Hi

The applications I use on Windows Server box I'm connecting to make extensive use of Function keys.

The keyboard I use on a traveling PC (SurfacePro 3) has the Fn key turned off by default.

I want to set the Function key on the keyboard to On when I connect.

Any suggestions on how I can set options within Properties window to do this.

Thanks, Nigel.

More info for you, as I have isolated the trigger of the problem.

It's being caused by File / Options / Types / RDP / RDP (Version).

It was set to Default, problem happens as described.

If I set to 8.0, problem as described.

If I set to 7.0, I have correct functionality, being able to switch between connections / full screen / my local deaktop at will. Exacty what I need and am used to. Including screen scaling.

If I set to 6.1, same, it works as one would expect.

When trying the other choices (for completness of testing)

If I set to 6.0, won't connect to my servers, after offering credentials.

If I set to 5.0, I can't connect, credentials for the server aren't even offered.

I'll leave that with you and your R&D team.

Downside Please ......

What am I missing out by using 7.0 and not 8.0

I think so, Smart Sizing is set to None in File / Options / Types / RDP.

Then in each specifc session Screen Sizing Mode, General / Display its set to Default.

How do I send you screenshots ?

Hi.

Just following up on this issue I'm trying to get a resolution to please.

Thanks.

Hi,

I've just updated to 10.0.17 and continue to not be able to be connected to more than ONE remote terminal server at once, without causing a can't reconnect problem.

I understand the new reconnect approach and have no issue with that when connected to a SINGLE server. Ye the message is annoying, yes it's much slower than the standard MS RDP software, but I can live with it, it works when I only have one RDP session open.

I've read the Blog, http://blog.devolutions.net/2014/10/embedded-sessions-reconnecting-its-a-new-feature-of-the-rdp-activex.html.

Screen Sizing Mode is set to None.

Here's the sequence.......

Connect to one RDP session in full screen.

Revert to your local desktop.

Connect to another RDP session in full screen.

Revert to your local desktop.

Select either of the RDP session you have open and go back to a Full Screen connection.

It will not reconnect to either

I get the count up message, 1 of 20, 2 of 20, etc ..... until that times out.

End sessions, all of them.

Reconnect.

Please understand that I can't be connected to more than ONE server at a time and simply re-connect between the two, while also working on my desktop.

You just can't swtich correctly between Full Screen when multiple RDP sessions open.

I've been reporting problem for the last 4-6 weeks and get the feeling that you think it's just someone going on about the re-connect again, that's not the case.

Appreciate your advice ....

Thanks.

A follow up to my previous post, just insalled 10.0.12.0 and have the same problem.

Connect to one RDP session in full screen.

Revert to your desktop.

Connect to another RDP session in full screen.

Revert to your desktop.

Select either RDP session and go back to a Full Screen connection.

Won't connect.

End session.

Reconnect.

Just can't swtich correctly between Full Screen when multiple RDP sessions open.

Hi

A follow up issue on this stub.

In 10.0.4 / Windows 8.1 / SurfacePro 3, changing the above setting to None improves usability, with single Reconnecting messages, albeit it's not really reconnecting. But only if you connect to a single server at any one time.

If there are multiple concurrent RDP sessions open to different servers, then software reverts to not Reconnecting correctly and failing to do so.

You have to terminate the connection and reconnect.

That's obviously frustrating.

Can you review that please.

Thanks.

My version is 10.0.4.0 and I see a subsequent note that the issue has been re-created and logged, great.

In the meantime, when I change these settings I'm loosing scaling in RDP.

I'm connecting from a Surface Pro 3 set to 1920 x 1080, with an RDP setting of 1024 x 768.

I was getting scaling correctly after the upgrade, but with the bug of constant disconnections.

The scaling is important, as from a tablet with high resolution, server screens are unreadable at the tablet resolution.

Any thoughts on how I should set the correct parameters.

Thanks.

Hi,

I have the same issue and see the resolution that is reported to have solved the proble, but the suggested change isn't being retained in the Tools / Options screen.

Any advice on how to have the change be saved ?

Thanks, NHEvs
