Connect with RDP

If your virtual machine is running Windows, you use Remote Desktop (RDP) to connect to it.


Click on the Start Menu and search for Remote Desktop. Click on Remote Desktop Connection to open the program.

A dialog box will open where you enter the server's IP address. Once you have entered the IP address, click Connect.

A dialog box will open where you enter your username and password. This is one of the usernames you created when setting up the server. Click OK to log in.

If this is your first time connecting to this virtual server, you will see a warning about the certificate. The name on the certificate should match the hostname you assigned to the server. If it does, click Yes to connect and trust the certificate.
