Problem connect to my office PC with Microsoft Remote Desktop from my MAC OSX 10.9.1

When I try to connect, I get the following message "Java (TM) is required to display some items on this page"  and then a prompt to install Java, which I did already, and verified that it is running on my machine.  I have downloaded Chrome
vs Safari for use since Safari is not compatible with Java version.  HELP!!

Hi,
As far as I know, Java is not required for the Microsoft Remote Desktop client for Mac.
Please make sure that you download and install this App for the link below.

  • 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!!

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Can't connect remote PC with Microsoft Remote Desktop for Mac after using a new router

    I'm using a Windows 8.1 computer as a HTPC to download files and I set it logins automatically and I just need to press the power button then use RD for Mac to control the HTPC without extra monitor, keyboard...
    Here is the problem: After I took my Mac and HTPC to another place, I can't connect it with new router now. (I change the PC name to new local IP, nothing else changed)
    It shows on screen that:
    Unable to connect to remote PC. Please verify Remote Desktop is enabled, the remote PC is turned on and available on the network, and then try again.
    I can use shared disk drive of the HTPC on my Mac so I know the connection works.
    Thanks!

  • Is it possible to connect to a Windows computer with Apple Remote Desktop?

    Hey!
    I just bought Apple's Remote Desktop program and I love it!
    The only problem I have is that I can't just conncect to a Windows computer.
    I need to do this!!
    I saw in a screenshot in the Mac App Store that the Apple Employey had connected to a Windows computer so I thought it would work just fine.
    Thanks!

    Should be, though I have no personal experience using it. VNC seems to be touchy with ARD, so if Vine doesn't work, you might want to try another version. Or just use Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection Client for Mac or a service such as LogMeIn; those would give you the same capabilities and probably be less fuss and bother.

  • Issues with Microsoft Remote Desktop: inconsistent directory redirection

    Hi,
    I recently upgraded from OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion) to Yosemite. I have issues redirecting directories from my MacBook Pro to the target Windows host. The odd thing is, redirection works for some directories and not for others.
    I am running Microsoft Remote Desktop 8.0.13. The version of Yosemite is 10.10.1 (14B25)
    The directories I am trying to redirect are (in the order configured in MS RD):
    /Users/Shared/Projects-Office/PRO-2014-07-ABC_Aabcd_Aabcde-Aabcdefghi          [Replaced the characters in the last directory for security purposes]
    /scratch/xchange-buffer
    /Volumes/MyPassportStudio/Files-MPS/PRO-ABC
    Redirection works for #2 bot not for the others. This is the list of configuration items I have done:
    All three directories have been shared identically using System Properties
    File permissions for directory # 1 and its parent directories are:
      Start directory: /Users/Shared/Projects-Office/PRO-2014-07-ABC_Aabcd_Aabcde-Aabcdefghi
    drwxrwsr-x 24 me  shared  816 Jan 12 12:27 /Users/Shared/Projects-Office/PRO-2014-07-ABC_Aabcd_Aabcde-Aabcdefghi
    drwxrwxr-x 23 metoo  shared  782 Sep  9  2014 /Users/Shared/Projects-Office

    drwxr-xr-x  10 root  admin  340 Dec 15 12:08 /Users
    File permissions for directory #2 and its parent directories are:
      Start directory: /scratch/xchange-buffer
    drwx---r-x  74 me  shared  2516 Jan 12 12:26 /scratch/xchange-buffer
    drwxr-sr-x  15 me  wheel  510 Jun 27  2014 /scratch
    File permissions for directory # 3 and its parent directories are:
      Start directory: /Volumes/MyPassportStudio/Files-MPS/PRO-RSI
    drwxr-xr-x@ 7 me  staff  238 Feb 19 15:42 /Volumes/MyPassportStudio/Files-MPS/PRO-RSI

    drwxrwxrwt@ 6 root  admin  204 Mar 17 21:09 /Volumes
    MS Remote Desktop runs with ID me
    When attempting to access directory # 1 through RDP/Windows host, the following is shown in the system.log file (/var/log)
    Mar 18 14:18:26 My-Host.local sandboxd[223] ([5154]): Microsoft Remote(5154) deny file-read-data /Users/Shared/Projects-Office/PRO-2014-07-ABC_Aabcd_Aabcde-Aabcdefghi
    Any ideas as to why this behavior? Can sandboxd be configured to allow access to RDP to read specified directories?
    Thank you.

