Thanks to all for sharing your feedback on RDC updates, today we released RDC Beta3 replacing RDC beta2, extending the beta period through the final release of RDC 2. You will no longer see a pop-up beta expiration message. The download is available here.
In addition to the updated expiration, you will also notice many improvements in the new build. I will point out a couple of major updates and let you discover the rest on your own. Beta3 includes a full set of Help topics, available through the new Help Viewer. The Help Viewer will be able to look online for the latest updates to content, just like Office 2008 for Mac’s Help Viewer. RDC support of non-English keyboards and languages has been implemented for French, German, Italian, Spanish, Swedish, Dutch, and Japanese. The RDC user interface and Help topics are also fully localized for these languages.
As part of these updates, we are also re-examining the final release version of RDC 2. Originally, in order to get RDC out sooner, we were planning on removing the ability to double click on RDP files to launch an RDC session. When this feature stopped working properly after the Beta 2 timeout, the feedback on this blog and in other online forums helped us decide that it wasn’t worth cutting to be done sooner. So we kept it, scheduled additional testing and will have the final release this summer. Beta3 will be available through the release of the final version. Stay tuned for updates.
So give it a try and tell us what you think! Please continue using the RDC Connect site for sending your feedback and suggestions. You will need to sign in with a Windows Live ID to submit feedback, which is why some of you clicked the Submit Feedback link and saw the page circling back to the front page.
I use a system for work that requires me to copy an image out of photoshop and paste it into our database system on the remote server. Currently I have to save the image in a shared folder on my computer, then go to the remote desktop app and then copy it to the desktop (or somewhere on the server) then open it in paint (cause microsoft image viewer doesn't allow me to select all and copy) select all then copy and then paste into our database program.
Is there any roadmap for rich clipboard support! I really would like to save myself and my co-workers some time to work on other things! After all time is money!
Thanks for reading!

Installation problem
I'm unable to install the new Beta. I either get "The Installer could not create the folder "/Applications/Remote Desktop Connection.app", or "The Installer could not creaet the folder "/private/tmp/Remote Desktop Connection.pkg.randomalphanumerics".
The first time I tried installing, I hadn't uninstalled the Beta 2 version. Now the Beta 2 is uninstalled and I am still getting the errors. Has anybody else experienced this?

Keyboard problems
I've installed beta3 and I cannot use my keyboard anymore after pressing the ALT key.
All keys act in an unexpected way, and also the mouse behave in a strange way.
I'm using a Macbook Pro with Ita-pro keyboard layout.
I was forced to switch back to beta2, which works perfectly... (except for I cannot find the \ | key)

Excel Sheets
I want to be able to color my sheet TABS like I use to be able to do in my PC versions of Microsoft Office. This small but useful tool helps to differentiate several sheets in one workbook and makes it easier to locate and switch between sheets. WHY is this tool NOT incorporated into Microsoft Office for Mac? Is there anyway I can use this tool in my Microsoft Office for Mac? I am so hoping that Microsoft will accomdated those of us that love those small, wonderful tools found in Microsoft Office for PC's into our Microsoft Office for Mac. I am such a devoted Microsoft Office FAN!
Thanks so much for your help and insight!

RDP and smart card logon
Hello,
I'm the administrator of a big IT farm.
I use a mac and .. of course I administer about 20 WIN server.
Last I installed a smart card logon system based on a Aladdin token and a certificate authority.
Unfortunatly the smart card logon is not supported by this RDP version, right ?
Have You a plan for this feature ?
Thank You very much.

2.0 Still Doesn't Respect Primary Mouse Button
This latest RDC 2.0 beta still doesn't respect the "Primary Mouse Button" setting in the Keyboard & Mouse preference pane on the Mac. I have my mouse buttons swapped as I use my mouse with my left hand (so my primary click is a right-click and a secondary click is a left-click), but when I connect to a Windows computer, the primary click is the left-click and the secondary click is the right-click.

New RDC beta more welcome than you could ever know!
Oh my God, a new RDC. On first impressions it is rather great as well. I have upgraded, customised and resaved all my rdp links so that I can log into any of my servers with a double click. Excellent idea by the way to integrate with the keychain and use the features built into OSX for secure passwords.
That is more like it... Very good, very fast.
One of the reasons Mac users hold Apple in such high regard is that they seem to listen to their users and build exactly what the users want. This has in the past been a criticism of Microsoft in general, in that they don’t seem to listen. Well done to the MacBU for listening to its users and building exactly what we want. The backslash key now works as well.
Impressive..... Most impressive.
P.S. I was surprised to read that MacBU were thinking of dropping the highly useful feature of being able to double click on a custom rdp file to launch a remote session. Glad to see this vital feature still exists in RDC. Removing that would have generated a large number of complaints.
Fantastic, you have made my (and many other Mac users) day!
Now if only there was a bug fix for office 2008 and spaces, I’d be ecstatic and would have to go and have a lay down in a darkened room.

