This neat little app brings the world of Windows to your tablets and phones, regardless of platform.
Posts: 3. I just upgraded my iMac to the new macOS High Sierra (version 10.13.4) that was released on March 29. I'm running RDM Free 5.1.0.0. When I open RDP and attempt to launch/open.any. of my saved sessions, the session window appears briefly and 1/2 second later it disappears. This is occurring to all of my saved sessions, and its not a user credentials issue.
I tried enabling/disabling the NLA and TLS checkboxes under the Microsoft RDP Connections tab, and that made no difference. The next thing I tried was to export one of my saved sessions using the 'Export Entry as Remote Desktop File.rdp' option, and it launches perfectly fine using the Microsoft RDP app. So something must have broke on the new macOS 10.13.4 code. The corresponding Application log is showing the following: 3/30/2018 9:23:12 AMERROR SILENT Failed to connect to the host (131085). 3/30/2018 9:23:17 AMERROR SILENT Failed to connect to the host (131085). 3/30/2018 9:24:10 AMERROR SILENT Failed to connect to the host (131085). 3/30/2018 9:53:40 AMERROR SILENT Failed to connect to the host (131085).

When I purchased my first Apple computer (13″ Macbook Air) early in 2013, I found myself searching for the best application to remote into my Windows computers and servers. With the need for me to be able to quickly remote into a variety of Windows servers, I wanted an RDP client I could use on my Mac that would give me a great experience. At work we typically suggest to our Doctors and staff when they come to us for assistance with setting up VPN and remote access into the hospital. But Microsoft’s Remote Desktop for Mac isn’t the only application available. My RDP Requirements Since I work heavily on Windows machines, there were a few essential requirements I was looking for to help my overall daily workflow:. Performance.
Manageability of multiple systems. Microsoft Remote Desktop for Mac Coming in at # 1 for my favorite remote desktop client for Mac is Microsoft’s Remote Desktop for Mac. Microsoft had recently made version 8.0.0 available. This version really has stepped it up a notch from their previous version. Performance Performance is not an issue for me during my tests. Manageability of multiple systems Yes, you can manage multiple systems. One of the biggest notable changes I found with this version over the previous is the fact that you can save client servers/sessions.
This was important to me since I have a wide-range of servers that I need to connect to at any moment. Price Free Cons None as of this writing. 2X Client for RDP/Remote Desktop Coming in at # 2 on my list is 2X Client for RDP/Remote Desktop.

I have to be honest and say that I haven’t given this one a full blown test as of yet. However, I have used it many times on IOS devices and has worked well. I did install it for my testing here in this article and overall was a nice experience. I would have to rank this one a close 2nd to Microsoft’s client. Performance Overall performance was not an issue for me during my tests.
Manageability of multiple systems Yes, you can manage multiple systems. Price Free Cons A small issue I see (and probabaly not an issue for most) is the Windows Snap feature. It seems to be a ‘hit-and-miss’ when I try to snap a window to the top of the screen. CoRD Coming in at # 3 on my lis is CoRD. CoRD is a Mac OS X remote desktop client for Microsoft Windows computers. As of this writing, CoRD’s website has an announcement saying: “Cord don’t seem to work on 10.9 Mavericks. Check back next week.” This was announced on 2013-10-23.
As you can see in the video, I have installed CoRD on my Macbook Air running 10.9 OS X Mavericks and it does work. Maybe there are some bugs that I am not aware of but overall it does seem to run OK for me.
Performance Overall performance for me was not an issue during my tests. Manageability of multiple systems One thing I really do like about CoRD is the option to view all remote sessions in one window. This really saves space on your desktop and makes it a breeze to switch between the different sessions. Price Free Cons CoRD doesn’t appear to work with NLA (Network Level Authentication). This is a problem for me since a lot of the servers at work are now configured to use NLA, I simply get an error saying: “The requested session access is denied” when I try to connect.
As with CoRD, another issue is the Windows Snap feature is a hit-and-miss. Conclusion In the end, all three of the applications worked well. The major downside for me with CoRD is the fact I am unable to connect to servers with NLA enabled. For now, I will continue to use Microsoft Remote Desktop for Mac. I will update this post and/or comments below with any updated experiences (good or bad).
