RDC to WinServ SBS 2011 with iPad?

I am trying to connect to my desktop on a WS SBS 2011 domain through my iPad. Can get to the Server home page through Safari, but cannot connect to a desktop or the server drive.

Any one know of an app that will allow RDC connections?

TIA

I use this app for my clients who want to access their RDS session from the road. If you're off the network, you'll need a VPN connection, too.

»itunes.apple.com/us/app/ ··· 105?mt=8

Or you can just do a Teamviewer app or something along those lines.

Are you trying to use the Connect to My Computer feature using Remote Web Access? If so that method will only work with a Windows computer and Internet Explorer.

Other options would be as Oedipus suggests. There are many RDP apps for the iPad but they will require either a VPN (which the iPad can do) or a modification on your firewall to allow direct RDP access to your PC.

Personally I use LogMeIn, there's a free client app for the iPad.

Thanks for the info. I have the 2X app, but was having trouble connecting until I set up the VPN. Nowhere in the 2X information did I see a reference to the VPN connection.

Thanks Again.
