name properly through DNS.
    So this issue is related to DNS.In many home network configurations only the IP address will work properly.
    Regarding DNS,I suggest you check the configuration on the ipad.
    Regarding how to add host name to IOS,I suggest you contact apple support for help.
    Regards,

  • Using Microsoft Remote Desktop on MacBook Air using OS Yosemite 10.10.2

    Hi,
    I have recently acquired a MacBook and have been trying to use Microsoft Remote Desktop software to open a cloud based server called Universal anywhere. 
    It has been working fine but now keeps crashing at various points, like when I type in the server name, it opens up using MRD, I enter my username and password and it comes up saying 'Microsoft Remote Desktop closed unexpectedly'. It will sometimes let me
    go a bit further and get into the actual cloud based system I am trying to use, but always crashes eventually at some point after I have input software.

    Hi,
    I cannot confirm if it is supported for Remote Desktop Client to remote to the third party cloud server. Also RDC is keeping updating since released, you can also check if a newer version is available and if it will get this back to work.
    In the meantime you can also test to use a Windows system to Remote to that server incase the issue occurs on server side.

  • Sun VDI 3.1-EA: "Microsoft Remote Desktop" Provider -- Bug?

    It seems there is a bug in VDI 3.1:
    After having added a VirtualBox desktop provider I also wanted to add a Windows 2003 terminal server as desktop provider, so I go ...
    - https://localhost:1801
    - Desktop Providers
    - Windows Remote Desktop
    - New ...
    - Step 1 ... Next
    - Specify New Host
    ... And now it asks me for this information:
    Host:
    SSL Port: 443
    User Name:
    Password:
    SSL Port? For a Windows 2003 server?
    I am confused ... So I want to check the "Help" tab. The "Help" tab links to this URL:
    https://localhost:1801/vda/faces/jsp/providers/tswizard/NewTSProviderWizard.jsp#
    So guessing from that URL ( ... "NewTSProviderWizard" ...) I'd expect to find information regarding Windows TS servers?
    But the help text reads ".... Enter the hostname or IP address, and administrator credentials for the *+VirtualBox+* host server ... "
    VirtualBox? I wanted to get help with Windows 2003 TS.
    So I'd assume that this is a bug?
    - the "Add Microsoft Remote Desktop" wizard will get you the one for VirtualBox
    - Help text is talking about VirtualBox too
    I assume that this will be fixed before the final release?
    Regards,
    DJ.

    What specifically does your customer object to ?The server being +"touched"+. That's already enough for them. I'm ashamed to admit this ... but I too was a Windows admin once. I was young, stupid and I needed the money. ;-)
    So having been a Windows admin once myself ages ago in my dark past I can fully understand them. One stupid patch, one stupid incompatible product, one silly addon someone somewhere wrote ... and that server dies in a nice ugly "Bluescreen of Death". Or so they think. Because a typical Windows admin spends 90% of their daily job running from one dying Windows server to another dying Windows server the last thing they want is yet another server that is bound to die because one of us unworthy Penguin worshippers dared to install something on it ....
    So NOT having to install anything on that server like with SSGD is perceived as being OK.
    Having to install ANYTHING on that server for which the admin doesn't understand the reasons within 1 second simply is a NO GO for them.
    +"Why doy ou want to install this BS? My RDP connections work tip top without that thing you want to install ... take your hands off my server ... "+
    So ... How do I explain to a very very stressed and hyper-nervous Windows server administrator that I need to install some SSL stuff on his precious Windows 2003 or Windows 2008 installation when SSGD (also from Sun last time I checked ...) didn't need that? And none of his other RDP applications need that?
    How do you explain something like that? YOU CAN'T. The discussion is over even before it can begin. And if their Windows administrators are screaming like mad and panicking that you are about to hose their precious Windows systems then soon enough even their managers (who up to that second were on your side) demand an explanation ... "Why does VDI require that when SSGD didn't require that??"
    In the end it's easier for me to configure an Windows RDP application via SSGD and deliver it that way to the VDI sessions than argue with the customer and their nervous admins about why in the world I now have to touch their servers with this stuff ...
    See what I mean? Yes, I know: I exagerated slightly. Just to give you a feeling of the troubles us people in the frontlines are facing.
    SERIOUSLY:* The RDP-Provider in VDI 3.1 is in need of being re-evaluated and re-designed. Like it or not: But it simply is not going to fly the way it is now. Most Windows admins simply don't want any additional stuff installed on their servers. PERIOD. Because only the Gods know what other things such stuff will break one day ...
    So the RDP provider in VDI 3.1 should look and feel and act exactly like the one in SSGD. If you want to offer RDP-over-SSL: fine, offer it as an option for the lucky few who don't have to argue with their customer about that.
    RIght now it's easier for me to create a Linux VM that auto-boots into a pre-configured "rdesktop" session and then deliver that as a login option to users than to argue with the Windows admins why their precious servers need to be touched ... So yes, I'd say this part of the Sun VDI 3.1 product is in need of a re-design.

