Using Remote Desktop via the Content Server web interface

WARNING: Do not use this method for installing software upgrades to the Content Server or applying Windows security updates.

1.Open the web interface for Windows Server administration in a new window by going to Management settings > Windows server. You need to use Internet Explorer (IE) to use this menu item. (This page can also be accessed by typing https://<ContentServerIPAddress>:8098 in the web browser URL field.)

2.Go to Maintenance and select Remote Desktop.

Note: Some IE security settings may prevent the necessary ActiveX controls from running so that you cannot access the web interface for Windows Server administration or some of its tools. To overcome this issue, add the URL of the Content Server to the trusted sites in your browser. (To do this, in your browser go to Tools > Internet Options. Select the Security tab and click Trusted sites. Click Sites, enter the Content Server's URL and click Add. Click Close and OK.)
