Remote Desktop Connetion displays Very Small Icons and Jump Lists on Remote Machine

Hi,

Yes RDCMan mirrors the standard rep except that it won't recognize my local printers. Basically, no printers are showing up when I try to print reports. I print checks from the remote computer so I really need to be able to print from rdcman. Like you, I have to switch back and forth from rdc man to rep whenever I need to print and it is not very productive.

If other users have a fix for this issue, o would really appreciate if you post it here since I like my surface pro so I'm trying hard not to have to return it.

Hi,

There is no solution that I've seen as of yet - but I haven't really searched much lately - only "dealt with" the MICRO view of the RDP display when needed.  When you use RDCMan - does the resolution mirror a 'standard' view - and just show printer issues?

Thank you very much for posting this!  I just bought a Surface Pro 3 and I love it except that I have to use a magnifying lens when I use RDP.  The only problem I have with using RDCMan is that my local printers won't show up, therefore I can't print.  This is true even if I checked on "printers" and "clipboards" under the local resources tab.  Do you know if there's a fix on this or maybe there is something else I should check to make it work.  My local printers show up when I use RDP and when printing outside of RDP so I know it's not a printer set-up issue.  Would really appreciate your help on this.

I am having same issues I can barley read my employer network files when logged in remotely yet the same files resident on my machine are NORMA & READABLE!!!!

if Microsoft  don't have a patch OR AN ACCEPTABLE WORK AROUND for this by next week I will have to return my 2 week old surface Pro3 as this issue renders my machine useless as it was purchased for the specific task of connecting to my employers network. This machine was supposed to improve my productivity, IT HAS ACHIEVED NOTHING,

Hi John,

I had to reply to your agreement here - with some thoughts.  I researched the heck out of this - as I bought one for one of the executives in our co. (I manage the I.T.).  and wanted to find a solution for the issue to expedite my own acquisition of one of these!  Well - didn't find a 'true' fix - but picked up an SP3 anyway as I found a work around that I've deemed "acceptable" - for me anyway - not ideal.  Basically - we access a couple applications through rdp - WHEN I want to use these on the SP3 - I just change the resolution of the desktop to 1366 X 768 or 1360 x 768.   Then the remote screen is 'normal' - of course exiting you get desktop icons the size of volkswagon beetles and need to change it back to the awesome high resolution of the device.  Anyway

• just a thought.  I like the SP3 enough to do that - it's speed, power, features and sleek design in my opinion really is a plausible replacement for a business grade laptop.    It would benefit MSFT to provide an update that would handle this though - as many businesses run rdp applications - shame they can't render the display to whatever the remote server hosting the remote app is.  BTW - another thought - I had a second screen plugged into the SP3 USB port -  and the rdp display mirrored the second display
• normal size fonts - but then again - would you really carry around a second display?!  However if you are working in an office/home office - perhaps that's an option - just plug it in and work away.  Hope this helps some.
