SIMS on Macs in 2017

[LeightonJames]

Tongue in cheek title there.

 

I assume that the answer will be the same as it always has been (VM or RDP) but what is the best way to run SIMS on a Macbook?

 

I have a school who have a few teachers who would rather use a macbook as their preferred machine. As you can imagine this is causing a small headache for SIMS access.

 

Anyone have any suggestions?

 

Cheers

We use it on our Macs. I have SIMS set up as a RemoteApp and I give the staff access to the .rdp file. Opens in Microsoft Remote Desktop app and looks like it's native on the Mac, rather than having to navigate a Windows Start Menu. Same method also works on Chromebooks that have access to the Android Google Play Store.

thats's an interesting approach.

 

Is it using this tool

Would you mind sharing your setup procedure?

We do it with RDP or staff can access it using a web browser via our HTML5 RDP client (RemoteSpark).

Well this is now moot

 

I have managed to talk the powers that be into either a Virtual solution or Windows Laptops.

 

thanks for the suggestions though.

Got excited at the title for a brief second, thought they were going to release it!
