The Redmond based software giant Microsoft Corporation recently released the preview of Remote Desktop App for Windows Phone 8.1. The preview notes a few minor changes in the version 8.1.2 of the app. One of the changes in the app is finding short name of the system that the user is trying to connect. Another enhancement in the new version is the added ability to perform NetBIOS name resolution, apart from the normal Domain Name Server lookup done usually. Last but not the least, the software maker made it easier for customers using Windows Phone 8.1 to access on-screen keyboard while tapping into a text field in the app.
If you are not aware, Microsoft's Remote Desktop App is actually an application that can be downloaded from the Windows Store. This software gives the ability to connect with a remote computer easily. You might have seen the remote desktop feature being utilized for Windows tech support purposes. Windows tech support personnel usually use remote desktop feature for accessing PCs to resolve issues.
This Remote Desktop App can be used to connect a Windows Phone 8.1 device, be it a phablet, smartphone, or tablet, with a work single PC, or connect with multiple remote desktop PCs. This recent preview came out immediately after version 8.1.1. However, there are still certain enterprise and management functionality features lacking.
For example, there is support for Remote Desktop Gateway in the app. This means that encrypted transport is still not possible with it. Others functionalities that are excluded include Remote Desktop Connection Broker and RemoteApp. However, it is reported that these features in Remote Desktop will be added some time later this year, and the updated version will be available to Windows Phone 8.1 users soon.
Apart from the new preview, the software maker also revealed that it is seeking feedback from users on which all features should be added to the Remote Desktop App in its next release. One of the top suggestions says that the app should provide the ability to synchronize connections to OneDrive (Microsoft’s cloud storage service), where another one suggests including the ability to modify the device's screen resolution before a remote connection has been established.
Now, regarding the licensing requirements for these apps, they are not easy. There are complexities like the requirement of client-access licenses and supporting back-end infrastructure for making Remote Desktop to work on Windows as well as non-Windows devices.
