I am now finding myself running into the problem of not being able to connect to Windows Server 2008 machines using CoRD (Cocoa Remote Desktop) – which worked perfectly for connectiong to Windows Server 2003 machines.

Has anyone found a solution for connecting to Windows Server 2008 machines via remote desktop from a Mac?

CoRD (Cocoa Remote Desktop) has given me the perfect solution for connecting to Windows Servers and Windows based PC’s, just as easy as using the Remote Desktop Client that is built into Windows itself. CoRD has given me the perfect option for connecting to my office Terminal Server, as well as managing and maintaining my other servers.

CoRD Remote Desktop for Mac OSX is a great option if you need to connect and manager any of the following:

  • Windows Server 2000
  • Windows Server 2003
  • Windows Server 2008 (hopefully coming soon)
  • Windows XP (Home, Professional or Media Center Edition)
  • Windows Vista (Home Premium, Business, Ultimate)
