  • Remote Desktop Shortcuts won't work in FULLSCREEN mode

    Hello,
    I found lots of
    shortcuts won’t work during remote desktop connection between Win7 64 host (home premium) to Win 7 64 guest (professional):
    Include:
    ALP+PAGE UP/PAGE DOWN
    CTRL + ALT + ±
    In order to make them work I need to exit full screen mode of remote desktop first (can be done with CTRL+ALT+BREAK)
    Is there any fix?
    Bob

    Hi，
    Have you check the "Local Resources" under Remote Desktop Connection "properties",? just as screen shot below:
    You can also test this issue with On-screen keyboard, check if issue persists.

  • How could I turn off the Command Key to Windows Key mapping in Remote Desktop for Mac 8

    I'd like to be able to turn the Command key->Windows key mapping off.  In this new app, whenever I use the Command key to initiate a Mac-side function, it registers a press of the Windows key within the Remote Desktop session.  Speaking only
    for myself, I use the Command Key for quite a lot of Mac operations, while my need and expectation for a Windows key press is zero.

    Agreed. Cannot stop it by disabling the "Windows" key (from within Windows 7). Every time I Cmd-Tab to change apps, the Start Menu pops up,
    and persists, overlaying other app windows. Much more than annoying.
    Also, there is no Clipboard Sharing, apparently. Love typing in long binary strings into the Registry.

  • Overriding function keys when using MS Remote Desktop Connection

    Is there a way when connected to a RDP client using MS Remote Desktop Connection to prevent the function keys from being intercepted and handled by OSX. For example on my iMac keyboard, function keys 7 to 12 are used to control itunes and alter the system sound volumes. Is there a way to have these keys processed by the RDP client instead, so that the remote Windows OS can handle them?
    While this question currently relates to an iMac, I'll soon be using a Macbook Pro in the same scenario, and will be requiring a similar solution for that machine.

    Thanks for your suggestion. Setting that option only toggles what the function keys are interpreted as in OSX, but the key presses are still not processed by the OS in the RDP session. For example, pressing F9 when the RDP window is active shows all open OSX windows in Expose, rather than having the keypress processed by the active software in the RDP session
    I did try posting to the forum you mentioned yesterday, but due to server issues my post failed. I'll try again today.

  • TS2832 My laptop, after updating to Apple Remote Desktop 3.7.1 , won't boot...I get a grey square box saying I have to restart my computer by holding down the start up key. I reset the pram, and it worked for about 5 days, now nothing works??

    My laptop keeps shutting down to a square box with writing that says, you must restart your computer. Use the start up key and hold it down. athen it has some writing looks like german or dutch also in the box. The first time it did this, I updated to Apple Remote Desktop 3.7.1 and I reset the pram and it worked fine for about 5 days. Then it started doing the same thing, but this time resetting the pram doesnt work for repair, and I also cant start up in safe mode now. Any ideas what happened, or suggestion on a fix for this?????
    Any help would be appreciated!!!!!!

  • 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.

  • Remote Desktop 8.0.6 for Mac does not map keyboard key properly

    Remote Desktop for Mac 8.0.6 is incorrectly mapping the grave / tilde key on the keyboard to the backslash / pipe key.

    Hi,
    Please check if the system language on your Mac and the keyboard language on the remote PC are match.
    Thanks.

  • 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...

  • Turning off an external monitor shortcut key

    is there a shortcut key-combo that will turn off the output to a video display so I can open different powerpoint shows without the audience seeing me doing so?
    iBook 14" G4   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    It was for a 120 plate fundraising dinner and the projectors are big and can't be controlled by remote due to their location in the projection booth...bad design, but nothing I could do about it. I ended up clearing my desktop of all but the icons for the PPTs and using a relevant picture for my wallpaper. Thanks for your answers though.

