Microsoft Remote Desktop 10 Error 0x204

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you receive an error 0x204 when you try to log in to Microsoft Remote Desktop 10 app for Mac.



I would suggest you to check if you are using the latest version of Microsoft Remote Desktop app. Please install the latest version and see if that helps in resolving the issue.



You can try resetting the network settings for your Mac and check. Please refer the Apple article

How to use network locations on your Mac.



You may also refer the article
Get started with Remote Desktop on Mac and see if that helps.



However, as the issue is related to Remote Desktop Client, the ideal forum to post the query will be

TechNet forums. Where we have support professionals who are well equipped with the knowledge on Remote Desktop clients.

Microsoft Remote Desktop: Error code: 0x204

I use my iMac (macOS) Catalina Version 10.15.7 and remote into my Windows 10 PC at work from home using our company VPN. This has been working fine until yesterday when I got:

Unable to connect

We couldn't connect to the remote PC. Make sure the PC is turned on and connected to the network, and that remote access is enabled.

Error code: 0x204

I have reinstalled Microsoft Remote Desktop and the problem persists.

I can remote into my PC using my VNC Viewer without problems. However I like using MS Remote Desktop as people at work cannot watch me working (sensitive information)

I have called Apple Care and they have referred me back to Microsoft.

I'd be grateful if someone could post some steps that I could take to rectify this matter.

 

Error 0x204 with Microsoft Remote Desktop on Catalina

Hi, I'm Mario, an independent advisor and I'd be happy to help with your issue.

We are sorry about what happened.

The remote desktop 0x204 error also occurs because remote desktop connections are not allowed through the Windows Firewall or other security programs you are using. So, check your security settings.

Kind Regards,
