6.8Setting up SDT for Remote Desktop access

The Microsoft Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) enables the system manager to securely access and manage remote Windows computers—to reconfigure applications and user profiles, upgrade the server’s operating system, reboot the machine, etc. Black Box’s Secure Tunneling uses SSH tunneling, so this RDP traffic is securely transferred through an authenticated and encrypted tunnel.

SDT with RDP also allows remote Users to connect to Windows XP, Vista, Server2003, and Server 2008 computers and to Windows 2000 Terminal Servers; and to access to all of the applications, files, and network resources (with full graphical interface just as though they were in front of the computer screen at work). To set up a secure Remote Desktop connection, enable Remote Desktop on the target Windows computer that you want to access and configure the RPD client software on the client PC.

6.8.1Enable Remote Desktop on the target Windows computer to be accessed To enable Remote Desktop on the Windows computer being accessed:

Open System in the Control Panel and click the Remote tab.

Check Allow users to connect remotely to this computer.

Click Select Remote Users.
