I gleefully installed the virtual, and fired it up. I figured the RDP keyboard latency was because of this (that MS just needed to fix their client, and possibly CoRD needed to catch up too).

I decided to get a Windows 7 ISO and install VMWare Fusion. A few hours after my last post, I saw this message on the MS site and decided to give up on any mac client – RDC or CoRD. As Edwin commented above, the mac RDP client is not supported by Microsoft for Lion.

#Rdp client for mac that works update#

I have an update on my mac RDP experience, but no solution.

Then either let it save as default (not really recommended), or save off a connection. If its not a saved one, go from RDP -> Preferences. The authentication they speak of is machine authentication, not user account authentication. “Always connect, even if authentication fails.” If you’re working with saved connections… UPDATE 3: Commenter Dustin has the easy solution for auto-bypassing certificate errors when connecting to Windows machines from Macs, awesome work Dustin! It seems an ideal solution to me… it notifies you once, but you can turn off subsequent notifications. UPDATE 2: you can see how the Windows based Remote Desktop Client handles this situation: UPDATE 1: Commenter Zachary suggested I just fix any certificate errors, but alas this is not always an option for me. I am looking for a permanent solution (so you don’t have to press “Continue” every time)… Do you want to connect to this computer anyway?” You can bypass this message and still connect to the computer by clicking Continue. *Note, there is one minor annoyance: when connecting to some Windows based PC, Microsoft’s Remote Desktop Connection Client for Mac may display a warning message: “The server name on the certificate is incorrect. Those two clients are definitely worth taking a look at as unfortunately MS seems to be letting their MS RDP client languish 🙁 UPDATE: Some commenters have suggested that CoRD performance has progressed nicely over since this article was first written and iTap for desktop has also come online as a nice option for those willing to pay money for a RDP cleint. It performs smoothly even on slow connections and did I not notice any deal-breaking* issues. It is a bit of hassle to adjust settings and save different connections, however, performance was EXCELLENT.įor me, the choice was clear: the official MS RDP client. Lots of lag and just generally a little flaky in my use.Ĭonversely, Microsoft’s offering is fairly straightforward if you are used to the Windows RDP clients.

However, overall the perfomance was pretty bad in my setup. Here is the short version of my results:ĬoRd has some cool features like automatic screen resizing when you resize the window and it has a nice interface for adding and saving connections. I installed both and tested them from my MacBook Air to my Dell M6500 laptop and a variety of other systems over the course of a workweek. The second option is CoRD, an open source alternative RDC client for Mac OSX. The first option is Microsoft’s official RDC client for Mac OSX.

The Automatic retry RDP packet drops the requestedProtocols:Īt this point I'm trying to figure out how to get the windows RDP client to renegotiate like the Mac client. The First try RDP packet looks like this: (Normal RDP traffic, I can connect and it works).requestedProtocols: TLS security supported, CredSSP supported, Early User Authorization Result PDU Supportedįor the Macs, I see a negotiation that looks like this:.

The 'RDP' Packet above has the following information: In examining a WireShark trace I see the following for sessions that fail: Paradoxically, our SysAdmins who run MacBooks are able to connect using the MS RDP Client for Mac. We have a Windows Server 2008 R2 system that can't be accessed remotely via RDC from windows systems (I've tried Windows 10, Windows 7, Windows 2012 R2 all without luck).
