Microsoft Remote Desktop

Summer 2023. For our laptops, my college says no Apple Silicon Macs (Intel required). Has anyone had any issues with Microsoft RD on the latest Macs? Today they are recommended version 10.4.1 Thanks

good

I have been using remote desktop on my MAC for about 2 years, for a PC based program that I need for work. Within the last few months it has been crashing a lot and even deleted my program a few times recently. Is anyone else having these issues?

I try not to change from MAC to a PC so I want to get access to my files and programs I have access to when I use a PC. I have some issue with RemoteApp and Desktop Connection, I can download the .rdp file on my MAC but it still just download the file even I have installed the Microsoft Remote Desktop and choosen to use it when open the .rdp file. What do I do wrong? Its on a Windows Server 2012

Worked quite well until I updated this morning (Big Sur 11.6). Now will not connect... not even in the Beta version updated 3 days ago.

It's a good app but I wish it was tabbed and didn't crash SO often.

From where can I download an older versionof this app? I'm running OSX El Capitan and newer versions of Microsoft Remote Desktop for MAC no longer works on my O.S. Thanks in advance

Camera forwarding working bad. Sometimes can't start streaming, sometimes can't change to another camera

NON app Store version available directly from Microsoft here (it also is a few versions ahead of MAS) https://macadmins.software/ this page primarily has Office downloads, but scroll down and you will see MRD. these are legit downloads, hosted on MS servers.

Even creating .rdp files on my PC and using the MRD app on my Mac to import the file results in no connection between the two devices. I just cannot fathom why this app refuses to work by manually entering the data or using the import function. If anyone knows what may be causing the problem I'd appreciate knowing how to get around it.

direct link to a beta NON APP STORE version provided by MS, this is legit. All credit and thanks to user @donikatz for pointing us in the right direction. If you are concerned about the legitimacy of this download, hockeyapp is owned by MS. https://rink.hockeyapp.net/apps/5e0c144289a51fca2d3bfa39ce7f2b06/

Microsoft RDP is good. Additionally, you may try tools like logmein, R-HUB remote support servers, TeamViewer etc. for remotely accessing computers from anwyhere anytime.

Do not use this version. Download the Microsoft Remote Desktop Beta client directly from Microsoft, currently version 8.2.27 (you'll find it online, hosted on Hockeyapp, now a division of MS). Lots of improvements including much better UI. 4* is for the beta version, not this one.

I use this application every day at least 10-15 mins, Can somebody please change the subtitle? This is just ambigous: "Connect to Windows machines."

I believe it should be: Connect to Single Windows user's Desktop on Windows workstation and / or server

Wow, only 1 update in an entire month, "bravo" M$.

I'm a light user of RDC and it usually works OK when I need it - but FOUR updates in less than 30 days (8.0.27 on Mar. 15, 8.0.28 on Mar. 21, 8.0.29 on Mar. 31, 8.0.30 on Apr. 08), its annoying. Come on M$, get your act together!

Be aware that Microsoft removed the spaces in between the name, it's now MicrosoftRemoteDesktop, and it breaks the dock icon, requiring you to drag the revised app to the dock. Royal pain for corporate admins...

I wonder if Microsoft is ever going to be able write a piece of software without having to issue at least a dozen updates before they almost get it right. Office 2011 is a good example. It like Flash has nothing but holes all through it that they should plugged before releasing it.

There are several online articles on capturing app store installers from the app store. https://derflounder.wordpress.com/2013/10/19/downloading-microsofts-remote-desktop-installer-package-from-the-app-store/
Things have changed with each OS version since this article. There are newer locations of downloads which include:
/private/var/folders/zz/zyxvpxvq6csfxvn_n0000000000000/C/com.apple.appstore/
/private/var/folders/zz/zyxvpxvq6csfxvn_n0000000000000/C/PKInstallSandboxManager/5AF5AE82-B23B…(numerical string which may or may not be unique).activeSandbox/Root/Applications/
/Library/Updates/numbered folder beginning with zzzz031 or just 031 which may vary by OS version/safari9.0Yosemite.pkg
/private/var/folders/rz/x_s0shtd58q4k3k2s2k3c5br0000gn/C/com.apple.appstore/715768417/
And others. Only Root has access to some of these locations so you have to login as root to capture the installers. Which location they go to depends on OS version and whether the download is a 3rd party, Apple App, Apple system file or some other classification. If you spend a day capturing downloads you'll get the hang of it. Then there's the MAS receipt issue for the ilife/iwork apps...you'll find out. See https://jamfnation.jamfsoftware.com/discussion.html?id=10240
But in short, using the above methods you can get the MS remote desktop installer to reuse and it won't be locked to an Apple ID.

Incredibly stupid to only make this available through the App Store. Mostly used by my corporate clients where we don't/can't use the App Store.
