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.

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.

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):

How can I install Microsoft Remote Desktop ActiveX Control
I am trying to connect to my pc at work from home. This is the message I get.
This portion of the Remote Web Workplace requires the Microsoft Remote Desktop ActiveX Control. Your browser's security settings may be preventing you from downloading ActiveX controls. Adjust these settings, and try to connect again.
I have looked through all the add-ons available and can't find it to add on. Nor can I find a relevant security setting to change.
I am running firefox 28.0 on Windows 7 Professional.ActiveX controls are specific to Internet Explorer.

You can try opening Internet Explorer inside a Firefox tab with the following add-on.

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!Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Generally, if it is a home network environment, please use IP address of the target computer as the PC name.

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. -
Hi there , i use microsoft remote desktop to connect to my work pc - on my 21.5 mac the remote screen is half the size of my screen and i cant get it to be full screen - is this possible or am i just stupid ? many thanks
What setting have you chosen in the view menu? Fit to Screen or Window.
And, in Preferences what have you set for Display? -
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

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,
ErinThis 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. -
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.

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!!The genius for Microsoft products an be found onthe Microsoft forums for their Mac software:

I tried to set up a remote desktop connection between my MacMini and my work computer. It was not working so I hit cancel, but then the big black screen of death came up and will not go a way. I cannot close my computer nor quit the remote desktop connection. How do you close a non-responsive application? By the way, I am new to Mac and it is not as simple as hitting the Control, Alt, Delete. Please help.

Try ( alt + cmd + esc ). Gives you a menu of running applications, and a chance to "Force Quit". -
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.
ThanksHi,
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.

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
drwxrwsr-x 18 root shared 612 Dec 13 21:35 /Users/Shared
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
drwxr-xr-x@ 17 me staff 578 Dec 29 16:44 /Volumes/MyPassportStudio/Files-MPS
drwx------@ 30 me staff 1088 Jan 30 08:18 /Volumes/MyPassportStudio
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.
