mstsc in home edition?
Hi All,
Would someone with Home edition mind seeing if MSTSC.exe is included in the home edition of Windows 10? winr mstsc.exe If it comes up, it is included. Many thanks, -T |

How is it that you don't have VMs with every recent Windows version or edition? It only takes a few minutes to spin up a new VM, and less than a minute to boot it if it already exists. That would be faster and more efficient for you than asking those kinds of questions here. |

However, it's just the client (to let you connect to some OTHER host running the TS server). Your customers cannot use it to let you remote to their hosts, not if they are the ones running Home edition. Whatever host is running the TS server would have to punch a hole in their router's firewall to allow unsolicited inbound connections, along with port forwarding in the router to decide to where the traffic connects in the intranet hosts. TeamView would be easier to setup. No having to bother with firewall configs. However, if you use it for business -- which you are -- then you need to pay for it. Alternative, one the VNC variants is probably a better choice than setting up a TS server and then at some other host use TSC. |

It is one of my specialties. I am great of port forwards and such. And I have a really nice working paper I wrote as to the steps to take on each machine. RDP has three advantages over TeamViewer. 1) It is free, but the server side does require the Pro Edition 2) It sizes the screen to the remote screen, not the local screen 3) It is faster -T Anyone want my paper, ping me in the subject line. |
