Configuring Mac RDP Client 1.0.3 To Allow Local REsources Access

[Guest jbell94521]

I am connecting to a Microsoft Terminal Server system, that is running on a

Windows 2003 Server Standard Edition machine, (32-bit version). We are using

Microsoft's Remote Desktop Client 1.0.3 for Mac to connect. Most things seem

to work OK, but we are having trouble with a few:

 

1. We don't know how to enable local resources on the Mac side of the

connection so that the connected user has access to her local machine's disk

drives. (We have no trouble doing that when the client is a Windows XP

machine. The Terminal Services security is set to allow that feature.)

 

2. Same issue for local printers.

 

We are used to editing the saved Remote Desktop Client shortcut on Windows

machines to enable the local disk drive and printer access from within the

T.S. sessions, but don't know how to do that on the Mac.

 

3. When the user needs to execute a right-click of her mouse within the

Terminal Services session, that does not seem to work. She is able to on her

local machine, but not in the T.S. session.

 

Thanks for any help. If you respond with instructions, please keep in mind

that I am not very Mac-literate, so please don't assume I know anything on

that end. I do know the basics of Terminal Servers. Thanks!

I've not used a Mac in many years, but this is what I've picked up

from the posts in microsoft.public.mac.rdc over the years:

 

You can modify the options in the Mac RDC client by twiddling the

disclosure triangle next to "Options".

 

Note that printers must be PostScript for redirection to work.
