Mac Forum / Applications / Other MS Products / July 2006Is Remote Desktop for Mac Still Supported?
Appears that latest version of Remote Desktop Connection Client for Mac OSX is Version 1.0.3 released in OCT 2004. Anyone know if it is still supported by Microsoft and\or any planned updates to the software? Thanks, Eric ericf@far.org > Appears that latest version of Remote Desktop Connection Client for Mac > OSX is Version 1.0.3 released in OCT 2004. Well, it still works fine for me under MacOS X 10.4.5. It's not so obsolete. > Anyone know if it is still supported by Microsoft and\or any planned > updates to the software? I don't know...

It will need to be made Universal Binary to get faster. I hope they'll release a new version :-\ Corentin Signature--- Mac:MS MVP (Francophone) --- http://www.mvps.org - http://mvp.support.microsoft.com MVPs are not MS employees - Les MVP ne travaillent pas pour MS Remove "NoSpam" to e-mail me - Retirez "NoSpam" pour m'écrire if it doesn't run on Intel, install the version for X11. http://www.rdesktop.org/ should work like a charm. > > Well, it still works fine for me under MacOS X 10.4.5.

From http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=6573f9f1- 8ae1-4da9-ab5c-f8457ecdaf2d&DisplayLang=en System Requirements: Supported Operating Systems: Apple Mac OS X To use Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection Client 1.0.3 for Mac, your Macintosh computer must meet the following minimum requirements: Processor: Macintosh PowerPC. Operating system: Mac OS X version 10.2.8 or later Memory: 128 MB of RAM. Hard disk: 3 MB of available hard disk space temporarily required to complete installation; after installation, 1.1 MB of hard disk space. Note: The hard disk should be in Mac OS Extended (HFS+) format, the default format for Mac. Microsoft does not currently support running Remote Desktop Connection from a hard disk that is in another format. _________________________________________________________ Vera Noest MCSE, CCEA, Microsoft MVP - Terminal Server TS troubleshooting: http://ts.veranoest.net SQL troubleshooting: http://sql.veranoest.net ___ please respond in newsgroup, NOT by private email ___ "fatpipe" <sheila@fatpipeinc.com> wrote on 30 mar 2006 in microsoft.public.mac.rdc: > That is interesting that it is working for you becuause it is not > working for me and I am on MacOS X 10.3.9 it does work but is slow to start up and is laggy when typing - needs to be made UniBin. Mark Mark, I can confirm that it works on Intel - MacBook Pro, 10.4.7 via Rosetta. I don't notice any real performance issue, probably because the Core Duo's performance makes up for the Rosetta slowdown. I believe that RDC is an obsolete and unsupported product by MS. It hasn't been touched since 2004 and it doesn't even have an official product number. If you're on intel, I highly recommend using Parallels: www.parallels.com. It blows away Virtual PC on performance and is more stable. Another option is to use vnc. Chicken of the VNC is the most popular Mac vnc client. Search for it on versiontracker. Hope that helps.

It does run under Rosetta right now, but there are a couple of issues we're investigating. I will try and monitor the newsgroups and answer questions for users. In terms of any updates to RDC, we haven't announced anything at this time. Thanks, James Brennan Microsoft Corp.