  • Copy all of "My Desktops" to another Mac with Microsoft Remote Desktop v8.0.9

    I have almost 1,000 entry under  "My Desktops" in Microsoft Remote Desktop v8.0.9 and I'm looking for a quick way to transfer all of them to another Mac.
    I thought I could just copy the .plist file at:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.microsoft.rdc.mac/Data/Library/Preferences/com.microsoft.rdc.mac.plist
    to my new computer and I'd be good to go but that's not working.
    I also found the
    ~/Library/Containers/com.microsoft.rdc.mac/Data/Library/Application Support/Microsoft Remote Desktop
    folder and copied that as well (tho the folders here look to be empty, I see the folder names match entries in the .plist). Yet, "My Desktops" is empty.
    I also noticed when I copy the .plist over to the new laptop it's 946 KB in size. I run the RDP client on the new computer and the .plist file size drops down to 10 KB in size.
    I really do not want to export all 1,000 entries and copy those files over to the new computer. I've found that the exported files when run require you to enter the username/password verse automatically getting it from (I assume) the keychain.
    Is there anyway to copy all my RDP hosts from 1 Mac to another Mac?
    Thanks.

    Figured this issue out. 
    Make sure Microsoft Remote Desktop is not running.
    Copy the plist file from the old computer:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.microsoft.rdc.mac/Data/Library/Preferences/com.microsoft.rdc.mac.plist
    to the same location on the new computer.
    Copy the folder from the old computer:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.microsoft.rdc.mac/Data/Library/Application Support/Microsoft Remote Desktop
    to the same location on the new computer.
    $ sudo killall cfprefsd
    This killall is the key. Looks like preferences are cached.
    I used this URL for help to figure that out.

  • Sharing a Printer With Microsoft Remote Desktop

    How do you set it up?
    The printer (Epson Stylus Photo 820) is connected through USB to an Intel iMac.
    I control a Windows XP Pro PC from the iMac through firewire with Microsoft Remote Desktop and it works fine (although I can't get it to share the internet connection.) I have turned printer-sharing "On" in the iMac Preferences. I have also checked "Printers" in the "Connect automatically to these local devices when logged on to the remote computer" dialog box of MS RDC.
    When I go to Add Printer in Windows, I search for a printer and get a tree view with "Microsoft Windows Network" on top and "WORKGROUP" under it. I try to input the printer name, but it tells me it can't find such a printer.
    If I go to the Epson control panel under Windows, and click on ports, it shows the name of the iMac on four separate ports, and if I activate one of them it shows the Stylus 820.
    But then it doesn't print.
    Any ideas?

    same problem here. cannot print a document from the remote desktop computer (microsoft) to my local printer connected to an intel mac .please can anybody help I have a offcejet HP g55

  • ARD redraw speed compared to microsoft remote desktop

    i use the microsoft remote desktop to control windows boxes at home and work. i also use ARD to control mac nodes from another mac.
    in comparison the ARD system is a SLUG. MS's application has far better performance. keep in mind i do realize that the display quality on the mac you are choosing to control can be reduced to allow better refresh but there is a huge discrepancy between the two products.
    my question is - do you all notice this as well or do i have something configured wrong. any one doing and experiencing the same thing as me?

    Hi
    There does seem to be performance differences between one VNC package and another. Strictly speaking it should not make any difference. What I have noticed is ARD runs more smoothly when internal DNS services are configured, however I am not an expert.
    'Chicken of the VNC' seems to work smoother/faster (when it does not crash!) than ARD does, but again you dont get what is available in ARD. So far I cant get Chicken of the VNC to work at all on an Intel Mac.
    There are alternatives to ARD:
    http://www.pure-mac.com/remote.html
    and
    http://www.redstonesoftware.com/products/vine/server/vineosx/index.html
    and also
    http://swik.net/VNC+osx
    This link explains things quite well though as well as offereing an OpenSource server and client package for download which you build yourself:
    http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/research/dtg/attarchive/vnc/start.html
    Some of the contributors to these forums have mentioned Vine. Apart from 'Chicken' and OSXvnc I dont recall mention of anything else.

