1.6 Close Microsoft Remote Desktop Preferences. Note: The following shows the common problem encountered by some students before they installed the “Microsoft Remote Desktop” program on their MacBook’s. It is because the “Remote Desktop Connection for Mac” might not be compatible with the RDP file created by Microsoft for our course.) If this is encountered, download the latest Microsoft Remote Desktop version 10.2.4.
