Default 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.

Yes, it is there in Home edition. 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.

A minor correction, which I'm making just to make it easier for him to
search for it: that's TeamViewer.

Hi Vanguard,

Thank you!

I set up a lot of RDP for customers. 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

Anyone want my paper, ping me in the subject line.

The one I just set up, wouldn't let me sign in until
I ran mstsc from the workstations to somewhere else.
Then it let me in.

Sometimes M$ makes my head spin.
