After searching and searching for a remote desktop client that I could use on my new MacBook Pro, I came up with CoRD, which seemed to do the trick. Until I tried connecting to a Windows Server 2008 machine. Apparently there are some signatures or something that don’t line-up between CoRD and Windows Server 2008, so as of now, CoRD is unable to connect. Having not seen another remote desktop option while searching, I thought that I was just up a creek until CoRD released a new update, until today, when I randomly came across a page at Microsoft that has the Mac version of their Remote Desktop Client. Now, I don’t know why this didn’t come up in any of my original searches, but had I known about this client, I would have been using it from the start since 99.9% of the server that I need to connect to are Windows Servers.
If you’re having the same problem that I was having with CoRD, try downloading the Remote Desktop Connection Client for Mac 2.
