*Sigh* Remote Desktop Connection to a Windows Box

Originally published on May 28, 2008

This is just a short post of frustration: I needed to connect to a Windows Terminal Server today. There is a RDC Client for the Mac by Microsoft. But when I wanted to connect, I got this error:

get CoRD and be happy.

Works for me! I am connecting to a windows 2000 Terminal server. Only one issue is that the keybaord didn't work to start, but playing in the prefferences (and restarting the app) seems to have fixed that. The only other issue is that the color pallet it a bit off, but I don't care. Thanks!

Check to box next to log onto console session in the section where you set up the server.

Nope, no love from CoRD, just opens a window and disconnects with no error message...
