Hi, Nicola.
Even not knowing your network configurations, I’d say it’s very likely you can save an Excel export to a local folder via RDP. Another strategy we use when working on secure networks that do not allow remote file sharing is to add a DropBox (or similar secure file sharing service) link to the virtual desktop – this gives easy, but controlled and monitor-able, access to exports, reports, and other media files AND provides a secure storage “way station” for projects in process.
Just a thought – perhaps another option!
All best,
Jen

Hi all,
I reviewed this thread because we just set-up our Mac users to access TMS through RDP. Some of them are less interested in reports than in exporting list views to Excel. Is that possible to do as long as they have a networked folder to save the files to?
Thanks everyone!
Happy Friday,
Nicola

Thanks Karen and Peter. I knew there was a way using a network folder! Just wanted to make sure if other people were using that method.
Happy Friday!

We also have a similar set up with an alias folder to our Macs set up on the virtual windows machine, so when you save something to that folder it actually saves it to the Mac (but can easily be accessed by either machine). I highly recommend setting something like this up.

Hi Eddy,
We access TMS using Remote Desktop – it works very well. We had experimented with Parallels but it was problematic for our IT staff to support.
Regarding reports with RDC – there are a few ways to go. Our IT department has opted to map the user’s document folder on the virtual computer to a network folder – so when I run a report on my Mac and save it to the virtual PC’s desktop it saves it to my shared folder which I can then access from my Mac desktop. It works really well and I enjoy not having to reboot into Windows when I need to access TMS. Alternatively, you could simply save your reports directly to a shared folder mounted on the PC & on the Mac - no rewiring required.

Hey Karen,
How does exporting reports work through Parallels? I’ve been testing out TMS access through the Microsoft RDP app on the Mac and haven’t found an easy way to do it.
Thanks!

We currently have all of our staff running TMS through Parallels (simulating a windows environment) on Macs. Feel free to contact me directly if you have specific questions.
Best of luck,

Hi Everyone,
We have a couple of staff members who would like to have access to TMS (TMS 2012 R2) but are die hard Mac users. How do I go about installing TMS on a Mac? The Mac users will only need read-only rights (in case that makes a difference). Can you please advise?
Kind regards,
