I have the RD Client app on my android tablet which is a nexus 7, and I am wanting to connect to my Surface via the app, so I can use the surface on my android tablet. Currently, I am having problems doing it and I am wondering if anyone knows how to do connect them both?

you can't use remote desktop to connect to windows rt machines.

Looks like TeamViewer can connect both my Surface RT and Surface Pro either way?

Also, looks like they have an Android app too.  Who knew?

http://www.teamviewer.com/en/download/mobile-app.aspx

But I was anticipating doing a Remote Desktop Connection too, independent of TeamViewer, using mstsc.exe.  I have that program on both tablets and it starts when I start Remote Desktop Connection on either.

There is also a Remote Desktop Store app which somehow I just managed to install on Surface RT.  I wonder what I can do with it?

Shall we try to figure it out?   I have been intending on doing that for myself anyway but the TeamViewer app removed much of the incentive to do that.  <eg>

    1. you can't. teamviewer needs a desktop app to "remote" into.
    2. it does what it says. you can remote into other computers, not into itself.

    You can try to figure it out. That would be very helpful.
