MacAdmins asked and Microsoft answered: Microsoft Remote Desktop is now available standalone, outside of the Mac App Store.
With the release of 10.1.6 todayMicrosoft Remote Desktop is now available as a standalone installer, perfect for MacAdmins to distribute as they do other packages without needing users to deal with the Mac App Store.
It can be downloaded from //macadmins.software[an official MS site that links to the microsoft.com domain for all downloads]. The direct download link is://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=868963
The standalone version can also be kept up-to-date with Microsoft AutoUpdate alongside all the Office applications and Skype for Business.Releases will be kept in sync with the App Store.
MRD 8 is still available on the App Store [as mentioned in this previous thread], but we now know that MS is leaving it there only until they are confident that version 10 has all the kinks worked out. Version 8 is no longer being developed.

Sweet. This will make things a lot easier on Sys adminsin my opinion.
Thanks for sharing. My company uses MAC's in some cases and not being a heavy MAC user this maybe helpful.
Thanks, Kevin.
Also important in that - not certain but I strongly suspect that v10 only will get patched for/re: credssp.

That is correct. 10.1.7 will contain the CredSSP fix.
