RDP - Remote Desktop for Windows 1.1 for Mac is free to download from our software library. This Mac download was scanned by our built-in antivirus and was rated as malware free. The software can also be called 'RDP'. This software for Mac OS X is a product of ICSOFT. The following version: 1.1 is the most frequently downloaded one by the. From your Windows PC, access the Microsoft Remote Desktop assistant to configure it for remote access from another device using the Remote Desktop apps for Windows, macOS, iOS or Android. Email myself a link to the Microsoft Remote Desktop Assistant. I use my Mac connected to a remote server (Windows 2008) using Microsoft Remote Desktop Beta, and in the Windows 2008, there is a virtual machine on it, I use the Xshell connected to the VM. But when I want to paste some code, the shortcut key is Shift + Insert, however on the Mac there is no Insert key. Enable Remote Desktop on the Host System In order to initiate the application on your host system you should first go to 'Start' - 'Settings' - 'Control Panel' on your computer. Click on and open up the 'System and Security' icon and then 'System'.

Windows has supported TLS for server authentication with RDP going back to Windows Server 2003 SP1. When connecting to a Windows PC, unless certificates have been configured, the remote PC presents a self-signed certificate, which results in a warning prompt from the Remote Desktop client. An environment with an enterprise certificate authority can enable certificate autoenrollment to enable trusted certificates on the RDP listener, thus removing the prompt. To get OS X clients to accept the certificate takes a little extra configuration not required on Windows clients.

While I may only be configuring certificates in my lab environment, there's not much effort required to remove these certificate warnings.

Client Warnings for Untrusted Certificates

Here are the client certificate warnings on various Microsoft Remote Desktop clients, including OS X. First up the original Remote Desktop Connection (mstsc) on Windows:

The new Remote Desktop Universal app on Windows 10: Downie 3 7 10.

And the Remote Desktop client on OS X 10.11: Pantone color manager 2 1 0 intelcrack download free.

Configuring the Certificate Template

I won't cover installing and configuring an enterprise certificate authority here; however, here are a number of articles worth reading on this topic:

To configure a certificate for use with Remote Desktop Services (or RDP into any Windows PC), you'll need to create a new certificate template and enable both the Server Authentication and the Remote Desktop Authentication application policies. This was key for OS X clients - both of these policies must exist. Some articles will walk through this configuration and recommend removing the Server Authentication policy; however, the certificates will then not work on non-Windows clients.

This article has a great walk-through of the entire process and more: RDP TLS Certificate Deployment Using GPO. In my lab, I've created a ‘Remote Desktop Computer' certificate template and enabled it to be autoenrolled via Group Policy.

Certificate Template Options

To create the new template, open the Certificate Templates console and duplicate the Computer template. Use this template because it already has the Server Authentication policy enabled. Bluestacks for 64 bit windows 7.

After you added the ‘Remote Desktop Authentication' policy, you should see the policies and see in the following dialog box. See below for the actual 'Remote Desktop Authentication' policy.

Adding the 'Remote Desktop Authentication' policy requires adding a new extension named ‘Remote Desktop Authentication' (or similar) with an object value of '1.3.6.1.4.1.311.54.1.2' (excluding quotes). and enter the values as above.

Save the template and configure your CA to issue the new template. In my lab my certificate template display name ‘Remote Desktop Computer'. Since my first template failed, it's actually called ‘Remote Desktop Computer v2'. However, the important name to note for the next step is the actual template name, which can be found on the General tab of the template. In my case this is ‘RemoteDesktopComputerv2' (the display name, minus the spaces).

Configure Autorenrollment

To configure autoenrollment, I've created a new GPO dedicated to the autoenrollment setting and linked it to the organisational units containing server and workstation computer account objects. Edit the policy and enable the following setting:

Computer Configuration / Administrative Templates / Windows Components / Remote Desktop Services / Remote Desktop Session Host / Security / Server authentication certificate template

Add the name of the certificate template and shown in the screenshot below:

Once a Group Poliy refresh occurs or on the next boot, the target Windows machines will autoenroll for the certificate and configure their RDP listener.

OS X Configuration

Now that my Remote Desktop certificates are configured for autoentrollment and Windows machines are picking up the certificates, I can import the root CA certificate into my MacBook running OS X.

Navigate to the URL of your certificate server (e.g. http://cert1/certsrv) and download the certificate via ‘Download a CA certificate, certificate chain, or CRL'. Download the CA certificate in DER format. Find the downloaded certificate in Finder and open the certificate to install it into Keychain.

Once installed the certificate is not automatically trused as you can see below:

Set the certificate to be trusted by selecting ‘Alway Trust' from the ‘When using this certificate' option. Close the certificate properties window and you should be prompted for your password to save the changes. Now when connecting to PCs via the Remote Desktop client, you should no longer receive certificate warnings.

This article shows how to install the root CA certificate via Terminal, which should assist in automating the import across a number of Macs.

4. Vine Server

Vine Server, previously known as OSXvnc, is a free VNC server for Apple computer offered by TestPlant for free. You can use other VNC viewers to connect to the Vine server but using their shareware $35 Vine Viewer enables an additional feature which is transferring files via copy and paste.

5. Remote Management

Mac OS X actually comes with a built-in remote management feature that allows other computers on the local network to access the Apple computer using the Apple Remote Desktop which we mentioned earlier. However, there is a setting where you can allow third party VNC viewers to connect and control the Apple computer. First click on the System Preferences icon at the Dock and click on Sharing. Click on the checkbox for the Remote Management to turn on the service.

Click on Computer Settings button. Tick on the 'VNC viewers may control screen with password' and type in a password. Click OK to save the changes. Optionally you can click on the Options button to configure the access permissions.

Do take note that the Remote Management feature in Mac OS X uses port 5900 which would conflict with the default port used by RealVNC server or Vine server if both service are enabled at the same time. You can either fix this by enabling only one service at a time or change the port usage on RealVNC or Vine server.

Logmein Free isn't completely free anymore. You can buy an account, and for IT people, you can buy Logmein Central, and then tie a couple of Logmein Pro pay-for machines to the account (easy). Then you are given logmein free subscriptions you can then tie into the account. If the remote access is going to give you an hourly rate or save you time (and time is money) then it is WORTH buying the annual subscription.
The thing that has always been an issue for me is Logmein wants to boast about their ability to stream the remote desktop as HD, and frankly that is just bells and whistles to me. That requires WAY more bandwidth, and is pointless in most cases. The GREAT thing about logmein, even over their join.me product, is you can cut back the color quality or even make it black and white. This SIGNIFICANTLY speeds up the remote session to make sure things work right. Join.me is a $100/yr subscription, to compete with their enterprise version rescue, but again the quality of the remote session is simply limiting and time wasting for the average IT guy who needs to help the user.
More to the point of Logmein Pro, you can actually perform secure file transfers, and monitor the system in a dashboard. The Dashboard for pro subscriptions ALSO gives you things like the top fifteen running processes, all scheduled tasks, the most current 15 lines of the event viewer log, etc. You can perform various levels of remote boot, and even utilize a scripting type offering called one to many.
It is incredibly powerful, and COMPLETELY worth the cost of the annual subscriptions.

Thank you very much. Used realvnc viewer on win 7 64bit, to connect to a mac laptop on OS X Mavericks.

I was using the built in vnc server for osx, but with the last 10.8.5 update my connection got a lot of lag. I updated my vnc viewers to the latest but that didn't help. I finally downloaded the vine vnc server ( turned off the osx vnc server ) and bingo problem solved. Thanks for the article, it was a great help.

thanks a lot
