Option 1 - Modifying termsrv.dll

This guide will take you step by step through the process of configuring your Windows 10 computer for remote connections, and then setting up macOS to make those connections. This will allow you to view, control and use your Windows 10 PC remotely from your Mac. Set Up Windows for Remote Connections.

• When I use RDP on Windows, I can simply add a file to the clipboard and paste it inside the RDP window. The same thing doesn't seem to work in the mac version of RDP. If I try to share one of my Mac's folders with the RDP computer, and then double click that drive in RDP it says.
• In this video, I'll show you how to use Microsoft Remote Desktop on a Mac. Simply download the application from Apple's App store, install, and configure a c.

To have concurrent user sessions working in Windows 10, you need to make small changes to termsrv.dll file. This file is located in C:WindowsSystem32 folder. Before modifying termsrv.dllfor the first time, you need to take ownership and assign yourself full permissions. You also need to stop Remote Desktop service (TermService) if it's running.

DLL files can be modified using any HEX Editor (for example Tiny Hexer). You can do this yourself by replacing strings shown below, or just download patched versions from this page.

Option 2 - RDP Wrapper

Instead of modifying termsrv.dll file you can use RDP Wrapper which acts as a middleman between Terminal Services and Service Control Manager. This way you don't need to touch termsrv.dll file. Actually, if you already modified your termsrv.dll file, you need to revert to the original version before using this method.

Download and extract RDPWrap-v1.6.1.zip (or newer), then run install.bat as admin. After installation is completed, run RDPConfig.exe. If all items under Diagnostics are green, you should be good to go.

If 'Listener state' is 'Listening [not supported]', you will need to update the wrapper's configuration (.ini) file.

With the latest version of RDP Wrapper you no longer need to update rdpwrap.ini manually. Simply run update.bat and everything will be done automatically.

If update.bat doesn't add support to your Windows version, try checking Open Issues on RDP Wrapper GitHub page. You may find how to manually update rdpwrap.ini until official support is added.

Connect to Windows machine in AWS or any cloud from within MacOS, Linux

• RDP clients on MacOS

This is a tutorial on the different ways to “remote into” a Windows instance from a MacOS or Linux machine.

Remote Desktop Connection on Windows machines

Remote Desktop Connection is installed with by default on all Windows machines.

Within Start Programs > Accessories, is a RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) client program that can be used without being an Administrator. It uses uses port 3389. The RDP is also known as “Terminal Services”.

If you are running a Windows virtual instance (under VMWare Fusion), etc.,

1. If you were given a rdp file, click on it because the RDP program is associated with the “rdp” file extension:

   ec2-54-219-170-140.us-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com.rdp

   This way you see the dialog filled in.

Alternately, open the program manually:

1. Click the Windows “Start” icon button at the lower left corner (or wherever you moved it).

2. Click the “Remote Desktop” icon on the Windows 10/2016 Desktop if it’s there:

   Alternately, type enough of Remote to see “Remote Desktop Connection” appear for you to click.

   Alternately, type mstsc to see “Remote Desktop Connection” appear for you to click.

   Either way:

3. In the “Remote Desktop Connection” dialog, paste into the Computer Name: field the DNS name such as

   ec2-54-219-170-140.us-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com Adobe au.

4. Click “Show Options” for a pop-up:

5. Type in User Name “Administrator” if you’re using an Amazon EC2 instance, since Amazon EC2 makes use of PEM files for security.

   Alternately, if you are working within an enterprise environment, you may need to add a network domain name in front of your assigned named, separated by a “backward slash”. This is because enterprises create for the same person different accounts for internal and external use.

6. Click “Save”
7. Click “Connect” to see a “Welcome” screen.

8. Click “OK” on the Welcome screen.

   CAUTION: Remember to Log off, especially if you are sharing a machine with others.

Save rdp file from Amazon

1. Click the “Connect” icon at the top of the Console.

2. Click “Download Remote Desktop File” such as: Web scraping data science.

   ec2-54-219-170-140.us-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com.<strong>rdp</strong>

3. Double-click on the file to open the RDP client.

   Back to the dialog:

4. Click “Get Password”.
5. Click “Browse…” and select Downloads, the .pem file downloaded earlier.
6. Click “Decrypt Password”.
7. Double-click on it to highlight it and press Ctrl+C to copy the string to your Windows Clipboard.
8. Open a Notepad file and paste it there so you won’t lose it.

9. Click “Close” to dismiss the dialog.

   RDP Client

10. On Windows Explorer or MacOS Finder, double-click on the .rdp file saved earlier to invoke an RDP client program (if one is installed on Mac, see below).
11. On the RDP client, click on the Password input field and paste the Clipboard contents.

12. Leave the Domain blank and click OK to connect.

13. Click View Instances.
14. Scroll down to copy the IPv4 Public IP such as 54.219.170.140

Other operating systems

On other operating systems (such as MacOS or Linux), if you have no administrative rights on your corporate Windows laptop, spin up cloud instances in the cloud and access them via a client that uses RDP.

RDP clients on Linux

On Linux machines, there is RDesktop at http://www.rdesktop.org

RDP clients on MacOS

On the Mac, these RDP clients can reach into instances of Amazon EC2 or other cloud that house Windows servers.

A) Royal TS is the enterprise client, at $29 each if you want to spend a little money.

B) Microsoft Remote Desktop for Mac from HockeyApp is what I recommend for free.

C) Microsoft Remote Desktop from Apple AppStore

D) Vagrant RDP

E) Microsoft’s Remote Desktop Client Connection 2.1.1 for Macintosh is gone

F) Chrome RDP Add-on is no longer supported?

G) CoRD from Sourceforge is obsolete
