Mac and Microsoft RDP

With our recent push to better serve our mac users, I have used the Mac on my desk a little more…. I wish I could report that I use it a lot more but that’s just not true. 

I have been using Microsoft’s RDP client for the Mac and it has been working well.  RDP allows me to connect to a windows server while I am also remotely connected to our OSX Leopard server.  The one issue with Mac RDP was not being able to connect to the Windows Server Console… but alas you can.  If you enter the server name /console in the address bar it connects you to the console session of that Windows server.

Just chalk it up to another fact that may be totally useless.

    I’ve benefited from the /console option quite a bit. Also, I’ve been using Cord almost exclusively. There’s a lot not to like about it, but I like it a lot better than the MS offering for dealing with multiple sessions at once…
