Specify connection on launch for Microsoft Remote Desktop client

microsoftremote desktop

I'd like to be able to connect to a specific remote desktop when I start Microsoft's RDT client. I'm running the latest RDT 8.0.15 client on Yosemite.

How can I do that?

You can do this by launching from an .rdp file: * Create the Desktop bookmark in the app * Export the Desktop as an .rdp file to e.g. your Mac Desktop * Double-click to start the app and connect to the Desktop.

AFAIK, there's no way to configure the app to launch a desktop at start.
