I can confirm that I haven't see this issue in the latest builds.

I'm using RDM on and off all day and so far not a single issue with Dropbox being unavailable!

Microsoft Remote Desktop 8.0.2 / latest RDM build

Hi,

I know it has only just been updated through the Mac App Store today, but I thought I would feed back my findings since it appears a new version of Microsoft Remote Desktop AND RDM have been pushed out.

1. Every time you launch a new connection from RDM, a new instance of Microsoft Remote Desktop is launched. I'm pretty sure that before, the same instance would be re-used. I've just had 6 copies of MSRD open after ending the remote sessions so needed to close them all.

2. Previously when connecting to a new session MSRD would prompt for credentials in a dialog box. Now, connecting to the same servers I get sent straight to the Windows logon screen where I can pick the user to login as, and enter the password. This is directly in to the Windows login screen rather than a prompt by MSRD.

3. Is there any way to force MSRD to start minimised when launching a new session? I'd rather it wasn't visible anywhere, or self-terminated after closing a session, but I understand this is down to Microsoft.

4. When editing an RDM entry for a RDP connection, all entries have "Open in console" UNTICKED, however my Dropbox datasource should have them all ticked as this is how they were configured when created in RDM for Windows.

I hope this help. I'm just hoping the new MSRD now allows credentials to be passed through as this is the feature I miss the most having come over to the Mac platform from Windows.

Thanks,

Andy

Hi,

I've been having the same problem on and off since upgrading to v9. I'm now running 9.0.5.0 and still receive the same error.

When it occurs I have to quit RDM and open it up again.

I'm not having any issues with internet connectivity, access to Dropbox or problems with other applications that rely on Dropbox (e.g. the Dropbox client, 1Password etc).

Thanks.