After updating to beta 3, I can't log in any more to the remote server. It seems that my password is encoded the wrong way or so. Using RDC 1.0.3, I can log in normally with same user-name and password. Maybe its al German problem only…

Why didn't run again the "| \" or "< >" key (the same was in the previous version) ?
RDC is a very good tools to work in hybrid companies environment (Windows and Mac OS). But there is a noising troubleshooting: the "| \" key (in the Italian keyboard layouts) or the "< >" key (in the USA keyboard layouts) don't run anyway. The key is placed on the top left corner of the keyboard (just under the ESC key). In both the keyboard layout cases, there are not way to obtain the characters I have indicated ( | and \ , or > and <), never by using some keys combination. If this issue should be resolved, the product will be very useful.

So I've been using CoRD ever since the beta2 expired and while I'll be switching back to RDC, the drawer feature that they have that lists all the servers you access is quite useful over the use of .RDP files, which litter my desktop. Any chance that might make it into the final release?

Keyboard issue + still timeouts
Hi there,
thanks for the update. Unfortunately, since the update I can't use Shift-Key+Arrow keys to select text in applications on the remote station (e.g. in Outlook mails). And I'm still having the regular issue that the remote desktop freezes for a few seconds and then works again . Still using Vista Professional for the target system, and still no freeze issues with XP or W2K3 systems.

Something goes completely wrong in B3. In a matter of seconds the client-OS gets completely messed up information about the status of Ctrl, Alt and Shift-Keys, so that I'm in fact unable to do any productive work on remote systems.
I think I'll go back to Beta 2 with the timecheck cracked away... If only I had the Beta 2 Installer somewhere...

Hi,

As I understand it, Remote Assistance is built on Remote Desktop anyway.
Thanks,

Thanks for the beta 3 update! Not only is the expiration notice gone, but so are the little black regions that used to develop when running 2 RDC sessions at once. Although not a huge deal, I used to have to restart my sessions at least 3 times per day to keep the black regions at bay.
RDC is very important to the way I work - thanks for making it better.
Looking forward to the final release (and yeah..being able to double-click an RDC file to open that session is worth waiting for).

If you wanna connect just sometimes to one or two computers it is ok, but when you need an extra "power" it becames un-usable. Also, by default it is always asking stupid questions, wich makes you to waste your time donig click here and there and... I mean, If I wanna change somethin, I will do, in my preferences screen, but please, stop bugging me when I am working.
Are you gonna develop left column, tabs, etc. to administrate some servers at the same time?

Black screen of death
Sorry, team, but I've just installed Beta3, and I no longer have RDC functionality. The app tells me I don't have Vista, then starts to log on, passes the login screen, turns the RDC window black, and stalls with a spinning beach ball. Sometimes splat-q quits, sometimes force quit is needed.
The target machine also seems to get a bit scrambled - the desktop background vanishes in favour of default blue, but a restart restores that. Icons are rearranged to fit the RDC window, and a restart doesn't fix that.
If I can't find the beta2 installer I'll just have to walk down the hall, I guess.

ALT Key on Mac Spanish Keyboard
I was very happy realizing that RDC 2.0 Beta 3 is including other languages set than English.
I am currently using my Spanish Keyboard and very satisfied until it gets the time of using any character under the "ALT" combination.
By pressing the Alt+Key I am able to get the required character, but from that point on is like the ALT key is being pressed forever and there is no way to deactivate it. So final result is that from that point on, you can only type the characters under the ALT+Key combination.
Any help would be more than appreciated.

Black screen of death
The target machine also seems to get a bit scrambled - the desktop background vanishes in favour of default blue, but a restart restores that. Icons are rearranged to fit the RDC window, and a restart doesn't fix that.
If I can't find the beta2 installer I'll just have to walk down the hall, I guess.

ALT Key on Mac Spanish Keyboard
I am currently using my Spanish Keyboard and very satisfied until it gets the time of using any character under the "ALT" combination.
By pressing the Alt+Key I am able to get the required character, but from that point on is like the ALT key is being pressed forever and there is no way to deactivate it. So final result is that from that point on, you can only type the characters under the ALT+Key combination.
Any help would be more than appreciated.

Why???
I need to administrate more than 8 servers and when I'm using my Mac it becames a nightmare.
If you wanna connect just sometimes to one or two computers it is ok, but when you need an extra "power" it becames un-usable. Also, by default it is always asking stupid questions, wich makes you to waste your time donig click here and there and... I mean, If I wanna change somethin, I will do, in my preferences screen, but please, stop bugging me when I am working.
Are you gonna develop left column, tabs, etc. to administrate some servers at the same time?
Thank you very much!
