Jimmie,
Hello, I have just read through all of this forum as I am trying to go mobile in my office. I was originally looking at the surface pro but stumbled on the chromebook and then this forum. It sounds like at some time you made the transition from in office server to cloud based AC which is what we use currently. The IT helpdesk recommended hard wired devices if using an app to log into a desk top in office. I'm assuming you are using a wireless system with the chromebook? If so do you have any issues with connectivity when you are "attaching," to AC in the cloud? Are you aware of anyone doing the same with an apple product? I currently use a MacBook to log in to my desktop when away through GoToMyPC and it seems to work fine, was wondering if there is an advantage to the chromebook vs a mac for in office use like this?
Sounds like you have been through quite a journey with all of this. Thank you for any insight you can provide.
You have several options.
For our clients who run in our managed environment, or on AC's you can use RDC to connect directly. In some cases, we have had to request that AC provision RDC versus just the App.
With RDC, you can use both Chromebooks and Macs. If AC is unable, unwilling to help, just give me a shout. It just takes some attention to detail.
There are a host of reasons to move away from Microsoft centrics solutions.
Mobile solutions and improvements are moving quickly.