  • 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.

  • Black spots with RemoteApps using the Microsoft Remote Desktop on a mac

    Hi, I'm dealing with a very strange problem with black spots while using a remoteapp. See the picture for the black spots. It's only happening when I use the MS Remote Desktop App on a mac (version 8.0.12, latest version of the appstore).
    The RDS enviroment that we're using is Server 2012 R2 based with all the RD roles installed on several servers. Has someone any idea where to look? I've tried several things, LAN experience on the RD Web access disabled, new user without roaming profile,
    nothing works. Sorry for the big picture...

  • Print Screen using new Microsoft Remote Desktop app on Mac

    I am trying to figure out how to do a screen capture of a window using the new Microsoft Remote Destkop app on my MacBook Pro.  I don't have a numeric keypad so the Ctrl+Alt+Minus on the keypad does not work.  On the older remote desktop
    client there were preferences to remap this but I cannot figure it out on the new app.  And the snipping tool is great if connected to an OS that has it.  Otherwise it does not help.
    Thanks!
    Richard

    Hi,
    Please check if you have the PrtScn key on your keyboard. If so, you can use this key to capture a full screen screenshot and paste it such as MS paint.
    If you do not have the key, you can start the On-Scrren Keyboard to use the PrtScn Key within the remote session.

  • How to install windows remote desktop services with Microsoft Remote desktop License

    Hi
    we have plane to install a server in our company, having windows server 2008 R2 - 64 bit. and also buy 10 RD cal.
    now how can install RD call after installing windows OS.
    kindly help will highly appreciate.
    Arvind

    Hi Arvind,
    On your server, using Server Manager, you need to install RD Session Host and RD Licensing Role Services at minimum.  After install you should set the licensing mode to match the type of RDS CALs you purchased as well as Specify the licensing server
    name (itself).  You may do this in RD Session Host Configuration (tsconfig.msc) or via group policy.
    Next in RD Licensing Manager you need to Activate your licensing server.  Before you can install your purchased 2012 RDS CALs you will need to contact the Clearinghouse and have them downgraded to 2008.  Please have your licensing number,
    authorization number, licensing paperwork/emails ready before you call them.
    Locate the Microsoft Clearinghouse Telephone Number for Your Country or Region

  • Connection Errors to Remote Desktop from OSX after Domain name change

    We have an issue using Microsoft Remote Desktop from Macs in our school. All was well until we changed the domain name of our RDS servers and installed a new wildcard certificate. Connections work perfectly in Windows 7/8 and also iOS on iPads, but we cannot
    get any Macs to connect having tried OSX 10.7 and 10.9. The error message says the connection failed to load but seems to add a spurious end to the connection string - TS/en-US/Default.aspx - but we cannot trace where this is being picked up.
    We can get to the site in a web browser and sign in to receive the "browser not supported" message in Safari so traffic is obviously getting to the severs.
    Has anyone else had a similar issue? We have spent days poking around with DNS etc but can't seem to make any progress here.

    Hi Jeremy,
    I have tried removing connections and also re-installing the App. We have been using this App since January with no real issues until we made our domain name change - I really don't understand why it works fine in Windows and iOS but not OSX. We are doing
    nothing different to what we have done from day 1.
    Log file from our old connection when it was working looked like this:

  • 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.

  • Trying to download microsoft remote desktop and it keeps failing

    trying to download microsoft remote desktop from the app store and midway through the install, i get a message that app failed to download and to try again from purchases, that also fails.

    It happenned to me, too. I talked to apple support on the phone, and they helped me to get it download. which turned out to be a waste of my time because the microsoft remote desktop app doesn't work to begin with. even when it downloads, it will crash. it is just a buggy/ faulty program.

  • Set up microsoft remote desktop

    how do i setup preferences in microsoft remote desktop?

    Hi,
    If you mean the Windows Remote Desktop connection (mstsc.exe), you can use notepad to customize the .rdp file and distribute the customized .rdp file to your users.
    If you mean the Microsoft Remote Desktop app for Mac/IOS/Android, I’m afraid that we have no option to set the preferences.
    Thanks.
