RDP to DGX Spark from Mac

To enable RDP on the DGX Spark, open Settings, then System, then Remote Desktop. On the Remote Login tab, click Unlock, turn on Remote Login, and set a username and password.

On the Mac, install Windows App from the Mac App Store, or with Homebrew:

brew install --cask windows-app

If you add the DGX Spark in Windows App, you get a black screen. To fix it, change one setting in the .rdp file:

  1. In Windows App, select the DGX Spark and click Connections > Export to RDP file...
  2. Open the .rdp file in a text editor.
  3. Change use redirection server name:i:0 to use redirection server name:i:1 and save.
  4. Delete the old PC in Windows App.
  5. Click Connections > Import from RDP file... and select the edited file.

GNOME Remote Login uses a server redirect. After your first login, the DGX Spark tells the client to connect again with one-time credentials. With use redirection server name:i:1, Windows App uses the redirection server name for that second connection. With 0, the second login fails, and you see a black screen.

Or create the .rdp file yourself. Replace spark-xxxx.local with the host name or IP address of your DGX Spark, and your-rdp-user with the RDP username:

full address:s:spark-xxxx.local
username:s:your-rdp-user
use redirection server name:i:1
