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.

remote desktop

Hello,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



Please help me with the below details to understand your issue in a better way:

1. Are you using the Microsoft remote desktop app?
   

If you are using the Microsoft remote desktop app downloaded from
Microsoft store then, I suggest you to follow the steps to
fix problems with apps from Microsoft Store.



If the issue still persists with the Microsoft remote desktop app, then you can contact the support team by going to the

link and scrolling down to the bottom and clicking on
Microsoft remote desktop support under the Publisher info.



However, if you are using the Remote desktop connection, which comes pre-installed with Windows 10, then I suggest you to please post your question in the
TechNet forum.



Hope it helps.
