So properly-speaking, this probably a complaint about the service and not the client app, but the entire eco-system is failing me in small ways. Now, I'm sure there really IS such a way, but the internet is not my friend in helping me find it.

Since there are some operations that cannot be performed via RDP - attaching to a VPN being one of them - it would be nice if I could just leave the PC logged in and operate it via Remote Desktop at the same time. This works reasonable well except that the Remote Desktop Service on the PC requires that I can only be logged in either via the Remote Desktop app OR the PC itself. I don't want to keep changing physical keyboards, so despite the fact that the two physical machines are next to eachother beneath my desk, I use remote desktop to view and operate the PC while working on the Mac. This might typically include requiring users to enter a password before they are given access to the files and systems held on a remotely accessed PC.I have a specific usage case - I work in a multiplatform environment in which I work on the Mac and on the PC. In order to preserve security, various measures can be put in place by network engineers to prevent unwarranted access. It is just like being sat in front of your work computer. When Remote Desktop Connection is running what you see on the screen is just the same as you would at the actual PC you are accessing. Users might typically use it to access their office computer's programmes and files through a different PC they are using in the field or from home. So long as the PC concerned is either connected to the same local area network or an internet connection can be established, the programme will work. With the Remote Desktop Connection available in Windows, users are able connect to any computer terminal that is also running Windows. It can be accessed via the 'Start' button on PCs running Windows 7 and upwards. Remote Desktop Connection is a part of the Microsoft operating system which allows users to connect from one PC to another. Cathy Buggs Updated 6 years ago Get Connected with Remote Access
