IanHiI am currently trialing a free copy of Royal TSX using a Mac Mini to connect to 2 different Windows servers one running server 2003 (running an old version of filemaker which we are upgrading over 6 months) and one running server 2012 (our recent replacement which will take over the filemaker once upgraded).
We had been using Microsoft remote desktop on all other macs and PC’s needing access to these servers but found incompatibility between Mac OS versions and the different server OS’s.Back to Royal TSX on my Mac mini, I was wondering if any other users had trouble with copying and pasting text. I might select and copy from an email on the 2012 server and then go to the 2003 server and paste into filemaker but find the text isn’t on the cl;ip board. This seems to get progressively worse over the course of a day.I have also experienced crashes with TSX – “Warning (a) Decryption using Standard RDP Security mechanisms (section 5.3.6) failed. (b) Session key creation using Standard RDP Security mechanisms (section 5.3.5) failed”This morning I had a prompt for an upgrade to TSX and went through the install.
When I next launched TSX and connected to my connections I had the following warning – The plugin you’re trying to use is incompatible with the Royal TSX version you’re currently using! If you choose to continue you might encounter bugs and crashes. Are you sure you want to continue? Yes or no?I assume the upgrade would have updated the plugin as well. I don’t get an option on how to fix.Anyway this is some feedback on the Royal TSX product so far.Ian.
