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 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,

    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 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?

  • 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 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

    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.

  • Remote Desktop Client for MAC Broken Pipe! message

    Hi there,
    One of our clients uses Remote Desktop for MAC. One in a while he gets the message "Broken pipe!". His session has been lost.
    I could not find or reproduce the same error. It looks like a connection problem, but this specific message must mean something.
    Is there anyone who can explain this explicit error message?
    I have not seen the message myself. The only thing I know is it contains "Broken pipe!"

    Hi,
    I have never seen this error before. The only thing I know about the word “Pipe” is related to SQL Server.

  • Where to get Apple Remote Desktop Client for MAC OSX 10.6 8

    Hello, I have MAC OSX 10.6.8 and I wanted to know where to get Apple Remote Desktop that is compatible with OSX 10.6.8. The one that is showing in apple store for download will work only with the lastest MAC OS.X - Thanks all.

    Welcome,
    The Client is built into all OSX base software so there is no download. It's the Admin (controller) software that is downloaded

  • 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!

  • 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 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 - 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…
