Then type or select the user account you want to use (you can leave the setting to ‘Ask When Required’ if for security you’d prefer to enter your account name each time). If you’re connecting to a Windows machine with a standard computer name, be sure to add. If you use a name, RDC requires a fully qualified domain name. Open the app, and tap the button to Add PC.Īt the ‘Add PC’ screen you need to type the name or IP address of the computer to which you are connecting. Setting Up Microsoft Remote Desktop 10įirst, download and install Microsoft Remote Desktop 10 from the Mac App Store onto your Mac. The process for setting up a remote desktop connection is quite different than in previous versions, so we thought we’d got through the process with you. The Mac version of the app has been updated to version 10 with some enhancements. Sigh - changes like Microsoft did to Skype - change the entire look so everyone goes “what’s happening - where is….?”.You’re working from home in front of your iMac or MacBook and need to access a different PC computer to grab a file or open an application, but how can you reach that other PC? As long as that computer is turned on and set up for remote connections, you can log in and control it from a distance using Microsoft’s Remote Desktop Connection feature.Īnd with Remote Desktop Connection for the Mac, you can use your Mac device to connect to and also control a Windows workstation or server. So I might need to read a manual here - if I can find what Microsoft call this feature in the DOCUMENTATION SEARCH as it’s sure not finding “FORWARD PRINTING DEVICES” as it was called before in version 8.
Still to find the “redirect printing to a local printer” option work - I’ve imported all my 87 sites (yes - 87) and find it doesn’t print to my local printer (even though the only option I can see is ticked in Remote Desktop 10 but it’s not clear if that is the one). I’m sure “under the hood” there’s been changes with version 10 which are nice - but I’m yet to read anything in the notes which makes this a “must have, upgrade”. I have over 80 Remote Desktops links and by far it’s far better layed out in Version 8 than with 10 which is just one huge list (or view them “by icons”) - so if you have more than say 4 Remote Desktops you connect to regularly, your going to see a list of “fine print” names without contrasting “darker” backgrounds every second connection - which really makes it easier to see.
I have the version 8 and version 10 side by side.
“Simplified” layout is actually more confusing
