Windows 10: How do I connect Windows 10/11 to Mac server

Error: 0x204 when trying to connect to server using Microsoft remote desktop app on Mac

Hello Carlos,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you are receiving the error 0x204 when trying to connect to the server using the Microsoft remote desktop app for Mac.



You can try the steps mentioned below and check if that helps.

1. Quit the remote desktop program on Mac and hold the option key.
   
2. Now click on the Go menu to enable the library and select the user’s that.
   
3. Now navigate into containers folder and copy com.microsoft.rdc.macos and com.microsoft.rdc.mac and paste it on a different location.
   
4. Now go back to the user’s library and open the group containers folder
   
5. Copy UBF8T346G9.com.microsoft.rdc and paste it on a different location.
   
6. Restart the PC.
   

Also, you can try resetting the network settings for your Mac and see if that helps. Refer the article by Apple on

How to use network locations on your Mac.



However, as the issue is related to connecting to server using remote desktop app, I suggest you to post your issue on

TechNet forum as we have experts who have more knowledge about connecting to server.



Hope it helps.

Kick or Ban who is connected with my internet ?

You would have to do that on your Router's setup webpage. 1st step is to turn on WiFi encryption and password. 2nd step, if you feel you need to, is set up an access list of the physical MAC addresses for the network adapters of the computers you want to allow to connect. Any other network adapter not on that MAC filter list won't be able to connect. (but MAC addresses can be easily spoofed, if the third person knows which MAC addresses are allowed).