  • Opening a port on Airport in order to use microsoft remote desktop

    I have Microsoft Remote Desktop connection installed on my MacBook and I am able to connect to my company's VPN and use the remote desktop when I am using another wireless network but I am not able to connect at home using my Airport extreme. When I try to connect from home I receive the following warning: "You were disconnected from the Windows-based computer because of network problems. Verify that your network and Internet connections are working, and then try reconnecting to the Windows-based computer." I know all my settings for the VPN and Remote Desktop are correct because I can log on elsewhere. Someone mentioned that I may need to open/forward a port on my router in order for it to work. Does anyone have any information or know where I could find information that would be helpful??
    Thanks,
    Erin

    This is from Apple documentation regarding their version of port forwarding.
    AirPort Extreme uses Network Address Translation (NAT) to share a single IP address with the computers that join the AirPort Extreme network. To provide Internet access to several computers with one IP address, NAT assigns private IP addresses to each computer on the AirPort Extreme network, and then matches these addresses with port numbers. The wireless device creates a port-to-private IP address table entry when a computer on your AirPort (private) network sends a request for information to the Internet.
    If you are using a web, AppleShare, or FTP server on your AirPort Extreme network, other computers initiate communication with your server. Because the Apple wireless device has no table entries for these requests, it has no way of directing the information to the appropriate computer on your AirPort network.
    To ensure that requests are properly routed to your web, AppleShare, or FTP server, you need to establish a permanent IP address for your server and provide inbound port mapping information to your Apple wireless device.
    To set up inbound port mapping:
    1. Open AirPort Utility, select your wireless device, and then choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click the device icon to open its configuration in a separate window. Enter the password if necessary.
    2. Click the Advanced button, and then click Port Mapping.
    3. Click the Add button and choose a service, such as Personal File Sharing, from the Service pop-up menu.
    Type any additional information you need in the text fields.
    To use port mapping, you must configure TCP/IP manually on the computer that is
    running the web, AppleShare, or FTP server. You can also set up a computer as a default host to establish a permanent IP address for the computer and provide inbound port mapping information to the AirPort Extreme Base Station or AirPort Express. This is sometimes known as a DMZ and is useful when playing some network games or videoconferencing.
    To set up a default host:
    1. Open AirPort Utility, select your wireless device, and then choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click the device icon to open its configuration in a separate window. Enter the password if necessary.
    2. Click the Internet button, and then click NAT.
    3. Select the “Enable Default Host at” checkbox. The default IP address is 10.0.1.253.
    4. Enter the same IP address on the host computer.
    3389 is the port needed for Windows Remote Desktop.

  • Rdp://full%20address=s: IP or DNS Name is not user friendly... Can rdp:// IP or DNS Name be assumed as the full address in Microsoft Remote Desktop?

    We would like to request Microsoft Remote Desktop (MRD) to behave the same as the open source CoRD.app on OS X with respect URL resolution.
    Example:MRD will resolve from Terminal rdp://full%20address=s:<IP or DNS Name>, but not rdp://<IP or DNS Name>
    As the OS will respect any of the following protocols in Terminal or browser:
    afp://<username>@<IP or DNS Name>
    cifs://<username>@<IP or DNS Name>
    ftp://<username>@<IP or DNS Name>
    ftps://<username>@<IP or DNS Name>
    http://<username>@<IP or DNS Name>
    https://<username>@<IP or DNS Name>
    smb://<username>@<IP or DNS Name>
    ssh://<username>@<IP or DNS Name>
    vnc://<username>@<IP or DNS Name>
    (<username> can be omitted to force authentication at connection)  it seems slightly redundant to force "full%20address=s:" in the URL.
    Can Version 8.0.1.6 be modified address this request?
    What is the proper way to report an enhancement request or bug?
    Thank you for your consideration.

    Hi,
    From your description it appears that you want to modify the pattern for assigning the rdp full address but this doesn’t support as per your requirement. That is the default string which we need to have for passing full address. 
    Hope it helps!
    Thanks.
