Can you remote into a vista machine from a mac running os x?
Using Microsoft Remote Terminal Services Client for OS X can I remote into a vista machine?
Thanks!

Response by poster: I am aware of the software, but will it allow access to a Vista machine?

It SHOULD work w/ Vista, as long as you have RD perms on the Vista box.
I wouldn't bother with the MS client. GO for CoRD instead.
It's UB and much better than the MS client.

Doesn't Vista introduce new security to Remote Desktop? IIRC you have to switch down to the older type of security on the Vista machine so that non-Vista clients can connect. I doubt Microsoft's Mac RD client will connect to the new protocol because it doesn't list Vista as being compatible.

Best answer: To carry on from my comment above:
On the Vista machine you want to connect to, click Start, then right-click Computer. Click Properties and then click the Remote Settings link on the left-hand side. In the dialog that appears, click Allow Connections from Computers Running Any Version of Remote Desktop (Less Secure). Then click Apply.

d0h...humblepigeon has it.
When I originally tried it against a Vista box, I forgot that I had changed the settings to the less secure ones
