Windows 10: When will Microsoft include dual monitor support on the Chrome OS version of their RDP Client?

It's a huge limitation RDPing into a Windows PC with dual screens from a Chrome OS remote client running Microsoft's RDP client, and not being able to use the Chrome OS dual screens to work with the dual screen setup of the Windows host.

macOS RDP client does not support interactive login

In reference to the macOS Windows RDP client, appending this line to a .rdp file: enablecredsspsupport:i:0

does not bring the expected interactive login screen as for the Windows native RDP client, which is very limiting for our application case.

Is this inconsistent support of the RDP clients known and is there a workaround for the macOS (and Linux) client?

Best,

Sebastien

Hi Tim,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I suggest you to change the settings to Extended Monitor and check if it helps.

Please follow below steps:

• Right Click any ware of the Desktop, and launch Personalization.
• Go to dual monitor settings under personalization, and change it Extended Monitor.

Please get back to us for future support, we’ll be glad to assist you further.



Thank you.

 

RDP: If I save .rdp files with different users for the same target, it will log in with the previous user's credentials

Hello,

This can occur if the RDP client is configured to use cached credentials or if there's a misconfiguration in the RDP file itself.

Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve the issue:

1. Check the RDP File: Ensure that the .rdp file does not contain any saved credentials that might be overriding the inputted username. You can do this by opening the .rdp file with a text editor and looking for lines starting with username:s: and prompt for credentials:i:. If prompt for credentials:i: is set to 0, it will not prompt for credentials and will use the saved ones instead. Change it to 1 to prompt for credentials.

2. Clear Cached Credentials: On the client machine, you can clear saved RDP credentials by going to the Windows Credential Manager and removing any stored credentials related to the remote desktop.
   
3. Update RDP Client: Ensure that you are using the latest version of the RDP client, as updates often include fixes for known issues.
   
4. Group Policy Settings: If you're in an enterprise environment, check the Group Policy settings to ensure that they are not configured to use the last logged-on user's credentials for RDP sessions.
   
5. RDP Client Settings: Within the RDP client, check the settings to ensure that it's not set to use the credentials of the last user. This can typically be found under the 'Options' or 'Advanced' settings within the RDP connection window.
