How to set up Remote Desktop Services in Workplace

Everybody must be knowing that the remote desktop services are part of the circumference of the newer generations of Windows. They allow remote access to the computer without additional tools. But the problem with me is, I don't have much knowledge about how to use these services quickly and efficiently. So I thought to take some help from you scholars. Please tell me how to set up Remote Desktop Services in Workplace? I also want to know about the network architecture and initial position related to it. Any other features and tips would be grateful. :notworthy

With the Remote Desktop Services from Windows users can access the remote computer, as if they were sitting in front. The computer my office from the Home Office will be operated as such, and administrators can access the server in the data center access. The general principle of remote desktop services is not new. It is used successfully for many years by various tools of this kind. These were usually under the term of the KVM or Remote Control Tools summarized. KVM stands for Keyboard, Video and Mouse and describes the hardware components that are involved in it. This output screen, all over the network to a remote workstation redirected. The entries of the mouse and keyboard, take the opposite approach. One difference from the early KVM tools but there nonetheless. These were based mostly on a simple extension of the cable between the computer and the operating devices (keyboard, video, mouse). With KVM over IP lines, the principle extends to IP. This is analogous to the Remote Desktop Services (RDS). They also operate over IP networks. Microsoft has integrated this functionality a few years into its operating systems. So some extra tools are required.

First you should know how to set up Remote Desktop Services, configure and start using it. As a basis I used an environment consisting of a virtual machine and a physical machine. For the operation of the remote services, in principle, but this is irrelevant. However, it is to watch, because the virtualization software layer is to manage it applies: the virtualization layer. Furthermore, in virtual environments, network connections are usually reproduced virtually. You must also ensure that the virtual machine has access to the physical network, because communication with the remote computer via the IP network. you should also know that the target system is usually removed, an adaptation of the IP address can not be ad hoc to be carried out. This additional step can be seen in our case as a disadvantage, but he is also an additional level of security. For if the destination address is unknown, may be inaccessible.

In order to determine the basic communication skills, you should first use the ping command send a test message through the communication and therefore necessary. Then apply to their own network address by typing IPCONFIG in a command line window. Check with ping also if you get to the target computer to. It may, however, intervening firewalls request not block the ping. If in doubt, the firewall be shut off - but this should only happen in exceptional cases, for general security reasons, the firewall will remain active The RDS communication works when set up properly, even on the internal Windows firewall Other firewall may need to be adjusted...

1. The computer will be accessed via Remote Desktop, you must first explicitly allow this access. This security setting is necessary because it would be very dangerous if each user could access the Internet on a computer. To grant permission for RDS, go to the properties of the computer.
2. Click on the Start button on the Windows desktop, navigate to the item "Computer" and open then right click contextual menu, and in it the "Properties".
3. You can view the computer properties. In the left pane, see "Control Panel Home", select "Remote Settings". Select this option.
4. In the subsequent dialog box which you set under the tab "Remote" Computer permit "in the" Remote Assistance connections to this hook. There are two variants: The middle option allows any remote connection, but it allows remote access only when authentication is done. These settings are fairly generic and apply to all users. It is here only to determine whether access should be allowed. But you can do more elaborate setting. With the button "Advanced ..." for example, can the time limit for remote access, and the option "Select Users ..." allows users to define rules defined.
5. Now we turn to the second computer. It will connect to another device. The services for setting up the RDS, see the Control Panel. If you reduced the display with the most entries in the Control Panel can only find, so you expand it to "all Control Panel items.
6. Now you can find the configuration of the Remote Desktop services, under the entry "Remote App and Desktop Connection". Call this option.
7. From access to the target computer, you must set up the network connection. If no exists, Windows tells you with this. This screen shows only the first configuration of the RDS. If you already have a connection, you can set up another connection. Call RemoteApp and Desktop set up connections "option in the left menu for New Connection.
8. Access to the remote computer via the network. Enter the host name or IP address of the destination computer. If you use the computer name, you must make sure that a working name resolution through DNS.
9. Windows presents once again a confirmation screen and tells you what will now take place. This links are registered on the target computer. If you approve the establishment of the RDS connection, Windows builds the connection to the destination computer.
10. If everything is set up correctly, you now have access to the desktop of the remote device. This is shown in the picture with a black background. They are working on the remote desktop just as if you do directly.
11. By closing the window (X top right) to connect to the remote desktop is broken again. You also can view the desktop in full screen size. As a desktop it is understood that the Windows interface and the user computer.
12. If you have set up the remote desktop connection to, you can directly from the Start menu in the future. The device shall be made only once at the beginning

With these standard procedures, as we have defined it above, you can access a remote computer. In you want to imagine some peculiarities that we have encountered in working with RDS. You can also access each other. This may take the test and setup easier. If your devices have only one network card, you can skip this note. But if one of the computers, the RDS communication are involved in more than a network card equipped with, you should at least read this passage. servers are often equipped with multiple network cards, depending on function. In the test scenario, we had computers with multiple network cards in use. In addition to that are created when using VMware virtualization systems virtual switches.

In such a complex environment with multiple physical NICs and virtual switches easily it can happen that one survey of the networks and their binding order or lose the Windows entanglement. The surest way to achieve at least an initial connection between the two computers is, is to disable all unnecessary network connections. Later, can then be gradually communication via the other network cards, if they ever needed to open again. Access to a remote device via RDS must be secured by a password. In the test scenario, we used an account of the target computer had no password. RDS acknowledges this with an error message and the comment: "... blank passwords not allowed ...". You must always use an account that has a password on the target computer. To set up RDS on a Windows server, you must restart the Server Manger. The activation of IBS is made by the entry "Configure Remote Desktop" in the upper right hand task bar.

When the initial establishment of the RDS connection to the destination computer name change after you get RDS in the later session when connecting a message - Windows informs you that the certificate is incorrect. The certificate is no longer fit together with the name of the target computer. Windows will indicate: "The server name on the certificate is false". Let yourself be confused by the message "Server Name" is not: It is the name of the target computer that is accessible to us. To set up the certificate for the access, press the button "View Certificate". In the next screen, click the button "Install Certificate" button. Then starts a wizard that helps you set up the certificate. You may choose the certificate store where the certificate should be filed. More is not to do to set up the certificate.
