Hi

How can we setup safe Remote Desktop to a Win 10 client pc on a SBS 2011 from a remote Mac? The standard RWW does not seem to work for Mac.

Thanks

    Hi,
    It is said connections to an SBS server that requires an ActiveX control which is not supported by mac.

    However, after searching further, there is a very old post describing how to remote from mac via RDC together with RWW.
    You could take a look at below link and verify if the workaround provided would be helpful.
