I use Mircosoft Remote Desktop app on my MacBook, is it programmable like using AxMstscLib DCOM on Windows?
As far as I know,
there is nothing like AxMstscLib for programming from Microsoft on macOS,or you can try FreeRdp on mac.
btw, I make RDP/SSH management utility on Win that makes launching remote sessions very convenient and fast. Hope you can enjoy it and help to test it. Any of your advice or report is priceless 😄.

I'm prototyping using Apache Guacamole for brokering RDP connections.
The tech stack works really well, however, I'm hitting a usability issue in regaurds to running a Mac and trying to send hot keys like Control+C/Command+C and them not working.
Per Guac's docs, this seems to be inline with what they expect, as they don't do any "curtesy" remapping that other RDP managers on Mac (Microsoft Remote Desktop, RDS HTML5 Client, etc) do.
My question is has anyone found a customization or workaround to allow Mac->Win keymapping through Guacemole HTMl5 interface?
I'm not sure its a none starter, but it is extremly difficult to use windows with nearly no keyboard shortcuts :).
Thanks!
On my mac I use BetterTouchTool to get around this issue. It's not great though because your guacamole will still register the original keypresses from time to time. I have been looking for a workaround as well and have thus far not been able to find one :/.
First, I guess I'd have to figure out if I'm running remotely and second I'd have to figure out whether my remote connection is a standalone remote app or an app running on a terminal server (that may be tricky).
But, once I've figured out all those awful things, is there a way to run a windows function like ShellExecute locally instead of remotely?
The reason I'd want to do this is because I launch a web browser to view rather high bandwidth things that require javascript and flash and certain sysadmins who administer our product aren't too keen on having to make unnecessary and insecure modifications to their terminal server farm.
Yes, if the clients are running Windows and you can install software on them.
See Remote Desktop Services Virtual Channels in MSDN.
There is a free tool that does exactly what you want. I got reference from TechNet forums, it's named Remote Executer from http://www.mqtechnologies.com
Good luck
I'm looking to implement a solution to forward Windows applications to a Linux box.
XMing will let me do the reverse - ie: forward Linux applications to a Windows box.
The wikipedia article for RDP claims that something like this is supported but I couldn't find anything in the API.
To avoid confusion, I am not looking to share the entire desktop. If you have 2 applications running on a Windows host, I'd like the Linux client to be able to see and interact with both applications irrespective of whether they are minimized or overlapping on the Windows host.
Any pointers to existing open source software would also be much appreciated!
I think you should check out seamlessRDP (http://www.cendio.com/seamlessrdp/) and rdesktop (www.rdesktop.org)

I think this should go to the superuser side too.
I have a desktop with Windows server 2008 and I want to be able to remote in to my desktop from my laptop and control it, but still display on the desktop monitor (as well as laptop monitor). I know I can accomplish this with some VNC, but is there some way to accomplish this using remote desktop connection or any other standard features of windows server 2008 r2?
Thanks!!
I don't think it is possible with Remote Desktop Connection/Protocol. However, sharing display on both systems is possible using other tools like Remote Assistance and Desktop Sharing (via Net Meeting).

Previous poster is correct, this is not possible with stock windows remote control software. It is, however, possible with proxy networks software, as well as a long list of similar sofware, such a logmein. Proxy is linked to above.
I'm a web developer that needs to build a piece of software for my local office of about 20-30 Windows computers. It needs to automatically and silently run software updates and deployments on all computers.
The Windows computers run on a local network. I'm not sure where to start putting my hands on with something like this... I'm an experienced programmer, just need the right direction on what to read.
I know each Windows client has a Samba server, and also we're using Active Directory, but I'm not sure how that works.
How would I go about starting developing this? I'm sure there's Windows APIs for samba file transfers, but I also need to know about documentation on silently installing the .exe or whatever, and also I need APIs to know the applications running on the client to understand if they need to be updated.
Where's all these APIs?
Have a look at wpkg.org. It's license is GPL. It runs on Samba in an Active Directory. See also their feature overview.
I mentioned Samba only because you also did so. Though your exact words read: 'I know each Windows client has a Samba server [....] though I'm not sure how that works.'
In case you meant that each Windows client has access to a Samba server, my answer may be contributing to help you.
In case you thought your Windows clients are running Samba themselves, this is impossible (but my answer may help to clarify a few things nevertheless).
Here's why:
Samba is an implementation of the Microsoft SMB stack of networking protocols for Unix-oid operating systems.
SMB is what all Windows computers use natively.
why exactly you want do develop this application
there is a Microsoft product responsible for this thing . it is called SUS server
