Mac Forum / Applications / Other MS Products / November 2005More RDC for Mac problems
I was able to log onto my company's terminal server (which is a Windows 2003) from my Mac at home using the Remote Desktop Connection I downloaded. Now apparently, my license has expired. But I know that my company has a current license with Microsoft. The IT people at work have no idea how to fix this, since they never work on Macs. Anyone have any helpful advice? Email me at tmoreland1@bellsouth.net. I have the exact same problem and have learned how to fix it on windows PC. I deleted the microsoft license folder but not sure where or what to do with mac.

On Mac OS X, the " / " refers to to the "root" of your system, which is most often associated with the top level of your startup disk. Therefore, if your startup disk is named "Macintosh HD" then open it and look for the "Users" folder. Open the "Users" folder and you'll find the "Shared" folder. Inside the "Shared" folder, you'll find a folder related to Microsoft's RDC client. Hope this helps! bill SignatureWilliam M.

Smith > (Microsoft Interop MVP) Hey William, I was able to find the Shared Folder with the Microsoft folder. But I clicked on the Microsoft folder, and it just gave me the log on screen. And I'm still not able to log on, so those folders don't work for me. Is there something in the folder that I should be looking for? > Hey William, > I was able to find the Shared Folder with the Microsoft folder.

Hi Ted! Try trashing the folder and its contents. I believe this is where the licensing / trial period information is stored. Once you've trashed these files, reconnect with RDC and see what happens.

But it must have some way to remember me, because it won't let me log in. Let me know if there's any other option. Thanks for your help on this. I'd love to be able to get this fixed. I currently have 2 computers on my desk and that's not working. |
