MS RDP 6.1

The fact that the new RDP6.1 is released is not news. Supported from the client side - Windows XP SP3 / Vista SP1. If you have Windows 2008 Server on the server side, a nice thing, at least, Easy Print is printing from a terminal session to a client printer without having to install printer drivers on the server. Previously, this had to use third-party ThinPrint or Tarantella aka Sun Global Secure Desktop.

Below are experiments with screwing it to other versions of Windows.

What you need: .Net Framework 3.0 SP1 or 3.5 - link to the online installer, link to the full version.

What to do, if:
')
Windows XP SP2 - the classic way: read , or download .
Briefly, this is the official client for XP SP2, but it will not be available via auto-update. It is necessary to deflate and deliver manually. .NET is also needed.

Windows XP (all versions) or Vista Clean (no SPs) is a workaround. The necessary files are taken with XP SP3 / Vista SP1:
1.% windir% \ system32 \ mstsc.exe and% windir% \ system32 \ mstscax.dll
2.% windir% \ system32 \ en-US \ mstsc.exe.mui and% windir% \ system32 \ en-US \ mstscax.dll.mui
Attention! For the XP line, files can be put in one directory; for Vista, the files from Section 2 must be in the en-US directory.
In principle, you can copy files from% windir% \ system32 \ ru-RU - this only affects the texts of the terminal client window.
.NET is also needed.

If you are using RDP connection files - after the upgrade you will be warned that the connection is not signed - see my research here .

And, as usual, retreat. The new version of the RDP client for OS X has changed the format of the RDP file, now it is not plain text, but XML. I will test tomorrow.

Maybe it will be useful.
Good luck!
