The process for setting up a remote desktop connection is quite different than in previous versions, so we thought we’d got through the process with you. The Mac version of the app has been updated to version 10 with some enhancements. I understand this being a problem if I were using a different user name & password, but since it's the same as the one I use when connecting (successfully) from my pc, I don't know how to correct it.You’re working from home in front of your iMac or MacBook and need to access a different PC computer to grab a file or open an application, but how can you reach that other PC? As long as that computer is turned on and set up for remote connections, you can log in and control it from a distance using Microsoft’s Remote Desktop Connection feature.Īnd with Remote Desktop Connection for the Mac, you can use your Mac device to connect to and also control a Windows workstation or server. I've figured out how to get the Remote Desktop Connection to give me a log in for our server however, when I try to log in with my user name & password, it gives me that message that I 'must be granted the Allow log on through Terminal Services rights.' What I don't understand is that I can still log onto my work server with my home pc using the user name & password, so why is there a problem doing the same with the Mac? I've googled & read many articles, but I can't find the answer. I do have the Remote Desktop Connection Mac that came with the Microsoft Office for Mac. My company uses Windows 2003 small business server and I can log in from my home pc.

I see this post is from July 2011 however, did you ever get a response to your question? I just bought a MacBook Air, and I'm having the same problem.
