The Aero is not supported on all versions of Windows. Aero must be supported by means of each one computer on both split ends of the RDC. The one thing I am sure about that you are capable of utilizes this feature in excess of a Remote Desktop connection if you’ve obtained the correct settings enabled lying on the client and also the server.To compose this exertion, you should have to ensure that you convene the preconditions-

• Both machines must be running on identical Windows Version
• The computer which you are running Remote Desktop client on must previously encompass Aero enabled.
• The remote computer must be with 512mb of RAM, and Enterprise or Ultimate Edition of Windows Vista or 7.

So I think you cannot make it via Snow leopard.

I think it is not directly possible to use the Aero enabled Windows Vista and 7 from remote Snow leopard. In order to use this feature remotely you need to have same edition on both ends. But I think you preserve through somewhat called X forwarding. It is the window server for Linux/UNIX and also is distro machines, which holds representing windows. The utility themselves are clients of the window server. You be capable of obtain a small number of dissimilar X servers for Windows, but the simplest to setting up is the XMing wrap up. XMing comprises XLaunch, which assists you without difficulty to group the connection and afterward remotely beginning Wireshark. I think you can use this on OS x also. You can give a try on this.
