Mac Rdp Client Black Screen
I have a MAC machine, the OS is 10.7.4, 27' monitor, and I installed a software named 'Remote desktop connection for mac' (downloaded from Microsoft website) 2.1 version.
- How to control your mac using win RDP client (XRDP compiling guide on OSx) Discussion in 'Mac Apps and Mac App Store' started by coozoo, Aug 31, 2014.
- Click on the black Remote Desktop Protocol window (to select it) and press Ctrl key + Alt key + Del key to bring up the Windows Security screen and select Log Off, then log back in. Start a new RDP client on your desktop but before you click Connect, click the Show Options link.
A client reported an issue that when some one RDP into their Windows 2012 server (which is also a domain controller) s/he get a black screen, The same black screen exist even if some one logs into console session, however apart from this all the services on the server functions just fine.
Mac Rdp Client Black Screen Update
When I run the tool, there is only one textbox for me to input the computer, and click 'connect'. There is no 'option' button or 'tab' for me to choose the screen size. And I also can't find any 'option' in later steps, so that the window I remotely connected to a win7 system is very small. even if I tried to click the '+' button to maximize the window, if failed and nothing happened.
Any comment?

Microsoft's Remote Desktop Connection for Mac does not have a lot of view options. Once you have connected to a remote computer you can use the items in the Remote Desktop Connection View menu to change the size of window. Your choices are:
- Command 1: Fit to Window
- Command 2: Full Screen

You probably want to use Command-2 to make the remote desktop as large as possible by having it take over your whole screen. In the non-fullscreen mode, you should also be able to drag the edge of the remote desktop window to make it larger.
torrey.lyonstorrey.lyonsGo to Preferences in the RDC Menu or press + with the RDC Session active.Then go to the Display Tab and change the Remote Desktop Size.

I'm using version 2.1.0 of Remote Desktop Client on my MacBook Pro with Mac OS X Snow Leopard (version 10.6). How do I use the fn or cmd call to simulate a print screen on the remote system?

Alt+Page Up replaces Alt+Tab to “tab” through running applications in the RDP window.
Alt+Page Up+Numpad + takes a screen print of the remote desktop (just like using PrintScrn on a local computer).
Alt+Page Up+Numpad - takes a screen print of the active window inside the RDP window (just like using Alt+PrintScrn on the desktop).
Der HochstaplerHere's an alternative solution to Oliver's answer for those that have those 'half' mac keyboards without number pads,
From within the RDP Windows screen, Start > All Programs > Accessories > Ease of Use > On-Screen Keyboard.
This onscreen keyboard has all of the keys you need including Print Screen.
Sickestif you click on the RDC menu at top of screen on OSX, click on preferences, then keyboard, you should have a Mac shortcut of option f4 (default) i actually remapped mine to option 1 (as i couldn't get option f4 to work on the standard bluetooth keyboard, but obviously you can map to whatever you like
I believe what you're looking for is Fn+Option+F4. This gives me a 'print screen' command inside the Windows RDP session to trigger application like SnagIt.
Pressing Fn gives you the straight function keys inside the RDP session, or at least this has worked for my MBP keyboard.
JoshPEasy way: PDF what you want a shot of then use 'take a snapshot' from the pdf and just hit paste where you need it. Saves it to the PC clipboard thru your mac.
Your welcome :-)
Jurassic world evolution download steam. You may find that your RDS admin has provided a separate snipping tool to provide this function - my session certainly has this. Checking the app, it seems to be part of the Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard server release.
Faster alternative solution / remote machine is Win7: on remote machine, open Start menu (hit cmd on Mac keyboard), type 'osk' (wihout quotes), make sure 'osk.exe' is highlighted, hit Enter on Mac keyboard. (osk.exe = On Screen Keyboard).
In the Citrix remote session on a mac, move your mouse to the top of the screen. The Citrix menu bar will drop down.Click in this order,
Devices->Keyboard->Send Key->Print Screen
If you use the windows on screen keyboard as in a previous answer it will include a photo of the keyboard. If you do the citrix menu option it just takes the entire screen the way you want.
Yet another alternative is the following.
If you have the Send to OneNote tool (part of MS Office) running on your remote Windows machine, then an easy solution is to hit COMMAND+S, select the region you would like to copy and subsequently click Copy to Clipboard.
This has the benefit of selecting only a part of the screen.
Press Windows+Space (⊞ WinSpace). Alternatively, move the mouse to the top of the screen to bring up the MacOS system ribbon (Mojave here) and click the looking glass icon 🔍 on the right. Observe the transparent input field in the middle of the screen.
Type 'screenshot' and click the 'screenshot.app' result. The screenshot app will launch, offering to select the screen area to snapshot.
The shutter button resides in the bottom of the screen, in a transparent block of large icons.
