[question] Can I connect Apple Remote to MS Remote Desktop

Is it possible to connect to Windows computers running WinXP with Apple Remote Desktop?

I'm using MS Remote Desktop for Mac but its little... Never mind. I just want to change it to something else

And a task is to connect to PC running RDC.

Am i clear ?

yup, i do it all the time. are you having a problem getting it to work? or you're just asking if it will work?

I can't get it to work...

I run Remote Desktop and it shows me some PC on my network... but i can't connect with them... have i setup something or is it some special progs i have to install onto those Win boxes?

Background:

we have AD network with some Win2003 servers. All workstations - WinXP. I only MacOS laptop over network I can connect to servers with MS Remote Desktop but a cacn't do it with Apples Remote. And yes, I have AD user name but I didn't join my Mac with AD...

Can you guide me? step-by-step maybe

All i see is "Verify failed" when i try to add a station to Master List...

Addendum

Network admin just told me that a workstation a saw within Apple remote - is a printers... network printers... i'm curious...

ah, the dreaded 'verify failed' error. that's an encrypted password issue. i forget the exact fix, but it's got to do with a regedit on the server side. i remember i found the fix through google. good luck getting your admin to turn off password encryption on the server...

thanks. i'll try to Googleit

You'll never get past it.

As long as password encryption is used, Apple Remote Desktop will fail to authenticate.

And no self respecting admin will turn it off for you.

Kinda defeats the whole security thing if you disable it.

All i need - find where this option is...
