Will the OS X RDP client eventually support RemoteApp?

The OSX version of RDC says: "This beta version of Remote Desktop Connection is out of date. You are using a beta version of Remote Desktop Connection Client for Mac 2.0. We recommend upgrading to the final release version. You can download the latest version of RDC at http://www.microsoft.com/mac/"

BUT THIS IS A LIE! There is no final release version on the M$ site. Why are you implementing a timeout and don't offer at least a replacement version?

Because of this annoying message, my .rdc files for various connections do not work anymore, RDC only remembers the login credentials of a single server now.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE offer at least a timeout-fixed version if you are not able to provide a final version.

Mac version Beta 3 was released April 10, 2008 and it doesn't have an expiration.

We have installed ForeFront Client security in a single server topology. The OS is Win 2003 Server R2 SP2 and three concurrent /admin connections are allowed in this Terminal Server. Can anyone explain how?

When we tried more sessions, it failed, but three is working perfectly.

i am upgrading all the monitor to LCD, all users are currently using RDP 6.x, the default setting on the LCD's will be 1280x1024 at 32bit colour, i am wanting to use the RDP client in full screen. Now for the question

WAN bandwidth requirements for TS clients:

1024x768 at 16bit colour

Versus

1280x1024 at 32bit colour

In answer to Netconfig's question about bandwidth, there is no straight answer. In absolute numbers, a 1024x16bbp resolution yields about 12,000,000 bits per screen, and a 1280x32bbp resolution works out to about 42,000,000 bits per screen, so the difference is huge. However, there is a lot of optimizing and bitmap caching going on, so what is actually happening on the screen makes the most difference. To see a real number, you can use a third-party app to measure both up and down bandwidth under both scenarios and compare. That is the only way to get a real idea of what the difference will be.

how do I keep the user from being able to right-click on the rdp file and seeing all the settings? or alternately, keep them from being able to log into the terminal server without the program (thereby accessing the desktop).
