I was recently trying to setup a users home Windows Vista machine up for Terminal Services Web Access through the Active-X Control. Upon installing the Active X control I was given an error about the version for RDP.
To find out the version of Remote Desktop Connection on your computer , open the Remote Desktop Client by clicking on Start , then in the Run or Search field then type
mstsc and enter
Now in the top left of the Remote Desktop Connection box , press the computer icon once , then click
about. This machine only had Version
6.0.6000 which is the version Windows Vista comes with. Vista Service Pack 1 updates this to Version 6.0.6001 , which supports RDP 6.1 and the Terminal Services Web Access.

I found out something else the other day. In Windows 7 microsoft in their infinite wisdom decided to get rid of the 256 bit color option. I usually turn down the resolution to make the session move nice and quick over slow connections, ie, my cell phone providers network out in the middle of nowhere. It is still there…you have to save your settings, right click on it, choose open with, select notepad. Now change session bpp to session bpp:i:8. Save. Now you have a shortcut that will open in 256 bit color.
