Can't connect to VRDP machine using MS Remote Desktop on Mac

Post by rawe »

Hi VirtualBox users and developers

It seems that you cannot (at least I cannot...) use Microsoft Remote Desktop on Mac (latest version, not the beta) to connect to a VB machine started in headless mode.

Host is openSUSE Linux 10.3 (x64) and guest is Windows XP Pro.
The version of VirtualBox is 1.6.4

Everything is updated but that didn't seem to help.

I can connect to the VM using Remote Desktop from a Windows XP machine. And I can connect to the VM using CoRD (http://cord.sourceforge.net/) from a Mac machine without any problems.

Not sure if this is a problem with VB or with Microsofts implementation of Remote Desktop on Mac.

Does anyone else have this kind of problems? And if so: did anyone manage to solve the problems?

Best

Hello,

please check the VBox.log file, there could be some information about the reason of the failure. Or better send me the file to sunlover at sun dot com

Thanks,
Vitali