    And what is wrong with using a remote connection?
    Ideally I would like to implement it in an API tool that would create Oracle Databases for an API with specific prescriptions once give DBName and Password .
    Thus I think for an API tool to create remote shell connection maybe is an anti-pattern from Software Architecture
    e.g. I already red from Microsoft Doc that PSEXEC is sometime blocked from antiviruses
    But it was just a question, I may not do it, as informed, that companies having Oracle DB, usually have an Oracle DBA, and an Oracle DBA some times may not let anyone touch the Databases on the Server. Also Oracle DB Server might be on different Operating Systems while the API tool will always be Windows
    The method you use will necessarily be somewhat dependent on the OS of the server.  If Windows, what's wrong with using Windows Remote Desktop?  If *nix, as explained in your several other threads swirling around this question, use a putty session to connect ... then, if needed for a GUI utility like dbca, runInstaller, etc, just set up an x-server on your local machine and enable x-11 port forwarding in your putty session.
    You really are trying to make all of this much more difficult than it need be.
    Hmm... so in Windows a remote seems the only solution, except the one RichardHarisson proposed if you already have a Database set up. For Unix I can promote the port forwarding method you recomended. Thank you.
    Sorry I just finished my University and make my 1st internship on the Oracle DB Layer of Applications in Western Europe.
    P.S.
    There is no such a need but I would find it a personal good exercise in understanind these connections-administration issues under different OS to try create an API tool that creates DB on other PC of different OS once you chosen the OS of the Server.
    + I promess not to follow it with a flood of threads agains : P I already became better in finding what I need through docs, lol

  • To install Remote Desktop Services User CAL on Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition with SP1

    Dear Sir,
    Presently we have installed Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition with SP 1. And now i would like to install Remote Desktop Services User CAL on this server. I have 25 digit product key of Windows Server
    2008 R2 Remote Desktop Services User CAL (20). Downloaded this product key from our MSDN Subscriptions.

    Hi,
    1. Install Remote Desktop Session Host and Remote Desktop Licensing Role Services using Server Manager.
    2. Open RD Licensing Manager (licmgr.exe), Activate your server, then install your license
    3. In RD Session Host Configuration (tsconfig.msc), set the Licensing mode to Per User and Specify your RD Licensing server name (itself).  If you want you may configure these two settings via group policy setting instead.  The path of the
    group policy settings is Computer Configuration\ Administrative Templates\ Windows Components\ Remote Desktop Services\ Remote Desktop Session Host\ Licensing
    4. You may point other RDSH servers to your RD Licensing server using RD Session Host Configuration or via group policy as mentioned above.
    5. Optionally you may consider installing other Remote Desktop Role Services such as RD Gateway, RD Web Access, RD Connection Broker, etc.

  • 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.
    Control Panel\Ease of Access\Ease of Access Center
    Hope this helps.

  • My keyboard doesn't work when I connect to a Windows 7 computer with Remote Desktop.

    I got a new computer at work that has Windows 7 Professional 64-bit on it.  I set up a Remote Desktop connection from my iMac at home and connected.  However, when I tried to use the keyboard, nothing happened.  After a little pecking I found that the DELETE key worked.  Also, I found that the keyboard would work correctly if I held down the FUNCTION key.  Very weird.
    My old Windows XP computer was still connected so I connected to it via Remote Desktop.  The keyboard works normally there.  It has always worked in Windows XP so I was surprised when it didn't work in Windows 7.
    I've been searching but haven't found anyone with this same issue.  Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.  Thanks.

    1. Did you use Bootcamp Assistant?
    2. Did you build a USB with Windows 7 ISO and Bootcamp drivers?
    3. You should use a USB2.0 disk, not a USB3.0 disk (flash drive).

  • Office 2013 - RemoteApp & Remote Desktop Client

    When launching Office products from the Remote Desktop Client with Remote Resources / RemoteApp in OSX Mavericks. e.g. Office Word 2013 it is extremely slow and unresponsive. It opens to fill the screen but not full screen, cropping above the dock and below
    the MAC toolbar. This is not apparent in Windows Surface Pro / RT / 7 / 8, Android, iPad / iPhone iOS
    If I restore down the Window it seems to remove a white outer bar and then works as intended, even if I manually click and drag more or less to the same size of the maximised window. I believe this may be due to the Office 2013 shadow. In GPO I have:
    - Added a registry to DisableAnimation
    -Enabled 'Disable Office Animations' in the Office 2013 ADMX
    -Enabled 'Do not use hardware graphics acceleration' in ADMX

  • Is there a way to create a custom shortcut key to paste my email address?  I would like to be able to press a key combination that will paste whatever I set it to, i.e. my email address.

    Is there a way to create a custom shortcut key to paste my email address?  I would like to be able to press a key combination that will paste whatever I set it to, i.e. my email address.

    There are multiple ways to do similar things. One, built into the system, is to use text replacement. See:
    http://www.tuaw.com/2009/12/31/mac-101-making-text-replacement-work/
    There are other programs you can buy that can do the job in different ways, such as TextExpander. You could also just create a clipping file by dragging your e-mail address to somewhere like the desktop, and then you can simply drag that file to wherever you like to insert your e-mail address there.
