  • What are the actual steps for using it with VM in Hyper-V?
    I've seen some articles about it, but non seems to work 😕

    Nice to see it still being updated - I thought it was going to be phased out by the dumb Store version. Hope it continues to get developed! 👍

  • Thank you for the update, are there any release notes for the latest versions, and has this version fixed CVE-2020-0765?

    I was previously successfully and happily using the legacy RDCMan (last updated around 2014) and came across a problem, where on research, I found this updated version, which momentarily corrected the problem, but then it came back...

     

    The problem is that after one or some of the applications listed below were installed and a restart, the RDCMan view to the other Workstations screen is now black and non-responsive, like the Video connection either never starts, or I have seen where it does start and immediately freezes.

    • Plain RDC also fails
    • You cannot "Disconnect Server" or "Reconnect Server"
    • RDCMan process cannot be terminated, machine must be logged out or restarted to eliminate the dead process

     

    Programs providing an update that one/some/all likely contributed to the problem:

    • McAfee DLP Update
    • Microsoft Windows Updates
    • Microsoft Office Updates
    • Autodesk 2022 packages

     

    Ideas?

    Help please?

    Thank you for sharing.

    I would like to request to add screenshots of this product in the original article of this product so for those who are new, they get some idea about how it is look likes.

    It's really amazing to see RDCMan get an update after all this time!! I hope it continues to benefit from fixes and features.

  • When can we expect an updated version that works around the Credssp issue when connecting through a Hyper-V host?
